Oh hey Ash, when'd you become a shadow priest? No but seriously, he's so fucking annoying on high difficulty levels. Keeping up the proud tradition of aneurysm-inducing bosses I see, SNK.
In other matters that have nothing to do with gaming, there was a class of what looked like first-graders on the subway today. No big deal, right? When I was in grade school they'd take us on the subway sometimes for field trips, like if we were going to one of the museums in the city. We would have never been allowed to act like these kids were though. They were swinging in circles around the poles, standing on the seats, walking across the seats, sitting or laying across multiple seats, and just generally being nuisances, which their handlers blithely ignored.
Had any of us acted like that, you could rest assured we'd never be allowed on another subway trip again. Also our parents would be hearing about it. Possibly the principal as well. We'd be in a world of shit. I forget though, today's free-spirited little "angels" can't be fettered by such rules and restrictions as "those poles are not a jungle gym", "don't play on the seats", or heaven forbid, "don't stand by the edge of the platform". Of course, most adults can't be bothered to follow that one either, but that's beside the point. The point is that I was surrounded by brats, and it was terrible.
Did I mention that there were also four or five of them that felt it necessary to shriek every time the lights went out? The R trains are pretty old, and sometime's the lighting's faulty in the cars. This one had bad lighting, and every time it went out all you'd hear was a cacophony of screams. I had headphones in, and I could still hear them. In fact, they drowned out what I was listening to.
Thanks, whatever school you guys came from! You've just further cemented my dislike of children.
