I’ll start by saying that I’m not back, however, I will be doing a new novel titled Ultra Violence, this novel is about a man who can use pyrokenesis, in a world that exiles psychics. This is all I’ll say about Ultra Violence for now, I will try and upload some chapters, as well as do some more for Z-Day. I’m almost done with Day 5, and when I get the time I’ll finish it.

5. Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2): What is there to say, how could I not have an MGS game on the list, and since I haven’t played MGS4 this is the next best thing for me honestly. I really liked the stealth in this game, the only problem was the menu surfing with changing camo, and it happens all too often. Read the rest of this entry »
{UPDATE 11/6/09} MasterofStrings, I believe this is the first review of Cat!Cow!Milkyway! Awesome.
Firstly, I don’t exactly hate Cat!Cow!Milkyway! He, yes he, there is only one member in this band, anyways his vocals, synthesizing, guitar, and beats are very catchy and (personally) he is one of the best artists I’ve heard since Austin told me about A Skylit Drive (yes, there are so many shitty bands in a year the only good bands I’ve discovered is an unsigned 17 year old, and 100deadrabbits). And he does a really good job with only one member and I wish his ass would make a new song, but he’s probably busy trying to get signed.
Secondly, the thing I don’t like about Cat!Cow!Milkyway! is that he acts like an attention whore, I understand that he wants to get signed, but in all his covers there are like 5 annotations that say: “Subscribe me” (no, really) “Our band: http://www.myspace.com/catcowmilkyway” (lol, our), and a shit ton of other promotional drivel that has to do with promoting himself. And for this I call him pathetic.
Cat!Cow!Milkyway!, you need to stop being such a little attention whore, than I could watch one of your videos and not be drowned in fucking annotations.

W00t! Finally more reasons why Resident Evil 4 is not as great as people say.
Creatures:
This is what bothers me, there are no zombies. NONE, not a one, nada, they aren’t here! That may not seem like a real problem to some, but to me this is a big deal, because all the good (and shit) RE games had zombies. Of course reviewers always say something along the lines of “The enemies in Resident Evil 4 are more frightening because they can think and will throw shit at you”, FUCK THAT! Give me Lickers Hunters and the good old fashioned zombie over these Spanish assholes (no offense to Spaniard who may be reading this). And if you didn’t know the enemies in RE4 are called Ganados (AHHH! SPANSIH!), and they are the residents of a village who were infected by a bug. No really, a fucking bug, not a virus, a god damn bug.
“Resident Evil 4 has the best graphics on the GameCube”:
*facepalm* Any reviewer who says the graphics in RE4 are good, pretty, revolutionary, or anything of the sort has been playing way too many FPSs. RE4’s graphics are good in a way, but the game has no style. It’s either brown paths and vacant, boring buildings, or the bland inside of a house, or something. The only exception for me is the castle, I thought the castle had some good art design, but a lot of it was kind of boring, and reminded me of Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
There you are, two more reasons why I don’t like RE4.

NOTE: Yes, I am aware that I am ranting about a game that is 4 years old, but if I had WordPress 2 years ago these rants would still be here.
Watchmen, to put it simply, is a great book, and definitely was the pinnacle of the comic medium, or did it ruin it? As I said this is an excellent book, great writing a wonderful story, that was revolutionary in superhero comics. But when Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns, were, as I said, the pinnacle of the comic medium, but to me they brought down the comic medium for quite a while. NOTE: Both books are really violent, and explicitly sexual, so the idiot writers of comics didn’t take the hint to bump up the writing but instead they pile on the gore and tits, and throw the writing to the to the god damned wind. Thus began the ’90’s era where in comics there was nothing but gore and tits. This pisses me off. Whatever, know one even cares what I have to say. And yes I stole this rant from MovieBob.

************RE-POST FROM TSIOO*************
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.

The trip was absolutely horrid, and not because half-eaten corpses and ghouls litters the streets (which was bad too), but because neither of us had anything to say. Nothing to comment on, no music, no anything, just static. And it was Christmas, it was cold as hell. Then a thought came to my mind: a lot of people didn’t make it this far, why in the hell am I complaining when we’re lucky to be alive?
“It’s Christmas,” I say,”I can’t believe for so many people it has to be spent hiding out in some old, dark, and decaying building.”
“Shame, it is, but we have our own lives to worry about.” Read the rest of this entry »
I snap awake, startled by the scratching and banging on the windows. They had found us, but how? Not that I hadn’t realized it was inevitable, but there were a lot of them. What did we do to attract so many? Then I hear it, the loud bang of a shotgun. Was it that kid? Did it matter? Whoever it was they were drawing great attention to our position, and I knew that Austin heard it too when he came running into the kitchen yelling my name.
“Will! Will!”
“Quiet,” I shush him,”This isn’t the time there are a lot of ghouls out there. Some dumbass with a shotgun has gone crazy and is blowing off the heads of ghouls. We need to leave.”
“You’re right,” Austin says with a ponderous look on his face, “the back door will suffice, am I wrong?”
“No. Go get the supplies and let’s go.”
“Hey Will?”
“Yeah,” I say, not expecting a question in this time of crisis.
“What time is it?”
I was uncertain, I rolled up my sleeve and looked at my watch, “12 a.m.”
“Damn, this asshole is out at 12 in the morning shooting ghouls, does he not realize that he is attracting even more zombies of the area?
“Maybe he was bitten, and wants to die.”
“Even so,” Austin says, “he should want others to live . . .” Austin trailed off and went into the living room and picked up the packs, he threw me my tan backpack and I strapped and secured it to my back. Austin took the bar off the backdoor and pulled his shotgun off his back.
“Little noisy don’t you think?” I muse.
“There’s already a crazy jackass with a shotgun in the middle of the night, why not add another?” I force a smile.
I took out my .45 and shot at the zombies near by. There were at least thirty in the vicinity. Any that got within ten feet I put a bullet in their brain. Austin had my back, pumping a shell into any that would try to grab him. We worked our way into the streets, the guy with the shotgun was not the kid but, by the look of him, was in his thirties. He (not surprisingly) had a group of undead surrounding him in a cul de sac. He was protecting his famiy (a wife, and two children) it was saddening, but there was no way to help him and they were doomed anyways, we had to survive, no use making two ghouls trying to save those that are already doomed.
We ran through the blood stained streets of Austin’s neighborhood, keeping our back-to-back formation. We reach the entrance to his neighborhood and jump into a dormant car, after Austin hot wires it we drive away.
“Where are we going?” I ask Austin.
“We’re going to San Antonio.”
“Why the hell are we going to San Antonio.”
“I’ve heard there is a survivor camp up there. They’re going to storm Dallas so that they can have a place to wait for rescue.”
“Alright. But what about when the car runs out of gas. Right now it’s only half full,” I say pointing at the meter.
“We walk.”
“San Antonio’s a long way away on foot.”
“Well, what other hope do we have.”
In my sleep I hear a voice, it’s echoic, and distorted, but it sound familiar. It’s Austin.”Uh, Will? You should wake up,” he says in a panicky tone. My eyes slowly open, I see Austin, he had his hand on my shoulder, apparently he was shaking me. I rolled over on my back and see the barrel of a shotgun aimed at my head, I am instantly awake. Shit! I think to myself. What happened while I was asleep?
“G-Get up,” the boy says (he can’t be older than 15). He waves the shotgun barrel over to the wall behind me where Austin stands with his hands up. I comply, slowly getting up off of the bed and back away to where Austin is standing. “L-Listen,” he starts moving the barrel closer to us, as if to prove that he is a major threat, “if you give me your supplies you’ll go unharmed, if not . . .” he let the sentence drop, as if for dramatic effect. Not knowing any other way out of the situation I kneel down and take a strap of each pack into my left and right hands.
“Stop!” Austin barks at me, I comply. “Put them down Will.” I listen.
“D-Dammit, if you give me the supplies I’ll leave and you’ll keep your lives,” he says. Moving the shotgun back and forth between the torsos of Austin and I, as if he didn’t know which of us was the greater threat.
Austin, keeping his cool and not getting pissed off, says. “Please, we aren’t like the zombies, we still have full function of our thoughts, we can negotiate. Will and I have enough supplies for three people and, as you can see, we’re a group of two. If there is something you need than please tell me, we’d be more than happy to give it to you.”
The boy took his shotgun in his right hand finger still on the trigger. “I-I need medicine,” he stops and pulls up his left sleeve revealing a chunk of flesh missing from his forearm. “One of those bastards bit me. I just need a First-Aid Kit.”
“Alright,” I say, and kneel down by the packs again and ug around in Austin’s backpack until I found one of the white tins with the little red cross. I got up, and held out my hand for the guy to take the kit. He takes it and puts it in his belt and walks out thanking us for the medicine.
“One more ghoul for the slaughter,” I say.
“Don’t be so gloomy,” Austin says bumping me in the arm with the back of his hand.
“I’ll go on watch now. You need some rest, you may be strong, but you’re useless if you’re tired.”
“You’re right, goodnight, and goodluck.”
I picked up my M1 I had against the wall behind where we were standing. At any moment I could have grabbed my M1 and put a bullet in that kid’s brain, but my God damned morals got in the way. I pulled out on of the wooden chairs from the kitchen and sat in the room. My legs crossed rifle in my lap, then lit a cigarette. First I had in two weeks.
Damn, I have no willpower.
As I sat there my eyes got heavy and I drifted away to the land of dreams, this is the first time I’ve ever fallen asleep during my shift.

I can think of no way to describe how I’m feeling. Afraid? Angry? Scared? A combination of all three? I don’t know. I might even be going insane. The steady moan of the ghouls is constantly racking on my nerves. It would seem there are more, and more zombies each day, maybe their moan attracts more zombies.
Whatever, just a theory. I’m leaving tomorrow, Austin’s waiting at his house, he told me to wait a few days so that he could get ready. I already have my supplies: pistol .45 caliber, 200 rounds, M1 Garand rifle, lasersight and NVG scope, machete, crowbar, knife, 6-inches long, smooth. Backpack 12 quarts of water, enough canned food to last for two weeks, bed roll.
I rolled up the sleeve of my Domo-kun jacket and looked at my watch, it read 10:30 p.m. I rolled over onto my mattress. When I began to feel my eyelids getting heavy, about to leave this horrid place and off to dreamland.
CRASH!
I hear a window shatter, and the shards of crystal spread onto the floor. My eyes snap open in an instant, the distinctive moan of the ghouls has gotten louder, and clearer. I swing my legs off the bed and sling my backpack over my right shoulder, attach the sheath of my machete to my belt, holster the .45, and put my M1 to my shoulder.The ghouls began shambling towards me, I get ready with the M1, and fire at the first three undead. But it would seem that they kept coming. I took the rifle in one hand, drew my .45 and shot the next few undead, but for everyone I killed three more cam in through the window.
Shit! I think, My position is compromised! Need to find escape! I looked around the room for a way out there were undead at every window and door, Damn! Then the roof came to mind. I raced up the stairs and climbed out of the window in my bedroom. Now on the roof I jumped into the backyard. I quickly vaulted over the fence then hopped on my bike and headed to Austin’s house.
Exhausted, out of breath, and scared as hell, I arrived at my destination.
“You’re early,” Austin says.
“Not much of a greeting wouldn’t you say? Ghouls broke in and overrun my house, I had to come early. You wouldn’t believe how many ghouls I had to get through to get here.”
“Actually, I do,” Austin says in a matter-of-factly tone,”they were knocking on my door all day, they’re like god damn door-to-door salesmen.”
I laugh.
“You look exhausted, you should go to sleep, I’ll take your shift.”
“Sure?”
“No prob.”
First, whatever speculations you had against this film, forget them. Just forget them, and go see it. I had little hope for this film when I saw the trailers, but it did interest me. And I just saw it a few hours ago, and it was a very good film. One of the best in the last few years.
The suspense is great, and every time Esther (the “Orphan”) is going to try and kill someone, you know how she’ll do it, but you’re waiting and wondering if the heroine will see/stop her. And Esther does some weird shit to make the heroine seem like the bad guy. Like she puts her arm in a vice (after the heroine gets pissed at Esther, and grabs her arm) and breaks it, and shows it to our heroine’s husband and makes him think that she broke her arm. And a girl teases Esther at school then she pushes the girl off of a slide and breaks the girl’s leg. And when Maxine (the heroine’s daughter) is in the car Esther turns off the parking brake and makes the car crash into a pile of snow. And the heroine is blamed because she was a drinker and they found a bottle of wine and thought she left the parking break off because she was drunk.
The acting is actually pretty good, especially from the child actors who do an exceptionally good job for 9 year olds in a horror movie. Like I said in the beginning don’t judge the film, please go give the film a chance, it should be out on DVD.

If you came over from my old blog (yes, that is the blog from Blogger, which sucks BTW), than you would know that I started a novel by the name of Z-Day, which I wrote six chapters and put 1 and a half chapters on my old blog. Well, once I heard Austin’s friend was going to finish Z-Day, under the name of City of the Dead. I had to reboot the story, and this time it will be very different, and it will be on the new blog.
I have been listening to the audio book for Max Brooks’s The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living Dead, for my form of research for my rebooted Z-Day, and it is very good, and if you didn’t know KTLIOADJ think that 2012 will not be a series of natural disasters but an outbreak of zombies. So, I will hopefully get a physical copy for Christmas, as well as Max Brooks’s other novel World War Z, also The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
Okay guys that’s all for the updates the now, bye.

Since KTLIOADJ‘s ass has to bitch at me for not doing a God Hand review, it’s 1 in the morning, and I have mild sugar high(not anymore, I’m finishing this review the morning after), here it is asshole.
The game’s story is as follows: Jean sees a girl named Olivia about to have her arm cut off by three jackasses looking for the God Hand, which is a magic arm that grants you the power of a God in that arm, and needless to sat Jean tries to help and ends up getting his arm cut off. Olivia apparently feeling sorry for him grants him one of the God Hands. And once he gets this arm he assumes the role of demon hunter and goes around killing demons for the hell of it. He runs into the Four Devas a group of Demons who actually have the other God Hand possessed by Azel a.k.a. The Devil Hand. And of course Jean must stop them.
The gameplay can be summed up in two words: fun, and hard. Seriously this game will kick ass equally or maybe even more so than Devil May Cry 3. And the difficulty will increase as you do better, there are four subsequent difficulties: Levels 1-3 and the aptly named Level Die, and of course if the difficulty increases as you do better than as you start sucking the game will lighten up on you, and I think this mechanic should be implemented in s lot more games. Another great mechanic in God Hand is that you can choose exactly which moves you want in your combo. Also, this game has some bad ass super moves called the Roulette Wheel, I won’t go into too much detail because a few of the moves have to be witnesssed for yourself, like the Ball Buster, yeah.
Overall this is a great game, and if you read IGN’s review in which they gave this game a 3 out of 10, than you need to track down a copy and play this game for yourself becasue it is not a game that deserves a 3.
MasterofStrings
(^_^)v Seriously go buy it.
What can I say Phantom Hourglass is a great game, probably one of the best on the DS, great job Nintendo! This is most definitely what a DS game shoukd be, great touch screen controls, which are used by dragging the stylus to run, and slashing the enenmies on screem to attack, as well as using your stylus to draw a path that your boomerang will follow. The characters are a lot of fun, and the fairy (Celia) isn;t otally annoying. There are things in this game that are not from the console Zelda games, like you can only habe one item equipped at a time, instead of three, I think. Amd you can’t talk to the fairy for advice,also some of the rupees are different. And I know I don’t usually talk about graphics but the graphics in this game are fantastic and very much resemble Wind Waker.
Great game go and check it out. I think the new Zelda in on the DS “Spirit Traxks” will be a sequel to this game, it comes out on Dec. 7th, if you have a DS go but it.
