Susan eats Veg Chopsuey!

Ok this has nothing to do with Susan eating chopsuey hehe. This blog is about a nice time I had yesterday. I was planning to go watch Monsters vs Aliens with Tejas. I also asked Supa to come along. The movie's title is kinda misleading ain't it? Monsters vs Aliens...sounds like some horror "bhoot" movie for those who are not familiar with Dreamworks' title. Well, anyway, our plan was to head for E-square. We were planning to start from here at 12 noon, get the 12:38 train, reach Shivajinagar by around 1:45, book tickets, do some shopping and then watch the movie at 3. Heh. But with the scorching heat outside, was it a good idea? 12-3 outside in the heat travelling like crazy? This is when Kunal comes to the rescue. He showed up at 11 Am. He told me "Why not go to Adlabs Chinchwad? Its nearer. Check the schedule online." Damn, why didn't I think of that? I had only checked E-square's schedule online. So check I did at the last minute. Monsters vs Aliens at 1:05 PM showing at Adlabs. Good to go. Kunal offered to drop 'monkey Tejas' in the forest (part of our evil plan muhahaha!) while Supa and I headed to Adlabs to book our tickets. It was so freakin' hot outside! I wondered if we'd be able to get the tickets but Kunal was like "Don't worry. Aaram se mil jayega. Zyada koi nahi deknewala." (Don't worry, you'll easily get it. Hardly anyone is going to watch it.) And he was right. Stupid Indian public. Haha. There wasn't even a big poster of Monsters vs Aliens. Only ones of Hindi and Marathi movies. Boooring! So we booked the tickets and waited for Tejas to come so we could go inside and relax under the A.c. Finally we went inside. Ah that felt so good. Tejas really looks forward to watching Dragonball: Evolution, but I'm like "its gonna flop, its gonna suck; its gonna make the real db\z\gt fan suffer from embarassment and regret!"

Tejas: You don't like Dragonball?

Me: Wtf!? The movie hardly has anything to do related to the Db universe? There's no Krillin! Piccolo looks like shit.

Tejas: Yeah there's no Chichi, but I wanna watch it.

Me: Fine. Enjoy watching it in theatre and let me know of your wonderful experience.

So back to Monsters vs Aliens, the movie was fun to watch. Some parts were funny, some were pretty cliche, Susan was hot and Derek was a selfish jerk. I loved B.o.b. The cockroach mad scientist did his evil laugh too many times. Can't say much about the missing link but he had his funny parts too-"A convenient truth".... Overall, it was a fun movie, though the trailer had given me a more interesting impression than the movie actually did. But it was fun watching.

After the movie, we went to Crosswords. We bought plenty of comics. Here's a pic showing some of them.Yes, WTF! (You'll find out soon why.) I love the "Six issues for just Rs. 99/-" offers at crosswords. Problem is, you won't find out which random issues you've got, until you open and see. Tejas bought Archies, Nights into Dreams (cool series) and World Almanac for kids. Okay. Supa got some more Archies. I went for the "10 comics for just Rs 99/-". Couldn't resist. I hoped I wouldn't get crap in it though. Last time I had got Archies and ended up with 2 of the comics being fucking Scooby Doo.

I was getting very hungry. Supa decided to go home. Tejas decided to hang around with me. He was getting hungry too. McD was crowded, so we went to Yo China and had Veg Chopsuey (where were the pineapple slices the menu had promised?) with Pepsi. It was fun. Stomachs being filled (somewhat), the feeling of relief and satisfaction from hunger and some interesting conversations were what made the eating part worth it. After that, we took a six seater to Nigdi bus stop and an auto home. We reached home at around 4:30. Time for load shedding. MSEDCL morons...

So let's see what we got in this 10 in 1. Spider-man. Check. Thundercats. Check. Dexter's Lab. Okay. Comic version of an episode from the show. Been there done that. Jonny Bravo. Wtf! No! Avengers. Check. Jonny Bravo. WTF! Again?? SH**! Ultimate Spider-man. Check. Batman. Check. Santa and Banta with Trendy First edition. This is pretty cool stuff. You can see the cover in the pic. Its cool and funny. And now, ladies and gentlemen, time for the crappiest of them all for which the number one  WTF is reserved for. You can see it in the pic (left side).  "Bollywood: The Ultimate Chase". W........T........F....... seriously. Why would I want to read a stupid Bollywood comic? The artwork is good though; But its Bollywood, so for me its crap. So we read comics until it was time for the MSEDCL morons to restore the power. Then we played some Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Devil May Cry 3. It was fun as always. :) Then at around 8 PM I got a call from Kunal saying he didn't have his class, so he was in Nigdi near Vasu wada pav. I met him there. Tejas was busy playing Devil May Cry 3, so I told him to continue playing till I returned with Kunal. We ate some wada pav and took some thick shakes home, which we all  enjoyed along with some Smash Bros. After a few matches it was time for Kunal to leave so I dropped him off at the bus stop. 

Bahut mazaa aaya. 

Game point!

Yesterday was a very enjoyable day. One of those days I looked forward to. I got a call from one of my friends saying that their exams were over and we could meet up and have some multiplayer fun. I agreed to the notion and was looking forward to it. The plan was that they head to my place by 1 PM. They did. Met 2 good friends after a very long time. Time to have a blast.

When they came over I was busy playing Onimusha 3. One of them was like "Dude! Give me this game!". (Both their names are Vishal; let's call them Vishal 1 and Vishal 2; so here Vishal 2 asked me for the game.)

I hadn't configured project64 so started doing that. I couldn't find the proper plugin for Mario Tennis, since it was on my old computer and I was lazy to connect the hard drive here. I thought it would be easy to get it on the net, but nope. So we decided to play some Mario party first.

Booted up Mario Party. I chose Mario, Vishal 1 chose Wario and Vishal 2 chose Luigi. If you're looking for a fun party game, Mario Party's the name; Trust me. Loads of fun and laughs. One of the plus points of offline multiplayer is that you can laugh out hard at friends when they are screwed and vice versa. And we sure had a lot of laughs. A lot! Laughter is the best medicine. (There you go lol; I always wonder why people use proverbs in statements; Is it to show how smart they are? Or just showing off?) So were busy for around 1 hour trying to collect coins, stars, steal some and overthrow the other fellows. I was going to win, but Peach (computer opponent) got lucky and won.

After that, Vishal2 revealed his 8 GB pen drive (virus included) and plugged it in. He took some stuff from me. While the data was being copied, we watched a bit of Bruce Lee and Shaolin Kung Fu and a bit of Dark Knight as well. We also had some nice hot tea while we watched.

4 PM. Time for a power cut. MSEB didn't forget. We expected the power to be restored in about an hour, but it came back in 15 minutes. We decided to go out to get a snack. We met up with another friend, Sameer, who also joined us as we headed to Foodland. Burgers? Rolls? So close to my place? Wow. Had no idea and hadn't bothered earlier until now. So went inside and ordered 3 veg rolls and a chicken roll. Sameer and the Vishals got into a discussion about CS and LAN. I told Sameer to bring his laptop after my exams and we could have some LAN gaming. Ah, our rolls were ready! Yum!

Next, the plan was to have burgers. 3 veg burgers and a chicken burger that would be. I went to collect my burger. ~Static~ Ack! The moment I touched the plate I got a static shock and I let go of the plate. Damn. The burger fell with cutlet and stuff on my jeans. Damn what a mess! I lost a burger there. :( But the owner was kind enough to get a me a roll in place of the burger. Lol this time I was a bit hesitant to take the roll from him. "Don't be scared. Take it." I was bit embarassed about the incident though. Might have been the plastic chair I was sitting on. He was kind not to charge for the wasted burger. Next time I want a burger or a roll Im gonna get it from Foodland. Its so close by. Anyways...our tummies filled, we went back to my place. I again looked for the plugin for Mario Tennis but in vain. After browsing through my CD wallets, I finally found a backup CD. Ah good! We finally enjoyed a few matches. It was real fun. Lots of laughs, solid gameplay, multiplayer fun, funny comments and 100% enjoyability; everything that Mario Tennis offered. Awesome game. Vishal 2 wanted Populous: The Beginning badly so I torrented it and found it. 308 MB. Downloaded in about about one and a half hour. Wow. My net's speedy nowadays. We played some Smash Bros rounds while it downloaded. Vishal 2 played as Kirby while I played as Mario and then later, Link. Vishal 1 chose to watch. After the download completed, we gave Populous a try. Pretty cool game. At first I found the sounds and voices funny but its a pretty good game. Mission accomplished for Team Vishal. 8 PM. Planning to have more multiplayer fun and LAN gaming after my exams. After they left I had dinner. Aamti, rice, fried papad and batata bhaji with onions and garam masala. I was happy. I look forward to more multiplayer mayhem after my exams.
