I'm going slightly mad

[trinityvixen]

There is no way to rationalize this, so I'm just going to come out and say it: I have spent the better part of today wishing I had horns.

You heard me: horns. It must still be on my mind from talking about splicing baseball players with goats yesterday. I actually put my fists against the corners of my forehead and tried to imagine what it would be like to have little devil horns there. Or any sort of horns. If I could choose, I'd take Volt Krueger's. (For the two people who'll get this reference, he's the guy who wasn't Kou "GET IT HERE" Leifou" in The Bouncer. Who had horns.)

It's not that I really want horns. I just sort of think I do today. This is very funny to me, seeing as, when I was a wee thing, I got really irritated by the fact that Aries, in this table-top gaming villain group extension full of Zodiac characters, was a big dumb wrester with ram horns. (Really, gamers? That's the best you could do? Ram horns. Ram horns?) I'd take 'em today. Horns.

Well, now I know what you're getting for your birthday!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Horns, dude. Why horns? Why not some useful genetic alteration, like a tail or prehensile boobs? Horns?

And tell me you remember The Bouncer. GET IT HERE!

prehensile boobs

...I can't decide if that's awesome or utterly horrifying. Possibly both.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

It would be different, that's for sure. For one thing, no more bras! Them puppies could keep themselves up and in place!

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't they get tired, though? You get tired holding your arms up all day. Or would you have totally saggy boobs when no one was looking?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

It probably would be an exercise issue like any other muscle. If you got good enough at it, you could tone the pectoral muscles underneath, which apparently leads to naturally perkier tits in the first place. Then you wouldn't need to have the boob muscles tensed all the time.

Of course I remember The Bouncer! I almost re-bought it for $4!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

That's about what it's worth, yes. KOU LEIFOU!!!! and his crotch-oriented tattoo couldn't ask for more than that.

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I'd totally have bought The Bouncer for $4. I remember renting it when it first came out, and it really wasn't very good, but man, four bucks.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

It had some replay value, and it was an interesting system of combat, for the most part. Voice acting was ridiculous, but that never stopped me from loving House of the Dead, so it really can't prevent me from enjoying anything.

And tell me you remember The Bouncer.

I certainly do, and I've never seen it! We used to yell "DOMINIQUE!!!!" a lot to drive feiran crazy.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Heh! Siiiiiiiiionnnn!!!! She used to exclaim that in a girly voice all the time, too. She probably deserved whatever you did in retaliation.

Wow, that makes THREE people who know that game. That's fully 50% more than I was expecting.

prehensile boobs??? XDXD

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Dude, next time someone cops a feel, you could crush their hand if you train those babies.

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what you're talking about, and yet I am still amused.
:)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

We're talking about horns. Wee little ones protruding from my skull.

Alas, the more I talk about it, the less interested I am in the idea. I should find some other radical body-mod to blather about.

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

I got that much. :)

The Bouncer ^______^
Kou's totally my favorite. I like Volt's character but I have a hard time playing slower moving characters. Someday I'll go back and play Volt's storyline.

I want a Kou icon now...

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I want an animated Kou icon that starts from far away and closes in on his gigantic "OH HAI, IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING, MY COCK IS DOWN HERE" tattoo in three steps, ending on his crotch. With "GET", closer, "IT", closer, "HERE" crotch. I need to make this happen.

Volt was strong, but I'm such a sucker for quicker characters, I hardly ever played him. Then he'd be far too unleveled and couldn't keep up with the other two, so I'd be even less likely to play him. That was the real failing of that game--the uneven leveling aspect.

[mobiuswolf.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I forgot about the leveling curve. And by curve I mean right angle. -_-;;

I'm going to have to see if I can find screenshots for this when I get home from iaido tonight.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I'm an Aries, I already have a set of my own. I'm coming around on them, too. Big curly horns coming from my forehead and going back by my ears? It's like a headband. Of HORN.

I always wanted to be a cooler sign. I wanted to be Pisces or Leo. 'Cause I like fish and kitties.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I'm such an Aries, though. I think it's (surprise!) random, and the astrologists pretend that the few examples prove the rule.

[sols-light.livejournal.com]

You can get Volt's horns done. After all they're just a body mod piercing. Ah, The Bouncer was a surprisingly fun game for a Beat 'em Up.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm aware that you can get it done--it's just another sort of piercing--but it's not the sort that's conducive to most, um, jobs? And seeing as this momentary idle desire has mostly ebbed, it's a good thing I did not rush out and do it. Life is better when you have impulse control!

And you're the fourth person to know The Bouncer! That's twice as many now as I thought.
