It's been a LONG time since I updated.

It's been a very long time since I've updated my journal, so I figure that I should let you know how things are going.

We didn't celebrate Christmas on the 25th because my Mom's away in South Africa and we're waiting for her, so we're doing it on the 30th. Ryan came down from Canada for two weeks to spend Christmas with me, which totally rocks. We've been best friends since 2nd grade. My brother Shaun also came down on short notice too, which is awesome because we were 4 guys in the house, and Shaun's fiancée from France, Vanessa who's a darling.

Sunday I finally went and bought my laptop, so I'm ecstatic, but very broke now :D

Specs:

AMD64 Mobile @ 2.0ghz
512MB DDR Ram
80Gb HDD
15.4" High-Def Widescreen Ultrabrite LCD (nifty black gloss over it)
Comes with a Wireless mouse
Comes with a 4-port high speed USB Hub
ATI Radeon 9600 Mobile :D

So I bought it Sunday, but again I can't open it until the 30th, so my Dad is keeping it RIGHT INFRONT OF ME in my room. These are the longest four days of my life.

Anywho!

I've been playing Leisure Suit Larry : Magna Cum Laude as per Shaun's suggestion, and it's immensely fun, and thusly I'd like to share some of the high points with you :D


This game is a plethora of 70s and 80s humour and culture!
In no particular order:

1. The conversation system is a side scrolling game where you move a sperm cell up and down and get the 'good choices' (green smilies), dodge the bad 'red' ones, and dodge the beer and other stuff to prevent you from getting drunk. If you get drunk, it's harder to control the sperm.
2. "Willie Nelson has a submarine!" -- You trying to impress a farm girl by telling her something she doesn't know that wasn't mentioned in "Country Thunder" magazine.
   
3. At one point in the game you're trying to get with a girl who's a high-tech boss from like James Bond or something ( She even has a golden gun later ), and you tell her to meet your boss at your dorm room, but they'll talk through the door because he doesn't talk to anyone face to face. You have a conversation using your TV and old Thundercats episodes, splicing video, and if you screen up and get the bad (red) dialogue points, it says really awesome things like "The rebellion must be crushed for I am RATHGAR!". Oh yeah, and you're piss drunk so steering sucks :D
4. Ron Jeremy is the porn fairy, and has a dildo for a wand.
5. There's a monkey that's constantly masturbating named Leopold, and you two are tricked into switching brains for a time. Also, Leopold writes poetry and recites fluent Shakespeare.
6. Constant references to the original Leisure Suit Larry games
7. There's a pimp :D
8. You get to play Quarters with a Russian Quarters Champ, who, after losing puts on a jetpack and flies like 200 feet into the air and explodes o_o
9. A poem conversation read on the fly by you about the penis, the "Cobra-headed invader".
10. In the gay bar, a conversation-style song spoofing "Summer lovin'" from Grease about Gays and Lesbians. *pointing to dildo* "Is it dishwasher safe?"
11. Pissing on the paintings on the art Gallery while the Pimp chases you and tries to kill you.
12. The campus slut when The Commisar( campus homeless person), and 4 other people walk into your room when you're about to 'do' her, and the Commisar asking for a nickel, THEN the campus slut saying she hasn't had a fivesome in a while.
13. The country girl exclaiming " Oh my God you're not Jewish?! I can't have sex with you ! " when you drop your shorts and she looks at your tool.
14. The mime girl being a guy, and you curling into a ball on the floor repeating over and over "I don't want a weiner! I don't want a weiner!"
