PS3
I recently purchased God of War I and II from eBay. As you can read from the description, the guy said it was ‘opened, never used’. When it came in my mailbox the other day, both discs were scratched.
My PS3 was bricked a week ago, and I sent it back through UPS last Saturday. For some reason, UPS has delayed shipping it till tomorrow. I won’t be able to test the discs in another two weeks, when I get a replacement PS3.
I WANT MY PS3 NAO PLZ.
OR IS THERE A PS2 IN THE BUILDING?
PS3 Warranty
I was reading the fine print off the warranty for the PS3 today when this tickled me:
THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY IF THIS PRODUCT… (D) IS DAMAGED BY ACTS OF GOD, MISUSE, ABUSE, NEGLIGENCE, ACCIDENT, WEAR AND TEAR, UNREASONABLE USE, OR BY OTHER CAUSES UNRELATED TO DEFECTIVE MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP
God has a vendetta against PS3s! Sony knows it!
Default Mode Still Dysfunctional.
I have been positively miserable over the past two weeks. I don’t know what triggered this, but I am seriously desperate to get out of this slump soon.
Today was an incredibly bad day. I forgot to print out a paper due today, so I had to rush home, upload the paper to my account, rush back to school, print it out and then go for class, all within a half hour gap. I skipped my 7.30 math class because I was busy crying until 3am last night for no apparent reason.
I slept through three full classes today. I am either that tired, or that depressed that I can’t be bothered. And as usual, I want to go home.
My PS3 got bricked about 5 minutes ago. I don’t know if it’s overheated or what (have you seen the number of vents located on that thing?) because I placed it too near to the TV and it blocked one of the air vents or whatever. When I start it up it gives me garbage on the TV. I’m giving it another half hour before I ask for an exchange from the guy.
I’m feeling extremely anxious and depressed. I think partially because it’s only a day left and the bids on my Sony MiniDV handycam isn’t as high as I’d like it to be. I was hoping that selling the handycam might offset the cost of the PS3 completely. I’ve made a tidy profit selling off my Wacom 4×6 (my cousins apparently had loads of unused Wacoms sitting around the house, so they gave one to me) and I was hoping that the Wacom would pay for my future PS3 games. I seriously don’t want to make a $350 loss on my handycam. I’d rather keep it myself.
I have two motherfucking long papers to write, and a Psychology midterm coming up on Thursday. The week after that would be yet another Psych midterm and another one after that. Christ. I suppose it’s really my fault for stocking up on so many courses, but even if I dropped Film Studies I’d still have no time. I’ve spent the least time on Film Studies - it’s the Psych courses that are killing me.
I’ve learned my lesson and reverted back to 20 credit hours. Taking the Holocaust, Statistics, Abnormal Psych and Language Endangerment/Death. I’ve also made a point to check ratemyprofessors.com to get more interesting teachers this time.

So I caved in and bought a 60GB Playstation 3. I originally wanted to wait until the holiday period and grab the 40GB version (which was $100 cheaper), but was horrified to find there was no backward compatibility for that version. I went browsing on eBay and found a used PS3 at $399 (original price was $499), so I paid for it. I’ll be getting it tomorrow, but I have no games or blu-ray discs to play it on.
I’ve grabbed Final Fantasy X and X-2 at an insanely cheap combined price of $15, so that should be arriving in the next couple of days. That should keep me entertained for some time, and I’ll probably grab FFXII after that. Yes, I am an FF whore. Reflecting on my gaming history, I’ve only liked FF games and it actually has good replay value for me, unlike the other games.
And here’s my wishlist. Hint hint clue clue. Holidays are coming!
Whee!
As most of you know, I RP Calypso on raisethecolors. I don’t know how it popped into my head, but I visualized a scene that - in my mind - was just so incredibly inspiring and beautiful. So I wrote it down. And then finding that it didn’t describe enough and that image was still stuck in my head, I went to sketch it out. It’s still rough, and I’ll definitely add details and the like, but the current pose is exactly how I imagined it to be. And it’s 1 am, and I wanna sleep.
Plus, I needed to test out my new Wacom Intuos 3 anyway. 
A few observations:
1. I suck at color (LAURAAAAA ;____;)
2. I still can’t get hair, despite 2 years of attempting to paint it. Calypso’s hair is tied up most of the time, so I haven’t gotten any proper reference.
I have a new TV.
It’s 14 inches, smaller than my computer screen. I kept insisting I didn’t need a TV, and looking at it for over 3 hours into my possession, I still don’t need a TV.
But damned if it isn’t exciting.
