    Once, I broke a window. I was angry for reasons I don't even remember, and just punched it and broke it. Luckily, none of the glass got into my hand or split me in half.   But learn from my example, kids. Violence is never the answer. If you're angry, try to let that anger out in a controlled way that doesn't hurt yourself or those around you. If you can't ...

  • Well it's a good thing that our community can be more serious and flag useless crap like this, as well as moderators that do their job. Hopefully, this will give us a better idea of what "youtube spam" is and will help cut down that spam quicker. Just too bad it's not going to stop, but hopefully this is a wake up call.

I'd probably have to say The Conduit. This game really had potential, but to me it was just terrible. Sure, it could do some nice things with the engine, but I thought it still looked bad. The story was crappy in that it was probably already used before. And the multiplayer really wasn't as good as it could of been to me.
 
Actually, maybe it's not that it was the worst game I've played this year, but the fact that it disappointed me the most.

In case nobody knew, yes, I've been excited about the release of DJ Hero. It's revolutionary in my book, and FreeStyleGames deserves a lot of credit for the work done on this. Yes, it's expensive. But I'm still going to get it. $120. Should be worth it.
 
But some of that excitement went away when I talked to a real DJ. And a very good DJ at that. I can't remember his name; he was just my friend's friend. Anyways, he started talking about DJ Hero. I told him I was excited about it, and he said it looks sweet. But he's not going to get it. He later showed me some of his equipment and explained why.
 
His main reason was the songs. They weren't all that creative, from what he saw of it. Like on the commercial, with Eminem and Jay-Z. He said he didn't find the song all that good. He even showed me that any Hip Hop, Rap, or both genres mixed together was fairly easy to mix. Then he went on to show me a more complicated mix, dance and hip hop. It was pretty catchy, better than what we heard on the commercial.
 
His next reason wasn't so relevant, but was nevertheless good. His full time hobby is DJing. He has over 80,000 songs and broadcasts 24/7, with mixes over 29 hours long. Pretty impressive, his career.

To be fair though, he did add that it would be fun for anybody who would want to DJ. But he also said he'd rather wait for the next one. So would I.
 
Then again, maybe I should still have hope that I will enjoy it when I purchase it. But then again, maybe it'd be funner to DJ for real. There's some food for thought.
 
Your thoughts?

Just as the thing says, if a game was really good, I would buy it. Why? Because it's good.

You know, I was just playing Battlefield Heroes a moment ago. And I realized just how rude people can be these days. Now I'm not person to ruin the fun of playing around, but some people just take things way too far. They aren't messing around. They are intentionally intimidating you. And for what? Their amusement? It's real bullshit, and even though he eventually shut his damn mouth and left, I still have a problem with people like that. They are just bitching bitches that do nothing but bitch, and it really pisses me off. This blog post isn't just me whining to you, but it's... ok, you decide what it is. OTHER than whining. Please. Seriously.

So I was just playing Battlefield Heroes like I normally do. It was a few of my National friends playing around. All of a sudden, a Royal shows up. Which wasn't a problem, but he started causing problems. He kills me, so I leave for a minute to get some stuff to play serious. And then I start killing him a bunch, and he starts whining. He's saying how it's not fair because I was stealthed (I was playing as a Commando, as usual). So I politely explained how he could of prevented his death. And I killed him again. And twice more. Now, I didn't say anything annoying or offending that would've made him mad, but he starts going off. He calls me a noob, even though he's the noob getting killed over and over again. And then starts talking about how I can't run a clan (because I recently started, and ended one). And he says I don't have a life because I couldn't run it. I tell him that I have more important things in life than video games and running a clan, but he just won't stop bitching. Eventually, I tell him off and he leaves, but he just didn't seem to get it.

And this is one of many times I've come across people like this, both online and offline. People like this just really annoy me. They bitch at you and try to degrade you, and all just to make you feel bad. Or in this case, make them feel better about themselves. While I certainly don't mind joking around, stuff like this just goes too far. It's inentional, it's offensive, and it's just crap. Crap that I get tired of every day. Just go to my school for a day, and see everybody trying to pick on the nerds and people who can't defend themselves, intentionally. No mercy. (Which is not me, by the way.) It's very far that we've come this far and are like this. Once again, joking around is ok and fine with me, but when you intentionally try to degrade someone like that, it's not funny, and it's bullshit.

I don't know why people do this. Why do they want to pick on people? What do they gain from it? In the end, they gain nothing, but someone could lose everything. I've just gotten tired of it, and I wanted to get it off my back and share it with some people. It might not change, but it needs to stop to some point. That's what I think.

Write Anything, Solve Everything (DS)
Scribblenauts is a great, innovative title that will offer tons of fun gameplay, if the controls don't get in your way. There aren't many games with an idea such as this. It's so simple, yet so much fun, and the only limits are those of your imagination. Write Anything, Solve Everything. ...
