I have the vision to see things red, and quite utterly in horrible condition. I have become quite concerned about my growing problem with the VGA issue; not sure whether or not it has to do with my Monitor, or the PC, but I am leaning in the chance it has nothing to do with my monitor...if that makes any sense, but a sigh of relief that my TV isn't developing a qaulity issue. I decided to take a picture (print screen) and save it as an image and upload it...what you see is what you get, and this image, is pretty much what I see when I come here on the internet; also if it were to be visible through the monitor - I believe the PC would not be able to figure this. So if someone could analyze this, it would be helpful, but I'm still not quite sure to be honest. I blame the computer for being as defective since I really really don't wanna accuse my monitor...with that said; I really don't believe computers!

With the 10th one of the Top 20 series, this one has some to deal with computers, and something about cake...not the band Cake, although if the band Cake made a song, would it entail computers? Number 10 is Still Alive, from Portal (from The Orange Box) for the PC / Xbox360 / PS3. I have to admit, Johnathon Coulton, the writer of the song who has done quite a of other songs is very talented. If I didn't have this song on here I don't know what else would've taken the place, even though I am halfway this song is pretty catchy and even if you play it on the Rock Band games as a Free download...Johnathon Coulton has a great collection of other songs, especially Skullcrusher Mountain . I'll have to say though, even though the Orange Box was a amazing game with the multitude of gameplay aspects...I think Still Alive was probably one of the most attentive songs on the whole game; unless I'm wrong and I speak for everyone. It might not be everyone's favorite song, but I think it's very catchy and subtle, also the lyrics are very silly too and I like songs that are a bit fun and not too serious.

I must apologize if I seem to spend my waking hours writing blogs at the earliest time of days, I've been in a tough pickle of trying to figure out the Red-ness I see to wondering how much longer my PC might be alive; it's gradually been getting worst - I expect it has the H1M1 (just kidding). Anyways, things will be getting more interesting from here on out, at least I think so, so I hope you like what's to come, or if not that's okay, so please check around each other day...#9 will be up on Saturday. Good day to you all!!!!

Top 20 Video Game Songs....#11

I must apologize, I had no idea which day it was yesterday...I rarely keep track of which days are what now, the only days that DO stick out are Sun, Wed, Thurs, and all the other days are just days. I was expected to do something yesterday feeling like my day would go someplace but surely enough, whatever was vanished and I was just stuck inside playing Wii golfing games with my father and my brother. Then at 12:35, past midnight, I realized I just escaped from the not so charming nothingness plan of the day into a retreat of gaming and relaxation (unless you throw your arm out from power strokes). To be honest, things haven't been getting any better for me, I had a strange dream last night; my direction in life is faltering by small steps. But no matter what happenes, you can take the bullet or you can cry away and then eat that bullet...and sadly, we all have a bullet with our name on it.

The song of this one, you might not be familiar with, and that's fine...I'm sure I can extend some ideas beyoned what is common. It has been a slow, but gradual song; one that has grown on me and I find myself enjoying it more. From the far reaches of Japan; number 11 is Intro / Loser, from Yakuza 3 (Ryu Ga Gotoku 3) for the Playstation 3 (JP version). While I have no idea what the words to the song are, the music makes the song enjoyable...how many times have you watch a movie when you were young, have no idea what it was about but yet you loved it...or am I just the only one? I also had a link before, which was of the opening featuring the music, one of the few links in this blog series with a video clip rather than game cover art (if I can find those) but I felt it was needed since not many people might be familiar with Yakuza 3 - not being a US or NA release, but the video for the opening video sequence was taken down. I really like this song and even though I did mention from the start that I would not list band songs featured in games, I decided to look up this performer and found the name of the song "LOSER" listed as one of his singles, which would mean he did not prearrange this song for the game...so I'm just gonna let it slid - it's Japanese, it's by someone who's name I have not heard before...and it's just a step below the one featured in the 10th spot.

I guess even though I am a day late on doing this blog, I might have to shift the balance by one day; making the next one featured on Thursday. I will be changing around the title a little bit; certain changes are to be expected although the introduction, statements, and finishing portions will remain. Anyways I said too much with my #11 statements. FINSIH!!!

Top 20 Video Game Songs (continue)...#12

All my friends are robots, or at least most of them. I have noticed that when it comes to certain games, I am pretty much a isolated player and any sort of game that has artificial friends, like some FPS, make it more enjoyable...which is why I have a tough time trying to accept the FPS curve of gaming - it's mostly for people who are socially adept. Some games that feature bots make me feel like I am more at peace than knowing some stranger I don't know and what he's capable of, or what he's really like; my friends like Chinese Chef, Leo Krupps, or whoever else, from Timesplitters 2, never sick and always on time. After a few days of playing Modern Warfare 2, I must say that the Special Ops is awesome and even though I don't have any friends (sort of) that I can play with, I sure know a lot of enemies...and that's brings us to the theme of our 12th song. A certain individual.

You can be cool with the people you know or you can be a real jerk, this fellow wasn't one of those things - he was a REAL A-hole. Even though he liked to kill people, he gave the game a real comical side, and even though he might not be one of the biggest BADDIES, he gets my vote for not being a reclusive person...stuck in some lab...reading books, BORING! Number 12 is Kefka's Theme, from Final Fantasy 6 for the SNES. Even though Kefka is obviously no Sephiroth, Sephiroth was a lame character of Final Fantasy bosses while Kefka made things interesting, sort of like being ridiculous and somewhat like the Joker at times. Kefka has a bad tempter too, a whole lot of it when he basically HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATES...someone, for touching his statues (trying to avoid spoilage). So even though I feel this song is very nuts and strange, I must say I like it and it just brings something that I sort of can understand. After all, the worst thing about trying to make friends, is appear desperate to try and make friends; that's where everyone looks at you like you're a freak!!

After working on these blogs for quite some time and having problems I'm not sure where the cause is coming from, it can be a little exhausting, though I feel that these are easier to do than DEEP blogs. Trouble, always some form of trouble, and it just sucks when it affects your computer / tv. In either case, expect the continuation to go on as planned, though rather today than Sunday trying buy some time on a thought of mine (thanks for the comments too), Monday will be the 11th, and using a different computer than my own, I can't say what that one is...so no fancy little clues. Also if you feel like checking out my past VGS, they are listed below.
