Lacking in Fantasy....

So... I've got 2 hours in Final Fantasy and all i can say is... WTF?! Its lacking in originality, I see so many of the other games in this one. From the start of the game on a train as freedom fighters... Final Fantasy VII anyone? To the point where that main character put her sword away in a sheath oddly shaped like a buster sword.

Aside for the familiar feeling of playing this game before, all this characters are just ridiculous and over the top! Lets start with the names; Snow, Lightning, Hope, Vanille, and Shaz. I guess they couldn't call her Vanilla cause that would have just been too weird? This character bugs me the most because she is what I like to call a "squeak toy" character. She's designed for all the pedo fans of final fantasy. She makes more noises then words, and most of the noises she makes, aside from being completely useless and out of context of ANYTHING, are semi-erotic grunts and noises. Why does she makes such noises? I keep asking myself that question every time the camera is on her. Aside from that, the actor CAN NOT keep an accent going on her. At first, i thought she had no accent. Then, i the middle of a sentence, she switched to an British accent, which makes no since seeing as there appears to be no foreign lands here. Then, a few lines later, she has an Indian accent. And at some other point, she has an Australian accent. And she''ll constantly switch between those accents or have none at all. This character has no real point in the game, at all. She is there to please the pedo's, that's the only reason i could see her being there. She is the fucking Jar Jar Binks of this game.

Then there is Hope. Hope is the most emo of all J-RPGS i have ever seen. He literally falls to the ground and huddles up in the fetal position and cries where there is a loud noise that surprises him, and that IS NOT an exaggeration. He is suppose to be on this mission to kill Snow for killing his mother. This is forced drama at its finest. He's"desire" to kill Snow makes no since, figuring as it was the Pulse item that forced their family to go into the "Purge," it was the government that was going to massacre them all, there were monsters trying to kill them, and that the mother died while trying to protect the child, because, i kid you not, the child almost started crying when someone tried handing him a gun. All snow did was ask for a few volunteers to help hold off the government while the rest were taking to a safe place. And don't think for a second i am trying to defend that fucking two sided, action line spewing character called Snow. There is NO reason for this character Hope to have the desire to kill Snow, when over 50 other things where trying to kill him and his mother that day. Even when he meets and travels with Snow, he cant even bring himself to talk to Snow, much less seek his "revenge."

Shaz. Shaz is black. And the game will give you every chance to see that Shaz is black. He fights with 2 pistols, which he normally has turned sideways as he fights. Cause, as we all know, those pesky sights on the gun are just a suggestion. As for his clothes I cant deiced if he just stepped out of an episode of Shaft (though i am sure that is where his name came from) or if he is on his way to a black panther meeting. This character constantly toe the line of stereotypical with his hair being almost a fro, firing his guns sideways, and lines that might as well be shortend to "What you taklin' bout, Lightning?!" But, despite this, I find that this is the character I hate the least. I hate him the least because he constantly has to ask "Why?" much like i am, and much like the game, there in no answer given. And he asks why at the most appropriate times, like "Why do we have to fight this giant monster that hasn't attacked us and is ignoring us and poses no threat to anybody?" or "Why are we moving in a direction that is obviously going to take us into dnager and trouble when this path will take us where we want to go without the hassle of fighting or wasting time?" or "Why are we constantly splitting up if we are all being hunted and someone is trying to kill us?" This character feels out of place, cause he seems to be the only one trying to put some thought into what they are doing. Not just rushing out and killing everything cause it twitched.

And now we come to that ass hat, smug, action line spewing, what the fuck are you thinking, more narrow sighted then a Republican eating apple pie and watching Glenn Beck character named Snow. I hate, hate, HATE HATE HATE HATEHATEHATEHATEHATE this character. The last thing i did with him was fight a summon and once i fight the summon, i got the right to use it, and what did it turn into? A FUCKING MOTORCYCLE! A. FUCK. ING. MOTOR. CYCLE. WHY?! WHY GAME?! WHY?!? And you name it Shiva?! Are you fucking kidding me?! Why is it the last thing i did? Because i had to turn off my xbox and walk away. It was too much. A fucking motorcycle. WHY?! This is FUCKING STUPID. This is just the icing on the pile of shit that is this character. This character is suppose to be a "hero," and he constantly reminds you of that by someone calling him hero every 3 mins if he is on screen. But how am i suppose to believe that he is a hero when less then 30 seconds after he lost more then 20 people fighting for he is laughing and cracking jokes. He is laughing WHILE you can see all the bodies of those he just led to there death. This guy is no fucking hero, he's a god damn villain pretending to be a hero. No only that, but he looks like a god damn Kingdom Heart reject character. And how does he know how to fight? Well, he had a small seaside cafe that funded his anti-government group. Yeah... FUCKING STUUUUUUUUPID! And how is it that a man wearing nothing but leather gloves is suppose to defeat men wearing full metal body armor and guns? How is he not mowed down every time he starts running right at them, yelling some cliche action line?! i cant even get into his "love" story, it fucking hurts my head every fucking time. FUCK. THIS. CHARACTER.

And, finally, Lightning. I don't care what they say, this charter was written up to be a man, and they changed the model at the last second to make it seem different. It's fucking Cloud. Angsty, quite, and retarded. The most shallow, ripped off character i have seen in a while. This is the long fabled remake of FF VII. Except boring.

Yay!

Completed my 100 person tour! Goooooooooo me!

Fucking Saint Patricks day

I hate my room mate right now. My room mate had a Saint Patrick's day party (And I'm really starting to think he is the patron saint of drunk douche bags and future wife beaters) and it started to turn into a party where 80% of the people there were friends of friends of friends of friends. So, of course, people were getting too drunk. And a fucking fight broke out. Since it was my house, i ran out there to stop it. While i had two guys separated, i was apparently sucker punched three times in the head by some black dude, which knocked me the fuck out, and was proceeded to be punched while on the ground. Go fucking me. I fucking hate drunk people to begin with, and i fucking hate parties. I only let her throw a party here cause she begged me and promised to take care of everything and keep it under control. Saw how fucking well that went. Now i have a black eye, several other bruises on my face, and random cuts and bruises on the rest of my body. And what did she do after that? Help take care of me? Break up the party? Ask people to start leaving who we didn't personally know or would cause a problem? Nope. She started making out with a dude and took him to here room. Leaving ME to do all that AND start cleaning. And once she was done with that dude? She passed out. I had to stay up til everyone left, start cleaning, and take care of the left over food and drinks. Go fucking me. I hate my life so much right now.

Gah....

So, I finally broke down and got Final Fantasy XIII. I feel like a cross between a douche and a pedo. Every bone in my body told me not to get this game, that its a JRPG and that i am going to guess everything that happens, but there is the very angry little video game nerd inside me screaming for great story line and interesting, developed characters.

Little Angry Video Game Nerd; "DO IT!!! Im tried of all this crappy run and blow shit up game!"

Me; "But... Im too old for a JRPG"

LAVGN; "Hey! Final Fantasy 7 and 9 were really good! well thought out and had interesting moments.... minus the fan boys and creepy fat woman who write fan fiction... and smell like meat... but the games were good!"

Me; "Yeah, but im going to be made fun of by all my friends who see me playing it"

LAVG; "Your friendship are built on hatred."

Me; "Hmm.... fair enough..."

LAVGN; "And seriously, how many times are you going to get stabbed in the face by some little 12 year old, tea bagged, and then called a fag before you realize you suck at most those "manly" games and go back to the role playing games you love?'

Me; "yeah, but-"

LAVGN; "But nothing! Get something with story, characters that arent card board cut outs, and point and shoot. But, since we dont have that, try FF XIII."

Me; "sigh.... fine........"

So, here I am. Copy of FF XII in my hand, getting ready to find out what this game actaully has. Its already got mixed reviews, and this is Square-Enix last shot at making a good game, or going bankrupt. So, to appease that little part of me that has been playing video games since before there were mulitplayer, i play for nostalgia. And remember, nostalgia is never as good as the present. more to come.

Bad Company 2

Is.... AWESOME!! I am NOT a big fan of multiplayers (mainly cause i suck ass and spend most of my time as sniper bait, helping my snipers find the other snipes in games such as Call of Sniper 4: Modern Grandier 2) but Battlefield has come out strong with Bad Company 2 to help debunk Call of Sn- Um, I mean Call of Duty from its weak claim of being a "combat" game. Where as Call of Duty has at least 13 exploits per level, leaving you with a 3 kills, 28 deaths ratio, mostly being blown up, or shot by a sniper, Battlefield decided to say "Fuck it!" and made almost all terrain destructible. I've gained much satisfaction hunting down a sniper with my tank and blowing the fucking wall he is hiding behind and then chasing him down as he flees and crushing him beneath my tank treads. This game leads to much fairer game play, and a lot more for people to do. Call of Duty was mostly run and get killed, or hide in one of the exploits and kill all the ones running. With Battlefield you can do be and engineer and repair vehicles out in the field so that can keep causing havoc, a medic and heal and bring players back to life, or hop in a tank, vehicle, or helicopter and rain death upon all the snipers how think it is a good idea to hide in the open. I am horrible at running out in the open and fighting. But i have found that i am a great tank driver and UVA pilot, and also a great medic keeping my team mates alive and bringing them back when they fall while i take cover and protect. This game allows many different play styles, and the addition of squads and spawning on your squad mates makes an interesting and sometimes difficult surprise to the game. All in all, if you like multiplayers, or if you would like to try one for the first time, I HIGHLY recommend Battlefield Bad Company 2

The Crazies

So, i saw The Crazies today. It was.... generic. The plot, characters, and "horror" could be found in any of the, what i like to call, infection movie. I dont call them zombie movies because to me zombies have to be undead and want to eat the living. These are people infect with a mutated virus that make them do "crazy" things. Some people kill people, some people ride bikes and sing. CRrRRRRRRRRrRrRrRAAAaaAaaAAAAAAAzy? right? OoooOoOoOOOOOOoooooo....

So, yeah... the movie is very forgettable. I want to say something good or bad, but there is just nothing. It's... okay? Everything is predictable if you've ever seen a horror movie. It movies at a decent pace, so it doesnt bore you. There is just a few jump scenes that scared me, but i always fall for those. Umm... i dunno what else to say... Really no emotions, but not a whole lot of overacting. The characters could have been replaced for cardboard cutouts half way though, and i wouldnt have noticed.

All in all, i guess it is an okay movie. If you have 110 mins to waste on an afternoon matinee then I say go for it, but i wouldnt pay full price for this movie. I really like talking more about movies, but I have honestly started to forget this movie and what it was about.. :/

Apartment

Just got myself a new one! Two bedroom townhouse! Washer and dryer hookup, with a two car garage! Sweeeeet

yay..... woot drugs!

So, time to write abouts nothings that mean something to someone, somwhere.

Soooooooo, yeah. My brother is now living with me. Yup, my 20 year old bro is sharing a room with me. Again. So what i was looking forward to when i was turning 25... He is living with me know because my grandfather kicked him out of their house when he found out that my bro stole a ring back in September and traded it for drugs. He just found out about it now. Though my brother is now supposedly clean. My grandmother is now paying part of my rent, and i wont lie, that is a big reason why i took him in. Im unemployed right now and need the extra cash. But i dont know what to do with him. He says that he is clean and he wants to stay that way, but i dont know wither to believe him or not. He told me the first time he went to rehab that he wanted to quit, but he relapsed. I have talked with him and told him that if he starts using again, or if he steals anything, he is gone. I have already given him his second chance. Blah... this is very uncomfortable.

They just do

Why do bitches gotta be crazy?

The Sims 3

Is my only savior from my boredom right now... anyone wanna IM? Please?

Feeling Superbly Average.

So... yeah. Um... Bitch fest? Dont mind if i do.

Could always have it painted over if things change ;)) Im am going to do as much work to it as i can myself, i want as few other men's hands in her as possible. First things on my shopping list?

Re: Bad Company 2

Oh, its designed waaaaaaaaay better. Its takes a little getting used to, but to me its alot of fun, mixed with just enough frustration

Re: Bad Company 2

So...I think I may get it when I have some extra cash. What little CoD I have played frustrated me quite a bit. This sounds like I can use my skill sets to be successful. Not to mention it sounds like it was designed much better than CoD is.
