07:11 pm - Stuff?
All right, based on the suggestions made before, I'm going to do something.
Not just anything, though.
I'm going to tell you all how best to take over the world! Isn't that great?!
Ok, so I'm going to set up some good ideas in bullet format. Or maybe number format. Some sort of format is probably going to be used.
1. Never give your lackies too much power. One can assume at the point you're ready to take over the world, you have some sort of trump card, or super-weapon to do so. Well, make sure you are the only one who has any control over it, and if you're somehow killed by someone, you should make it blow up the world or something just to make sure no one's going to be satisfied with you losing. Wait, that should be a separate number. Ah well.
3. Now, it can be assumed everyone has a weakness. Who do you know that has no weakness whatsoever? But the trick is to display it. Now, you may be thinking, 'But crazy person, why would you ever do such a thing? I for one would never want to have anyone know my one shortcoming.' Well, you know a lot of people will want to know your weakness if you're in position to take control over the entire planet. So give it to them. But the trick is, lie. That way you can buy yourself some time while your opponents waste their resources making some kind of weapon that functions entirely on your fake weakness. And then laugh while you're at it!
4. Speaking of which, many people think of a good evil laugh as extraneous at best in your career as evil megalomaniac. Well, I say not so. A good maniacal laugh can both instill morale in your evil henchman, fill your enemies with fear, and give those stomach muscles a good exercise. Just start the laugh deep in your throat, and burst out in hateful laughter! It may seem simple to beginners, but trust me, you could get a PhD in Evil Laughing.
5. You should always have a large staff of scientists and/or generally competent workers in your evil task force. While many of the more intelligent members of the population may seem appalled by your unethical and downright atrocious military and scientific conquests, you should always make a job in your legions seem to be a very good one. Pamper your employees, and make them not mind they their brain/physical power is being used to slaughter countless of their fellow humans and the fact that they can never leave your ranks alive.
OK! That's all for now. Call on me later if you want some more tips n' tricks. And sorry to the one who requested that I post my crazy and bizarre dream from yore, but I just can't seem to remember it.

I'm... ALIVE?!
Amazing.
Well, I guess you're all wondering why I haven't updated my livejournal in so long. No, it's not because I died temporarily. The culprit is laziness. And me having a terrible memory. So I'm calling on you people. Tell me something witty or stupid to post, I don't know. I'll make it a contest. And the only reward is a pat on the back.
So hop to it.

Thought I'd get an official cyborg code name. You know, er, just in case.
Reminds me of that robot in that old superman comic that chased Jimmy Olsen and had the very informative words 'this robot is trained to smash your camera' printed on it's chest.

All right, since I haven't updated since april, I figure I should do something here. So here, a stupid little game or something.
"Rules: Pick seven songs that you're into right now, list them. Pick seven friends who have to repeat this process, list them."
OK...
1. No,
2. I
3. Really
4. Don't
5. Feel
6. Like
7. It.
And if you're reading this you're a friend anyway, so I'll just force you to do it.
HA!

02:58 pm - Updation time...
Seeing as I finally got around to beating Final Fantasy 6, it's time once again for...
Doc X's Video Game Corner, Um, I Guess! Wh00t!
See, this here video game is even older than the one I last reviewed- Starcraft- and you probably will need to buy it with Final Fantasy V if you have a playstation, because Final Fantasy Anthologies has them both in a bundle for a very reasonable price. I mean, unless you have an SNES and you're willing to scour Ebay for it. I mean, come on. It came out in 1994. Anyway... if you don't want to listen to the rest of the review, then I'll sum it up for you: This has to be my favorite Final Fantasy to date. While the graphics may be lacking compared to that of it's next-generation brethren, they're not hard on the eyes- unlike the sugar cube character models in FFVII-, and the monsters in it are certainly more interesting-looking than those of some of the older ones. The plot is certainly a lot better and a lot less dried out than the other ones that came out for the playstation (FFX is the exception, but we expected more out of Final Fantasy after FF's VII through IX. Those were good, but some parts were... Lacking some things. Like an interesting story in VIII. Or navigatable terrain in FFVII. Or non-ridiculousness in FFIX. You get the picture.). It's engaging. It's suprising. People actually die, and they do so a lot later on. The gameplay is better than what you would expect from other Final Fantasies. Your characters each have unique abilities, unlike later ones where the only difference in them is character models. It can be pretty challenging, considering that you'll eventually need to maintain 14 different characters at once and keep their levels up so that they aren't pummeled severely by bosses and waves of monsters. This is where one of the flaws comes into play: this game can get pretty frustrating, as you will encounter monsters every... oh, say, 12 steps. While this may be useful if you're TRYING to level up, unless you happen to have found a well-hidden relic that allows you to avoid them and the character that can use it is in your party, you're going to have to keep fighting monster after monster, day after day, stage after stage. Another annoying factor is the difficulty. Unless you're WILLING to wade through the infinite amounts of random battles, you'll have a hard time with the bosses. Especially if there isn't a save point soon after fighting the boss. Otherwise, a classic RPG. I gives it a 4 out o' 5.

07:39 pm - One last addition!
I have one last thing to add to my review, and that is another, less bold-faced disclaimer. This game is violent. It may only have a teen rating, but hell, your little soldiers don't just keel over and die. They EXPLODE. They scream out in pain, and then explode and leave blood and maybe a visor or something. Of course, this is only for the Human faction, and I assume you're not that affected by aliens dying. Unless you're one yourself, that is...

07:09 pm - Livejoinal 2.0 with astounding new features!
You know I never update my livejournal, and since practically the only things I do are go to school, play video games, and go online, I'm adding a new feature... It shall be called...
Doc X's Video Game Corner, um, I guess!!!
I'll review a game every time I beat it! Aren't are excited? I certainly am. Especially since it's time for my first review. Today I'll be telling you about Starcraft. This game was released in 1998 by Blizzard as a space/future alternative to Warcraft, and while it's pretty old considering all the next-gen consoles and improved software, it's pretty damn good. The graphics are what you would expect from 1998. A lot better than most others of it's time- the talking pictures of the units and heroes are somewhat realistic, and the animation is done well. The sound is very cinematic, and the voiceovers are done very well. As for the gameplay, it plays like many other RTS's. You collect resources (luckily, there are only two kinds of resources), build units, and try to beat any opposing armies. Simple, right? Wrong. There are three different factions in this game, and each one plays differently. None of them are more powerful than the other. You'll need to find ways to work with the technological ladders and slight advantages your faction provides, lest you be crushed by your opponents. Speaking of which, this game is REALLY hard, and suprisingly strategy-oriented for an RTS. The computer can be merciless as you progress through the single player game, and as for the multiplayer, well... I'm going to put a disclaimer here. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PLAY STARCRAFT ONLINE UNLESS YOU HAVE A GOOD FRIEND THAT IS HIGH-RANKED IN THE SYSTEM OR YOU ARE REALLY, REALLY GOOD AT STARCRAFT. Otherwise, any other player that you might be caught in a game with will automatically be 10 times better at it than you. Once it has begun, if you choose to NOT surrender immediately, they will rip you to shreds and then piss on whatever's left of you. Even if you are allied with someone, they will either A.)laugh at you as you die and then take over the battle, leaving you to watch in shame, B.)die first and leave you to fend for yourself, or C.) defect to the other side using the rather annoying diplomacy option even if you've already established the teams, and then bring you a quick demise. What is especially humiliating about this is that almost no one on the online feature knows how to spell, let alone use proper grammar. It's like being beaten up by a toddler, and depending on your situation, having them call you a 'stupid little kid' afterwards. And then having your friends show up and laugh at you. So please, PLEASE, heed my warning if you plan on buying this game.
Besides that, this game is awesome. I give it a 4 out of 5.

Huh? What's this? He's updating? SAY IT ISN'T SO!
It is.
Not much to say on my part. Christmas went well. New Year's went well. Back to school... didn't go so well.
Expect NEW and EXCITING things in the future from me. Or not.

11:20 am - Also..
1. Take the letters in your user name and find what number the are in the alphabet ex: a-1 b-2
2. Add all the numbers together to create some kind of super number.
3. Make a note of the first digit of this number, then add the digits of the number together.
4. Find the post of this number in your LJ. If you don't have that many posts, add the digits together again, keep doing so until the number is smaller than your pathetic number of posts.
5. Take the digit you noted in step three, and count that many words into the post.
6. Use the resulting word in a Google Image Search, and select a picture from the first page.
.. It's a bicycle.
