uhh…. my head
Posted: May 3, 2010 at 12:32 pm | Print This PostNow don’t get me wrong people, places like facebook, twitter, myspace, really bother me.
Why, some might ask? Because sites like that make otherwise insignificant ass-mites feel self important. So obviously talking about myself would be quite contradictory to me saying this, no? Yes.. yes it would be, but damned if I don’t get to feel like I’m heard once in a bleeding while! I otherwise am quite self-effacing, nay, am quite self-deprecating.
The only reason I bring that up at all is because of games like FF13. People will say (and quite often) “The game gets better 20 hours in” (add appropriate nerd/douche sounding voice)
THAT IS NOT STRONG POINT! That is a bloody flaw in game design! That is at the very least not something to be proud of…I really don’t know what to say about that. I love RPGs, RTSs, FPSs, MMORPGS (the free ones, at least) racing games, fighting games, shooters of almost all kinds. Hell, I like JRPGs to a lesser extent.
There is only one kind of game I will not play, and that is sports games. I feel lazy enough in the first place. Then you add on a game you pay $50 for, when you coulda bought a ball and have done the same goddamn thing! Some would argue that “its the statistics”, GO DO SOME MATH YOU STUPID BASTARD. Some will say “its the rostering”… Do you really have so much time and so little brains as to fill this empty void (both in mind and time) for the sole purpose of making a TEAM?! And even others will say “its to play with the pros”…. Uh-huh, right. More self-important bullshit.
Y’know why I will play games like shooters, fantasy games, and so one? Because either A: its physically impossible (let me see some force lightning, bitches!), or B: its illegal (I’m sorry officer, I had no idea that peoples heads actually EXPLODE).
I will say this though. My only exception to this rule of mine is WII Sports and so on. Its a sports game that doesn’t make you feel lazy (just stupid, flailing about an’ wotnot) Another example is a little game called Jet Set Radio/ Future. Mainly because I’ve yet to see someone rail grind UP a telephone pole.
guhh….. rants running a little long, need to collect thoughts.
kthxbye
P.S. Oh, if I seem scatterbrained, that’s because I AM.
The Discussion
see what everyone is saying
While it IS true that the universe of self-indulgent toilet bugs that is “social networking” =IS= disturbingly… well, self-indulgent, it is far better these ppl waste their time safely in their homes babbling about the tedious minutiae of their lives than it is to have them out there jockeying for lane space.
Those who do all this WHILE driving should have their privates garroted and the corporations that make it possible should b taxed according to the social costs they engender, you know, like booze, tobacco and transvestites are.
Ajax is glaring at me as I type, tail whipping stuff off the desk. She must be pissed about the bedroom door being closed all night
