Been a while since I've done a blog entry here. Mainly cause I've been busy.
One BYOND game I've been playing, Mitadake High, it's a fun enough game but it has a slight issue. The beginning of all rounds turn out exactly the same.
Lemme give you a few examples.
Normal: -One person rushes to the tea ceremony room and breaks into the air vent. --Upon doing that, they make it to the security room and get the hair color of the killer. -People die many times. -Some bastard hogged the medipacks
Death Note: One person rushes for the axe, another rushes for the keys, someone gets into the office, and someone else breaks down the office door. People camp there all round because that is the ONLY computer in the school with all of the names. Whoever writes down anything or is within 3 spaces of the computer is Kira. Anyone near him is Eyes.
Nanaya: *insert lots of blood and screaming*
Anyway, the changes I plan to make include making it harder to get into the basement where the axes are, more rooms with computers in them, and maybe more medipacks and rooms. Also gonna remap the air vents as well, and... BUWAHAHAHAHA!! PUT A LOCK ON THE NURSES OFFICE!! BWHAHAHAHA!!!
So browsing the Digg archives, I found this little thing that spawned a small internet fad of a sort.

And since CNN was able to use a hologram in their studio (that has authenticity up for debate), I decided to calculate the bit rate of holographic porn. I'm a pervert, okay?
Anyway, the max bit rate of HDTV is 19.4mbps, which is 1.94 megabytes a second. The method used to create the hologram involved 30 HD cameras, which is a stream of 58.2 megabytes each second.
So if you want holographic porn, then you'll need a solid 60 megs for each second you'll want to see of Crystal Storms oversized ass
So Barack Obama has won the vote, it's only a matter of time until he swears in as the President of the United States. I can only hope that he can clean up the mess that stupid bastard Dubya left in his wake.
Congratulations Mr. Obama, do your job well and may you bring America back on track.
I usually come across topics like that on my roleplay boards but I tire of typing my stats every time, so I thought I'd post them here for copypasta when needed.

I finally managed to get Order of Ecclesia, I got tired of waiting on Wally World, so I simply ordered it in, and here it is!
From just the intro, I can tell that the storytelling and interaction of characters, something that is lacking in a lot of IgaVanias (Castlevanias directed by Koji Igarashi, Symphony of the Night onwards.), even though I've only known the characters for five minutes, I already know the relationship between all of them.
The game opens with Shanoa, Ecclesia's greatest champion, preparing herself for the ritual to house the ultimate glyph trinity, Dominus, the weapon that Ecclesia will use to destroy Dracula. At the end of the ritual, her friend Albus forcibly takes the glyphs, interrupting the process. He was promised to be the one to wield Dominus, and he flees Ecclesia's stronghold.
The great power of Dominus being stripped from Shanoa's body at the apex wasn't without consequence, the shock cost Shanoa both her memory and her power, and she must reacquire her power and regain the Dominus from Albus.
From this point, the game gives a brief tutorial that teaches everything you need to know about combat, and those experienced in Castlevania will know the rest from this point on.
From what I know so far, this is gonna be one Hell of a party!
I'm half-tempted to hand over my citizenship and go back to Scotland. People are getting belittled, tires slashed, and even getting death threats for supporting whoever they're voting for. I printed off an excerpt US Code Title 18 Section 245, and attached it to my Obama sign. Here's the excerpt of that very important law that's being broken.
(b) Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, by force or threat of force willfully injures, intimidates or interferes with, or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with - (1) any person because he is or has been, or in order to intimidate such person or any other person or any class of persons from - (A) voting or qualifying to vote, qualifying or campaigning as a candidate for elective office, or qualifying or acting as a poll watcher, or any legally authorized election official, in any primary, special, or general election; (B) participating in or enjoying any benefit, service, privilege, program, facility, or activity provided or administered by the United States; (C) applying for or enjoying employment, or any perquisite thereof, by any agency of the United States; (D) serving, or attending upon any court in connection with possible service, as a grand or petit juror in any court of the United States; (E) participating in or enjoying the benefits of any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance;...
Long story short: If you touch that sign, if you touch my car, if you threaten me, belittle me, or otherwise harass me, you're breaking the law. Know what happens if you get charged with a felony? You lose your vote.
People are being coerced and threatened just for who they're supporting. This isn't what democracy is about, this isn't what the First Amendment is about. You have the right to have opinions different from me, but I'll be damned if you think you can shove it down peoples throats.
Why aren't these people getting arrested? One recent incident resulted in 30 slashed tires near where the polls were being held. No cops there? Yeah, I'm thankful for voting booths.
I'm embarassed to say I'm a US citizen, if this keeps up, I'm moving to Canada. After I vote Obama.
My stepdad stopped by there today to try and pick it up, but they didn't have it in stock. Shame, guess I'll have to try over the course of the week.
This is kinda screwing my challenge to my friend worst enemy, but hey, I have dial-up, and I've waited a long time for this to be released. I guess I can wait a little while longer. It's not as though Wal Mart is a specialist store, where they get it in a wee bit before the official release. You know, games end up in the stores anywhere from a day to a week before the release.
Can't really blame them...
Remorseful bastards!! I've waited long enough!! </rant>
I mean, a lot of games are mature for sexual themes, graphic violence, strong language and the like, but it that really considered mature?
I mean, to me, a mature subject is things like racism, political issues, things like that. Social issues most of us pretend to ignore. Hell, even a T-rated game (And T is stretching it) like Final Fantasy Tactics has a lot of occult and political and religious themes to it, and Final Fantasy X has that, as well as mountains of racism against the Al Bhed.
Also, the dating sim Yume Miru Kusuri, yes it's an erotic Adults-Only dating sim, but what mature themes does it have? Premarital (and unprotected at that) sex aside, one of the girls is a drug addict, and another is a victim of extreme levels of bullying, and I'm talking had-me-sweating-for-a-moment extreme. And the third, let's just say that her story is as taboo as it gets.
Xenosaga, religious themes up the wazoo, and theories that chaos is the reincarnation of a famous icon, as well as themes of child abuse, child soldiers, psychological torture, reincarnation, as well as many counts of innocent people dying. To be honest, YMK aside, it's one of the most mature games I've played.
It's hard to find a game that is actually "Mature" in that sense of the word. It's the kind of mature that I actually like. Guess they just slip through the cracks like everything else.
I'm already seeing Christmas decorations up in places, and it's not even Halloween yet. My auntie would shrug it off though, she writes her cards out in July.
Still, going to Wal Mart today, first thing I noticed was Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer being blasted over the speakers. Two things wrong here, it's October, it's the 14th, and I really hate that song. Pretty ridiculous, so I break out my radio and flip it on.
♪Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun Now the jingle hop has begun♪
So I break out my iPod and choose a track at random...
♪Eve-Eve Merry Christmas kokoro kara omoi wo anata ni tsutaetai Eve-Eve Merry Christmas ki ga tsuite namida ga yuki ni kawaru yoru Loving you!♪
Since when did I have Cyberteam music on my iPod?
Having a few Christmas things up early is just something that happens, but playing Christmas music in October? That's borderline criminal.
Guess I'll start working on a Christmas theme for December, and maybe a Halloween theme as well. I like to be one of the few with a heavily customized profile. Think I should do gold and silver, or red and green? I'm leaning towards the latter. Whatever "The latter" means.
A friend of mine... well, an acquaintance... uh... rival... okay I hate his guts alright!?
I felt evil, so I issues a little challenge to him. "I will complete Order of Ecclesia before you, and spoil the entire storyline just to be an asshole!"
He said he was the better gamer, and that he would complete it in the same day he buys it, blaze through the whole thing, and spoil the entire storyline for me.
So yeah, while he's blazing through it in an attempt to ruin the surprises in the storyline (Which I can already guess from Igarashi's predictable nature), I'll be leisurely going through it, actually enjoying the game. He'll be trashing Arthoverta while I'm getting some new glyphs, and by the time I master the Magnes glyphs, he'll be kicking Dracula in the face and pounding him into dust.
Then he'll sign onto MSN, message me, and realize that he tore up the game in one day to brag his ass off, only to come to the sudden revealation that I blocked him.
Castlevania: $29.99 +tax Internet: Too much for dial-up Getting someone to blaze it in a day and not be able to brag: Priceless
This is a dark day for the internet. At an unknown time, YouTube removed the legendary Rick Roll video, the center of an internet prank which has a staggering 21million views. For TOS violation.
Wait... what? A TOS violation? At 21million views? The same video that was also part of YouTube's April Fools prank? The video that Rick Astley HIMSELF said nothing against!?
Oh lord... I simply can't believe this happened. You bastards, how could you!? You bastards!! I had it all set up and everything!
Ying says: Aries, can I ask you a very strange and unusual question? Aries Wren says: Of course, go ahead. Ying says: How old are you again? Aries Wren says: 19, why? Ying says: First life? Aries Wren says: I think so. I don't think I've reincarnated at all. Ying says: Certain? Aries Wren says: Aye, why do you ask? Ying says: Well, you use phrases like "These days", "Back in the day", and that quite often, reaching centuries and even millenia ago. I know it's just one of your quirks, but if you mix in your knowledge of spiritual matters and mechanics, it gives you that strange feel and vibe. Aries Wren says: I get what you mean, but I don't follow the vibe part. Ying says: The way you talk, the depth of some of your conversations. You sound like you hail from a higher plane of existence. Being a Buddhist and a spiritualist, that sort of thing tends to stick out. If I was a religious man, I would think you were Yeshua himself. Aries Wren says: So you think I might have an exalted status? Ying says: Signs point to yes, Aries. I honestly wouldn't put such a thing past you.
I wouldn't put him running out of medication past him myself, but he does have a point, I do have a habit of talking about days and times and even events I've never experienced like I was there, even though I have the Grandfather of alibis for most of them. He's not the first person to think that I'm a little bit "Out there" though.
Hahahaha, total joke that, but to be honest, I hate Palin's guts. Only way I would vote for McCain now is if he Sparta-Kicked her on live television, which would probably happen if he got really desperate.
McCain screams "THIS IS SPARTA" and kicks Palin! Approval rating skyrockets!
I was at Pizza Hut today, and one woman decided that she needed the bathroom, and when she asked where it was, the clerk at the cash register told her that the bathroom was out of service due to the toilet not working.
She then kicked up a right spectacle, screaming and shouting over how she had the right to use the bathroom, threatening to sue and all that, even though the toilet wasn't working. And I mean "Doesn't drain the water" not working.
I got so sick of her, I waited for her to go on about a state law (That I doubt exists) that all food places must have a means of evacuating ones bowels. As soon as she did, I threw a bucket at her.
Pizza: $Too much Drinks: $Free Throwing a bucket at a woman demanding a bathroom: Priceless.
I would've just welded the stall door shut so she can face the wrath of a toilet that regurgitates.
After a month of kicking, screaming, jumping, getting skewered on spikes, blasted by Dracula, stomped into the ground by Zangeif, and gravity-defying Cherries, I have at long last succeeded in my epic quest to become The Guy!
I know that means nothing to 90% of the people I know here (Including myself, which constitutes the 10%), so here's a link to how easy it is to die in this game.
Oh, you gotta love Boss Rush! Shame I don't fight the final form of The Guy.
Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Sarah Palin, decide to go on a picnic. So Michelle packs the picnic basket with beer and sandwiches. The trouble is the picnic site is ten miles away so it takes them two hours to get there.
When they get there Michelle unpacks the food and beer. "Ok Palin Give me the bottle opener."
"I didn't bring it," says Palin. "I thought you packed it."
Michelle gets worried, She turns to Hillary, "Did you bring the bottle opener??"
Naturally Hillary didn't bring it. So they're stuck ten miles from home without a bottle opener. Michelle and Hillary beg Palin to go back for It, but she refuses as she says they will eat all the sandwiches.
After two hours, and after they have sworn on their lives that they will not eat the sandwiches, she finally agrees. So Palin sets off down the road at a steady pace.
Four hours pass and he still isn't back and Michelle and Hillary are starving, but a promise is a promise.
Another five hours and she still isn't back, but a promise is a promise. Finally they can't take it any longer so they take out a Sandwich each, and just as they are about to eat it, Palin pops up from behind a rock and shouts;
"I KNEW IT!......I'M NOT GOING!"
Sarah Palin is now the blond in my blond jokes. And yes, this joke was originally about turtles.
Also, the woman has, like Bush, come up with excuses for her sloppy interview, read it here. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/03/palin-on-fox-news-couric_n_131655.html
Good lord, FOX NEWS!? Okay, that is an unforgivable sin.
By the way, Xenosaga ep1 spoilers follow. If you've reached Song of Nephilim, then you're good to go. Also, an insight to my love for the macabre and the disturbing.
Xenosaga, one of my favorite RPG titles and one of my favorite games overall. The main villain of the first game, Albedo, is quite famous for being both exceptionally intelligent and mentally unstable.
How unstable? He has a series of realians, artificial humans, in tow, a model he lovingly calls Kirchwassers. They follow him like lambs, and since pre-Miltian Conflict realians were controlled by their cores and most stripped of free will, stuck with him even though he freely killed them one at a time with his own hands.
Also, he's the only videogame character I can name who willingly mutilates himself to scare the living daylights of one of the main characters.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_oHxm8TYu0 That's the uncut Japanese version of the scene spliced with the US version. It shows just how psycho he is. It's a pretty damn disturbing scene. They cut out a few scenes in the US version, but for some reason, removed the blacking-out effect from Momo's point of view. Well, best of both worlds right here. Though, I think him ripping his head off is more twisted.
The most disturbing thing is how he refers to her as "my belle peche".
It's freezing today, I'm actually wearing gloves inside the house. Fingerless though, I don't generally wear gloves.
The sky is pale, my mum has the flu, the dogs next door are inside for a change, my profanity finger just went numb, the car wont start, my venus flytrap is getting hungry, and I sense snow within a few weeks.
And it's only October, man I can't wait until the whole state freezes over. What's the weather like in your area?
Seems that someone didn't keep an eye on their kid. I mean, how does a SEVEN year old break into a zoo, and kill 30 animals before someone realizes something is up? Are laser sensors really that hard to set up?
I hope that little bastard gets his ass beaten all over the house and thrown into the crocodile pit. I'm noting his name and mark my words, he will be a sociopath later in life.
Damn, time sure flies. I'll put the bin out for the trashman two more times before it's released, I seriously can't wait!
Is anyone else looking forward to the latest Castlevania game? Cause Hell I sure am, the instant this is released, I'm buying it, and nobody is gonna stop me. If Wal Mart lacks it, I burn the place down and go to Gamestop. Gamestop doesn't have it, I leave the place splattered with blood and go to Amazon.
