About Me
Hey.

My name's Steve and I'm currently going to school at the University of Idaho.

I have a ballin' PC and PS3. You can reach me on steam or MSN @ steveb468@hotmail.com or on PSN @ manta89.

Currently Playing:
MGS4/MGO, Mass Effect, Soul Calibur IV, No More Heroes, Rock Band (I don't think this will stop anytime soon)

Favorite Series:
Final Fantasy, Fallout, Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid, Devil May Cry, and the entire Clover Studios/SEEDS/Platinum Games library.

With my PC, I just recently upgraded to a beast of a machine with a Pentium 4 Quad Core, 8800GT and more memory than you can shake a stick at (HEHE GET IT?). I'm usually playing some Team Fortress 2 or whatever the flavor of the day may be.

I'm quite proud of my little PlayStation gaming collection that I've started. I just recently found the site Goozex and used it to obtain massive amounts of PS1/2 titles that I've always wanted. Anyways, here's the list.

Wow. Words cannot describe what I'm feeling right now.

I'm at work and have my phone on silent, but it still vibrates when I get a text or voice mail. It vibrates, so I check and I have one new voicemail from number 0000000000. "Weird." I thought. So I check it and this women starts talking about how some people don't deserve what happened to them, and some people are sick and that the place smells of death. She states that people are probably going to have to die for them to achieve their goals. It sounds like she's talking about trying to find a cure or immunity for the Chimera infection. She then says that she can't do it alone, and that she needs your help. She finished with the quote "Please don't let me down. Go to Project Abraham, and help me."

FUCK. YES. for viral advertising. This is so awesome. I thought it was one of my friends playing a prank on me at first, but no. So. Friggin'. Cool.

[UPDATE] I just received another call. This time the same woman was going on about how the experiments did horrible things to their subjects, and how she can't get the images out of her head. She also says something about how she saw who was up for the next injection and "She couldn't..."

If these things keep showing up every week, I'm going to have to start buying new underwear.

I really thought it was my friend's using some computer program or something to prank call me. In fact, I actually completely forgot that I had given them my number when I signed up on their site a few months back.

The voice sounded a lot like Alex from HL2 to me, so I thought it was something along the line of some Episode 3 viral marketing. But then once she mentioned Project Abraham at the end I just went 0_0

Last week i seriously had a child call my phone asking for Daddy, then i eventually hear a woman scream "GET OFF THE PHONE!!" and hang up.

Seriously, creepiest shit ever. Maybe it's viral marketing for Imagine Babyz. Thanks Ubisoft.

Of course, the worrying thing is, how the hell did the marketing company GET OUR CELL PHONE NUMBERS.
