Take that, No Mercy!

H and I beat the first campaign of Left 4 Dead on Easy mode. That may not seem like much of an accomplishment for all you gamers out there. But for me, it's pretty goddamn amazing. We came up with a strategy where I avoid The Tank by standing in a hallway and just blasting zombies from two sides. It worked pretty well. I managed to jump onto the helicopter on my first try. Whooooo!!

We're taking a break now because my buddy Steve is bringing us a pizza. We did manage to finish the first level of the second campaign: Death Toll. In a few weeks, I hope to be ready to play on Normal mode. I need to practice up, because my brother, Mark is getting Left 4 Dead for Christmas. We can play together on Xbox live so long as my suckiness is not too detrimental. ;-]

For H's birthday I got him a Terminator T-shirt, an Onion book and a copy of The Happening (which I think we are the only 2 people in the world who loved that movie). He was very pleased with all of his gifts. His mom and sis sent him some cool stuff too. We now have the 20th anniversary edition of TRON.

Sent out for Moo Goo Gai Pan tonight. Ever get a fortune cookie that you'd swear was meant for someone else? Mine said You are a bundle of energy, always on the go. No dice. Anyway, I had Moo Goo Gai Pan and crab rangoon. Man, it was tasty. I love chinese food though I rarely send out for it. MSG and all that...

Still trying to decide between buying Lips and Scene It! for the New Years Eve party. I can only afford one, of course, because I'm not a millionaire. Any votes? You can vote even if you don't plan to attend, I love to have every viewpoint!

I'm planning to get the game for/after christmas so maybe we can do some 4 player l4d. :)

I liked that movie. Not loved, but I enjoyed it and would watch again.

I enjoyed "The Happening." It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good. Also, what kind of pizza did you have?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Sweet!

I'll see you on there!

That's cool, so many people really hated it.

Steve brought us a BBQ chicken pie from Cottage Inn.

If you are buying one of those games, I would recommend Scene It for it's replayability.

Mmm, Cottage Inn!!

Where do you get your Chinese food from? I am sick of the Chinese restaurant we usually use.

I guess I can see that point. I feel similarly about the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory movie. Granpa Joe is such a dick it ruins much of the movie for me.

But I love It's a Wonderful Life. I think it's about realizing that boyhood dreams are childish and selfish compared to real life responsibilities, like having a wife and kids.

That's likely what I'll end up doing. I think more people will also have fun playing it.

H won't play either one, so that is not an issue.
I'd like to have them both eventually, but they are so damn expensive.

Actually, upon the suggestion of your husband many moons ago, we order from King Shing.
