You don't win the battle by doing what's right

Just finished Spider-Man: Edge of Time!

( In short... )

And SPEAKING of Spidey, I finally got around to watching some episodes of the new Spider-Man cartoon on Disney, Ultimate Spider-Man.

...

......

...Well... it's not... bad, but... it... definitely needs some work. Like, a ton of work. 8|

It doesn't help that the last Spidey show I watched was Spectacular Spider-Man, which was easily the best Marvel cartoon (if not THE best cartoon, period) that I've ever seen -- so living up to its reputation would be difficult for any show, but Disney... well. It dropped the ball on this one.

( WHY, DISNEY. WHY. )

And thus, the recent announcement of a new Avengers cartoon, also by Disney -- which will undoubtedly result in the cancellation of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the second best Marvel cartoon ever -- has broken what bit of my heart that the loss of Spectacular Spidey didn't. 8'((( I DON'T EVEN WATCH THAT MUCH TV, DISNEY, SO WHY MUST YOU TAKE AWAY THE FEW THINGS THAT I ENJOY?? >|

On a separate note, I just started my free trial at Gamefly. First up, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, finally. I'm half-considering renting Operation Raccoon City again towards the end of the trial, just so I can get some more achievements and at least see all the cutscenes (since they are pretty, even if Nicholai and Jill and Carlos look rather... eh.), buuuut idk yet. I got so frustrated with that game at times that I'm not sure it's worth it when I could rent something new instead; not to mention I'm irked that I keep seeing more and more DLC for it, making it come off as One Of Those Games that purposely puts very little content in the actual game just to force players to buy more of it.

IDK, but aside from AC, I'm hoping to get my hands on Fatal Frame (ffff WISH ME LUCK GUYS IT WILL PROBABLY GIVE ME NIGHTMARES WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF) and Portal 2. Uhhhh what else... probably some multiplayer games for me and my sisters to co-op, maybe Mario Tennis Open, and OH some dance games for the Wii, since my self-esteem knows no injury and I am totally cool with dancing around like an idiot. Maybe I'll finally give Mass Effect a try, even.

I've seen some bad Microsoft Word fail in my time, but this is one of the most retarded. Of course, my computer system is approaching ancient, so maybe the newer editions of Word have fixed the grammar/spelling "correction" fail.

( RE: Revelations spoilers within )

Speaking of fail, I picked up the S.D. Perry Nemesis novel at the library just for giggles; and I totally wtf'd at Jill purposely wearing her RE3 clothes because they were "easier to move in." Excusemewhat -- there is nothing free or easy about running around and fighting in a tube top and/or skirt, of all things. Even her boots were dressy/heeled ones, not military style. ORZ.

I'd understand if a man made this mistake, but come on, Perry! Get your crap together. :|

So while the book started out as snicker-worthy, by the time I got to the end where Nicholai was actually about to rape Jill, I'd gone from patronizing chuckles to



because... what. APPARENTLY HAVING ONE CANON RAPIST ISN'T ENOUGH, SO PERRY FINDS IT NECESSARY TO ADD MORE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE? wth. 8|a

OVERALL... yeah, did not like. No gold stars for you, Perry.

AW YEAH saw Captain America the other day, so you know what that means.

RANTY REVIEW TIEM

( Spoilerrrs + an irrelevant rant )

ALSO, I am working on those meme requests; I've just been sidetracked with reading The Dresden Files, and when I'm not doing that, I've taken up playing Phoenix Wright and OH MY GOD I have wanted to punch few characters in the face as vehemently as I wanted to punch Edgeworth YOU CONDESCENDING LITTLE SNAKE. >| AUGH. It does not help that I tend to take everything in life personally.

Anyway, yes, I'm working on the requests, but I've also set myself back with the crippling fact that my definition of "snippet" can apparently mean 1200+ words. B|;;; I don't even.

I really, REALLY hate when people give you "advice" on Mercenaries in RE5. B| I was playing last night with some guy and we got a really good score -- 506K or so -- and he PMs me afterward going "Good work, but to get REALLY good scores, you need lots of extra time. Use a melee to get +5 seconds."

......Uh.

UH.

YOU SERIOUSLY THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT MELEE-ING GIVES YOU 5 EXTRA SECONDS? I HAVE HAD THIS GAME SINCE ITS RELEASE. And pfffffff please, I was melee-ing ALL. THE TIME. IN THAT MATCH, STFU I LOVE MELEE ATTACKS. I'M SORRY IF WESKER'S GUN SHOOTS OFF HEADS JUST AS OFTEN AS IT MAKES THEM STUMBLE SO I CAN DO A COBRA STRIKE.

Plus, we got a 150 combo. That is a two man job. You didn't do that by yourself, so I'm obviously competent.

Augh. This is the second or third time someone's done that. It's not that I'm so full of myself -- I know I'm not the best player out there. But that just strikes me as arrogant as heck to go around dishing out ADVICE like that.

And the icing? He had an icon from Afterlife.

A fan of the movies was trying to tell me how to play the game.

B| Douche.

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS: Spokeo.com. Officially the creepiest site ever. :| It uses Google Earth and pretty much any and every source of public information to gather info on anyone and everyone; you can search by a person's name and state and pretty much come up with everything about them -- job, income, house, a friggin' picture of said house, family members, phone number, etc. :|;;; Creeeeeepy. You can go in and take yourself out of the system, which my mom did for all of us, so if you'd like to do the same, go check it out. Again, very creepy.

Secondly: ZOMG BARRY WAS CONFIRMED FOR MERCS 3D. \o/ THE S.T.A.R.S. FAMILY IS OFFICIALLY ALL HERE the important ones, anyway AND THIS IS NOW THE BEST ROSTER EVER, consisting thus far of Chris, Claire, Jill, Wesker, Krauser, HUNK, Rebecca, and Barry, for those not keeping up. If they add anyone else, it's just icing on the cake. I am so, so happy with this lineup. ♥ And come oooon, Capcom. After all the goofy fanservice you gave us in Mercs Reunion, there MUST BE A THROWBACK LINE BETWEEN BARRY AND JILL, FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE. PLEAAAAAASE. EVEN JUST A FLEETING MENTION OF A SANDWICH WOULD KILL ME DEAD.

But oh, Goooood, the Garrador's back. ._______.;;; As if good old Dr. Salvador wasn't enough of a heart attack. Lovely. I'll just hide out on roofs and play sniper in the RE4 village, then. And never without a partner. :|

Can't. Freakin'. Wait.

Bayonetta continues to kill me with its terribly lame and try-too-hard action scenes. But I'm laughing, at least. AND I C U, YURI LOWENTHAL <3333 I'm still loving all the Capcom references and FFFFFF the Resident Evil/Devil May Cry/Viewtiful Joe/Okami all-in-one throwback was hilarious. X'DD VERY CLEVER, GUYS.

Watched the Iron Man movies for the first time. Yeah, it took me that long. I am fail. I ONLY GOT INTO IRON MAN ABOUT A YEAR AGO, OKAY, IF EVEN THAT LONG THAT ASIDE, I loved them. The fight scenes were delightful, and they didn't rely solely on CGI for everything; it was a good blend of that and actual costumes and such, so yes. Very awesome. I haven't gotten around to seeing Thor yet, but I waaaaaant. o/

I've slipped into Summer Reading Mode, courtesy of my local library, so I'll probably do a book tally on here at the end of the summer and list everything I read.

( Day 11 - Gaming system of choice. )

FOR THE LOVE OF--

Augh.

Auuuuuuuuugh.

I at least hope that, if it is a continuation of Crapterlife, Jill gets to kick Alice's ass around before BEING INEVITABLY SAVED BY HER MAJESTY!!oneoneleventy

Pffffff, 2012? Stop acting like you need that much time to throw your shit together, Anderson.

its_game_time: Btwww, while Chris is screwing around with his amnesia, I'll just say that Jill just touched one of Solidus Snake's tentacles. 8>
its_game_time: I'll let him interpret that as he will.
its_game_time: Because I'm horrible.
starwolf333: Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
its_game_time: |D
starwolf333: Chris is unamused.
its_game_time: I don't care. I'm amused.
its_game_time: <3
starwolf333: Hehe
its_game_time: I only hurt the ones I love, you know. It's only natural of a writer.


...And for the record, it was a FIGHT scene, I swear.
