I had a weird dream that involved NMH

It was really weird. It was a combination of N0 More Heroes and Star Wars.. kinda.

In the dream, I was like another assassin in NMH. I had beat the game, but found out that there was a ton to do after the final boss. So for some reason I was on this ship, and landed at an island. I was walking around and stabbing my beam katana in the ground to find money.

I was searching for the ultimate final boss of the game. Now, I was able to use some Star Wars like power, like being able to move things with the force. I was able to grab my beam katana from like 3 feet away without touching it; just like having it come to my hand. That's pretty much where it ends. I remember trying to use the Force powers on myself, like making myself fly by using the Force on my body. But it didn't work.

Also, I remember like maybe running from something? I'm not sure. But it was cool wielding a beam katana, even though I didn't get to kill anything.

Oh well. Ever had a videogame dream?

I hate reviewing games

As the topic title says, I hate reviewing games, but for some reason, I feel compelled to do so. I know that almost nobody is going to read the reviews, and that my review won't affect anyone's opinion.

But alas, I must. I reviewed No More Heroes today. Gave it an 8.0. The rest you can see by the review I wrote. I still need to review Zach and Wiki.

I guess it is kinda like blog writing. Almost nobody reads my blogs, but I feel like I must. I guess I do it to increase my sphere of influence; to feel like I'm changing the world somehow.

Or maybe I just like to feel special or important when someone clicks on my avatar just to see what I have been doing of have written. The sad thing is that I have had a MySpace for nearly 4 years, and have had this GS account for over a year and a half, yet my GS account has waay more views than my MySpace account.

So in real life I don't have an outgoing personality, but online I guess my personality is more noticeable. Ah, the anonyminity of the Interwebs!

How to comfort a friend?

Well, my friend's gf just dumped him, and he was pretty sad about it. I'm ok friends with him.

I'll get to the point: how do you comfort a person in a situation like this without sounding cliche? I can't just say that "There are more fish in the sea," because I didn't know anything about their relationship. I've never been in a situation like this before, so it is kinda awkward for me.

Should I just ignore the whole thing? Should I just let him take care of it? What?

Bigotry is annoying...

So I went to the movies yesterday with a couple dudes. One was a hispanic guy who's pretty chill. The other was this white guy, who, well, is an annoying bigot.

For some reason, the topic of homosexuality came up. He was saying that he hates gays and that they are disgusting and wrong. The other dude and I were just looking at each other going, "WTF?" It was really annoying.

Not to mention he has the lowest self-esteem I've ever seen. No joke. It seems like every other word that comes out of this mouth is "I'm going to die alone," or "I'm going to die at 25," or "I'm fat," or "I'm not good at anything." We are trying to raise his self-esteem, but it just won't work.

I asked the guy if he was always like that, and he said he does it because if someone else makes fun of him, it won't effect him. Kinda sad, and pathetic. He says he hates everything also.

He is fat though, but he also just looks big. I have no idea how he got like that. I asked him if his parents said that he'd die alone, and he said, "No, it is just a conclusion I've realized." It is really annoying to me and my dude friend.

I think he's just using his fatness to explain for his low confidence, which in turn destroys his self-esteem. And honestly if he keeps up this attitude, he will die alone, and at the age of 25.

Let's talk about VIDEOGAMES!!!!

I beat Zach and Wiki: Quest for Barbaro's Treasure. The last two levels (Barbaro's Land) were hard as well. I used a FAQ on both of them.

I don't feel bad. In the entire game, I only used a FAQ on three levels, the two on Barbaro's Land, and Mad Science. That was hard as hell as well. So for over90% of the game, it was my own brainpower that led me to the treasure.

A great game. I'll try to review it eventually. Everyone should get it, even if you don't like puzzle games. It really doesn't feel like a puzzle game imo, more like an adventure game with a lot of puzzles in it .

I have to beat No More Heroes still. The action in that game is so awesome.. but that's the problem: There isn't enough of it. The overworld is shallow, and the mini-games aren't too great.

But the action is awesome. I'm like 60-70% through with it, despite teh fact I've had it for like 3-4 months.

Then there is Okami... what meh. The beginning was so boring that I just didn't play it anymore. Maybe I'll go back to it. Maybe not. Too bad I don't have my PS2 here, or I could play MGS3 and finish that game.

I got my LoZ: ALTTP game and Animal Crossing: Wild World game back from my gf. I have never beaten ALTTP. Hell, I dont think I've even made it to the Master Sword in the game. My gf beat the game like 4 times though. And I'd figure I'd play AC because she wasn't.

I think my next blog will be on my thoughts on AC: City Folk for the Wii this year.

Hasta luego compadres!
