Final High

so I was big on the Advent Children movie before it cam out a few years back. I kept my ear to the ground and painstakingly searched for info pertaining to the movie on a regular basis. I was SO into it that I got my hands on the film two days before it was released in Japan with some ragged subtitles so I could follow along.

Well Nowadays I'm not that big into the FFV:AC thing but it doesn't stop me from loving the movie. So naturally I'm ecstatic about the Blu-Ray release of the movie. Ever since I herd about how the HD version would have more scenes and fighting I was excited. However when I herd that the entire movie was going to be redone with dirt being a factor on the characters and their clothes, I was blow away.

I've been very much so anticipating the inevitable release of the HD Final Fantasy Movie. So I'm honestly giddy with it being next week that those of us across the trench in America here getting our release of the movie in HD.

Sim or Show?

I was looking around the tube the other day and found this vid. I'm not to certain where they got these ideas but i like it quite a bit. Even though it doesn't truly mesh with the melancholy concept very well.

Birthing Ideas

Well there's no lying that when you get an idea that's great it just seems to come out of nowhere. With me that's just the case; I may know what i can do to stimulate myself in order to raise the chances of having one but it doesn't stop the fact that they come when they come. Forcing it just doesn't work.

Well I found this video that explains expresses just that.

Final Fantasy Mash

hmm, it took a long time but man just being able to see a Final Fantasy game that hosts all the heroes and villains excites me. To bad it's not in HD and only the the PSP. I'm not much of a hand held gamer so it's a bit of a let down.



Better quality here.

Crying Consoles

so there's no if and or buts about it, as powerful as consoles are they still qualify as last gen technology compared to high end gaming rigs. A game like Crysis can kick a console's processor core senseless in less than thirty seconds if that. For that reason I've remained a PC enthusiast for some time, and there isn't much of anything that can make me stop being one.

However to find that crytek has actually gone back and rewritten massive sections of the cry2 engine to get games like crysis working on consoles, amazes me. Technically its not even the cry2 engine anymore either; it's gone through so many changes it qualifies as a new version, the cry3 engine. The changes are so significant that I can't describe how important this is to the (current) console gaming industry. Aside of some other things that were just as large if not bigger that were announced at GDC 09; this has to be one of the top three that I've herd.

Not all of you may look at this and understand just what this means on a technical basis. Though none the less the visual results are easy to understand.

Unexpected Intrests

So when it comes to what your interested in you typically fit a role to some extent. Most common being that you fulfill the visual role of a stereotype somehow. If your a jock you look like you exercise a lot. If your a prep you dress well, have nice hair, and know whats in. When your a nerd your (very) scrawny or chubby, wear glasses, get picked on, and don't get any girls.

Stereotypes drive forward many mediums today because they're easy to describe and design. However they aren't that real. Certainly they exist but they really don't look like what you expect them to. One example would be Vin Diesel, a large muscular actor who got his name from how much energy he had as a bouncer. However his oldest past time is tabletop gaming Dungeons and Dragons style.

check this vid it's a better explanation than I can give.
