Jan. 26th, 2012 12:01 amThe two phrases I hate the most when playing Saints Row 2? "Skater kids" and "satchel charges".
( I'm going to explain that even though none of you probably play Saints Row 2, just because I hate cryptic LJ posts )
I also explained it because it was pissing me off, and it's quite nice to be able to vent.
Also, the fact is that that's NOT the most annoying thing, because the most annoying thing is when you actually COMPLETE THE LEVEL, but the game SAYS YOU HAVEN'T. aoklsjflksdfnlksdnf. I heard the 'you completed the level!' music TWICE, and the second time the camera guy said his finishing off thing of 'we just have to get this to the editor', and it said I failed both times. But I am not good enough to reliably succeed more often, so I can't tell if the game is broken, or was a bit buggy that one time, or if I somehow did actually run out of time. Growl.
Anyway. My adventures with incredibly violent games aside, I'm sort of enjoying Saints Row 2 a bit less now. There was a type of side activity that I found quite simple to do, and other types I found less simple to do, and I've finished all of the first kind by now. And the main missions are getting a bit harder, it seems. And my style ranking keeps going down, I think, because I'm not buying and changing clothes enough. Changing your clothes regularly is for REAL LIFE, Saints Row 2. It shouldn't be a requirement on a computer game. Anyway, it's also annoying me a bit by having things like the above in it as well, so I might be cutting down on it a bit in the future. I'm sort of just feeling a bit tired in general as well. Although that might actually be hormones this week.
Adventures I have had this week included: my shoes literally pretty much falling apart on my feet yesterday in Leeds, after months of looking at them and thinking "it'll be fine", and having to go into a shoe shop and buy a new pair. Although I found a pair I quite like in my size for £8, so it wasn't all bad. And being unable to properly handle the Leeds and Wakefield bus switches in a new and exciting way, and having to walk unnecessarily back to a DIFFERENT bus station. On the other hand, the Leeds Craft and Design Centre has a bunch of new stock in, leading to me finding a new jewellery maker I like. As well as finally looking up an old jewellery maker I like.
The other thing I wanted to say was that it seems like a load of my stuff is running out this year. My bank card runs out in a few months, on a date that at one point seemed forever away. Now it is not forever away. And my young person's railcard runs out at the beginning of March. So I'll basically be giving up the saving I've had since I really started travelling very far on the trains. Part of me feels like I should be doing quite a lot of travelling before it runs out. Like, going to Scarborough for the day, or going to Nottingham to see Alys Power or something. ALL THE TRAVELLING. I do have a bit of money at the moment, but probably not enough to TRAVEL EVERYWHERE in the space of a month. Still. Hmm.
