Fuck Capitalism

This is a early morning convo between one of my best friends and myself. Reading through old posts brought back nostalgia, and Sadness. He died about a year ago, and it hurts whenever a new game comes out because I always loved these stupid semi-serious rants we would get in. (this is copypasted from aim so it might be hard to read)

Pfft, You mean to tell me that if you clocked 20+ hrs and someone deleted your data. Then was like "its all good, you can play with me" You would want to go through with that?

I never said to delete your data. Did I? No. I said install it on your PC and join in a multiplayer game with your good pal Joe. But instead you were all "Fuck that, I've already got ONE character on a different system and refuse to play with you, homo.".

Nah nah nah, thats what it seems like though. not so much deleting your data. but STARTING OVER is the hard part. cause sure I could install it and play with you. But I would be so bored, doing the same mishes over again, The game while it has some really good gameplay and multiplayer...replay value is in the toilet

And when someone promises something in a video games and delivers some halfass POS with new features and fresh gameplay is bothers the living fuck out of me
2:17 PM
IE Borderlands

I never listen to promises or shit when about new games.

I just wait for the shit to come out and play it, make up my own decisions.

2:19 PM
I was so excited for it, and they gave us a fuck ton of weapons and shotty multiplayer with no incentive, NO FUCKING WATER EFFECTS!!!! a crappy story that just fucking ends with no explination. Characters with no backstory, talents that mostly mean jack shit unless its increased loot and health. Weapons that look so fucking similar they might as well be the same thing
2:19 PM
Oh I can go on and on
2:20 PM
If Dragon Age dissapoints me im done playing video games
AIM
residingterror
2:20 PM
Hahaha, yeah I've heard that the storyline is really shallow and shit. The game is just kill shit, get new gun, kill more shit.
2:20 PM
But it's fun to pass the time with.

IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN THAT!?!!?!?!

Zelda is not something to pass the time, Final Fantasy is not something to pass the time. fuck it Castlevania is not something to pass the time
2:21 PM
Its an adventure, a interactive book. I new fucking world to explore
2:22 PM
Games like this should never be something to pass the time

they should be something you are willing to dedicate a part of your life to, just like a epic book or movie

2:24 PM
But you don't get it. That's not what this game is about. Not every game has to be an epic movie with a great story and shit. The gameplay is fun, and brainless. It's the new-age version of those games.

You've got to get off your high horse and take this shit for what it is. They market things like that, and say they spent all this time making it like that to get people to buy their games.

Dude games died with PS2
AIM

And just because you're one of the people who doesn't like the watered down shit it means that you're just pissed that every game company out there doesn't cater to what you expect a game to be.

2:30 PM
Haha, but thats exactly whats going on. lol I should get paid for this, I mean other people do ^_^
2:30 PM
Dude but honestly, Tell me what was the last game that you played that was fucking epic. Like you wanted to play it in your bones.
2:31 PM
Im talking like Star Ocean TTEOT, or Zelda OCOT
2:31 PM
Like you just wanted to get home and play the fuck out of that shit
AIM

Give me a second. I have to think back on what I've been playing. I've not been playing a whole lot. Sacred 2 has been a lot like that for me lately, though.

2:32 PM
None of this Halo shit. or Devil May Cry 4. Im talking, like you eat sleep and breathed this game

Dude, I don't even like Halo and DMC.

then you beat it and you just wanted to start it over right then and there
AIM

2:33 PM
I've only beaten a handful of games ever, to be honest.
AIM
XionAwakening
2:33 PM
Like THATS what Im looking for in a game. that level of epic. and those games were made of Fractions of the budget that these POS are made on
2:33 PM
Im not expecting every game to be like this
2:34 PM
but when developers are excited and are comming out with concepts that are radical and fresh. then deliver a steaming pile of cat puke. I would be ashamed to put my name on it
AIM
residingterror
2:35 PM
Okay, look at it this way. The game industry is EXACTLY like the movie industry. Those overly polished looking graphics and explosions are the equivalent of Michael Bay's movies. No need to have a huge deep storyline because the less money they spend on that the more money they can spend on looks and marketing. It's just how shit is.
AIM
XionAwakening
2:36 PM
I understand that
AIM
residingterror
2:36 PM
Entertainment is dying. So just ride the waves because people like you and me that yearn for that deep game or character driven epic movie that has a true story worth telling are an extremely small percent of the population and there isn't really anything we can do.
2:36 PM
I take the gems when they come at me, and live them up, but as for the rest I take it for exactly what it is.
AIM

2:36 PM
Dude but we CANT be the only ones.
AIM

2:37 PM
I'm not saying we are.
2:37 PM
But we're part of a very small group of people.
2:37 PM
We're a lot like the green party.
2:37 PM
We're outnumbered, and don't have enough pull to do shit.
2:38 PM
We can wave our dicks around and scream as much as we want but it won't make but a small dent and STILL there will only be rare gems because we're a rare people.
AIM

How the hell are we the minority, when we are the foundation of everything thus far?
AIM
residingterror
2:39 PM
Because we built it, and then the rest realized that they could make a fuck ton more money if they cater to the majority, so they do.
2:39 PM
Why the fuck do you think movies like Transformers are so fucking huge?

Kinda bummin

Most people who have been around know my life has been up and down.

Leaving my parents, living with my now ex girlfriend for 6 years. Still living with her after we've broken up.

My good friend Joe dying, then my uncle a few months later.

Kicked out of the one school I wanted to go to, because I couldn't get my grade 2 points higher.

I just want this to work with krys, I haven't wanted a lot in my life, and not much has made me truely happy. She has Done just that and with just her smile.

Dear gas customers

There is no way that we can discern your gas total from other peoples of you only tell us the discount you got on your gas..

Please stop driving if telling us what pump you are on is too difficult for you.

Thank you.

Shit just got serious

So, just found this nifty app. It's almost certain that I'm going to post more while I'm on the run, and at work than I will at home.

This will make my blog 1000x more active than it has been. I also apologize in advance, my posts will probably be short, single ideas. Or something crazy that has happened overnight at my store (more or less the latter)

For tonight, I'm finding it increasingly more difficult to tell people buying toilet paper at 2am to "have a nice night" :-/

NEW MUSIC SATURDAY!

Hmm, is it a thing? It might be a thing. Lets make it a thing. :)

Well here it is "New music saturday!" Where I take a title that I feel is either obscure or something new to me and post it here for everyone to drool over.

Oh yeah and that review thing will be here too.



Why? Has been a favorite of my for a few years now, with the dream-like tunes belting over seemingly random yet meaningful lyrics. Yoni Wolf has more wit with his words then I ever would at the tip of my pencil.

Quick short to the point. (Kinda spur of the moment, they will get more in-depth as we hit next week)

Anyway, lemme know what you think, and if you want more of the same or something different.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

Most of the people I know come to me for game reviews because I have nothing better to do then play everything that comes out.

Heh, Guess it's a good a time as ever to start reviewing on here.


The VS scene has been a small niche in the fighting genre. The games have always been sought after because of the clashing of fighting styles and seeing there favorites battling it out to the death. Marvel VS. Capcom 3 is no different.

Riding on the coattails of mvc2's massive fame. Mvc3 seems to have potential but is looking for dlc to save it from the launch's shortcomings.

The graphics.
Beautiful 3d models, following closely to street fighter IV's art style compose the characters and npc's. Iconic stages, spanning from Kattleox Island to Umbrella Corp and Camelot. Most of the characters have their own reprective stages uniquely tailored to the game world they reside from.

Controls.
I had doubts when I heard of a "special button". The controls are simplified slightly to allow even the newest of players a fighting chance in between the horrible beat-downs that veterans can dish out.

Your standard hard and light attacks have been combined to their respective buttons along with the "special" button. Bumpers have been mapped with team tags. Triggers for ground and air recovery.

Special moves have been super simplified to most being two forward fireballs( down down-forward foward) and two attack buttons, or variations of the like.

All in all, the controls are a bit getting used to. They give more enjoyment to new players while allowing the vets to continue to do what they love.

Characters
What the shit guys....
Seriously??? The roster has been cut in half.
The problem is I don't have an issue with any of the characters In the game, I have a problem with who ISN'T.

Zero,Amaterasu,Spencer, arthur, dante, Trish,doramammu, super skrull. Just some of the notable entrees.

Who isn't in the game? Venom, Ken, dan, megaman(srsly??) beast, cyclops, blackheart, ruby, little red, son son. I mean come on guys...

The only hope I see is them pumping out dlc characters. As of this post Jill valentine( not the original :( ) and shuma-gorath have been released, both for 400 ms pts. But to get to the roster of mvc2 your looking at at least another 40$ of dlc :(

Modes
Standard arcade, versus, online versus.

Two new modes, shadow battles and event modes.

Shadow battles pits you up against an AI that is built around a actual person, whether a programmer or a professional. The difficulty varies with the limited choices but as it develops it should be good.

Event mode augments your arcade and online matches. Giving you objectives "complete arcade with diminished hp" or " only combos 5 or higher deal damage" these make the arcade mode brutally Difficult, and accomplishing one unlocks a bragging title for online fights.

Its a good game, but as is it is a shell waiting to be filled. More characters are a MUST to increase the longevity of this title.

I recommend a purchase if your a fan of the series or looking for a decent time sink. 2-4 player recommended for maximum entertainment :)

Critical comments are appreciated. Pictures and videos for the next review

Holy shit.

Why can't I get a hold of the combos in MvC3? I always end up spamming shit towards the middle as my ADD kicks in. My character looks like a spaz as I get comboed to fuck in the air with no way down.




GAH, Why do I play fighters? I'm so bad at them.

Timeflux

I've always wanted to get into the mixing scene. A good portion of my friends are all about it. Timeflux is my buddy Richmond, and he's got some talent for sure.

A-FUCKING-MEN!

“When designs get inbred, they no longer are good designs--they only work for the people that have played all the previous iterations of those designs. I'm a huge fan of RPGs, but modern console RPGs like Fallout and Oblivion have really bastardized the design into something that looks similar to the old games we love, but don't actually work on their own merits. Yet I still played both of those games because I understand RPG conventions. I thought they were both boring, but I played them nonetheless, probably because RPGs are an obsessive compulsive affair. I have a hard time believing that someone who is new to RPGs will really enjoy them. On the other hand I really like the new Assassin's Creed multiplayer. It's not perfect, but it's genuinely fun, and it feels like it was designed from the ground up as a game and not just an inbred variation on a formula.”
