Tales of Blatent Consumer Exploitation

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:56:00 -0400

A friend brought this point up not too long ago. Namco-Bandai as well as many companies (Square-Enix is seriously guilty for this.) keeps re-releasing the same game with added content. What's worse 7 times out of 10 those games never get localized and we're stuck either importing or moving on. Tales of Vesperia is seriously guilty of this by adding in content that we honestly should have got on the Xbox 360 (don't care for Patty.).

Now I'm debating on whether to get a PS3 or just say screw that system. Since everything that's on the PS3 appears for the 360.

Finding a new job

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:53:00 -0400

Rather funny for my case.

After realizing it just recently I found out that I never really applied for a job. They were all just handed out to me. LOL. So in other words I never got a job on my own before. Everyone says I did cause they hired me. But honestly without relatives help I would have never got the job. So I'm doing my best to get a new one now. Rather hard work.

Bored...again

Its not really that I'm bored. I'm just in a rut. It's very frustrating. I wanna do some things but just don't have the will or the reason to do them anymore. Kinda pisses me off that things like this is happening to me. Maybe I should do something thats way out of my norm and see what happens.

Um....I think I may be a furry....heheh

It may be just me or something but....I think I am a furry. I'm not crazy like others stereotype them to be. I'm perfectly normal. (as normal as normal gets with gamers anyway.) I kind of take a liking to things like werewolves and other well beast that are in games. I thought mainly cause they prove to be better characters than the common human love/hate relationship. Not saying I don't like humans.....well geez I don't know what I'm saying. Why did I even post this?.... I'm not big of fursuits though.....it doesn't seems right to me when I look at them. Maybe I'm just imagining things again. LOL. I'll know at some point for sure....

Soul FUCK!!!!!

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 05:48:00 -0500

madThanks to the online community and CAPCOM. You can't unhear the phrase "Soul Fuck".

Recently another Street Fighter 4 Gameplay Trailer was released. This time the characters were voiced in english. Seems we'll now have an option to play this in japanese or english voices. Anyway the video of Rose vs Gen appeared. Rose's accent and tone of voice is weird but suits her. However whenever she says Soul Spark (her main projectile move) she sounds like she's saying "Soul Fuck" brought out by many people of the online community. Although some people say they don't hear that. It does sound like she is saying that particular phrase. I fear that the online community now has another phrase to go along with over using (i.e. Falcon Punch). And now thanks to the online community I can't play Street Fight Alpha without hearing that phrase! ARGH!!!!!!

I REALLY hate trolls.

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:45:00 -0500

Just yesterday well really early morning before I was going to bed I came across a troll. Normally I just block an ignore all comments from users like them but this case was different. I tend to make it my policy to read all comments before deleting them or blocking that user (with the occasional check out that channel.) This user at first threatened to have my youtube account suspended by stealing all my videos and then claiming copyright on them. I was in process of blocking the first one but then that person's fake account came on and claimed to try the same thing. Not soon after when I went over to my youtube channel I found some serious racial messages and threats towards me. I had no choice but to go and report the user for such a thing. The user posted "Do you wanna get lynched" (and other such things I'd rather not have in my vocabulary) instead of going all out and flaming the user back I did what I felt was the right thing and report them to youtube staff. I could have went the extra mile and told the cops about such a thing but I didn't. Instead I prayed about it asking God to lend me the strength not to explode with anger on them.

I take threats even if they are jokes seriously my friends know that. I'm not one to take jokes well unless they're actually funny. So I usually don't appreciate comedians that use racial jokes or threats in there routines. Even if they are really funny I try to avoid such things. I've said before that I'm a resonable, understanding guy. There are some things I hate in this world though. I am sorry to those users I reported even if they meant it as a joke I just do what I feel is right.

Wish I had help in MUGEN Character creating.

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:17:00 -0500

I tried making a MUGEN character recently. Honestly I have no real idea where to start. I tried starting with the sprits but then that got rather complicated with the pallete issues. Even the suggested methods of going about sprites didn't really work out well for me. I'd end up with one error or another somehow. Then when it came to making the animation files I have no clue where to start none of tutorials actually got that far. Most I read say it should be straight foward from there. If have a feeling if I can get past that I'll be fine. Maybe I should make an original character instead of an edit and see how that goes. Although that will be very time consuming. Sigh I don't know what to do or what I'm doing here. :( I have a feeling that coding won't be such a huge problem for me. If anyone wants to help out here drop me a line I'll be glad to give credit where due. In the mean time I'll just do what I normally do.
