You Mad Br--- Oh Shut UP!!!

I've been playing a lot of Call of Duty recently, and I cannot stop laughing at the people online that I randomly play with. These guys get so angry within a heartbeat, I cannot understand why that is. I'm going to go off on a limb here and tell you all that I don't really give a damn if I'm the best first-person shooter or not, I just like to play. The only time the game annoys me is when the damn lag starts acting up and I know I knifed someone first. However, I don't sit on my couch, screaming into my head set, "You fucking faggot" at least fifty times to one person that got a cheap shot on me.
Here's something I thought was really funny when I was playing with my boyfriend and a few other friends the other day, and I'm not trying to be racist here at all but you have to believe this is somewhat true. We recently discovered that if you're a gay black man, the online folks will love you. The amount of times I heard the words "faggot" and "nigger" pop up was astronomical. I'm not sure if they really truly believe that all the people they play against is black, or they think that the word serves other purposes. I was just hoping that they would change their vocabulary soon. But unfortunately, they never did, which disappointed me because I really wanted to hear something different.

Actually, I take that back, someone actually called me a "fucking slut" because I knifed them in the back while playing "Sticks and Stones." Sorry mate, you left yourself open... I always say that to myself when I get someone with a knife. It's too funny, well for me that is.

I don't know why these two words have to repeat themselves, especially the word "nigger." I can tell when I'm playing against someone that is black because they have a distinct voice, however, when I know I'm playing against a bunch of nerdy ten-year-olds, there's no way one of them has to be black, so using the word "nigger" serves absolutely no purpose. And even when there is a black person in the game, they honestly don't get offended by it, why? Well, simple, they obviously don't take shit from other people, just like me.

I've been called a "bitch" before all because I was in the lead as a very low level. I'll admit, it's really fun taking any of the top three places while being an extremely low level user, and it probably hurts a lot of people's feelings when they see that. But you know, calling me a "bitch" because I'm better than you doesn't make any difference whatsoever, nor does it bother me. It just shows that you can't handle someone being better than you. It's quite laughable to hear the mad reactions from these users becuase honestly, they get so fucking pissed off that it's great. I just sit back, put my headset on mute, and just hear all the shit these guys throw out of their mouths. At times I want to respond to them, but I know it's totally not worth it because I know how it's going to go down:

I say something that makes them aware that they're getting so angry over a video game, they'll either respond back to me that I'm a fucking whore who needs to go back into the kitchen or just shout some more profanity with them thinking that it's really hurting my widdle feelings.

When I hear something that's absolutely original is when I'll actually start caring about the name callings, but I haven't heard anything new from any of these guys. When you overuse the words "fuck," "faggot," "bitch," "nigger," and "asshole," they really don't affect me that much as you think it should be. I just normally shake my head, laugh a bit, and go hunt down some more people who have a hard time understanding that it's just a game.


I have yet to hear anyone use the phrase, "you mad bro?" I'm waiting for someone to use it... or is this the wrong game to hear that?

Twilight Ruined Vampires... Obviously.

It's sad to see such a cool race go down in history as a mockery all due to some love book girls are so mad over. I don't understand the success over Twilight, maybe it's because I was never a fan and never will be. So some whimpy, skinny white boy who happens to be a vampire is suddenly in love with a human. That's all I know about Twilight, oh, and there's some weird love triangle, of course, going on with some wolfman. Ugh, damnit! This is ridiculous, I can't enjoy any games that has vampires in them all because of this shitty book.

The series that I can no longer enjoy anymore is the Legacy of Kain series.

Back in the 90s, this game was freaking cool, getting to play as a vampire, sucking blood from humans and kicking ass. And then when they introduced Raziel to the scene, oh ho, you're an undead vampire sucking souls from your jawless body. Raziel was one of the coolest characters I've ever played in the past, and now, all because of this damn book, I can't enjoy my time playing any of the games. All I keep thinking is if there's going to be some random twist in the game where Raziel falls in love with a human and try to keep her away from Kain's destruction. However, I know this won't happen because I've played through the entire game before, still, I keep thinking this, and it's pathetic.

Vampires used to be a cool species to play around with becuase they were terrifyingly awesome. I mean, there were so many vampire movies and stories that weren't about some stupid romance between them and a human. But because of this book, it's now being flooded everywhere with love and compassion. They're being overused in the same kind of direction with Twilight as much as the zombies are being overused. Come on, where's the fun in this? I can't find any.

I'm sorry to say this, but I can't find any kind of enjoyment with the Legacy of Kain series due to this book, and it sickens me that I say this because the series used to be my favorite series in the past. Granted that there will never be another game for it (due to several voice actors didn't want to continue and the death of Tony Jay (the Elder God)) still, it never hurts me to play it again just for funzeis, however I can't enjoy it anymore thanks to that stupid book.

Hopefully, this Twilight obsession amongst the fans can fade away by next year. As long as the movies are done for, seriously... I want to enjoy vampires as much as I wanted to again.

Decapitating Confusion Of Zombie Killings

I dunno, I'm debating whether or not it's worth having Resident Evil 6 as a present for me when my birthday comes up. I mean, I am a fan of the series, no doubt about that, but the last two games that recently came out for the series, I wasn't a big fan of them. I'm pretty sure you've all read my review about Operation: Raccoon City, and I haven't really played that much of the fifth game due to the lackluster additions that they provided in the game.

I guess I just don't want to be disappointed again. The game has obviously gone away from what it used to be, I get that, and I'm not really that bothered by it. However, at least don't design the game to where it freaking sucks like the fifth game. I'm sorry, but I was not happy when I found out that they had to censor a few things since the fourth game was that scary towards some people. I didn't like that.

Of course, you can tell that I'm against censorship. So Leon gets his head decapitated by Dr. Salvador, a character I've come to be afraid of when I hear him coming. Now, when Chris or Sheva gets their heads decapitated... you don't see it... at all... why? Because people thought that it was too fucking scary in the previous game to continue having it here.

Seriously? You have games like God of War and Manhunt existing and you think a puny head decapitation is really scary? Okay. I thought that the fifth game was going to double what the fourth had... despite that I'm not that big of a fan of the Redfields. Still, it wouldn't have killed to leave that in untouched.

It's things like that minor detail that makes me want to see if the sixth game is really worth getting into.

Can Never Be Spotted!

I am terrible at stealth games. Let me tell you why:

So, you see that there are soldiers in the area that you're in, and you somehow memorized their walking patterns. However, there's always a chance you'll miss their heads with a headshot, or there's one lonesome soldier standing in an area that you cannot see from where you're standing.

You missed the shot, the soldier gets alerted, tells his comrades around him, and they're on high alert.

You get caught with that soldier that you couldn't see, now you're being chased everywhere until you kill them all, or  you somehow escaped with your life intact.


This ALWAYS happens to me, and yet, I still continue playing these games. Metal Gear Solid is one of those games.Dishonored is another. Tenchu is a perfect example of a game I truly suck at.

Metal Gear Solid is fairly simple in making sure that you don't get caught because the soldiers are on a path that you have to wait until the soldiers turn their back onto you. However, the latest Metal Gear Solid game, the fourth one, things aren't so easy. The soldiers don't have memorized patterns that much, especially in the first act because you're in the middle of a war. No matter where I end up going, I somehow get caught, and it's because those soldiers somehow come out from a place I thought I'd be safe in hiding, but no matter where I go, there's two soldiers that walk around the corner and spot me.

Damnit!

Dishonored, a game I just beat, is another example on why I suck at stealth. You're in a large area with several guards roaming around the area. Of course, you haven't gotte an upgrade with your mask yet, so you can zoom in to get a better look around the place. So, you're stuck aiming really far toawrds a guard. You have less then ten arrows in your hands to shoot at the guards, and of course, somehow you managed to aim at the head and they landed in the torso. The gaurds are on high alert, and just because you're standing still on a rooftop, you get spotted, just like that.

What the fuck!?

Tenchu is  the last game I'll bring in for an example. You're playing as a ninja and have to get to one point of the level to the other without getting spotted, without killing the innocents, avoiding the pitfalls, and just managing to be alive throughout the entire level. I get off gaurd when there's two soldiers around and I don't see the first guy. I mean, I hear him walking around the area, the meter that alerts you if an enemy is near by is flashing and the icon is getting bigger and bigger. But for some reason, I just can't find this guy, but he finds me. So I get spotted, and the "Grand Master" title is officially lost right after there.

Oh Sonofabitch!

Yeap, it's official, I suck at stealth... Probably have happened to you, but hey, these games are still super duper fun to play every now and then.

I Made A Widow For Killing Someone

Dishonored is a game I just got not too long ago and man oh man, it's fucking awesome. I mean, here you are playing as Corvo, a man who is being framed for killing the Empress who must show that he wasn't the killer by getting back at those who betrayed him...

But there's more to that than just revenge, you get to have magic powers and different outcomes of the game. I LOVE when a game features different outcomes!!! You see, you can either be really ruthless with your enemies and just slaughter them, and I do mean "slaughter." You don't just get to slice and dice people, you can really do some damage with your weapons. Here, I toss a grenade from such a high distance that it literally chops the poor sap into pieces. Their limbs fly everywhere and you can actually pick them up, to distract the guards and such... You can even play soccer with decapitated heads by sliding into them. But getting back to the outcomes, if you slaughter these guys, the darker the city becomes, which means more rats will start eating upon the bodies, even the unconscious ones if they're in sight. However, if you don't kill these people, you can make the city a bit nicer, which is also giving you the best ending of the game. Yeah, the ending depends on whether you're a killing machine, or a knock out ninja.

I hate stealth, but it's your number one best friend in the entire game. I somehow always stumble every now and then with an arrow getting shot into the torso of my enemies instead of their heads. Every now and then, when you make a great shot towards them with your crossbow, the camera zooms in on that arrow and just springs right into a guy. This is the only game I know that decapitates enemies with flying arrows. You also have grenades, proximity mines that you stick onto walls that just slices your enemies into pieces. Your arrows can either have a normal effect to them, a sleeping effect, or an incendiary effect to them. You also have a gun as well.

Now, I mentioned that you have magical powers. You can actually complete the game and receive a trophy by NOT buying any of these moves. But you can teleport, possess animals/humans, rise a swarm of rats to devour nearby enemies, see through walls, and stop time. You can also improve yourself by upgrading your health and weapons by collecting bone charms and money. Bone Charms gives Corvo something special such as slicing rats gives you more adrenaline, drinking from a sink restores more health, those kinds of things. Collecting money throughout the game can help you give Corvo upgrades on his mask and weapons. Your friends can help you with that.

Yeah...

Anyways, these missions that you go on are just so fun, and running and slaughtering and just being a total badass is always fun. I know I'm going to get the bad ending because I'm killing almost everyone in my sights except for the innocents. However, I will replay the game to get the better ending and know what to do and such while NOT killing people in my way... That's going to be really tough. You can kill the enemies that you have to kill, there are also nonlethal ways to do it as well, but hey, being bad is just as good as being good, right?

Right.

Butt Stallions!

Yeap, from that name I'm sure those who already played Borderlands 2 knows where it comes from. Got my Playstation back. Turns out the laser was the problem so they fixed it AND gave me two gelpads for my joysticks. It's just the number six logo from Resident Evil 6. Turned one of them into a nine so I got sixty-nine on my sticks. Heh!

Anyways, so far, I'm liking what I've been seeing with Borderlands 2. I'm not really digging the whole Maya character as much because I feel that she's just utterly weak compared to Lilith. That or I'm just finding myself entering a bunch of group shootings and getting my butt tossed around like a rag doll or whatever. I do say though that having her special giving me health if I kill the guy in the orb is a bit helpful in these situations.

I'm really liking the improvements they have with the jumping. Before, you're jumping on the moon, this time, you're not jumping as high or as slow. I also like how if you shoot down an enemy to around ten percent of his/her health, they walk slowly towards you, so it's not like they have infinite stamina. The car is also better improved, it doesn't feel like it always gets stuck to everything when you're driving.

I've only touched Maya and a little bit of Zer0, and they're real fun to play as. The other two characters I haven't experienced yet, although I got the boyfriend playing with me one day and he chose Salvador, he didn't really tell me what he thought about him.

Any who, the game is kind of in a slump right now because I'm doing side missions, not the main ones, I do like that you have an option on some of them. Would you rather turn in the mission to this guy or to this. Get this reward or that? It gives it more of a better feel for an RPG kind of thing, rather than do this mission, complete the mission, turn it in, reward. I mean, sure, that's what WoW does but, not every RPG needs to be like that game.

My review about Borderlands 2 is going to be a bit short because I haven't really experienced too much of the game. Sure you're bumping into characters from the first game, the new ones are welcomed into the Borderlands family, the hilarity is back, the new guns are awesome to shoot with... I'm also liking the whole, "reload this gun and they toss it out like a grenade towards the enemies." I thought that was a nifty new feature. I haven't come across any of the talking guns yet, but when I do, I think I'll be laughing my butt off like normal.

Annnnnnnnd.... that's it! What, you thought I was going to say "open?" What's there to open?

I Spoke Too Soon, But I Became A Farmer Instead

So, my Playstation wasn't fixed from it's reading issue, so it's back in the shop, delaying my Borderlands 2 play even more. But you know what? Tilling made it okay for me to not play the game for a while. You see, I'm going to be in some sort of WoW frenzy for quite some time, at least until the game begins to grow more of a tiresome towards me, and I have no idea when that's going to take place. However, it's not going to stop me from enjoying so much of the new features Mists of Pandaria shows. 

The level cap is now 90, which is okay, so I get five more levels being added. However, I'm not really going to be digging the priests' new move. Void Shift. It's where me and some other player switch health bars for a moment. What? How is that supposed to help me when I'm not in a raid? Damnit, once again priests gets the suckier part of new additions. They never get good looking gear, and I really don't want to rely on transmogging all the time because my gear looks like I just walked out of a circus tent.

A new feature to this game is Tilling. We get to farm, and I found it to be quite an interesting little new feature, despite that I have to wait a day until my scallions grow to its fullness. However, I see that there are a lot of varieties going on with what we can farm, and I cannot wait until my farm grows even larger to experience this.

I am digging the quests and the story behind Mists of Pandaria, they definitely did things much better than Cataclysm. Lets be honest, Cataclysm really just wasn't remotely fascinating whatsoever and it was dreadfully boring. So yes, thumbs up for a new and improve story.

However, I am not digging this double teaming bullshit from the Alliance when I'm trying to do my quests. It seems that the Horde never plays together and the Alliance do. And when they do, they double team the lower leveled characters, mostly a healer and a dps. It pisses me off when I'm facing against a druid and a rogue because it's just not fair. And when you have someone camping the area, making it nearly impossible for you to just quest and not bother them, it just gets so darn annoying.

I hate it when it looks like I'm sucking, but honestly, it's not fair when you immediately attack someone when they just rez and their life and mana meters are down at half full half empty. I'm that kind of player who plays fair... unless you tick me off... then I'll just do the same thing to you if given the chance.

Anyways, yeah, I'm a Blood Elf shadow priest, almost 87 right now. I'm digging what I'm playing, and I WANT MY FREAKING PLAYSTATION BACK!!!
