while the rains a turnin the ditches to mirroros


there's been a series of real great soundtracked commercials in the past couplea days that i've seen and
i really like these thermal long underwears i just picked up agin recently on account of they are very comfortable and form-fitting but unlike most other tight pants or form fitting clothes they do not bother my leg hairs and
i'm not going to school as much anymore, on account of i dont really feel comfortable there and
there's a whole lot of electronic music out there, some bands to not listen to are: Starfucker, the woods, and mickey avalon while he may not exactly be electronic music he -is- exactly what not to listen to and
i wish postmodernism seemed less relevant especially everything jean baudrillard wrote and zizek'z whole life and roger rothenberg and
today i was asked if i knew who robert pattinson was again while getting miniwheats and reading Star magazine in-line and it made me wish my mustache were back on account of no one wanted to speak to me when i had it especially not to tell me i look vaguely like robert pattinson that vampire from that movie from that book and
roller blading seems like a very apt use-of-time and i hope i can convince money to be frittered towards its expenses and
it's good to be back

And Im smart

I was thinking about competition today. Friendly competition between two people like in a game of Chess or Martial Arts or something. Like why people choose to be competitive over certain things more than others and why we're still competitive at all. I don't mean competitive over obvious things like money, food, control, etc. I mean like competitiveness where it doesn't really matter.

I could probably look this all up in wikipedia and find numerous studies to inform me on the roots of competitiveness and why we're like this, but I'm too lazy. So instead I'm gonna type my thoughts really fast.

I think as humans, part of our enjoyment comes from knowing and seeing that we grow. Knowing that we progress inch by inch, day by day, in whatever aspect we choose or unconsciously choose. We like to feel the sense of building ourselves from bottom to top and knowing we have control over what parts we want to build.

That's part of friendly competition I think, in sports and games. It's why people go into competitions knowing full well that one of you will lose and the other will win; where the only outcome is not material posession or fame, but knowing which one of you is the better man. One of you will be inferior to the other. But, acknowledging your mistakes when you lose, or acknowledging what you could've done better when you win, that's the enjoyment of friendly competition. Figuring out how you will improve or how you can improve.

Well the fun comes from that and playing the game itself...

Here's the funny thing though: The person who doesn't want to grow or improve, will ultimately feel angry or sad or frustrated when he/she loses. They want the winner to stoop down to their level in order for a "fair" fight. Those people only get their enjoyment from winning, which means that they don't do the competition to grow. They do it for fame, which I think is missing the entire point of a competition and life itself.

However, I think it takes a bit of extrovertedness to enjoy competition. There are those that just find it stupid to compete for whatever reason. They prefer growing through their own trials and tribulations competing only against themselves. Which is absolutely fine.


tl;dr
I like to think that I think about deep things every once in awhile. I'm insecure about my intelligence and I can't organize my thoughts very well.

I got thinking today

Watchmen

Good movie overall. I went in with low expectations and came out with a smile on my face. The only problem is, Watchmen should not have been a movie at all. Alan Moore didn't create a narrative story, but instead created this alternate universe where comic book nerds decided to take initiative and God is born out of some lightning breaking machine.

Sort of like Star Wars and Star Trek. That's what Watchmen is. They both have their own fantastic story arcs and all, but what makes them such good shows is that they basically have so much lore and fiction inside the show, it makes them a potentially immersible universe.

While the movie emulated scenes from the comic word for word, action for action with an added 2 min slow-mo fight, that's all it was. Just scenes from the comic onto the big screen. Like many have said, I would've preferred if they'd done an HBO mini series or something.


There's a half a ton man living in Texas.

Goodness.



Where am I going?

So I guess I'm gonna take the SAT next year. I'm getting really poor grades. I thought I was more responsible than that but whatever. Too poor to afford college and too irresponsible to get into one. I could always make those neat toys for Happy Meals.


Drawing

I'm painting and drawing more. Trying to find new ways to go about old concepts. I think I'm improving step by step. I'm taking painting class at CCA but I don't think that's helping at all. I've been trying to decide if learning to paint for reals will help me paint digitally or if they're two totally different things. See I can't paint with real paints because I fucking suck at mixing colors. I try and make violet and end up with a magnesium fire or something. I also cant get brush strokes down. I'll try and paint a tiny white glint on the tip of a child's nose and in half a second it turns into a deleted scene from a child porn.


Otherwise

I have no complaints. Life's good.

Things I need to pick up (recommended by friends):
  • Shantaram
  • Infinite Jest
  • Snow Crash
  • Ergo Proxy
  • Rosetta Stone Jap 3
  • Snacks.

Why does Valve always make good games

No opinions, no arguments, no DISAGREEMENTS, because it's been proven with irrefutable fact.

I did a study on how Valve makes the best games and my results were that Valve has the best video game makers who know how to make the best video games.

So I dunno, maybe if you can get REALLY good video game makers, you can make good games. I'm sure there's some other dynamic variables, statistics, and number crunching algorithms as to how to make a good video game. But I think it all goes back to being good at making video games, which is what Valve does.

So for you nerds out there, I did this math problem for you

(v)*(vg^m+g)/(vg)=


Thanks friends!

left 4 dead

before it dies tomorrow by whoring itself to the public id like to spend my two cents on this blog.
i like a lot of things about it, i love the sniper, the lvl 2 shotty, the boomer, the witch, the tank, gas tanks, subway cars, dismemberment, pipe bombs, saying i found a pipe bomb that looks like a bike, bill, louis, shoving and shooting, headshots, healing, and duel wielding.
but what i love most of all is the community. sure pushing a hunter off a buddy of mine is pretty cool cause its like "HAI AMIGO THIS HELPING 'CHTHER THING IS MEGA SUGOI AMIRITE?! ^U%"

but when you start a game making fun of a guys screen name and end it feeling like youve really survived a apocalypse while still being a jerk the whole time talking about halo and smash bros is really cool. for me, BITCH!

and i think what does it is the frequency of boss zombies who keep reminding you, hey broo i jut got smoked help me the fuck out! not many games make you feel so important, something valve seems to make a practice of hl2 and tf2 being other examples.

basically if you want me to feel like im playing a bad ass game make me feel as though if i wasnt in your make believe world all hell would break loose. other games like halo or mario make me feel like, if i die they can just send in a squad of soldiers or luigi.
i need to feel as though im their only hope, i want to be obi wan. to make tyler happy just make the premise on the back of the box sound cool

When FPS' are "bad ass".

So, what constitutes as "bad ass"?

Killing every single demon that walked out of Hell and destroyed your space station on Mars? No, that's not nearly good enough. Afterwards, you walk straight into Lucifer's doorway and blow every god damn demon, succubus, and Cyberdemon back to fucking Jesus Christ himself. All for the sake of saying you wrecked Hell with just a double-barreled shotgun.

Or maybe planet earth did get invaded by aliens. Maybe they were more powerful in numbers, intelligence, willpower, and strength than every single human ever. All except Serious Sam, whom steamrolls the entire fucking race carrying a monolith that shoots cannon balls at 88 m/ph, all while wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. Look at that SERIOUS face.


What about a bad ass who already died? That's not gonna stop Daniel Garner, who sets up a deal with Mysterious Faggot from Faggotville to kill all of Hell's strongest generals with a laserropesawblade, a freezerayautoshotgun, a shurikenthrowinglightninggenerator, or a jesuschristfuckingminigunturretrocketlauncherareyoufuckingkidd
ingme. God wins, again.

Or maybe, just MAYBE, it's a summer afternoon, doing your daily jazzercises, baking some bagels, and having a generally super day. Until you get teleported to an arena designed by Satan's personal cabinet, and get blown up within half a second before you realize you're somehow ressurected, and then get blown up again. You try and figure out what the fuck is happening before some guy, who you're pretty sure is smoking a cigar, jumps - yes jumps - faster than freeway traffic and blows your head off with a shotgun. Then you're ressurected and this repeats itself around 30 times until you realize you have no more aspirations, goals, desires, or purpose to live anymore. Your only choice, is to kill. Your only goal, is to kill. Your only desire, is to kill. Your aspiration, is to kill the best. Kill them good.



Oh, but those are old games. Damn those are old. They're not good anymore. If you like them, you suck. Because they're old. The definition of old is: not quality; the opposite of quality; shit. So what's a NEW bad ass game? Something that breaks the boundaries of awesome, you ask?











This game. THIS game. Are you serious? Seriously? Yeah I am. What's more badass than my step-father, that guy who belongs in Office Space, a bi-curious tattoo salesman, and some sandwich making bitch putting away those retarded stereotypes I just made up, because the entire country's been infected with a virus that makes them want to kill everything that's not them. Not eat, not rape, not infect, kill. By the by, only you guys and probably 0.5% of the population are naturally immune. So what you gonna do?

I tell you what you gonna do. You gonna take a pistol, a med pack, some pills, and a gun of your choice to blow away every fucking zombie that comes within 5 miles of you. You will be strangled, vomited on, and fucked in every orifice, but most of all, you will survive. You'll survive when sixty zombies break through a wall you thought was safe from breaking. You'll survive when that retard sets off the car alarm and you have no med packs, no pills, and are hopelessly limping on one leg. You'll survive when you hear the deafening scream of the horde come at you, and ONLY you, because everyone else is dead. You'll survive when the director decides to be a dick and have a smoker strangle you away from the group, with boomer vomit following suit.

You'll also survive when this will happen differently every single time the game is played, but is no less challenging. It's four people against the world, and it is bad ass.

So lately!

I've been playing games and doing other things. Here's my 2c.

  • Final Fantasy IX is so good. Zidane/Kuja would be one of the best main characters/villains in the Final Fantasy saga if they didn't have the most retarded/homoerotic designs ever. It's neat though. Not too many random encounters, not too much grindan, old school setting, cool characters, cool music, cool story, bro.

  • Prop 8: Hodie - I HATE ALL MARRIAGE

  • I really need to work on school stuff.

  • Mother 3 translation is out holy shit. This game has like awesome music and I like to listen to it. Good writing too. The Staff did an incredible job. Let's just hope now that Nintendo doesn't re-release Mother 3 and instead make a Mother 4. I honestly think Mother 3 does a lot more things right than Earthbound; so it does exactly what I'd expect from a sequel. Earthbound is still awesome though in it's own respects.

  • I've been playing more StarCraft lately. I might wanna get good this time.

  • I've been saying this to everyone for awhile now, but I really want just one MMO that dominates the market that's NOT World of Warcraft. MMORPG's are a fantastic genre that've brought some of the most memorable video game moments in my time. However, with video games being a business business, MMOs bring in the most revenue due to its subscription based play. There's like 50 thousand Mumorpaguhs out there(free and not free), and when you spread the player-base around like that it kind of takes away the 'massive' feel. Plus MMOs have been using the same god damn formula since Everquest, Asheron's Call, Anarchy Online, and Ultima Online which I consider to still be the best of the genre. And those were in their prime like 10 years ago.

  • My life's that of a teenager. Ergo it's not very difficult or interesting, like at all. So I don't have much to say about me. In 20 years or so I see myself dead, because I killed myself. Before that I think I was homeless or not going to college and having a minimum wage job. Or maybe I moved to Florida and continued to be unlikeable and have no friends. When in Rome!
