The diffrence between a smart person, and a person who knows stuff.
I used to think X-play was cool. And I knew who Morgan and Adam were well not in person, but I read everything they wrote. I always felt Morgan had this thing about being smart. And how important it was. Yet her rants on the importance of knowledge, grammar, and games, and other BS, were coming from a person who was clueless on what was really important. In fact if you look at those two now, their really just pawns/hos to Mr Gates also. They have been bought. This may have been since E3 years ago. But now its for sure fact.
Sometimes people like Morgan get so tunnel visioned on what is what. That they cant see everything else for what it is. And it usually people either really smart with tunnel vision, or really just plain dumb. And who have no clue what the whole thing is about. I dont think some realize just how important of a systems race this is. And many are clueless on what the future is for one outcome vs another. Or they just dont care.
I try to keep things simple yet out of context to explain things. When asked what the US's relationship was to Microsoft gaming. I said. Do to the hostile large US corp, are country is becoming split. So its almost as if most will be on the bottom half. And the higher half is up in the penthouse loft, banging your wife and daughter. And your down below with the rest. Eating their scraps they made you want. And whats worse is your bragging about the whole situation. Almost cheering it on. Its amazing, but true. Thats the US's relationship with them. Letting them do whatever, because they gave you a cookie.
Tech and media economy is worldwide. You cant own it. The US wont make out from it. You cant make out from having it. Because its a worldwide thing. The average guy is not gonna see a dime from the US doing well in the tech area. Sure a few will, but it dont help us as a whole. And if anything it would hurt in the long run. So thus the USA chants can stop here. Its meaningless. Im as USA proud as anyone, but I know what I should pull for. And even more so, I know what I should pull against.
We need to know tech, im not saying we dont. In fact it is a must to know it well. But we dont need to run it. And no nation needs to. Plus, if you try and own all of the tech world plus the media one, even outside of computers. You mise will try and own Hell itself. Its to much of a global thing. One nation controlling all of that lol, it cant be done.
You need a balance in the world to balance a nations economy. It's all still one big place after all in reality. We do cretin things, with what are land and people, as a whole, give us. They do certain things. And in doing so, everything stays balanced. But every so often you get a leader thinking it should be more leaned one way. Thus everything starts to go out of whack. Hitler was one of course. Rome back in the days lol. Eventually they all fall under their own BS. And in todays world some corps are a big as political leaders almost. And thus you get the same insane levels with a few. And 100 years from now the same fates will happen. But they dont need to. But its the road we seem to want to take so?
And others will say. Times have changed. And Its a new world run by tech, we need to own it. BS! Plain BS! We just have to apply it to what is are staples are already. We need to start to work on new efficient ways of using energy. Are space program needs a lift, are farming. Put the tech to what we do. Start to work on that. Find ways to use it to help the lower area's, and all that applies to the standard American people. Even are movies and media. Tech will go into all of that also. If Japan owns the gaming part of media and tech world. Its just part of the spread balance. We do movies, they makes games. And life goes on. But If we take something else, its killing the world food chain of balance. Not saying we cant be a part of it. But its not something that should be owned by one.
But everyone wont care about that. Some just want to live and die, and dont care. They feel, hay its the futures problem. But me, Im not one of those people. In fact the average ho. Who wants his Bills from Bill, with maybe a pimp gates slap on the side. They dont care. World, US, none of it means anything to them.
And on a BS joke note. You cant go around saying US this or that, while driving a fart muffler Jap trap. Then I know your full of BS. And just for the record, I still respect and like Morgan and Adam. And Morgans Still a babe, hence an old sceenname lol. Yea she may be a older one, looked over by Olivia, but hay im an older guy
Had to use commas, Quotes dont show up?
And my thoughts on Mr Gates toady are
Im sure the guys smart as heck. But he has not one bit of authentic, artistic ability in him. He stoled his friends work, and made it his own. Only because he could market it better. He can market well. If anything thats his one gift. But that does not mean him and his company actually make good sh**!!! Everything he has done, is either stolen, or copied. I cant think of one original piece they have made. Of anything. Zoom = Ipod? 360= looks like a PS2? Plays like a home built PC from 2002. Games = All stolen, even Halo from the Mac squad team called bungie. Face it, the guys never really created anything. EVER!
MGS4 the lost art of gaming and vision
On a night of renting movies. And while watching the pumped up emotional action of Die Hard 4. And Also MI3. I turned to one buddy "without thought," and said. "Remember when video games were like this."
Yea,,back with the old MGS and RE, FFs, Tomb Raiders, and all kinds of cool stuff. It was odd. I kinda just said it. The sad part was the fact that I said remeber. And when. I could not say now. Not outside of Uncharted, anymore at least.
The story tellers of Hollywood are pretty good at what they do. Some better then others. But ones thing for sure. With the new breed of game development teams. Brought to us via the great new graduation ****s of the mid 90's to early 2000's. We may have gained a tun of development talent. But man did we loose alot of vision. Somewhere between FF7 epics "friend dies at the hands of a villain." To the now epci "Red shoot Blue. And Blue umm Shoot Red." Something has been lost. Yea we can try and pretend Bioshock, and Mass effect are good stories. But some on. Watch Lord of the Rings, or Die Hard 4. And tell me if they equal. Bio And Mass, a just another part of todays over praised "USA owns everyone" Micro "we tell you, you like it" BS.
Thing was back then, gaming did come close to movies. And even in some ways was surpassing Hollywood. That action and emotion was their. Chills ran threw you. Their was more than just shoot and run. Their was reason. And vary well written out ones.
Again I blame alot of this on this new breed. New breed of developers and game designers, new breed of 20 some game magazine editors who have no clue. New breed of everything.
Either a small team has the vision, but no devlopment talent. And no money. Or a team has the talant, and money. But no vision "EA
" So people try and buy already used up skripts of games, or talent.
Another part of the problem is basic things. Things as basic as hiring someone. Its a mathematical game. You hire 98 or 97. Just because its the higher number. People dont hire people anymore. They hire scores and numbers. And tests. They hire spelling and grammar correction lol. "Little joke." But they dont hire people and vision. So thus will proably see alot more red vs bue gaming. Before we ever really game again. Or be taken to other places via games.
Well at least for the most part it pretty stale. But in this quater of gaming, their is hope showing here and their. Some old guys still around. In fact,, Hideo Kojima's team may not be the best. But their pretty good im sure. And they have vision. His vision.
And although the attention span of the modern day teen to 20 some. Is about .5 of a second. With some form of ADD. Most of us others will understand MGS4. And will enjoy the heck out of it. Will get those Die Hard 3 and MI3 chills. And at least for one game. Will get to enjoy what vision and gaming was supposed to be by now. No offense to GTA4, they did their work vary fine. That game was not made to fit an epic story. But it almost did. Well as good as it could have done, in that type of game.
But im talking about the action and RPG games that have gotten lost. But maybe their not lost. Maybe their just still in development out east. But if not, we always got a bunch of BS from the west, on how great the story was in Red vs Blue.
Again this comes down to a simple question for gamers. Do you wanna game half as good. or full go? Do you suport BS or vision. So far most "as of the last 6 or so years." Most of you have choosen half and BS.
Alot of new games and fun! In a rough area of this thing we call life.
But for me they have to be. I think in this half of my life, ive kinda turned into a geek. The turns in my life saw me once as the great teenaged cocky jock/racer. Had it all it seemed. Had the model girlfriend, and was pretty good at what I did" from Skiing to racing motocross, to sports." And at that time. My little town that all this was in was South Florida "Miami/Ft Lauderdale." So life was vary cool. Then it was on to a wild party 20 some, and some great times. But now its a whole new thing. Just moving away from all my friends a few years ago. And now becoming just some average 30some joe, in a town where not many know me. Life has changed major. Im not known for anything, and Ive kinda turned my once side hobby of gaming. Into my main hobby. It keeps me sane, in this tough part of my life. In which in the last few years I have lost my father, and 5 other close family members. And have moved away and left my last girlfriend.
But games have always been by my side even in the cool days. Now their a big part. And its been a cool time as of late. After Uncharted and Cod4, and RandC and Devil may cry. I have now jumped strait into MLB 08. And man do I love this game. Im kind addicted to the road to the show mode. And my players doing pretty well. But I also just got my hands on R6V2. Alot like the first, but thats a good thing. And I was one of the few major fans of that game. I also am looking into Condemned 2. And from what I hear, its not to bad.
And its hard to imagine were only about a month away from GTA4. And that will be only a few months before the MEGA MGS4. And by the time we all get over that game. Throw in Haze and the summer looks cool to. And once in that mega summer. Will be looking at a possible FF 13. And not just one, but two games. Also Little Big Planet will be somewhere. RE5 should be around the corner. Silent hill not to far after. Killzone 2, INFAMOUS, RESISTANCE 2, and many many other, will have some of us having to make choices. So teh Next gen ball seems to finally be moving. And by the time we are playing all these games. Im sure will see some surprises for 09 at E3.
Life can get rough sometimes. So what better time to have some games to at least help you forget about the daily pains of rough areas in your life. And for me that area is now.
No hope in HD downloads for a LONG while
No hope in HD downloads for a while
Who are they trying to fool now. More rumors, more Stupid thoughts. Folks I talked about this with my Brother in Law. Who was with the Screenwriters guild at one time when they lived in LA. He also still writes and stays in contact with many in the Hollywood area.
For once can you all just use your head. These piad analysts and stuff have been giving you false hope for the last 2 years. Humm kinda the same 360 time frame??
But fact is Do you really think Hollywood is gonna allow for HD downloads within the next 5 years. And even if they did. Do you really think anyone would buy into it. Do you know how hard it is to even be able to capture true HD. They have this blackbox that is said can now. But it has alot of flaws. But that has nothing to do with movie downloads to much.
Fact is,, to have a full service of HD downloads. A whole new service built around it would take tuns of effort. I mean, your talking all 4.7GB "at the least" downloads. Than it would take tuns of time to re-convince all the studios to do. Than it would take consumers "who have a hard enough time streaming a video," to ask them to figure out how to download movies. And sit in their office chair and watch it. Instead of their Couch. You know how much of a idiot you have to be to think all thats going to fit into place.
Or maybe they have their eyes on some new HD download thing that will sit on top of your TV. But whos gonna buy one after all this. If you do this you may sell a few. But this would be after it takes you 10 years to get all the major studios to know their not gonna loose money "and gain" by doing this. Fact is if HD downloads cant make Hoolywood money. They wont do it!
Remember these are the same analysts that said a wii and PS3 were done before they started. Funny thing is many even said Blu Ray was. And 360 was some god. Their not analysts, their puppets. And for 2 years now youve bought into their Show. Do the world a favor, and dont buy into it again. You just find out you look like a idiot in the long run. BLu Ray won, its over! Deal with it.
Playstation 3 games run in fast forward?
But a few of us have come across a weird thing were not sure about. I could have waited till we ask others who know more about these machines, but I was to eager to write. Im sure it something just basic. But as some games have a little slow down. They also seem to have this odd thing where the speed up. Yea No BS,, and im not the only one to notice this. Oddly thow I dont see any posts on it. But I know people who have seen it. The games seem to go faster? Like almost in kinda this weird fast forward motion. But get this. As they speed up, they run perfectly smooth. Sometimes its just a tad faster, and is almost un-noticeable. And everything looks real clear when this happens. A few select times their definitely running way faster. And it just looks dang weird when this happens. I mean Ive only seen it a few times, but others have to. And I have seen it on more than one game. Like I said before most of these post subjects, are being filmed, so ill have more on it. Plus im sure ill talk to someone that knows what this is, and why it happens. After such, Ill post more on it in this one.
