WAT
Apparently in my late night Monster Hunter adventures about...oh a year ago, I must have written this. I found it on my hard drive when I was searching for a fanfic I'd written ages ago, but instead I cam across this piece of gold from one of my insomnia wracked nights of Freedom 2. I might have been drunk. I'm not 100% certain that I wasn't. I'm not sure why I wrote it, maybe to commemorate my accomplishments for the night.
...yeah, I'm pretty sure I was drunk.

I Don't Care What Your HR Is
...it's no excuse for acting like a self-righteous, all important douche bag who thinks that they can just waltz into a room, take control and demand that I quit my quest that I need for my next urgent so that we can do your advanced quest which does not count towards any real goal at all.
Don't tell me "aww, it's ok, you'll be alright" and try to console me like I'm some little child because I told you I thought you were being rude. Don't tell me "not to die" like you think that because I am the lowest HR in the room that I don't know how to kill a Los and an Ian.
"OH NOES, wait, you don't realize they're gonna be in the same zone sometimes because it's a dual hunt!"
No, actually, I DID know that. I am not an idiot, I can read the quest board perfectly fine, and I am perfectly well equipped for this quest. How about you stop with the attitude and send us on our merry fucking way.
No wait, it gets better: after all of that rude and completely uncalled behavior, why don't you die twice, and have your bastard friend with you die as well and effectively fail the very quest that you demanded be done because "the quest I put up was too easy, so let's do my quest because it's harder and I'm an epic hunter."
And somehow, I end up only having barely been scratched and able to hold my own after you and everyone else randomly ditched me with an angry Los to go after Ian who was in a completely different part of the map?
Epic hunter? More like epic ASSHOLE.
Take your HR 30 and shove it right up your immature, whiny little ass.
Oh yeah, and try not to die.
EDIT: This player's name is extanglo. I'd advise against playing with this brat if at all possible. It's just not worth it.

Uniting Again
After playing Tri since it came out here in the states (preorder ftw), I've been neglecting my PSP and copy of Freedom Unite (my poor Freedom 2 has been collecting dust). This morning, I randomly found that I missed my badass sets of armor, I missed fighting Elder Dragons like Teostra, I missed watching my cats cook huge stacks of food for me.
I also remembered that I had yet to beat Fatalis and that I was working on my Ash Lao armor.
>_>
What. Anywho, I had a little bit of time before going to work this morning since I woke up early, and my PSP was beckoning me, so I sat down on the couch and got immersed yet once again in a bit of handheld awesomeness.
I only had time for a quickie and since I need Heavenly Scales off of Rathian, I did a Goldie, seeing as how I was equipped for it when I fired up the game anyway. Whupped her ass like no one's business and found myself trying to do the newer longsword backslash that lets you sidestep to no avail, but overall, it was amazing all over again and I think I'll sit down with it again at lunch.
I find it not only awesome, but amazing that I can still sit down and play Unite with the same passion that I do Tri. The differences between playing Freedom 2 and Unite...well...there weren't really too many of them to be honest, but they weren't enough to give a different feel to the game. Tri is great, sure, I don't regret my purchase, but it is missing some of the magic that got me into the franchise in the first place. The first time I sat down with Freedom 2 (yeah, late bloomer here), I was at first skeptical as I trudged through the tutorials, but since the first time I ran from a Tigrex in that game, I've been hooked.
It's not the weapons in Tri, it's not the mechanics of the game, because honestly, they've changed very little. Mostly, those things have been rearranged into something that just looks and acts different (I do oh so love the new spirit gauge combo/system for the longsword in Tri, however). I think it may be the monster set...but I can't say for sure. I miss a lot of the monsters from Freedom 2 and Unite. D: Having Los and Ian is cool, especially since they got revamped- I LOVE THE HOVERING THEY DO NOW, IT'S SO COOL, but at the same time it's almost like something is missing.
Nevermind that the 'a' button does not compute when I've been playing on the PSP for so long (to be fair I sat down with the first Monster Hunter on the PS2, just to see what it was like...I liked it. >>).
I think it might be the groaning when I tell the people sitting in the room and playing with me that I need a Heavenly Tigrex Scale.
Seeing this wonderful game on the TV, and not the small screen when you hook the slim PSP to the TV is awesome, I will give it that much. I even love the classic controller that looks like the bastard child of a Nintendo Classic controller and a PS2 controller.
But at the same time, if I'm going to play with friends, it always has to be when they're online, not hanging out at my house (unless they bring their Wii and we somehow magically get another TV to appear), and without the WiiSpeak thing (which I still haven't figured out), you can't talk and chat with them normally like you would with a living room full of people all playing on their PSPs together.
Player 1: Shit dude, my PSP is flashing.
Player 2: Where's your charger?
Player 1: I think I left it in my car.
Player 4: I think there's one by the couch, hang on. *gets up*
Player 3: Oh dude, you're getting mauled by prey. *laughs*
Player 4: Then kill 'em, dammit, I'm busy. *chucks charger at Player 1*
Player 2: He's here, you better hurry.
Player 4: It's just a Khezu, don't tell me you'll fail without me.
Player 2: Oh shut up, I'm always saving your ass.
Player 3: Yeah, she usually is. *laughs*
Player 4: Whatever, Miss Always Needs Stupid Pale Bones.
Player 1: Well, she is a woman.
Player 3: Hey! *laughs*
AND THEN EVERYONE LAUGHS AND KILLS THE STUPID KHEZU TOGETHER.
Player 3 still didn't get a Pale Bone.

What They Said

YEAH. EAT IT.
Also, take a gander at the forum we've got up. Still getting aesthetics worked on, but otherwise entirely functional and rarin' to go. You have to log into the board to see the entire thing, but you can still poke around some of it as a guest.

Back to the Grind
Let me be clear. I love Monster Hunter. I love Monster Hunter more than I love chocolate.
And I really like chocolate.
REALLY.
I love the complexity of some things in the game while it still maintains the 'beat it with a stick' mentality. It doesn't matter that I have to kill 125 Rathalos to get two heavenly scales. Each time I fight him and I don't get it, I get the inkling for vengeance against that prick for not handing it over and that makes me want to whack him in the face again with my sword. Come to think of it, nothing else can really make me try so hard to do something so trivial and yet...so important.
I love the idiots that play online.
Or maybe I hate them.
Probably both.
Nothing makes me rage more than when I see someone lay a trap after a monster roars for the first time and starts tossing a full stack of tranqbombs at it.
Then again, the amusement comes when I realize it's not my items going to waste and that someone else usually ends up successfully capturing the beast after the millionth time the former idiot asked 'it is ready yet?'.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are people so awesome, you cannot define the amount of awesome.
I don't mean folks running around in Fatalis gear. BAH. There are hacks for that sort of thing, that doesn't impress me until I see that you can take down a Fatalis on your own skill without a single mod to your game or PSP.
What I'm talking about are the people who actually are willing to help. Not gripe if you're trying a monster for the first time and they want skilled players. First of all, if the monster is online only...there has to be a first time, and it has to be with other people. Boo hoo on you for getting someone who's new at ONE monster. "Skilled players" refers to someone who actually knows what they're doing in the game. It doesn't specify that you have to be skilled at fighting that particular beast, so stop whining.
Now. Back to the awesome. I love it when people are down for a Tigrex hunt, even though they don't want to do it. They understand you need a carve and they understand that he's a complete asshole when you try it at the higher ranks by yourself. What I love more is a complete stranger helping someone over 10 HR lower than they are get their ugent for the next rank set because the people at their level are being douches and want to cap Great Baggi twelve times instead of trying to rank up. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT.
Yes, there is rage. And there is love. Amusement. Friends. YAY.
P.S. I still hate you Los. You and your whore bitch. Dx
