Even though I slept in because of Pokemon, I still got up at a respectable time. When I went downstairs to get breakfast, I saw my brother-in-law's brother in the backyard playing with our dog. I almost didn't recognize him because he got fat, and because of the facial hair. It's a somewhat dramatic transformation. I'm used to stability.
Example: myself. I've been getting fit by inches over the years, but I'm practically the same from when I graduated college. The one thing I do worry about is that I'm getting lighter. I need to eat more meat.
I stretched rigorously as I farmed more VC from 2K14. By the end of today, I was able to get enough to buy every last facility upgrade in MyGM mode. It amounted to approximately 54,000 VC, which is a ridiculous amount to gain through normal means.
I still need more, because that's how they designed this accursed game. I don't even know how many hours I wasted not playing, but I hope this week is the last time I'll ever have to do something like this. I still need 50,000 more just to buy the Lakers, but since that requires going through three whole seasons first, I'm not too concerned about it. I'm more worried about turning my SF into a beast right now.
I probably spent half an hour to an hour stretching. I think it worked, because after all that running--and walking, I don't feel as sore as I expected. I went through a route that cuts through the Santa Ana River. It took me about an hour and half to complete. I don't know how many miles it is, but it's freakin' long.
There's something funny about listening to a song by the band This Will Destroy You while getting destroyed. The sun never felt more hot. Usually, my mind is free to wander when I run, but I was so absorbed in the physical trial, with my ears pounding, my head being squeezed like a balloon about to pop, there was no room for musing. I was consumed by aches and fatigue the likes of which I haven't experienced for far too long. For a brief moment, I wondered if I could return home safely. Fortunately, I'm still here.
My goal for the year is to get this entire route under an hour. It should be doable.
Once I got home, it was business as usual. I should buy overalls and a hat for all the farming I do in 2K14.
I watched another episode of Mayo Chiki and Nisekoi. Can't let the entire day be dedicated to gaming only.
On that topic, I played a couple matches in Metro, Firestorm, and Gulf of Oman. It feels very similar, but also a little different to Battlefield 3. What I wouldn't give for a Grand Bazaar remake. Metro is a clusterfuck as always, but I was getting great production out of the EOD bot. Those choke points are stupid, but since there's plenty of ammo lying around, using an EOD bot is a pretty nifty strategy. Guys don't expect it, and when you get up in their grill, you allow your teammates to storm in while they're distracted.
I did awful during my short stint. I need my boy to back me up in order to play at peak capacity!
