You know there was a time that all I could do was think about video games. Infact most my family called it my drug of choice. I've always been a peculiar one to my family. Most of them for that matter are either gangsters/ ex-gangsters who love to drink and get high. I've never been into "low-riders". I've never been into the whole "brown and proud" thing/ (I'm not ashamed to be hispanic) I was never big into fights, and I never cared if I was popular in school. I do have to admit though that my artwork did raise alot of eyebrows. ( http://deviantart.com/sendmn23 ) while I was in school. In my family I was the odd one. Most my good friends are white. In my family if I think about it none of them have white, or black friends. I don't know why I've always gotten along with White people more than my own kind. When I was a kid growing up I was huge into comic books, graphic novels, and yes books too. I've always been into video games and movies, more than anything else.....
Since I got married I've noticed I've found it really hard to get into a game. I can't seem to escape into a game withouth having my wife wanting me to take part in something..... Its really starting to get on my nerves, but I Love her none the less. I really don't know whats going on with me...
I still have to finish playing Grand Theft Auto 4, Oblivion, Dead Space, Silent Hill 5, Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5, Prince of Persia, Killzone 2, Final Fantasy: Tactics advance (psp), Metal Gear Solid portable ops..... I just can't seem to escape into a game like I used too.... I remember I could just spend an entire week playing a game and just relishing everything about it. I mean I used to get so damn excited about a games release that I could barely contain it.... now, Now I get the game and I leave it in plastic for at least a week before I boot it up.... Is it me? I mean could I be Jaded with games now a days? I mean the only real escape I get is Halo 3, and thats only for short intervals.... whats the deal?
I mean for a while there I would Play Final Fantasy x ever three months. I would go through all of my Resident Evil games at least once a year..... I would play games I havent played in a while... now I can't even play the new games I get... I think its just me don't you?
Its really, really absurd the kind of moderation you are subject to here at Gamspot.... If you go into any News relating to a current generation console taking a step of ahead of the other, and you state an opinion that goes against the Fanboy mentality occupying that News colum you're comment is stripped. Really I'm sick and tired of all this little kid crap going around. I can't even say I'm only going to buy exclusives for the Playstation3 without having some Fanboy getting all hot and bothered about it. Why should it bother them anyway? I'm not trying to influence any one. I'm not here trying to promote the X-box 360, or vis versa... I just find it aggrivating that I can't say anything about anything without having some over passionate fat boy saying I was intentionaly trying to insult him for his love of Playstation.... DUMB!! This is horrible, you can't even state your own oppinion here..... I'm really upset. Its funny that even trying to stay somewhat unbiased in order to avoid any future dealings with the moderator you still get in trouble, they may not notify you, but you're comment is hidden while a couple a comments down the line there is someone completely breaking all the rules.
I've owned 4 Playstation 1's. I've owned 6 playstation 2's. I've owned 2 playstation 3's. I've owned 2 x-box's. I've owned 2 Nintendo Gamecubes. I've owned 2 Sony Psp's. I've owned a Nintendo Gameboy. I've owned a Nintenedo Gamecube Advance. I've owned 3 Nintendo D.s.'s. I've owned 3 original Nintendo Entertainment systems. I've owned 2 Nintendo 64's. I've owned 1 Super Nintendo. I've owned 1 Sega Dreamcast. In my life I've spent over 20 grand on video games.... I'm not biased I'm a gamer! thats what I do!! I play games. I love video games.... I'm one for interactive entertainment as being the next evolution in entertainment. So I dont understand why these Fan Boys find it so neccesary to cry and moan like little kids about whose system is better. I'm a gamer and despite all the flaws in the X-box 360 I prefer it a thousand times over the Playstation 3. I mean the only reason I got my Playstation this time around was for Metal Gear SOlid 4, Final Fantasy, God of war 3, and the promise of Kingdom Hearts...... so it doesnt bother me when these games go multi platform. I will end up buying them for the x-box 360 thats just my prefference and it shouldn't bother anyone.

Theres this video on youtube called the "The Pieces of Cloud Strife"... This video probably sums up the life of Cloud from final fantasy 7. I never really knew how powerful the story was or the story of his life, but man I was literally moved to tears by watching this video. I've been playing everything that has to do with Final Fantasy 7, and when I watched the video its like I finaly understood.... I understood how sad the life of Cloud Strife is....
I used to wonder why he was the way he was. Why was he so sad in Advent children... After Playing Final Fantasy 7 : Crisis core it became clear. You play as Zack Fair who is in every way the complete oppisite of Cloud. He is happy go lucky, and always looking at the brighter side... If there was Never a Zack Fair there would have never been Cloud Strife.... Out of all the Final Fantasy's I've ever played this one has got to be the saddest... Now more than ever as a fan I wish that Square Enix would remake this masterpiece with the technology of today... it deserves as much... this is one of those games that has earned its place on gaming history...
