This is exploding.
This is awesome.
This is CNN.
And last week was Bryan's "DDRTY." Yes. I'd later find out that his parents didn't know about it, but things stayed pretty mellow throughout, so it didn't matter...I hope.
When I got there, Adam, Soy, and Bryan (subliminal TLHS reference) were all hanging out in Bryan's room, playing Killer Instinct on Bryan's FUGGIN' ARCADE CABINET BOUGHT CHEAP OFF OF VIDEO BOB. That seriously blew me away. I though it was illegal to, uh, own something that cool in one's room.
I hadn't played KI since around 6th grade where I thought I was teh shit because I could do a 12 hit regular combo, so that was a nice bit of nostalgia (I missed the announcer saying "FIGHT OH" after you choose characters). Even though I'd forgotten how the combo system worked in this, and most games came down to "who could land the most jabs in a row before the other guy remembers he can block after the first," it was still fun filler.
Bryan then proudly showed off his older brother's wacky animated Flash shorts. All I remember was that A) something got crushed in almost every one, and B) there were gay pirates. Reminded me of South Park, almost. I noticed Soy was one of those people who would laugh at a gag, and then later say "That was soo stupid." Maybe those were just her "ha-ha I'm just making you feel better" laughs. Adam just laughed his ass off.
Bryan and I played some Schfifty 5th mix, with him forcing me to dance to "The Twist" and "Swing It"--bleh. Bryan's couch, btw, is conveniently set up so whoever is sitting down will get an eyeful of the DDRer's ass (and what with the male:female ratio at this gathering, this isn't a good thing). TimRules (who doesn't at MvC2), SKiCLes, who keeps asking what my mile time is, and Some Guy arrived later, and we all just sat down and played some 3rd mix. Songs of choice? Everything by E-rotic, naturally. NICKIE! (NICKIE!) NICKIE! (NICKIE!)
Shaolin Soccer came up next on Bryan's bigass MAC monitor, and it was a blast. This is Exploding got a huge laugh, and the action and humor was appreciated by the Stupid American Imperialists who hadn't seen it. =D The half of the first half lost audio for some inexplicable reason, so we were forced to amuse ourselves by reading and ridiculing the painfully bad subtitles. (ex. Mom to daughter, fleeing scene: "Go home! Nothing interested!")
I played some Konamix after it was all done and just down to me, Bryan and Tim. We watched a few MvC2/DDR videos I brought on CD for Bryan, I unsuccessfully try freestyle at On the Jazz and Do it Right (6th mix songs I've been missing on DWI forever), and, pool out, eet's all ova'.
The DDR Club signup was a pretty big success yesterday, with Jeff and I blasting DDR music (Long Train Runnin!) at our table in the school ampitheatre, and getting 30+ signatures. We had about 1/4 of the signed-up people show up today at the first meeting, but maybe once we actually start dancing, things will improve. We're planning on modding pads, meeting at arcades...Jeff might even start a mini-site for it.
Homeworkload sucks lately, thank you, drive through.
Indogutsu has started thinking about re-starting New Ordeals, a game/webcomic that had a great concept (follow Indo around in what is basically his life, with a little exaggeration :P). Hecatomb is NOT close to release, but is sounding like tri-kanji's best work yet (they even fix up the Shicimenchouken trading system). All RM2K fans, be sure to check it out over here.
Big Tsu also "translated" some lyrics for a song by Mr. Ed Jumps the Gun (yep, the same German group who covered "Smoke" in DDR 2nd mix) in the same style as all the other DDR lyric-fests. It's Don't Ha Ha, covering "Don't You Just Know It" by Huey "Piano" Smith (only reason I mentioned that is because that original MP3 is 2.31MB big and 2:31 in length!!!!11). Go to "irc.slashnet.org -> #brasington" if you ever want to get the MP3 from PitcairnMan or Indogutsu. Or just to say hi.
Well, enough. I've got a cross country invitational tomorrow morning. Might see "Barbershop" tomorrow (sounds a little like "Friday," which I loved). =|
"g0ts0y" sounds way too similar to "Goatse," I'm sorry.
