Sweet, so I am totally going to go buy a 360 this weekend. This was seriously the last game I was waiting for on the PS3. Hideo Kojima announced that unfortunetely it wont be available at the same time but I'd rather have it late than never. Check out the announcement! It mostly one of the previous trailers recut with Hideo Kojima's announcement at the end. I'm psyched.

But I have been busy... which is a lie. What I have been doing is playing a lot of games. I ran into a lot of PC game recently (finding that though integrated video on my new XPS M1210 was a bad idea my proccessor can make up for the loss in video) I've been playing Warcraft 3, Fable and Black and White 2 (Working on F.E.A.R. as well...) Also Smash Brothers Brawl is out and I have to tell you, it is everything and more. If you own a Wii and have not yet picked up SSBB, you are missing out. Great fun, best in the series I can't possibly praise it enough. During the copius wet season of games I tend to play a lot of them. But I'm still here... So hello everyone.

This is my short and sweet response to an article written by Kevin McCullough, which, to be honest was indeed brought to my attention by Penny Arcade. He is grossly misinformed and has been ranted upon the entire page by commenters, but I still thought a reasonable banter was warrented.

Do you have any idea what you are talking about McCullough? Have you ever played a video game? Do you have brain poison?

Game's with mature content aren't marketed to young audiences. It is irresponsible parent's who don't monitor their children's purchases that are responsible for the content therein reaching an unintended audience. If you are still looking to place blame, retailers often neglect to check buyers identification, thus allowing underage children to possess what is obviously mature content.

I'm no supporter of games which objectify violence and sex needlessly. But oftentimes, preachy columnists such as yourself fail to even play through an entire game, much less experience anything but the worst in a game. You know nothing of the content, the depth, or complexity of the game of Mass effect.

Quit blaming games for bad parenting. There is a rating system, and if adults/retailers would follow the rating scale at a reasonable level games which are obviously intended for a mature audience (if only for a brief seen containing barely explicit nudity presented tastefully and well in context and character development) wouldn't end up in the hands of children.

Your concern is misguided, belligerent, and uninformed Mr. McCullough.

This video isn't new, per say... but rather an older video I never got around to fixing. There are a few bits that I don't like and wanted to change and I've finally admitted to myself I have no motivation to change it now. Instead I will upload it for your viewing pleasure. It's another FFX video and I worked on it shortly after my last video... (Mid summer)

I think the pairing of the song/video is great, but my editing isn't top notch on the video... I wanted to avoid the confusion that might occur if people thought I was calling Yuna a harlot... I wish there were video of Yunalesca, because I really wanted the song to pertain to Yunalesca and Sin/Seymour. My favorite bit is near the end with the key change. I'm not sure if this is my last FFX video or not... I have plenty of clips to choose from. I'd appreciate some critique, though I know this isn't a finished project. Thank you! Enjoy!

I promised I'd stop doing this, but oh well. I just reached level 21 and 3000 posts. Two landmarks, as Level 20 is exceptionally difficult to pass. (Level 21 is quicker) Yay for me.

Also, Mass Effect looks so amazing? Why haven't I been following this game for longer?

I'm really looking at a 360 very seriously now. Mass Effect is coming out, and I can get in on Orange Box, Dead Rising, Gears of War, Halo 3, Grand Theft Auto 4, and a menagerie of other excellent games. While the PS3 is still very alluring the content just isn't enough to attract me. Certainly Metal Gear Solid 4 looks absolutely mind bogglingly fun, but it really has turned into the only real game attracting me to the PS3.

The downside to this plan, is that I don't really like the 360... I'm not at all familiar with the controller, and I'm not a big Microsoft fanboy. I actually really like the PS3 as a console, but Sony is making it too difficult to warrent a purchase. I don't know if I buy a PS3 it might be obsolete in a few days, or they might just make the features I bought for too much money outdated and useless a few months down the road by making a new model with new features and focusing on that as 'standard' and leaving everyone else to catch up.

I've been saying this for over a year now, and I think might just be crazy. I'm fairly 'frugal' with money, or at least I like to think I am. I'm also planning on buying a new TV soon, and although I would love to get that first, I know some good deals will come up closer to Christmas.

Until then?
