Not really blog related, but hey, this is my page. I do what I want.
You bastard! How DARE you make a song for TWILIGHT? A movie filled with PANSY, FAKE VAMPIRES! Remember back when vampires weren't emo, gay or both? I sure do. I mean seriously Lupe, I thought you were above this. I love you and your music, but I'm honestly disappointed. I mean, it's freakin' TWILIGHT. Vampires are no longer cool, and it's all because of that GARBAGE. I've been told time and time again that the novels weren't even focused on the vampires but the love story! If that's the case, why DISGRACE vampires and have them forever labelled and humiliated? You could replace them with PYGMY MARMOSETS and still get the point across. CURSE YOU TWILIGHT. AND YOUR MOTHER.
I'm honestly calling a meeting for Richter, Simon and Trevor. They have a very important job to do.
(This is partly serious, partly humor. Any females that may enjoy Twilight, please don't find out where I live and eat me. 
)
I know one of you is probably sick of this topic, (Yes, I'm looking at YOU MissMorphine! ) but this one is gonna be short and sweet.
Enjoy the resurrection of the Jungle Stage Theme (mixed with the Base theme as well) from Contra on the NES, performed by Chris Kline, otherwise known as 'Vertexguy' on YouTube and his personal website. It's finally been taken on in the perfect form of badassness and metallic wonder (That couldn't have been said any nerdier now, could it? 
). If you're a fan of music, you'd want to listen. It's epic. 
With all of the amazing/story driven/beautiful/sandbox/B movie/casual games in today's market, it was actually refreshing to start playing the games that are at least 10+ years old. As it's probably been said a gazillion times before; today's games are made to be beaten. Yesterday's games were made for challenge.
As mentioned in one of my previous blogs, I recently acquired a top loader NES with 25 games (added some more now, see my games list if you're interested ) and it was actually a great experience for me to just pick up and play a game instead of having to watch lengthy cutscenes, go through tutorials and the whole 9 yards. This is something that most may find weird from a guy my age, since I'm in the age group where gore and breasts are the 'pinnacle of awesome'.
I've actually spent most of my time playing the Megaman games. After neglecting them for oh-so-many years, picking up the old NES Megaman and Megaman X games have been a real blast. Testing your reflexes and wits and what-not. Oh yeah, I spent a good deal playing Contra as well. I actually managed to get to level 5 and a get a high score of 70,000 or so without using the infamous Konami code.
Oh man, can't forget the cl@$$ic musical scores that 8-bit monster created as well. Vampire Killer (Castlevania), Bloody Tears (Castlevania II: Simon's Quest [Although I don't own it. 
]), The Jungle Stage (Contra), Dr. Wily's Theme (Megaman 2), along with many other nameless tracks that are just catchy and unforgettable.
Not only does retro gaming bring back that charm games used to have where times were simple, it also makes you use a completely different mentality from today's games. They managed to actually make me think.Something I haven't done while playing games (besides fighters) for a looooooong time.
Does this make me a retro gamer? I guess you could say that. Does this mean that retro will live on in my heart and everything else should die? Hell no.
