Why my college will pay for my lung tumor.
Mr Willis13 | 1:45 PM on 10.26.2007 11 comments


I am going to preface this with saying, that I was very happy to see the positive results of my last blog. After only one, I really feel that I am going to belong to this community. Yay, group hug and all of that, but lets face it. Picking on Yaris is somewhat of a safe subject. It's time to actually get down into some real issues.

Now, I am a reasonable man. I know when I am at fault and should keep my mouth shut, but this will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.

Like every 360 owner, well most of them, I have Halo 3. Which means that I have Halo 3 multiplayer with additional campaign mode. Don't get me wrong though, I loved the single player, and I am sure that it is a challenge to play on heroic or legendary, but honestly, I don't need anymore stress in my life then the minimal amount that I already have. I like to keep things simple.

Now to explain my live connection. I go to a public college that has a wireless connection. So instead of paying out the ass for that adapter, I choose to connect through ISC, basically making my laptop into a router. Cheap and quick.

Anyways, when I first started to play Halo 3 online, my connection was awesome. I had no lag problems, and everything was full of win. I skipped the next day of playing because I had....shock! college work. Well, the next time I started playing Halo online, I started to get some lag issues.....then I started to die with no one around me, and that dreded little scale next to my gamertag came up with one red block... Oh fucking joy..

Not only does it go into the red, but it goes into the red and the best times during a match. I could be up 4 kills in a ranked Lonewolf match, and that shit will rear it's big fucking head, cutting out 2 minutes of my play time, leaving me in last.

So when this happens I go outside and ease my stress with a cig....this process goes on everytime I play Halo, 3 to 4 times a week, 1 pack every day and a half. And between you and me, I am starting to feel it.

I think I am going to go forward with legal actions. As a matter of fact, I am going to act as my own lawyer. Who better to state his case then the affected person! I think I am going to quote the court case of the fat chicks that sued McDonalds. I mean it was absoultly McDonalds (edit) fault that these girls turned from obese to, well..obese, and it is my colleges fault, even though I started smoking way before this game came out.

Yeah.......fucking solid. I'll let them know,

This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.

Is it just me, or are more and more people making references to The Big Lebowski lately? Man, I love that movie.

I live in a crappy south american country and i have 200ms of lag in TF2 when all of the americans have 50ms at most.
But i have learned to live with it, good thing i dont like to play as a sniper...

Anyway, do something, talk to the IT stupid asshole of the campus. Make him work!

LUNG TUMOR? YOU STILL SMOKE?

"So when this happens I go outside and ease my stress with a cig...."

wtf. Get better can quit that shit. Video games and cigarettes may seem like stress relievers but they're quite the opposite. Good luck.

THAT MAKES TOTAL AND COMPLETE SENSE AND IS TOTALLY GREAT.

College IT sucks worse than Sony IT.

When I was in college gettingmy Masters, I was too busy getting laid and partying with friends to be writing blogs, and talking like " the win" and "thats ballin shit". GO get laid kid and get off the 360. Or is that what you do at city college.

That jimmy-rigged ass of a connection you have always yields interesting results at least. Always awesome to see your teammate running head first into a wall for a minute straight.

 about me

Whats goin' down D-toid. Names Mr Willis, or Jon Candy.....I'll answer to both. Turned into a gamer after the first pull of the light gun trigger in Duck Hunt. I'll never for get those days. I've had Nintendo, Sony, Sega, and now Microsoft. The only side in the console wars I take is the side that I have the wallet for.

I've grown fond of the FPS, but I love a good RPG now and again. I love killing zombies....ohh do I love killing zombies. And who doesn't love the music games now of days. Rock Band 2 ftw indeed!

Games I'm looking forward to
Fallout 3
Street Fighter 4
GoW 2
Fable 2
Left 4 Dead



Ooh, and without doubt my hero is Akuma


He will be a sweet Tatoo one of these days
