I know there's not many people who actually read the crap that I write on here, but recently I was hacked and some spam was set onto the account. It was a simple post with a simple name, "Hey." that 'recommended' everyone go to some site that I've never heard of.

This is becomming a problem. A couple of weeks ago, my World of Warcraft account was hacked, all my characters deleted and a bunch of new ones (All with names like, 'kasndkdn')  were created. After opening a ticket and waiting about 9 days, I got everything fully restored, though.

Sometime in this past week, my Facebook was also hacked. I couldn't log on, and it was telling me that I was using an old password. I had to go through a long list of questions, and all-in-all it eventually came down to one thing. "Do you recognize this log-in? Location: KOREA Time: 1:51AM." Who in the hell was logging onto my Facebook, of all things, in Korea??

I finally saw JC's Avatar yesterday, and while the movie was alright, it didn't really do it for me. I mean, some people have said that they want to die because their life isn't as interesting as Space Pocahontas. Or they end up like these people:

Someone asked me this morning "What if your favorite retro game was ported to the 360. What would the achievements be?" So instead of paying attention in Algebra, I devised a short list for Majora's Mask.

Obviously the list isn't complete, and I haven't assigned scores to each one. Feel free to come up with your own, and post them in a comment.

Let's face it. With the Twilight plague going around almost everything recently is about vampires is instantly interesting. You take any boring, old story and make it interesting and entertaining with the addition of vampires. Let's try this on a popular story, Humpty Dumpty.

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the Kings horses,
and all the kings vampires,
couldn't put Humpty together again."

See? Much more interesting now that the king apparently has a group of vampires under his command. Even the vampires couldn't reconstruct Humpty again, and need I remind you that vampires are naturally obsessive compulsive? Do you understand how many layers of possible discussion that I've opened up here, simply by adding vampires into the mix of a story that was once perfectly normal and mundane.

Go to the "Teen" section in a book store, because it appears that I'm not the first to notice this. Almost every book targeted towards a younger audience is about vampires. Why, you might ask? Because vampires are romanticized as being the dark and mysterious ones. Well, now we're stuck with a generation that will be remembered as the ones who loved those vampires inappropriately. Thanks guys!

I'm back from my semi-emo post, and I'm here to talk about something I never understood. On New Years, why do we drop a ball? I've always been curious, because it doesn't appear to have any symbolism. We're celebrating the meteorological phenomenon of traveling around the sun in a full orbit once again. So, we drop a big bright sphere and all shout Happy New Year? Doesn't really seem right, does it?
I attempted looking for the answer, but all I found was that it starts dropping at 23:59:00 on New Years Eve, ending on the first second (or 00:00:00) of New Years Day. (Morning?) So we didn't really find something from the internet.
So, just food for thought.

When Nintendo announced the latest Zelda title, I thought that they were probably just taking the piss. I thought they were going to announce in a hilarious way that it was just a joke, and make us all look like idiots. So, when I realized that they were completely serious, that I nearly started laughing about how bad the idea was.
If you don't quite know what I'm talking about, in Links latest adventure he is a train engineer. Not only is he a train engineer, but the train is a major part of gameplay. You can see where this would seem like a bad idea, right? Nintendo would, quite frankly, have to be out of their freaking minds to produce an entire game like this. Link on a train? Absolutely bloody madness. And this is coming from one of the Zelda series' biggest fans. When one of us is able to admit that it's stupid, you know it's bad.
But, I do have to hand it to Nintendo, they took the idea and produced a damned good game out of it. The game seems to be about Characterizing Zelda herself, into more than just a princess who's captured so Link has to save her. I quite enjoyed learning more about her. Maybe I thought the game would be bad because of how bad The Phantom Hourglass was. (Which I hold to be the ONLY bad game in the Zelda series, not produced on the CD-i.) So, it may have just been a grudge against the last Zelda DS title.
Despite my enjoyment of this game, my complaint remains. A TRAIN? Thematically, that's not good for a Zelda game! What's next, Link's learns to pilot a military aircraft? Link gains superpowers close to 'Splosionman's? He becomes a warewolf-- oh, wait.

HD, or High Definition, is completely useless, and is a gimmick used by those who can't just create generally good content on their own.
Let's look at James Cameron's Avatar. But keep in mind, I have NOT seen this movie. I've heard countless times that Avatar is a good *looking* movie. But that it kinda' fails with it's lack-luster plot. And while I still want to see it, I feel like being drawn to see something that's nothing but visuals is like I'm a magpie being tricked into giving James Cameron my money, just because he's waving something shiny in my face...
This can also be said in gaming, and if you don't believe me: Uncharted. That is all. I caught a chance to play a bit of that game (I don't have a PS3), and I do agree that the game is quite pretty, but the gameplay isn't very fun, like everyone said it was. I didn't get the same "Assassin's Creed" feeling I got when I tried to scale a wall, and I didn't get the awesome "Gears of War" epicness I got when I shot someone in the face. It was a generic game, spliced together out of quite a few different games. Definitely not worth $60, and DEFINITELY not worth game of the year. Perhaps it was a game that you need to play through to really like, but that's not what I got. First impressions are everything, and it didn't give me a first impression to be proud of.
So, let's get this back on topic, eh? While HD is pretty to look at, it doesn't quite give anything to engage. It's might be enough to make me go see a movie, but it's definitely not enough to make me waste about $60 in THIS economy. I'll save my money for quality titles.

(PART TWO! If you haven't seen part one, it can be found here: )
ROFLcopter: This was created by a Blizzard employee apparently. No one really knows what it means though, but many assume that it's the Gnomes' Helicopters from WC3.

Manbearpig: I'm thuper, duper, therial everyone! Manbearpig ith in thith game!! Nice reference to South Park!!

Epic Win: Summons a Starite. You don't win instantly, but you can carry around a Starite for a while...

Leeroy Jenkins: Now, this one I saw a lot of potential in!! Leeroy should run around, and cause you to instantly fail. But alas, he just sits there. (Sorry for not getting a picture of this one.)

No Pictures available of: Monorail Cat, Ceiling Cat, Cthulu, and maybe a few that I haven't discovered.

(Could not fit all the pictures on here, so  I'll upload this in TWO parts!!.)
The wait is finally up, and Scribblenauts, which is destined to be the BEST DS game of all time, is here and in the pixels!

Scribblenauts is a puzzle based game, where you can use ANYTHING in the list of over 22,800 items to solve any of the 200-odd puzzles. And while the puzzles are quite hilarious and fun, the included internet Memes, are also very interesting. (I apologize for picture quality.)

Longcat: Longcat is loooooooooooooooooooooong.

Tacgnol: Tacgnol is gnooooooooooooooooooooool.

Virgin: Ha! He's a gamer.

Keyboard Cat: This is my least favorite of the list, but it's cool of Fifth-Cell to include the weakest meme link.

LHC: The Large Hadron Collider... epic. I'm glad to see that other people know what this is.
