blarg cali heatwave

man its been hot as balls here. i can barely get my work done let alone blog.  but its finally getting better and i'm not sleeping 23 hours (or more) each day.  i live in silicon valley with is smack dab in the middle of a desert. but some of my friends in Sacramento have had it worse. i heard they were having peaks of 110 degrees F.  its only topped about 101 here which isn't much better but still 9 degrees of not blazing hot sun.

borderlands new dlc is out and i'm downloading it as we speak. its not too bad size wise. 1.3 gb i think.  i've been playing saints row 2 coop with my bro the last few days. its still a fun game.i think they did GTA better then GTA. but i might be bias cause i really like the coop aspect of the game. too bad its only 2 players. the only problem is that its choppy on the pc. and thats the company that ported it over's fault. lazy bastards unwilling to optimize the code. but lucky it only happens when you're driving fast. but that makes the driving missions super hard.   but there are other things to do other then driving.  you can do the hoing mini game XD. yea really hoing. you go in and "have sex" with dudes or dudettes sadly you don;t see anything and its all controller stick moves.
but errr... haha yea i'll probably talk about the new borderlands dlc in the near future. probably after the weekend.

well i wasn't gonna post a linky this time but this fell into my lap last min and i had to share it.  if you're gay for zelda then you probably already know about the new game Skyward sword. but to help you get hungry for the game here are some new screenies that were posted on kotaku recently
http://kotaku.com/5651661/zelda-skyward-sword-is-looking-a-little-different/gallery/

i think it looks good even though its slightly different from the E3 screens

and tbh i feel bad about suck a lame linky(tho the content is cool its feels short to me) so i'm gonna post a song from one of the autotune the news guys. i recently discovered they also are songwriters lol i know right? i'm retarded. but yea i love this song and from what i can tell its something mike gregory wrote. but if anyone knows for sure let me know

new simpsons?

well i heard on the radio today that the new season of the simpsons was gonna start tonight. lets say it was a mixed bag for me. i loooove the simpsons even the not so great newer ones are very good by most tv standards.  but i digress.  i thought that they were gonna end it after the movie. but then there was the writers strike during the season during/after the movie and they had another season.  that was last season. but alas new season of simpsons can't be that bad. and futurama is back on the air so i ought to be happy. 

the new borderlands dlc is supposed to come out in 2 days. i'm excited and alittle mad. haha i still haven't found any pearlescent items yet.  but i did stop play for a while now.  i also heard the new castlevania HD dlc is coming out at the end of the month. but i'm unsure how true that rumor is.  i'm excited for that one tho.  a whole new map and 2 new characters, and probably a slew of new items.

well now for the best part....linkys.  i'm doing something special today. and since you guys seemed to really like the yt video i'm gonna post a couple more.
this is one of my favorite mash ups. and as one of the commenter said  you didn't get rick rolled you got rick rocked


and this is a response to my friend over at http://epic-tunes.blogspot.com/ and his new post today.  but when i saw what he put up i knew he had to see this but i think you guys would like it too. also check out some of his other vids he makes an ocarina out some crazy things like broccoli.



and lastly i'm glad you like the last vid i posted and some one did comment that he should make more vids. and he does. check his channel. he does a song by the beetles and one he wrote himself. and others but those are the 2 that stick out in my mind

and god said,"let there be an MMO!"

haha that title sounds really bad but i'm totally serious.  apparently The Bible Online just finished with its beta test and is gonna go live in EU really soon. it is a browser based mmo and takes place in the time during the book of genesis . too read a bit more about it here is a link

well to be honest its not the 1st reglious based MMO. though its usually based on something that is based on the said region i.e. Ragnarok online was based on the manga/anime that borrows heavily from Norse mythology.  but this is boom right in your face.  now yes i know you don;t have to play it.  but is it an affront? or even offensive? how about the christian point of view? let me know what you guys think.  personally i have mixed feeling about it.  i'm not christian but i don't know it just feels weird.maybe there is a demographic of christian gamers out there and i never new about cause i'm busy chopping up Dracula and shooting down uavs. i remember seeing a pop up ad for a rock band/ guitar hero rip off with christian rock in it. i don;t know if it was a scam but it looked really shitty. and i never gave it a second thought till now.  well i guess thats my little rant , there isn't much i can say about it other then it confuses me and i can't say its a bad idea, but i'm pretty sure it is. 

and now today's link of the day is a video...gasp indeed.  well this a cuuuute little asian boy that covers Jason mraz's i'm yours on a ukulele.  i can't stress how adorable it is though.  but he's asian and like 4 or soemthing so don;t expect ....words or anything. but for those of you  that play guitar or uke watch him play its for serious impressive.  but here it is i hope you enjoy it

i want the 20 mins of my life back....

well it seems that i have lost 20 mins of my time playing the new blade kitten demo.  sigh. i always do this to myself. it is literally one of the worse games i ever played.  like seriously its like a nurato/inu yasha fan fic redone for a future cat-woman bounty hunter.  in the 1st min of the intro cut scene its oozing weeaboo-ness. the main character is realllly annoying  her voice is pitchy and somewhat grating.  and her antagonist is supposed to be her polar opposite so shes "elegant" sounding. but she just sounds like a britsh dick.  and the worse part is when you find a hidden area and open the chest for extra cash, it plays something i can only described as extremely japanese. and the money they use in the game even looks like the yen symbol. but instead of a Y is an X......really guys? really?. now for the story which is much better only because it doesn't even seem to exist. i can sumit up in 3 words. chase the bitch.  and now add on some not great controls where the character feels really stiff and jumping isn't really up to you which direction you jump( okay tbh its only when you jump off a wall it won;t let you jump back on the the wall you were on originally. but still its annoying).  it got so annoying (both cause of the sound and weird jumping/climbing mechanics) i gave up on exploring and tried to rush through the level. and yes i stuck it all the way through the whole demo. and to relate to what i started the paragraph with i don't know why i do that to myself, but i keep thinking that maybe there is something good over the next horrible jump.  but as much as i dislike the every essence of this game. i have to give it this. it is gorgeously presented.   the models are well made, even though the designs look like some super otaku came up with them, the cel shading works extremely well.  and i thought this was actually innovating. where the main character(lol shes so unoriginal and forgettable i can't even remember her name) goes behind  an object in the foreground that would block a view of her they do a cut away/cross section veiw that is very well done and works very well. like a big blockbuster film that spent all its money on cgi and explosions.  nice to look at but a frustrating experiance.

if you guys remember i started playing ME2 again. the dlcs are quite clever and i enjoyed them alot for the most part.  the hammerhead jet thing was really lame and i hated how anything could kill me. no seriously a regular geth with a gun killed me the 1st time i used it. well i have a confession about ME tho.  as hot as miranda was i'm like in LOVE with tali. so playing through again trying to get the bad ending was 1. harder then i thought, and 2. made me mad again that i didn't get to see tali's face. i mean whyyyyy do you gotta play me like that bioware.... you tease T-T. 

lastly i'm thinking of starting to end my blogs with links to cool stuff on the web.  i don;t know if its a great idea since i'm very sure i can't do it in every entry. but i'd love to share cool things i run across or get linked to. well what do you guys think? and lets start it off with this
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation

this is zero puntuations video gallery over at the escapist site.  i'm sure most of you have heard of him. but i love him and his rapid and funny take on games. for those of you that haven;t heard of him click and enjoy

jadusable is gone

well for now atleast.  he announced that he can no longer support that ARG that is the haunted majora mask game.  which is very sad because it was so much fun and very interesting. and now there is the flood of people claiming they knew it was fake. which only makes them look dumber because it was a full blown ARG for weeks now. but alas there is a light at the end of the tunnel for those of you that enjoyed playing it. he did say that its not over forever but just on hold for now. which means it may start up again. but i feel it just might not be the same. like if bush got back together now. too much time my have passed and it would be weird and not as good as we remembered. but  here's to hoping right? i think he's accepting donations now and youcan see his real truth.txt at his ARG site
http://www.youshouldnthavedonethat.net/

but sadly its the end of a chapter in what was a really fun and great story. and even if its not your cup of tea i really suggest checking it out it was very well done and was good at sucking in people, well me atleast. and there were tones of chatrooms devoted to trying to fine clues and what they meant.

lastly with everyone playing reach i feel lonely. well i mean i got no one to play with since i'm not a halo fan and everyone is playing it while i'm stuck with ....not halo. don;t get me wrong i played one and played 3 with large group for story coop. but never really a fan. i don't see why its so popular. there are much better shooters out there in my opinion.  tf2, bfbc2, hell even mw2 is better.  but to each their own. i guess i'll just have to wait for the new bfbc2 expansion or rock band 3. real guitar ftw ~

ita ARG for realz and DMC all better?

well the jadusable majora's mask thing is a full on ARG now. i'm really liking it. i feel like a detective looking for clues and trying to figure things out.  its alot of fun and if anyone whats to join/help come to the creep+pasta blog or the youtube channel and contribute.  there is even an wiki and encyclopediadramatcia articles now. also for those of you who are playing/following a new video is up and its time to look for clues. happy hunting guys

but on to more exciting news.  looks like they're rebooting games now like they are doing with movies and tv shows. there were rumors of them rebooting resident evil after 5 came out. and i wasn't sure if i believed them up until now.  they've got screen shots and a trailer for a reboot of the devil may cry games. and to be honest i kind of like the way its going. dante was kinda lame after dmc 1 and 4 was just dumb.  he's got a whole new look and seems to have some kinda mental...problems? well here is a link cane i'm too lame to figure out how to get the embed code from the site. also it save me the trouble of linking the pics too haha

busy....with blue screen of DEATH

haha well as the title says i had a problem with the famous BSOD. every time i'd load into windows its crash immediately into the BSOD. strangely enough it happened to when i was talking to Von Bio.  and for some reason it made me thikn about the Majora's mask thing. back tracking just for a sec. i'm been totally obsessed with the story since i found out there are a bunch of clues and its like this whole mystery game.  anyway but yea tbh my compy has been doing some really weird stuff after i downloaded the truth.rtf.  and now i find out my c:drive is an unknown partition type. weird right? haha i'm sure its all a coincidence.  but its stuff like that that can start some really weird stories. if you are following the story then you should know about the cleverbot, if not go check it out. the bot has enough stored about ben and majora's mask to produce some funny and sometimes creepy convos about it.  but yea i love mysteries and i hope i or someone can figure this out. its super fun. 


well while i was fixing my compy's BSOD problem i watched a movie i forgot i had on my laptop.  it was called Outlander with James Caviezel and Sophie Myles, who is so hot but even hotter as a red head. it was an okay movie, and as always i did some research about it(don't judge me i like researching).  anywho, apparently it came out in 2008 and was nominated for best sci-fi movie.  but i never heard of it which isn't too uncommon cause i go through phases with movies. sometimes i'll watch all the new ones sometimes i won't watch one for years. it had an okay story, very high production value though.  over all if you like a viking story with a tiny bit of sci-fi tossed into it then this might be for you.

other then that trying to do homework is so hard lately. i just want to sleep all day. and i'm not to fond of my drawing clothed figures class. maybe i'm just used to drawing nudes xD.  but i'm liking my other classes. i gotta go out and shoot some textures tomorrow. if i get any really nice pics i'll post them. lastly i kind of wish ben had infected my computer. i would try to convince it to help me take over the world or help me get some ladies XD
