The Rise of nothing original
Posted on Thursday, September 4 2008 @ 20:06:03 Eastern

I have noticed something. I've notice that the movies being created right now are movies that make fun of other movies ex. Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Scary Move,etc.  Not only are they just those kind of movies, but many movies that were classical with fantastic actors are being recreated or many were based on a classic tv show, such as Speed Racer, Live Free or Die Hard, Underdog,Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles etc.

 

Are you serious? Now people are literally running out of movie ideas. They're getting nothing original, They're now making films about video games, One of the first film i ever saw of a video game was,  The Super Mario Bros back in i can't remember 1990 or something, But now they created a Final Fantasy Movie, Resident Evil, even Doom with The Rock in it.  Now let's go look into the future, we have a Gears of War movie coming out and Even a Bioshock movie.

 

Let's face it, were all on the bad side of this. The movies now can't come up with ideas, and we're so stupid we waste our money to see this...whatever it that's not original. So in a way, we can now all and take a blame for something

It's Alright:Hang In There!
Posted on Thursday, August 14 2008 @ 10:36:02 Eastern

From playing on Xbox live each and every day, i came to found out that many people damage their own console or controllers by getting repeatly slaughtered or losing extremely bad in a game.

Most people have a tendacy of flipping out over the most outrageous happenings on Xbox Live. I have experience many, so i'm going to share a couple with you that somehow made me laugh at the person playing

Gears of War Battle: When playing Gears of War on the map Canals, many people try to go to the sniper point first. Well, as i at the sniper point i spotted one person. I then aim carefully like i do and BOOM!! go their head, but there was another person left that i didn't realize. As it turns out i shot two people's heads off in one shot from the longshot rifle. When the round ended, they were yelling at me calling me a modder. One went as far as slamming their controller and breaking it. You could of notice it because you heard the smashing of the controller from the mic, and then seeing the person not move from their spawn point.

Halo 3 Battle: As i was playing on the map Blackout, many of the gamers have indeed already experienced the level without realizing it. As i was running through waves of fire i saw the point score, It was 47 to 42 with my team winning. I then turned around stuck someone with a plasma grenade and they turned into spartan goo (actually they didn't they just went flying because you can't blow up a spartan and turn them into pieces like in Gears of War). As it turns out it was indeed  a triple kill causing my team to win. After the battle they were so angry you couldn't understand what they were yelling. It sounded like the foreign soldiers in Call of Duty 4:

 

So basically Many people will get mad at the game. I have a tendacy to do so as well. But, please remember it's just a game. I know now not to let my darkside out on the game when i lose, because i don't want to damage my controllers. So if you lose a battle, It's alright, cool down, there's another match you can join. Just hang in there and cover your soldiers. Be a lone soldier, be a sacrafice, just don't get your anger gets the best of you. Specially if you don't have enough money to replace it, then what would you do?

Press Your Luck
Posted on Tuesday, August 12 2008 @ 21:09:13 Eastern

So basically after i saw the midnight launches for Halo 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Madden 09 etc. That many gamers are actually buying games to continue a series of that franchise rather than trying to look a for a new game in hopes of liking it.

It really makes me mad when gamers will criticize a game that they haven't even play, I know for a fact that many people have made rude and cruel statements toward some of my reviews for games such as Kingom Hearts II. I never played the game but, i was always watching my friends and relatives playing it. From what i saw i made a review of what i found to be a terrible game. I then played it a month later realizing my mistake.

So now instead of buying a game people have talked about. I instead rent newer games, download demos to see if i might be willing to be a great consumer of purchasing a game that might as well be a piece of ****.This is what really disappoints me. People will wait to purchase a game continuing a part of a series rather than trying out new games. Yes some may be a piece of crap but you have to take a chance and press your luck of buying a game. If not then what kind of gamer will you be?
