okay, so.
as some of you may know, i like to rot my brain with a little piece of nintendo crack called "animal crossing wild world."
for those of you who may not have played animal crossing, it is a cutesy little sim-type game. you have a little town, you plant flowers, you decorate and upgrade your house with all kinds of items, etc, you fish, you collect bugs, you grow fruit trees.. manipulate the environment, etc.. participate in town events, so on and so forth. the difference is that, because it is so cutesy, all your neighbors are precious little animals. they do funny things, they say funny things.. the whole thing is, well, cute.
so i've been playing this game off and on, sometimes religiously, over the last couple of years. i've had hiatus times - once when my DS got stolen - and i've had to completely restart my town (named wubbiton, after my favorite sweatshirt, wubbie) from scratch on a new system. anyways.
today, after a 5 month hiatus and all my flowers dying, etc., i find out that my hard work over the last 2 weeks has paid off... my town has finally returned to perfect environment status. i'm happy. everybody's happy, the weather is nice (beautiful sunset in wubbiton today), and i'm out and about watering my flowers. when THE sound happens....
...the sound of gulliver, the elusive martian who flies by very, very rarely in his UFO. i have seen this son of a bitch maybe 5 times in 2 years and have never shot him down (with my special golden slingshot, not regular slingshot). i was at the bottom of the map, so i whipped out the slingshot and RAN LIKE HELL to the top. i made it in time to shoot him down before he disappeared for anther 5 months.
slingshot shoots. i watch the impact and subsequent shaking/falling of the ufo. it crashes with a screen-shaking THUD, and i wait to regain control of my character, with an OMG OMG YES YES YES *fist pump* type of excitement. Then I go back to waiting.
and I wait. the happy music returns and plays.
and wait. still happy music. my character is still just standing there with her back to me, slingshot by her side.
the mother fucking son of a bitch thing froze. it fucking FROZE, i tell you. for the first fucking time EVER in all of my mother fucking animal crossing history, the goddamned mother fucking son of a bitch game FROZE. i couldn't even hit START to save my game and quit. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME TODAY? I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET BACK ON ANIMAL CROSSING TRACK FOR ALMOST A FUCKING YEAR (as of September), AND THE MOMENT EVERYTHING GETS SHIP SHAPED, YOU'RE GONNA RAPE ME LIKE THAT?
FUCK YOU NINTENDO. FUCK. YOU.
/caps
i cannot BELIEVE that my first ever DS game freeze has to be RIGHT after I shoot down Gulliver. so, a few minutes after the reset, he flies by again, but i could not make it to him. it was impossible. i won't see that mother fucker for 5 or 6 months more, I GUARANTEE IT.
i'm sorry if this sounds petty to you, but it fucking pisses me off. this is the perfect demonstration of my luck, because i *always* have bad luck. always. ask any of my RL friends. the dumbest, random shitty shit on the planet happens to me. or my best guy friend adam.
LAME.

Also, for some reason I always thought Animal Crossing had something to do with running over animals with cars. Seriously, I thought that's what that game was.
