My friend once thought the Sphere Grid poster on my wall was something related to DNA structure...
Hurray! My tickets for A-Kon came in today. ♥ I was actually surprised it took such a short amount of time this year for them to get to me--a little less than 2 weeks-- since last year it took almost 2 months. Now all I have to do is reserve a room at the Adam's Mark and I'm all set. And I know I've been saying that for the past month or so. I'm just totally timid when it comes to calling up people.
I know Sara and Katherine (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
raknarok and michachan respectively) are also attending A-Kon, but is anyone else on my f-list going (or thinking of going)? ~curious~ My brother (the elusive perfectfive) is also going, but only because I'm making him. =D Come on. I paid for his pre-reg. Either he goes, or he owes me $37. XD

So last night the Reunion Special was shown...which struck me as odd since the show hasn't ended yet. Don't you usually have reunions after the show has ended? Anyway, there actually wasn't much shown (I'm guessing a whole lot of the reunion was cut out so they could fit it into one hour), but there were a few highlights/interesting moments.
1. Guadalupe had to have been drunk out of her mind. It was both disturbing and hilarious to watch her fumble through anything she had to say. To her random outburst of "I LOVE YOU SANTINO!" to her equally random, totally rambling reply (Why the sudden Walk the Line reference and repeated sayings of "respond/response", Guadalupe?) to a viewer's question, she was just out there. I laughed hysterically at the uncomfortable and confused looks the other designers had on their faces whenever the camera panned toward them.
2. Heidi Klum showing her German roots when she says, "They were selling like bagels," as opposed to, you know, "selling like hotcakes." ...Okay, so maybe I only thought that was funny.
3. Daniel F. seemed like he wanted to put Santino aflame with his eyes.
4. OMG! Andrae's strange little breakdown during the second challenge was actually 9 minutes and 53 seconds long?! Then I'm so glad they edited it down to like 15 seconds for the show. ^^;
5. Apparently Zulema's alter ego is named "She-Tangy". But what I want to know is when WASN'T she She-Tangy. La la la, she was constantly brash and abrasive, la la la.
6. Poor Diana. She looked so uncomfortable being there.
7. And yes! They finally called Andrae out on his strange accent! I especially cracked up when Chloe described him as someone who "speaks with this weird English, French, gay accent." MWAHAHA! Its so true!
8. Ummm...any of the moments when they showed Santino impersonating Tim Gunn or when anyone was singing. Classic moments.
Next week the first half of the last episode will be shown. I can't wait. ^___^

So EGM's Crispin Boyer made a list of his 'Five Worst Ways to Die in Videogames' and then he asked others to comment in on what they thought was their worst game death.
My favorites of the 'Worst Ways to Die" comments:
--Those annoying little Tonberries. Death at the hand of a Tonberry is crippling humiliation.
--Anytime you talk mad trash to a friend about how you mastered a game and then getting owned by him in the first 30 seconds.
--Stepping on your own claymore in Metal Gear Solid. -- YES. This happened to me all the damn time.
--Being eating by a slime in any Dragon Quest game. I mean it's slime, when you lose to that you just have to feel sad.
--Watching [Sonic] drown just as an air bubble forms. -- Is it sadistic that I laugh insanely when this happens?
--It's just a tad creepy in Zelda: Ocarina of Time when a Redead humps you to death. Well, it's actually biting, but the way they jump on you...especially from the front...
--Getting killed by the zombie monkeys in Resident Evil Zero for Gamecube. MONKEYS!
--I actually thought you meant the top 5 worst video game deaths. In that case, almost any death in Mortal Kombat 4 would have qualified. Talk about HORRIBLE ACTING. Writhing on the floor was their entire script. -- Oohhhh, burn!
My buddy Rob got pissed off at the original Resident Evil for the PSX and gamesharked invincibility. Well he didn't save the game since he couldn't die, but came to the startling revelation that rolling boulder > invincibility code. -- Because we all know rolling boulders can not be beaten.Except by Chuck Norris, but that's another story.

And lastly, Seal, one of my cats, scratched me behind my left ear and it bled for like 30 minutes straight. Damn, I hate head wounds. And my subject line? Had nothing to do with my post at all. XDDD</small.
