Prices

There are a ton of things which I could talk about now... But at the moment I'm really concentrated into the problem of my faction at Granado Espada. So, it's manutention time, no play. Our leader was talking about paying for some cash to get more firepower, that's ok. But now that we came to talk seriously, we see that the price is somewhat high for those gpoints. And then, the problem, he thinks about paying those gold seller sites to get more money to the faction. I am totally against supporting botters... ah, the damn botters. Stealing our kills, our drops, our fun. And we pay'em for it?? What the fuck is our problem? Okay, I know, it's his money, he can do anything he wants with it. But, why with this dirty money? So we can get elites for our faction and get super powerful and then we get to the next level of equipment, and then... shall we buy more gold? Then, what's the point of playing? I believe that the real feeling of a faction, or guild, or whatever, is to get powerful slowly, together. Not just getting a bunch of dudes, providing them godly items and then eliminating all bosses around. Of course, I love to eliminate those bosses, but, I wouldn't feel like I was eliminating a boss if all my equipment was bought with botter's money.
So then I thought, for my sadness, and what if pratically all factions out there done just the same thing? Damn, why do we play then? I hope they haven't.
That sucks, really sucks.

Soldiers

I live in another world... a world where there are things like honor and justice. It seems like bullshit today. But I still think about those things.
Somewhat stupid the way that came to my mind, with an exam. Well, wasn't just an exam, it was the exam. All I should do was score a 9 out of 10 and... over. But I don't really think I managed to do that, after all, for having such a low grade at the first test, the chances of scoring a 9 were low... really low.
But that's not the point. The point is that today I caught myself thinking about the whole situation. I mean, I could have given up and studied for the other exams, then I would only re-do the subject again, in the future. But no, somehow in my mind there's this voice saying to go there and try, because giving up a fight is the worse thing you can do in a situation like this. Yeah... probably that's what happens when you play a lot and watch to many epic movies. But, after all, it feels good to look to the past and see that you tried.
Just some weird sensation I guess.

Dead End

So, here I am, unable to play, in the middle of a class with absolutely no point where even the teacher has left the room.
No sound on the computer so I can't watch any funny video nor make people watch shocking videos to have some fun. Well, okay. These are times when you see no real motivation, but you don't really feel sad, so it's not that bad. These moments before very important dates (which you get really afraid of some). Yeah, it's like being dizzy. It will probably change by christmas.
There should be snow over here...

Wicked sick

Yeah... today was a hell of a cool day. Very good to see that your efforts actually were useful.
And there also was this movie to end the night, well, I guess it actually sucks, but I really liked it, maybe it's because today is... today.
There always those days when you feel very well, and in almost all of them there's actually no reason for that. Maybe it's a good movie, but, there's no accounting for a taste and I don't want to discuss about that.
I would really to play a game like Painkiller now, Painkiller is quite impressive for the amount of gore on each stage, and gets even better with those hints for keeping body and blood onscreen. In fact I would like to play Hellgate now, but with a body count... you know, it gets more exciting if you can see the numbers of your carnage.
And also today we had (when I say ''we'' in fact I'm saying ''I'', not so weird when you get used to it) those funny videos. Those ''nasty'' videos that we see the reactions at Youtube. Well in fact they are actually nasty, but, well, the reactions are just so... hilarious.
Just look for 2 girls 1 cup, 2 girls 1 finger, BME Pain Olympics, mr hands, kids in sandbox or spankwire at google. But, you'll be doing this at your own risk. And please put your reaction at Youtube.
Cheers for the twisted minds.

The stand

It'll be just a party after the church...
Just a party...
It'll be fast... it'll be fast...
Just keep telling yourself that.
Just forget reality while you're there.
Just keep away from what they say.
The more you daydream the faster it ends...
It won't last long...
It won't last long...
Just keep telling yourself that.

Yeah... tomorrow's the great showdown... I still haven't given up.

Hell and Crysis

So, today there's we have the release of the "laughing at your pc" game.
Maybe Crysis is indeed very good. And there is a good probability of being so because Cry Tek has done a wonderful job at Far Cry, and this is the chance for them to really shine. And what a shine... Crysis at the maximum graphical quality is astonishing. But, it won't be so cool for everyone, that's how it works anyway, if you can waste a nice amount of money on your computer, you get more.
My problem with this game began at the time the real super screens appeared, I know it is good to play a beautiful game and all but, some people are looking at Crysis as it was the best game ever just because it simply smashes down your computer... this race for graphical quality is what worries me about the actual days of gaming industry. There are many games out there that are just eye candy, no story, no remarkable soundtrack, bad gameplay.
Well, I will play it in the (remote) future, and then I will see if it really deserves the good score it's getting. Hope I'm wrong.
Now for Hellgate London (special thanks for my best friend ever Juliana).
IT ROCKS! Okay, I normally don't talk like that but sometimes you can't hold it.
I can't understand how there is people saying the stages are totally repetitive, okay, there is indeed repetition at some places, but, come on, Diablo 2 had a lot of repeated locations (Act III, ring any bells?) and it was... well, it was Diablo 2.
The graphics doesn't even compare to the ones of the game I began talking this post, but they are very cool. Although I play in the low graphics for the lack of powerful computer specs. The only disappointment was the background of the Hellrifts, maybe it gets better looking at the high quality.
And about the sound, well I hear it, guess all these people who say they don't hear a damn music are having some bad luck. Ok, there are many moments of silence through the bloodbath, but for me that is not a problem. A Techno-Metal eternal soundtrack would have ruined this part of the game. And the shooting sounds are very good.
The gameplay is awesome too, running around looting items and slaying all that moves is a simple but effective formula.
Yes, there are bugs, like the occasional warp of those jumping beasts, but I haven't faced those memory leaks or deletions some complained.
Maybe my equipments are bad, but I found the Act I boss to be ridiculously hard. Maybe because I didn't run as I should. Hope yes because if you really are supposed to fight it the way I fought I'm really afraid of the final Act. Ah, and the templars seems to be in a real disadvantage in this game, because of the flying monsters and the strategical side of the marksman.
Well, that's my opinion.
Once again special thanks for Juliana (Special Edition, so pretty box)

Inner Struggle

Is it common to talk to yourself? I hope so.
Guess there are people who are born in the wrong world. Or maybe just the wrong century.
You know what I mean when you see something in a movie, or a game, or i don't know where, but you see, and you really wish you were there, in that situation. But you can't. And you know you are doomed to live in this world.
I don't really care if this sounds as ''nobody understands me'', the thing is just that sometimes you just need to be in that other world. You feel like you were made for that.
When you are in touch with that other reality, damn, it feels terrific. But it's always a slap in the face when you realize it just isn't real. But, this world has it's moments, you've got your friends, your life, and all that stuff. Guess it's just better not to think. Especially if in your head you talk with yourself, way of an unfriendly chat, if you know what I mean.
I know, I know, we all have to make a space for ourselves in this world. But there's no possibility of my place being the way I would like it to be, maybe (actually quite sure) it's better for mankind this way. And we have to fix it also (even though the actual situation is pretty bad, and there's those older people who keep with the ''which world will you leave for your children?'' talk... hell, look at the world have they left us to fix?). It just feels like the ''fantasy'' worlds are easier (and why not nicer?) to fix. It just depends on you, well, it actually only depends on you for changing our real world also, but there are billions of you's and many of them think that it depends on the whole, and as there are people who won't help, then it's no use to try to change.
Somewhat hypocrit that coming from me.
Well, we really are doomed to the ''what if...'' topic.

...But fight, for the living

I still need to play Hellgate.
I've got the demo, well, it kinda sucks, because it's so limited.
There's many people complaining, saying the game hasn't delivered what it promised.
Maybe it was over-hyped, I don't know. What I know is that, believe it or not, I liked the demo. The marksman of course. It mixes Diablo with Doom, and i don't think there are words to express what that means to me. Doom 2 was my first game for the computer, even though my addiction to it worried my father.
Well, there's Diablo 3 coming also, at least that's what people say. Have no hurry Blizzard, we wait as much time as it's necessary for perfection. And make it violent as hell.

Remember the dead...

So finally it's Halloween!
And today, we have the release of Hellgate London.
Well, i just need to play it.

Something crazed this way comes

There was me, and there was this blog.
From monday to friday it was updated, once a day.
There were all those cool news.
Damn man... I was really let down when some bad new came.
But there still was this blog.
And there were still new updates daily...
But today, I decided to take a look at it again.
Damn man... things really changed now.

The new launch date (some months away from me...) is no match against the new update.
I mean, I know I'm doing the hype, but, if they do what they promise exactly as it's meant to be, then... well, I ran out of words to describe how's it gonna be.

Well, I'm suspect for saying all this, so see it yourself:

Violence...

So I have watched Saw IV...
And, I liked it!
Against everything people said, like ''When movies get to the number 4, it gets really trash'' or that the twist was totally predictable.
Well, maybe it was, but I didn't try to discover before watching the movie, I guess there's no real reason for that, I prefer to watch and have a surprise or... something like that.
Ahhh... the traps... I really like the traps in Saw, they seem so... beautiful. Cheers to whoever comes up with them.
I thought the fourth movie was more violent than the third... I found that there were few deaths in the third, although the last one stands for the whole movie. Now we've gotten a bigger body count, and some nice traps too. Maybe I'm just too wicked, but I found some of these new traps as powerful as Saw 3's "how far an arm can twist?". Maybe i didn't find any of them exactly as gruesome as many found. Well, there's no accounting for a taste.
Now, people may think those who enjoy watching gore in movies are deranged... but come on... what about all those tv journals? Can't people see that what happens there is far grosser than all these movies? Can't they understand that that's for real? You watch'em, there on your couch, maybe you complain about something, maybe you groan... well, congratulations, you heard hundreds, thousands of deaths, and eachs one of those who died, were like you... but, you can't realize that, you're just waiting to watch something that begins right after the journal. Then the next day you criticize a friend of yours for watching something like Saw...
Well... I don't know who's really the weird one...

If it's Halloween, it must be Saw

Finally...
It's been almost 2 years waiting.
I could write some massive post to justify why I find this movie so... beautiful... but, what would it change? I would keep loving it, someone would keep saying it sucks, so what?

What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things.''
