Subject:Happy Birthday to Me!
Time:9:08 am.
Mood: happy.
Among the many default birthday wishes from forums and communities which I belong
to online this year, I got one from the guy who makes the free Poser Lego people.

FWHS Designs

They wished me a happy birthday and then turned around and gave me a free outfit for
Victoria 4. How cool is that?! :o)

I know, you're probably thinking, 'So what?'

So what?! So Everything!!

No other online community gave me anything on my birthday before. Here, check out
the other Birthday Wishes that I have gotten today...

same default birthday greeting, but FWHS Designs actually gave me something for my
birthday. Thanks! :o)

Subject:Saddle Up, Amigos!
Time:10:45 am.
(I made this review of GUN for the gamestop site, but i'm not sure if it's going to actually Send...)

WARNING: May Contain Spoilers

There's little that can be said about this game which would do it any justice. Simply put, GUN is one of the best open-ended quest games I've ever played on the PS2.

Tumbleweeds roll by as you travel through desert canyons. Dust blows across as your character makes his way into town. And solar flares pass as you tilt the camera up into the sky in order to try and spot attackers or veins of gold in the high rocks. Sure, you've probably seen most of these in a hundred other games (well, except for the tumbleweeds), but they all come together perfectly in GUN.

I think the most impressive aspect of the game to me was the motion capture animation used for the riders and horses. You don't just hop onto a horse, turn it stiffly around and then proceed at one speed in the direction you're facing. Your horse can rear up on it's hind legs like the Lone Ranger and Silver, skid around corners or slide to complete stops (or even spin it around about 360 degrees while sliding on it's butt), trample bad guys, good guys, coyotes, plow through buffalo, cattle, other horses, jump cliffs, climb embankments, turn left, right, back up... and it all looks perfect! You can spur your horse to higher speeds for a short time, or continually spur it to keep the speed increase going. However, doing so can exhaust the poor thing until it finally just collapses and dies. The Pony Express missions in the game are a good way to kill your horse if you don't stop and grab a fresh one along the way.

There are side missions which you can accomplish to help add to your character's stats. Helping a local Rancher with his cattle (such as herding them back to the barn, cutting select calves from the herd, protecting the herd from rustlers and wolves) were some of my favorite missions. You can also hunt troublesome or spirit animals for the Indians such as the Great White Buffalo, but these must be accomplished with bow and arrows. You don't get credit for blowing them away with a rifle. Luckily, you don't have the weapon restriction when they send you after the man-eating, killer grizzly bear.

*tried doing the grizzly bear hunt with the bow and arrow, but after her horse got slaughtered by it and she found herself on foot, immediately swapped weapons to the big bore rifle and filled it full of lead while backing away as quickly as the game would let her*

... which wasn't nearly as fast as I'd hoped. :o)

But, just so long as it dies, the Indians are happy.

There are also side missions that allow you to go Bounty Hunting (you can bring them back alive if you can grab them and knock them out which grants more money upon completion rather than just killing them). There are also missions where you HAVE to bring the criminal back alive, or you don't get paid. There's even one which has you kill 1 bandit brother and bring the other back alive.

Here's a hint: ride after them, kill the brother who's supposed to die, then shoot the horse out from under the other one. I think I hopped off after that, shot him in the leg, grabbed him then knocked him out.

The Pony Express missions all have countdown timers which you must beat in order to complete the deliveries... so check the map before you go. Taking just one wrong turn will screw you up.

Luckily, it lets you retry each time you mux up a mission. If it's one with multiple parts, it will start you over at the end of the last section which you completed correctly.

There are also Sheriff missions in one town and Federal Marshal missions in the other. They may range from quelling a bar room brawl to escorting someone to jail or the bank.

If you're still not convinced that this is a great game, listen up...

You can SCALP folks!

Yee-haw!

Either those you've shot (as long as they weren't head-shots or dismembering wounds) or those whom others have gunned down, if you can get to them quickly enough, you can scalp 'em! I remember one of them screaming, "HEY, THAT HURTS! AAAGH!"

It's the little details like this which create gaming moments which we will always cherish.


There were a couple of problems/glitches which I encounted while playing, though.

If you're riding your horse too hard (continually spurring it) and don't slow up a little between some of the maps while they're loading, it could lock the game up for a moment while you're staring at the missing section ahead of you. I'm not sure if this is true for all PS2 machines or all copies of GUN, though; it may just have been a problem with my machine or the used copy of GUN which I played.

I couldn't get the game to load up on my older fat PS2 system, although my newer slim PS2 ran it pretty well (except for a few points with the Activision logo and the opening movie stutterering while playing).

After defeating the final villain, the game settings switched the sound volumes on me. Music was high, other sounds were low. I had to go back into Options and reset them.

It would be nice if the game continued giving you little side missions after you complete it (and have done all of the side missions which you unlocked along the way), sort of like the crimes which occur in Spider-Man 2 where you run from one panicked citizen to another, or not if you're bored of doing that.

There don't appear to be any cheats for the game (so no god-modes and unlimited ammo, you greenhorn sissies!) It's you or them! You ain't wadin' through like Ash on this one partner, unless you have the skills to back it up!

Kudos to Neversoft and Activision for the work on GUN and please, please make more games like this. The game engine you folks used ROCKS!!

Which Comic Character Am I?
Hobbes

Take What comic character are you?

The quiz was okay, but it's one of those that thinks that you need to fill out
everything at the end of it for their stupid scams and things (you know, pay
$9.99 a month for some crap service you don't want or magazine you'll
never read). I decided to just shut out the window and check my email to
see if the would send the quiz result. It did, but will probably start trying to
charge me for things I don't want. :o)

It sent some "thanks for joining boredquiz.com" message, then sent the result with Hobbes on it.

Subject:What's a little B.S.?
Time:5:25 pm.
My aunt sent me a t-shirt image today which had Barak Obama and Osama Bin Laden on it.. both in turbans, with the statement:

The difference between
Obama and
Osama
is a little BS.

*thought that was a rather poignant observation on someone else's part...*

Subject:I can be president!
Time:5:21 pm.
Barak Hussein Obama is visiting Afghanistan with all of the major players of the liberal news media. Since he has absolutely no foreign policy experience, this is somehow magically going to qualify him as leader of the free world.

Hell, at least Hillary Clinton got to meet with foreign dignitaries and attend official functions for 8 years.

Who knew that simply going on vacation could qualify someone for the office of the President of the United States?

By this standard, I will soon be able to run for the office of President since I'll be 35 in October and have not only been to one foreign country (several jaunts across the border into Mexico on day trips), but also to such exotic locales as England, Germany and Sweden!

Wow!! I have more foreign policy experience than the Democrat's potential presidential candidate!

Too bad I'm not a racist, terrorist-supporting, Anti-American Marxist or I could've run against him for the Democratic nomination. :o(

Subject:Things that don't make any sense
Time:3:32 pm.
Isreal recently exchanged a Hezbollah terrorist back to the terrorists for the bodies of two dead Isreali soldiers.

Why?

If it's going to be an even swap, they should've put a bullet in the heads of two terrorists and given those back...

Or what I would've suggested, give them back 10 dead terrorists for each dead Isreali soldier.

They'd quit killing them before giving them back if they started doing that.

Subject:Rock Band 2 playlist posted
Time:11:23 am.
Yay!!!

I was surfing the gamestop website looking to see if the Rock Band Track Pack disc was out, yet, and stumbled upon the playlist for Rock Band 2.

Alanis Morissette - "You Oughta Know"
Alice in Chains - "Man in the Box"
Allman Brothers - "Ramblin' Man"
Billy Idol - "White Wedding Pt. I"
Blondie - "One Way or Another"
Fleetwood Mac - "Go Your Own Way"
Joan Jett - "Bad Reputation"
Judas Priest - "Painkiller"
Kansas - "Carry On Wayward Son"
Norman Greenbaum - "Spirit in the Sky"
Presidents of the USA - "Lump"
Ratt - "Round & Round"
Soundgarden - "Spoonman"
Steve Miller Band - "Rock'n Me"
Talking Heads - "Psycho Killer"
The Go-Go's - "We Got the Beat"
The Guess Who - "American Woman"
The Offspring - "Come Out & Play (Keep 'em Separated)"

I'm looking forward to trying the singing on the Alanis Morissette song, but will probably shy away from Joan Jett since I'll be playing with my cousins and I tend to substitute more colorful words in the song as opposed to what was recorded in the studio when I sing along with the radio. :o)

*is interested to hear how an 8 year old will sing "Psycho Killer", "White Wedding" or "Man In The Box"*

... and I hope it's a censored version of Man In The Box. :o)

Sadly, there are lots of songs from groups I've never heard of (or could care less about in the case of Rush :o)

Subject:Barack Hussein Obama: Redefining "Patriotism"
Time:10:19 am.
Mood: nauseated.
The front cover of Parade Magazine this past week (Sunday, July 6, 2008) has the cover story "What Is Patriotism?" with the honorable Senator John McCain on one side and the less than honorable Barack Hussein Obama on the other with quick definitions from each.

McCain: "Putting The Country First"
Obama: "Faith In One Another As Americans"

Which one's closer to the actual definition of what Patriotism is?

pa*tri*ot*ism n : love of one's own country and devotion to its welfare.

Sounds more like McCain knows what Patriotism is, whereas the 'highly educated' Hussein Obama doesn't. But hey, being a liberal, he can just make shit up as he goes and no one cares.

Okay, so... where does it imply that Patriotism is having faith in one another? It seems to be missing that in the definition (as Mr. Webster defined it). What I'm reading from this is that 1) (from previous reports this year) if you don't vote for Barack Hussein Obama, you're a racist, and 2) if you don't have faith in Barack Hussein Obama, you aren't patriotic.

I guess I'm just an Anti-American racist... because I'm not voting for that bigoted, terrorist-supporting bastard. I just don't have 'faith in one another as Americans' where that piece of shit is concerned. I'd much rather 'put the country first'.

Subject:Aerosmith: Saved By Their Opening Acts
Time:9:50 pm.
Music:Guns N' Roses - "Since I Don't Have You".
(I tried to do a game review at gamestop.com, but it kept sending me back to the preview page rather than giving me a Submit button for the review form... so I'll post it here, instead).

Challenge = 8 out of 10
Graphics/Animation = 9 out of 10
Responsiveness = 9 out of 10
Sound = 10 out of 10
Controls = 10 out of 10
Interface = 8 out of 10
Song Variety = 9 out of 10

I was really anticipating the release of this game after getting Guitar Heroes 1-3 for Christmas and Rock Band in January. I'm a little disappointed in the content, but not enough to trash the game. For it's shortcomings (several mediocre songs from Aerosmith's incredible catalog with a few of their best tossed in to keep you interested), it's got many good tracks from other bands which you perform during the 'opening acts' of the concerts the game leads you though.

I think the best surprise for me was the inclusion of The Cult's "She Sells Sanctuary" as one of the opening act songs. It's long been one of my personal favorites from that band and seeing it listed as one of the songs when I unlocked a new concert was easily the highlight of my playing experience.

*really wanted to break out her Rock Band drums and bang away to that song on them*

"I Hate Myself For Loving You" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and The Kinks' "All Day An All Of The Night" (by a cover band) were good choices, as were "Hard To Handle" by the Black Crows and Stone Temple Pilots' "Sex Type Thing". "Cat Scratch Fever" by "the Nuge" took me by complete surprise when it showed up

There contains both versions of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way"; the original which you can purchase in the game's store (referred to as The Vault in this game) and their remake with Run-DMC, which is a little harder to perform.

The game's 4 member band is expanded with a 5th rhythm guitarist to the left of the bass player although the game remains 1 or 2 players only. It's a pity she's not one of the unlockable/buyable characters in the game. She sort of reminds me of Janice from the Muppet's "Electric Mayhem" band. Old Guitar Hero 3 characters Lou, Elroy, and Metalhead return as unlockable characters; along with the guitarists and bassist from Aerosmith and DMC from Run-DMC. The game features a few new styles for old outfits to the other characters (Johnny, Judy, Casey, Axel, Izzy, Lars, Midori and Xavier) and some new guitars seem to be in the collection, too.

I think that the band videos between the concerts where Steven Tyler and the boys talk about the various venues would've been better suited as purchasable Bonus Videos (like in the previous Guitar Hero games) rather than slowing down the action during the game itself.

As for play, the jewel buttons seemed to be a little harder for me to distinguish from the fretboard during Star Power for some odd reason. Maybe it's just me, but I seemed to miss more of them than usual after activating Star Power than I do in the forementioned GH and RB games.

Die-hard Guitar Hero players will probably grab this game no matter what the reviews say (I did, and would do so again since it only adds more songs to my collection). Others may want to take a 'try before you buy' attitude and play it first either in-store, at a friend's house or as a rental.

Subject:Things I Hate About Daz... (the short list)
Time:4:48 pm.
Mood: pissed off.
Music:Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Leave My Girl Alone".
Where does one start with a topic like this (there's just so much to choose from)?

*was originally going to post this to her personal forum at ArtZone but decided against it as it would've incited the many ignorant, filthy Daz peasants to grab their pitchforks and try and burn her as a witch*


1. Closing of Poser Pros
My favorite Poser content store gets shut down and it's vendors dissapate into the four winds.

Think DAZ will run Buy One/Get One Free sales?

*nearly chokes on her own laughter with that one*

It was nice to have a shop where, if you had a problem with a product, you could message the vendor or Guarie and BAM!... it's fixed.

It was like MAGIC!!

And the prices were great! Remember when you could find an entire outfit for Aiko 3 for under $8?

Well, an outfit for Aiko 3 under $8 that didn't require you to either spend $8 a month to be a member of an online Sam's Club in which the only way you get back what you put into it is to buy in bulk, and even then you didn't get much to choose from that you actually wanted... You know, like Sam's Club!

I know, I know... IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!1!, right?

I'd love to.

Unfortunately, I can't.

*can't seem to get 3D Universe to ditch DAZ and open his own online store*


2. Aiko 4
SHE'S NOT AIKO! SHEEESH! She's a freakin' MORPH for V4.2!

I just loved how they told you folks that she would be able to wear all V4 outfits, so you bought into it, bought the bloody 'character', then were charged again for the outfits you had already bought for V4 just so they'd work with A4.

I especially loved the posts you peoplel put in the forums about how great it was that Daz was offering their customers new outfits that were promised to work with their A4 morph character which wound up not working with it and that Daz was going to allow you to buy the 'upgraded' outfits again so they would work! You folks have been so blinded by all the sunshine you've blown up Daz's butt that what you seem to trumpet as great is what we in Texas refer to simply as... 'a ripoff'.

Baaaaaaa! Baaaaaaa!

*thought of posting "waaaaah! waaaaaah!", but this seemed more fitting to a community of sheep who follow along blindly on whatever stupid campaign DAZ comes up with at the moment*

Wish I was a Judas goat1. I'd try and lure you folks back to Poser Pros.

Oh, wait. Poser Pros doesn't exist anymore, DOES it?!

Guess ya'll are stuck with this crap, then.

Sorry. I tried. :o(


3. Artzone Marketplace
IT'S DAZ! IT'S THE SAME FREAKIN' SITE WITH THE SAME BLOODY LAG-INDUCING GARBAGE MUXXING UP YOUR BROWSER WHEN YOU TRY TO SHOP!

Noooo! It's new!!! It's new!!! It's a different site with completely different things!!!

No. It's not.

*seriously considers reposting her "Baaaaaaa! Baaaaaaa!" comments*

Great. They have a handful of Poser Pros Pro Club items here. Could've just left them at Poser Pros and not wasted everyone's time with taking them out of their .zip files and vomiting them up into .exe format... not to mention running off their old Poser Pros vendors in the process.

Shut up!! That's what DAZ does!!

You mean vomit up .exe files or run off their vendors?

It's the DAZ store.


4. Face Off
Where the hell did ArtZone's "Face Off" go?

*used to log in every once in a while when she was bored and vote for images she liked, which was pretty much anything that
1. wasn't someone's Real Life photo/avatar of themselves
2. wasn't some same old V3 picture*


Now I don't even have that to enjoy at ArtZone anymore.

1 The term Judas goat refers to any animal (usually a goat) which is trained to lead sheep down a chute from one pen or truck into the slaughterhouse for butchering. The animal heads down the chute, then steps into another chute which is then closed off. The following animals continue merrily along their ways oblivious to their demise.

I saw a thing once on J.K.Rowling that said she was only going to use British actors/actresses in her Harry Potter movies, yet in the very first one, there's little Verne Troyler as a Gringot goblin.

He played "Mini Me" in the Austin Powers' movies, was born in Michigan and is still an American... living in America!

It seems she can preach about how she only supports British actors and wants them in her films, yet when it comes down to it, they come crawling to us to get our actors when they can't find any in the UK that could portray the goofy roles she's written.

So crawl, J.K.Rowling.

Crawl like the two-faced, lying worm you are.

Take our actors and LIE about having them in your films.

Then give us back our midget when you're done with him; he completes us. :o)

Subject:More Lameness from Sci-Fi
Time:9:07 pm.
Mood: angry.
Music:Pat Benatar - "Le Bel Age".

What the hell is up with Sci-Fi Channel's original movie, "Mega Snake"?!

It was supposed to feature last season's winner of "Who Wants To Be A Superhero", Feedback. They even show him fighting the monster during the commercials.

However, when you finally sit through the blasted thing, there's all of 2 minutes with Feedback near the end of the film as he talks to some kids about the dangers of electricicity, then the snake shows up (which has been tracked by ordinary guy and his park ranger girl friend and a local indian who knows all about the mega snakes from his tribe's legends).

Feedback never displays any of his super powers, and only seems to be there to drag a little kid out from under a table or something, then you never see him again.

It seems to me that the people featured in the film are the ones you see throughout the thing. Feedback should've really gotten ahold of his lawyer about this crap and gotten Sci-Fi to stand behind their contest and made a super hero film about his super hero character. He was supposed to have gotten 'immortality' from winning that contest which included a comic (I think) and a feature sci-fi original movie. He didn't get Jack Crap from the film and no one's going to remember him after this season's "Who Wants To Be A Superhero" ends since he'll be replaced next season by this season's winner (going around dragging in the new contestants and interviewing them after they each get sent home next season).

This was really a let down. Thanks, morons. :o(

Subject:We all love you, Gamera!
Time:8:39 pm.
I'm watching a really crappy old Japanese movie (hard to differentiate among them... they're all really bad).

This one's "Atomic Rules of the World" and is about how atomic bomb testing is destroying the galaxy's collective ozone layer. All of the radiation from the bomb testing on Earth is escaping into space and threatening other planets.

The rulers of the other planets have created Starman: The Galactic Faerie of Justice!

... that's what he looks like when he's not dressed like Frank Sinatra. :o)

Anyway...

There's one scene where Starman (as Tojo Sinatra) is talking to some orphans in Japan. One of the lines immeditately made me think of "Gamera".

Starman: "That's okay. I'm friend to all children."
Btara: *mimicking one of the little Japanese kids* "No. Gamera is friend to all children. You're just a big liar. And you dress like Space Faerie. We don't like you. Go away."

Great.

The car had 1 adult in front driving, 1 adult in back with hat, 1 child in back held hostage.

Adult and child in back exit vehicle on a bridge so they can get onto a train. Adult in car U-turns and drives off.

Next scene shows car driving by. Pausing the movie, you can clearly see 2 adults in the back seat with hats. I'm guessing it's just a re-edit of the car footage earlier when Tojo Sinatra and the other two were driving off from the airport. :o)

Subject:Racing Into Insanity!
Time:7:11 pm.
Mood:congested.
Music:Elmore James - "I Done Somebody Wrong".
With the HotWheels [tm] Cthulhu Raceway!



One of my cousins got this the other day (and it's currently taking up good real estate in the room where the playstation is set up). He got it put together but dragged my sorry butt into the room to apply the stupid decals. I swear, the only selling point they seem to have with HotWheels tracks is the thousand plus decals to fancy them up.

The toy's name is Octoblast (I guess it's supposed to be a giant octopus that your cars spin around on), but when I saw it sitting there in the floor, it just looked like The Old One to me.

Honestly; does that look like an octopus or does it look like Cthulhu to you?
