Anyone ever thought for a moment.
Ok take individuals like, the Crpyt Keeper.

In so many of the episodes he begins with saying, 'Hello Kiddies'.
Most of the time it sounds as if hes going, 'Hello Kitties'

Hello Kittehs >:3
Tonight on tales from teh litter box, one particular kitty must overcome an evil kitteh only to find out his kittehs aren't actually that of his kitty litter.
Oh noes~!

So when the time is right, I will be kicking all kinds of butt with a professional wrestler against the enemeis!
With all that goodness right out of Final Fight, my endless need for street fighting carnage reigns supreme once again!!

Pretty fun stuffs I think.
Now I just need a good PC controller..

So while I raise my darling little melee fighter, Tiara, you can bet theres alot of ass kicking going around.
Using weapons in these fighting games is for the inexperienced.

For maximum effort, you gotta be beating the living shit outta stuff with your fists!

In lesser news, my voice acting audition was rejected because they needed a younger role.
It left me miffed so I came to mention it in my journal entry here.

Noooo~ I wanted to be part of something~!
boo-hoo.

Fortunately, I did get in my external hard drive!
So I can finally begin cleaning up my PC for new projects.
Also next week I will finally be able to play The Sims 3.

Yet, theres a definate line as well as too much of a good thing.
Or perhaps I am too hard on myself, or outright suffering from minimal levels of withdrawal / deprival.

So,as with the Sailor Moon collection, I have decided to watch it very sparingly.
Like one episode a month or something.
Sometimes i'll outright indulge myself and watch or perhaps play a single game by a rediculous quantity.

Naturally, with shows like Last Exile I had watched the entire thing in one sitting.
Then I also did that once with a FMV game set consisting of Dragons Lair 1 & 2 + Space Ace.
All 3 games, one night.

Damn, damn, and damn.

Yet playing things sparingly, it turns out very different.
With games like Aquaria, The Path.
Aquaria is something I am sure I could have beaten in a week if I wished, yet I have dragged it on for the past 9 months.

Yet sometimes I guess I really can't control myself.

Surely we all have simular issues.
Like as if reading a good book for example!

Though I have decided the first issue of business is to get an eternal hard drive.
Simply to shove select large files off so I can clean up my internal hard drives.
And were still in discussion of where to go for the day.

If anywhere at all.
Later today i'll come back & deal with any messages and maybe finalize my plans.

But thats it for now really.

This is normal for my sister, so I was reaching for the Master Volume in the accessories,
when immediately I hear some hysterical shouting of desperation.

Really the kind that makes you curious enough for examination.
Turn to find out its my brother whom from what he explained, was unable to move.
And to make it worse he was locked in the restroom, with no way of unlocking the door.

The only knowledge I had to go with, was that he broke his kneecap.
At least thats the emergency motivation I was filled with when I went for a wire coathanger.
After shredding the clothes off of three coat hangers, I finally got one capable of pickng the lock on the door.

With that nasty knowledge of what I was about to see wasn't going to be a pretty sight, on the other side of the door.

All though there was no broken knee caps or bones of any sort involved, it just turns out he became violently ill, with a cringeworthy case of the pukes.

So we had to get an ambulance to come take him away, and here I am home alone.
And well I don't know what the situation is , nor how I should resume my night.

Its probaly disrespectful to resume watching..
With all the lights in the house on and its only 3 am.

hmm indeed , 3 hours into today, and its already slated a bad day.
A record indeed.

Though really, lately it seems to be nothing but fetish oriented deviations being uploaded these days.
As well, as lack of actual originality.
This is Deviant-ART not Deviant-Fetish.
(Really that section is questionable)
When I first came to DA six years ago, the art was original arts & photographs.

While I understand to newcomers, finding something can be new & exciting.
But there are limits you know?
And there IS such thing as too much of a good thing.

I've lost my taste for the grand lot of you, and for that alot of you will be off my watch list in the near future.

Mixed flavors my ass, what was wrong with the single flavors?
We don't need to mix everything good with something else that everyone doesn't agree on.

ORIGINALITY.
Look it up.

Now that thats said, lately I have been looking into playing Ragnarok Online again.
And sadly, I simply can't seem to get up on my feet again.
Either the server has lack of people, too many people, or piss-poor regeneration rates.

Its rare and far between, though finding a happy medium is hard.

I suppose one could say I do like cats.

In gaming news:
Almost done leveling Kyle in Lunar, yet he hasn't gained any more attacks rather than his
initial 2.
Now eight years ago I am pretty sure he was attacking at least 3 times, if not 4 or 5.
IF That IS the case, then perhaps a certain event late in the game is responsible for increasing his stat growth rate.

Or if it was always like that , then my memory is failing me.
Leveling Nash, Mia and Alex will be far too easy so they are going to be my last concern.

Disgaea 2 comes out for PSP very soon, and I am going to get it~

I am reluctant to resume playing Ever 17 as bad shtuffs is going to happen ,and I love the gang too too much to watch them endure it.

And finally, still playing around in Odin Sphere before I embark on Velvet's quest, as I still have not touched it yet.

And once I get 100% in Odin Sphere i'll probaly go play FFX-2 assuming I can get a save with the Gambling outfit.

And after that i'll probaly import the spiritual successor to Odin Sphere.

The classic power suit is back!
And so is Samus and her dignity.

Surely this doesn't look to be the type of game to be beaten in 3 hours, but time will tell.
Metroid meets Ninja Gaiden..

Or something else entirely.
Either way I look forward to trying it.

]]> ~Vallie Quick Metroid Rant http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/26925110/ http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/26925110/ Sun, 30 Aug 2009 21:05:05 PDT One thing that really pisses me off..

Lets discuss the Metroid series.
Surely it was that infamous shocker that Samus was a lady in a suit.
Classic retro shocker..

We were staring at a mechanical warrior unless we took the challenge and
beat the game in a hurry.
Then we were blessed to see Samus out of suit, and baring out some skin!

This was exceptionally well done in Super Metroid.

And then everything went to hell.
Now days Samus bares it all in that skin tight little zero suit.
What the hell, Samus?

Or more like, what the hell game designers?
Something must have gotten lost in the translation here.
Yet after looking at the ending slots here for all the images you get to see for beating the game under select times. [link]

Ok samus isn't wearing her skin tight in some, but what?

Red summer shorts.
What the hell?
I don't wanna see Samus in god dman shorts!
I wanna see her in that flipping classic bikini!

Heres a comparison , for those of you that are too slow to catch on.

Heres what we get [link]

Heres what I want [link]
THERE IS NO CONTEST OR EXCUSE FOR KILLING THE TRADITION OF SAMUS IN THE BIKINI.

And sadly, I just found out they are remaking the game again for the PSP.
This is the third time the game has been remade.

But ewww its like all 3D and stuff. [link] [link]

Now this could go either good or bad.
And really its actually looking more like Breath of Fire 3.
(Which could be a very good thing actually!)

Yet I don't know..
Also I just learned Vay was apparently stuck onto the 2G I-phone store last year.
Talk about milking down the past for all its poor dignified self is worth.
Yet given the air about today's RPGs and other gaming, I am not surprised.

Lets look at the evolution over time shall we?

1992 - [link]
1996 - [link]
2001 - [link]
2009 - [link]

Alls good & well but really now, a third remake.
Someone somewhere in the world must really really be fond of the original story to that game.

Even though I have not played Lunar Legend, yet, I will invest some time to doing so next month.
I suppose I can't complain as this upcoming remake would give me some more rant material at least.

As recently in the Sega CD edition, I have gotten Jessica to level 99.
Just for the bloody hell of it.
I mean in every RPG, it was generally the healer whom was suffering the level lack problem.

So I figure, what if the rest of my team was in their 50-60s and my healer was 99?
That is officially the case.
Of course i'll go get the rest of the gang to 99, but I mean damn.
Seven years ago I got Kyle to 99, and this time Jessica.

I cannot say things look bright for Ghaleon and his forces.
Rock on Jessica! [link]

Ok! Now any of you perverts interested in in making a quick $5 drawing a picture of Jessica at level 99 looking intimidatingly sexy in a bikini or some type of amazonic leather garment?

Also minor pounting.
Capcom released Marvel vs. Capcom 2, again..

Surely its one of my favorite fighting games, probaly my favorite due to lack of a new chapter in Darkstalkers since 97.

But really, I unlocked everything in the Dreamcast edition which was like the first home console release, I mean whats the point?

Update:

Ok so they tear up good ol Azeroth with their old boy, Deathwing..
hmm... kinda heartbreaking to have the world I traversed since January 05 ravaged.
Nyuuu i'll miss the old world!

Though can't say I am a big fan of the worgen for alliance though.
I mean giving the horde the goblins was to be expected, or a neutral class as I had been hoping really.

Yet the worgen.
hmm.. I joined the alliance so I could play humanistic characters.
And then they blasphemize the alliance with shaman, and aliens, and now werewolves.

All though I am looking forward to the rebuild of the Eastern Kingdoms & Kalimdor, really to lose the old build and what I once knew them to be.

It really saddens me.
Though as I guess, with any other online game, the basis it started on must be upgraded at some point.

Oh, and the alliance finally loses Southshore.

Now Diablo 3~
Ah yes, another new class!
Finally something I can relate to, that wouldn't be hopelessly overplayed like the barbarian, as we know it.

Perhaps this is a reinvisionment of Sierra's Diablo Hellfire expansion.
As that one also featured the monk.

Only this new monk is far more badass.

The reporter lady shrugged off her friends that she was reporting to, simply because she wanted to play the demo they had set up.
Too funny~

And sadly it looks like tommorow will be the major discussion of the long awaited Starcraft 2's lore..
Which I won't be around to see as I have work tommorow night.
So really it saddens me that I am going to miss the real highlight I wanted to see.

But the hell with that, looks like i'll be able to play me some in about a year.

Update 2:
The cosplay contest seems to be the most entertaining part of the show!

Update 3:
Well I didn't think watching Blizzcon could make me want to play the games any more than I already did.

And however it did.
Which I still got at least a year at earliest to wait for SC2.

What kind of requests...?

We'll i'll tell you!
Since everythings gone pretty up the wall lately as far as entertainment medias go, I have decided to take it out on unsuspecting characters!

So for a limited time, Vallie is turning characters emo!

So for the next 20 hours I am going to force myself to do the most interesting of things
and force myself not to sleep.

Be it that , as it may I have work in 5 hours, and I need to stay awake until lunchtime which is 12.

Then I gotta stay up an additional eight hours or so to make sure I start waking up at the apporpiate times.

Joy to the world! The Vallie is awake!

Update:
Ok I somehow fell asleep and miraculously woke up in time with the alarm being off even more curiously.

And best of all , in time for the breakfast I was looking forward to!
Nummies, beef vegetable soup!
From the can!

Then I went to work, and here I am.

Now i'm going cook lunch.

Update 2:

Had lunch, went play games, had pizza for dinner, typed journal, going back to playing teh game Lunar : The Silver Star~

Update 3:
Decided to raise the stakes even higher this time.
Eight years ago, when I played through the game last time I got Kyle to level 99 with minimal effort.

This time I think I am going to go get the whole team level 99 just to see how hopeless the battles will be for the villians.

Even though I already saw the possibility of losing deminish to less than a %.1 with just Kyle, I'd like to see how a level 99 Nash, Mia, Alex, and Jessica will fare.
Especially all at once.

Flex them levels boi~

Update foar:
Got Alex to 25ish and Nash to 18ish.
Just completed the magic trials, and now I am debating whether or not to take Nash to the island to rid off the corrupt Dragonmaster.

I'll sleep on it.
Sleeping now.

Update 5:
Guys, I think I have insomnia or that gene mutation disorder.

Update 6:
Got some sleep, so I am happy.

Update 7:
Today went fine all though I am stuck here again in fear of not being able to sleep.
So i'm engaged in some lengthy conversation on msn.

Once a long time ago during a flash movie, they were playing that song Sandstorm [link] put to this paper stating that dolphins have evolved thumbs, 'Oh Shit! Says Humanity'

Then it switches to a city blowing up sporadically in areas.

After seeing so many flashes in my life, I think I can safely say I remember that one.
Though I wasn't very fond of it other than the music and with the strange message.

Exactly what does that mean.
When the dolphins evolve thumbs.

Wouldn't they need to evolve hands first, & arms?
Besides, if they evolved thumbs I think they would rather be playing PSPs.

Lately, i've been looking into some sandbox games.
(Yes I enjoy making virtual sandcastles j/k) [link]

And recently I got ahold of Crayon Physics Deluxe!
Very charming, and yet simple game really.

As it involves minimal artistic effort required to play it, as one has to draw simple or perhaps complex shapes depending on the situation in order to reach the destination.

Looky a video of it in action! [link]

Its quite atmospheric and soothing I find.

And who wouldn't love to scribble on the world map as they see fit?

With a large variety of crayons to choose from, I give this game a must play for the casual sandbox gaming lovers!

OC Facts Quiz creator:

1: What's the name of the OC you love?
~ Reika Kirishima

2: Who made the OC?
~ Probaly a secret table console conclave of elite perverts somewhere at Taito during the early 80s.

3: Why do you love the OC?
~ I was always a fan of the FMV games. Even though its not my favorite FMV game, she is definately my favorite character. Perhaps its her appearance, or the fact shes a long green haired babe.

4: How long you loved the OC?
~ Truly one of the first real gaming heroines that had an impact on me before I was even a decade old. Saw the advertisement for the game in a game magazine I did.. And one night, at a rental store I witnessed the game there on a shelf.. And the rest is history. Roughly i'd say 15-17 years.

5: If you could do anything with that OC, what would it be?
~ Anything & everything really.

6: Do you have a crush on the OC?
~ That an understatement. My exact feelings escape to a place where words cannot follow.

7: Is there something you DON'T like about the OC?
~ I suspect shes a slut, if not bears slut like traits. *Attempting to hit on a roman gladiator trying to kill her*

8: Whats one thing you think the OC would want from you?
~ Probaly for me to leave her the hell alone.

9: Is there another OC or real character based off a video game or television show you think is best paired with the one you love?
~ Kurara Hananokoji's alternate form, Super Kurara. I would love to see those two in a shoujo-ai/yuri situation. Two legendary gaming beauties.

10: Now tag 5 of your friends

Which ended in failure.
[link]

(I sure hope the Oasis of the Seas doesn't end up on that list one day!)
All though it was a last minute aspiration, kind of like when I bought Digaea before my trip to Disneyworld!

But.. The road was much nearer than the place i'll be going on Sunday.
So yeah I need to kill at least 20 hours of time in transit.
And I am sorry , but I don't think two DS, and a PSP are going to cut it.

I'll admit, I am quite nervous about traveling ever since Flight 447.
Nothing quite worse than crashing smack into the middle of the ocean.

For if the impact won't kill them , they were either left to drown or at the cruel hand of mother nature and invaders in her ocean.
All of which were during night I believe..

Pretty nightmarish way to die, I think.
No something like that doesn't flee my mind as quickly as say...
Well I don't know!

On a lighter note I am considering buying a pack of airbone...
Even though it can only supply me with 12 hours of immunity as I can only take it 3 times a day.
And well.. That only covers so much transit time.

But heres the game list of which I will bring.

Nintendo DS -
Contra 4, Castlevania : Dawn of Sorrow, and Chrono Trigger.

( GBA Final Fight is coming too! )

And now for the game I've been dying to play, and bought especially for this trip!
PSP - Phantasy Star Portable...

Deathly honest I am a tremendous Phantasy Star fan.
Ever since Phantasy Star IV, back up until 2003 I played Phantasy Star Online to death with my level 149 HUmar.

Tallying up a total playtime of what I believe was 1150 - 1200 hours.
So its safe to say, I played me some Phantasy Star back in the day.

So my 'Hunter's quest was over.
Then came Phantasy Star Universe, which the battle system was signifigantly more fun, yet the game just..
Unfortunately the game somehow just gets very tiresome very quickly.
Probaly because of the fast paced intensive combat.

While its a blast for like 3 to 4 weeks.
It wears on one really.

Even so though, I still capped in a good 200 hours of gameplay as the 'Ranger' class.
So the good legacy of my Hunter, and my Ranger have been slated in a monolith.

Come Sunday, during some part of my transit.
I will embark on my very first (at least as a serious playing attempt)...

The third and final class I have never played for real.
The 'Force' class. (its kind of like the magician type only much more badass)

Captain V and Dana have established themselves very well, so my upcoming force, whom is still un-named.
She will have two sentinal figures overshadowing her, until she claims her rightful place as the third Phantasy Star champion I will raise.

So it should be interesting...
Until my PSP's battery runs out.

that journal entries must be kept fresh like donuts!

Besides, come Sunday you guys won't be seeing me for two weeks.
So come get your fill of me now!
And I am damn delicious~!

So I got wind of Ghostbusters 3 in the works?
Hmmm, I have mixed feelings about this.

Really theres not much that can beat the original classic 80s, simply because there was a state of mind that only existed during the 80s.

Anyone whom has witnessed the music videos knows all about that.
In fact, right now I am going to break the news.

The horrible truth I kept inside me all these years.
The REAL reason I liked the Jetsons movie so much when I was young was because of the whole love/weirdness situation with Judy!
*That and the music by Tiffany & Shane Sutton simply kicked SO much ass it had me coming back to it*

(See back then we didn't have mp3s or easy ways of obtaining music so sometimes we were stuck with poor quality VHS units we had to rent from video stores just to listen to those truly amazing pieces of work)

Don't believe me?
Set these to your 4 or 5 year old mindset.

So colorful and bloody goddamn awesome!!!!

And there I go straying again..
The only 'good' sequel with the number of 3 I have seen, aside from a trilogy like Back to the Future, was Ice Age 3.

And damn it that was the best one yet.

*moar spoilers*

Well after me and Li examined the remains of an aquatic post apocalyptic civilization, we had uncovered oddly enough an intact bikini...

Just proving that the creators of this game were indeed male.

(Past usage of undetermined time + apocalypse + being submerged in water + a very very very long time being submerged = apparently still wearable by Naija???? Damn they don't make kinis like they used to)

Which is a good thing as I was actually having suspicions after I had seen the charged seed attack of the Nature form.

(no comment...)

ANYWAY, after that odd misadventure, we pressed on into the ruins, and thus had to whup another big bad bosse's ass.

This time featuring some underground Frankenstein type guardian and his diceased wife as a spirit hurling spiritual missiles at me.

(All though compared to King Jelly every boss aside from the Spirit Triplets have been pretty easy)

*Course King Jelly was the most pain in the ass boss I ever encountered since Rocket Knight Adventure*

And then Li was kidnapped by a mysterious shadowy hand.
(it was a really big hand too!)

As it turns out apparently Naija was more attatched to him than I was, for the next objective is to go save Li.

So swimming out of the sunken city, I had this little spirit child following me.
And somehow he made the big bad tentacle leading to the world underneath the Abyss dissapear.

I was too eager to wait another two weeks to see what area was next.
Naturally I was expecting a flame type area..

And just what lies beneath the Abyss...?
Well i'll tell you!

... Contra!
Thats right those bio-type stages where your in the alienistic organism of a stage.

I was actually kinda surprised as I thought this game already had that really disgusting Bio stage at the end of the finale of the second area...
Good god that place was DISGUSTING.
And usaully I like those types of stages but good god man..
Thankfully this one isn't bad...

Its like contra..

only its so huge it makes you stick your head out a window and yell, 'Hey~! This stage is fuckin huge!'

I don't know if its the events of lastnight or the following dream.

Or perhaps its just the loneliness of working on a project.
Its quiet.

Too quiet, and I find the loneliness unnerving.

Update:
Something just isn't right...
Perhaps its the air of the project I am doing.

I'm taking some time off to go play a little something.

Update 2:
Well, I guess I made the wrong choice of game to play.
After my exploits in Ever 17 I decided to try Narcissu.
Which has another depressing premises.

As the protoganist is a terminally ill patient whom hasn't long to live.
From what I can tell, I suppose its a journey about the road to find the place
where I will choose to die at.

I think its a time like this I should probaly go watch Pom Poko.

And its taking a big hit thus bringing me down tremendously.
Earlier I was all so happy, and a few hours ago I lay myself to rest on my bed thinking in concern.

I actually fell alseep with the light on..
And even though it was only an hour's worth of slumber.
Unfortunately I entered not only a dream, but a nightmare.

While I cannot remember the dream order, at one point I was at a barren themepark with random groups heading for the exit occasionally.
And there I stood, awaiting my party which had gone back to get something they didn't realize they never forgot in the first place.

My feelings during that long waiting period for them to return is impossible to describe.
It was all too bleak and unpleasant as I stared out into the dreary pitch black ocean the themepark was next to.

People were dropping their money all so carelessly, as the closest thing I had to stable company was a nearby fisher type individual whom looks like he was recently attacked by a shark and really should have been in a hospital with all of the fresh red scars scattered upon his body.

Always muttering to himself with foul terms as he was preparing his haul for departure.

And then there was the less savorable second segment.
Almost seemingly trapped in an area remanent to that of my home, I had encountered the one whom would purge the last remaining of mankind from the world.

Less than two handfuls of people less and they were toying with us.
If death were an asshole, it would have undoubtably been them.

And yet I was instructed even if I did evade them long enough, the world itself would meet its fate on the thirteenth of the upcoming month.

Somehow I had managed to evade them, and I had to find a way to cope with myself to accept the upcoming end.
Peacefully or else.

A very very trying dream, and thus I woke up not even twenty minutes ago.

In this case i've been playing Aquaria [link] for only 20 hours so far.
And I started back in late January.
Like only one hour every two weeks or so.

And sadly I fear I am nearing the ending of the game.

:Spoilers!:

About a month ago after I conquered King Jelly and claimed victory over the spoils which were a jellyfish attire, I laid off the game for about a month as I knew..
Whatever was at the bottom of the dark depths of 'The Abyss' , it was going to be fantastic.

From what I know I have covered almost every bit of map possible given Naija's current abilities.

And at the very bottom of the abyss, before I could progress onto the next area, a sound clip played.
And all though I can't remember exactly what it said I remember what I heard.
'When I find you, i'll make you love me forever...'
Only in a slow menacing dark tone like an evil overlord or something.

All though I didnt't find any bosses down there to fight, there was a menacing tentacle sticking right out of the entryway to the next area, rendering it unpassable.

So I follow along the floor of the abyss, and it takes me into a chamber featuring another blockade.
And the game got even stranger.

This time, it was like a futuristic doorway of a long lost civilization far advanced than anything I have encountered thus far in the game.

Naija herself made a comment asking herself if she had seen it before.

But I for one certainly cannot recall a place in the game I have seen such a logo nor technology.
So I used every power and every trick I had except for one which I just remembered now as I was writing this...

I don't feel like embarking down there tonight to try and figure out how to open it.
As the only thing I haven't tried is simply only good for turning those large cog wheels in the ruins at the Sun Palace.

Plainly put nothing worked, so I guess I better go re-explore some of the areas.
I'll keep posted as I make progress.

As I was originally planning a lengthy rant based on the storylines and debating the difference between a good story and a bad story.

Yet somehow it turned into the rant of the time and events before Final Fantasy 7 was released.
And I have been trying lately to make my journal entries more fun to read so I stuck together another shitpile of a flash to conduct a point.

So thats the quick wrap up.

In the years I have been gaming for.
One of my favorite aspects of the games were always generally the game play.

In fact its perhaps one of the most important for success.
As success is generally leads to good publicity, and the more publicity, the more people it reaches out to.

Titles like Final Fantasy 7 had its big 16-bit sibling's reputation which fired up its expectations to alarming rates.
Dropouts at school, people quitting their jobs...
Days before its release, people were either driven insane or perhaps to the point of sleep deprivation.

Or in a few cases, suicide.
Yes, even the crime that came with the launch of the PS2 couldn't match that of Final Fantasy 7.

And it only left one major throbbing question.
Was the game any good?

Yes, yes the gameplay was fantastic as it is the definition of what a proper 3D rpg should be.
Considering it was the first 3D rpg ever made , it was ground breaking, as well as creating a popularity pillar of its own to sit on.

Time itself had stopped for a few days following January 31, 1997.
Everyone had to play, everyone had to know, everyone had to feel it...
Get it into their minds, into their blood, into their lives...
And Final Fantasy 7 slowly engraved itself upon their souls...
For it was good... at least gameplay wise.

Now how about the story?
Well now whats a good story if the ending blows?

Prior to its r elease..
Yes, the rage was furious in the final weeks of Final Fantasy 7's development.

It was a crying shame.
While alot of fans were enraged, others took matters into their own hands...

So unfortunately they had to release it 'incomplete'.

Heres a quick shit-flick I shoved together give you insights to what happened.

]]> ~Vallie More Random Flash Movies? http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/25722652/ http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/25722652/ Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:39:44 PDT
I've given some reviewing of my older films.
Given the most successful was surprisingly Sonic Shitfest 2005.
Ten solid minutes of video game characters & scat at its prime...

No, I haven't retired flash guys.
Ever since 2007 after the tragedy, I haven't quite been able to get up back on my feet.

And it boils down to the primary three projects.
And i'm afraid Ascension part 7 isn't on the list.

For the problem with what happens is.
One day, your someone so you start something.
Another day your someone else, so its impossible to continue the first someone's work.
Then another day, another someone comes onto the scene and looks at the whole structure and simply goes, 'What the fuck?'

Hell i'm sure it would have been god damn fantastic in 04.
Yes i'll still finish it, after I rewrite whatever the hell I was trying to get at back in 04.

Its about the closest thing i've ever accomplished to an actual movie that I made in flash.

So what is the list of my must complete projects?
Well here it is.

1.Rogue Radio
2.(working title I still haven't even named yet)
3.Peach Vs Zelda (working title)

Really the third one is just more or less going to be the omega of just how nasty I want to be in a flash movie.
Theres no handle on that one, its just filth & whatever the hell works to progress the damn movie.

As it is based off of a phenomenally epic piece of shit I saw back in 00 or 01.
I remember it so well I decided to remake the damn thing & even continue it.

Pity I never saved the original, but I shall re-envision it.
Yet I would love to have it voiced, so looks like i'll need to invest into a microphone for my own personal audio samples.

...somewhat.
Good enough for me.

I truly have fallen in love with some scenes I have done, which all of which are unreleased unfortunately.

See the main problem I haven't released anything aside from losing motivation is ,everytime I make a whole new movie I always have the movie either a different size or framerate.

If I were just stitching random scenes together like I did with Acient 5, then there would be alot of new content to watch.

Yet, for those reasons above, I cannot do that.

So the last actual sprite movie I did with dignity was [link] which was actually a present for Kattchan.

Lately I have taken into consideration to revive a music video based on Final Fantasy 6, which I started in September of 08 and made good progress.
In fact I don't even remember why I quit, I think it was because I was clearing out some space and preparing for a reformat which didn't happen.

I'm sorry to say but I don't feel like doing action movies, I was always more partial to the life resuming along with oddities & random situations.

Too many action based sprite movies, in fact thats all what the most of them are nowdays.
While not bad, I do not see myself as an 'action' sprite movie maker.

Yes, all I do is either random collages/parodies or edits of this & that, but mostly sprites.

I piss on stuff.
Pacman, [link]
Final Fantasy, [link]
Alot of older stuff which I never bothered resubmitting because DA would rather see me dangling in tangle of my own intestines than submitting stuff.

Perhaps one day, I will finally come out and create Project OMG part 4, which will hopefully be the finale.
Since the last part came out in the beginning of 03, I am ready to lay the series to rest in hopes Gobman will forgive me.

That was a movie I never understood the plot to...
Project OMG.

As it started as a simple test of flash, involving me talking to myself in a screen with a black bg.
I then tossed on some characters , had them so some things, Cammy died , and then the rest is history.

All I can make out of it, is Gobman is out to kill Megaman for interupting his slumber or something.

THANKFULLY. Without that project nothing else would have come to pass.
So I guess it really is an important piece to what made me as I am today.
And I am grateful for it, I truly am.

Nowdays I have somewhat of a no how in flash, I just need a motivation.
Like if I were sexually aroused by an idea I would probaly do it.

Maybe that will be the spark to keep me going in Peach Vs Zelda, as that movie is just going to be endless pointless girl... ]]> ~Vallie Hard Weekend http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/25688009/ http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/25688009/ Thu, 02 Jul 2009 04:47:22 PDT I am going to say this is probaly going to be the hardest weekend i've had all year.

And when I make it to Monday, I don't know what I am going to do with myself.
Yet it would be nice to have a little something good to read~!

So for these past two-3 weeks i've had pretty much no time for myself.
but it sure as hell showed came the paycheck.
So!

By the looks of things monday will probaly be my only day off until next week.
So whatever I do on that day I am going to make sure it matters.

All though i'll probaly just blow it all on flash or another game.
Damn it I need a mental vacation.

Went see the 10:30 feature I did.

Only interesting trailer I saw was for G.I. Joe in which they appear to be using something simular to the Nano-suits from Crysis.
Or at least from what I have seen.

Sadly I don't think Cobra Commander is going to be as awesome as he was in the tv show.
Simply because the way he complained was epic.

Wasn't quite enough time spent on the robots in Transformers for my taste.
But what can you do with a director who hates Transformers, yet produces something awesome?

It makes one wonder.

In fact one of my favorites, the original trilogy of the Gall Force saga still surprises me to this day!

Yet today they really pushed the envelope and to my disbelief...
A Gall Force: Eternal Story board game of some sort! [link]

See? Your supposed to cut out the page, and set up the character pieces on the board on the left.
[link]

All though the scna isn't good enough to see everything that is supposed to be playable or perhaps an opponent.
In fact this is probaly a multiplayer game, where several people take on the role of the Solonoids vs the Paranoids.

Not sure why they decided to use the Paranoid observers though.
Yet I suppose the Dinosaut would have been total overkill.

Yet I hardly see how without a proper vehicle how the girls could hold their own.
Now Bronze-D on the other hand..

And hey wait! Why is the entire cast here?
They met with their fates earlier!

But its a damn board game so I guess i'll let it slide.
Well from what I can tell I guess your supposed to protect the Blossom, and keep
the paranoids away from it.

I guess the objectives of the game take after the movie's finale, when they were protecting Patty's son.

Course if I were a Dungeon Master, and somehow I played this game I would cheat in favor for the Solonoids.
Fuck Dungeon Master, call me Dragon Master!

Or screw that, lets change the rules some.
I'm just going to go print out picutres of the entire cast, and then cut them out and stick them all over scenes in the movie just so I can adlib it.

Yup, Eluza & Commander Don are going out on a date and Patty & Rabby are spying on them, while Rumy is busy sneaking into the Blossom for a snack, she has to watch out for that asshole Lufy, and Catty is avoiding Pony because simply said shes a techno-phile and wants to bend her over a table and then make sweet-sweet love.

Or maybe i'll just go print out Patty's son, then post the girls all at Blossom, and print out Commander Don and have the two embark on a panty raid or go out and get drunk or something.

See? The game is sounding better already!
And now I think I wanna get it... hmm..

I think its about time I returned.
Not just on DA though.

For the longest time i've been itching on making more stupid sprite movie shits just like I used to do rapidly back in 03.

And nothing returns to such an age than perhaps my most angst written movie that has yet to be completed!
But really, screw professionality.
Back then I did things wrong & in god awful ways but they never got put on hold!
Oooh no , they got done.

And since I only live once, I know i'll never make any money off of flash.
So! I am going to self-righteously continue a movie that had a major impact on me when I was younger.
Fortunately it was an offensive, half-assed piece of crap, so no one even remembers it as it was deleted eons ago!

huzzah!

Also seems that Misty has been giving me the silent treatment lately.
Or maybe its their evil counterpart or perhaps their friend or something.
So, I am just sitting here till things settle down.

Despite having a twitter, ( god why? ) , I don't even use it as often as I should.
Other than shrewd opinions I have generally related to something or another.

I forgot what else I wanted to say.

And god dammit.
I've seen some bad endings before but that was.
Like I don't think i'll ever feel happy again.

And whats worse is no one is online to console me...

]]> ~Vallie So I started playing... http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/25276584/ http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/25276584/ Fri, 12 Jun 2009 16:10:08 PDT A little angst precisely.

So I started looking for some game overs.
Notably because some game developers put alot of work into the game overs despite their nature.
Killing off a character that they have brought up is more of a task than words can say.

Even though the consequences are always non-fatal, but there are always consequences.

When I was a youngun, I adored some of the game overs.
Such as Little Mac losing the fight in Punch Out. [link]

There was even a time when I found the Zelda 2 game over kinda scary. [link]

(8 bit evil laughter + blood red screen & shadowy figure ftw)

I was always amused by seeing bad things happen to the heroes I guess.
Which is probaly why I like Dragon's Lair stuff so much.

Or perhaps 'bad endings'.

Some games actually offered such options as joining the villians.
Blessed be Streets of Rage & Contra: Hardcorps for such options.

Even Chrono Trigger, the developers went all the way to even providing this game with the game overs to end all game overs. [link]

Kinda something along the lines of The End of Neon Genesis Evangelion, with the end of the world and all.

Yet I have only actually seen that ending once, when I went to the flickering light on the opposite telepod.

Curiosity killed the poor level 1 Chrono.
Perhaps I wonder if Don Bluth has a fascination.
Perhaps he too likes seeing bad things befall the characters he invents.

Which probaly could explain why he went and did that entire scenario dream sequence of Charlie when he dreamed he was in hell, in All Dogs Go To Heaven.

And again in Titan AE, when Cale wakes up to find a Drej assasin shoot him, only to reawake from that realizing it was a dream.

Yet, in Dragons Lair, Dirk didn't actually die alot of the time.
No actually he was mostly turned into , or transformed into something or another.

(Such as a chubby little cupid/angel or perhaps a Mudman in their appropiate stages)

He always had a thing for darker animation and damn it, I love every bit of it.

Thus going to show, game overs themselves can be downright scary or even weird.
Or entertainingly wrong. [link]

Yet I was browsing and I came across one of those endings...
It was an ending for the interactive drama game, Ever 17: The Out of Infinity.
Upon seeing it, I knew I had to play it!

Simply because of its premesis~
Yep, another underwater themed game.

Only this time its an underwater theme park, roughly 55 meters underneath the surface, with a handful of people trapped.

Noctoriously, a park attendant, a schoolgirl with her puppy golden retriever, a hollagram with an AI, an engineer, an anime equivalent of Peanut's Linus with amnesia, and of course the run of the mill, main character you never get to see!

And from what I gather, they got less than a week to live the life.
So teh choices I make will determine our fate.

Great.
I can see it now, before their final days are up, they are going to eat that dog.

]]> ~Vallie Lets discuss Disney http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/25224823/ http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/25224823/ Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:16:22 PDT For the record, I have only seen things like The Little Mermaid twice in my life.

Or more like once and two halves with missing a bit in between.

Aside from the theatrical first watching, I just couldn't get into the movie at such a young age.
Years later when records show I was 9, I certainly did enjoy watching the third quarter of the movie as it was running on the Disney channel.

And some point beforehand, we had to watch it for a French class if I remember right.
No seriously, I never saw the point of watching things in french.
Or any other language.
If I don't know it, nor how the language works chances are i'll just watch it for the pretty animation.

Then I can't even recall if we got to watch the whole thing or only until the class period was up.

Now the last time I had to watch a movie in CLASS was only last year when our communications teacher insisted us to watch ' The 40 year Old Virgin '

In english thankfully.
Or was it...

I haven't even seen 'The Lion King' in ages, which is perhaps the one Disney film I have seen the most.

Once in french also, but more than twelve times in english.
(Probaly more)

Funnily enough, The Chipmunk Adventure could pretty much be considered a Disney movie as it was done by fired Disney animators.

(Or most noctoriously they were fired after that catastrophe known as The Black Cauldron)
And god dammit, The Chipmunk Adventure even with the major cuts they had to make to the movie, it is still a masterpiece!

And also my favorite movie as a child.
When I felt down or physically injured, I watched it.
Nowdays likewise.

Actually now that I think about it, I really haven't seen that many Disney films.
At least not enough to remember it all.
I can't even remember what Dumbo was about.

Saludos Amigos???
I never even HEARD of that one.

Also titles that are foreign to me,
Make Mine Music
Fun And Fancy Free
Melody Time
The Adventures Of Ichabod And Mr. Toad ( I knew about this one, but never actually seen it )

And i'll spare the details but lets say I havent seen 92% of them.
And yes I am from god damned Earth.

See its this kind of failure is what reminds me that the Dark Queen has her priorities straight. [link] 4:38-4:51

*Notice Klaus Vorstein's lookalike at 5:36*

I could go on bout that video but I won't.
Sticking to the original topic here, lately I have been considering watching several of
Disney's finest.

Be it that of the best of the best of classical Disney, Robin Hood.
And perhaps the most emotional of their revival hits, The Little Mermaid.

So start placing your bets~
Which one will I like more in this day & age?

(Technically Ghost in the Shell is old now isn't it..?)
Well I guess scratch the exceptions part.

Perhaps one of the only anime series I have ever seen in its proper exact order.
Is none other than the Burn Up! franchise.

I still remember the time I rented it on VHS.
The classical animes were always in the older type very square hardcover boxes.

Ok actually this one was an odd exception.
I mean just look at it. [link]

A really hardcover VHS box with a VHS that is yellow!
Now colored VHS tapes, noteworthy good ones were rarely colored.

I am unclear the exact packaging provided in the Japanese version of it, all though its clear alot of love was put into the Burn Up! franchise.

Perhaps one day i'll really go and talk about the three editions of the franchise.

Burn Up!
Burn Up W
Burn Up Access (the direct continuation of Burn Up W
and recently Burn Up Scramble

Good times...
I still remember sometime after seeing Burn Up! I had seen Burn Up W [link] at the Suncoast, and I just had to get it.

Speaking of Burn Up W, it was only four episodes.
Ironically I only saw the two part finale only once.
Been pondering watching it again, yet I got so much respect for it the first time I seen it.
Definately something about the first time magic.

For that same reason I will probaly never watch Steamboy again.
Or at least not until I feel my time on this earth is short.

With a badass squadron codenamed W.A.R.R.I.O.R. it freaking brings back good memories! [link]

I've realized that I have favorite scenes for all four of them.
Like those scenes that really stick with you after you watch something.

Gives me goosebumps just thinking about them.
One doesn't see much friendship in alot of the anime nowdays.

Other than the emotionless pit of a female whos entire being is nothing but eyecandy and to go on and on about their male dream whom is always ignoring their female companions while going on wild wet dreams about their male arch nemesis. [link]

Yet enough about that, lets look deeper into the problem nowdays.
Perhaps the reason i'm drawn to things like Orange Road.
I suppose i'm just too old for the pointless fun of needless traditional oversized sword wielding spikey haired dudes as they hurl threats at one another for fifty episodes, unleashed into three box sets.

Lotta people love it, but no one that matters cares for the ones that do.
Fans sell their crap at cons for other fans to buy it.

Once people start going totally fubard theres no stopping the downward spiral.
And nowdays it seems futanaria is trying to be the next fad.

One respected artist after another has gone that way, and even people like

was/is even considering it.
Which I can promise you if it turns out to be true, thats one watcher they have less.

And that goes for the rest of you who try and pull that shit.
Its not artistic, its fucking disgusting.

See its a degenerative cycle.
Shonen,Yaoi,Futanari.

With Shonen being the base, the fan later evolves unto one or the other.
Or becomes a hybrid.

All though the fanboy can be bad, [link] theres nothing quite worse than a fangirl.
See unlike the fanboy, the fangirl...

Well i'm not going to bother going there as

And speaking of purchases, I have just won a piece of history.
[link]

Perhaps one of the most complicated scenes in all of Gall Force: Eternal Story.
Like if one wonders where alot of the budget went into, I can seriously say they took it downtown when the grand finale of the musical sequence starring Rumy kicked in.

Who would have thought I would actually own a cel from the scene itself?
An epic piece of classic anime!

oh and tonight I have decided to watch My Neighbor Toroto for the first time.
Not often when I crack open a Ghibli film but tonight, its special.

I did a complete overhaul on my old character on it, and now Dana looks better than ever!
I'll stick up a comparison shot from 2007 and now soon hopefully.

So while I am happy with rejoining PSU, I decided to get a few other games just because i've been meaning to.

So i'll just cut to the list.

Crysis, Mirror's Edge, and Fallout 3.

Despite having already owned Crysis & Fallout 3, I felt the need to buy their digital counterparts on Steam.

(Crysis is still new in that special edition casing I got it in back in 07 and I simply didn't like using the DVD for Fallout 3)

As far as the reasoning for Mirror's Edge..
Simply because I am sure I could have gotten twenty bucks worth out of it as thats all I paid for it!
(Which I did btw)

Hopefully next week i'll come back preaching about a victory, as I am laying down alot of money to buy a little something I have been wanting since 03.

And so this is all i'll have to play for the next two months.
Not reviewing any of them at this time, but Crysis simply kicks ass.
But then so does Fallout 3 , and I havent gotten to the later levels in Mirror's Edge which I am most certain is what will probaly drag the game down.

(though I am enjoying the levels I played)
But its not quite an FPS... More like an FP Time Attack.
I flee the enemies while dashing around small corridors looking for places to go and ways to avoid a squadron of peoples with guns whom all have worse gun accuracy then anyone on the entire series of The A-team.

Yet it was brought to my attention that there was indeed one title I had on my to watch list that patiently waited a good ten or twelve years.

And tonight, I just saw Outlanders for the first time.

Exactly what is the appeal of older anime to the anime nowdays?
Is it the traditional art style?
The lack of CG & other lazier/cheaper means of getting things done?
The fact its about an arrogant scanty clad princess?

All of the above and then some.
Anime has seriously lost its attitude since the 80s!
What happened to that violent, pointless need for excessive violence & killing that it used to be?

Nowdays its just needless pointless drug out threats among two spikey haired emos.
And the girls aren't nearly as attractive.

Naruto? One Piece?
Don't make me take a pipe wrench to your ass, if anyone would choose their feminine selection over something like Soulcalibur or perhaps DOA.

Or ANY classic anime for that matter.
Within seconds of watching this movie, my attention was locked on the pointless awesomely bloody killing that used to define anime.

Its badass attitude.
Everytime Princess Kahn is on screen, its like she just demands attention.
And dammit everytime she was on screen, it was like magic as my eyes were hooked on her.
When was the last anime that had that effect on me?

Though really, I wouldn't have had the nerve back in the day to even touch or look at a vhs that had such a cover like [link] probaly because I was a young nervous wreck back then.

Come to think of it, did any self respecting young someone?
I tell ya, art may be improving, but animation is dying.

It really saddens me to see nothing but Deathnote, Naruto, and One Piece these days.
(Anyone remember when Inuyasha was still popular? These shows are going to be sitting up there with in give it a year or two)

Also considering adding Harvest Moon to the list simply because the
information I have heard, this game sounds like another gem.
I think I am going to need a bigger box to hold my gem collection in.

Afterwards perhaps Project Y.
Fortunately, the end of the list is in sight.
And one by one each achievement is becoming reality.

]]> ~Vallie The Dream http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/24104445/ http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/24104445/ Tue, 07 Apr 2009 00:38:03 PDT Unfortunately that was just the case.

Technically the dream was divided into three parts.
The first two segments were simply those kind of 'filler' dreams, which are impossible to describe, and totally irrevelant to the events of the third part.

Ok maybe I told a little lie there.
The first segment involved an image I had seen a thumbnail of in a deviant's favorites who will remain anonymous.

As will the deviation.
Though it was clearly an image showing the end of the days of humanity.
Depressing as it is, the third fragment was entirely about that.
Though unfortunately it wasn't something I will recall fondly.

I am going to write down the details as quickly as I can before I forget them.
A skyway, I was waiting in line on a skyway.
An exceptionally high skyway at that.
Apparently it was in the middle of a metropolis both featuring the Empire State Building & the White House next to each other.

I had just lost sight of my brother, as I knew he was near me perhaps in the line to the side of me.
It was 7ish in the evening, so it was dark among the horizon.

Then the chunky black girl in front of me began making conversation.
So we started talking about the weather which was indeed bad at the time.
I was asking her if she thought there would have been a tornado watch later that evening.

And then as she begin telling me her reply, I notice these alarming black clouds in the corner of my eye to the left.
While I wasn't able to see the entirety of the cloud formage due to the people blocking my view.
I could somewhat see it was forming in an enormous circular form funneling a bit around a certain particularly large square building.

And I don't even know what it did, but I heard that of which sounded more like mixture of a volcano erupting, and the T-rex roaring from Jurassic park.

I was simply asking myself.. 'Was that lightning...?'
And the next thing I know is the building is exploding in this horrific sight.

There was a subtle panic among all the people.
And then the clouds had began to form again.
This time around the Empire State building.
And even though I had seen it happen this time, after that strange white light..
Every light in the building had cut off, and the building quickly turned into a white/grey that of ash.

Then it exploded..
The first thing I could find myself telling myself was 'That was a landmark!'
And before I could finish my thought I saw the White House also blowing up and then chaos broke out.

'This is truly D-day.. ' was the las tthought I could think of before deciding to find my brother right away.

And with that the dream had ended.
The first thing I did upon leaving the dream was chant a 'Our Father'.

Next thing I know, here I am up at 2:38 am typing it out.

Then I scrambled over to the computer to see if Mattdrew was on.
Which he wasn't so I watched some things on youtube, played a little Robotrek, and went back to bed an hour later.

older goals such as completing my 16-bit library.

Fortunately, I have a small list sorting them out by priorities.
So between the ones I really want, and the riff raff, heres how its broken down.

:The Must List:
1. Lufia & The Fortress of Doom (Complete) *1
2. Spike Mcfang (Complete)
3. Terranigma (Complete) *3
4. Crusader of Centy (Complete)
5. Soulblazer (Complete)
6. Zelda A Link to The Past (Complete) *2
7. Tales From Phantasia

*1 - I bought it used as a cart only, and we can't have that now can we?
*2 - I got this one with the SNES but I lost the map and it never came with its own box
*3 - While I understand this game was only released in Europe and Japan, I am torn about
which version of the game to get, yet I am leaning towards the European one since its English.
This is perhaps the last great 16 bit RPG I have yet to play.

:The Riffraff:
1. Wanderers From Ys III
2. Final Fight 2 (Complete)
3. That Super Scope game w/ Super Scope *1
4. Rocket Knight Adventure (Complete) *2
5. 7th Saga *3
6. Motteke Oh! Dorobou (Complete)
7. Harvest Moon (Complete)
8. Front Mission
9. Paladin Quest

*1 - I want this one simply because it looked awesome back in the day.
*2 - Cart only, but this game is so awesome it deserves better.
*3 - Kinda fun, kinda not.. Smallest of the smallfry.

Robotrek has been marked off of the must have list, as I have purchased it just a few days ago.
So as soon as I get it in, I shall resume the adventure I started so long ago that one time
when I got the chance to rent it but I never got past the first dungeon because I- (point made)

Pretty big list now that I write it down!
And there could even be some I forgot about.
Or even hidden gems I havent quite discovered yet.
Which perhaps i'll look into adding Live a Life onto the list after I have played the game and seen it for myself.

Not counting my 8-bit list or my 32-bit list.
Fortunately I am not picky about getting the 8-bit ones complete with their boxes & manuals.
Just owning the cartridges for those is fine I think.
*Besides I already own the best damn game for it, practically new be it Blaster Master*

Oddly... I had bought Super Mario RPG from the rental store complete, yet I can't seem to find it..
I mean the cartridge.
Its like it just , dissapeared.
Very very unusaul.

Update: Speak of the devil!
I just got Robotrek in the mail, and its condition is simply fantastic!
I haven't checked out the map nor the instruction booklet, but really now I don't intend to sell it anyway.

So its official.
I now own Robotrek!

]]> ~Vallie Video Game History http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/24023193/ http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/24023193/ Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:00:30 PDT
I got in the import edition of Sonic CD last week, which is arguably the greatest classic Sonic game ever.

Theres alot of divisions on the Sonic games, as well as some of the newer ones these days.
So I will break it down from the beginning to the end.

1991, a groundbreaking year when Sega unleashed its 16 bit Sega Genesis, featuring the infamous blue hedgehog.
Me and my bretheren were far too young to make a difference on the games we played at the time.
So this was like , that really cool video game we always looked at when we visited Toys R Us back in the days.

Up until that time, the only graphics we had seen were NES, so this was amazing compared to that of which we had known all the 6-10 years of our lives.
2D Sonic the hedgehog, that was the very start of it.

1992, the Sega Genesis was still nothing but a dream to us.
Day in, day out I watched those commercials for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, just wondering.

And one particular day, I was laying up in my bunk-bed where me and my brother were watching something on tv.
And the commercial came up.

Now me being the young senseless being I was, I abruptly said that I was going to get 'one of those' today.
Anyone with common sense knows not to listen to such nonsense.

Well the commercial ends and I am just laying there in my bed quietly wishing to myself.
That evening, mom was pushing for one of us to go with her to grannie's house.
At the time I had nothing better to do, so I went.

I specifically remember sitting on the passenger's side of the van, just staying in the vehicle.
Though I can't remember if I was requested to stay there, or I did it on my own free will.

The sunset was behind me, so I couldn't really do much else but stare at the carport.
And then mom came out with 2 presents.
A smaller one and a larger one.

I was allowed to open them I was told.
So! I wanted to start with the smaller one..
But they said I had to open the big one first.
So as it was handed to me, still in the van mind you.

I tear it open and history.
Simple history was declared, it was a Sega Genesis.
Now at this point I had totally forgotten about the other one my mind was so over the hills & far away.
But they made me open it anyway, and it was Sonic 2.

And as I made my triumphant return home, I witnessed my two brothers looking bored as hell as they were playing a game of operation.
From what the story was, apparently one of my brother's friends had given them the game ealier that evening.

But when I brought home the Genesis.
History.

Our Sonic fandom had started.
In fact, as the years passed, I swear it was more of a cult.
We started a Sonic restraining order.
Thats right, the personal fanclub, the sonic funds, hell we couldn't even enter our own damn room unless we said seven passwords in their exact order.

Finally the day had come when I unlike my brothers.
Sadly, I was the best at Sonic out of the 3 of us.
And with my persistance it was only a matter of time before I found myself on the Death Egg.
Course this took months, but I slowly learned each and every level and boss.
Personally, the Wing Fortress was the hardest to learn.

Yet, as I lay those fifteen hits unto the Egg Man.
I saw the legs on his robotic chicken machine destroy as it slumped to the ground.
Naturally I knew to run right , as if being apparently the set direction to head in these
types of video games.

And the Death Egg began to explode behind Sonic as he made his exit.
I was then treated to the ending sequence to Sonic 2, making history among me and my brothers.
Simply we watched in awe.
I was ever so proud of myself.
See back then, we didn't have any magazines so we didn't know of the level select.
Yeah when we played, it was start to finish or bust.
No infinite lives or continues.
Skill or game over.
That was it.

Even with these standings..
Though not all was well.
Their obsession with Sonic was endless.
I had become distant from my brothers.
Sonic as fun as it was, it wasn't all that was life to me.
And when I turned 9, I got my Super Nintendo.

Now my brothers cursed me for this, as I was now the black sheep of the group.
They were console racist, and Nintendo was the enemy.
Which was ironically true back then.

You had to pick a side. Sega or Nintendo.
I had my fun with Sega, but seriously when it became a cult around the house.
Simply I wanted no part of it.

So I started renting some games at the local video store, one after another.
I didn't touch the sports games, I relished anything to do with sports.

Though in relations, [link] is probaly my most accurate journal entry to date.
That business from 2007 still hasn't faded, and the awful truth is, it won't.

Just some days, the pain is more unbearable, and other days its non-existant.
This morning was perhaps the worst attack this year.

Perhaps I am finding out exactly what my limits are.
Yet, after losing an achievement that meant so much to me, I think I found out the lite version of one's breaking point.

Who would have thought a ritual in a single game could have meant so much to me?
I haven't been happy since 2006.

Every so often I just come and share little tidbits about my recent activity, yet in the end its always only temporary.

In happiness I remember [link]
I guess you could say, it felt like a righteous achievement.
Work very hard for something, and you get it, right?

No, thats not how it works.
Even if you do get it, there is no assurance it won't be taken from you one day.

Like I have always feared to come home and find my home scavenged by thieves.
I worry to find love and then only to have it taken by unnatural means.

One might like to think they are invincible, and it can't possibly happen to them.
Wishful thinking at it's best.

In the end, I just want the torment to stop.

]]> ~Vallie Proper Update http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/23826420/ http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/23826420/ Sun, 22 Mar 2009 06:35:27 PDT And as I promised lasnight I would give a proper journal entry rather than little hints.

One could say I was in a hurry lasnight at the time, but i've got alot of things on my mind and I may as well dish them out here.

First and foremost.
"The Big Achievment"

Its simply a terribly expensive collector's piece of a video game I have been wanting since, I figure about 2001.
No I didn't get it, but not for reasons you would think.

For unknown reasons, I am not allowed to place any bids on it.
I know I said I wouldn't be so secret, but I think it benefits us all if I don't say what it is.

In the end, I suppose it just wasn't meant to be and it saddens me.
Maybe someday...

As I did mention earlier, yes from what word was, a chinese resturaunt was shut down for serving up cat not even twenty minutes away from here.
And given my area this is simply shocking.

Like I mean, that sounds like something you would expect to happen in New York or perhaps Chicago, but never 'Here'.
Well I suppose its true, don't think it can't happen to you.

As I said lastime about how I got into Unreal Tournament 3, which is righteouslly fun as all hell.
Though I haven't played it multiplayer.

I got issues with playing multiplayer unless its co-op multiplayer.
Though it is simply a great fragfest~
Good for anytime really!

Grab a gun and go.
That simple!
Nyaha <3 Rocket launchers & headshots.

Ok time to help some underdogs.
Time to look at my gamelist currently on steam. [link]

Despite I will never play 8 or 9 of those for certain, reason be it for I got them in those special deal packs.
Things like, Team Fortress Classic, and Day of Defeat.
Hell, I probaly won't even be playing GTA 1 or 2. Ever.

Yet.. Aside from all these commercial games, i'd like to take a moment to discuss the underdogs.
The indie games.

Starting at the top of the list , Aquaria.
I was a real fan of Ecco the Dolphin back in the 16 bit days.
Swimming around, solving puzzles & time traveling & all that kind of thing.

So they took that concept, only they added some extra goodness.
Aquaria I would say is a mixture of Ecco the dolphin's controlling, Super Metroid's rich world, and Bangai-O's combat system.

With gorgeous visuals, and a total of two creators, this game is clearly a realized vision.
I am playing this game incredibly slow, as once its over I know I will never play anything quite like this again.

So I am enjoying it for a very long time.
See [link] for trailers & more.

Next up, The World of Goo.
I'll admit. I hated Tetris.
Well hate is a strong word, but morely I was awful at it and thus I never could get to truly like it.

In fact that was the way it was with any puzzle game.
So rather than fighting russian construction workers, viruses from hell, and bastard beans from a damned bean machine...

I was shown the light of the World of Goo, which you have to build your way to a goal.
And your building supplies are these living little goo blobs.
Its fun just to build, move them around, and the game doesn't take itself seriously at all!
So naturally its the casual puzzle game of choice i'd say.

Nothing like building a leaning tower of blobsa just to pull out the key block and letting them all come crashing down~!

More on the World of Goo at [link]

And finally..
I've kept this under my hat for a while.
But something I always wanted has become a reality from behind my back and as always I didn't suspect a thing!

The final game I am going to talk about is a modern day gothic retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.

Or in this case.. "The Path" [link]
Simply said I have never played anything like this.

In all of my days, this was the only game.
The only game I completely went blank minded on.
Like normally I would think of humorous situations or, my mind would trail off in an unfavorable event of the past while playing something.

No not this time.
The forest is indeed a broad and treacherous place.
Talk about the cure for happiness.

One can't really describe this game its more like an experience.

I really believe that games like Aquaria & The Path are 3 AM type games.
For thats t... ]]> ~Vallie Upperdate http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/23819736/ http://Vallie.deviantart.com/journal/23819736/ Sat, 21 Mar 2009 18:55:49 PDT Well ok not a REVIEW, but more like I give my thoughts on the game as I progress.

Haven't been playing it lately, my mind has been elsewhere.
Tommorow I get a shot at achieving one of my higher goals, and its been racing through my head.

So my apologies to those who want an update on my status.
Perhaps afterwards I may go and do the visual report on Psychotoxic and maybe even finish another one on an entirely different game.

In local events, a local chinese resturaunt was shut down for serving up cats.
Well, I guess we don't need to ask if it was really authentic chinese.

Suspiciously a new one opened in town.
And being a member of this small community, I can tell you we have only had one other chinese resturaunt in the past thirty years.

And personally this one is actually good.
Not sure if its composed of recently missing cats or not.

Gamewise, I have been playing a small list of games.
Mostly on Steam.

Mmm yes, virtual games that you pay for and don't need the cds and can download at any time permanently.
If I woulda known that I could have gotten Fallout 3 this way..

Well least my collector's ediition copy of Crisis is still mint & perfectly sealed since I got it back in 2007.
And pity I won't be playing it until 2013 or something.

I'll probaly upload a visual of my current gamelist on it, as I am too lazy to type out all 42 games I have.

But more importantly I actually found a game I can actively play and enjoy!
Unreal Tournament 3 Black edition.
Since they were having this special sale at the time, I went and bought it.
It came with Unreal Tournament 2004 too , and that game was ultra win in itself.

The last time I had this much fun in a fragfest was in Jedi Knight 2's multiplayer.

Now for my multiplayer fix information.
So its Left 4 Dead at night, which is by far the most fun I have had with a co-op game since Phantasy Star Online.

So yeah thats pretty much it.
For those who want moar on what I am currently doing.

Update!
I will entirely redo this journal entry tommorow after that reeeeally big bang happens.

This was pointed out to me at the Adult Swim boards, of [link]

"What they say" is that, its all the fansubs fault.

"What I say" is that people just perfer older styled traditional animation to CG.

From me personally, when some people make journal entries i'm not going to lie.
I like never read them!

So yeah the hell with the chatter, from now on i'm just going to post oversized images of screenshots with my commentry along the way.

See? Everyone wins.

As I left off last time, I had just done the level inside that plane, thus leaving Angie to escape
it in the presidential escape unit.

So I had to painfully make my way through the city park level.
Now the problem is the level has no health at all, and is really just a giant gauntlet.

Get to point a,go to point b, go to point c, go back to point a, level end.
Of course the game ran like crap during this level.
(Were talking somewhere between 6 and 12 fps at best)

So either my graphics card on my work pc here isn't that great... (which I know for fact its not)
Or perhaps the game was just coded badly. ( I suspect its both reasons)

Thankfully, there is a level skip code so if I deem any level either impossile, or downright unplayable I will skip it and never look back.

After finding doctor whatshisname, Angelie dove into his mind, thus bringing up another kickass dream stage!

Though not quite as kickass as the first dream stage, this one had the greyish/yellowish 1930s silent film look, with the 1930s frame set of London.

And my opponents were hulking Werewolves, spiders the size of trash can covers, and rotting zombies.
Only this stage I had a time limit.

66 minutes precisely to destroy 8 clocks around the stage.
I had it done in about 16 minutes, but overall this level ran great and I even got to see what the game over, Max, and actually see a cutscene it ran so well!

Alas all good levels must come to an end.
Fortunately when the next destination is a bar, one knows good times are coming.
As much as I wanted to shoot the dancer, the game didn't let me, so after enjoying the little dancing themesong some, I decided to head further in to progress the mission.

Momentarily after recovering the documents from the safe, for the first time in a long time I actually felt fear from playing an FPS.
Like I complained about the sound effects before in the previous entry, but this time they actually did a good job.

There was this terrible screeching of a car coming to a stop, and then crashing, followed by the police surrounding the building.
And simply, the car dilemma is what set off my fear factor.
I'm scared of driving.

Then the good men & women of the police burst down the door and I had to gun them down, until I came across an alley where I guess I was supposed to head down into the sewers.
Yet, I couldn't figure out how to get down there after trying to fit Angela's fat ass into the hole.

So I gave up and quit for the night.
I will restart the level next time and see if its like just broken or something.
Stay tuned for part 3 of my playthrough of Psychotoxic.

Coming in perhaps... 2 or 3 weeks, depending on when the next time I feel like playing it.

So I have decided to sacrifice going see Underworld 3, in exchange for the oppertunity to view this movie.

I do not know what I am going to see really, so this is pretty much like the time I went see
Grand Torino.

Only this time I actually got a chance to look at the movie poster.
I tell you, its quite interesting to go watch a movie you know totally nothing about.

Especially if its awesome.

Well time to go to the movies!
I'll be back for part 2 of the post viewing report.

And i'm back with the post viewing report as I semi-promised!
Well first and foremost I am going to say that aside from those times at themeparks, this was the first full length 3-D film I got to watch.

(Yes it even came with the glasses)
Worked into the price, so rather than the normal $6.00 you pay, instead its $9.00.
But! They are of cheap sunglasses quality & you can keep them.

(Well I could anyway)

Normally I favor the previews as the best part of theatres.
Although, this time thats not the case.

I got to see a preview for Pixar's next work, which involves an eccentric old man whos hatred for boring life has reached new heights as he unveils his diabolical scheme to lift his house from the very earth, and into the heavens themselves via a battalion of balloons.

All is well, until he finds out there was a boyscout whom is stranded on his porch from when he took liftoff.

Nifty stuff if you ask me, I wonder if it will be in 3-D as well.

Also saw a preview about a little linen fabricated man who goes by the number 9, and bears resemblance to that of a gingerbread man.

Set in a post apocalyptic world with a mixture of sci-fi and Secret of Nimh like setting.
And Tim Burton's fingerprints are all over it.

Sure been seeing alot of him lately.
Speaking of which, I even wonder if he had a hand in Coraline itself.

It seems like something he had a part, if not inspired.
Natrually, I wasn't dissapointed.

Very much like games like Linkle Liver Story.
Only this one isn't so cutesy, or an RPG at all for that matter.
Today I am going to take a further look into Psychotoxic, an FPS that was released sometime in either 2004 or 2005.

All though I did not enjoy the demo much at all, I decided to get it anyway since it only cost me like, $5.67.
It looks like it is one of those games that have some treasure if you get through that rough exterior.

In a sense, finding enjoyment of the anime Odin.
Which in my case can only be achieved by listening to the Odin fandub 2.0 audio, while watching the original DVD itself for the great visuals.

So! With that being said, I am going play it.

Update:
For a brief bit I somehow got it to run on Vista.
After tampering with the video setting, I accidently made the game unplayable, so I had to install and play it on my work computer.

Game seems quite buggy, and exceptionally difficult, so I am turning on the god mode, so at least I can take the time to see what is shooting at me.

Update 2:

Well I can actually enjoy the game to an extent now.
I can take my sweet time as I properly aim up a head shot for each and everyone.
All I can think of when I play this game is wasted potential.

Even though I cannot pull up much information on this game (if it even exist), I can only wonder what this game could have been if it had been worked on a year longer.

As far as the combat goes, this game simply isn't anything special, in fact its actually kind of a pain in the ass.

The sound effects aren't spectacular nor anything special.
In fact several of them are so familiar, I am surprised they actually thoughtt it was a good idea to even use them in the game.
( I swear the door opening one comes from a certain instant messenger )

Its hard.
And I mean too hard to possibly enjoy.
Health is far too scarce.

Someone said that this game was probaly made in a month.
I'd have to have played it to believe it.

Though that sounds kind of harsh.
Perhaps 3-4 months.

Yet, despite all the problems with the game's combat engine which is my only main complaint aside from the bugs.

(Mostly the cutscene video problems I am getting)

These levels are great though!
Perhaps this is where the games budget, if not the heart of the game, really goes into the design on the 'dream' stages.

I'll wrap up more about that next time perhaps.

Update 3...

Well I was pleasantly surprised yet, I played through a level earlier, and I can honestly say I enjoyed waltzing around doing headshots while invulnerable.

The loading screens are simply beautiful in their own right.
From what I can tell so far, this game definately wants to be original so for that it gets merit.

Its a little strange, playing Psychotoxic, Half Life 2, and Left 4 Dead sporadically.

I suppose the real reason I didn't like the demo, was simply because I couldn't find the right door for the life of me.
God, enjoying Psychotoxic?

What the hells wrong with me.

Update 4~

The airport was a lengthier level than I thought it would have been.

All though I have been to airports, and this didn't really seem like one.
Was fun to blast my way through it.

Didn't care for the sneaking part at the end of the level though.
(They removed my god mode at that point)
Took me a while to figure out what to do also.

Now the next level, in the plane was great.
Though I suspect some who get motion sickness wouldn't find the level so pleasing, probaly because it shifts from leeeft to riiight, and uuuup and down throughought the level.

That was a kickass lil plane though.

So! I have decided to simply change the already pretty kickass music with some more fighting, motivational pieces.
As good as the music is, I find select tracks to be sort of lacking in the motivational department.
The final hallways where the finale takes place most indefinately.

The track was far too casual to be taken lightly, I mean we need somthing far more kickass for a final battle.

Especially, since Jessica's wellbeing is on the line with the classic damsel in distress.

(Another interesting opinion is a bad ending for the game if you maul Jessica while Belgar uses her as a human shield)
Mm yes, me likey.

Perhaps for a final battle, something like Flaw's 'Get Up Again'.
Or perhaps Killswitche's 'When Darkness Falls'.

Any suggestions?
Or any motivational music pieces of metal?

Well I never ask for anything so thats all I get really.
Except this year I got an Ipod.
& a decent PSP game.

And best of all, a kiriban picture I simply adore! <3
