Yo. Felt the need to post. Mostly because I saw Transformers: Revenge of the fallen today. And I liked it. Yeah I said it. I liked it. F you world! I SAW TRANSFORMERS 2 AND I LIKED IT!
I Also Wore My Ravage T-Shirt:
Why the hate? Seriously. So much hatred for one movie.
I liked it. A lot. Made my day. And Ravage was awesome. I'm just a wee-bit sad that Soundwave was some thinggy in space.
There were robots. There were robots fighting. Optimus kicked ass, and didn't get his ass kicked this time. The robots had more screen time than last movie.
Yeah, ok. So there was a lot of random crude humor for no reason, and a lot of fanservice for/from Megan Fox. (The painting a detail on the bike in the beginning, upside down I might add, was hilarious fanservice.)
Stuff blew up, it was ridiculous, robots fought, died, and were ressurected. (after cheesy magical prohecy scenes that were funny and completly retarded) Egypt and Jordan were permanantly redecorated. Did I mention that Optimus totally kicked ass? Yes the movie was silly. Yes there were retarded things going on. Yes the story wasn't as fleshed out as it could have been. But doesn't that happen in the vast majority of silly little summer action flicks? The only real difference this time was that there were helicopters being exploded by TRANSFORMING cars. And a distinct lack of old washed up retired 40-50 year old military guys/cops/spies as the main character. Instead we get Sa---Shia LeBouf--m Witwiky and... fanservice-y Megan Fox... I mean Mikala?
Bottom Line: Shit blew up. Transformers were present. Transformers blew shit up. Huzzah!
Also: yeah, ok. the random crude humor was retarded. But the rest of it really played like an Action flick. A funny silly, shit blows up for no apparent reason, action flick.

Careful, I heard she hits below the belt.
Yo. Hasn't been TOO long I suppose. Then again, I don't suppose this post could seem anywhere near late considering my last epic gap between postings. Any who, I've been playing a lot of Fable 2 recently, and I found something in need of sharing. Mostly because I was shocked and appalled and amused and mostly shocked.
That's A Low Blow Right There:
Alright, so as I said, I've been playing a lot of Fable 2 recently. Now, what makes this post worthy, is something that I found slightly shocking, humorous, amusing, and somewhat appalling.
You see, I was running around and adventuring, off saving the world and whatnot, when I decided I wanted to get married and have a kid so that I could have some legacy when the game was over. So I went off and got me a husband, and proceeded to make me a babby. (I had a little boy, I named him Asher)
Then it turns out the very next main quest was a trip off to some crazy prison place for 10 years. Yea. Total FML moment. So off I went to the crazy prison place after saying my goodbyes to my brand new family (there's no break from this hero business).
10 years later I've managed to break out of prison and the first thing I do (after changing out of the weird guard uniform) is go see my family. Of course they're ecstatic that I'm alive, and not dead in a ditch somewhere. And my little boy is all happy that he finally gets to meet his mom. Yayness.
So after our heartfelt and tearful reunion, I wonder off to go back to saving the world. No vacations from that.
And that's when all hell breaks loose. I'm about halfway across the known universe when I get an update from my family. Apparently my dear old husband is horny. Now, being the kind person I am, I make the 2 day jog back home just to accommodate him. Then I arrive at my house, and lo and behold, the bastard doesn't want sex. He wants a divorce. WTF.
A two day JOG across half the country for him, and he want's a divorce. So there I am, standing on my doorstep feeling extremely confused and put out. So what do I do? What any person would do. I beg, grovel, and shower my bastardly husband with gifts.
To no effect. Finally, annoyed and angry at my retarded husband who won't respond to anything I do, I give up and go off to save the world again. Of course, about a day later I receive a note saying that my husband has divorced me and run off to live in some other region. Bastard. So continuing with the slaughtering monsters and my long trek cross country, I receive another note. Apparently since my husband 'died' (yes. that's exactly what it said) my child was taken away by the Fable world equivalent of Child Protective Services. FML.
Now, as traumatizing and weird and retarded as this whole situation was, it has little weight on what happened next.
The next place my poor single arse had to go was some marshland full of killer banshees. Now these little ho-bags couldn't just scream like they do in myths, they wern't even enticing or anything, no. They were evil little things who shout out your worst fears in a haunting voice. So of course my fable banshees went around shouting about my failures as a wife and how my husband wouldn't stay with me for anything. Ouch. Ouch. Seriously, ouch. Such a low blow.
Had that hit anywhere close to reality, that could have stung. Stupid game pointing out inadequacies. As it was, I just killed her with fire and went about my merry little way, while wondering what the consequences of that could be for someone who had experienced any of those feelings in real life.

I have no razor claw with which to evolve my Sneasel
Huzzah! It's been less than a month! I'm so awesome. My crappy updating schedule needs to be fixed. -sigh- Maybe one of these days I'll actually commit myself to regular updates. though I must say, I updated with much more frequency while school was in session. Curious. In any case here goes nothing.
Here There Be Updates:
I do believe I've watched more movies this last week than I've watched in months. I blame this entirely on our new HBO and Showtime subscription. Also on my mothers addiction to said channels. (on a slightly related note: I'm watching titanic. I think dislike Rose's character.) Any who this all goes along with my addiction to stories. I say addiction, because that what it truly is. An addiction. I don't normally watch movies, I find it very hard to convince myself to sit down and dedicate time to well... sitting and watching. I know it seems counter intuitive given my normal lazy nature, but thems the breaks. Either way, once I do actually sit down I can manage to pay attention. Most of the time at least.
On a slightly less related note my DS is getting lots of love. More love than it's gotten in a long time. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is truly an awesome experience. One of the best games I've played in a long while. I'm kind of sad it hasn't gotten the sales it deserves. I also finished up Infinite Undiscovery, and that was a very refreshing change of pace. The characters were really well done, Capell especially, and the story was definently worth my time. I've got Fable 2 in my backlog, and Knights in the Nightmare on the way, so needless to say my gaming needs are well taken care of for a while yet. But at the same time, Prince of Persia 360 is down to $20 and I almost can't resist picking it up. Almost. We'll see if I actually manage to hold on to my money...
