The worst thing you can do in any Castlevania is let the boss orb (Or other primary object dropped by the boss) drop to the ground. Catching it in midair is preferred but you are in the pink even if it falls on your head before it hits the ground.

Please don't embarrass yourselves and miss any boss orbs alright?

So I was thinking, maybe I'd get Ghostbusters on PC, only $20 or something on steam. I like the Ghostbusters, I watched that movie last week and it's still great.

But before I did, I checked some forums and apparently only half of people can actually get the game to load, and even then the frame rate is horrible due to heavy demands on videocards. What's up with PC versions of console games tending to have these problems (GTA4 comes to mind foremost)? I constantly hear of much too high requirements, horrible bugs, oppressive DRM and so on. Should probably avoid any game on PC that was on a console first these days before seeking user reviews.

On a similar note I sold my PS3 a little while ago due to poverty and not really feeling like I needed it for much. I may regret this later, but my thinking is I will be able to get the slim ps3 by then.

I haven't talked in a while. Not much going on here, honest!

Have you ever left a slice of pizza in the garbage and it grows this wooly kind of mold on it? What the fuck is that jazz. It was like a Pizza afro.
Yeh it's gross, sorry. Yes; I threw it out pretty soon after I found out, I do take out the garbage often, really.

Turns me off of Pizza though. That mold showed up OVERNIGHT.

THE GOOD:
- Saboteur...it could work really well, or it could be really bad (think about mercenaries). It's one to look out for.
- Brutal Legend looks like a great and wonderful cartoon and I hope the gameplay is there for it too.
- Did anybody else notice the GTAesque MMO All Points Bulletin? Looks like the most innovative and interesting MMO out of E3 and it's getting the least attention!
- Red Steel 2, finally the game I wanted in the first place! I'm glad we have at least 3 options for the motion+ bundling.
- The Wario thing for making your own levels and stuff, of course!
- Other M, looks like a great action game to me. Finally a Metroid I can feel excited about.
- Modnation Racers thing looks great and more interesting than LBP, I am worried that it might be shallow like LBP though.
- MURAMASA! was confirmed for north america (awesome 2d slasher for wii I've been waiting for)
- C.O.P. !! Very exciting I think, could be great.
- Scribblenauts!!! Most interesting looking DS game thus far announced.
- Castlevania by Kojima!!!! Could this is the 3D castlevania that works? I think yes.
- Whatever else I'm missing, and things I already knew.

THE BAD:
- Microsofts Camera thing. This is not the future of gaming. Dear Mr.Microsoft CEO: If Wii users sit on the couch flicking their hands around, it's because that's what they want to do, stupid. Gaming is not sports. Maybe I'll write more about this later.
- Sony's Camera thing. Looks like they just crammed this prototype into the presentation because they didn't know Microsoft would announce theirs.
- Ubisoft's Camera thing : HOW MANY CAMERAS CAN MY TV FIT?
- Beatles Rock Band? i would of rather had any other game for The Beatles. What a waste.
- Star Wars: Old republic reminds me a lot of every other overhyped MMO. They proved nothing and nobody except the most brainless Star Wars fan should be fooled.
- James Cameron going on about for an hour about Avatar with nothing to show for it.
- Everybody adding facebook/iPhone/myspace integration nonsense that I'll never use.
- New Super Mario Brother wii: Heard the news guys? Not only is this the DS game for wii, but the 4 player function is NO ON WIFI. Well fuck that.
- Crappy Square games for nintendo systems that looked really crappy.
- Wii Sports resort attempt at "basketball", WTF was that?
- Dumb games for girls and stuff like that about growing demographics and all that bullshit.
- A lot of other dumb shit. Really I can't bother writing about it all, there's a lot I just don't care about.

THE UGLY:
- Metal Gear Rising. OK. Thanks. Raiden with an eye-patch.
- Metal Gear on the PSP thing, the trailer was weird, I'm not so sure.
- Left4Dead 2. Looks good, but what a bad and horrible business decision this could be.
- Final Fantasy XIV, FF11 was a good MMO, so this could be great. But they could of waited for FF13 to be out or not called it FF14.
- The Last Guardian, OK; tell me more.
- Super Mario Galaxy 2, but what's new about it aside Yoshi?
- No More Heroes 2, but what's new about it aside story!?

THE ALSO:
- Zelda on a train.
- Watching Steve Wiebe attempt the Donkey Kong record was very exciting.
- WII VITALITY SENSOR!!

I'm on a Boat? how about I'M ON A BLIMP? Little Kuribo's still at it.

The Switcher made this video-only cover; Like a BIG BOSS! (Some MGS4 spoilers)

I have a confession to make, I've become kind of a wineo. I'm not like a drunk or anything, or a wine snob. I just drink about 2 glasses of red wine a day, usually in the fucking afternoon. It helps me survive the harsh vigors of thinking too hard. Also I hear this shit is really good for my heart and lungs so that's awesome.

But, I have some trouble with wine. Despite drinking it so much; I still think wine is nothing special. I find nothing elegant about wine. I find wine is more something sort of like how some people like Cigars, I like it partially because it's disgusting; and the another reasons mentioned above, and for the sake of efficiency (beer is far less efficient). When you drink wine you're essentially drinking garbage. It really is; It's grapes smashed up by feet and left to rot in the sun for a long time. I just can't find a red wine with enough of a NOT SO wine flavor to it, which would be ideal; as everybody is crazy about having their rich full-bodied flavor in wine. I guess these people actually LIKE wine. Weirdos... Anyway I've gone through about 20 brands, gone around the world. French, Italian, Spanish, Local, Californian, and so on. I just can't find the red wine for me.

The other problem I got is these fucking CORKS. That stuff has got to be unscrewed and it's especially a pain when they use REAL CORK because sometimes it splinters off and I got to drink cork with my wine (doesn't add much, trust me). Some people get really excited about real cork, which I can't understand; maybe they're just stupid. Anyway why can't they just get with the 21st century and use some plastic sealant system instead? I swear I saw something like this once, and if I knew where to find these I wouldn't have so much trouble storing my wine for later. It's so painful trying to force that cork back in the bottle.

That's all I got to say about this for the moment.

First of all there is this one, Fatal Fury for NEO-GEO home systems:


As we can see here, Terry Bogard is being punched off what appears to be a ferris wheel by a misdrawn Andy Bogard... Who the hell starts a fight on a ferris wheel anyway? Andy happens to look a lot like Patrick Swayze here. What's especially crazy about this is Terry Bogard is the hero of Fatal Fury. He's the main character and he's being MURDERED BY HIS BROTHER who is on his side! Who approved this? Well that's not the end of it friends, Street Fighter II for Super Nintendo:


:O Again here we have the main character, in this case Ryu lying on the ground unconscious apparently taken down by Blanka. What is more he is about to collide with Chun-Li; who looks ill-prepared to take on the roll; that kick she is attempting is not going to be fast enough. Basically here, this artist sure loved Blanka. He loved him so much that he made him an unstoppable killing machine taking out the two of the most important and liked characters in Street Fighter II.

Both games were released around late 1991 early 1992. Was this a bad time period for main characters of videogames? More research may be warranted.
Thanks to johnyhaggard for pointing these out.

This is even better if you understand Street Fighter II Mechanics.

Doing some image searches on Pixav have revealed to me, what seemed like a strange phenomenon, many characters I was looking for pictures of showed up on BREAD.


Tieria and Jiraiya for instance, both drawn on bread! WTF?

I wasn't sure quite what to makes of this, I thought perhaps there was some japanese fandom codewords going on here, as they were all by different artists. I remained perplexed for weeks. Then I came across a certain website and the mystery was solved: http://www.breadartproject.com/ "The Bread Art Project"

This website, you draw a picture on bread, and you help fight hunger in America. It's nice for so many Japanese people to pitch in, a search for bread-related images on Pixav labeled "pan (パン)" turned up 300+ results. I'll draw something on bread to fight hunger myself a bit later, when I'm in my drawing groove.

I came across a 1400+ post thread about who would win a fight, Son Goku or Superman.... I won't link it to spare them more spamming. It is an interesting debate, and usually I would of been inclined to believe Goku to win, because his power seems so unfathomable and Superman's powers seem more grounded. However, the debate was quickly over when the Superman adherents cited numerous powers "Silver Age Superman" were far more unfathomable than Goku's, and also well documented. People tend to underrate Superman because the one we see in the movies and cartoons isn't too nuts, but a bit of research into the comics shows just how sick Superman is, I am absolutely convinced.

Here's some proof that Supes is about the most overblown powerful hero ever:


He's so fast that he... leaves the universe. There's a lot of other speed examples but this is the best.

Stop a supernova, not a big deal I guess?

A million nuclear blasts? He lives. This is before he goes another round with Doomsday, this isn't even silver age!

Superman claims his heat vision can *melt the sun*! is this true? Well:

If you can accidentally blow up a solar system because you sneeze, I guess melting the sun is no big deal.

With only 3/4th of his power and a few seconds left, he moves the earth and saves the day.

But whatever, he can just blow the earth into orbit.


Now with this matter settled, I no longer seek to make a comic that is simply more ridiculous that Dragonball, I have to make one that beats Superman. This is going to be a challenge.

This had come up recently, I was having a discussion over some plot details of Street Fighter Alpha. After Bison is killed in this game, he is said to of inhabited Rose's body. I found this a bit odd, for a time Bison had to occupy a woman's body... But then the possibility came up, maybe this isn't so odd at all?

A bit of background for you, First off is the character of Rose. Rose's power is the product of Bison casting off all the goodness in his soul, and she is drawn to defeat and expell her "evil side" as she knows its power. Then there's another matter, Bison's "dolls", You see there is the likes of Juni and Juli, and several other female bodyguards (assumed T.Hawk's sister is one), however Cammy is said to be a completely artificial creation. Cammy was created to be the new perfect body for Bison. However, things don't go completely as planned as Bison decides Ryu would be better, and Cammy turns out to have too much free-will to be controlled.



After Bison is killed, he Instantly skips into Rose's body. This isn't good enough for him however as he gets a new one in time for Street Fighter II. Yes, those are two different Bison bodies; The one in SF2 isn't as powerful. I'm not sure about his SF4 body yet as they haven't revealed much, however that Rose has broken free and that he starts off in a some type of bio chamber seems to insinuate yet another body, plus the inclusion of his teleportation powers suggest increased limits.

Now, if Bison's second body in SF2 isn't his original, it can be said his one in SFA isn't his original either. This case is supported by the rumored plot detail that Bison was a Nazi back in the day (which would make his SFA body much older if it was original). Combine this with that the "ultimate" body he created for himself (Cammy) is female, and the the good part of his soul happens to inhabit another girl (Rose), and you have a pretty good case that Bison is a chick. It can at least be said, M. Bison doesn't particularly care if he or she is a man or a woman.

BOW AND ARROWS?

thanks to gizmog1 for pointing this one out for me. For those with the 360 who will never know my L4D leetness...



Interesting things having to do with my weapon usage. I do make good use of the pistols; although this has a lot to do with ammo rationing.

Oh, and according to other stats, I play most as Francis (35%) and No Mercy is my most played camp (65%)

I don't know what most of you are doing anymore. I do however know, Davy Crockett was a pretty awesome guy... a legendary figure who made up most of the stories by himself! Uh, yeh; tell me what's been going on!

Herdez Salsa Cesera Mild is the greatest salsa ever. I know you may be thinking I'm some wuss for picking Mild. Not the case sirs, I can handle a lot of spiciness, I've been known to eat habernero sauce and WORSE without complaining. But when it comes to nachos/tortilla chips I'd rather have something that doesn't overpower them and tastes nice and fresh.

So I found my Uzumaki volumes. i kind of expected that, the longer it would go on the less it'd stop being funny and start being downright scary. Turns out it is getting a hell of a lot scarier, but it's actually managing to get funnier at the same time. Maybe I'm just really twisted though.

My interest in Naruto has kind of rekindled lately as they started airing the dub at 0400 every day now, the timeslot usually nothing of any value is on, So it's actually a huge reprieve for me that time of that day. I gave up on Naruto when Sasuke killed [that character], but perhaps I was over-reacting a bit.

You people are boring the fuck out of me, so I'm just gonna leave nasty comments on your journals all night. What are friends for? You're such great guys. Thanks a lot.

Seriously, people shouldn't be allowed to be so bored, why are you neglecting me? I'm too damn handsome to get this little attention! Here; Here's my latest project. I decided to takes some characters and give them some macho facial hair! Here's my first go at it:


SAGAT WITH A MOTORHEAD MUSTACHE!!

Yeh; OK so If you got any requests for characters I should give some facial hair, drop me a line and I'll man them up! Aren't I a nice guy? Yeh I think so too.

Hullabaloo
Triangulation
Coaxial

What's up with that?
