Final Fantasy: Sucking Ninja's Life Dry Chronicles.

- Ive been asked multiple times if i had played or am playing Square-Enix's
newest Final Fantasy, Crystal Chronicles for the Gamecube. Actually, ive
been playing much of Crystal Chronicles. I really liked it at first when
it hit in august auf der Lund von Son Risen but it was a bit confusing.
Everything was in Japanese and there were a bunch o menus which were nearly
indecipherable. It kinda fizzled in interest with me. Then it hit us Amerikanischenlichlichemachmachmachs.
Now that i could READ everything and KNOW what the hell was going down
i started to really liked it all over again. It reminded me of the my first
like. The fist time i told someone... i LIKED them. Its so hard to say,
those three words, 'I like you.' <sniff> Anyways, so after putting
a whole lotta hours into the multiplayer and nearly double that in single
player hours im still enjoying it. As im too tired to keep my fingers on
their duty of tip-typing im going to refer you to another doctor. Of gaming.
Here
little chillins. Listen to what Ol Tycho has to say about the beast thats
been sucking my life dry over the past few days. Pretend what HE says is
in fact what NINJA says. Its point for point accurate anyway. Who knows,
maybe i had somehow teleported my very THOUGHTS to impose over his like
the big bully of brain waves and he then, as he often does, posted these
thoughts as if they were his own. Or maybe he formed his opinions on his
own sans paranormal psychic craziness. I liked my story better. I like
stories.
...
- ...
- ...
- Oh, yeah. You prolly want some Ninja ramens or something. Well, ive
yet to beat the game buuuut... ah what the hell.
  
Honestly, ill be back to write up some of my own thoughts on the game.
Just right now my eyeballs are failing to lubricate themselves as my body
is slowly, system by system shutting down its parts soon to be ended asleep
with my face pressed neatly across the keys of the number pad, slobber
inching it's way to the keyboards sparky insides.

Something of an impulse is this post... of course arent
all of them. Anyway, my bro is here visiting from UCLA and with him he brought
this CD that is really quite good. I wish it to each and every one of you
to listen also :D The name of this chick is Sara
Bareilles and what a voice what a voice. Why is she not signed yet?
Do the record companies know she has a large dog, sharpened teeth and nashing
jaws? I have to admit, one of my guilty pleasures is listening to this kinda
music. And making faces at people driving past me in their cars on the freeway.
I mean, what type of Ninja AM i if im to be listening to this kind of stuff?
Its got that soul and heart that i need in small doses that the garbage
on the radio more often than not does not provide. Some of the more delectable
tracks off the her new EP
(Careful Confessions) are City, Red, Responsible and Come Round Soon. Hell,
i like em all actually. She soulfully works around her sound with such articulation
you'd soon forget she doesnt have high-priced producer in tow. On the site
there's a bevy assortment of listening goodies to which one could sample.
I believe the site also is the selling point of her discs and something
like a shirt too. CDs and a SHIRT! What more do you need in life? Food and
sleep aside. |

Interesting. Interesting, really, why do they call them wisdom teeth if
they dont have the damn sense to remove themselves like the rest of your
teeth with less adequate intellect but are automomous with their own extractive
properties. Why do people insist on watching Inuyasha
in fucking horrid english. Anyways, its also rather interesting how my
face, while still half numb almost 10 hours after the surgery from the
novacane, isnt in much... pain. Nor has there been any swelling. I read
the little sheet of "do's" and "don't's" and it looks
as if the worst is yet to come. Ill be sure to take a pic once my face
explodes, though. The good that has come out of all of this: since im left
to eat cold, non-solids ive been chowin down on Avacados and Yogurt. 'Course
the paper says no dairy products but i say, 'hey, im a chinaman who lives
on the EDGE.' The EDGE of eating yogurt or not. The bad: im sleepy as hell
thanks to all this medication im on. The good: my memory is a bit short.
In response to a thread
about "Losers that Win by Any Means Necessary" (it should be
noted to read his original post before reading mine. There's also a link
there that goes into what i am saying in more depth and has little to better):
Playing a game any way a person chooses IS his fucking god given right.
Not that YOU have to play "cheesy" or "cheap" whatever
that really means. I, myself choose to play by certain rules to help better
my playstyle. If its in the game, its IN the game. If certain people choose
to abuse certain parts of it then blame the game not the player. If you
dont like losing then you are playing the game for the wrong reason. Fucking
kids. Given this was obviously written with MvC2 in mind. Why even bother?
Personally, i really enjoy playing people with the same style as me but
if a person chooses to not simply stop playing with him. Or find a way
to beat him. Well, or shutup. Pick one. You'll be a much happier and potentially
better player because of it. |

- You'd think with a title like that, I'd be talking about politics,
eh? Well guess again. I'm right back into talking about video games before
ya' know it. And here we goooooooooo...
 PS2: Sphinx and The Cursed Mummy
  
- I rented this game only a few days ago, and as I write this I have
already beaten it. That's not to say I didn't like it, however. I pretty
much just played the hell out of it. Although, it could use a few more
extras in it to eat up one's precious school/work/responsible things time.
The look of the game is close to astounding. The design of the characters
is top-notch... very imaginative. The actual rendering is very smooth,
and the animation is as well. The puzzles (which there are plenty of) are
actually very fun, and thought-provoking. Sometimes they get tedious, however,
because of the way they are set up. This game ended up frustrating me quite
a few times, as I'd come up short on a jump simply because the designers
put the intended targets juuuuuuust in reach. A lot of times you have to
time your jumps perfectly. Thank god you aren't killed outright when you
fall into a pit. The combat system leaves something to be desired. The
camera often points in the wrong direction at the beginning of battles,
and when it comes down to it, you really only have to swing your sword
a few times to defeat most opponents. This brings me to camera problems,
of which there are many. It's a little clunky, too slow, and often points
in a direction that leaves you controlling blind. All in all, a good rent.
Good story and great ideas executed in a slightly above average manner.
Definitely a good rent!
- There. I posted. Happy now?! HAPPY?! Now I must finish an entire book
and write a six-page paper on it by Monday. I hate all those that cross
my path until it is done. I'm apologizing in advance. Toodles!!

Howard Dean had a lot of momentum building up.
So much, in fact, that I could care less about him or his ideas. After
all, he was another loser Democrat I knew would curl up and shrivel under
the might of the Bush Regime, er, I mean, "Administration." It
wasn't until his infamous "Red-Faced Rant" in Iowa that I took
notice and said "wow! This guy's hardcore! I want to hear more!"
Did the rest of the nation share that sentiment?
No.
Instead they backed away and lavished their attention on Sir John Kerry.
Remember four years ago when nearly EVERYONE was complaining about the
lack of a truly inspiring candidate in the presidential race? Everyone
griped and pissed and moaned about how Bush and Gore were two soggy, uncharismatic
milquetoast politicians who could never rile passion and concern for our
country and it's issues. Well, cut to now, when a candidate comes barreling
down like a bat out of hell and crackles with fire in front of a crowd,
and what do the people do? Abandon him and embrace a soggy, uncharismatic
milquetoast politician. Dean may be a tool but at least he was a tool that
was interesting to watch. I'm tired of being stuck with leaders who look
like they're trying to sell me a time share in Tahoe. I want energy! I
long for the days of populist candidates who stood in town squares and
screamed about how we're gonna drive those "union busting capitalist
scum outta Washington" and then puffed on a big cigar. Why's everything
gotta be so watered down? Are we that complacent and afraid of change that
we just decided to leave the tap on lukewarm because god forbid we get
startled by a sudden burst of hot or cold water? And how dare you American
peoples gripe about the lack of inspiration in mainstream politics then
run and hide when it rears its ugly (albeit entertaining) head.
Fine. Vote for Kerry. Vote for Bush. I don't care. Four more years of boredom
and bad decisions I say (this is why I'm in the Green Party). If you want
fiery, get-up-and-go political figures VOTE FOR THEM! And if you want leaders
with about as much life as Droopy The Dog (although far less cute), then
quit whining and deal with it. But don't pine for one and fuck the other. |

- Really, id like to announce my admiration for avocados. Really. Nice
one there, god. Platypus not so good but you have a winner here with them
avocados. Id also like to dedicate this post to the new Quizno's
commercials and deal. Basically what you can do is bring in ANY coupon
for whatever the hell you want be it oil changes, rectal cream or toothbrushes
and they give you a buck off your sandwich. To drive this deal into our
brains they have devised a short series of commercials that almost put
Strongbad's worst to shame. Given you have to get the site to work as they
have more traffic on Gamespot when square announces another sequel to a
sequel they had sequenced a sequentially celestial second ago. Shit, when
are those fuckers ever not making non-original games these days. And i
say "fuckers" lovingly cause i cant wait to get me some of that
Crystal Chronicle Co-op. Thats like 5 or so days away or something. Werd.
Ive not had a POST post in awhile so i guess NOW is as good a time as any,
right?
Right, a little less than a
week ago Pixar and Disney announced they are no longer bumpin uglies as
Pixar is escaping and cuttin it on their own. I really hope they finish
up with The Incredibles by this year if ever. Hey, guys, you need writers/voice
talent? I love you.
That Halo2 pic of "multiplayer"
Bungie released to keep the masses from storming their studios with pitch
forks and torches almost looks TOO good, if you ask me.
Wow, i cant believe Beats

- Garfield...
- really now people... I like the strip the move looks fucking fuck fucking.
Thats all i have to say about that.
- Sky
Captain And The Fairly Long Title - this one could be sweet or not
so sweet depending on how much sugar they use. Me? Im all black, baby.
- Twisted
- From the director who brought us such hardcore, cop thrillers as The
Right Stuff and The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
- The
Girl Next Door - a little too close to a project i have a bit part
in. I think i like this trailer cause it has boobies and Teenage Wastland
playing in the background. OMG, i think i just unlocked the formula for
the perfect trailer...!!

I figured I'd test my comic-making mettle against my friends. It
was only a matter of time. Ninja did spruce it up for me a little, as he's
a good buddy... but make no mistake... this is pure ShinHobbes right here!
Oh... and one time, someone told me that starting in the middle of a sentence
can really grab the audience's attention. Did it work?! |

he sticks around :)] |

Jesus, the list of things to talk about is so fucking big right now. Being
too busy in other important things (like playing nightly LAN halo matches
till 3 in the morning) but i promise to be back with some morsles. In the
meantime here is a little blurb i wrote to a bunch of fucktards about the
movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, a movie no-doubt has either a
sweet spot in your geeky inards or a sore one. Read on. ...Final Fantasy
movie had alot in common with the games. Aside from the same director of
ALL the FF games (sakaguchi) and sharing alot of the same designers, it
had heavy themes in Love, had an orbital space cannon, had a Sid, contained
an epic world-wide battle for an ideal (human nature vs nature), no real
"bad guys" everyone was justified, had a group of ragtag duoagonist
to work with the protagonist who are all whisked off to an adventure, the
protagonist wasnt fully sure about self, an empire worked against what
was really right for the world, acentric designs everywhere, everyone traveled
in spaceships, IT WAS MADE BY SQUARE... the list goes on and on. Sure the
movie was a little vague and sappy at times but arent the games also? The
only thing that the movie didnt have from the games were roots in fantasy
not sci-fi. Sure mix em together but know that the ROOTs, the essence is
from a fantasy background. If it had just that im sure all of the fans
who were expecting Squall fighting Sephiroth on a spacestation with swords
as long as row-boats in a blitzball arena shooting magic outta there asses
would shut the fuck up. It was a decent flic, people. |
