STOP THEIF!!!!!!!

I don't know, it seems lately every time I come onto my blog to do a post, it usually stems from my anger towards something I have seen or read & Facebook's stupid new 500 character cap, which prevents me from writing anything meaningful or something passionate on my own wall, so all my friends can see. Well whatever, here I'am again on my blog, so let the b****ing start!!!!

I recently (& by recently I mean just 10 minutes ago). Read this article on IGN.com http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/119/1193735p1.html entitled ‘The Real Cost of The Used Market’. Within said article, it details how Guillaume De Fondaumier (the Co-Founder of Quantic Dream, which you may remember, released Heavy Rain on the Playstation 3 in 2010) is upset that a million people have played his game without paying full price for it… That’s right he’s upset that his game has only made €20 million as opposed to his preferred €25 - €30 million, which he rightly deserves... wait... WHAT!!!!


Ethan Mars in Quantic Dream's game: Heavy Rain
Listen, Ass-Munch!!! When it comes to parting with my hard cash, I'll buy games that I am sure will provide me value for my money (E.G. Uncharted, Fallout, Bioshock, Half Life & so on). Games which are not likely to be value for money (I.E. Your game, Heavy Rain – which I did happen to get on release day, DUE TO A TRADE IN, THANKS TO THE PRE-OWNED GAMES MARKET!!! & completed in 6 hours & platinum in 4 days, really good value of £40 I got there... & I'm not even that really good at games. I mean I'm slightly above average, but I'm no super geek). Any who I seem to have gotten off track, let me get start over again. Games which are great I buy on release day for their full prices. Games which I deem to be OK, not that great, but still good enough to buy or are super over hyped (like your game Quantic Dream) I get from the pre-owned or bargain bin, if I want an new gaming project. I mean what does this IGN article actually want from us? Are we supposed to feel sorry for thes big game development & publishing companies? They make millions pounds from their new games ALL THE TIME!! So what if they lose some money after the game is resold that's just the way the world works! If someone has something they don't want & someone else wants it, that person should be allowed to TRADE IT!! Whether it be for money or whatever the people involved in the trade deem to be fair. Are we expected to keep everything we own regardless of whether we want it or not, just so no-one who hasn't paid full whack for it happens to get their mitts on it for free or a fraction of the price it originally was!!! If that's the case I better go outside right now & get the contents of my bin back & tip it upon my kitchen floor, before Tesco comes knocking on my door blaming me for allowing the local dogs to steal the scrap pieces of food & wrappers I bought from them & then shamefully putting them outside & allowing these dogs to have a free meal!!! I mean, I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but not everyone is the Co-Founder of a company or have evolved to the point where they can starting s***ing money!!

Oh were did it all go so wrong?

You see like most geeky or nerdy hobbies, games are extremely expensive. Not everyone can afford games worth £40. I mean we're a recession at this moment in time & I'm so sorry if your company can only afford to live in a 60 foot storey, ivory  tower as opposed to 70 foot storey, ivory tower you actually dreamed of having your whole life, YOU P****! To think that these companies deserve every penny we earn from their games just because they made them & you yourself can't is ridiculous. You don't see jewellers who sell gold necklaces, grabbing pitchforks & touches & going up in arms outside pawn shops, because people have re-sold their gold or traded it for cash, do you???  To my knowledge no other entertainment medium costs so much or has fans as loyal as we the gaming community (except maybe prostitutes & the red light district... but that's a whole over story). This ass & all game companies need to shut the hell up!!! We’re all working hard for a living & just want some form of entertainment to help us pass the mind crushing boredom that is work & life, comprende!!!

If anyone else has any opinions similar or completely against my point of view, I welcome all comments in the comment section down below this article & will try to respond if possible. Thanks for reading.

Self Made Quotes

While walking by myself today, my mind wondered a bit & for some reason I started to create my own random quotes in my head. These are what I came up with. All quotes are 100% created by me. I hope you enjoy them and find some truth to what they say & mean, enjoy.

  • To rise above yourself, is the greatest challenge you’ll ever attempt.
  • Jesus may have died for our sins, but we’re the ones who have to live with them.
  • If life has taught me anything it’s this, there are many things to learn in life.
  • It is possible to be known by everyone, but it is impossible to be loved by everyone.
  • The symbol of love maybe a heart, but the true feelings of love, come from what's inside your head.
  • It’s not just what you do that defines you; it’s what you choose not to do, that defines you as well.
  • Without fear we’d have nothing, but ambition to guide us.

Video Game Rant! - Tetris

*What follows is a rant by me, about a particular video game and an extortionate ebay seller. If you happen not to care about either of these things then you can stop reading this message right now & just P*ss off! Thank you.* 

First off the reason why I'm doing this whole rant thing is while I was flicking around the internet today & I just happened to come across this ebay seller, who was selling a Japanese version of the original Tetris signed by its original creator. What a nice little collectable item I thought to myself (even though Tetris & Sega never really meant that much to me or even filled me with a single teaspoon of nostalgia) I as fan of all things gaming could still appreciate this rare collectable item... until I saw the seller wanted $1,000,000 for it. WHAT!!!!!!! (I thought to myself, this guy must be having a laugh) but he's not! (Just to make things clear at this point, before we proceed. I am against the extortion of selling games & other collectables [like the jack*ss selling this game] & not the game Tetris itself or any other type of collectables or indeed the selling of such collectables at a resalable & fair price for all true fans of any particular franchise.) While I myself love video games (more than most things in this pitiful existence we call life) & am indeed what most people would refer to as an 'uber geek' (& as such finds some level of enjoyment in collecting things related to this sub culture). If I did by some slim chance ever win the lottery or inherit $1,000,000 (Which I wouldn't because I live in Britain & the currency I use is called pounds) I am certain that I would never ever, ever, ever, ever want / need / attempt to buy this item on ebay, for this ridiculous price it is. Unless by some chance it could also summon about a real life Tetris type apocalypse whereby several different type blocks would fall from the sky in slow-motion to hopefully crush me & everything in existence, as a form of punishment for spending a stupid amount of money on a single game just because its rare & has the creators signature on it. When in fact the money could be put to a better use, like buying lots more video games, hookers & a little island that could be used to create my super villian's liar from that one bond film I really like... Just saying :/

If you too would like to view this item on ebay then feel free to the URL link is right under this sentence -

Anime & Manga

Aren't you guys lucky? 'Why?' You ask. Well I've just happened to have made a cool little list on this old blog of mine containing several cool wesite addresses which contain hundreds of hours worth of anime and manga material. The links can all be found on the top right hand side of this blog labelled 'For All Your Anime And Manga Needs' (which is just above my pitterful follower count, lol) It currently contains 10 sites but I plan to add more as & when I find them. All of the sites offer reading and viewing for free :) So what are you waiting for? Go and enjoy yourself :P

Poem 1 - Angel On Mortal Floor

Laughter now amidst my own confusion

For I saw an image of which I can’t be sure.

Her Hair matched that of autumn moors

And healed me better than any witch doctor cures.

Tangled tightly in her rose torn petals

I was smothered happily by a heavenly, creamy, warmth.


I do not care for the ticking clocks

As white rocks shine brighter than any stars.

Love is different in each moment’s past

And tis this moment where I feel it last.

Ecstasy has fallen upon this naive lap of mine

And fixes parts of me which others dare not see.


A face that captures my briefest moments

May mean nothing to most as they disappear fast.

Yet underneath these God kissed skies

It means more to you than any golden surprise.

I believe I found an angel on mortal floor

And now she flies beside me, everywhere I go.

Poems

I've decided (against my better judgement) to put some of my poems I've been working on for the last few years up on my blog. I will start with one of my first 'Angel On Mortal Floor' and add others as & when I feel like. (Hopefully you'll also notice & see my level of progression too - doubtful though, lol). I would love & welcome any criticism or comments of any kind. I only ask that you please enjoy :)

20 Reasons Why Life Is A Joke Of Bad Taste

(1)Because you work your whole life to have everything you want and then you die and lose it all. What's the point?

(18)Because rugby is basically soft gay porn with mud wrestling and the prospect of being touched by 29 other men with the chance of scoring with half of them on TV.


(19)Because communism works up to a point and then you have to share your girlfriend/ wife with the village.


(20)Because you're the second tallest guy at the gig and the tallest guy is standing right in f***ing front of you.
