Green Teacher Needs Cash Badly!
Okay, so our school is paying us over a week late. Because the headmaster is under some sort of tax fraud investigation. This is bad as we sent most of our money home and all our free cash has gone. It's doubly bad as payday usually comes about the same time as bills day. We have a few unpaid bills sat on the side. Even if I could phone them up and explain what's going on, from my dealings with NPower, I seriously doubt they'd care. Of course, if the electric is cut off, it'd be a mercy killing as we're more likely to die quicker from freezing to death, than we are from starvation. We've got a big bag of rice and some rapidly decaying oranges. I'm going to spend the rest of this week eating like a fucking POW.
My mood isn't helped by having a really bad cold. The student I got it from, was one of those fat, ugly, repulsive kids, you know the ones who don't even try to be liked and are spiteful towards the world for making them fat, ugly and repulsive. She just sat there in class, coughing with her mouth wide open. I could feel the poison, slowly infecting me. I ran home to get some cash (this was last week, when we had some, that's right, the bitch ruined my weekend too!), before sprinting to the shop to buy juice and oranges. I felt like I was playing Resident Evil and I decided the fully loaded shotgun was a better bet than the blue herb. Always a mistake.
When payday finally does roll around, I know things will start looking up, but, right now, it seems like a long way away.
On a more positive note, I've been enjoying the King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga. I've played through '94 (which is not as bad as I remember) and '96, skipping '95 as I know it so well. '94 plays well and is a lot of fun, but '96 suffers really badly from slow loading. Like, up to 20 seconds. For a PSP, that's just lazy. I suppose after the Metal Slug Collection, I should've expected something similar though. You feel it less in Metal Slug as the level loads, then you can play it. With KoF, the bout loads, then the next bout loads, then the next bout loads.... Also, '96 reminds me of that period KoF went through when a lot of the moves were simplified and the handling was changed to more closely resemble Street Fighter Alpha, aprox. '96 - '99. It gets smaller until it's completely gone by '00, but it is there. I guess that's why, playing '95 in '95, I had so much trouble with it and didn't really warm to the series at the time. Now, I guess I like it more than Street Fighter. It really tries new things each year, in a way SF never really has. Alpha 2 and III 3rd Strike remain solid favorites, but give me KoF '02 most days.
Whatever game I'm playing, right now, I feel like I'm stuck as player 2....
