Ok, the haiku sucked. So did the experience.<\/p>\n
I went and bought Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne<\/i> two days ago, along with Mafia<\/i>. It was Payne I had gone to find and it was Payne that I tried installing first. <\/p>\n
Dung! It didn’t even detect the first disc. Tried all possible methods including a dos-copy of the files to the HD first, and then a linux-copy. Didn’t work. Mafia<\/i> installed properly, but even when I tried out the initial heist-getaway episode of Mafia<\/i>, my mind was screaming Payne-ful obscenities at pirates who didn’t bother to be diligent enough to check whether the stuff they are selling work or not. Whatever happened to honour among thieves?<\/p>\n
Yesterday at lunchtime, I popped over to Koti again and exchanged the it. There were no other copies of Payne2 left. ( Oooh, it burns me up to think that at this moment, there are other snotty brats in my city who are actually<\/i> playing Max Payne 2 and I. COULDN’T. GET. THE. CD. Double dung! ) <\/p>\n
Well, anyways, I got Halo: Combat Evolved<\/i> and Star Wars:Jedi Academy<\/i>. Three cds for the price of two, because, as I explained to the shop-owner, I actually had had to spend a lot of money on the auto-fare ( thankfully, he didn’t say anything smart-alecky about taking the bus ). Came back and checked to see that both of them were working. Hmm. Didn’t install them, will finish Return To Castle Wolfenstein<\/i> first, and then look for alternatives. <\/p>\n
Yum, yum, yum, I am getting a joystick for the first time in my life!!! Yippeee-de-do-dah!! <\/p>\n
Good Experience of the Week<\/b>: Whee! I got Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells II<\/i> as a gift from Chandru! The original TB is not to be found anywhere ( in CD format, tapes being available. Somewhat. ) This one’s not too bad, got some rehashes of the familiar Tubular Bells theme. Unluckily, with all the game-frenzy, I have been unable to give it a proper listen. Well, the weekend should take care of that<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Embarassing Experience of the Week<\/b>: The fly of my Jeans refusing to close after a quick trip to the loo…<\/p>\n
The calendar on my desk, the one with the oddball words of advice for every day of the year. says: Evil multiplies when good men don’t champion what’s right.<\/i> For some odd reason, I see Dr. Evil in his hideout, saying “4 times 20 is 90, no, 80″…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
