Murphy's law came true today

Rant time!

I don't know who writes the course descriptions in the university general catalog. It's probably some evil dude. like that red devil/lobster/demon-in-high heels from powderpuff girls (...not that I watch powderpuff girls...)

These misleading course descriptions make classes sound so interesting and great yet believable, but EVERY time, it is an utter disappointment. UTTER disappointment.

Last year, I took a computer gaming studies class hoping to maybe have fun for once playing video games for an easy A. Boy was I wrong. The class was the most boring, pointless, and painful class ever. It was like going to the dentist - I hated it. We had incredibly complex and impractical readings and my TA was some napoleon dynamite scrub who never read any of the readings and talked out of his butt. I would rather scratch my nads with poison ivy. I would rather have my dexterity-deficient mom mine the ear wax from my ear with a bamboo toothpick. I would rather watch Mall Cop five times in a row. UNFORGIVABLE!

We had to play final fantasy 11 for a class assignment and at first it's like "whoa, that sounds cool. I dont really like Dungeons and Dragons/ fantasy RPG's, but They made final fantasy 7,8,9,10, right? How bad could it be? this game is going to be sick. I cannot wait to get home to play this game. I cant believe I'm going to be graded for playing games. life is awesome." - eengh! - WRONG. This is the worst game ever. I would rather lick a hairy mushroom. What a terrible game this was. The freakin video game character cant even run at an acceptable rate. After patiently waiting for 5 hours to install the game and make my username (cutelilladybug), I found myself in this huge monster-infested desert with no clue as how to get a weapon or something. Seriously, it was like taking a puppy straight from the womb, covering it in chum, and throwing it into a tank full of hungry sharks. It took me over 30 minutes to get from one area to another. But when you're a heroic level 1 warrior running like Chris Farley, who can blame you? To get an A on the the game assignment, you have to achieve certain goals and give a log of it to the professor. wow. He might as well have asked the class to run a 4-minute mile. the only certain thing about achieving the goals was that they were certainly impossible. How the freak are you supposed to kill 10 monsters - who are just as strong as you are by the way - all by yourself? ridiculous! The only way I could survive was to be a coward and hit the monster once while running away as it got PO'ed and chased me - AND THEY ARE RELENTLESS. If you hit-and-run long enough, eventually, you can kill it, but c'mon, why does killing a little desert rabbit take forever? How the hell does that make sense anyway? A killer desert rabbit?! C'MON! My character is a giant ogre WITH A SWORD! And you're going to tell my virtual loved-ones that a desert rabbit is responsible for my death?! UNFORGIVABLE!

If you cant run away from the monsters by yourself (which is more often that not) you have to fight them by yourself. That means your friends who want to heal you and beat the crap out of the little mofo can do nothing but watch you die a slow and pitiful death at the hands of a desert rabbit. The game designers obviously know nothing about da hood. In da hood, yo bruddaz back you up all day, 'ey-day! but I guess that's no surprise considering you are a virtual elf/ogre/warrior-babe who cant even defend yourself from a infant rodents. what a joke. I dont believe in violence, but someone needs to keep it real and act a foo on the dipsticks who made this terrible game!

phew.

so I was going to rant about how I didnt get to finish my midterm today for an elective class that sounded interesting from the catalog but turned out to be a complete disappointment, but I think that's enough for today. oh yeah, and I didnt do well on a midterm I got back today from last week. and I saw a completely naked frontal area of a 30-something year old asian dude in the men's locker room today at the gym. blegh.Truly, a Murphy's Law day.

Somebody show some love!
