Z-Day Chapter II(Not Finished, Never To Be Finshed)
The mysterious man and I stood outside of the cell, he was holding up his lantern so we see each others faces, apparently he wanted to tell me something. He had on a gas mask with red lenses, it looked ominous as hell in the dim light of the lamp.
"My name is Austin," he says "you can call me Mr. Death."
Huh? Mr. Death? What a fucked up name, is this guy really gonna kill me? I need a weapon. I looked around for a weapon and saw in the man's hand was now a nail bat, with six sharp, bloody nails stuck in the end.

Z-Day Chapter I
I felt a slight jerk in my chest as I ran down the street, sweat pouring down my face, I was at a shortness of breath. I stopped at the next intersection, I heard my brother screaming at me; "Minato, hurry! They're coming, they'll kill you, hurry!"
Hearing that made my eyes bulge, I immediately sprang back up, running as fast as my tired body would allow. Just then it felt like my heart was trying to force its way through my throat. I had stupidly tripped over a small piece of debris. My hands flew above my head, I hit my chin on the hard concrete. I looked up and couldn't see my brother, he left me, I tasted blood. Everything got blurry, I flipped over on my back, and in the last bit of consciousness I had left I saw a lumbering figure, I felt a huge pain in my face, and blacked out.
I later awoke staring into utter blackness. I looked around and saw the same lack of light. There was a faint and rhythmic sound in the distance, I listened close, trying to focus on what it was. They were footsteps, loud ones. I turned my head slightly and added to the now louder footsteps was a faint light from what I could only guess was a hallway. As it got closer I analyzed the shadows, they looked like bars, I was in a cell!
Bro, you were wrong. I think to myself in a sarcastic way knowing I may die soon. I tried to pick up my arms and heard a slight jingle, chains.
"Dammit!" I yell aloud and the footsteps got louder, and faster, it was running now. I bowed my head, this would be it, I shut my eyes tight, waiting for Death to come, a knife, or, a sword, or a gunshot, but nothing. I opened my eyes slowly, feeling a moment of peace, until I looked up, there was the outline of a man, and down where his hand was there was a small glint. He unlocked the cell doors and swung them open violently, he walked up to me and shoved something into my neck, I expected Death to overcome me, but ti didn't, instead there was a light headed feeling, he took my blood.
He pulled something out of his back pocket, it was too dark to tell what, he inserted some of my blood into the machine, there was a series of soft beeps, and one loud one, he knelt down by me, unlocked the chains, and helped me up.
"You're clean," the outline says in an unemotional voice.

Update [28/8/09]
Ugh... I'm bored in a way, my just left to go party with her friends while I'm here watching TMZ, so I have come to the conclusion of making a blog update, EGAD what a blog is actually meant for. I may not do these too often you may notice like a two week jump between updates but I'll so my best. I kinda felt I had to do this because I've had like three reviews and a rant since I started school again and I figured I should mix it up. In this blog I will talk about school, games I'm looking forward to, the next review, and my new novel I started.
Right not much to say about school, it's school, boring old school, nothing too important has happened, but I made it through the first week only 35 left to go. No new douche bags in any of my classes yet just the old usual dee bags who annoy the living piss out of me.
The first game I'm looking forward to is The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, because hopefully it will be a sequel to one of my favorite games on the DS Phantom Hourglass, and this game has trains instead of boats, you have trains so the 'Spirit Tracks' are actual train tracks, interesting.Next is Dissidia: Final Fantasy, what is there to say this is a fan service game, all the good guys and bad guys from FF are having a huge battle, have I must.
Now we have Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, the main reason I want his game is because again it is a sequel to one of my favorite DS games.
And finally is Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, mainly want his one because the other PSP MGS game sucked the big one in my eyes, and hopefully some of the newer mechanics from MGS4 will be taken over to this game.
Last bit of the update my new novel, I can't say much since I only started it a few days ago and I'm only on Chapter V, but it should turn out half way decent. It's about me my friend Austin a.k.a. KillingTheLivingIsOnlyADayJob, and another character who joins or group named Minato form whom the story is told. So yeah I will work more on it later, and the next review is LoZ: Phantom Hourglass.
TSIOO
Goodnight and good luck

Riaru's Reviews: Professor Layton and the Curious Village
This is a review of a game from what is planned to be a six part series, the first three are currently out in Japan, the fist two are out here in the states and the forth is currently in development. The story in a nutshell is Professor Layton receives a letter from Lady Dahlia the former wife of the now dead Baron Reinhold, in the letter she tells him of the Baron's last riddle, he has hidden the Golden Apple somewhere in the town of St. Mystere, along with the remainder of his fortune. Layton being the puzzle solving genius that he is decides to go and check it out along with his young apprentice Luke. Not one of the best stories, but the fact that this is a puzzle game with a real story and not just a string of math problems or riddles and there are reasons for you trying to solve these puzzles, and quite a few are either gained by talking to the villagers, or related to the story.
The gameplay is a basic point and click fair you use the touch screen for movement and to examine/pick up items, as well as to talk to people. When doing the puzzles you either have to write in a text or numeric answer, or circle an item, or maybe click something. It's all pretty basic but works and the way you do puzzles and what not is done well enough for the controls not piss you off.
The graphics are really good, they remind me of Persona 3 only with an old English cartoon instead of an anime, there fully animated and voiced cutscenes, in a DS game, that was pretty revolutionary I guess, and during the conversations there are no voices but there are slightly animated stills of the characters, which are very nicely drawn. Overall like Persona 3 the graphics aren't fantastic technically, but they do have a very good art style.
Sorry this one was a little short, but it is time for the closing thoughts. The game will take you about 10-12 hour just to beat it, but also there are over 100 puzzles and you can attempt to uncover them all after beating the game, you can just roam around talking to people and clicking on everything like mad trying to find those tricky hidden puzzles. Overall buy it, and buy the second one, support Level 5 they're great people who make great games.

Shatterd Memories Indeed
Yup, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Now before the ranting actually begins I would like you to do me a favor, okay? watch the two trailers below. Alright?
Silent Hill 1998 E3 Trailer
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Hands On Demo
Now I would like to ask you: do these two games look anything alike? No? Well that is quite awful considering that Shattered Memories is supposed to be a Wii PS2 remake, which in all honesty I don't mind. But instead of Konami and Team Silent it's the hacks who made the absolute piece of shit Silent Hill: Origins. MY GOD!!! What were you thinking Konami giving these assholes the rights to your franchise AGAIN?! Honestly I will be picking up the game to see if the statements I've made in this rant are upheld once I actually do play the game. But from comparing the trailers and what I've seen of the gameplay.... well this may just make me hate this more than MGS: Rising.
It is nice to know about the psychology thing but that's probably not going to be handled well. And the scares like in Origins will probably be cheap ass jump scares.

Riaru's Reviews: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII *SPOILERS*
Alright now begins a very long and bitchy review. If you are a fanboy of FFVII or Crisis Core hen please DO NOT read any farther!! You HAVE been warned. Okay the story and characters. The story stars Zack Fair vaugley established character briefly mentioned in FFVII, who was Cloud's SOILDER buddy. The story begins in a pointless training mission. YAY! And from there it goes as prequels go with slight hints at the future story and cameos for all the fanbos who will jizz their pants at the sign of 8 year old Yuffie. Okay as far as stories go this is not very great, especially as far as FF stories go. The Square Enix attempts to develop these characters but in the end I really didn't see the point, we all know what happens to Zack's sword, and who gets it.
The sound is halfway decent, with quite a few remixed and reused tunes form previous FF gaames. The only song I really have a problem is the battle song, it's okay for a while but it never changes and gets boring after a while. Now, the only real problem to me for the audio is the dialogue, this is quite bad honestly, the lines are pretty awkard at some points. And until Zack kills Angeal and stops acting like an arraogant asshole his lines are pretty bad.
Okay, this will be the section where I type for the most: the gameplay. Alright the first thing is the combat, now GameSpot and IGN are saying that the combat in this game is like Kingdom Hearts, to me this is a lie. Although they both are the button mashers Crisis Core has the Fusion Materia thing and that's okay but I'm here to complain. Let's start with the HUD, you have HP and MP which you should all know what those are, and then the EVIL little yellow bar at the bottom, the AP gauge!!! This is the most useless stat in the game, first off you pay to block, WTF here, what the fuck is the point of paying like 1 point every nano second so you end up running out the 5th time you want for a chance to block the enemies attack. And about an hour through the game, you get a move called Assault Twister, which costs about 5 AP to use and takes about twice as long to use as the normal attack, meaning you could do the same exact damage quicker and for free. Next is the DWM...... This is the little slot machine in the corner which is constantly spinning. This damn thing takes the place of the Limit Breaks, Summons, and leveling system. There are no EXP points in the game, and you level up by getting straight 7's in the slot machine when you randomly get a Modulating Phase, I don't even think I have to explain what is wrong with that. And to get a Limit Break during the Modulating Phase if you get three faces of the same character to do a limit break that you can't skip ever. And the Summons may be the worst of them all, the first summon you get is Ifrit, and in the first three hours after getting him I was finally able to use him. And that is because RANDOMLY during the RANDOM Modulating Phase will you be able to use them if you get three faces of the summon, and if you do not have summon then do you still get to use the summon? NO! You use a generic extremely lame ass move. And one more thing before the graphics section, there are these stupid little side missions you can do that are made to artificially enhance the game's length. Really Square Enix, you make long games all the time and you have to inflate this one with these stupid ass missions.
Alright the graphics were saved for last since this is the most optimistic this review will get so I saved it for later. The CG cutscenes do look very good, even the in-game graphics, and runs very well. And overall the game is a piece of shit with a random leveling system and a button mashing mess of a combat system.

Riaru's Reviews: .hack//G.U. Vol. 1//Rebirth
.hack//G.U. Vol. 1//Rebirth is the second .hack series by Namco BanDai Games. The game takes place in 2016 on an MMORPG named "The World". In this game there is a player named Tri-Edge and when he PKs you, your character is removed form "The World" and your real self falls into a coma. Tri-Edge PKed the main character Haseo's friend Shino, and she becomes a "Lost One". After which Haseo vows to become stronger and defeat Tri-Edge. After becoming stronger Haseo later confronts Tri-Edge, and fails epically. Tri-Edge uses the illegal move "Data Drain", and reformats Haseo's character sending him back to level 1. Haseo sets out to find a greater power since he finds out that brute strength alone cannot defeat Tri-Edge. On his search he discovers the power of Avatars and that he is one of the Epitaph User who possess these Avatars. And thus he sets out and attempts to defeat his mortal enemy.
The characters are for the most part the characters are likeable, but the minor characters only seem to get a shallow development and a one sided personality whilst Haseo, Atoli, and the other BIG important characters get their goals and pasts stated. This especialy upsets me with the characters of Endrance and Matsu. Matsu is the unit 7 captian of "Moon Tree" guild. He used to be a PKer, as stated by "Moon Tree's" guild master states. Unfortunately the game does not delve very much into his past. Same with Endrance, he had a cat that was precious to him, but the cat died, I think, and the virus trying to take over the game AIDA took the form of Endrance's cat almost brainwashing him into helping AIDA. Unfortunately we never actually learn why this cat means so much to him. Oh well, what are you going to do?
As far as graphics go there really isn't that much here to say. They look pretty fluid. The animations are pretty alright. There is no chibification, all regular character models. The style reminds me of an anime which is pretty cool considering that the game is based of anime. Maybe in the future I will review .hack//SIGNS, and .hack//ROOTS.
The gameplay is fairly simple X to attack, O to guard. However the battles are not random, there is a set amount of enemy parties that walk around, most of them guarding chests. If you manage to get close to the enemies without them seeing you, you can press the X button and do a suprise attack. There are a couple more noteworthy things, there are special moves you canuse called "Skill Trigger" by pressing R1, and on occasion you can do a Ren Geki Finish, which is a more powerful slowed down version of one of your "Skill Trigger". And the final noteworthy feature is that you can generate a random area at one of the transporters in the towns.
Well dear lord, that was about an HOUR of fucking work on this review. Ah well, long ass review for a long ass game. It is 15+ hours and takes quite some time to complete. I am a pretty avid RPG player, and uh, yeah it took me 16 hours and 39 minutes. I would reccomend it to most RPG fans.

Updates Part 2
Wow 2 updates in 1 day. Holy shit, that's like a record. But um, not too much to say but in my last post I said I would review .h//G.U.//V1: R, or .hack//G.U.//Vol.1: Rebirth(aw fuck AGAIN!) and the second one. I said it would take a little while but I have thought and made a estimate at how long it will take. I'm guessing another week maybe a little more.
I also mentioned I may get Okami, for PS2. I will have to wait a while for someone to drive me to GameStop, but once I get it I will try and beat as soon as possible, and make a review. I heard it was about 30+ hours. Ugh, about another week guys. On a side note I got a couple games for PSP and Beyond Good and Evil, which am close to beating, just stuck at the end where I have to go pearl hunting again. But review of that and Resistance: Retribution and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus. So yeah see you again, and I still can't believe I updated twice in 1 day. Damn what is wrong with me?

An Update
For my birthday I got the first ,hack//G.U. game as well as a few other great titles I will not go into to detail about them here however. I'd say I'm fairly close to the end of .hack//G.U.//Vol. 1: Rebirth, dear god I hate typing that. And as soon as that is done I'm going to migrate my save file over to .h//G.U.//V2: R which is short for .hack//G.U.//Vol. 2:Reminisce... oh dammit. And then once that is done I will get to work on a review of both games.
And another noteworthy topic yesterday I got 25 dollars for my birthday as well, which will go towards... you guessed it a game. I think I may spend it on Okami a game developed by the now extinct Clover Studios who sadly were shut down by Capcom after the release of God Hand. I've got high hopes for Okami and I hope they are met if not exceeded.
Do keep in mind that .h//G.U. and Okami are all very long games and will take some time to complete. Thank you.

Riaru's Reviews: Final Fantasy III
Yes Final Fantasy III, game that has been occupying a lot of my time lately. I guess it is pretty addicting for me to have stayed up two nights in a row playing it. So yes onto the story of FF3.
The basic story is: the main character Luneth falls down a hole in a cave. After completing the first dungeon you meet the first crystal, and he tells you that you are one of the chosen ones along wiht three other characters: Arc, Refia, and Ingus.(you meet them all fairly early) Then must go on an epic quest to free the remaining crystals and restore the light to their world. So yes this is the plot in a nutshell, very basic but it does what it has to to set free to explore dungeons. The characters have some hint at personality.
The gameplay as with most of the FF games is turn based battles. In combat it is very simple you use the d-pad to select a command and "A" to input. It controls like most turn based RPGs usually do, not bringing too much more to the table. However, the real diversity lies in the job system. In which you may pick the class as some would put it of each of the four party members. The default job "Freelancer" is pretty crap. "Freelancers" can use low level weapons, armor, and spells. But the jobs later like: White Mage(healer), Black Mage(attack magic), Summoner(can use summons), Ranger(Archer) and so forth. In case you are curioud my party usually consists of a knight, black mage, white mage, and monk.
The graphics are quite good, especially by DS standards, honestly this looks as good as Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. That and the visual style and designs of characters and monsters is pretty good as well. Sorry not as much to say here. :)
In closing the game should take most players about 10+ hours to complete, meaning it is a fairly average length RPG. And is good to take on the go. I would reccomend it to FF and RPG fans alike.

Updates, Side Quests, And Plans For The Future
.... I made a new Twitter account..... What the hell is wrong with me... Be strong I can live through this. http://twitter.com/RiaruJones
And just because I feel like it Austin a.k.a. Killing The Living Is Only A Day Job's Twitter (Go ahead and laugh ^.^) http://twitter.com/KTLIOADJ
And another noteworthy venture is that about a month ago I beat The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Woot! Then a few days ago i decided to start a 100% run....
Ugh! This is the most annoying challenge run I have tried. Right now I feel like giving up, I only just got past the Temple of Wind, and wasted about two hours doing the fishing side quest for a Heart Container and still didn't complete it. God do I want to give up and do a normal run but I shall not compromise and I shall not surrender, ever! I'm lucky I have a strategy guide to help me with stuff i may miss. Soon after Phantom Hourglass I may push myself to do a "No Alert" Run on MGS3, on European Extreme difficulty. This might be tougher than LoZ: PH, but I'll find out soon enough :D.

Metal Gear Rant!
Yo.
I'm a little pissed off right now. Because I recently saw the new E3 trailer of Metal Gear Solid: Rising. First off all I have to say is the asshole who is standing next to Mr. Kojima, the guy who looks like he has a dead ferret on his head. That guy, all he fucking care about is all the money MicroSoft will make with the new MGS game on the 360.
And also I am very fucking pissed about the new main character.... Raiden. First off it probably will be a action oriented game. The fuck is wrong with you Kojima?! Seriously WHY?! WHY Raiden?! Why an action oriented title. Seriously this is MGS we're talking about.
Not to mention the fact I abslutely hate Raiden now because all he is, is a Gray Fox rip off. I should have known this would happen ever since he got that sword in the second game. This is why I started to have a firm dislike of the character Olga Gurlukovich, because she ended up in a cyborg ninja costume. Fuck! Talk about ruining a character.
In closing, I do not have very high hopes for the new Metal Gear Solid: Rising. And once again we stress the issue of no number in the title. Only a subtitle. "Wow he is still stressing this?" You must be saying to yourself. Yeah well shut the fuck up. It greatly pisses me off.

Have I Been Ignoring You?
Perhaps I have. And I apologize. Please do forgive me. I was planning on updating yesterday, but I think I may have gotten food poisoning or something. It was horrible, couldn't keep anything down, kept throwing up. Damn. But I feel better today, in fact I just ate and haven't thrown up since last night.
Good news. May have a new review or something in a few days. Please do give me a while to plan this out. I am not very pleased with my new reviews. I seem to be rushing things a bit. So I shall start working on a new review tomorrow. Just got over being sick, still need a little time to rest.

My Thoughts On Death Note
It's really good so far. I'm up to episode 12 and I am very much enjoying it. I really like the character of Light. He is so diabolically evil and yet when he interacts with other people he acts very nice. And the realism in this is it seems forced. Like when he is trying to find out a persons name and I'd bet he just wants to flat out kill them without the Death Note. Ans also the shinigami Ryuk who is the one who "dropped" the Death Note into the human world, because the world of the gods of death is very boring. Even though Ryuk drops the Death Note and Light finds it Ryuk is not in any way on Light's side. And he absolutely refuses to help Light. Willingly.
And I had heard there are two live acion movies... wow, I'm going to watch them but man my expectations aren't high at all. Ryuk, although he looks like Ryuk he's a crappy CGI effect. Those movies probably suck the big one.

Holy Shit Breakfast At 1 A.M.
Boy, am I really bored. Well haven't posted in a couple days so.... thought an update would be appropriate. First off, I tried out Left 4 Dead. It was pretty enjoyable, and the best zombie game since... well... Dead Rising, which btw I have played as well and equally enjoy. Also, L4D is one of the most innovative FPSs since say Bioshock. Not saying L4D is too different from the norm, but is better than anything in a while. Finally after about two years of having Ledgend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass I have beaten it. LoZ:PH is probably the best game on the DS. 'Nuf said. And I just had some Cocoa Krispies for breakfast... or a midnight snack... now I truly am confused!!!!
YAAAAAAARGH!!!!!
TIME PARADOX!!!!!
YAAAAAAARGH!!!!!

Breaking The Twilight Of A New Moon's Eclipse
As promised yesterday I am going to load up the FAIL gun and take a shot at the Twilight series. I have planned a 5-point rant. If you like this series in any way then please DO NOT read this, or you will be angry, then hunt me down and beat me to death with a copy of Twilight.... the paperback edition.
1. The Plot- Teenage girl hates step-dad. She moves to Spoons or some shit with her real dad. She arrives at generic high school, and instantly everyone likes her, and all she can say is: 'Oh, no, I'm no one special please I don't deserve such attention'. Then she meets beautiful "vampire" Edward Cullen. Then there's an attempted rape scene, some fight with someone or another, then they sparkle happily ever after.
2. The "Vampires"- So apparently in this piece of glorified fan fiction no previous vampire lore is FALSE, and "vampires" sparkle in the sun instead of bursting into flames. Also apparently all female "vampires" are sluts, and all the male "vampires" are teenage sweethearts every girl wants to be with. And they have fucking venom. WHAT THE FUCK?! And possibly the worst part: THE FANGIRLS CONSIDER THESE SPARKLY FAGGOTS TO BE REAL FUCKING VAMPIRES!!!!!
3. Bella- Stephenie Meyer is a 46 year old woman, and she did NOT right a seventeen-year-old girl, she wrote a 46-year-old women. Bella does things a 46-year-old would like, she listens to music a 46-year-old woman would like. I guess all I'm trying to say is: STEPHENIE MEYER CAN'T WRITE WORTH A DAMN!!!
4. THEY MADE A FUCKING MOVIE?!- Why?! WHY!!!??? This is the worst possible book you could adapt to film. Because the book breaks the golden rule of creative writing: SHOW DON'T TELL!!!! So this movie really should have been Bella standing there telling you everything.
5. The Fangirls- These bitches are fucking crazy!!!!
Well that's all. I hope I've furrowed a few brows, and made some people lol.
That's us for now.

Bursting From The Chest Instead Of The Womb
I know in my last post I said that I would maybe talk more about Snow Dead, but I shall save it for either later or tomorrow, because my post 'Zombie Nazis, Angry Veterans, and Mind Controlling Aliens' I mentioned the movie/novel Dream Catcher which btw is by Stephen King. It really got me thinking about the 'Alien' movies which now I just really fell like typing about, so here I go!!!
To me 'Alien' a.k.a. the first movie, was really good. And that is about all I can say about it, because no one likes a positive review. I can also say the same thing for the sequel 'Aliens' which is quite clever. Because you see in the first one there was only one alien hence the name. In the sequel there are multiple aliens(if you were next to me I'd be bumping you with my elbow and saying 'hah, hah')
Right, now down to what everyone wants to read: the negative reviewing:
Do you remember the clever titles I told you about in the second paragraph, well form the third film on they were replaced with numbers and cliche subtitles. Hell I can't blame them, what were they going to call the third one? 'More Aliens' or 'Alienses'? I guess they just ran out of fucking ideas, but seriously what the fuck is wrong with just the number, why the cliched fucking subtitle. I think I only need to tell you one thing so that you would know this movie is bad: That bitch that played the protagonist from all the bloody Resident Evil films iis the main character in this film.
And on a side note AVP1 was okay and at least enjoyable, but AVPR(Another ass subtitle) is just fucking stupid!!!
Goodnight and Good Luck.

Zombie Nazis, Angry Veterans, and Mind Controlling Aliens
Today, I saw the 'horror movie' Snow Dead and it was about Zombie Nazis, and a guy getting his balls bitten off by a Nazi zombie. Which got me thinking about Dream Catcher and the fact that I saw the movie and am currently about 200 pages into it. And I was thinking about the scene where Jonesy picks up Pete in the Arctic Cat and the alien takes over and Jonsey eats Pete and before he eats Jonesy eats him Pete tells him 'Bite my bag.' and Jonesy replies 'Sure, I'll bite 'yer bag, and everything else.' and then eats Pete.
So, uh, yeah.... yesterday I saw Gran Torino which I will now spoil for all of you so if you have not seen it click away... now... or I'll spoil it... Right I only really have two things to say (1) This is Clint Eastwood's best performance and his best movie, this is better than Million Dollar Baby and any other movie he has performed/directed in. And 2 the ending was great, Clint goes to the Korean gangs 'hideout' and yells and starts cussing them out calling them gooks and all kinds of racial terms, then pulls out a cigarrette and makes a gun with his finger then asks for a light and says 'That's okay i gotta light.' and when he puts his hand in his jacket the Korean dudes just start unloading on him. He falls to the ground and the lighter is in his hand, he didn't even have a gun, so all the Korean gangsters get arrested.
Well that's about all I have to say for today so no more posts until tomorrow, i may have one more today saying a little more about Snow Dead, but yeah bye for now.

Game Shows Are BullShit
I mean seriously they can't be making much money anymore. Does anyone besides old people watch these? GSN(Game Show Network) really pisses me off, because they haven't been yanked off the air yet. I mean does anyone really care about 'Wheel of Fortune' or 'The Price Is Right'? No I didn't think so. The main reason they really make me fucking angry is because they only show re-runs form the '80's and have nothing original.
Now, just so I won't have to blog about this later, I hate reality TV. Ya' wanna know why? Because it isn't fucking reality, if you put five people in a house that hate each other and they decide for no reason they want to fuck, then you've got some good TV, but there's one problem: IT'S NOT FUCKING REALITY!!!!
And 'Survivor' is just fucking stupid!!!

Drink Regain
Or Old Snake will CQC your ass. BITCH!!!
Okay silliness aside what in the hell, I know it's a joke and that it's like a health drink in MGS4 but Regain is a real energy drink. This is taking in-game advertisement way, WAY too far. Oh, and also the Mac products in the game:
Okay so the pic of the Mac wasn't very good, but you can clearly see the Apple logo. And the ipod isn't for show, no not at all, it is a real in-game item that you can find and play music for. In-game adverts were always there but this isn't really an advert this is promotion what the fuck is up with this. Oh, and the icing on the mothafuckin' cake Kojima wasn't sued.
Wtf here!!!
And a little bonus there is a PSP and PS3, unfortunately I can't find a picture but look it up and you'll see it.
MySpace
The hairy back of the internet. No not YouTube, that's the armpit. When I joined with my original account it was a lot of fun. Finding people I know and messaging them, but after 2 months I realized my bustling metropolis of greatness was really a run down dump with a cheap layer of stale PineSol over it to hide how horrible it really is. The stupid conformist fucks taking pictures of themselves at a diagonal angle in their cracked mirrors, having their shit My Chemical Romance or Linkin Park as the only song on their playlist. Teh fAkt tat thay tipee like thees, and that they wear that shit Hollister.
In conclusion these lamer ass posers piss me right the fuck off. Well, I think that is enough venting rage for now.
