So, I dyed the rest of my hair yesterday. I couldn’t get the red I wanted, because it’s getting really hard to find anything that resembles red in the store these days. That doesn’t really matter, though — it’s just…disappointingly browner than I expected, even though it’s supposed to be ‘true red’. Oh well.<\/p>\n
Now that I’ve got that out of the way….

\nI played Left4Dead with Gremlin yesterday — it’s got a 2-player co-op mode, and I love those. And, hey, I enjoyed this one, too, even though it’s an FPS, and I hate FPSs with a passion that makes the sun look like one of those cheap hand-cranked LED flashlights. I don’t know if it was the ‘yay, let’s kill zombies!’ or the fact that it wasn’t all that important [or difficult] to stay alive, or the, uh, piles and piles of pills [okay, not really] I took before even looking at the screen to prevent the godawful headache and nausea that usually accompany just glancing at an FPS, but it was fun. I might even do it again.<\/p>\n
…I still loathe the controls, though. You know what I mean. Those fucking first person shooter ‘walk with one button, look-with-the-eyes-permanently-affixed-to-your-gun with the other, and god help you if you get them mixed up’ shit with zero perhipheral vision. Because, y’know, we humans, we’ve got this fucked up perspective on reality that involves an awkwardly placed gun sprouting out of the middle of our field of vision where our nose would usually be, and we can’t see anything — ANYTHING<\/i> — unless it’s straight ahead.<\/p>\n
It’s a short game — I still wonder if it was really worth the price — but I guess I wouldn’t hate trying to play it a few more times, to see if maybe I can get the hang of this FPS thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
