About Me


I'm a woman who loves her video games. I'm also pretty much a nerd for all that is nerdy: MST3K/Riff Trax, Star Wars, Anime/Manga, Kevin Smith, X-men Comics, and of course all things video games. Someday, I would look to get paid to write for and/or about video games. I'm awesome, so it'll will probably happen.

I have a strong hatred for the Atlantic Ocean.



Yoshi BBFs forever: Me, Suff0cat, Wardrox, and ScottyG.

Preferred games are RPGs and puzzle games. I like the occasional FPS (Timesplitters: FuturePerfect being my favorite) and some racing (Burnout Reveeeeenge).

Current Games:
Burnout Paradise
Left 4 Dead
Space Invaders Extreme
Harvest Moon Island of Happiness
Chrono Trigger DS



My Project 365

Notable C-Blogs:
The Start of the Affair: Harvest Moon

I also write a bit for Negative Gamer.

Dolphin Waterslide: This One's for Chad (NVGR)
nintendoll | 4:20 PM on 06.21.2008 20 comments


For my 21st birthday, my mom got me tickets to go to Orlando and hang out with my sister (who lives here). My sister in turn got me tickets to Sealand's newest water park, Aquatica.

Now I was excited already about going to a water park since I haven't been to one in maybe 5+ years. But this park as possibly the best thing ever created: the Dolphin Water slide.



(Note: Artist Rendering)

This waterslide, while of course being amazingly fun on it's own, has a length of the slide that is made of clear plastic and RUNS THROUGH THE DOLPHIN TANK. I went on this slide it it was by far one of the coolest things at the park.



Also, the lazy river ride goes under a bridge which has a window where you can see into the dolphin tank. It is seriously awesome. The dolphins (though they look like little killer whales) are called Commerson's dolphins, and are seriously fucking adorable.

There are other awesome rides at the theme park like the raging river, which is like a lazy river only 98374 times faster. It is unbelievably hard to try walking against the current, and they give you floaty vests instead of inner tubes.

But the point is, Dolphin Plunge water slide = awesome.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

OH MY GOSH.

That is actually one of the greatest things I've ever heard of. I've been to Orlando twice but never visited Sealand. Must head back there soon!

Fun fact: Killer whales are actually dolphins!

I am so jealous that this slide is not near me.

It was rad. I mean you're only in the dolphin tank for like two seconds but I totally saw the dolphins. I even screamed "WOO DOLPHINS!" before I got to the end of the slide and nearly drowned because you shouldn't scream at the end of a water slide.

I don’t like water, but water parks are cool...and now I want to go here!

Er...I should qualify that statement. When I say “I don’t like water,” I mean that I don’t like being in water (i.e., swimming), and I don’t enjoy being wet in general (unless I’m taking a shower, washing hands, etc.). Yeah.

Hey we need something like that over here too! Rhodes has some awesome water park but this is definitely unheard of!

I want to be there when Chad goes because I'm so curious what Pokemon he'll evolve into due to this experience.

@AEROX,
To add to that fun fact, not only are killer whales dolphins, but they're the only dolphins that will hunt and eat other dolphins!
