E = MC 3.

So that was a pretty lame title...But I tried and I think that's what counts...?

So everyone else pumped for E3 in the next few days? I know I am. I think it will be sweet, and I can't wait to see the next console that Nintendo are announcing! Hope it's sexy and as cheap as the Wii which I highly doubt but it's worth a shot.

What else is there? OHHH TOTALLY WANT MORE SKYRIM INFO!

Really hope we get some juicy information on that front. Would be awesome.

Hmm that's all I've got to say really. So I hope you enjoy that.

My name is Mikey and HOLD THE FORWARD LINE!

Guess where I might be?

Have you figured it out?
I am at uni...But what class?
NO YOU IDIOT! I'M NOT IN CRITICAL REASONING! I'M IN MY CREATIVE WRITING CLASS!

Gosh you're such an idiot audience.

Any how here I am, in this class. Just sort of existing.
I have a story to workshop and I will get to that I'm sure. But you know, lazy.

I had a strange dream last night. It consisted of Scoot asking me how I wanted my Zombie Avatar to look for the forums of this website.
Why Zombie? I'll never know, but that is what he asked me.
It was strange none the less.

So yeah I'm pretty keen to get the Zelda Occarina of Time 3Ds special edition...Comes with an actual Occarina! Plus some music sheets to play some songs...
I don't have a 3DS (Yet) but by gosh do I want to get the game just for the Occarina.
I think I might.

That's my bit done.
I guess I should pay attention to my final tute.

My name is Mikey and I don't like change.

Guess where I am?

So I'm posting my weekly 'Kive update...
Guess where I am then?

THAT'S RIGHT! MY CRITICAL REASONING CLASS!

You are a champion. I like your style.
But why do you do this in class Mikey?
Well I'm glad you asked, my answer is that because I'm so good at not working, while pretending to work, I manage to actually get some work done for another thing. Such as posting updates on the 'Kive.
Couldn't you use this time, if not paying attention to your actual class, to work on your other uni based work?
Well persistent imaginary voice, I don't like to do work that might actually benefit me. So there.

I think I'll be off now. I am out of class and about to head home. Now it just feels dirty to post here while not at class.

Bye!

My name is Mikey and I'm better than most garden plants.

A Post. Deal with it.

Here is a post. I hope you enjoy it. (Side note: This is slightly different form my tumblr version of this post.)

Here I sit, once again at university.

Hooray for not getting shit done.

There has been lots going on for me. I'm not in a class right now, I'm just in the library. Listening to music, posting stuff online, pretending to be vaguely interested in the things the occasional person I know says to me.
You know, socialising when one doesn't really want to socialise.
I'm pretending to essays right now. I say pretending. I'm trying, my brain just doesn't want to let me. I blame it on you. All of you individually.
I have no grounds for this accusation obviously, I just thought it might be nice to include you to my insanity. Well possibly insane to you, to me I suppose it has become my normalized reality.

Oh look a squirrel....

Where was I? Right the popcorn. That's a lie, I wasn't talking about popcorn, I was just testing myself to see that I could write about anything soon as it entered my brain. I wasn't going to edit that idea, I wasn't going to think of something more funny or witty for the post. I just wanted to write the first thing. It was popcorn. I am a bastion of creative thinking. Hooray for broken imagination. Or really good. Depends how you look at it and what your mind can do with popcorn. NOT THAT YOU SICK FUCKS.
Maybe that.
Of course the problem with this is, that while I am writing it, I am the editor and such so that you don't know if I actually have edited it so that what I wrote initially may not have been popcorn.
Live in fear reader. Live in fear.
Okay it was popcorn. I didn't alter anything. BUT I COULD HAVE.

Wow, I get ranty. I mean rant in the sense that I just go on and on, with no real purpose and or structure I just write. I wanted to write a book that incorporated this at some stage. I think I might get back on that track. It was fun to write and sort of just did it's own thing. I don't know what genre the book fell into. It was weird. I mean it actively engaged with the reader and then commented on the fact that engaging with a reader was impossible in real time and that breaking the fourth wall is fun. It was fun to do. It also had some of my short stories in there because well why not?
My observations are in there too. Not all of them, but some. I can always observe more.

Man I wish I was wearing a full silk outfit. It would be just so nice right now. I don't really know why but I like the idea.
Give me something to muse on. Someone. Any one?
Fuck you guys are useless.

See there I go again. I can't break the fourth wall and have reaction/response in real time.

Well I can end this here. I know I can because I am the writer. I decided when I stop. So there.
I shall say good day to you all.


My name is Mikey and I SAID GOOD DAY!

Where oh where is shadow?

Well I don't know what's happened to the others, but I guess I'll have to get onto that.
I'm going to keep going with the blog so GO ME! yay!

I am, as you may have guessed, in a university class right now. Hooray for not doing work while pretending to do work.
I'm in my Philosophy class Mind and World. It's pretty good. Keeps me entertained at the very least.
We are talking about perception in relation to the Identity Theory. If you don't know what that is then congratulations, you are the same level with me.
Wow...It's been a while since I started writing this. I am now three classes further into my day. You know what that means?! If I haven't posted this blog/have written anything for it since I entered that means....I'M LEARNING?! WHAT THE HELL!? I'm focusing attention on my lectures than what ever the hell I want? What is wrong with me?

Oh well, I am here now, waiting for my Critical Reasoning class to start. You know the one...The one with the lecturer who famously coined Cerdibilkity.
I am really lost with this class which isn't a good thing. I am doing poorly in terms of assignments for my other classes but at least I know what is going on. This class I just straight up forget everything we've talked about.
Oh well. (My favourite new phrase it seems).

I guess I should get going. I'll leave a comment if my lecturer gives me any more classic class moments to think about. But otherwise I better just call it a day.

My name is Mikey and all that glitters has a high refractive index.

We meet again...

Ah the University Mid Semester break is over and here I am, once again, sitting in one of my classes writing a blog post.
At last a semblance of order has been restored to my world.
Right now there is utter quite...Not a whisper...Everyone is too busy pretending to be busy with readings and such.
In fact the dead must envy such silence as this.

Oh great the class is getting somewhat important...
I have to go.

Bye!
My name is Mikey and this sentence is followed with my disdain.

I thought with them...

It seems an age since the 'Kive's last update. Well I am here to rectify this situation.
I won't talk long but I will talk happily!

Are you thinking with P squared?
I have bought, played and finished Portal 2. I got it a few days early as my local store decided to break release date.
Summation...IT WAS AWESOME.
Okay so I went in with trepidation as I thought, it has a lot to live up to. Expectations, the first game and all that jazz. Well it didn't disapoint. I can say that much for sure. It was amazing. Lots of fun, great, simply superb dialouge and it was a fair bit longer than the first one which is always a bonus.
I love the characters so much. Wheatly, GLaDOS and of course our Apperture Science founder Cave Johnson. Great roles.

Oh I might post some more details about the game in a bit, I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still kicking.

My name is Mikey and this is a statement.

Frozen Feast

The Humble Bundle is back. The Humble Bundle has been and passed a few times already now and acts as a great way for indie game developers to get their game out there, while raising money for charity. This time around the bundle is brought to you by Frozenbyte and includes 3 full games (Trine, Shadow Grounds & Shadow Grounds: Survivor), a pre-order for upcoming title Splot, plus an unreleased protoype called Jack Claw (which sadly only runs on windows and currently requires an xbox control to function). All titles are completely DRM-Free and can be copied and installed on as many computers as you see fit. So how much for such an awesome bundle you ask? That's entirely up to you. The Humble Bundle allows YOU to decide how much you're willing to pay for the bundle and how you want your money to be split with proceeds going to developer Frozenbyte and/or charities Electronic Frontier Foundation & Child's Play. Having bought Humble Bundles in the past, i know how great value these bundles always are and highly recommend everyone pick this up. The games included are often of fantastic quality and might help you develop an interest in games that you might not normally play. The 3 main games in this bundle come in at well over 500mb each, but the HB team has been working hard to ensure fast download speeds by using cloud storage and geographical  caching to optimise speed, plus making a bittorrent download available.

Australia's War on Kombat

If you haven't heard by now then... well, it's probably coz i think i was too slack to report it, but Mortal Kombat is officially banned in Australia. This isn't too surprising, but what was a little surprising was a story that hit the internet saying people caught importing the game would be facing up to $110,000 fines. This seems a bit harsh, so i recently looked into the story (it's 1:30am and i'm bored, don't judge me). The first problem was that every version of the story i could find was directly quoted from Gamespot, and with all due respect to gamespot, i'd trust wikipedia before i'd trust their research. Delving deep into Customs documentation (at least as far as i could go while still making heads or tails of it) i found that it IS indeed illegal to import any game rated as RC by the classification board. It's right in the document Gamespot quoted (Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 - Section 4A-1A-F) however the quoted document doesn't actually make any mention of penalties. A quick search (or following this link) reveals a notice from Customs that shows a familiar figure... People can in fact be fined $110,000 for importing prohibited items, in quantities of 25 or more... oops. The fine can be given to people caught importing large quantities of prohibited items or if they have intent of selling, distributing or exhibiting said items. So what WILL happen if you're caught importing a copy of Mortal Kombat for your own personal use... In short, I don't know. I failed to turn up any relevant documentation on the penalties, but people in the past have had their games destroyed and warned not to try again, with rare cases of people being fined, but nothing as extreme as $110k. So for those considering importing it the consequences are not nearly as bad as stated by gamespot's source (who likely misunderstood the question, or just wanted to spook people from trying), however it IS still illegal and if caught Customs is in their right to hand out penalties. IMPORT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

In which stuff happens...

So it's taking me a while, not because it's hard but because I just haven't felt the urge, I'm still working on Pokemon Black.
So far the thing rocks! And for reference I'm up to the Elite Four.
I'm loving the new graphics of the game and the new sprite animations. However I'm not to keen on the sprites of the fifth gen. Pokemon.
So I will get to that in the next few days I hope. From what I understand however after the Elite Four there is still a fair bit to cover. Good long chunk of side quests and such to do.

What I've also had a lovingly long play with is my friends 3DS...It's pretty awesome.
I admit it's not everything I could want it to be and I think it may need more work, such as a longer battery life. I guess that the 3DS Lite will fix that. I assume they will release it. It will make them more money that they definitely don't need.

Oh I also really want to have Jeremy Irons' voice box. That is all.

My name is Mikey and this is a matter of Pride.
