Ridin' Dirty

Yeah, dunno...bit on the drunk side at the mo' and thought I'd come out and play for a bit...you know how it is...or maybe you don't.

I just remember how jazzed I was when I brought the first Xbox home and I got the Xbox Soundtrack CD with it...Not that there was much good on the album, but that Ludacris song on there (incidentally the only one I've ever liked), was just sweet...I'm trying to remember what else was on there, but the only one I can remember other than that is the bloody rap-metal song...Where am I going with this? Er...not sure...

I guess it's just a wish for the simpler times. In gaming, in life, whatever...I remember the first time I played Ninja Gaiden and how blown away I was with that game...still am, really...what bothers me is that I really don't feel that way about games in this generation so far, and I'm tired of being patient as I wait for the next killer title to come down the line. Gears just didn't do it for me, I'm sorry. Bah...wtf??? bah??? Dunno where that came from...Anyway, is there anyone out there who just remembers the first time they cracked open a new system and got excited...I mean the Xbox was the last time I really cared about a console. The 360 is great, but it was just an upgrade...I couldn't get my hands on a Wii, though I had one reserved, I had to work and couldn't get the night off to stand in line. Maybe that'll be the one...just something different...I think that's all I need.

last time I was extremely excited about a consol was when I got my sega genesis........man, the smile on my face and the uncontrolled chuckling I kept on producing (people thought I was possesed or something) lol anyways...good luck with the search for a "wow" factor....I gave up on it when the ps3 failed to deliver what it promised.

I wasn't expecting a wow factor with the PS3...essentially, I knew it was just going to be a PC without the keyboard and monitor. Hard to be blown away by something that I already own. I never owned a Genesis until after it was popular...I was a Nintendo lass. I did however love the Mutant League games for the Genesis and wrote to EA to bing them to the SNES at the time...(hey, I was in my early teens...I had no life, I admit it. hehe). To tell you the truth, I think this nostalgia was brought on by the 2 bottles of wine consumed throughout the night with my friends...hindsight makes things seem cooler than they actually were, sometimes. I'll leave this post on here as a reminder that when you're drunk...posting a blog might not be the best thing to do...maybe someone could learn from it.

Or maybe, when you are drunk, you just magnify more on what you're thinking without caring about what others might think of your ideas.

By golly Watson, I think I cracked it on a psychological level.
lmao.

The post didn't seem like it was typed out by a drunk person. I hear your speach and your comprehension skills become crippled when you're drunk.
(yes, I' ve never been drunk, nor do I plan to, It's more of a personal choice)

you want to know what's ironic?
I sent several letters in / or around 1994 to midway and rareware begging them to port killer instinct to the Genesis, but what did a nine year old kid know lol

I guess it's just another example of how each consol had its strenghts.

haha, I just realised what your display name meant

Born-of-ash
That's very clever.
and here I was reading it out real fast as "borno-fash" haha (just thought I'd share my dry sense of humor)

This comment doesn't really make me sound like I'm sober does it? the irony

hehe...Yeah, Des and I get that on Xbox Live alot...I er...borrowed the name from Des, though, so wish I could take credit for it. Someone told me that "borno-fash" was a quote from a Sex Pistols song, so I don't get terribly offended when someone thinks it's one way or the other. Everything's open to interpretation...As for the drinking thing...I rarely do it, as I'm the mother of two and work quite a bit, but on the rare occassion that I get free time...I like to go out and have a few...I'm Scottish after all. Which is probably the best explanation as to why I can polish off two bottles of wine and still type a blog that's somewhat coherent, if not just a tad embarassing. Alcohol affects everyone differently...(hence why some people get really violent after a few drinks, some get happy and others get sad...) I mean, some of the most brilliant works of the worlds most famous writers have been written under the influence of some substance or another...but I respect and applaud your decision to live straight-edge. More people could benefit from personal choices like that.

Straight-edge? Me? I'm anything but that. I'd chose to have a good time, but you could say, in order to give my all in Extra curricular activities at Uni, I need to make a few personal choices I might not necessarily appreciate. But hey, I came this far, I think I can keep it up FO SHO =)

HAHA, by the way, I hope you have one of those cups that have the words "best mom in the world" printed on them. If you don't then, scream Mutiny!
