Add

Previously unthought of brain malfunctions

I think to myself  “I should add a post” (add in a good measure of hillbilly retard voice to make funny), but really, is my life that interesting? Short answer is: no. The long answer is: NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Then I just say, toss it, I’ll blag anyways. Lately I’ve been blissfully unaware of politics, so I’ve nothing to think of on that point. I could rant on about games, but who wants to hear that? So I return to the previous conundrum of what will I blither about?

Shit, I got nothing, so I’ll talk about games anyways.

One thing I pride myself on is not forgetting where games and I came from (in relations to games) My family was quite poor, so when it came to games, my dad got what he could. And damned if I didn’t get my(his) dollars worth out of them. It seem to me these days that games are getting shorter. Or is it that I’ve gotten better? Y’know when you start a brand new game, and as you progress and eventually beat the game, you start a new one. But as you play through it a second time, it seems like it wasn’t all that difficult to begin with. For me it seems like a lot of games these days give me a similar feeling, like I’ve played it before, merely going through the motions. And some will feel too short just as your beginning to have fun, or your having a blast and that’s it. But what gets me is when publishers are trying to wring every cent they can from a “franchise”. One of my personal favorite examples is Quake. God, I love Quake 1-3. But Quake 4,Quake Wars, they can go and ream themselves. Why the Strogg? Publishers have a nasty habit these days of stealing the ball, running for the end zone, then flinging themselves (and the property) into the sidelines. They could have pulled a Final Fantasy and made it into whatever they want. Hell, if they are going to go off on any storyline, the Slip Gates would have been the easiest. Yeah, the death of Shub-Niggurath might have been a stumbling point, but hell, how many times can you kill the Makron before you start getting all Metroid on its ass.

And agreed, not having Ramero on the team was a kick in the pants, but enough with the freakin’ strogg! At least in the case of Doom, it was so widely different from its predecessors that I couldn’t find much fault in it. If they do make a new doom (gods forbid) they should wait sufficiently long that technology has taken a whole new bound as to make the previous ones in the series look like a perverts satanic scrawls.

Wow, talk about off topic. Uhh…where was I? Y’know what, I forgot, I guess I’ll continue this later.

KTHXBYE
