Future Post on Mass Effect Sometime within a week

Got a test and a banquet/panel I have to attend in order to graduate. I won't be graduating for a year, but if I want to, guess what I have to do?

While I do love Mass Effect, I have not been playing the game as long as others and really went into the franchise blind off of everything but "It's good and you can play a woman if you wanted". I'm not disappointed with the ending, but I did feel it was rushed and not as well thought out, but otherwise, I'm fine with it. I am already playing the game on a second playthrough bumping up my difficulty to "Casual" (so hardcore, right?) The thing that annoys me the most are fan reactions to it. I don't mind that people are genuinely upset about the ending and want to voice that. Yet, it's gone too far.

I'll just voice on my opinions over art vs. commercial product and will say that the Cupcake thing I thought was just stupid. I know people think it's so clever that they gave the same cupcakes in three different colors to prove a point, but I heard of this after Bioware made a statement that they were going to reveal plans to address fan feedback. I was like, "Really, they just said they were addressing it. The cupcakes are not needed. Also, you should have made them equally bad and not delicious, but whatevs."

Expect a topic on that and ten things that annoyed me in ME3 that have nothing to do with the ending, because there is that.

I need to post new videos to the Youtubes, but I just have to live outside of the internet and equipment costs so much.

Top Ten Studs in Gaming

Tired of all these lists only focusing on women to please the man? Well, the woman would like her turn so I present what are my top ten studs of gaming. The only rule is that they must be a character meant for a video game (so no one from comic book adaptations like Arkham series counts) Not in any specific order, except alphabetical here they are.

Angel and Bodie from Dance Central 2
Balthier from Final Fantasy XII
Ryotaro Dojima from Persona 4
Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series
Klavier Gavin from Ace Attorney 4: Apollo Justice
Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil series
Akihiko Sanada from Persona 3
Snake from the Metel Gear series
James Sunderland from Silent Hill
Garrus Vakarian from the Mass Effect series


My plan was to make a video for this and I still might, but I need to finish up my Capstone and then figure out my schedule so I can graduate

Facebook Parenting

I came across this video thanks to my The Soup feed on Facebook. I'm sure you all are aware of the video at this point. It is essentially what I assume to be a Texan father who has just read a Facebook rant by his spoiled daughter that she blocked her parents from seeing in hopes that they never will. Well, when her dad was uploading software onto her laptop, guess what he saw. So, what is a irate father to do? Why get a camera, record him reading the post, tell her what will be happening as punishment for this rant, and then shooting her laptop with a .45....

I'm a bit mixed here on the good parenting bit. The daughter definitely needed to be punished for what she said and whined about in her letter and the dad makes clear that he's tried grounding her for months and that doesn't seem to work. The daughter is mostly complaining about the chores she has to do around the house and they actually are rather small chores that probably will only take 15 minutes to complete. But to shoot her laptop seems....no it is a bit much. He could have sold the laptop parts, taken out the hardrive and shot it, but the whole thing....

It seemed like these issues happen often from the dad's perspective and it always revolves around the laptop. I think the best thing would have been to wipe the hardrive clean and sell for a kid going to college or something. Shooting it is just a waste of bullets and whatever money you spent on it and whatever money you could have gotten off of it.

Sorry everyone, but I'm extremely busy doing my Capstone project in which I am translating "The Girl who Leapt Through Time". I know many of you are aware of the anime adaptation that is actually a side story of the original novel (which is what I'm doing). I need to get as much done with this as it is due sometime in March and we are already in the middle of February. There are other courses and of course, my job, that is going on. But this Capstone is one I want to get done as soon as possible. I do plan on something special for Valentine's day, but I don't want to make any promises that it will happen. I also work Valentines Day (and my conception day) with the next day being Mom and Dad's 26th anniversary....Ohhh, I'll try. I'm making a list right now!!!
