A Ninja's Gaiden

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

(Don't expect me to write as a professional...and also, I'll probably update this at least once or twice a week.)

I have to say... it is REALLY hot where I am right now and I'm doing my best to stay cool, drink plentiful of water and etc.

I may be a little disappoint that I can't ever use my dad's PC on Mondays, Tuesdays and somehow Sundays but I don't really care too much since I'll just use my 3DS to browse the interwebz. (He already knows about it and doesn't mind.) Tonight or tomorrow...I'm gonna try to attempt to draw an anime character and hopefully, I'll like it the way I do it...the character I'll draw has yet to be determined but I know for sure it won't be Ayane (Although I may do a few sketches or some fanart on her in the future) or some my original characters. (Not for RPing)

Also, I kinda really hate how TV is now seeing as alot of shows nowadays are crap. I miss the old days where as a kid, you wake up early in the morning just to watch one of your favorite shows before you headed off to school.

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

Decided to play a few matches online in DoA: Dimensions...and boy, I don't think the people were kidding when I thought "They're too easy, I can take 'em down fast."

Anyhoo, after a few more attempts at trying to draw a character in anime-style, I have had no luck in getting what I thought I was going to get but my drawing skills however are starting to improve...maybe if I keep trying, I'll somehow get some satisfying results. (No, I won't do Starfox fanart, even if you asked me very nicely. xD)

Things are starting to cool down again (Thank god) and it appears I have a nephew who was born yestarday according to my mother...quite scary considering I have at least MANY nieces and nephews.

Also, I find this song from Maximo to be pretty epic although I shouldn't play it at night...

I'm not really sure whether to say my vacation was worth it...or not because once I arrived there, it was really chilly (I wonder my home doesn't get any cooler... ) and I haven't gotten to the beach because of a small but strong sandstorm which blew everywhere on the coast. I did however went around a few markets (after a few days of the small sandstorm incidence.) and tried some of their food (Most of them were Chinese, Italian and American.) there... and I loved it.

Also, I've been thinking about returning to write some fan-fiction although I will know it will probably be crap and I don't think I will resume on the Dead Starfox Rising saga...

[Vulvokunvrii]

Fan fiction sounds like a good idea.

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

All right...I'm going to get this over with, I'm gonna say it...

"I HATE Harry Potter!!" (Doesn't mean I'm a Twilightfag.)

It was just a nightmare waiting until midnight, everyone went choatic and got into a brawl outside the movie theater (Thankfully I was inside). The police kicked as many fans as about from 20-95 and they weren't happy with that.

I finally got to see "HP and the Deathly Hollows: Part 2" but...I never thought I'd said this but my head felt f*cked up as hell when the movie played, I thought I would end up as below:

I'm used to the noise in a normal movie theater but this theater I went to had a pretty big screen that measued probably 100ft and the movie I tell you was just as loud as a jet plane.

Overall of the movie: OK...now I know not everyone has to follow a book when it comes to adapting them to movies but this one flaw just me scratch my head, it was that (Don't read the spoiler unless you saw the movie):

Harry was supposed to die with Voldermort in the movie but he didn't.

Although I haven't read the Harry Potter books (Because let's be honest, I don't care for them), I really don't see why people should be hyped up about a movie that will probably be remade in the later years.

With Harry out of my mind, I should be feeling fine but I've learned something...never, EVER go to a midnight release.

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

Went to OMSI because from now til September, they had sorta a "Video Game History" exhibit that I was interested in.

I tried out the real arcade version of PONG and...well, I guess you can say I'm good. (That is if you know where the ball will go.)

They had many games out there including Uncharted 2, Jak and Daxter, Dead or Alive: Ultimate, Ridge Racer and Metroid Prime trilogy just to name a few...sadly however, no Starfox game was there or any Starfox references were around.

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

Had to get rid of my NES due to the massive amount of dust that was inside of it...although I only own a few games for it, (The rest...being on an you-know-what) it really upsetted me to see it no longer function. Oh well, old games and consoles never last long.

I'm thinking about doing a LP video but I can't decide what game to do, if anybody has any suggestions for me, post it here. (Not doing shitty games, that's for the AVGN.)

Games I'm most likely to do a LP of:

Portal 2

Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360 version)

Zelda: OoT

RE4

Fatal Frame 1, 2 or 3

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

I may be an old SF freak but I'm not sure I want to get SF643D since music-wise...it really disappointed me and I think getting ports in 3D on the 3DS just doesn't seem to work with me anymore.

I wonder why gaming these days just suck and in the 90s-2003, it was good...

It all depends on your position as an observer; Nintendo's been recycling series for decades now, though way back when, they were fresh and new things were exciting. Newer IPs, at least in the video game field, are quite risky as there aren't things to fall back on like in movies (i.e. DVD sales, foreign releases, etc).

Gaming as a whole seems dull and boring if you limit your perspective to sales of Call of Duty/every other big-budget action game, remakes, and re-releases, but it seems newer and exciting when you look at Insomniac's new IP, the return of Sly Cooper and Driver, new gameplay mechanics being introduced into Need For Speed, etc.

Wow, that was philosophical :lol:

To me, that's all I see nowadays is just remakes, re-releases and etc. It's always "Choose a franchise you know is a money-maker, remake it or get it a sequel and watch the public want more of it. *Repeat process* " or sometimes in a better way... "Choose a franchise that has been dead for a decade or so, get it a long-lost sequel...PROFIT." (Which I'll be certain, Capcom will NOT be following that direction.)

I can understand how you'd be excited for the new Sly Cooper as much as me (Despite not having a PS3 because they are exspensive) but...I kinda think the graphics on the game aren't as good as the PS2's graphics, but hey...won't know more about it till 2012 arrives. (More importantly, I'm glad most of the original actors will return for VO)

I'm not really hyped up for any games coming in the future other than Devil's Third and...MAYBE Ninja Gaiden 3 (Not sure how it will be without Tomonobu Itagaki...Tecmo is kinda going down without him.)

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

I feel like things around my family is a bit quiet since they don't really talk to me much or want my help...but I won't get upset, if that's how it is, so be it.

And one of these days...I'm going to try to properly rig a model from any game and convert it to Gmod although it will take alot of time and work.

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

Urg... it's so frustrating when you want to convert a model of a character from your favorite game and then all of a sudden a program decides to say "Ya know what? Screw you, I ain't opening for you!!"

DOA4, Y U NO EASY TO CONVERT?!?

[Tailsz]

...and then all of a sudden a program decides to say "Ya know what? Screw you, I ain't opening for you!!"

The many homework assignments I've done on my computer have done this...

Which obviously makes me go: "FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" *BOOOM!*

Gotta love it when it happens... xD

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

Man... I'm not sure what to say about my birthday today other than it was great and yet, scary at the same time (Because I'm getting a bit older...).

While I only received Tekken 6 for Xbox 360, there's more parties and presents and shit coming up in the next week or so.

[Guest Mr. Nintendo]

Next Wednesday, I'm going to register back to High School for my Junior year. I can't say if I'm going to be mad or happy about it...but I just hope one of my favorite classes from last year don't get cut from the school board this year since...they removed many classes I liked to attend and it made me upset to hear that some of them will never return.

[Guest Mr. N]

Starting Wednesday of this week, I will be back off at High-school. While I cannot guarantee that my activity here and the TF2 servers will be active, I'll try my best to show up or lurk around.

And...one of these days...just one of these days, I gotta get back to drawing! I haven't made a sketch or anything since May of 2010...hopefully, my quality of work won't be like Microsoft Paint-like. (And I hope I can choose a good character that I want to sketch that I have not known it's complete backstory or I haven't played the past games the character was in.)

[Guest Mr. N]

So I went through my first day of school today...I kinda don't know what to say about it other then it has heavily changed since the last time I went to High-School. Instead of the time for the first class being 8:45, they decided to cut back 10 minutes to make it 8:35 which at the same time, instead of leaving school at 3:20, anybody could leave at 3:10.

Not sure if anyone follows this kind of system but I always have a Day 1 and a Day 2 period which has different classes, each of them having 4 periods. The lunch system works depending on who you had for 3rd period. Sadly, on BOTH days...I got 3rd lunch which starts at 1:06 after my 3rd period classes. (It seriously sucks...I would've been sick if I didn't eat in a while...but it's good to eat early cause my teachers don't mind students bringing their food in as long as they don't make a mess.)

On Day 1s, I always get to leave at 1:06 due to me having an excused period which took effect on lunch time...I was happy I got a excused period.

On Day 2s, I don't get excused periods...but oh well, if I can somehow stay awake in my classes, I should be fine.

Tomorrow, I'll be having Japanese, Earth Science and some History...I certainly hope one of those classes won't be a flop.

[Guest Mr. N]

Some of my classes on Day 2s aren't so bad but Japanese can be mind-blowing if you don't remember the alphabet and how they're pronounced.

Also, my mind is having a conflict with itself whether in the future I should go to Japan or Sweden...nothing much I can say about both of them other than hopefully it will be worth the while and trip. I'll be deciding soon...

[Guest Mr. N]

More school days are kicking in...and it seems that just about everything that gets shown in Japanese class, (Whether it be videos, images, whatever) they always seem to impress me.

Like for instance, this music video:

(There is many other things out there but I can't think of anything at the moment)

[Guest Mr. N]

So I recently purchased Dead Rising 2: Off The Record...and I have to say, I pretty mixed feelings towards it and Crapcom. I like Frank alot but...I kinda don't like the idea of having him being the main hero or big guy in the game because I'm pretty sure he's got better things to do somewhere else than in a city where it's like Vegas, not mention that this game is 80% Dead Rising 2. (Haven't seen much improvements other than a new area in Fortune City, Sandbox mode and other shit)

40 bucks though is a reasonable price for this game although trust me, since Keiji Inafune (The Blue Bomber's creator) left Crapcom, you'll like DR2 more than this. Music kinda sucks too... maybe it's because they don't want lincesing issues?

Oh well, I guess the signs of Crapcom losing busneiss is coming soon... a good way to stop it? Make a damn Megaman game...and for once, don't cancel it.

[Guest Mr. N]

Old news is old: I'm a Brony.

After watching some episodes of MLP: FIM, I thought it would be nice of myself to make some kind of pony art (Although I can't say it'll be grade A) since they look pretty easy to draw and I have at least some plentiful of ideas to use for my art. I hope I can get enough time to do without conflicting anything else I need to do.

[Guest Mr. N]

I'm going to take a short break of writing in this topic since I have nothing really to share and...I don't think I will get that feeling in about maybe some weeks. As soon as I have something big to say, I'll write in this soon.
