Obligatory Christmas Oblogatory

Posted by Kamira on Dec. 25, 2011, 3:42 p.m.

One of the few days where I actually have something to blog about!

What I got:

Skullcandy headphones (These things are AMAZING)

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (From Kabob)

Batman: Arkham City (360)

Gears of War 3

Battery backup surge protector

3DS!

Gold plated mouthpiece for my euphonium. Real gold:3

and money and some other small things, woo.

So Christmas was pretty awesome this year.

I also recently bought some games:

Morrowind GOTY (Steam)

Oblivion GOTY Deluxe (Steam)

Skyrim (Steam)

Section 8

Army of Two: The 40th Day

Transformers: War for Cybertron

And I plan on buying Halo Anniversary

Plus I'm finally getting a new computer. I'll put up the specs once I have it put together and running. The one I'm using now is 7 years old with some small upgrades since. It struggles to run Minecraft on Short view distance, even with Optifine, so I'm limited on what games I can actually play on it. The processor's a 1.8GHZ SINGLE core >_>

Senior year of HS has been really cool so far. Besides Physics and Calculus, all of my classes are jokingly easy, so if I'm ever tired, I can get plenty of sleep during the school day. I can finally drive so my Social Life has levelled up quite a bit (Minecraft just opened itself, wtf?). The car I drive, which technically is my parents but is basically mine, is a 1993 Saturn without any air conditioning, so it sucks to drive in the summer. Plus it's kind of falling apart anyway.

I've decided I want to go to Baylor University and major in Mechanical Engineering. It was a tough choice since music is my passion, but since I play euphonium, I wouldn't be able to get a job at all… So I had to choose being able to have a job, instead of doing what I love. I'm still going to be in the marching band and stuff though. I want to start recording myself playing some video game/movie music on my euphonium to post here, so I can actually do something productive for once. Oh, and I managed to get a 34 on the ACT, so that covers up my not-so-great GPA. Taking that test really saved me.

Over the fall, I only played 2 games: TF2 and Minecraft. School, friends, and music kept me busy enough. Now that break's started, I'm playing my 360 some more. Feels great. If you don't have me added on Steam/Xbox live, add me; Kamira929. We should have some more 64D TF2 days :D

It's weird, Minecraft just isn't any fun to me at all. Maybe it's because the server's full blown creative, or just all the time I've put into it. I still have a bit of fun doing single player, but I doubt I'll be on the server much anymore.

I don't think I'll ever open up GM again. Programming just isn't my thing. I kinda wish it was.

Tried to condense this blog to avoid making a giant wall of text that gets tl;dr'd like I normally do. Also, Ross is a jerk.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I met Pounce4ever at a band competition a couple months ago. She's pretty cool.

the server has creative and survival, and multiple worlds to play on. just do /realm survival or /realm creative to switch game modes.

It's just everything that used to be survival is now creative, starting over again just seems tedius. And it sucks that the biomes all got switched.

JID 12 years, 3 months ago

well, once you get past that starting all over thing, it's pretty fun.

i know what you mean though, i hate starting from scratch.

I guess my new computer will make Minecraft more enjoyable.

Look at my badges, I now run the Minecraft server! With the help of… Everyone else.

JID 12 years, 3 months ago

it says that for everyone, and i said that a while ago, then a mod or someone deleted my comment, then started editing everyone elses' comment that mentioned it.

Skyrim is awesome on steam. Just remember to open up console and type fov 100

Just got this plus XBL gold…might even start using the 360 again, lol

not that I can use the controller terribly well when doing multiplayer..

if you get an add from a fellow called Rakaasac though, that's me.

mechanical engineering / marching band combo is neat

I take it there aren't many job positions open to euphonium players :(

Kamira 12 years, 3 months ago

My lesson teacher pretty much put it that in order to make a living off of playing euphonium, you gotta be legendary. Top 5 or so. So I guess after college might be the end of performing for me, unless I play at my church or something.
