Hey everybody! It's time to be incredibly rude!

Why do they call it "PMS?" Because "Mad Cow" was already taken!

Well, I finally finished Jedi Outcast today. (Ok, well, technically, yesterday, but who cares?) But the best news is I finally figured out how to get a double-bladed lightsaber in multiplayer mode! The trick is knowing the file name of the level. Pay attention when the level loads, because it gives the file name there. To get the lightsaber:

- Press Shift and ~ to open the console.
- Type devmap ***** (Where ***** is the name of the level, or everything before the .bsp of the file name for that level.)
- After the level loads again, equip your lightsaber. (Press 1.)
- Turn off the lightsaber. (Press 1 again.)
- Press Shift and ~ to open the console again.
- Type \thedestroyer to enable the double-bladed lightsaber.

If you did it right, your screen should "bounce" a little, the lightsaber should ignite, and the console will respond: THE DESTROYER COMETH.

Jedi Outcast rocks! I just added a bunch of characters to the multiplayer mode! I could play as Grand Admiral Thrawn! How cool is that?? (Well, not very when you think about it... True, he was a tactical genius, but he was killed by a little guy with a knife...)

Time to add some bots so I can play offline!

Yesterday I put on my not quite the right size G.I. Joe shirt and headed down to Burbank for a James DeSimone G.I. Joe "convention." It's in quotations because it's really just a bunch of sellers in a hotel basement set up by DeSimone. They sell G.I. Joe stuff.

I didn't get a lot, but I did find a real gem! For $7, I got a MIB CUDA! The description from Yojoe.com:

While most of it was identical to the original APC, the mail-order version had a dark-green top instead of the tan camouflage top. This mail-in version with the dark-green top was also used to create the convention exclusive CUDA.

Ok, so my best friend Matt has been trying to set me up with an acquaintance of his. By "set me up," I assume you know what I mean...

She's nice and all, but... I don't know...

Yesterday my mother was gracious enough to buy me a board game. (Isn't that great? I'm 19 and my mom still buys me stuff!) The board game? The Game of Life. Star Wars Edition. Yee-haw! I could be a Jedi Knight or a Sith Lord!

Now if only I could find somebody to play the game with!

Ok, so I just spent 3 days at Catalina Island. Talk about your small places! A Jeep Wrangler takes up a third of the road! But Catalina does have its charm. It's probably the only place in the world where golf carts outnumber cars, buffalo still roam around wild, and most of the island is still owned by the Wrigleys (the chewing gum people)!

The G.I. Joe Convention is going on now in Norfolk, Virginia. Lots of new stuff coming out this years. (99 freakin' figures!) Looks like all you people will finally be able to figure out what to get me for my birthday!
