Cospwning at Animazement

Thats right folks (Roflmao "Folks") It's that time of year again. Animazement is upon... me.

Anyways, I'm just saying that I will be there, not here, so don't expect any updates until I get back. Good news is, I will be taking pictures for you all!

It's coming up this weekend at the Sheraton convention hotel center. Let me think, I will not be here friday, and I'll be hanging out with my most awesome of friends while having more fun than a barrel of monkeys. (Which would have a lot of fun. (Not sarcasm))

So anyways, I'll probably post a crizzap (crap) load of pictures when I get back on Sunday. Especially since we have monday off of school.

Bad news though, our friend, with which we are rooming with, is missing. No one has been able to contact him or anything. It really kinda sucks too. Thankfully we have a backup plan that will be thrown into action thursday night if our friend doesn't show up.

That's all from me until Sunday. Peace.

Mac's and Stupid People

Back again with my first rant! Today's rant is on Mac's and the stupid people that work on/use them.

I was inspired to write this since, in the Media Production room, I am the only person in here. The lady that does all of the tech and such for the school decided that she was going to lock all the settings under system preferences. I mean seriously, why would she lock all of these?



Thanks I.T. (Idiot in Training) Lady, thanks. Now I can't change te resolution of the projector that I have hooked up, or use the smartboard that I also have hooked up, or do anything for that matter.

My least favorite thing in the world, is stupid people. I can't stand people that can't drive or they just fail 100% of the time. I know that if I failed that badly at life, I wouldn't be out driving, endangering others with my epic failism.

Stick Manga #1

So during class I get REALLLLLLY bored and either sleep, write (To come soon), or draw randomized crap. Here is one of my most complete and favorite drawings, Stick Manga, Vol1. (More to come soon, and a digital version as soon as I get to use the smart board at school as a giant tablet :D )

"Stick Manga - Vol. 1" - Socks

Well, found an error there, it doesn't resize the window to fit, so here is a link!

Army of Two - My god, how I hate you.

Ok, here is my first REAL post on my brand new blog. Today's game review is on a game most people have probably heard of, Army of Two. I recently acquired it through my friend who forced it into my hands and made me borrow it, not kidding. Anywho onto the review.

Now usually I think it's foolish to judge a game before you've either beaten it or play it to the point where it's not anymore fun, but I have a good reason for not doing so. First of all, first of all, first of all, it's rrreeepppeeetttiiitttiiivvveee (Repetitive in case you can't read that). All I have done so far in that game is run around aimlessly in it, my gun firing the whole time, shooting thousands of terrorists, civlians, my partner AI, whatever. So what I've realized is, it's hard to lose. Yeah you heard me, hard to LOSE. I haven't died once yet. I mean, you fall to the ground about to be killed, then your partner comes, drags you behind a corner, and heals you. Magically, you're all better.

For lack of effort, time, and me caring about this game, here is a list of stuff. + is good; - is bad.
-Two men in armor and masks that head butt and high five each other in a battle field, enough said.
-You can't actually die I don't think...
-You're partner AI is about as good as a Dell XPS. that is to say, it's not good at all.
+You CAN upgrade your weapons which is a plus (Hence the + )
+You can change your mask
-Guns are about as accurate as shooting carrots
-Levels are ALL the EXACT same just with different textures
-Enemies are all the same with the exception of the boss fights that take 3 seconds and the armored guys that you have to attack from behind, enough said again.
-Doesn't put you in the character's shoes. (See "Note #1" at the bottom for more info)
-No suspense, too easy to guess what's going to happen
-First Person Shooter? I think NOT. It's like... 2nd person almost. Right over their shoulder so it's a P.I.T.A. to shoot anyone, not that it matters, you can't aim straight anyways.
-"Is that another turret?" Feeling. (See "Note #2" at the bottom for more info)
-You can tell your partner good job or wow, you're an idiot after each fight. (Is it required? What happens if you don't?)
-They are on a 6 word vocabulary, all of them are cuss words
-REPEAT THE SAME ACTION F-ING PHRASE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER *twitch*

Note #1 - Halo 3 - I get into that game on the campaign mode, I get pumped up and start yellnig at the screen "OH YEAH, IN YOUR FACE!". That doesn't happen on here.

Note #2 - Army of Two - Jeeze, every other corner is another invincible turret that you have to attack from behind.

So, despite how crappy this game is, I give it a hefty 2, out of 5.
