So gamespot? Anyone from my school? Good. I'm an overly nice guy. Basically, I'll talk with anyone without being a jerk to their face. The problem in that? I get a load of annoying people relying on me for conversation, and it just so happens in my school, I must have the most annoying stupid people in the world following me.

First one I'll just call Jimmy. Jimmyis a kid who is probably the biggest lier I've ever met. He is full of stories to tell you, but problem is that none of them are even remotely true. He's even aware that everyone knows his stories are bull having to confirm us as to what's reality and not (though now what he confirms as reality is starting to head into the bull section). He tells me all about how much of a badass he is, beating people up, breakin the law, shovin it to the man, but you take one look at this kid and it's just obvious, he's nothing like what he pictures himself as. Why does he do this? Attention. As long as he remains the center of attention, he'll keep telling stories, even if it's the bad center of attention. How does he get these stories out? He inturupts everyone just to tell us of a story he knows.

If you couldn't guess, these people will grow gradually worse. Second one is the second most annoying kid I know. I'll just call her Tori.Tori you see is actually a random friends request I got on facebook one day who happens to go to my school. Why does she annoy me? She is the embodiment of everything I hate about girly girls, and she is attracted to me (good to note she's 2 grades lower than me). I think her last boyfriend of the 6 she had since I met her 5 months ago said it best. She's clingy. However, not only is she clingy but parasitic as well. My general talks with her goes as follows. She says what's up, I say I'm playing some game, and she proceeds to complain to me about her problems, and as soon as I stop talking politly about thus said problems, keeps prodding at me to say more, despite that there is nothing to say. Why is there nothing to say? Because that "what's up" was only a formality, she doesn't care about anything in my world, she just wants to complain about her boyfriend troubles to me as if that's all she does. Hell, from what I know of her, that IS all she does. Putridly enough, she asked me to a dance once, and it was the first time I've ever been asked out, and the first time I've rejected an asking out. The funny part comes up when a day later she tries to make me jelous with this boyfriend she's bragging to me about online in the silliest attempt to attract me I've seen of her yet. How do I know she was trying to attract me? Because this guy didn't evist and she's not very subtle about anything she does.

Wew, that turned into quite a large paragraph. Luckly the last one doesn't need much explanation at all, but being aorund makes me wish I was trapped on a desserted island with the above 2. This guy I'll just call Alec. How does Alec annoy me? He talks to me. Talking with him though, is like grinding your head on a chalkboard. You see, when Alec talks to you, he gets right up close to you, way too close for comfort. You take a step back, he takes 2 steps closer, with everyone he talks to. Oblivious to all my shimmying, back stepping, and person dodging I do, he's always in my face. Further more, he's always doing this. Like the above 2, a moment of silence is a terrible thing and he must talk. What's different from the above 2 is that he has nothing to talk about. Constantly brining up stuff he already brought up, or just talking non-sense in general, he will never let it be quiet. Further more, I didn't want to bring it up because I don't hate people for how they were born, but he has an annoying voice. A speech impediment with braces and a naturally loud voice, he has the voice of an airhorn. I wouldn't mind this on a normal person, but that airhorn is in your face sprewing nothing of any importance at all at any given time.

So there, these are what I'll hate about school the rest of the year. You know more annoying people? Would like to hear em. I just had to get that off my chest. Until next time, this is 3 dawg! Umm, I mean kittykatz5k. Also need to stop being addicted to fallout 3.

Over the pastone year, I have watched a lot of animes. Seeing as I was visiting and having an amazing time at anime conventions, might as well, right? So five animes I'm just gonna write about. Agree, disagree, whatever. I just need somewhere to write stuff. And no, I do not read mangas.

Death Note: 4/5
The general idea: Death gods overwatch the world, able to write down who they want dead and how. Being bored one day, one deathgod drops his book down into the human world. From there, a guynamed Lightpicks it up and reads the rules of the book called the Death Note. All he needs to do is to write the name and see the face of who he wants dead, and they're dead how he wants. Trying it out a bit, he decides to embrace the power of it, and to use it to kill those who deserve it. The spike in death of criminals around the world however gets police involved, and a detective only known as "L" with no name or face to the public begins his attempts to catch the killer.

This has been an anime that has gotten a lot of discussion, mostly due to the shock it has on the common public. When people think of animes, they think of Pokemon or Dragonball Z. What they don't expect is an inteligent well though out story. Going from beam throwing and friendship speeches to a tale about murder, justice, and corruption is a bit of a jump. Being one of the deeper animes out there, it held a lot of responsibuility. It had to be darker, it had to be well thought out, and it had to be every bit as intense as it's more action packed retarded cousins. I would say it succeded. The entire idea is amazingly thought out and many parts will keep you on the edge of your seat, problem is, like many animes, it drags on and on. If I was reviewing the first season alone, I would give this an easy 5/5, but when you get to Light not even being involved in the story anymore, you start to get confused what anime it was you were watching. The last season changed pretty much all the characters but Light, drastically increasing the scale of all the things Light does til you can't even follow a single "master plan" he came up with because they're so absurd. Overall a great anime I will recommend, but the other seasons don't keep their quality and given it's amazing first season, you'll be forced into watching the other seasons, no doubt about it. It's just too good for it's own good at cliffhangers.

Yu Yu Hakusho: 3/5
The general idea: A smart mouth'd punk known as one of the toughest guys around school is killed oddly while saving a little kid from a reckless driver. Introduced to a weird version of the afterlife, he find out he wasn't supposed to die, and gets the chance to come back to life. After finally getting back to life, he's hired as a spirit detective to basically act as a police for the heads of spirit world. This includes learning how to control spirit power, beating up demons running loose around town, and... well that's about it.

Yu Yu Hakusho is deceivingly well written in the first few parts of the story. Enough so to make you think it might have a lot to it. His solutions to problems can often be clever and work arounds for just brute forcing a situation, there are many episodes without so much as a single real fight scene, and Yusuke, our main character, is set up as a pretty likable guy, neither being too heroic or overly anti hero but rather set up as just a punk in school. The problem comes in that this stuff doesn't hold it's own beyond the first set of episodes. Yusuke quickly becomes more of a hero than anything when there's a danzel in distress, he quickly learns how to be the most powerful in the world, and the only thing that stays the same about him is his smart mouth. All of the plot pretty much boils down to who Yusuke needs to beat up next. As an action anime though, it's pretty good. I don't hold a grudge against animes for not being deep enough, I just didn't like it pretending to be something completely different at first. Fight scenes are well animated for a while, they exploit each character's powers well, and it's not so clear at times who the winner of the fight will be. Just don't expect too much from this anime after they enter demon world, and don't expect anything but what you can find in DBZ durring way later episodes.

Naruto: 4/5
The general idea: A loud mouthed kid named Naruto was fused as a baby with the soul of a demonish 9 tailed foxin order to get rid of it. As such, people hate him in general and blame him for a lot of what happened. The anime generally follows him and his attempt to rise through the ranks and become a respected ninja in a town of ninjas. Eventually though, his powers get him dragged into far bigger things.

I really am shocked I'm calling this a good anime, but it is. It's not the deepest of animes, and it has it's problems, but it really does a lot well for being more focused on the action. The fights actually take place for the most part, having only a couple character able to do that "too fast for the eye" thing that has made DBZ so lazly drawn. The characters all are very well developed and are unique, main character or not, all having their own abuilities and stories. Naruto and the gang remains through the course of the anime unable to take on his masters in power, and most amazingly, characters actually age. Looking back on the first few episodes, it was just a subtle change from episode to episode how much the crew grew up in general. Having not many animes do that it took me by surprise. Generally, it's just a well written anime with good twist and turns. The point off however, is fortwo reasons. One being that the main characters are the least likable of the characters they made. Naruto being comic relief, Sasuke being an impossible to understand prick and Sakura having absolutely no moment that justifies her main character status. Two being that there really is basically 200 episodes of filler after the main story is done. It's like if pokemon cut out everything but the gym battles and elite four, but then went back to do all the episodes they missed inbetween.

Paranoia Agent: 5/5
The general idea: A city is full of many people all with their own story. Their stories however all get linked at the end as they all end with a kid on rollerblades bonking them in the head with a bat.

This is the best of the animes I've seen. Like deathnote, it's a deeper darker anime. For it's rediculous description, it's all really not out of this world. Each character introduces a completely different set of characters. This ranges from a kid who is being overshadowed as the big shot at school to a woman getting married but whose second personality is basically a hooker on the street. They're all thought provoking mini stories amusing in their own way, but as you get later into the anime, themain story gradually becomes clear and the overall idea presents itself. The series however might be more along the lines of a mini series though, being only 13 episodes long. It's refreshing to find an anime that knows when to stop, and I don't feel left wanting more out of it, but it's hard to define this with the others for that reason. Overall, I cannot find a flaw in this though, and there's no tale told throught the series that I did not like. This is an anime to reccomend to anyone.

Bleach: 1/5
The general idea: A guy named Ichigo was born with the odd abuility to see ghost. However, he never understood the inner workings of the afterlife. One day however, a deathgod fighting a demon outside his house causes him to rush out to try and protect his family. One thing leads to another and he ends up taking the deathgod's power, becoming one himself and ends up with a duty to protect the people around him from demons and to save the deathgod he ended up stealing the powers from.

Unlike Naruto, I really wanted to like this anime. I just wanted something simple to watch at the time, and did like it for a bit, but Bleach becomes nothing more than Dragonball Z with swords VERY fast.Who are the characters? Well, there's ichigo whostands as the most generic main character ever, and that's about it. Why do I stop there, you watched the intro, you saw all those characters? Well I stopped there because outside of maybe 2 episdoes of the hundereds, they are ALL unimportant. Like Krillin inDBZ, they're too weak to contribute anything to combat, and they're given worthless backstories that are deserving of no more than 1 episode of screen time. This is all about Ichigo really. So there's no real depth I guess, but this is an action anime, right? So then where's the action? I don't know. Most of the fights are rediculous to say the least. Let me sum up one for you guys, man with chain sword turns chainsword into giant dragon capapable of leveling entire buildings. Other man however in the blink of an eye nearly kills man with now giant dragon sword with nothing more than pedels around the screen for animations and art. That's the main problem with this anime really. Following Ichigo and his fights against all the other people in this deathgod world for hundreds of episodes, it really boils down to everyone using the "too fast to see" trick in what I can only assume is the drawers of this anime being too lazy to show even a simple colision of swords. All the hype I've heard about this anime, worthless. What's sad too is it looked like it had some slight potential when you see how they set everything up before they knock it all down.

Sorry for the bad spelling, late at night and gamespot apparently doesn't use the real spellcheck function for their blog. I'll fix it soon, and my game review I do next is going to be Henry Hatsworth, can't wait for it to come out tomarrow.

Well that was quite a long nap, guess I'm back though. Gatta remember to check up on the NDU and how all things have been in my absense. Maybe review some of those games I've played and rant more on the forums about topics no one cares about. Lots going on, and I'll sum everything up in 1 giant run on sentence. If you don't care about my life, which I assume is not why you read this, skip the next paragraph.

-----------------------------------

I am doing well in school, I finally decided to go to college for game design, I found some amazing games to play including little big planet and world of goo, my costume for Julius Belmont at Anime Detour is almost done, I still suck at rock band... badly, my compy got a new graphy, I am still 360 and ps3-less but play them at friends houses a lot as they play wii at my place a lot, I made a Videlectrix shirt in my printing class just to have the biggest inside joke ever, I saw Coraline which is an awesome movie, and finally, I rejected a girl to the dance! Take that annoying prep who hated nerds but for some reason liked me.

-----------------------------------

I started working on a game finally so feel free to skip the next 3 bunches of text if you don't want to hear about it. I will release it for free eventually just to prove to some friends something. The project was started 3 months ago when I started critiquing mirror's edge and someone told me to make something better. I figure a side scroller is a very easy place to start, so basically I'm making a really weird mix between Mirror's Edge, Jet Set Radio, and Sonic. Mirror's Edge in the amazing capabilities of the character, to leap over and through obstacles in a realistic parkour like manner. Jet Set Radio in the enemies. Guns are an annoying addition to the kind of game mirror's edge was and so I've taken a sillier approach to it, making the enemies simply try to tackle and slam your character to the ground, not to say simple cops are your only enemy. Lastly, Sonic in the side scrolling sense of speed and momentum you have to keep up. A mission should rarely have to bring you to a halt if you know what you're doing.

My 3 main goals are:
1. Never to be called repetitive as each of the many levels will change gameplay drastically one way or another, or simply do things right.
2. To lack control issues. The character should control how you think it should and not be a chore so much as a joy to fly around the city with.
3. To be simply more fun than mirror's edge. It was an ok game, but seriously screwed up in too many places, as will be addressed in the next batch of text.

Ambitious, very much so yes, however, it's going smoothly so far. Not having a terribly high amount of experience in coding, I'll just be using game maker. Many will be turned away by that alone, and I will probably port it to real code a year or so from now. However, I'm putting a lot of detail into getting game maker to work for me, and it hasn't been as disobedient as I expected. Not that it's professional or anything, but it's certainly functioning. As soon as I get media I can actually show off, I'll be sure to show you guys here at gamespot first.

-----------------------------------

I am amazingly let down by one of the silliest games this year. Many of you have probably seen the advertisments for "Eat Lead" and I'm sad to report it's not what I hoped for. I was expecting crappy gameplay and most people were. What I was looking forward to this game for was it's sense of humor. It was advertised to be catered towards hardcore gamers, but sadly has about all the hilarity of a brain dead halo fan making fun of things for not being halo. It's comedy mostly comes off as cheesy 1 liners that can't even raise a chuckle, and jokes that essentially are about as clever as airline food jokes. Honestly, who in this world, even in the furthest back regions of your minds, hated ellipisis as much as this Matt Hazard guy does? Even their knowledge of games is limited to nothing more than your average halo fan's knowledge. No offence to halo fans on gamespot, I just use it as an example when talking about the public who has played maybe a total of 3 games really.

-----------------------------------

So thats been all I've been meaning to blog in these past few days. What should I review: Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, No More Heroes, or World of Goo? Those have been games I've been dying to write stuff on.

Oh also, manditory new picture of myself, now featuring my stylish 3d goggles! The red and blue will never die:
