Event Log: 6/21/14 - Downturn Doldrums

I was woken up this morning by a phone call. My friend wanted to get lunch together so we went out and got In N Out. Haven't had that in awhile so that was nice. Lunchtime on a Saturday meant the place was packed. It didn't matter because the heart of eating out is conversation. A good talk does wonders for speeding up time. I got a cheeseburger with fries. We talked about stuff and went back to my house where we hung out in my room.

He told me about his experience with Mesa, a restaurant lounge in Costa Mesa. I said I was down to go tonight, but a late celebration of my mom's birthday put a rain check on that idea. My sister came over from San Diego with spring rolls and the whole family had them for dinner with a slice of tiramisu cake. The spring rolls were great, if a little filling. There was something crunchy inside that gave it great texture.

After dinner was served, I hopped online with my other friend in BF4. We played the OG maps and provided more wins for our team concept. I'm telling you, teamwork...WORKS. After we called it a night, I decided to play some MGS3.

It's funny that I've bought MGS3 a grand total of four times. First was Snake Eater, then the special edition of Subsistence, then the MGS Collection, and finally the HD Collection. I can finally watch these cutscenes in silky smooth 60fps, barring ones with heavy lightning effects it seems. I made it as far as Sokolov in Groznyj Grad. For some reason, I had a helluva time fighting against the Fury. I recalled that I beat him easily the first time around, then again, I wasn't going for stamina kills. And hunting down The End without thermogogs was a pain.

By the time I stopped, it was six in the morning. Yikes.
