shitty box art

I think MGS4 has the worst box art I've ever seen.

LIFE

So today unlike other days where I see my doctor across the street from Northridge Hospital I was coming from Sierra Canyon Middle School after seeing the annual Solar Car Races with my mom. She dropped me off instead of me taking my car and parking it. So after another downing apointment I was walking out to the driveway at the street waiting for my mom to pick me up when I notice a man. He was wearing a ripped Dodgers shirt and would have looked homeless if anyone had cared to look at him. But he came up to me as my iPhone died and asked if he could use my telephono. And as I looked up I see his head has a big bruise and he is spitting up blood. So I ask if he needs emergencia and he says si and I tell him my cell is muerto but wait herte Ill get help. So I ran to the parking booth and sai to the man inside "There is a man over there who needs 911 and he is bleeding call 911 now" So my mom shows up Im sitting next to a guy who is bleeding and the paramedics show up. I waited with him for about 20 minutes and all he kept saying was that someone beat him and to call his brother and father in Spanish. When the Ambulance showed up they were not going to take him across the street to the hospital but to a county hospital because he didnt have any insurance. I post this story because I saced this man's life when no one would look at him because of how he looked. I do this also because of how sheltered some of you are. You do not believe this happens this close ro you or at all. However there is benerefits from this story. First, my Spanish is excellent, and second no matter how bad it may look it could be worse.

Sweet Sweet Justice

Dava Tunis, the Judge who presided over the Florida Bar Trial for Jack Thompson has recommended that he be found guilty on 27 of 31 misconduct charges and now the Florida Supreme Court will have to decide his ultimate fate.


Most of these misconduct charges come from his crusade against mature vidja gaems.

* Knowingly making a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal
* Knowingly disobeying an obligation under the rules of a tribunal
* Communicating the merits of the case with a judge before whom the proceeding is pending
* Using means that have no purpose other than to embarrass, delay or burden a third person
* Engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation
* Engaging in conduct in connection with the practice of law that is prejudicial to the administration of justice, including to knowingly or through callous indifference disparage or humiliate litigants or other lawyers
* Making statements that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge


For someone who harps so much on morals in games, Jack Thompson doesn't seem like the most moral person out there...

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
No-one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

Ill send an sos to the world
Ill send an sos to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart

Ill send an sos to the world
Ill send an sos to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle

Bad Company, Good News!

So I've finally managed to get my ass off of the high pedestal of PC bigotry to take a look at DICE's very near-future team-based shooter, Battlefield: Bad Company, which up until this week I had dismissed as just another console spin-off of the popular PC multiplayer franchise. And boy was I wrong. The destruction in this game isn't just a stupid gimmick as I had so arrogantly rejected it as before, but rather a real gameplay mechanic that looks awesome and seems like it'll add a lot to the game. It also seems that in a very DICE-ish move, they're staying true to the franchise and keeping console dumbing down to a minimum. Below is a list of things that look awesome followed by one of things that concern me a bit (in no particular order), and as should be expected from the makers of Battlefield 2, the good FAR outweighs that bad.

The Good

Graphics: Battlefield 2's graphics were among the best at its time, and while the same can't be said today, they're by no means unplayable. It seems as though DICE has done it again by crafting some of the most detailed models and textures I've seen in a while and explosions that are second only to those of World in Conflict. They're really pushing the hardware of the 360 and PS3, but managing to keep the frame rate stable with minimal slowdown (which should be all but gone by the time the game is released.

Sound: Dear lord the sound! They did a fantastic job last time with angry-sounding AK-101s, shell-shocking artillery, and super-sonic jets on powerful-sounding bombing runs. They've only improved it from here with explosions that sound like thunder from afar and like menacing blasts up close, and weapons that sound appropriately powerful. Words can't do this justice, you'll need to see a video to understand what I mean.

Weapons: Some cool ones that are under-represented in games like the pretty-much-canceled M8 rifle that was supposed to replace the M16, and the Russian AN-94. Also included are some sweet promotional unlockables like the F2000 (from Splinter Cell and BF2) and M60. Details on these are here. One of 'em is apparently an automatic shotgun.

Destruction: Everyone knows about this one if they've been following it. Pretty much everything can be blown up. Walls on buildings, fences, even the ground can have craters blow in it. I am a bit concerned that idiots will just pick Assault or whatever class (see below) has the anti-tank weapon and run around blowing shit up. I know I will my first match, but that has to get annoying when your "allies" literally start blowing your cover. Still, this promises to add a lot to an already great game.

Gold Rush mode: A new linear-capture attackers vs defenders mode not unlike World in Conflict's Assault maps. Looks promising. One question the mode raises however is how the hell they collect boxes of gold by blowing them up.

June release: Because nothing good ever comes out in the summer (I know there's something, just can't remember is). This'll be a good way to pass the summer game drought.

Iron sights: Instead of a FEAR-style zoom like 1942, just attaching a scope to everything like Modern Combat, and red dots everywhere like 2142. I just prefer open sights.

The Bad

Inaccurate weapons: No, I don't mean you'll miss a lot (though with dual analog I probably will), I mean the weapons aren't really as true to their real life counterparts as other games in the series. I know this is nitpicking, but that's always been one of the better parts of the series. Yes, I know it's a game, but why they gave a lot (all?) of the assault rifles 50-round magazines is beyond me. The M16 is also apparently fully-automatic, which takes away from weapon diversity a bit. This is by no means game-breaking though, just console dumbing down.

Map variety: Much like BF2 and 2142 before it, (less BF2) so far, Bad Company's environments seem to stick to one of two locations: rural eastern-European villages and farmlands and Middle Eastern deserts and villages. Some jungles or snow would be nice, maybe a bigger urban area like Sharqi Peninsula?

Lower play number: To accommodate for the consoles not having as much power as the PC, they won't have as many players, which means the maps have to be smaller, and the battles much less epic. This isn't Battlefield 3, but as long as the density is good it's not a huge problem.

Class combining: I guess the lower player number calls for this since you can't really have balanced mix of seven classes with 12 people on a team as you can with 32. Still, I wasn't a huge fan of this decision in 2142 or Modern Combat (where again the players were fewer). This does take away from some of the teamplay as the Medic is removed entirely and the Support class gets both the light machine gun and health packs and no ammo pack. (I think, don't quote me on that) They also once again combined the engineer and anti-tank classes I believe, which is a more natural combination since you end up with a guy that both destroys and repairs vehicles. Maybe it's actually a more sensible combination if you do it 2142-style and make your own class out of parts of the two, but seeing as how the only customization here is choosing your weapon, that's not the case. Again, not game-breaking, and a bit simpler for the console.

So there you go, quite a bit of reading but there are my impressions. DICE seems to have really put a great amount of work into it and it shows. This game has a lot of potential and I can't wait for it!

Grand Theft Auto IV

I has it
