Double Irony

This weekend, Ricky and Vinh’s friend Jimmy came over, and we played Burnout Revenge. That game still has a lot of stuff to unlock! I’ve completed all the events, but we still can reach new medals and new scores and get new goals and stuff, so that game has plenty life left – and it’s still so much fun.

Double Irony

At one point, we were playing one of the crash type games, and there was a level that had a side road, which is a big curve around a big gap. There was this ramp, so you can jump from one side to the other. The ramp is surrounded by buses, and the ‘landing’ was also surrounded by buses. We tried a few times to jump with the ramp, but most of the time we failed the jump.

Ricky’s first try ended with him crashing into a bus by the ramp. So we joked; “You know what would suck? If you jumped, and then you made it, but then you hit a bus on the other side.” Ricky replied, “Oh, that would be ironic.”

Indeed. Hitting a bus on this side of the cliff would be the same as hitting a bus on the other side, except with all that work in the middle. So that was the irony.

And then Ricky succeeds the jump, but just hits a bus on the other side. That was the second irony. Heh.

Anyway, that was a fun, yet uneventful, weekend. Also, just before dinner, I decided to play some WOW with Jia. We did a few quests, and this other Elf Druid was doing the same quests we were, so he joined our party. I would say, that was certainly more fun than solo-ing. It’s more fun playing with other people indeed…

…although… in a party, a rogue can’t build up combo points because everything dies so fast, so it’s… not as exciting for a rogue, it seems. Anyways, that was a good use of 2 and a half hours...

Anyway, I was just reading some blogs, and now I have an idea, a thought… but now I have to go through some philosophical thoughts before I can act on it…
