I've noticed lately that there are certain smells and tastes that remind me of good and/or bad games. For instance, I'm currently eating Cracked Pepper & Olive Oil Triscuits. I ate these during the marathon of Super Paper Mario, and now when I think about the game or see it being played, I get an urge for them. Another example would be my sampling of Sour Jelly Beans while playing an old game called Operation: Flashpoint for the PC. Now when I eat those it takes me back to my days of PC gaming. It works for smells aswell. Many vanilla scented Bath and Body Works hand soaps give me a vivid reminder of why I stopped playing Command and Conquer Red Alert 2, or the smell of pizza making me want to own some people in Soldier of Fortune 2: Double of Helix Multiplayer again.

But could this be a bad thing? Another thing I've found about this taste/smell/memory circlej*rk is that it can also make me not want to play games. When I play a game reminding me of a food or drink that I don't like anymore it makes me stop playing it just because I hate being reminded of that taste. It's almost similar to getting sh*tfaced and then not being able to stand the thought of the drink that did it to you.

Anyways, I just figured that I could share my experiences with you.

Now that I've gotten that out of my system...

Some games I've been playing recently are:

Forza Motorsport 2: I like this game but it's still a racing game; they are repetitive. No matter how many cars I obtain and races I win, it still doesn't seem like I'm getting anywhere. Oh well, I'm just glad I didn't buy it.

Chromehounds: I rented it from a local video store and fell in love with it again. I rented it when it came out and got bored with it but now I've gotten into a good clan and all and I even bought it from Gamefly for 20 bucks so I guess I'll be adding that to my collection soon.

Battlestations Midway: I've always loved this game but got a little bored with it. Now that I've bought the Iowa Map Pack and a few of my friends play it, It's reenergized this game for me. Yay for stuffs.

Besides that I've been attempting to raise my Gamerscore a bit- at least to 14,000. I'll be playing a few more bad games later on this week and I'm really not looking forward to that but hey, it comes with the territory.

On another note it's Summer.

I don't really have alot to say about the subject now but I guess the excitement will set in eventually- this week maybe?

My sleep schedule is being rearranged as I type and it feels like 6:00 PM while it's 9:41 PM here. Can I get a booyah for jacked up sleep schedules!?!

Booyah,

EDIT: WHY DO I FIND HER UNNATURALLY ATTRACTIVE?

It's almost scary... I usually can't even tell whether Square Enix's characters are of the right gender.

EDIT 2: And what is she holding?
