My is most literally correct as I am posting random notes in my life, you can't chatter or talk over forums unless ZB decides to add some feature like that.

What's happening in my life?
Nothing interesting really.

06/03/2010 07:54 PM   This is what  I would want for my birthday
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-8x-4...-3n5p.html

It say not yet published or released however it says it's in stock sometime this month.
It's pretty pricey though I think that's near the usual price for imported plastic statues. If it's my birthday I should be able to get away with it I hope.

21/02/2010 06:40 PM   Two random questions
Okay here's some things I want to know for sometime now (about a week actually)

1. What day of the week are new episodes of Kiddy Girl-And usually subbed and released? The groups I'm trying are both the Himatsubushi and [ANBU] groups. I'm finding [ANBU]'s subs better.

2. Recently some ads (image ones) are getting through for me in Fire Fox. I do have Adblock plus and No Script.
Is my subscription list for Ad Block Plus outdated or are they just finding ways around now?

Thanks in advance.

20/01/2010 11:26 PM   Nanoha PSP
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9f-4...43-99.html

A hundred and seventy six dollars for the special edition. (In AUD because Australia is where I live)
I'm not sure if it's worth it but I would really like that limited edition Nanoha figure.

EDIT: Actually it might be worth it because from the looks of the picture provided it comes with other extras apart from the limited edition figure. Also it's one of those pose-able figure meaning there's balls and joints which don't look as good as the non pose-able statues.

31/12/2009 04:16 PM   Action Fucking Fifty Two
Such a shame I made a little too many threads in my blog otherwise this could've been the 52nd thread in my blog.
Action 52 in 1.
It's a compilation of games, guess how many.
And all of them are poorly done made and get very boring fast.
I decided to play the genesis one, I think there was one for the NES too. And these games aren't licensed by the console manufactures.

Well lets get started shall we?
[image]
We have some disclaimer screen and a code of the difficulty of the games on the menu. (these difficulties are kinda irrelevant actually.)
And here's the title screen.
[image]

Then you're brought to a menu of stuff I think I'll go ahead and review all 52 games.

1. Bonkers
[image]
The picture says GO BONKERS! but it say bonkers on the main menu.
[image]
Basically the games play like some break out clone only you're controlling the ball, there's no pits and you can only break blocks of the same colour as you by touching the panels in the corner, I can't see how you can lose this game.
2. Darksyne
[image][image]
Okay basically this game controls like asteroids only your not shooting asteroids, you're shooting other crap. The game has fuel which depletes when accelerating and when you use the barrier by holding b which protects you from dieing. One time I activated a glitch where I had the barrier permanently but my fuel wasn't going down.
3. Dyno Tennis
[image]
Shouldn't it be spelt Dino tennis or they think it's cooler spelt their way, huh..?
Well basically it's some tennis game where you use a caveman as a tennis ball and you play as dynosaurs. I never really got the chance to play this properly because I had no one to play with and I think no one would want to and I hadn't been bother to configure my 2nd player controls
4. Ooze
[image][image]
Some game (if you can really call any of these, games) where you play as what I can assume to be a retarded kid with a gun, I didn't get very far because I wasn't trying and I always fell down the first pit.
5. Star Ball
[image]
some pinball clone, nothing much to say here except that there's a really ugly face near the top of the table and you can mash the flipper buttons to win, sort of.
6. Sidewinder
[image][image]
This is some crappy back view shump where you (attempt) to shoot other planes and missiles. I never understood if I was actually playing the game or something.
7. Daytona
[image][image]
Now I'm not sure if it's time trial or "racing" because the second you start the race the two other cars will be out of your sight. But when you get to the end you still go to the next level. Also the car handles nothing like a car.
8. 15 Puzzle
[image]
You should know what this is
9. Sketch
Do I really have to provide a screen shot for this?
Basically you control a pencil with the control pad and draw with c, b changes the pencil size and a changes the color. one of the colors is glowing red and white for some reason. Also the game is in yellow font on the game select menu meaning it's for experts, wimpy action 52 gamers keep out!
10. Star Duel
[image]
This game pretty much reuses the formula from dark syne, only you shoot the other player. The later levels makes gravity drag you to one side of the screen and/or grants you a 3 way directional shot
11. Haunted Hill
[image]
(I know it says hills with a plural but it was only one hill on the main menu.)
[image]
Ever wanted to play a crappy striped down version of the classic Castlevanias!?
Well then, this is the game you need!!
12. Alfredo
I'm not sure if it's my dump of the ROM (I'm thinking not) but the game crashs/freezes on a black screen whenever I load it.
EDIT: Okay so I tried a different ROM and emulator just to see this garbage, don't know how how to use the screen shot in that emulator and couldn't be bothered using print screen. If you want to see it, look at the video I posted.
Anyways this game is about a chef who must catch living food with Banjo Kazooie eyes jumping out of the cauldron and into the pot he's carry. If you catch a certain type of food you lose and the rest you will score points for. I have no idea what you're meant to catch and what you're not meant to catch.
13. Cheetahmen
[image][image]
Crappy platformer game that uses a similar formula to Haunted Hill(s) that's all I'll really say.
14. Skirmish
[image]Okay, it's some turn based strategy game where you deploy units and move one per a turn. For some reason you can only deploy 2 units at a time (or I'm missing something) so you obviously don't want to deploy your HQ.
Now for the battle scene (with two infantry)
[image]
Basically if couldn't tell, you run around shooting each other, I've only bothered to see infantry and tanks in battle scenes.
15. Depth Charge
[image]
A game where you play as a boat to bomb subs, I can't really see how it's possible to lose.
16. Minds eye
[image]
Shouldn't it be Mind's eye? Oh well, this game plays exactly like minesweeper only when you open an empty space, all the other empty spaces near by don't open up aswell so you have to open one square at a time. Talk about lazy concept.
17. Alien Attack
[image]
Some crap game where you have to run all the way to the far right as you can while shoot or dodging aliens. Something about the player sprite reminds me of Contra
18. Billy Bob
[image]
A bit of an obnoxious name to give a western game I reckon.
This is some first person game where you control some hand and shoot all the outlaws.
19. Sharks
[image]
A gay game about a gay blond person who wants to harpoon the poor sharks because it is because he thinks it's an action game. You can probably guess how to play this game from the description I provided. The sharks bleed when you harpoon them Sadist However you bleed and turn into a skeleton when you die Itchingsmile
20. Knockout
[image]
A fighting game with only 3 possible actions.
1. Move left and right.
2. Jump.
3. Punch.
4. Turn off the Sega genesis and stop playing/quit the emulator
With such a tiny amount of actions I couldn't really imagine how the game would by played seriously
21. Intruder
[image]
What you do here is well, dodge the laser walls and shoot whatever the enemies are. I already got bored of this in 7 seconds.
22. Echo
[image]
Game where a pattern of sounds is played and you repeat the pattern.
The sounds are strange though.
23. Freeway
[image]
A game that reminded me of frogger on first glance. You play as the dog to get some unknown objects(!?) from one side of the road to another, I find the death animation funny.
24. Mousetrap
[image]
IT'S A TRAP!
Actually, no wait, there's no a single trap in this game.
You collect the cheese while advoiding the cats. While in cartoons usually the mouse pwns the cat the case might not be so here but however you will probably pwn the Action 52 cartridge if you actually owned it.
25. Ninja
[image]
This game is a disgrace to ninjas! Also did the devs try to make the ninja take place in it's homeland or should we not be seeing those sort of statues in Japan? Is this place even supposed to resemble Japan!?
Well the game works like this. There's an ambush of Ninjas coming in after you. You can throw ninja stars at them and you can also jump. The jumping is really only for an evasive technique as there is no platforms in the game except the floor.
Like Alien attack the player sprite reminds me of a commercially released game and this time I think it's reminding me of Ninja Gaiden.
26. Slalon
[image]
Simple game, ski down the hill avoiding trees, that's it.
27. Dauntless
[image]
Fly around shoot planes, cloud overlays get in your way
28. Force One
[image]
I'm getting sick of writing descriptions now.
This is a vertical shump of some kind really. Yeah I'm getting lazy
29. Spidey
[image]
The game play is more or less the same of that Mouse game with no traps despite the name.
30. Appleseed
[image]
Okay, you play as the jolly farmer who wants to collect the apples falling which isn't really a good idea because they'll get bruised. This jolly farmer is the most optimistic person you'll meet in any video game.





....






No, he's a jerk ass who gets real pissed at you for collecting a green apple which will be more often then you might think and what the hell is wrong with green apples!?
31. Skater
[image]
Play as a prepubescent kid who skates by the beach with nothing but girls in bikinis and trash on the road you must dodge. Also this kid has a thing for hating boom boxes so you have to run over as many as you can
32. Sunday Drive
[image]
When I first read the words Sunday Drive, the first thing I wanted to do was to run into another driver and that's the opposite of what you're meant to do.
That sign in the screen shot I taken you'll be seeing for the whole game.
And there are no exits on the highway you're on.
33. Star Evil
[image]There's alot of crappy shumps in this game isn't there. This game is a disgrace to the shump genre!!
Anyway this game looks familiar to another game I once saw but I'm lazy for thinking up what to say for this game so I'll end it here now.
33. Air Command
[image]
Okay, the hell this time? weird perspective for a game of it's type. Maybe it way to have people think that is crappy shump is slightly different in it's level of crappyness so Active enterprise can hide how lazy they really are?
34. Shoot out
[image]
I don't really know how to tell you about this game
35. Bombs Away
[image]
Play as some dumbass who didn't think of hiding in a bomb shelter and thinks running away from bombs is the safest thing to do
35. Speed Boat
[image]
Dodge stuff with your boat. I think I might've already posted a few games like this but there's so many and all crappy I can't remember
36. Dedant
[image]
Okay, this one is the best at being the weirdest to some point it's funny.
You play as an ant in a field of grass shooting other insects. I don't why but's something so hilarious about and the sad part is I can imagine the devs making that game with a straight face.
37. G Fighter
[image]
I don't know what the 'g' stand for but in this case you can make it up with your favorite insult word that start with g. The only one I can think up from the top of my head is gay. This game otherwise similar to that dauntless game only there's no overlay and the ship will attack you on the first level
38. Man at arms
[image]
You play as an archer defending the castle, you can shoot the enemies multiple times before they die and like every other game on the list you'll will get bored of it before two minutes or a little longer or much shorter
41. Norman
[image]
Heeeeeeeyy, this looks just like that fight scene in the skirmish game with the tanks (although I posted a screen shot with infantries) so it's plays really more or less the same only there's enemies coming for you.
42. Armor Battle
[image]
...




















Okay for an actual description of this game, basically the fight scene in that skirmish game only that you can only be tanks and there's none of that turn base stuff
43. Magic Bean
Well all the game so far would have what I could say about, below genesis standards but this game makes up for it all just look at this screen shot...
















[image]

Only two shades in the bean stalk and the sky and clouds looks flat. This games best Sonic the hedgehog 3 (and Knuckles) by a loooooooong streak. Such art could be achieved by making a picture from mspaint from scratch.
Anyway this game is another dodge the incoming objects.
44. Apache
[image]
Another disgrace to the shump genre so I'm not bothering with this one.
Also interestingly enough, the rocks or whatever they may be that look like they're in the background kill you for some reason
45. Paratrooper
[image]
I can understand that trooper part but not where it's 'para.'
This game is somewhat similar to the intruder game only the walls don't kill you and you collect all the computer chips(?) to proceed to the next level.
46. Sky Avenger
[image]
I can't see who you're avenging, but my guess is the dumbass from bombs away because the scenery looks exactly the same.
The game play is like G Fighter (in which G Fighter is already like another game) and when you thought they couldn't get any lazier.
47. Sharpshooter
[image]
This game is somewhat original compared to every other game so far.
Actually no wait maybe not. It's a vertical shump but you can only move in the horizontal pane and enemies don't come at you like a normal shump.
Speaking of the enemies I made out most of them expect for the hell that pink thing in the top right corner.
48. Meteors
[image]
This game is already like a few in this multi cart only instead your shooting meteors that put up no resistance what so ever.
49. Black Hole
[image]
Do I even need to explain this one?
50. The Boss
[image]
This game is actually a one of a kind in the whole cartridge.
You play as a lizard and you climb up and down ladders and move left and right to collect money. I find the frog cops and the thugs funny looking, the way they animate is pretty funny too.
51. 1st Game
If it's the first game, why is it the second last game on the list was my first reaction (which was second last on the list) until I found out what they meant by first game.

















[image]
I don't quite why they didn't just call it pong
52. Challenge
This is the worse game of them all. The picture can describe it better than me.
[image]
Also if it's all the games what should happen with 2 player games and sketch?
Q: Play this game or not?
A: Absolutely not! All 52 two games are horrible and none of them are worth playing seriously. This game is a prime example of quantity over quality, even so, there's not even quantity when so many games play the same from one another.
This game is only worth playing if you're one of those gamers who play crap games to laugh at how bad they are.

14/12/2009 10:24 PM   Pwnt(?) by a PSP go
Okay today I went into an electronics store and there was a PSP go on display. It was the first time I could hold one. It was light. I move the screen up, I love the feeling of the moving screen, I could just move that screen all day, anyway I turn it on because it was off for some reason and the xmb looked the same only there's no ms icon and there's  an internal storage instead, I move screen down because I like moving that screen and it showed a clock.

Now for the pwnt I mentioned in the thread title...

So I move the screen up and fiddle around the XMB more because there were no sample games or anything. I get to the system settings and I see the nickname (it was a default name P### three random numbers), for a store display PSP I thought I could get away (I never thought about cameras at the time though) with being amusing to myself by changing it to something else (I was thinking off changing it to Nigger actually O_o), although I thought it wasn't the right thing but I went to proceed and before I could change one letter the store alarm goes off.

So what happened next?
Well I turn off the PSP and quickly moved away from it.
I don't think I was the one who triggered it though but I was sure kinda scared.
