Stupid Parents are Stupid
What the crap Mom. What the crap.
I swear as soon as her boyfriend gets within a 20 foot radius of her, some signal goes off in her brain and she turns into this mindless zombie that agrees with everything he says, does everything the same way he does it, and becomes as idiotic as him. My forehead is red from being slapped so much.
We've had the same TV in the house going on 6 years now, meaning the same remote. She comes in going, "lol Scott is an idiot and can't figure out how to turn on the TV so I'm automatically incapable as well, help? :D?" ...Listen closely Mom. You walk over to the set. Carefully locate the 'Power' button. Put your finger on it and press until it clicks. The TV is now on. Success!
What the crap. And then when we finally got past the inevitable talk-me-through-everything-you-just-did-until-my-brain-comprehends-it phase, she wanted me to tell her how to change the channel. ...It's a TV and cable box Mom! Not a freaking monster of a home entertainment machine that has 10+ remotes and instructions that take 5 days to get through!! Ugh. Sometimes, I swear...
And this shouldn't have bothered me as much as it did, but we had tilapia for dinner tonight and he comes in going "lol is that fish?" ...No Scott, it's a hunk of alligator meat, what does it freaking look like to you? And Mom's like "yup, it's tilapia." And he goes "Fil-ah-pi-uh? Tri-caf-li-uh? My-ass-wi-ah?" I was sitting in the living room (with them in the kitchen) and I facepalmed so hard my mom actually heard it. No joke, she even asked me what that noise was. I don't think I've ever been more annoyed by any other person's idiocy.
Though this could just be from not being able to go anywhere in the house except my room without smelling cigarette/cigar/what the heck even is that? smoke because he always smokes on the porch but leaves the door open so he's like "lol you said I couldn't smoke in the house so I'm not but I accidentally left the door open so it doesn't make any freaking difference at all and I swear I have no idea what loophole you're talking about! :D" And as if the smell weren't enough, he always wears these freaking huge combat boots wherever he goes so you can hear him clomping all over creation. And these boots aren't like practical light hiking boots, no, they're the kind that scream "I'm srs business and I can go stomping all over the jungle/Antarctica/the freaking moon without falling apart cause I'm HARDCORE." I mean, where do you even get shoes like that without enlisting in the army? I swear, if I had a sixth sense, he would offend it.
But I could just be an oversensitive brat like my mother oh-so-kindly suggested the other day. I mean, who knows?
*ends rant* Apologies, needed to type that out.
In other news, Re:CoM is almost as freaking awesome as I thought it would be. The card system doesn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would. It's actually the fact that the game creators didn't seem to want to put any extra effort into making the Disney parts of the game original that annoys me. It kind of felt exactly like I was playing through KHI again, without Donald and Goofy cause those lame-ass 4 point cards that pop up every now and then going "Hi, use me!" and then get bumped off by shadow heartless unless you stock them with other cards are not cutting it. I want my team back! Also, the walking in Atlantica thing? Not. cool. I was so looking forward to Merman!Sora but no! No special abilities this time around, sucker! So not fair. Also, no flying in Neverland for the absolute lose. That was the coolest thing ever in the first game, but now we just get the glide ability (not even superglide ugh) so you still have to climb up stairs and use the weird bouncy jump things to get through the rooms instead of just zooming around screwing gravity.
But Larxene continues to be kickass freaking awesome, though I was highly amused when the voice actor had to cut off her sentences every now and then to follow the lip movements cause Japanese doesn't flow like English causing this sort of result: "I'm Larxene. Are you enjoying your................stay in Castle Oblivion?" "It'd serve you right.......................*raises hand dramatically*...................................if I smashed this piece of junk!" lol Larx, you been into Sora's stash of memory drugs again? XD She's also been the only fight that I've had to try multiple times, cause in case you missed it, she's kickass awesome. 'Nuff said.
Axel's voice actor is pretty good, not as badass as I wanted, but still pretty awesome. Vexen's is hilarious to me for some reason, but it works...I think. Marluxia's is the only one that I've been like "Yes. Yes, I do believe you are Number XI, the Graceful Assassin, Lord of Castle Oblivion, feel free to strike fear into my weak fangirl heart cause you are the real deal." Sora's is pretty good, he just scared me a couple times with the kid body but deep voice deal, though Haley generally does an awesome job of doing the aging thing, so no complaints there. Haven't heard any others yet, but will update later possibly.
