Yay, work, yay

Well, I'm at work. Definitely an improvement from yesterday. My back still hurts and is a bit stiff, but it was crippling this morning when I got out of bed. I suspect that by tomorrow it will be completely fine. Especially since I'll be sitting down all day. Heh.

I was playing The Sims last night. Ahhh. I've missed my Sims. Used SimWardrobe and SimMetamorphoser to change some things. Looks like I have some more townies to go through and edit though. Had one lady with a great head on this skinny old lady body. Blech. And I found out that one of the Denise's heads from 3dSister for kids has the same mesh number as a new Maxis head for kids. *sigh* So I renamed it and fixed the poor kid who was afflicted with it.

Gave Melissa Roomies some plastic surgery. She's now a svelte young woman. And Betty and Bob Newbie got some makeovers too. Problematic, though, because now I can't buy any different swimsuits for Bob. Going to have to figure out what was wrong with the swimsuit file I gave him, or change him again. I think I'll just change him. Making him fit is one thing, but making him uberbuff is just bad. At least without changing his head.

That reminds me, one of the N99ers did an AWESOME makeover of Betty with long hair... Gonna have to see if it's on the fashion center or if I can remember what site she was at...

I took my remodeled homes I had done for The Newbies, Michael Bachelor, The Goths, The Pleasants, and The Roomies and put them back in my game. Ahh. Much better. I think I may re-redo the Goth home though. I'm not happy with it. I want it to be, well, more goth. Of course, I want THEM to be more Goth too...

I've decided to make a few families. Going to actually move a family into that default mansion and see what I can do with it. Going to move another family into the other large lot and make a garden-home on it. (Home will be on the second story, Massive Garden area beneath it) I'm going to make the Newlywed family and put them accross from Michael Bachelor's pad. Going to make a Partner for Michael. Can't decide if he's going to have a boyfriend or a wife, though. Actually, kinda want to give him a new Head too... I'm not fond of his fresh-outta-boot-camp look.

This reminds me, I need to go get me a teleporter and the sprinkler system. No way in heck I'm using a gardner for the garden home.

wtf?

I have been here since 8 am. I have had a grand total of 5 phone calls. One was a wrong number, one was for another tech.

Can I like start throwing things yet??

SSX Tricky

So I figure I'll ramble about SSX Tricky since I have nothing else to do at the moment.

We bought a new memory card for our Gamecube since the one we had was running out of space. I decided to start a fresh game of SSX Tricky on it so that I could actually build up all the characters myself. Started with Elise (of course) and have already unlocked all the characters. She is in Trick Chapter 4 (because I'm too lazy to fight with it to finish it, even though I do sorta want the Uber Board). She just finished the Race portion of Aloha Ice Jam and is trying to finish the Showoff portion now. I've been doing Race - Showoff since the start. Heh, on her first new board I got nearly 300,000 points in Garibaldi's showoff. I'm way too good at that course. :-p My Tokyo showoff score was beyond insane. It's all about getting that trick meter full and hitting every air launcher and doing 2 uber tricks in a row off of each one. Trust me, you'll get more points than you know what to do with.

One interesting side-effect of doing this was discovering that her Ubertricks changed when she wasn't on her BX boards. o_O I hadn't realised that. Was doing a race on her Alpine board and was shocked at the tricks she did. They kinda sucked though. Oh well. Gonna try out a freestyle board and see how that goes. But, well, her BX tricks are far superior, and her unique trick can only be done on it, so I prolly will just fool around to see.

Once I finish all her races and showoffs, I'm going to finish her Trick Book and move on. Think I'll play around with Eddie next. If I get real bored I'll probably go through each character and complete their first 3 Trick Book chapters just to get them some clothing options. Hehe. Not really looking forward to Marisol and Brody, though, because I HATE ALPINE BOARDS. It's so annoying when they land backwards and rotate and you lose turn control for the 2 seconds it takes for them to turn around.

I know I'll have fun with Kaori. I played her before. It's really amusing to have her get into fights with people and listen to her jabber at them in Japanese.

I can't wait to see what Pipedream looks like. If it's better than Tokyo, I'll be in heaven. Untracked is such a huge disappointment. It looks ok, but it's... BORING. I mean, you can't even do any real races on it.

I sorta wanna pick up a copy of the original SSX just to see what it's like. From what I understand, gameplay is more or less identical, but there are no uber tricks and some different characters.

OH! Reminds me. One time with Elise I did a trick and it was called... "?" That was it. No name, no voice announcement, just a big ol "?" Maybe I over-rotated so much that the game didn't know what was going on...

ahh, dinner

off to watch tv or something

wild...

I am finding that I'm not that fond of Pepperoni anymore... who'd a thunk it?
