Life...continued
+I ordered the second season of Hetalia today. Deepdiscount has a sale, so I got both season 1 and 2 for about the same price as one season. Yay. I wasn't thinking of buying it until I saw those prices...Ridiculously cheap. DD actually ships for free internationally, and I was super tempted to ship the second boxset over to Korea. But considering the only thing that can play it is my computer, I'd be better off just downloading fansubs until I go home and can watch my legit DVDs.
+ My TV still isn't fixed. My boss game me a cord for it, but all it does is hook it up to local TV. THAT'S NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM, PEOPLE. I don't care to see Korean TV; I just want my screen to not be warped. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it's something that can be solved without just dumping the TV and getting a new one or if the TV can be salvaged. My coworkers keep trying to convince me just to get a 300 flat screen and sell it when I leave, but I think if I can't get it to work I'll just have to live off of handhelds for the rest of the year and maybe get a 3DS once some games come out that I want on it. It really bothers me because I got this apartment exclusively for the reason that I knew it had a TV, and now not only does the TV work, but my rent is 60 bucks higher than my previous apartment and my wages are now 27 instead of 28. At least I am working 27 hours a week though... >_<
+ Speaking of new systems...the Wii U. Most retarded name ever, but the system itself has some potential to be interesting. High Def Zelda looks really cool, and I like the idea of having an extra TV to store video information. It cuts down a lot on what must be shown on the TV. Perhaps I should elaborate for people who don't know about this. The Wii U looks pretty much like a Wii with round corners, but in its controller there is a TV screen. This TV screen can work alongside your TV, perhaps showing you your item inventory and life points, or you can play the game on the controller if you can't use the TV. That's handy if you only have one TV and several people in the house that you need to share it with.
And Zelda HD is gorgeous.
To make matters better (or worse?) Skyward Sword isn't being ported to the Wii U. That means I'll not only get to play it on my Wii, the Wii U will also have a proper Zelda game on its system.
I'm still a little meh about Skyward Sword. I like the idea of living in the sky and whatnot, I just really don't care for the graphics. I'm sure they'll grown on me, but at this point and time I still don't really like them. Still getting the game though.
+ I'm going to Everland (maybe?) this weekend. I invited a bunch of people, but so far I haven't gotten any replies back about going. LAME. At this point I'd rather just go to Yongsan and binge on videogames then stop at Book-Off and look for more books/CDs. I did just get paid, after all. >_< I'm really thinking of hacking my Wii to play all the nice exclusives on it, and since I couldn't get it to work last time I'm thinking of just taking it down to Yongsan and having them look at it. I want to get my PS2 hacked too anyway. At the moment, I'm kind of depressed about being back in Korea, but I know this is the right place for me, at least for now. I wasn't any less depressed back in the States, and at least here I'm making money to support myself.
I just feel so...unnecessary. Like nothing would change if I were gone. Other than my few close friends, no one here or at home really cares about me. The only time they even talk to me is when they need me for something. But when I need them, they fall short. It's just depressing. And it's no different here, except in this environment I don't have my friends to make me feel better, so it's a little harder to cope with. That's partially why I just stopped hanging out with people. The more I hang out with them the lonelier I feel. It just works better for me to have a few friends who actually care about me rather than a huge lot who only call me when it's convenient for them, you know? Anyway, that's the stance I've been taking lately, as depressing as it may seem. XD
