WARNING! WARNING!

1. IF YOU ARE READING THIS ON A FRIENDS PAGE: This is a notice to alert you that this journal is being reactivated and retasked as an idea dump for myself. I suspect I will not be using much in the way of livejournal "cuts" as I spill forth paragraph upon paragraph about why I think that, say, I should be allowed to completely remake Snatcher. For example. If for some inexplicable reason I am still on your friends list, now would probably be a good time to take me off, unless you equate the size of your friends page to your sexual prowess. I am waiting roughly 36 hours from the posting of this message to begin my use of this journal as a well of the incoherently inane.

2. IF YOU ARE READING THIS JOURNAL FOR THE FIRST TIME: Be warned that below this point, you will that many entries are of a disturbing, even disgusting nature. I've attempted to excommunicate some of the more objectionable pieces, but I can't be held responsible for any trauma suffered from reading those things which lie deep within the darkness.

holy shit.

So not only is Bobobo-bo-bo-bobo abso-fucking-lutely awesome manga, it's also an anime, a PS2 game, and several insane GBA games.

Hot. Fucking. Damn.

There's also an Oni Zero, but since that series can't be enjoyed in English, you probably don't care.

So anyway DOWNLOAD ALL THE BOBOBOBOBOBOBOBBOBO STUFF NOW.

Remember The Incredible Machine, that puzzle game from Dynamix?
Remember The Incredible Toons, the really wacky spinoff?
Remember Nazo Makai Mura: Incredible Toons, the Incredible Machine spinoff that featured Ghouls'n'Ghosts characters?

I doubt you do, since it never fucking came out in the US. But in Japan? PSX and Saturn releases! Everybody party!

IN STILL OTHER NEWS.....

There was a remake of the Kendo Rage fighting game for SNES and no one told me.

In other "where have you been all my life" news, Nage Libre on PSX. If it's anything like the first game, that means schoolgirl SRPG goodness.

Along the same lines, Paro Wars. You can't say that doesn't stir up unnatural desires in you.

And now a few from the "wtf wtf wtf" category:

There should be a Zombie Powder fighting game.

Seriously. It's perfect. It'd be like Guilty Gear, only Zombie Powder. You could be Falzon and summon his different sisters or use the different flame techs of Akutabi Gamma or smash people in the face with the Hell Train as Balmunk.

It would be fucking awesome

That is all.

Blargh.

I wish I could stop thinking about Deus Ex 3.

2003-12-02T01:40:06Z

Life has been beyond shitty lately, between finals I wasn't ready for and will likely lead to me failing all my classes, to parents upset over how irresponsible my aunt is, to bad health, to just everything that's usual for me.

It's obvious from the lack of desire to continue on explaining FTL that I'm not good at picking what ideas to post about (which was the point of this LJ in the first place), so I'll let all -1 readers out there pick and choose from this list what ideas they'd like to see me post long, ranting pages of crap about.

Anyway..

Bold games are one I feel might actually do well commercially if they were ever reproduced exactly as I envision them in my mind.

"Obscenely fanserviced" games...well....you know how how people use the phrase " is essentially a love letter to ", indicating it pays homage to ? Well, THESE games would stalk down and send them erotic poetry and watch them from across the street while touching themselves, or something. That is to say, they would be absolutely chock full of remixed music, cameos, continued plots, all the stuff the fans got sick of the first time around.

Since I imagine most people couldn't give two shits about hearing about any of that, here's the lyrics to the ending theme from Skullmonkeys:

Klogg is dead and we want to celebrate it
He's pushin' up daisies, former and belated
That guy asked why we're elated - well Klogg - is - dead!
Follow the bouncing skull!

Yes, Klogg's kaput! (no longer operating!)
Retired, expired! (quite an emancipation!)
Released, deceased! (gone bust, he's dust!)
Let's hitch up our shorts! (And do a pelvic thrust - uhn!)

KLOGG IS DEAD!

He was dirty and obscene, and not a little mean...
So we'll sing in one accord- now that he's gone to his reward!
Klogg is dead, he's history! (why we shake our booty's no mystery)
He's gone at last! (his time has passed!)
Now we can go back to passing gas!

*belch*
*belch*
*belch*
*burp*
*burp*
*fart*

Yeaaah, Klogg...is...deaaaaaaaaaad!

So in Prince of Persia: TSOT, I just killed a CPU controlled character, the woman without whom I cannot restore the Sands of Time (ie, she dies, I lose).....she cried out at my treachery, then collapsed, and in doing so, fell from the platform we were on, down to the rocks below, and then through them, into a magical noclip universe.

Really. She went through several interesting colors I was not supposed to see.

This really is the most polished game I've played in a long time. Chaos Legion is nice, Superstar Saga was great and nostalgic, but within the first five minutes of TSOT, I felt like I was playing through Half-life all over again - all the magic, all the challenge, all the mystery lying around each corner. This is a game so polished you could probably see your reflection if you stared hard enough at the computer screen. Well, I mean, since it's glass and all, you...ah, I'll shut up.

Suffice it to say, if you've got the cash and the ability, this game is worth a rental at the least - it's that fantastic, no matter what your action skills.

Nearly three hours after my thanksgiving dinner plate is ready, I get to eat it.

I love cats.

I love trees.

But why the hell is it that when you combine them, all you get is pain and scratches and pain and dirt and pain and cold food and PAIN?

at least POP: TSOT will be done in 38 minutes, at which time I can lovingly stare at the CD images and wish I had enough disk space to unpack them let alone install the game.

I feel sorry for my parents.

I can't even begin to guess how horrible it must feel to be faced with the constant reminder that, even though you gave 18 and a half years of love, care, help and attention to your only child, he still turned out to be a completely worthless shit.

But here's something fun for everyone! A quote from a Deus Ex "secrets" FAQ:

"Riot prods, batons and tranquillizers tarts are a lot more quite because they are not kill the enemy."

Wasn't that fun?

Anyway, as I'm sure you've probably guessed, I'm giving up on this whole Livejournal thing. As the saying simply goes - "Fuck it."

You know...

2003-11-18T20:03:46Z

...it was sure nice of Capcom to include an extra hard mode to appeal to true action gamers in Chaos Legion, but I wish they hadn't called it "Normal".

You know what, though?

Chaos Legion Tactics.

Seriously. Take the isometric spritesies of Tactics and Nippon Ichi games and make them over as characters and monsters and stuff from Chaos Legion. Turn all the stages into tilesets and all the "scenes" into seperate battles. Make special attacks into abilities and character combos, make the Legions controllable "minions", keep the nice music. Start out with the story of Chaos Legion, then an unlocked "Prelude" storyline to lead up to the main game, and then that unlocks a storyline that takes place after the main game. You can keep pretty much anything else.

Now there's a game I would buy.

Quick reminder

"Bitch! You don't own Canada!" *whack*

I am very depressed and I have a very large cat in my lap. Also, Sword of Mana has a quite laughable translation. I wish I could play DoD or NS but I do not have time. That is all for now.

UPDATE: The cat has left.

While playing an extremely awesome but abandoned CV clone, I got reminded of another tragedy of 'amatuer game design'.

I want you all....yes, every single one of you.....to go to the link below and at least download and play the "Spirit Master" demo. Please. Even if it's too late for the company, the memory should be kept alive.

I just realized something

2003-11-14T19:20:20Z

I just realized that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for PC will be out soon.

...

*tries to comfort his harddrive*

I'm sorry, baby...I'm so sorry...I promise...the pain will stop soon....I'm sorry....

rofl omg lmao

2003-11-13T22:19:40Z

once again, it's pray for Dais time, kids!

It was going to be this morning, but I forgot to say it, but oddly enough things out well anyway (!!), and I don't have to give the speech until Tuesday.

But dropping in almost unannounced on a rather ditzy english teacher to try and negotiate passing a writing class you haven't done in any work in yet, despite it being week 7 or so of a 12 week course?

Divine intervention is my only hope, although with my luck that would probably mean my tongue suddenly falls out and nobody expects me to be *able* to talk to the English teacher.

Holy crap!

Man, I guess the bishounen fans in the gaming industry are striking back at the breastage of Love Smash 5 or whatever.

I'm no furry, but I'd sell my soul (and those of some others) to have those kitty ears and whiskers that one guy has.... *dreamy*

AND YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH

2003-11-11T04:01:23Z

Used to be (four-five years ago) I could spit out Terranigma fanfiction at an absurd rate. Now I can hardly get even a word or two of actual good ideas (as opposed to the Terranigma stuff, which is insane shit you can find if you look for it) out.

I blame this on my increased awareness of media forms. I can't help thinking that "Hell To Pay" - my idea to a surprisingly dark and psychotic Megaman BN3 fanfic - would be so much better as a manga. But I can't even draw, and writing can come nowhere close to ideas I've visually imagined.

I mean, think about it. I can write ten pages worth of detail about how a bleeding, exhausted Lan pulls his father's gun on Wily, but that can't convey the powerful image I want to present - the appearance of a conventional firearm into the relatively utopian world of Battle Network - something clearly designed to be able to kill.

But in five or six panels, it would be child's play to emphasize the drawing and aiming of the gun, the shocked silence of the WWW members, Lan's cold and determined look. That flows into a two-page spread of one single second of time, with all eyes on Lan and Wily, their roles of threat and victim now reversed. Screw colors or shading or anything, if I could even draw a straight line I could show the scene in a way thousands of times better than writing it out.

Goddamn.

At least it's not quite as depressing and indicative of a twisted mind as when I thought about an equally (if not more so) dark and disturbing fanfic for FFTA, and by the time I even had coherent story structure I wanted to compose a soundtrack to accompany the reading. I can't even remember what musical note is what letter and stuff. Geez.

This has been a Dais Rant. If Good Things happen, expect this space to maybe be filled with Possibly Cool Game Ideas or Stuff About Games You'll Never Play, at least until the next Bad Thing happens.

If Bad Things happen, well......it's not like anyone will be able to tell anymore, right?

Oh, and if anyone has some free time (ha!)....

...could you scour some ROM sites and stuff and see if you can find a copy of the Shadowrun Sega CD/Mega CD files? I'm especially interested in the music tracks....
