Zombie Monkey…Nail Art…? =S

I don’t think it’s much of a secret that I’m not the most ‘girly’ of girls. However! I do adore painting my nails, and wearing stupid amounts of black eyeliner.

So while googling images of zombie monkeys, I somehow ended up here! And woah! I need to learn how to do my nails like this! Seriously, how cool do they look!? Awesome. 

So yea, I decided to have a little look around the ‘Gnarly Gnails‘ blog, and yea…I’m now gonna go on a nail polish binge. I love nail art ^_^ I’m not very good at decorating my nails, save for just painting them odd colours. But if I could do any of the things featured on that blog, I so would. I also probably charge others to do theirs too lol

This is a pretty weird entry for my blog – as I usually just ramble about games or music or Supernatural. But meh. My blog is pretty much just for everything now. Including nail polish! Seriously though, I want zombie monkey nails.

Putting the lol back in to Halol!

I refer to Halo as Halol. Why? Because Halo is hilarious. And because I like how it sounds. Go on, say it ‘Halol…’ it just sounds and feels great on the tongue.

I’ve been playing Halo Reach…pretty much all day. Halo used to be pretty much the only multiplayer game, that I ever played, way back when I had a 20GB HDD – and thought it would last me forever. I was never good at it. I would average between 3-7 kills, and 10-30 deaths…per match. Seriously, I sucked.

I’m not the best Halo player, far from it in fact. But…I have improved greatly, since my early Halo 2/3 days. And I don’t think it’s a case of ‘developing’ skills, I think it’s a case of I’ve stopped taking gaming so seriously.

I think I’ve mentioned here before how I used to feel like I had to do well at games, due to my gender. I do not think female games are special, at all – but I did feel like I had to do well, due to being ‘just a girl’. And I have to say, that is one phrase I truly detest. I’m not ‘just a girl’, no female is ‘just a girl/woman’. No matter who we are or what we do, we are awesome.

I think having gotten over the whole ‘I need to be better, due to my gender disadvantage’, that I have improved as a gamer, overall. I can now average between 15-40 kills, and between 3-11 deaths per game. Purely based on my mindset of not giving a damn. I used to be very courteous with regards to multiplayer games, I wouldn’t go for the vehicles - I’d let players better than myself use them instead, same with weapons. Now? I go for the Spartan Laser every damn time, and I also go for the Ghost or Revnant (I freaking love the Revnant) all the time. Why? Because gaming isn’t about being courteous, gaming is about enjoying the game.

Now don’t get me wrong with the ‘gaming isn’t about being courteous’ statement. I mean that in the sense of, is anybody else gonna pass up the opportunity of a good weapon or vehicle for me? It’s highly unlikely. I do believe in being courteous in the sense of, show some damn respect. Don’t send someone abusive messages, just because they haven’t played fantastically, or because they have played well, and you’re just a sore loser.

What I’m trying to say is…it’s a game, a game is supposed to be fun. Gaming, for me, isn’t supposed to be taken seriously – it’s about having fun, with your friends or solo. Sure, it’s great to win, but it’s not the be all and end all. If you’re enjoying yourself, then you’re doing it right.

How Promising is Prometheus…? *Spoiler Alert*

Warning! Public Service Announcement! Spoiler Alert! – DO NOT read this post, if you have not seen the film, ‘Prometheus’, or plan on seeing it. 

Seriously, last chance to turn back now. 

——————————————————————————————–

Right. So I went to see the movie, Prometheus tonight. And, I’m not gonna pull any punches here, I didn’t enjoy it. Not one bit =/ first of all, I genuinely have no clue what the Hell was going on, most of the time. The characters were uninteresting, and…sort of wooden. I appreciate Michael Fassbender appearing that way, due to his…robotness. 

The film just left me with loads of unanswered questions. Such as: what ‘team’ was Michael Fassbender’s character on? I have no clue what the point of his character was. He pretty much killed one crew member, after letting said crew member impregnate his girlfriend, with an alien. Then he’s being all weird, and downright creepy towards the impregnated woman…then he’s trying to help her. Then there’s the old dude, who was presumed dead, but was in fact just hiding out on the ship…I understand that he wanted to not die, perhaps be made younger again, but that part of the story just seemed really…ill thought out. It seemed like it was a case of, ‘we’ve got this actor spare…erm…I know. Let’s doll him up as an old bloke, it’ll work a dream!’ I just don’t get it =/ 

The “alien caesarian” scene…yea, I didn’t enjoy that either. It was just stomach turning. I pretty much just looked away during that scene, as I really hate watching scenes of a medial/surgical nature. 

Then there’s the tall, extremely pale people…and the whole ‘they’re our makers, blah blah blah’, then said ‘maker’ turns on them, and murders pretty much the crew. Well, what’s left of the crew anyway. 

Oh yea. The guy that did the impregnating – what exactly was the point of Fassbender…poisoning his drink? He went all crazy, undead sort of person…and didn’t seem to be dying, then suddenly sort of just goes ‘meh, bored now. *dies*’. What was the point in that? 

It almost seemed like a second film, in a trilogy, as opposed to a ‘prequel’. I just felt like I was missing an important part of the plot throughout it. I mean, there were some lovely special effects, but overall…pretty effects, can’t cover up all the plot holes, and sheer randomness of the film. As opposed to answering questions people had from the Alien films, it’s just created for questions. The giant face hugger was sort of cool…but not cool enough to make up for a most unimpressive fiilm.

I dunno. Maybe I’m just too stupid to ‘get’ it? Definite possibility. =S

I’m sorry to be so negative about it, but yea. It’s my opinion. If you enjoyed it, please feel free to comment, and maybe point out things that I missed? I’m serious when I say, I was pretty much lost the entire way through the film. =/

Okay, how have I not seen this before!? The person who made this, is bloody amazing xD

Conventionally Speaking…

So from the 18-20th of May 2012, I attended my very first Supernatural convention, aka A8: Weekend at Bobby’s 2. And yea…the only way to describe my experience is by using 2 words – ‘mind blowing’. It was amazing.

I’ve been a massive Supernatural fan since way back in 2005, when it would air on a Sunday night at 9pm…and I’d just sit glued to the TV. Since then, the Winchesters have become really rather popular. So much so, that the Supernatural Fandom, has literally become the ‘Supernatural Family’. And the amazing thing is…we really are like family.

I attended the convention alone, and at first, I was really shy…and then I started on the free beers. Let’s just say, I was in a lovely state over the weekend. I’m extremely happy to say that I made a few new friends, one of which is amazing – she’s completely insane, and am absolutely amazing artist.

The point of this post is to say that, I love being a member of the ‘SPNFamily’. I love that there’s a whole bunch of us, who don’t even know each other, but will happily smile, and include one another. This is why I adore ‘our’ fandom, so much. We’re each different, but all united in our love/obsession with the Winchesters, and company.

I’m happy to say that I am attending A9: Hammer of the Gods, and I literally cannot wait.

Also…how surreal is it, to watch Supernatural now, and be able to think ‘I hugged him…’/'I gave him a monkey!’ – long story lol.

It really was one of the best experiences…of my life, really. I never realised just how lovely people can be, to complete strangers. Also – how beautiful are the cast & crew? Not just physically, but as people. They’re so down to earth, so…real. Yea…if possible, I love Supernatural even more now.

So finally, thank you to the amazing people that make Supernatural, and to our amazing fandom, and of course to the ever patient/helpful RogueEvent staff!
