Wal-Mart Sunday, September 29th, 2002

I bought The Rocketeer and Army of Darkness DVDs at Wal-Mart last night with Nick, Lynsay and Brandon. I watched The Rocketeer earlier today, and believe me, that movie still kicks ass. It’s definitely one of my favorites. The graphics are still decent too. On the other hand, the version of Army of Darkness I bought doesn’t have the good ending (by “good ending” I mean the totally unrealistic, funny as hell one-liner mania ending), contrary to Trunx’ beliefs. Dammit. Now I have the AOD DVD with the shit ending. I might take it back, but I doubt they will since it’s already opened. I might just keep it and buy the good ending DVD along with it. The problem is, I don’t know which damn DVD has the good ending. There are so many versions of that DVD on the market, it’s rather confusing. I am getting a new computer soon. The CPU only. I am not sure what I’m going to get, but it will have to be within the boundaries of my dwindling back account as well as enough to keep me ahead of the game for 4 years. Haha, nothing can keep you ahead of the game for 4 years nowadays. I just mean that I want something that will be respectable, and still run programs and other tasks four years from now. Who would have thought this shitbox Celeron 533 I’m running right now would have lasted almost 4 years? It’s lasted a good 3 1/2, and I can still run programs fine. That’s what I mean by 4 years. This is what I am planning on getting:

1.4 GHz or above processor
Motherboard that supports DDR RAM, can hold at least 3 RAM chips, has a freakin’ AGP slot, and around 5 or so PCI slots.
80 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
Sound Blaster Sound Card
GeForce 4 Ti4100 64 MB DDR RAM Video card
40X Cd Burner

Yeah, you maybe thinking I’m made of money, but first: I made a lot of money over the summer, so I have a little bit in the bank. Secondly, I can get all that (not including monitor,etc. becaues I already have that stuff) for around $500. Order all the parts off the internet, and boom, that’s all she wrote.

I got me a new set of speakers. They are BlueMax’s old (3 months old) Altec Lansings. They have four speakers for the treble and midrange, and they have a decent acoustic subwoofer. It’s not powered by an amp, but it’s decently boom-boomish. They are nicer than my old ones. Now, if I only I had a good computer.

I bought Kingdom Hearts for the Playstation 2. It’s Squaresoft’s newest RPG. For the non-RPG fanatics, Disney also happened to make this game. It is a mix between Final Fantasy and Disney movies, basically. It is much cooler than you think to have Goofy as the knight in your party, and Donald Duck as the wizard. Having Aerith and Yuffie from Final Fantasy 7, Selphie and Squall from Final Fantasy 8, and Wakka and Tidus from Final Fantasy 10 actually talking to the main characters is very cool. Aerith explained the game’s plot to Donald Duck and Goofy, and Yuffie plus Squall explained it to Sora, the main character. The game is harder than most Final Fantasies. It reminds me mostly of a mix between Xenogears and Grandia, both for Playstation. The combat system is like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. The combat system and difficulty level is the really only bad parts about the game. So far, it is very good. I can’t get over talking to Final Fantasy and Disney characters all in one game. Truly awesome.

And now, I leave you with a quote from Grand Theft Auto 3: “Some Diablo Scumbag has been pimpin’ his scuzzy bitches in my backyard.”

Goodnight and Godspeed.
