Because We Can't Find Reverse
To think, this is my last night in Centennial Hall. There are a lot of emotions there. In fact, the emotion of not wanting it to be over has left me pretty drained recently. But that's that. Tomorrow begins something new, and there's not much point worrying about the loss of old things. I've never been good at byes. For that matter, hellos are difficult too.
One of the interesting things about online journals is that it makes it so easy to deflect emotion into an indirect broadcast rather than a direct emotional call to the people you really want to interact with. I guess that's a weakness of having a journal like this.
I used to have a "determined" videogame theme playlist on Winamp. I miss that right at this moment.
At the very least, despite work and my capstone project, this summer should be pretty relaxing for me. And I'll have a lot of time to spend with my girlfriend, and lots of games to play.
To do in LJ:
1. Revamp the Jaymark Primer
2. Post my Senior Seminar Paper
I've been playing Nintendo 64 games with Stephie recently, and every time I use a Nintendo 64 controller, the control stick seems a little more foreign to me. The way the spring pulls back harder the further out the stick is from neutral is jarring. Heck, the small range of motion compared to modern controllers is awkward. The placement of the outer prong buttons, for puzzle games, though, is still pretty much perfect. Big, but not too big. Easily graspable. Infinitely better than the Gamecube's tiny, weirdly-placed control pad.
