WTF Moment!

Hey everyone. I’ve hardly been online but I am back now!

Okay, so I am working and decide to browse through some DVDs and I come across a movie by the name “Los Debutantes”. The movie itself I don’t really care about but what really concerns me is Maxim Magazine’s opinion of the film.

“Darker, sexier and more brutal than a panther in a push-up bra”

So let’s get this straight.  A panther is one of those animals you don’t want to encounter in your life and this film is more brutal and sexier than a Panther but wearing a push up bra?! Yes, that is what it says on the DVD front cover of this film. If I saw a Panther right now, I’d be shitting bricks but wearing a Bra, I’d be really concerned and scared. Maxim’s quotation of the film doesn’t make any fucking sense. Seriously, it helps if people were more constructive with their English!

It’s clearly the most retarded thing I have ever heard the media come out with, that quote takes the fucking medal!

SCEI are still screwing over their local multiplayers

A long time ago, I used to hate it when 360 used to discuss about achievements and how they would buy mediocre games just to get more points but now that the PLAYSTATION3 has trophies, I have now got suckered into this new trend of achievements/trophies and enjoy the reward of completing a certain requirement.

However, there is one tiny problem for the PS3 system which the Xbox 360 has no problem whatsoever. On the Xbox 360, you and your friends can get achievements together despite the number of Xbox Live users are logged in locally on one console. The PS3 however only allows one user to log in at once so if you happen to be on the trophy hunt with my friends, only one of them is going to be happy whilst everyone else is left with no rewards.

I complained about only one PSN username logging into the console when Warhawk was released in August 2007 and my brother who has a PSN account wanted to be ranked on stats but can only play on his own or as a guest account of the main PSN user for example rockmanjoey(2). This is quite a shame as Sony have worked hard to get the PlayStation Network where it is right now and one small thing hasn’t been addressed yet for the local players which is to able to log into the PSN with multiple accounts.

However, it could be quite complex to fix but I would like to see it happen. LittleBigPlanet has some idea what I want but the other local players still don’t get trophies nor they are signed in. So I ask SCEI, please sort this out! Please!

Once again, another PSN hit is delayed (In Europe)

A reoccurring story for the PlayStation Network users of Europe. Whilst Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is out today in America for the PSN, it won’t be coming to the PSN for Europe this week as a Capcom Rep has informed Edge that it has been delayed.

Sony Europe seriously need to get their ass in gear. They are defenetely losing ground in Europe to Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and I believe this is one of the reasons why. Super Street Fighter II HD Remix is out on Xbox Live tomorrow thanks to their certification system which involves submitting the game once for certification which represents the world whilst the PlayStation Network has it’s different certification process for every region which varies between different regions.

Sony Computer Entertainment have said that they are in the process of having a centralised certification process for all downloadable content much like Xbox Live. This is needed big time as the European Store is well known for getting negative feedback from it’s users due to the delays it sees and lack of content.

Well, in regards to HD Remix, I shall be okay as I am buying it tonight via my American PSN Account which has given me a huge smile on my face.

Fat Princess….now the media presents it’s stupidity again

This generation of gaming has been a major disappointment for me. Last generation, we were treated to many excellent titles such as Final Fantasy X, Grand Theft Auto 3, Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, Zelda: Wind Waker and many more. The PS3 started off as a weak console but gradually it has gained a good library of games such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and the upcoming LittleBigPlanet. Now a new PSN game called Fat Princess is now heading for PS3 later this year.

Whilst it has a great concept for game play, people have found the game to be controversial with the Daily Mirror reporting that a ”firm” wants the game altered or canned altogether. They claim that the game is “fat bashing” and could lead to intolerance in young players and bullying. Feminist Melissa McEwan wrote sarcastically to Sony: “I can’t figure out why anyone would want to rescue a fat princess in the first place”.

I’d like to add that there is already a problem with that in the first place. Even if this game came out or not, there always has been an intolerance in young players and bullying. Stupid teenagers on Xbox Live who play Halo is a good example and there is bullying present in most schools varying from obesity, discrimination, offending others and such. That is all thanks to many things such as influences from TV, Films, Parents and friends, not just games. Thanks to the Daily Mirror, the so called firm and Melissa McEwan, I begin a rant so read carefully.

Fuck the U.K media, they are the main reason people live in fear half the fucking time. The way they present news makes people so scared into believing it. I don’t watch the news anymore. The Daily Mirror is dog shit like most of the newspapers in the U.K. They are the same cunts who got told by Joe Kinnear a few days ago in an epic 52 swear word rant. Good for him, the fuckers got told after making accusations which were false and they got a bollocking. Russell Howard of Mock the Week fame [great comedian] pretty much said it perfectly in a sketch about the media making Britain a worse place to live. Most people would see that as funny. I did too but I also realized that it is a terrifying fact.

The Sun - even the 3rd Page isn't a justifcation of your 20p

How about this “firm” fucks off. Everything has gotten so outta hand now it’s stupid. I think Fat Princess has a good concept of game play which can potentially make it one of the most addictive games on PSN. Seriously, who’s gonna shove cake down females throats now!? Kids probably as most of them now are so fucking stupid. I’ve seen many teenagers now and I think they are fucking idiots. Christ. Many people are blaming video games for many things but its down to other criteria such as TV, MEDIA, parents and much more but people are so fucking blind and think oooo this is the main reason.

Kids are put under so much pressure thanks to the fucking celebrities and models who don’t set a fucking example and have such slim figures. They don’t think properly and then get eating disorders because they want to look like a twat called Victoria Beckham….jezz I fucking hate the media so much, makes me sick. This country used to be good until I started to realize what was going on.

In the U.K, the fucking teenagers really piss me off and are disrespectful. The amount of shit they do I wouldn’t have got away with when I was their age, my dad would kick my ass to get the message across.

Don’t give me this bullshit. Fuck off. Seriously, get the fuck outta here! There is fucking worse games out in the market…..

As for feminist Melissa McEwan, It’s called creativity you fucking idiot. Most games now are shitty HD shooters which seem to sell a shit load thanks to marketing and realistic graphics. It’s unique and probably one of the most interesting games I have seen in a while. Kane and Lynch is a good example, it sold but its average at best.

This generation of gaming has been mediocre. The Wii? What, everyone decides to wank over it because its motion controls?! Big fucking deal. Most people bought the Wii for the sheer pleasure that they can say “I got drunk whilst playing Wii Sports!” and then deciding to litter Facebook with photos from the fucking awesome night and just to let you know on their status…the console now is mostly littered with shit party games!

Great...another half assed Wii Sports / Mario Party game *sigh*

PS3? Well it’s been crap at first, and the games have started to appear thank fucking god for that. They release a crappy controller called SIXAXIS which is lighter than most mobile phones (cellphones for the U.S) and take out a feature everyone bums… Well at least it’s doing the right approach and making the online gaming free like PC gaming which is a good start.

The Xbox 360? Well that is a true piece of shit from Microsoft. Who releases hardware that breaks so easily? They do! After losing 5 Billion Dollars on the original Xbox, they decide to use cheap parts and lie to the consumer about the RRoD, smart moves dickheads. They still charge for online gaming which is a fucking joke and the games are good but ain’t that fucking great! Well it’s best to say Microsoft followed in the same footsteps by releasing Windows Vista which is the true essence of shit. You buy a laptop with 1GB of RAM and your fucked! Got a dual core processor with that too, well you have Vista so your gonna take a trip into the past and experience a Pentium 4 struggling to execute processes.

A high defective rate...fucking disgraceful

They also charge a stupid amount of money for a HDD? What the extra cash is invested on some shitty plastic that’s friendly for the average user? Give me a break! How pathetic! Well done, have a fucking toast to that….have a toast for dumming down people, you’ve joined the club. The U.K Government did a fantastic job of doing that to the Education system. I met a guy at University last year and he goes and tears me apart on the knowledge he knows and he tells me he learnt it at school! I felt like an absolute dumbass!

In regards to the Fat Princess game, the only thing Sony will do is add some kinda disclaimer regarding obesity before the start of the game like in Jet Set Radio did for the Graffiti but the point is, the media can suck my balls. Piss off, you waste time, money and trees by printing crappy articles every day of the week?! Get lost, you suck.

End rant. Now for some sleep. Good day to you

Nintendo DSi to be region locked!

One of the magical things about Nintendo’s handhelds is that they have always been region free until now. The latest Nintendo DS revision called DSi has been confirmed to be region locked by Nintendo who spoke to Future Publishing. The DSi will be region locked on specific DSi Software which includes download games and Cartridge Based DSi games.

To me, the DSi doesn’t sound that much of a decent upgrade but more towards alienating to the other DS revisions which isn’t good. The removal of the Game Boy Advance slot is the biggest negative for me because it isn’t just removing itself with the Game Boy Series which is a great legacy of handheld gaming but games like Guitar Hero: On Tour and some of the peripherals for the DS lite and original won’t be compatible. Nintendo announced that you can download software to the DSi which again sounds good but only DSi owners can experience it which is a terrible move as it completely seperates it from the compatibility of the DS lite which won’t be able to experience this whatsoever.

The Nintendo DS lite was the perfect revision that the Nintendo DS needed in the first place. The original looked very ugly and was awkard to use. It was a bit big and the buttons were very crappy but the DS Lite gave it the competitive appearance and revisions needed provided with the excellent games to compete against the PSP. The DSi hasn’t got me interested whatsoever unless it was region free.

The one trait of the PS3 despite it losing PS2 compatibility is that you can play software from any region despite if it’s a download game or Blu Ray! It has seriously put me off the DSi as I love playing imported games as it is a good way to experience games which will likely not come out outside Japan.

The SD card slot which it supports won’t allow you to play MP3s which is also another negative. Fair enough it’s storage is cheap but I just don’t like the direction Nintendo is heading with the new DS. It’s a kick in the nuts for DS Lite owners but not so much for those who have a Nintendo DS or are about to purchase one.

However, it does have a better camera than a certain device called the iPhone. Overall, I find this revision of the DS to be mediocre. The exclusive features are game related and it is the main blow for me. With the PSP, at least most of it’s exclusive new revisions were to do with features outside gaming unlike the DSi. Sorry Nintendo, I am not going to invest in this handheld

The Dilemma of 0845 Numbers and stupidity!

So I am finally at University! Moved out of home and I am miles away which is a great thing, Its going well. I thought things would be okay but I sadly run into problems already. The Internet is pretty mediocre at the minute, its 2MB, no download limits, has Bittorrent and P2P. So you wonder what the problem is, well the problem is it only allows ONE MAC ADDRESS in Student Rooms!

If your doing a Computer Games Technology Degree at University (like myself), your bound to be a gamer and you will have several other devices *insert PS3 here* that require Internet access! Well the clever clogs at Asshole4 (Ask4 if you don’t wish to redub them as cunts) require £30 to allow another MAC Address onto the Network. £30 for a year for just one MAC Address! They also don’t allow routers to make your life even worse so I am trapped with the Desktop being the only thing being able to access the magical world wide web. If you ain’t the brainless idiot, then you would realise that you can BUY a router (wireless or wired) for around the same price!! Well if you fancy breaking the rules which I frankly don’t give two shits because I have six devices that connect to the Internet.

• PLAYSTATION3
• PlayStation 2
• Nintendo DS Lite
• PlayStation Portable
• Desktop PC
• Laptop

I then pursued to getting my router and I found a router for £35.98! Wireless and supposedly very good according to my tech friend. So there I was, enjoying the fact I could finally get my PS3 online in no time! Quick Delivery! No fuss! However, I sadly discovered UPS (Unified Pricks of courier Service) were the lovely company who I paid £4.99 to deliver my goods! Panicked I did, I was worried that they would come to my student residence and fail to give me the goods. That came to be a reality yesterday, I was at my Uni induction being welcomed into the Student Life.

Being a Student I have realised I am fucking poor and I am also challenging every money thrived student in the city. I decided to call UPS, realising that the following 0845 number would tear me a new asshole or should I say my budget as I would come to terms with discussing customer enquiries with retards. Yes, I don’t know where they came from but somehow and someplace! Customer Helplines will employ idiots!

I gave specific instructions to UPS to deliver to my residence AFTER 3PM as I was at a Job Fair now being a poor student who would succumb to eating crappy food for the majority of the week whilst I would patiently wait for the glorious Sunday Roast my fellow flatmates and I would enjoy a lovely dinner that would patch the sweet, beautiful cooking of my mother which I sadly miss. Any who, I gave details to them and said they could do that. I then find out coming back from the Job Fair that UPS went to my halls to deliver it again……FOUR HOURS EARLY THAN I STATED!?

What is the fucking deal with that!? I clearly stated that I would be available 3PM, that’s 1500 HOURS!! NOT 1100!! WHO THE FUCK AM I TALKING TO! AN IDIOT THAT’S WHO!! I then find out the dumb idiots who are in charge of the accommodation (security that is) they told the UPS Driver that I don’t live there!! I’VE BEEN THERE FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEY TELL THE DRIVER I DON’T EXIST!! The world just seems to have idiots running these organizations and they still pursue on fucking things up! I wouldn’t put down an address for a £40 item (remember kids, £40 is valuable when your a student at Uni.) which is fake!! Only a truly acclaimed idiot of the arts of stupidity would do such a thing!

I had a similar problem with the SLC (Student Loans Company or Silly Little Cunts) who also have an 0845 number. I ask for a specific instruction, I needed my Payment Schedule Letter, you know the letter that has a messiah tune playing in your head when you see because that’s the only way you get your loan money delivered to me. I contacted them last month, guess what, they fucked up. They gave me the wrong document…..twats. I then call them again! Payment Schedule Letter is all I need, I told them they messed up and this time they got it right, I now should have £1300+ in my Bank Account tomorrow…hoo-fucking-ray. Someone at least learns their lessons….jackasses.

The point is, you should never think everything is going to be alright because the world has a whole library of idiots who can’t do simple tasks properly which causes events or pipedreams to crash! Due to this stupidity, the damage and inconvenience it causes people can be catastrophic. Simple things like losing money, wasting time, life threatening and so on but the bottom line is, you’ll guarantee you’ll piss someone off!

So remember, when you do something! Planning is the fucking key, if not, your in trouble buddy!!

Facebook

So Facebook has a new look? I think its okay and whatever people think of it, it’s going to stay so I say tough shit to the rest of you! It is staying there so stop being an ass, quit the moaning and don’t join a group in protest. Thats my problem with Facebook, people spend too much time on it and it doesn’t get you anywhere whatsoever. The platoon of friends on my Facebook account who have joined groups demostrating their hate for the new Facebook is horrific!

Lovely look, wish I bought a Mac *sad face*

Everything was completely okay with Facebook until they gave the green light for applications. There was a point in time where I got bombarded with requests to become a vampire, slayer, zombie, wolf, jackass, etc.Seriously if I want my online gaming fix, I have a PC and PS3 which have excellent games so I don’t some sad ass crap fest which has no creativity whatsoever consuming my time. Seriously! DO YOU LIKE HAVING CRAP ALL OVER YOUR PAGE? BEING COVERED WITH SHITTY APPLICATIONS?! REALLY, THEN FUCK OFF TO MYSPACE OR HI5! I am here to keep in contact with friends, that is all!

The worst bit is, Facebook don’t check the developer’s source code! You ask why that’s bad? I’ll tell you because most dumb asses won’t be aware that sneaky shits will steal all your details including all of your friends details too. If your the definitive wally who’s literally put every single detail on their profile, wave goodbye your identity because fraudsters love idiots like you! The clever people at MySpace thankfully check the developer code manually so people can’t steal your information!

There is something I will give Facebook though and that is I only get Friend Requests from people who I’ve met or know unlike MySpace. Now I ain’t hating Facebook as I use it often for its sole main purpose and that is to keep in contact with old and new friends I’ve known all my life, it does the job so that makes me happy!

This was a random rant…..
