E3

Ohayo~!!

It's been a while, but I have been very, very busy. Lot's of work, vacation, ect...As many if you may know, last week was was the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3 for short. The most important game event of the year. Lot's of great trailers and news.

This post is going to be about the best trailer of the E3. It wasn't easy because there were so many good ones: Resident Evil 5, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, but there was one game that really stood out for me: MadWorld



Yes, it was only a minute long but I think it was so awesome. First of all, the graphics!!! I love it. It's Sin City-esque look amazing. I'm a sucker for cellshading. Wind Waker, Killer7, Okami....loved them all ^_^ Makes the gameplay look all the more gruesome.

Second of all: Gameplay. Looks okey. I think it's a good thing for a more mature game to come out. Most people think the Wii is just for little children an woman but thank god for games like No More Heroes and this one. Puts back some testosterone in the little white box.

And last but not least: Greg Proops. I just laughed my ass of when I heard his voice as the annoucer XD That guy is just awesome~!!! MadWorld, check it out, I can't wait till I can buy it ^_^

Till next time

The Hero of Time...

Sometimes I really wish for simpeler times, just like the old days. Waking up on a Sunday, not a care in the world and playing your little Nintendo 64. That used to be heaven...This morning I decided to play Ocarina of Time again. That game always cheers me up when I'm down. It reminds me of better times....

Mushrooms, Joint and a cocksandwich

Time for a new review. This time de sequel of one of the most funny movies I know.



The movie takes place the moment after the end of Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. They are back at their home, ate a shitload of burgers and decide to go after Maria to Amsterdam. Kumar smuggled some mariuana on the plane and gets cought smoking it in his selfmade bong. People think they are terrorists and get trown in prison. They escape and get into a lot of trouble.

The sequal is very similar to the first one. They get high, get into trouble, get high again, meet Neil Patrick Harris and get high again. It's pretty much more of the same. I liked the first movie much more than this one. For some reason they are just not as funny as the first one. Still, I enjoyed it.

Harold still hasn't grown a pair of balls. He is still a pussy and that's awesome XD I just loved teen Harold. Emo pussy Asian ftw~~!!! Kumar is still Kumar. Big foul mouth and does what he wants. John Cho and Kal Penn do a great job again.

For everyone who likes this type of movie, don't get your hopes up. It's an okey movie and only see it if you have seen the first one

Let the Sun Shine~~!!

Hey guys,

it's been a great couple of days the past week. The weather was just perfect. Not to warm and not to cold ^_^ So, a little recap of the past couple of days

Friday was an average workday. Lot's of work >.< thank god time went by fast. After work Saskia and William came by and played some IIDX. After that we went to play some DDR. Somehow it starts to get boring _o_ We didn't play it long and decided to drink something at the beach. We were pretty shocked at the prices. Damn, 4 euro's for a beer. That's just preposterous!!! We quickly decided to go back to Columbus.

The next morning I decided to do some shopping. I needed some supplies for mother's day and Ronald's birthday. First stop: the American Book Center. There I saw Myrrhis. We started chatting and decided to take a stroll down town since both of us didn't really have any plans. I had fun ^_^ The fun didn't end there because Saskia, William, Neko-chan and I went to play some Pump It Up. Yeay~~!!

Okey, Mother's Day and Pentecost. Pretty much an ordinary day. I didn't really do something special. As a gift I cooked a big dinner. Sushi as an appetizer and a wok-meal as main course. As a little extra I bought her some perfume. She really liked it.

And last but not least: Whit Monday. Yeay, today was a big bummer. I don't really feel well. My stomach hurts a lot so I stayed home all day. I had to cancel Ronald's birthday and a trip to the beach with Saskia and William. It's a lot better than this morning so that's a good sign :) Time for some food. Enjoy the great weather everyone.

Queen's Day

Hey everybody

30th of April, so that means Queen's Day. Best thing about Queen's Day? The night before XD yeah, a great excuse to get hammered ^_^ Queen's Night (sounds really.....gay XD) was really fun. Taiko no Tatsujin, alcohol, card games and Benny Lava are a great combo~~!! To bad the weather was a total suckfest. Thanks guys!!

On to Queen's Day. The day everybody trows there crap on the street and tries to sell it. The perfect day to look for old school games. After a scavenger hunt of almost 2 hours I ended up with.....absolutely nothing =.= where are all the games!! It's a total mystery to me. Thank god William and Saskia found some nice games for me ^_^ Can't wait till I get my hans on Ducktales and Double Dragon II for the NES and Zone of the Enders for the PS2.

Time for a little recap of game related stuff I actually found:
* a PSX half submerged in a puddle
* Tekken 5 for the PS2
* couple of boxed PC games and finally
* 17 copies of World of Warcraft XD

People are finally getting sick of memorpergus. Maybe they finally found out that games like warcraft are a total waste of time and not even fun to play.

There is one thing I HATE about markets and fairs: people clogging together if their lives depend on it. Over the entire fair there are a lot of open spaces, but do people use it?? NO!! off course not, why should we use them if we can cling together and annoy other people. There people should be put against a wall and be shot!!

Time for dinner, till next time

Anime Evening ^_^

It's been a while. Been very busy and also very....very...tired. Damn, I need a vacation. Time for a little update.

Yesterday we went to Almere for anime evening. To bad Neko-chan wasn't there :( He missed a lott of fun. 18 people came this time. I was very surprised. Many different types of people. Anime-Karaoke was pretty crowded most of the time, so my efforts were not in vain ^_^ Also some cosplays. Got oppertunity to dust of my Ouran suit. Got to say, I was the best dressed person of the evening XD Overall, a good evening.

Some other good news: I got myself some pretty sweet games. I'm talking about Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Contra (Probotector) and River City Ransom (Street Gangs). I'm so very excited~~!! Also playing IIDX 13 and Final Fantasy VII.

Last thing I want to leave you guys with is a quote I found on someone's rant. Here it is, I found it very representing for my own situation:

Cupid is an Archer who can't aim

That's it, time to go

Gino the Admin

Hey everyone,

I've been very busy at work. I've spend most of my time on Sharepoint and apparently I have the rights of an admin :p It's pretty cool to build site, add groups and manage userrights. I'm geting the hang of things ^_^

Time for a little mid-game review of Crisis Core. Yhere will be a final review once I finish the game. The story is pretty good. It's a nice add-on to the FF7 universe. The strongest sellingpoint for this game are the characters. I thought Zack was a little bitch at the beginning of the game but makes a lot of progress as the story unfolds. My favorites are Angael and Genesis. They are fantastic ^_^

Even though Crisis Core has a strong story, it lacks in gameplay. Landscapes are very dull, limit breaks are bases on chance and what's the worst of all, random battles aren't RANDOM!!!! They are so predictable =.= I hate it!! Give me a CC map and I can point out all the spots that have battles. The Limit Breaks are pretty awesome but like I said, solely based on chance. When you put random chance into combat mechanics all stategy will be trown out of the window, then scraped of the ground and usd to pick up the broken glass.....The enemy that finally gives you a limit break will probebly be the last enemy in the room so the only thing you are really doing is seriously haressing the walls. This game does feature the coolest limit break ever: Chocobo Stomp~~!! It's so funny XDD That's my midgame review. Time to watch some Minami-ke.

Till next time
