An old rant

Okay, so I haven't ranted in quite some time, so I really need to vent, and if you don't like what I'm saying, then click the back button because I couldn't really give two shits right now.

The main thing that is making me lose my fucking mind right now, is television. Every time I turn the fucking thing on, theres a new "reality" tv show, or another show that allows people to obsess over celebrities. Look, I enjoy watching pretty people, but why the fuck do people care about what celebrities do, and what they wear, and who they date, and what they eat, and blah fucking blah? For the love of God, maybe instead of wondering who Jessica Alba is fucking, you could read a god damned book, or better yet, jump off a bridge. I dont know why it infuriates me so much, maybe its not normal , but I dont care, Id rather be crazy mad about something like this than sit back and watch another piece of shit tv show about how some spoiled celebrities like to buy 8000 dollar bags to carry their dogs in.

Oh, and yeah, its very old news, but if one more fucking person says "Superman that hoe" to me, Im going to buy a chainsaw and start cutting mother fuckers in half. No, I will not Superman that hoe, no I will not Spider-Man that hoe, Im not going to any of that dumb shit to anyone, especially not a hoe, they have it hard enough as it is.

And heres the one thats gonna ignite some serious shit. I hate Family Guy. I hate family guy with the fiery hot passion of a thousand burning suns. I like some dumb shows, I like Aqua Teen Hunger Force for gods sake, but if I have to hear "Hey Brian, remember the time.." again as some retarded collar-popping douche bag quotes that fucking abomination of a show while he orders his Big Mac in McDonalds again, Im going to lose it. I have a small chuckle or two when I watch the show occasionally, but for the most part, that show is the biggest pile of dogshit. Non-sequitor humor is meant to be used sparingly, not to be every fucking joke. No Peter, I dont remember the time you were doing something fucking stupid that involved some random celebrity.

Fuck this shit, Im going to go listen to some Boston and think about a world without reality tv, Family Guy, and Soldier Boy, yes I spelled it Soldier, because Im not going to fucking acknowledge the retarded ass way he spells his name.

Flash

Let me just say, that it probably wasn't the best idea to choose to do my final animation in flash, seeing as how I have never used flash before....sigh.


This is going to be one hell of a couple of weeks.

Art

So, when I get the chance, and have work Im proud of, Ill start posting my animations and drawings for any and all to see...which will probably be around 2-3 people...a year.

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core

So, I finally beat Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, and I must say, bravo Square-Enix. Despite my fears that this game would be below average (Im looking at you Dirge Of Cerberus), I was pleasantly surprised. Actually, I could go so far to say as i was blown away by the games story, which I thought would be nothing new to me, seeing as how I know FF VII begins.


The gameplay, while a bit repetitive at times, is solid, and enjoyable for the most part. The combat is slower than I expected, but at the same time, infinitely better than I thought it was going to be. The game plays a bit like Kingdom Hearts, in my opinion, it plays better than KH, but that isn't the point of this post. Basically, the gameplay is simple to figure out, and keeps you hooked.


The plot, now that is the meat and potatoes of this game. This game takes the FF VII plot to a whole new place in terms of knowledge of what actually happened before FF VII began. The characters are well developed, and as the game progresses, you find yourself more and more attached to characters that you thought you might hate. Let me just say this, if a game can make someone as fucked up as Sephiroth seem like a good guy, then it has my vote for storytelling of the year. I wont go on into every detail, but trust me, the end of this game is one of the most emotional finales I've encountered in gaming.


Do yourself a favor, and play this game if you like FF VII even a little bit, the ending alone is worth the price of admission.
