Small animations, and a moment of silence.

 

(I don't know why, but I can't upload the newest video I made of an F-18 shooting a missile. It's not very long, but it was the first animation I've done in a year or so, so I don't think I did bad at all. But It could be a lot better. If you have access, you can see it on my facebook page.)

Now on to something a little more depressing... If you're a Simpson's fan, (or you just watch E! news) you probably heard Marcia Wallace died recently. This picture just makes everyone's heart drop a little. People have said she is more of a "background character" but I've always felt that she has been an integral part to the Simpsons lives. And, the show can't be the same without her. People have been saying that the show has been going downhill for the past few years. And granted, I don't think it's as funny as it used to be, but it still something I love watching when I get the chance. I always believed the fading humor is more of myself (and all the other viewers complaining) becoming more mature. Now I see that the show can't go on forever, and maybe they do need to end it before other members of the cast go. Also it makes me feel kind of old. I remember watching them on The Tracy Ullman show. Then when they got there own show, my life entirely changed.

The absolutely most horrible thing I've seen has been when I go internet pages, and there are people saying that Marcia dying is proof that the Simpsons is ending, because they are killing off their cast in real life, or how the show stopped being funny, so FOX needed to kill the cast so they don't have to pay them any royalties after the show ends.  It sucks to see this happen to people. They think they are being funny by TRYING to make jokes at people's deaths. It's a sad world we live in now.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

 

 

 

Ok, I have some time before work, and I was reading my facebook pages. I click on a page talking about the new MGS game. Well. of course I'm interested in the new MGS games, but the page is overflowing with fanboy comments, like "fuk xbox," or "xbone won't get any games," or people saying that THEY don't like the xbox, so if you do, you're an idiot.

Why do people have to act like this. It's a gaming console. Whatever I prefer, is not wrong. I play what I want. If you don't like it, that's your problem, and you have to deal with your own personal feelings.

And I've noticed several fanboy of different sites, that CLAIM they own multiple systems, and they still cry out, 360 is the 360 sux, or ps3 sux or whatever. BUT if you read other posts by those same people they will write in later posts that they only own one console, and they will never touch another one. (We know why they won't touch another, because they can't afford another)

Basically I'm so frustrated by "gaming" websites these days, because all they want to do is start fanboy wars, so they can get people to view their pages. There are actually times I wish we could go back to the days when arcades were the way to play games. And flat out get rid of all consoles. That way, nobody could start fanboy wars, because we would all be playing the same machine. (Of course that wish fades pretty quick.)

Here's a simple solution. If you're going to be a gamer, but want to make fanboy comments. Keep them to yourself. Nobody wants to hear some little kid crying about how they like one thing, but hate it's competitor.

Ok, I have to go to work.

So I don't have too much time to write anything to day, but I have a little. So I'll write about a game I've been into lately. I've been playing Marvel: War of Heroes, on my Samsung Galaxy S2. It's not an action game, or anything like that. It's a digital card game. And it is something I probably would have tried, but then got bored with, because of it's complexity. And I don't have time to get into those types of games anymore. But luckily, my wife's brother-in-law got me playing. And it is the most addicting game I've played in a long time. It's a very time consuming game, and there is a lot of "event farming" type gaming going on, but I think it's very playable. Mainly because of the great Marvel artwork. Every time you fuse a car (combining 2 or the same cards to make a higher ranked card) the artwork changes, and it can either be minor changes or major changes (depends on the card, and the level) If you do play the game, you could end up spending a lot of money. Luckily for me, when I tried to purchase something, the debit card I had linked to my google play account expired. So I couldn't pay for anything. If the transaction went through, I would probably end up buying more and more stuff.

Now this game definitely isn't for everyone. Some people like a lot more action going on in their games, or whatever. But I recommend you try this game out. And spend at least a few days with it.


The thing that I've seen lately, is how a card that I work so hard to powerup since the beginning, is basically useless now, that I'm a higher level player, and the cards have much better stats. But I keep the card because the artwork on it. Sorry I don't have time to write more, I'll try to get back on it soon.

Re-starting

I want to restart the blog. There seems to be a huge up stirring of fanboyism lately with the new PS4, and the Xbox1 coming out in a few months. (And for some reason, people still ignore the Wii U)

First off, if your a "real gamer," which is someone who appreciates games for what they are, and not how popular the franchise is, or what console the game is made for, or anything like that, feel free to add to the blog.

The term "Hardcore Gamer" has been thrown around for years now. It was even around when I was a kid. But now it's taken on a new meaning. And it's pretty sad. Now to be a "hardcore gamer" you just have to own one of the popular gaming systems, and only buy the popular games for that system. While ignoring, or even worse, basing everything else. Even when you haven't tried anything else.

I can go on a huge rant about how people claim to be hardcore gamers, who are either just fanboys, idiots who only want to buy what's popular (just look at anyone sitting in line every year when a new Apple product is released, and the fact is there is no difference from the product they released the year before.) or just little kids who are only able to play one game and one system, because their parent's won't buy them more than one gaming system.

I don't claim to be a Hardcore gamer. But I do play lots of games. different genre's that I aren't even my type of game. But At least I keep my options open. I don't discriminate with games. I will play all the games I can on my PC, 360, PS3, Wii U (although it broke down and has to be shipped out for repairs) soon my PS4, and my XB1. And even on tablets (my daughter broke the last one we had, so we need to get a new one, in the mean time, she gets to play on her Uncles Ipad) or cell phones. Games are Games. Don't limit yourself to what games you play, otherwise you're just missing more and more gaming experiences. Please remember that before you try to say you're a Hardcore gamer.
