Paper Mario Sticker Star can sit on it

     I love the paper mario series. Thousand Year Door being my favorite. Hell even Super Paper Mario isn't that bad. I actually really enjoyed it. The story was quirky enough to keep me motivated and it still had slight rpg elements that made it still feel like it was part of the series. Sticker Star...is a disappointment.

     First off, it's not an rpg. There's no more level up, no special abilities granted by the 7 magic McGuffins. And NO! PARTNERS! The partners were sometimes the best part of the series. They added so much emotion and variety in the dialog. Okay so Super Paper kind skimped on partner...well let me explain. Super Paper had partners but they only server as solutions to puzzles. They never spoke other than "Hi my name is (pun based on what he/she is). I do this. Let's be friends." The one who did all the talking was this butterfly thing called Tippi. I excused this because Tippi was essential to the plot and had a beautifully tragic back story. Sticker Star does the same kind of thing except instead of a well written character you get a god damn bitchy shiny sentient sticker. She does nothing but complain and whine about how you should hurry and find the royal stickers and gives no useful info. You can press L and she'll pop up and give advice. At least that what she says she'll do. Example:

     Me: Huh. It looks like i have to go over there and get that thing. oops.accidentally pressed L

     Princess Shiny Whore: Hey looks like you need to go over there and get that thing.

     Me: yyyyea. got it. thanks.

     *later*
     
      Me: hmm. I seem to be legitimately stuck. maybe I'll ask this sticker bitch for help

     Princess Sticker Whore:  *actual line from the game* I fell like there is something terrifying nearby.

     Me: ...................*closes ds*

     And that's all I have to say on the subject right now as the game is currently grounded. I'm gonna go play more Gundam and maybe figure out how to do a live stream for later. Might be doing one this weekend sometime. I'll let you all know.

     

I am a god and thou shalt worship me!

     I just beat Dead Space on impossible difficulty. It wasn't as impossible as the name suggests but damn was it hard. I thought i was quite utterly fucked around chapter 7. I kept running out of ammo and health but somehow I pulled it together by chapter 10 or so. The parts that gave me the most trouble was the med ward and towards the end when you're taking the marker to that pedestal thing. So mainly the horde hold out sections. Those dudes with the explodey arm that sneak up behind you and blow you into a million bits are assholes. The final boss wasn't even a challenge. probably because i had like 8 medium med kits, 2 large med kits, ammo out the ass and all the health upgrades. i only got up the the level 3 suit though. Mainly because i never had the 35,000 credits to buy the level 4 suit or the oh god no 60,000 for the level 5. Didn't matter by the end though. Point is, I am awesome.

Look at it!! Look at the glory!!!

Let's get drunk off of Gundam!!!

     So i was just watching Gundam AGE and i thought of the best drinking game. It's based off of all of the classic Gundam cliches! Anyone familiar with the Gundam series will know exactly what I mean by that. Anyway, grab your favorite drink and let's play! The rules are as follows:

Take a drink when-
Someone tries to steal a Gundam

The rival in red appears (Rival in red is the character who is set to be the main character's equal in battle and pilots a red mobile suit)

The Masked character appears (drink twice if the masked character is the rival in red)

If the rival in red is a childhood friend of the main character

someone says that fighting is wrong

the person who just said that fighting is wrong is seen fighting 5 minutes later

The main character gains his super fighting super power ability (seed mode, x-rounder, etc.)

someone gets slapped

and if you really wanna have a good time, watch Gundam SEED and play with the rule of take a drink whenever stock footage is used. although you will probably die after 3 episodes so be warned. HAVE FUN!

This is my JAMZ!

     Wanna hear like the jam pumpinest song you ever did hear?

Right there. It's like a party every time i hear it. The End

Songs in mah head

     I have not stopped listening to Tubby Wubby Pony Waifu since i first saw Rainbow Dash Presents My Little Dashie. That song is actually really touching in a weird sort of way. It's so damn catchy. Here. Go listen to it. Do it you faggot. I love it so much. And go watch the actual Rainbow Dash Presents video. I know i said it before but friggin do it anyway. It's so good.

Errmehgerd Derd Sperce!

     Dead Space 3 is coming out in about 4 weeks and I don't know about you but i am super excited. I'm currently playing through Dead Space the first on Impossible difficulty because it's the last achievement I need in that game and then I shall have all the achievements in both 1 and 2. Impossible isn't even as impossible as one might think because you're allowed to save you're game as many times as you want. But in Dead Space 2's Hardcore difficulty you can only save your game 3 time. THAT. Was a test of endurance, let me tell you. Took me a whole weekend to power through that but man was it worth it. I got the best prize weapon I have ever seen in a game ever. It's a giant red foam finger that Isaac point and yells "bang" for the main fire and "pew pew" for the alt fire. and it does so much friggin damage it's hilarious.

     Also I got early access to the demo for DS3 so I've been playing that a bunch and man is it cool. The weapon crafting is so rad. I'm just so pumped for this game. I even spent the extra 100 dollars for the dev-team-sooper-dooper-gimmie-yo-munny edition of the game. It comes with so much cool stuff. Here's a link for all ye curious types: Click Dis Shit. I missed out on the special edition of Dead Space 2 because I was just getting into the series by the time that was coming out and I haven't beaten the first one yet but damn does this make up for it. I regret nothing!

Nostalgia rush

Anyone remember this? Man those were the good days. I almost cried a bit rewatching this from nostalgic overload. Toonami was the best damn thing to happen to cartoon network ever. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to relive my childhood and watch all the Toonami classics.

Nodda Lotta Gaming

      Yea I know. Haven't really been posting often. I've just really been playing Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 so nothing new to report on that.Just been working on getting the licences for all the mobile suits. kind of a pain in the ass process because some of the suits suck and i die a lot. Good thing is even if i die it counts as me using the suit in a mission so that's something. But it still takes a long time because I'm still trying my damnedest to beat the mission and it's taking a fucking century to kill 20 enemy mobile suits out of a zillion and I'm not just waiting to die, I'm actually trying my best which takes even longer. Ugh. whatever. It'll all be worth it once I have all the achievements in that game.

     So in other news, any bronies out there? Cool. Ever watch Rainbow Dash Presents? Radical. Ever read My Little Dashie? Groovy. I guess what I'm getting at is Rainbow Dash Presents did My Little Dashie and it's really damn funny and strange and I love it. The story My Little Dashie is the first story I have ever read that has made me actually sob. I was reading it in school one day in the library because I was bored and after I finished it i packed up my things, walked out to my truck, got in and broke down in tears. It was so sad and I love it to death. Shut up, don't judge me. Just read it. I defy you to read it and not cry. You just aren't human if you don't cry.

Thug Life

     Today I a mini van came through the car wash and as i was vacuuming it out i noticed the drivers seat was tilted really far back.......You. Cannot. Be gangsta. Driving. A minivan. This guy was thuggin it hard core and he didn't care what people had to say. Just blew my mind and felt I had to share it

Gundams r da kewlist

     So.....Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3. It's pretty damn amusing. There's really not a lot to the game. It's pretty much a game for the fans of Gundam. Very hack and slashy but fun nonetheless. There's characters from pretty much every Gundam series out there. From what i can tell there's one hero and one villain from each series. The plot is there's some interdenominational force that brought all these characters into this world and they're all trying to figure out who dun it and everyone's all like "I think Char did it. He's a douche."

      "No, Gato did it. He's a bigger douche."

     "Fellas. Fellas. I have good reason to believe that Ribbons is the one who actually did it. For he is a twat."

     So the game so far is revolving around deciding who is the bigger douche and who to get back to everyone's respective timelines. The cool thing about this game is after you use a mobile suit 5 times then the license for that suit becomes available for purchase. After you buy it then any character can use that suit. I think one of the scariest combinations is Ribbons Almark in the Unicorn Gundam. It's pretty freakin sweet. Also there's a shitton of missions to do. There's the story missions and then there's missions to build friendships with other characters, find more powerful mobile suits and even ones that reenact different parts of the series. It's a good time killer of a game and in my personal opinion a must have for fans of the series. Playing this game really makes me want to watch more Gundam. Luckily i just got the first season of Gundam 00 on DVD the other day. I love that series to death. Favorite Gundam series right there. The movie was stupid but the show was damn awesome. I'll talk about that in detail another time perhaps.

Secret Life of the American Car Wash Employee

     Man I have been on the biggest Dragon Ball Z kick lately. Happened pretty much when i made that post about Bardock. I've been playing so much Budokai and I've watched almost all of the movies again. I even went through the show and watched a few of my favorite episodes. That show is just so damn awesome. And don't try to tell me that i don't watch enough anime because you're dead wrong. I love my animes. I'm a bit of a fanatic you might say. But there's just something about DBZ that's just so great about it. probably nostalgia being one of the first animes I've ever watched. DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Outlaw Star and everything else they used to show on Toonami back in the day.

     So! Car washes! I work at the local car wash and man i see some things. And some stuff. wouldn't recommend it. I've see some of the filthiest cars, most of them minivans, you will ever see. Long story short: kids are the messiest creatures I have ever seen. I think my friend and co-worker Nick put it best: "COME ON KIDS! WE'RE GOING TO THE CAR WASH! THROW ALL YOUR FOOD ON THE FLOOR AND STOMP ON IT!!!" Like, seriously. I've seen an entire box of cheerios spilled on the floor. That's not an exaggeration either. The empty box was sitting on the back seat. Now the point of this story is not to tell you that everyone is a god damn slob and your kids should not be allowed to ride inside of your cars. It's to tell you about some of the things I've seen my fellow employees do or say.

     First off, hide your change. See a quarter on the floor? Want it later? Pick that shit up and put in in your pocket or glove compartment. People will either steal it for themselves or suck it up in the vacuum because then later at night when it gets to be closing time they get to go down and pick out all the change that got sucked up that day. Also stop leaving bills under your seats. I've found a 10, 20 and 31 dollars just under some seats. I didn't take it because apparently i'm a decent person but come on. That's just cruel. A lesser man would have taken it though. I'm not even lying. I got asked at least 4 times why didn't I take it. Because I'm a dumbass I guess now shut up and stop reminding me before I run you over.

     The things these people will say about customers is just....well to be expected.  A customer once asked me and my partner to throw out the trash for her. I smiled and said i'd be happy to. As soon as she was out of ear shot my partner calls her a stupid slut. Really? Asking to throw out the trash makes her a slut? Huh. Now if she asked us to take her into the utility closet and take turns pumping our special cleaning solvent into her hot quivering car wash tunnel of love then yea. I'd agree with him. But it's just trash dude. Oh. And if you do anything wrong. ANYTHING. They will talk shit behind your back. Some of the customers will drive up and stop just outside the entrance waiting for the greeter. The greeter is standing inside and refuses to go meet them so he/she will wave them in usually muttering something like "come on in you dumb cock" under their breath. It's just a bit unnecessary. I'm not being hypocritical either. I'll talk shit about people but only when i truly think they really are stupid sluts or dumb cocks or anything like that. So next time you go to a car wash, don't think it's all smiles and songs. Because it is very deceiving. And now i'm going to go watch more DBZ movies and play Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3. I'll have a review or something on that later maybe. Peace.

Zone of the Enders

     You ever play/hear of those games? They're pretty good. They made by Hideo Kojima so you know it must be good and long winded. Anyway i got the HD collection for the 360 and i just beat the second game. I have the first one on the PS2 and was originally going to get the second one on PS2 as well but every where i looked it was like $45+ and the HD collection was like 30. So why wouldn't i get it, right? anyway it's a mech combat game and the combat controls are really innovative for it's time. it's like a free roam battle system and you have an arsenal of different weapons to use and stuff.

     In the first game you play as Leo Stenbuck who is running from an attack from some bad dudes who want to piss in everyone's cheerios and stomp on your houses. He stumbles upon an a mech known as an Orbital Frame called Jehuty with a somewhat snarky AI named ADA. So pretty much the beginning to Gundam SEED.  He uses Jehuty to defend himself while trying to deliver it to some guy in the army who was supposed to get it and he finds his friend under attack and she gets on board with him and he's whining the entire time about how killing is bad and why do we have to kill and.....wow this really is like Gundam SEED. Anyway, in the second one you play as Dingo Egret who finds Jehuty in the ice on a mining mission and is immediately swarmed but half an army. He dies and is brought back to life Commander Shepard style but in like 2 weeks instead of 2 years or however long it was. Also the life support system is Jehuty and if he leaves it he will die for good. That's all i'm going to explain for now.You should still go play it even if i did a poor job describing it. The point of this post is to say "WOO i beat another game on my list" not give a review. I might do review posts later on but it's like 10.30 right now and i'm going to go to bed. Nighters all.

Find Dat Paw Print!!!

     So the other day i was browsing netflix because I was bored and i found the entire series of Blue's Clues. My inner child, who appears so often i might as well call him my outer child, was screaming in nostalgic delight. So of course I HAD to watch an episode. Man those were the days. Sitting in my little foam bear chair with my snack watching Steve act completely retarded. He was really bad at finding clues now that i think of it. I don't think he found a single one on his own. Well whatever. Point is Steve is the man and i never liked Joe. And that's my story.

A blog about my gaming accomplishments because i'm bored

     Greetings everyone! *looks around to see no one* Great. Everyone's here. Let's get started. I'm just making a blog because i can. You see, I have a lot of games and I've beaten maybe about 40% of them. I'm on a mission to beat them all. All 300+ of them. Yea. I know. I have quite a lot of work ahead of me. So I made this because I thought "You know who would really like to hear about my pointless quest? THE INTERNET!" and so here i sit. In the dark. Posting this on the internet for people to enjoy...or hate. I don't really care which. And to make this a bit more interesting I may or may not live stream some of these. I don't have any video capture equipment so there will be no streams of console games. Yet. That may change if i get hit by a magic space rock and it somehow gives me the powers of internet popularity but i'm really not hoping for that. no seriously. This is purely a blog born out of boredom. Also if my past experiences with blogs and such go i may just drop it all. I've had a tumblr i tried to keep regular, a blog before this one that went no where and a Let's Play youtube channel. All of which lasted no more than 3 weeks or so. Whatever. Let's get this started.

     So lately I've been playing the Dragonball Z Budokai HD collection for the 360. Specifically Budokai 3 because damn it's good. At time of writing i only have to get Omega Shenron to unlock all the characters. Then it's on to unlocking all the best capsules and such. Which for those of you that know is a long and painful process of fighting tournaments, gaining money, going to the skill shop, hearing the dreadful omen that is Launch's sneeze, pop a blood vessel because you remember why you hate Launch, buy all the capsules you can, back out, hear the obviously forced sneeze of Launch again, lather, rinse, shoot self in face, repeat. But it's all so worth it to get all the best skills for all the characters. I like using Bardock because he is a badass among badasses. The guy is one of the strongest saiyans of Frieza's army. So strong that Frieza is actually scared of him so he has his goons go out and kill him and his teammates. Survives the attack, wears the blood soaked bandana of his comrades, plows through a fucking army of Frieza's elite soldiers to get to him. All to be vaporized by him in the end. BUT WAIT HE DIDN'T! He actually gets thrown back in time for reasons i will probably never understand to before Frieza even existed and faced off against a dude that looks like Frieza named Chilled (i know right? The sheer amount of creativity in the name is absolutely astounding). Bardock defends the village against this guy but Chilled is a bit too powerful for him so the guy goes fuckin SUPER SAIYAN ON HIS ASS!! You read me! Bardock goes super saiyan!!!!! I was all like sploosh! Hot damn that was awesome on so many levels! He kicks the living shit out of the guy and becomes the Legend of the super saiyan that Frieza became so terrified of years later. I can't even describe to you how cool this is to me. I can gush on it all day but  will never get across how awesome this is to me. It's like you ever sit there and wonder just who that super saiyan was that the talked about in those legends before Goku became the first super saiyan in like a thousand years or so? BAM! Bardock. Ultimate badass of the millennium.

     Wow. I just went on a huge tangent there. I think I'm done fanboying for a little bit now to talk about something else. But I'll save that for another post tomorrow. I'm gonna go watch some Dragonball Z movies and play more budokai. Later.


                     p.s. Bardock! I love you!!
