I think they are quite foolish, PS3 still has a lot to offer that can’t compare to an XBOX and certainly not to a Wii.
The following rant took place via text message between myself and @Trevkor. Typos and all:
” good thing I rented the game or else I would have snapped the disc in half by now. So when you begin the game it tells you it AUTOSAVES. So I assumed it AUTOSAVED. like it fucking says it does. Well I’ve never played a Rock Star game before and apparently EVERYONE KNOWS WHEN YOU DIE IN A ROCK STAR GAME YOU GO ALLLLL THE WAY BACK TO YOUR LAST SAVED POINT. LAST SAVED POINT THAT YOU MANUALLY HAD TO FUCKING SAVE BECAUSE IT DOESNT AUTOSAVE. So I just played an hours worth of missions and even went through cut scenes only to get killed by a pack of PUSSY ASS WOLVES and find out that the whole hours worth of shit I did DIDNT FUCKIN SAVE BECAUSE I DIDNT MAKE A CAMPFIRE? A CAMPFIRE!? A FUCKING CAMPFIRE. I didn’t even know that’s how you had to save. I was searching the damn menu for a save button couldn’t find one and assumed it AUTOSAVED LIKE IT FUCKING TOLD ME IT WOULD. So now I’m back at the damn do da ranch with nothing done and no idea what saved and didn’t save and all my missions and inventory empty as if I JUST FUCKING STARTED PLAYING THR GAME!”
After reading article after article of guys classifying and categorizing the exotic and rare species known as the “Gamer Girl” I have decided it is time to turn the tables. The following stereotypes are in no way shape or form exaggerated ;] and are in every way 100% based upon my experiences.
The Species: The Romeo
He’s the guy who vows he will never break your heart. A smooth talker who could spend all day reciting awful poetry that’d make Shakespeare turn in his grave or drowning your inboxes with cheesy date fantasies that are so lovey-dovey they make you nauseas. In his mind he’s a Casanova and knows exactly what a lady wants and likes when he’s actually quite oblivious. Known to grow feelings over night and isn’t afraid to throw around that L word.
The Habitat: Very often he may be the “good friend” who doesn’t mind hearing about your issues with your friends and current boyfriend or ex, but is really only waiting for the perfect time to uncomfortably cross that line between friends and more than friends.
The Warning Signs: Loves Final Fantasy, often breaks into emoting at random moments, and has more girl friends than guy friends.
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I’m too young to worry
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
It’s pretty morbid when I have to start my first blog post on tumblr about yet another death of an entertainer, but it does give me something to talk about. Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan (drummer for Avenged Sevenfold) was found dead in his Huntington Beach home at the young age of 28, Monday December 28th. Huntington Beach police were notified by the fire department who arrived on the scene around 1PM. The cause of death was determined to be of “natural causes” but whether or not drugs played a part in the demise of the young drummer has yet to be ruled out. All in all no matter how “fishy” The Rev’s death may seem, he was one of the greatest drummers to have come out of the woodworks this decade. His amazing contributions to the rock community can be heard best on the band’s second album, Waking the Fallen, which was released in 2003 and more specifically in the songs Second Heartbeat and the breakdown at the end of Unholy Confessions. It’s a sad day when a band has to make the decision whether or not to carry onward without one of their members or end things completely. Replacing a band member hastily will only reflect poorly upon the band, making it seem as if the band and it’s revenue means more than their deceased member, but not moving forward and finding a replacement will seem as if they have given up the dream they all began together. It indeed is a double edged sword and I hope that Avenged Sevenfold is able to keep the fire alive with their fans and for The Rev in a tasteful manner. Rest in peace Jimmy Sullivan, Avenged Sevenfold and rock music won’t ever be the same without you.
