games that nobody bought

now for a list of good games that nobody bought:

SMT Devil Survivor, Eternal Darkness, Black Sigil, valkyrie profile (all), and for the bigshot, breakdown, an awsome game from Namco that I would argue is easily the best FPS ever made.

whoops

a lot to get through this time. I seem to have missed a lot and am going to update more regularly.

a guy whose name I forgot and will post if someone tells me came from the center of arts and technology, the presentation was interesting, and I learned worldwide media industry is said to have made 12 trillion dollars by 2012. In this comapany you get paid a lot of money to do almost anything, ad everything, skydiving, baby pictures sports. no lack of jobs in network security, interior design, requires sitting in front of a computer for over 60 hours, which for me is great. I also learned that there are awards for websites, and by 2011 the game market would have made 49.9 billion dollars

Last wedsnday I learned that there are many different art styles for tv showing, some of which look almost comic book stylish. Also proving that you can make anything in HD. The main one I'm talking about is Injustice, an interesting show about todays justice in courts. the most interesting thing about it is that the images give a sense of depth, one image stays at the front focus, while a second image rotates around the first, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly,and it gives an interesting feel.

so I came across a book, that has some of the worst grammer and worst word uses you could ever find. I never even knew any author thought using "especialy" was a good idea, and it has the problem of not telling you anything. We came across a "lorg" what a lorg is or what it looks like isn't explained until six pages later. Then one guy fires an arrow from a bow, and another fires a bolt. Alright, a crossbow and bow right? No. The guy with the bolt explains that his weapon, whatever it is, calculated the targe and fired for him. Wait, computers? Then why do they still have armor and swords? I'll leave it to you to guess what book this is.

Just recently we went to phoenix advertising. It was an interesting place, what surprised me the most was they make (among other things) logos for various places, almost all of which I have seen at one time or another. Most of the logos they make are in the photos above, if you can read them have fun and try to see how many you recognize.

odd/good games Black Sigil

just a little while ago, I bought a new game, went home to play it, and was blown away by the fact that it doesn't suck! This hit me completly by surprise, as games sucking seems to have become the standard, and anyone who makes a game that doesn't suck has to undergo a lobotomy to be brought down to the norm, see the makers of eternal darkness and too human. So when is it that people lost the idea that games had to be good? Was it when mario received his 37th game? was it when the wii switched over to casual gamers? was it when sony announced they would be harder to develop games for, causing good games too slow to a crawl? Personally I blame franchises. why do people get attached to icons like mario and sonic? If you don't want to play as mario, sonic or any casual game, then you have no choice to go over to the ps3 where almost every single game is some variation of 1st/3rd person shooter, or the 360, which seems to put out games by the truckload, and picking a good one becomes almost hit and miss. Of course black sigil was hit and miss too, but I bought it because it was original enough and not trying to leech off of anything before hand. why can't more games be like this? When did we suddenly run out ideas that we had to keep using things over and over again? let's just ax a franchise after ten or so games, that way we wouldn't have to be faced with crap like f.f. 11/12, any new mario/sonic games, and with all their expansion packs, the metal gear universe would be on the verge of death as well, and then we can make new series and keep ideas fresh.

Eventually everyone asks a question, it is something that bugs everybody, and that is, can pirates coexist with ninjas? luckily this post is really easy as somebody has already answered this question, just copy past the address and read the text.

don't even think about calling me out on who this guy really is. Any comments on such will be deleted.

Poster

Here's the poster we did. I' like to thank all my classmates for providing background entertainment. me and my partner both worked equally in cutting and designing. I did slightly less gluing, but slightly more cutting, which makes us even I guess.

They were smoking something

Recently i finished on of the better stories I was reading, and decided to rant on it for a little bit. This story is your standard humans with special abilities vs. ancient vampires. the one different thing that this series wants you to believe is that the main characters (human and half human) can survive anything and still manage to kill a vampire who makes Sephiroth look pathetic, and Kefka look sane. (nerdy reference)

ex. In this story the half human gets her arms and legs sliced open, gets sliced apart by claws, gets thrown through 3 stories of floors, before getting thrown through five more stories, then gets caught in a magic vortex, where she get sliced at by dopplegangers, after all this she's somehow still alive, and because the vampire is that awesome, he crushes her, and the castle she is inside with, wait for it, the moon. Yeah, the moon, not a bolder, or a wall coming down, the reach up to the sky, apparently using magic, and cause the moon to come crashing down on the heroes, the hero it hits getting completely crushed.

After this she still gets up and beats the vampire in a one on one match, and whereas she can get up from anything, she kills the vampire by shooting him through the stomach with a holy bullet. not the heart or the head, the stomach. how come she can regenerate anything but this vampire can't? Only ever hits him once and that time proves to be fatal?

I shouldn't even have to explain why that pissed me off. The only reason i can think of to make her still survive and win, is because the villain always losses, and this story is no exception. It's still a fun read if you don't think the villain is the greatest evar (i do), and it's funny to watch people make up excuses for why the hero/heroin wins after getting crushed by the moon, something not even link can survive.
