magiciandude's Blog

Welcome to my blog! You can find my rants, complaints, comments, reviews, and my life! Enjoy your stay or just hit the "Back" button if you're not interested. Your choice. Of course I'll accept all friend requests and PM's (just don't flame me).
Enough game talk, Magiciandude, what are you other interests?

Gah! How dare you ask me such an atrocious question!

I shall punish you by telling my other interests

Well...

  • I'm a religious guy, I'm a Christian
  • I was born in New Jersey (in the southern part near Newark)
  • I'm Puerto Rican
  • I'm somewhat a music fan. I listen mostly to Spanish music. Ah, nothing like the taste of salsa, merengue, and bachata. I don't like reggaeton. Of course, I enjoy other types of genres like jazz, R&B, and ballad. I'm pretty much a smooth listener.
  • Twice I've had a crush with girl. Things didn't go too well.
  • I'm left-handed
  • I nearly attempted suicide once (don't want to say what it was though)
  • I'm a member of the Random Misfits forum
  • Also a Wikia user.
  • In the two mentioned above, I have the same username
  • I have an account for YouTube and MySpace, I do not have the same name and do not use either very much. I hate MySpace and YouTube is full of retards.
  • Future career goal is being a game designer

So, erm, as a Wii-only user, am I exactly missing out?

Everytime I hear how much I am missing out for being a Wii-only owner, I'm starting doubt it.

The truth is, I find multi's not so valuable. Then again, I never did, throughout most of my gaming experience, I've been playing exclusives only. Here is what I mean:

Xbox 360:

  • Not a very big fan of shooters, plus I have a friend who has one, saves me some trouble, plus there is the RROD issues
  • I would get Banjo though

PS3

I am very disappointed in Sony for this

  • Around this time for the PS1 & PS2, you will find more diversity within the games, but not with the PS3
  • The best games are guess what? Not that interesting

Here's the breakdown

  • The only games I would be playing right out now would be Ratchet & Clank, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and possibly DMC4
  • The only games I would be looking forward to be MGS4, FF13 + Versus, Valkyria Chronicles

As for multi's themselves

  • I am not sure about DMC4, but I would give it a try
  • Same with Lost Planet
  • Bioshock doesn't hold my interests at all
  • GTA IV, don't even get me started....
  • Soulcalibur IV would be the only thing I would really miss out
  • Same with Street Fighter IV, but not as much
  • I guess Bionic Commando is all right.

Now for other rants

I HATE how much developers are putting efforts into graphics more than ever just to try to appease the audience these days. Back in the 90's, that was fine because we were entering the 3D era. Same with the sixth generation where the standards of graphics have ended there. It seems like Nintendo is the only right now caring about gameplay more than anything else. Take a look at MGS4 for example, there is a 90 minute scene. Does Kojima think we're watching a movie or something? I am NOT going to be of those who would want to view scene? Why? Because I couldn't care less about storylines. This is another thing I'm staring to hate about today's gaming. Not that I hate the game though, because I've enjoyed the MGS series, but this is one is looking rather, not as fun. The main point I'm trying to say is that many developers are taking stories WAY too serious and less on gameplay. I love FF series because of how story pulls you in and makes you want to play more. See, Square-Enix does it right with gameplay and graphics. Then again, I am an RPG fan so that makes sense for me. On an unrelated note, I just got FF9 and nearly finishing up FF7. Take Sonic the Disaster (Sonic '06 for the unenlightened) for example. Sonic Team focused too much on the graphics and very little with the gameplay and story. We know how that turned out.

See, when I look at game trailers, I am not of those who says "oh wow! nice graphics", instead I say "Oh hey! That looks fun!". See I don't really know what I am missing out.

Sometimes, I wish I could go back time and relive the 90's.

So What's New, EH Magiciandude? May Update

So here's what has been going on this month. For one, I am grounded because of school. For two, I beat New Super Mario Bros. in like not even a week. Wasn't worth the $35 price. I'm starting to find FF8 a bit boring, and I may give FF12 just another chance, though unwillingly. I've done some scoring for the Sonic 3D games, and I think that they're mostly overrated. The only Sonic 3D I've liked was Sonic Adventure 1. However, I loved Sonic and the Secret Rings because it gives the series back to its roots. I enjoyed Sonic Rush alot, which in this conclusion, I perfer 2D Sonic over 3D Sonic. I may be writing reviews for:

  • New Super Mario Bros. (wasn't worth the money)
  • Some Sonic 3D games
  • FF7 once I complete (I love this game)
  • Super Mario Galaxy
  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

So that's the jist of it for now.

Latest update (4/7) (not real long)

Okay, as some of you may have noticed, I have put up one review for Sonic the Disaster . Recently, I've been trying to get into the Final Fantasy universe, and so far, it's going well. I've borrowed a friend's copy of FF7, which I cannot stop playing and bought a copy of FF8, which I feel is also good so far. I'll be writing more reviews from here on, with my next most likely being Brawl. Also, if you have not noticed, I have put up my Wii Address on my profile. So yeah, that's what is on my mind for now. If anything else comes up, I'll just edit this blog.

Till next time.

Is it me or is Sega starting to take ideas from Legend of Zelda?

Just a rant, but I'm noticing that Sega seems to be taking ideas from The Legend of Zelda series, lately. Not that Legend of Zelda is 100% original, but there are things that are starting to irritate me. For one, in "Sonic the Disaster" (you KNOW which game I'm talking about), that monster Solaris looks like that bird you see in Link's Hylian Shield. In the end of that crappy game, the events doesn't happen and go back to the beginning. Sounds like Ocarina of Time to me. Next, is Sonic Rush Adventure. Good game I'll admit. But um, the theme of sailing and waking up in an island? I mean, the game was even released sometime before Phantom Hourglass. Now, Sega has done something stupid, have Sonic turno into a werewolf? That's where I started getting my suspicion, like after 2 games, you would know by now. Not saying it's true, but still. Come on now, a hedgehog? We JUST had a reknown hero who turned into one and it happened in Twilight Princess.

Sorry, but I'm starting to find this ridiculous. I'm not trying to say this is a bad thing, but I just find it kind of odd.

EDIT: Oh and, I forgot to mention that I have Brawl now, so I'll accept FC only to those that I'm familiar with (don't want too much requests)

Seventeen!

Wow, would you look that, I'm already seventeen.

Why must I life be full woes?!? If life is so fair, then why do we get hurt? What's the point of living.

*record breaksup*

Wait a minute, what am I saying? That is so not me.

In honor of my birthday, I shall throw a party here! *sets up room*

Anyone for a game of Brawl?

Bobakuzero, if you are ever reading this, *hands you a bottle of Mountain Dew*.

The drinks are on!

*turns on radio*
