One Fiery Weekend

Because I love you guys, and because I haven't updated in a very long time, you're getting not just one, but TWO new blog posts. First the Pikmin post, and now this. Think of it like it's Christmas, only Santa is a blogger who kind of comes off like a homosexual on some occasions and a 14-year-old girl on most others.

Anyways, whereas my last post was a gaming post, this post is going to relate more upon my current situation. You see, I'm currently sitting in the airport waiting out a two hour delay for a flight I was supposed to be on right now. Unfortunately, the whole thing is rather boring on one hand, and rather frustrating on another. As it is not raining here, nor is it at my destination, I can't be sure why the delay is taking so long. I can only imagine the pilots are still sitting in the plane at the airport in whichever city it's coming from, in utter confusion.

The cockpit at this very moment

Certainly though, I must admit the situation can be worse. To be positive, it's nice to have wi-fi for my laptop, so that I can be on here posting at all. I'm just hoping that I do get out tonight. You see, for this upcoming weekend, I was hoping to spend the whole 3 days with my awesome friend. If I don't get up tonight, I'll probably end up losing a whole night tomorrow, and my friend, though crazy, is pretty awesome, so that would be quite disappointing.

It's also worth amusingly noting that my friend is slightly more flaming than the gentleman pictured.

Still, despite that joke in her expense, I'm certainly happy for her that she's come out, and I'm excited to see her, even more so considering I haven't seen her since before she did. Last time the two of us hung out, when we knew it would be a while until we saw each other again, we truly had a heart warming adventure with jello shots and Mario Party.

This confusing image has more humor to it after your 6th jello shot.

Anyways, as you can probably tell, I'm certainly looking forward to this weekend, which can't seem to start up soon enough. I can only imagine the insanity that will commence. While things could remain quiet on the blog while I'm up there, I also wouldn't rule out the possibility of me logging on one night and belligerently blogging a post containing little content, except possibly an image of my rolling around happily in a massive pile of Pokemon cards that I drunkenly purchased.

Just... like... this.

Pikmin is Murder

Pikmin is a pretty strange game. Some of you may be unfamiliar with it, and it's passed off innocently enough, but, in truth, it's certainly one of the most violent and traumatic games out there. For those unfamiliar with Pikmin, the story of it goes like this:

A small astronaut named Olimar lands on a distant planet. Upon exploring the planet, he comes upon strange plant like creatures then immediately enslaves them to do his bidding.

"You're all my bitches now."

As these things are small little plant creatures that you can just go and grow more and more of, you're not really supposed to feel anything for them as they die for you, but that's exactly it what makes the game so dark and heartless.

You're commanding an army of nameless loyal drones who are dying for a cause they don't even understand. The whole thing is incredibly tragic when you thing about it, kind of like the Crusades, but with less religion and more shrubbery.

"Go die in my name, which I never bothered to tell you."

There's something to respect about the blind unwavering loyalty of the pikmin, however. As you continue onward through the games, you fight more and more enormous threatening enemies, and still the pikmin remand trusting and brave... and why? For a man they just met, these small creatures will easily fight a motherfucking cyborg spider with a motherfucking machine gun, and not once stop and question why they're doing so.

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.

Fuck that. Those Pikmin can do whatever they want, but all I know is that if I were one of them, I'd reconsider my loyalty to Olimar long before it came to fighting that spider, even if I had to choke a bitch.
