You play as the trashy looking Jimmy Hopkins who is being dumped off at Bullworth Academy so that his newly remarried mother can go on a honeymoon cruise and not have to deal with a miserable kid like you who keeps getting kicked out of schools. I honestly couldn’t stop laughing as soon as I put this game in; the audio is pretty hilariously and mean. You hear nasty comments and insults constantly throughout the game since you are tossed in the middle of the nastiest school around and after a short while it seems to be that it is more like their inner dialogue reaching you as you hear their strange quirks and secrets. It tended to shock anyone around to hear the characters running around threatening and beating up the other characters or even the quick “I’m so good at kissing, I always practice on my arm!” or “Can’t let anyone know I still do that!”. It shouldn’t have surprised me since it comes from Rockstar, the developers/publishers of Grand Theft Auto, so no surprise that you also heal through playing tonsil hockey.
So I originally picked up this game because I heard it had the great feature of you being able to kiss a jock (whom then begs you to never tell anyone) and seeing it on sale for under $5(^-^), I grabbed it for a good laugh. Jimmy, the main character is dumb, easy to manipulate, and doesn’t have much of a neck (odd looking at times) but he does grow on you. After going through some storyline I looked up info on kissing guys in the game and found that luckily you can kiss 6 of them: Trent, Gord, Vance, Kirby, Duncan, and Cornelius. This would be one character of each of the games cliques: Bullies, Preps, Greasers, Jocks, Townies, and Geeks. First off, you need to pass your first art class so that you can unlock the option of trying to kiss anyone. Yeah, I know, but I guess staring at pictures of Miss Phillips (art teacher), awakens something inside you. Unfortunately after that, you still have to finish chapter 1 to kiss anyone beyond Cornelius, which includes kissing some questionable girls(story mode) to unlock some love from the bullies. Once done, you can unlock the ability to give Trent flowers, so that you can interrupt his beating up geeks for a good make out session. The kissing scene full of moans, groans and maybe some ass grabbing, it is typical for other characters walk by, usually staring hard. As more people like you, characters might be openly adoring/envious of you and your make out partner while you exchange saliva. :p I personally wouldn’t give into making out with Cornelius, who looks like Steve Urkel, and saved myself for the angry Trent, since I just couldn’t wait for Gord. As chapters go by you will gain the love of other cliques on campus (and later loose some) and thus be able to snog a new boy. Generally you can skip out on kissing girls except through the story mode and just keep your favorite ‘boyfriend(s)’. Trent after Chapter 1 is yours and during times when you fall out of favor with other groups you can always go back to his loving/bullying arms. No shame in Trent he is probably the most open Bi boy in the game. Trent the Bully - Unlocked after Chapter I - White shirt, blonde hair “Wanna play shirts and skins?” Outside the school beating people up Gord the Prep -Unlocked after Chapter II - Prep shirt, small guy, scarf Talks about clothes and the poor. Outside Prep house or in town in Old Bull Vale, or the carnival Vance the Greaser - Unlocked after Chapter III - Leather jacket, small guy, red hair “Whats buzzin’ Cousin” Autoshop area or in town in Kirby the Jock - Unlocked after Chapter IV - Blue or grey shirt, brown hair Complains and has a huge ego. Gym area or in the football field Duncan the Townie - Unlocked late or after Chapter V - White shirt with orange circle, blonde Likes Grottos and Gremlins(D&D), may flirt with you. In the industrial part of town Cornelius the Geek - Almost always available - Green shirt, tall, black, glasses Talks about math lots. Library or outside school probably being beat up by Trent If you end up going to town, all characters will be spread out in particular parts of town, easy to grab for a quick kiss before you start a mission to boost your stats and health. Fantastically there is the achievement ‘Over the Rainbow’ which you get from kissing ‘gents’ a good 20 times. I did find it interesting that after favoring Gord for a while that Trent and Gord fought frequently. If you kiss a girl then go kiss a guy, if the girl is nearby she might kick him in the groin. I’m unsure if that’s why the guys where fighting or if it was just cause Trent likes to beat up everyone and if any prep is involved in fighting it is likely Gord. At times when respect is rocky you might want to rely on the percentages of respect from the different cliques to figure out who you can make out with. I love how this game has a wide open world that you can travel in and that there are not too many errands (tiny quests) or constant storyline. Once you know your way around the area and how the prefects work the game is pretty fun since everything is up to you. There isn’t much you want to do with different clothes but since money is easy to come by you might as well get an interesting outfit or spend half of the game in a ridiculous costume(though good luck kissing anyone). Overall it was a fun game, though I bought it and played it through strictly because I craved a game with some queerity to it. I can see why people feel it is a classic, it was funny and everyone is a jerk. Except Trent, after you kiss him he pretty much loves you saying things like “This is just like some romance movie”… (Then maybe saves his rep by)… “Uhhhh, I’m such a player” lol. Sure you are Trent, sure you are.

I had to trade in chances for creativity this holiday for some visiting time with my niece and nephews and a months worth of full time hours. Following my last blog I finished work, then went to go visit my girly friend at her place to crash for the night(slept pretty decently) before my fam`s festivities started the next day. I got to play some Phantasy Star IV(from the sega) that I remember my dad telling me about with great enthusiasm a good ten years ago. I also got into Phantasy Star III, Golden Axe I, II, + III, The Sonics, Comix Zone, Columns, and Ecco the Dolphin. All pretty good games to play especially while listening to some seriously random music. Also watched Narnia 3D, Under the Red Hood(it was ORGASMIC!!!), and am finishing Batman Gotham Knight(beautiful artists involved with unique perspectives). Am taking resumes for new friends who actually like animes, comics and video games now. Send to [email protected]. Lol
For xmas I managed to alter my stocking to be nightmare before christmas themed, as well as, got my neice and nephew to watch the movie for the first time. I spent the eve and day of, enjoying my bottle of wine, which is something I suppose I am known for in my family, wanting to instantly split our wine supply as one for the family, the rest for me. Call me an alcoholic, but you will be disappointed when you drink with me later and I don’t get sick drunk. :p It was interesting to write up what had happened in my past. One thing that particularly sticks is the end. It ended with my life becoming what others made it. I never did come back from being about everyone else to live my life. To remember myself. I remember getting to that point in the writing. I kept thinking, trying to write the next paragraph. I found nothing. My life just hasn’t gone anywhere, only backwards. Only on the back burner. I never have given myself the time since then. I’m not perfect in any degree. Its been a struggle to try to get back to taking steps to put me back on my list of priorities. I cannot convince myself that I am worth it, so it has become hard to not give in to others and make myself available. It was easier when I was with Trav, I came home to my life. I actually left school and work and went home, where my life existed, where they would listen about my day, it was just work, work and stuff, but not everything. It was the last time I feel like I was me. I managed to make some hard choices, sometimes using other events than just that I needed it, to help me make the tough decisions easier. I have distanced myself from some friends and family and completely ridden myself of others. I had to keep telling myself internally that some can just go fuck themselves to finally convince myself that I can not care and just try to do my life right now. Another thing that really hit while I was writing it was how much baggage I hold from Little Slimey. It really hit my next relationship hard. Lil Slimey was someone I was suppose to be writing for the last couple months, and recently took the steps to contact me, despite being cut off from the net or phones. I couldn’t bring myself to write them this last year, knowing that they wanted me to, because I couldn’t manage to keep the letter positive. I finally got word from them and could tell from the letter that they are going through a rough time, so have been writing them back finally, though I did not sensor myself, the letter is overall, quite positive and supportive. Huzzah to me. ^.^’’ Unless they just wanted sugar… -.-`` Then Ooops. Now to try to get my life in order. I have resolved to visit Kat and Kyles and their kids at least monthly this year. I will also try to get to the point of liking myself again. Perhaps one day feeling great about myself and my future again. Perhaps another goal should be to figure out what I’m going to do about Trav(game addict) and M(Antisocial?). Both of them I adore and try to hang with plenty but they have little interest except to brush me off. Its bad for my confidence to keep trying, but they continue to be on my mind, and thus I continue to tell them once in a while how it would be cool to hang sometime. They make me feel like a freaking stalker to ask it. Nicely enough though Trav has just let me come over when I told him that I needed to be around him. Perhaps I am drawn to the feel that they wouldn’t drag me into drama or start making demands on my time or life. Why I somehow have put my self value riding on their acceptance and friendship is still beyond me. The one-sidedness of it scares me sometimes though, worries me that I am getting myself into something that is just going to weigh me down, but I cant seem to throw them away, so I guess I will just try to determine when it gets bad, and then try to deal with it. On a positive note I will be booking an appointment for my next tattoo on the 14th of this month thanks to my Sis and her wonderfully painful gift to me. Meh, I`m sure deep down she finds it satisfying knowing it will be the most painful gift I ever got for the season. :p Okay, I feel its fairly obvious where I fall into the categories (An artist, a poet, a musician, and k....). I toil a bit in what few could call music(piano, guitar, + love to sing), art, and writing(OMG NOT POETRY). My biggest talent if were to be considered one would be my obsessive compulsive disorder issues of obsessive list making and hand washing. Luckily for you, I am also quite organized and label everything, so it is pick or choose what to read/find out about me. ^^ I am actually just finishing my degree, a double major in psychology and sociology. I just started learning how to play the piano a couple years ago and picked up a guitar to start trying to learn this last year. I just started drawing again at the beginning of this year, being inspired by Jacks sketchbook he left at my place. I also enjoy Working Out, Watching Anime(>130 now), Occasionally Fencing, Frequent Gaming, Rock Band, Playing Dnd, Reading Comic Books and Web comics, Manga, Fantasy books, and Articles. I am also Trans and a Bisexual, and have been involved and volunteering in the LGBT community for five years now.
