I Hate The Wii

I don't know about whoever is reading this but I'm sick and tired of all the praise given to the Wii. I bought it myself and thought it was a gimmicky piece of crap. It's almost like Nintendo don't want to make real games anymore. Instead they give us Wii Fit. There's hardly any real games for it that aren't the same rehashed Nintendo titles. I've seen enough Mario games to last me a lifetime. Get the 360. Get the PS3. They both havesome bad points about them that you may not like but they sure as hell beat the Wii. This is my opinion and I don't want anyone to be offended, but by typing this it probably still won't stop some idiotic fanboys. If you want to post a comment proving what a bad spelling you are and how much you "pwn" then be my guest. I need something to laugh at.

I May Be Leaving For A While

I deleted my top 10 least favourite TV shows by accident. I may re-write it again when I have time though that has nothing to do with this blog. As you can tell from the title I'm taking a break from this site. It may not be for that long or it may be for months. I will at least log on every day to check PMs and may occasionally read my friend's blogs. Though I will not be writing any reviews or blogs myself for what might be a long time. I just thought you should know.

Anime Perfectionists

I don't think I can hold it in for much longer. I hate anime perfectionists. You know what I mean. The type of people who hate almost anything that's not Japanese. The type of people who basically say that every single dub sucks without even bothering to think on the positive side or even watch them. The type of people who will not acknowledge any type of music other than J-pop, J-rock and emo(?). These type of people pi** me off to no end. Look, I'm fine with people who like anime. I occasionally watch anime myself. I'm talking about those obnoxious, obsessive weirdos who ruin it for everyone else. You know. Those people who have a very low IQ, who fail to accept the fact that there are people who dislike their cacky mainstream shows eg: Naruto and Bleach and who act as though you have a biase despite the fact that they are in fact being biased. They are who I'm talking about. Until these anime perfectionists have anything good to say then they shouldn't say anything.

My Personal Feelings Right Now

For the last few days I've felt really odd. I'm feeling as though I don't know what I'm inrto in terms of films, TV shows, music etc. and that I don't know what direction to go in. Perhaps tgis has something to do with growing up and being a teenager. I hope that these feelings will soon end and that I can get back to my normal life soon. If anyone who is reading this has ever felt like this before than feel free to comment about it.

10 Reasons Why Naruto S-u-c-k-s

I personally don't think that my Naruto review explains why I dislike it enough so I decided that it would be better to do this. Remember that this is just my opinion which I feel the need to express. I also wasn't trying to be obnoxious with the title. The reason I spelt out the last word was because TV.com will censor it out otherwise.

10) The story arc with Haku and Zabuza was the last thing in the show worth watching.

9) The fight scenes are often painfully dragged on.

Ninjas are supposed to be badass. Most of the Naruto characters are far from that.

7) If I was watching a show I really liked and suddenly lots of filler episodes were being made I wouldn't be that appreciative. I understand that the anime was catching up with the manga, but if that's the case then they should've temporarily ended the anme.

6) The characters suck and most can be described with less than four words.

5) The Naruto creator expects us to sympathise for his characters way too much.

4) In terms of the amount of episodes being made Naruto will go the same way as Inuyasha did and will painfully drag on, if it's not doing so already.

3) There is no real depth to the show.

2) It's all just fight, fight, fight.

1) Haven't points 2 and 3 already been done before? (DBZ)

Abysmal

Album Review

American Idiot Green Day

"Overrated"

Wow, what is the big deal? A mediocre pop punk band who were already overrated in the first place become a bunch of emos and gain millions of new fans due to doing this?? As you can see from the rating I gave this album I'm not one of them. The fact that some critics even hail this album as a modern masterpiece is just astounding. It's a bunch of whiney ballads and ironic punk songs, for Pete's sake!! If people think that this album is good then the world is quite clearly coming to an end. And yes, perhaps the album isn't quite as bad as I make it out to be but with all the people out there who worship Green Day for it the album instantly loses a star.

Album Review

Conspiracy of One The Offspring

"Comeback"

A bit of an improvement over "Americana" in my opinion. In no way am I saying it's that different. It's still a pop punk release that's aimed at the mainstream. However, unlike "Americana", which just sometimes sounded plain and even artificial in some areas, they have improved on their sound with "Conspiracy". Even "Want You Bad", which is perhaps the most mainstream song the band have ever done, sounds pretty swell. "Original Prankster" is also an improvement over "Pretty Fly" as there just seems to be more energy within the song. The first actual song, "Come Out Swinging", is an solid and energetic track. Other tracks like this off of this album include "Living in Chaos" and "Special Deliver". "Denial, Revisited" is perhaps the most moving song by The Offspring with the exception of "Gone Away". "One Fine Day" is also a treat. However the stand out track is without doubt "Million Miles Away". Anyway, a bit of a comeback. Hopefully the band made a good follow up with their "Splinter" album, which I haven't heard.

Who's Next The Who

"Masterpiece"

Who's Next is perhaps The Who's most well known album. It is certainly a classic with the rock 'n' roll gems "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" as well as the sorrowful yet angry "Behind Blue Eyes" and fan favourite "Going Mobile". My words of advice would be to find a relatively cheap copy, buy it, and then sit back and enjoy the music.

Smash The Offspring

"Influential"

This album basically surprised every in 1994. It was done on an independent label yet some of the singles became hits. It has perhaps become the best-selling independent album and has sold a few million copies. If you are a new to The Offspring then this is probably the best one to start with. "Self Esteem", a song which shows the band's influence from grunge music, is the easiest song to get into, but the rest will soon follow.

Ignition The Offspring

"Guilty pleasure"

This is perhaps the first great album by The Offspring. "Dirty Magic" is fantastic!! To all those who dismiss the first two Offspring albums completely and consider Smash to be their debut I pity you. You're really missing out.
