I forgot this space existed

So to those still following me on GS I'll give you some updates.

Well things have been up and down, but the cool things is I'm finishing up college soon so that's cool. I have a lot of my DA projects updated over on deviant art. Other then boredom is still abound and still single... so I'm doing a lot of nerd things...

Launching error

I just bought a new boat and decided to take 'er for the maiden voyage this past weekend.
This is my first boat and I wasn't quite sure of the exact Standard Operating Procedures for launching it off a ramp, but I figured it couldn't be too hard.
I consulted my local boat dealer for advice, but they just said "don't let the trailer get too deep when you are trying to launch the boat".

Well, I don't know what they meant by that as I could barely get the trailer in the water at all!
The stupid truck would die and start floating before the trailer even got close to deep enough!

What am I doing wrong? Should I load the truck down with some lead or maybe rocks so it doesn't float?

Anyhow, here's a picture. See for yourself. What am I doing wrong?

Catch up time and Youtube Rants?

Hay guys, I know it has been a long time since I have made a journal and all I can say is that I am sorry for leaving you guy in the dust. I had just recently broken up with my girlfriend after two years of being together and left this life behind. Know that I have all this time again, I came back her to my routes and decided it was time torevisitthe gamespot life once again. Lets start with an update on how I have been. I got a bunch of new games that Irarelyplay anymore and mygrammarhas gotten better Lol! My writing has improvedincrediblyand I am planning to publish the previous story I wrote here into a trilogy called The Golden Trust. I want to keep thatunder-rapsuntil it gets out to the public so that way no one steals my ideas, so sorry about the tease. But the biggest news is after three years of asking and hoping, I finally got a laptop. But its not any laptop, it is the new Macbook and I love it. I will never use a PC again. I have also just finished a video class and now that I have all these tools, I was thinking about doing rants on youtube. My account name is therealagent81 , if anyone isinterestedin subscribing or just checking out my videos so far, witch is just a collection of cool AMV's I have found over the years and a trailer for the movie I directed called Masked. Be sure to check that out and give my your opinions on if I should do rants or not. I guess I leave another updatetomorrow, considering I am going back to updating this daily. I catch you all later.

PS: I know I failed with the Kingdom of Hearts Union, but that had died years ago, so stop telling me that we should bring it back, because I have noaccessto it because my computercrashedduring thereassigningof the leader, and gave it to a guy who is never online.

Blow some steam about this place.
Level 29 WTF When the hell did I get to level 29? GS is so weird now. I left right before the redesign and now there are widgets and useless junk everywhere. But then again it was much different when I first started here. The forums were just random boards and the only thing keeping people together in them was a locked thread of member's names. Oh yeah ,the background was blue. Times were simpler then and cross unions were not a problem. I must admit I had more fun at the Final Fantasy Legion than I ever did in any Union (except maybe HCU because we played online and fffu). I just wish I wasn't part of the reason why it was destroyed (not entirely my fault, but I was a poor mod and unions put the last nail in it's face)

I miss you guys, but not enough to come back because this place is a drug. It's true, this place is a drug. It is an addicting useless waste of time that satisfies simple interpersonal relations with people who share interests that I think is either too weird to talk too my normal friends about or too unknown for anyone to be as passionate about as me. But I would never want to talk to anime fans or avid video game players in real life because there personalities are shallow dull and predictably lame. Take no offense, but I probable would only like you guys half as much as I do if I were to meet you in real life. So that led me to a place like this and I found myself on the forums. I was posting a crap load and would wait for minutes just to get the reaction out of a person. But it really doesn't add up to anything. These levels are pretty pointless as does most posting unless it is over a topic with real substance and debate. And when I find a place of good debate, it only deteriorates into the same old off topic cheap jokes and nonsense.

So when I lost the back end of GS, the main part of the website was not there to keep me in and perhaps lure me back to the threads in the future. Once Jeff, Ryan, Brad, Alex, and Rich left, there was no reason to stay in GS because their personality alone is what set this site apart. Heck, if GS live was never created, I would never have been so involved in video games to even think about posting in a forum. So I decide to leave GS. I am lucky because Jeff, Ryan, Brad, and Vinny made a new website "GiantBomb.com". It really is a return to the simple, clean system I remember and loved. Plus, just being in the website is fun. It is a wiki site for everything video games and anyone is allow to add to it (once it goes through a mod). I can not only read about new games or talk about old, but I can also enlighten myself with interesting facts and help add to it myself. It is still a VG website, but I must admit that it is much more persistent than this place.

You can find me at giantbomb.com, username McQuinn
and playstation network with the same name McQuinn

If you ever wondered what I look like, here's a pic of me making a face.

How's Everyones Summer Going?

So I've got exactly 3 weeks left before I have to report to college. Classes start on September 2nd for me, but I have to move in on August 30th. For those that don't know yet, I'm going to Stony Brook University and I plan to go into the Biomedical engineering major. But I have a feeling that will change, but only time will tell. I've already gotten my fall schedule, and it's looking fairly decent. Only on Wednesday I've got a 8:30am-2:50pm day with about a hour break somewhere in there and an 8:20am-1:45pm day with a 35 minute break somewhere in there on Tuesday. Otherwise, everyday I get out of classes before 1pm. So I have about 3-4 hours of class stuff and the rest of the day to myself. Weekends I'll probably return home and try to work somewhere since I live less than an hour and half away.

So that's school stuff anyways, my summer is going pretty well in general. I work 25 hours a week with minimum wage, which sounds pretty crappy, but my job is pretty alright. I don't do much work, and I don't do anything that's particularly difficult. My boss and coworkers are all pretty cool and nice people. So they don't mind that I come like half hour late everyday, and take 2 hour lunch breaks almost everyday. I spend a good portion of my time there just reading Yahoo news because almost everything else is blocked. So I live for breaking news. Since my girlfriend works only 20 blocks away from me and gets out of work an hour after I do, I wait for her everyday. I've also got a couple friends that work at Ben and Jerry's two train stops away, which is where I usually meet my gf. There I get free stuff and I chill for an hour and talk or read a newspaper or whatever. Outside my work days, I usually go out once or twice between Friday and Monday since there's no work for me those days. Yesterday I went to the beach and it was pretty fun. I came home past midnight though so I got yelled at by my mom and she's still yelling at me. Which is the only problem this summer, that my mom goes crazy when I come home late, which kinda sucks. She's also against me leaving home to go to college and my relationship...crappy stuff. But all is ohkay for now I guess. As for the rest of the summer, work will be over on the 14th. I get to go to Gracie Mansion, which is the mayors mansion on the 18th which should be fun. Other than that, I don't have any special plans for anything for the remainder of my lovely summer.

Anyways, how's everyones summer going.

Snake Eater
Level 32. I still do come here, not so often. School is making me very busy, and  I seem to have lost that spark in GS that kept me coming back. OT just seems like a lame popularity contest now. Whatever.

Finished Kingdom Hearts.......

So I finally finished it... The reason I didn't finish it earlier was... well... I kinda forgot about it and played other games... but a friend of me, borrowed the game and we he said he had finished it... well, I had to finish it as well.

Can you believe I stopped playing while I was near the end?... I only had to go to the last world and kick Ansem's ass... I must say he went down easier then I thought... Oh yeah, I also managed to get pasted Hades in the Hades Cup... last time he always kicked my ass... the bastard... and Rock Titan was pretty easy... but I think I'll wait and train like hell, before even attempting to go for the Gold Cup or even the Platinum Cup... Cause... I mean... what were they thinking when they made up the Platinum Cup... my personal record is staying 20 seconds in the ring... dodging he's attacks... not even damaging him....

Well, I really like Kingdom Hearts and can't wait till I get my hands on Kingdom Hearts 2... I wonder which FF characters are in Kingdom Hearts 2?... I already know of one... Anyways, I'll go and see if there is another game I haven't finished yet... I bet there are...

So it's 1,2,3,4, FIVE months since my last entry.
So enjoy this poem I wrote.


Those Gosh Darn Killer Bees

The Smiths were enjoying their new home.
Paradise it seemed. And to think that, they weren’t alone.

They were a working class family,

Almost like a stereotypical on you’d see on TV.
Stan, the father, worked in the local Solar Power Plant.

Mille, the mother, was a housewife, cooking for the hungry Smiths, making sure there was none left for the ants.

Mike and Ike, the two sons, were as happy as can be in their local elementary school.

They both even had girlfriends in the third grade, most were jealous fools.

This life continued fine for 3 years, then came those gosh darn African Killer Bees.

They tore apart trucks,
they ripped apart lawns,

They Rendered cattle to bones,

And feasted upon punk rock music drones.

They devoured the Smith’s $300,000 house.

They left nothing, not even a mouse.

The Smiths tried to drive away in their $10,000 car,

But the Bees went and made sure they didn’t get far.

The Smiths tried to get to the next state in their $50,000 boat,

But let’s just say it’s good that people can float.

The smith’s got away with the story to tell.

Making sure people beware the Bees most fell.
