10.000 BC

Snow time~~!! Day 2 ^_^

It's Easter Monday and it's snowing again. I haven't shaved in like 5 days so I have a nice little beard. With that I thougt, let's watch 10.000 BC. My sisters boyfriend brought it with him and I was bored anyway.



Time for the story. It's pretty standard for this type of film I guess. Boy meets girl, boy has rival, a prophecy, girl gets kidnapped, bla bla bla. This had been done thousends of times but this time a different setting.

The setting is pretty cool though. Snow tundra's, a jungle, the dessert. Pretty well done. The CG is pretty awesome to, especially the mammoth's. So your saying this is a pretty decent movie? No, it's not.

The storyline is just crap. They switch from scene to scene like they have a timelimit of 15 minutes. One minute they are on a snow covered mountain, the next they are a big jungle. The main villians of this movie are some kind of Arabian tribe. Why arab's?? Like they don't have it bad enough. They kidnap people from tribes for some aparent reason. Hey decide to cross a frinkin' mountain to kidnap 10 people and bring them back to a desert that is 1000 km away. That makes sense -.-

Well, if the kidnapping isn't bad enough, they use them as slaves. Off course all the slaves are black except for the 10 people from the caveman tribe. Could it be more stereotype~~!!!

But do you know what breaks my balls. You know that big sabertooth tiger you see on advertisements? It only appears for 4 minutes in the entire movie. I thought it was the main predator. Instead we get some oversized chicken like animal that only appears in the jungle and apperantly likes to eat people. Who came up with that briljant idea.

To those who are thinking of seeing this movie, please don't. Go see a good movie and avoid this peace of trash~~!!

I'm dreaming of a White Easter

Isuta Omedetou~~!!

yes, ii's easter and it's snowing in the Netherlands ^_^ Like Winter is saying: "Screw you guys~~!!" I Love snow~~!! To bad the ground is to warm and melts instantly. Well, it´s better than nothing.

Today I went to Beverwijk, the Black Market ^_^ My first time and it´s pretty cool. Bought a couple of new jeans and a lott of food XD Only thing I hate: the crowd!! They are all experts in the art of walking really.........really.........slow..........It sucks

Also decided to pick up Phoenix Wright. For some reason, if I put away a game for a while, I get better. I was stuck on the last mission, so I decided to start over again and voila.......I got passed the part I was stuck. But now I´m stuck again ><

Time for dinner.

Shiranai, Snakes and Death Note

Okey,

time for a little update. Today I went to see grandpa. He got released out of the hospital. Last week he got poisened by his own medication. Thank god he is feeling really well ^_^ My little cousin was also there. He's pretty cool, he smiles 24/7

Besides the visit, it was just a typical sathurday. Doing some windowshopping, exploring China Town, ect......Got myself a copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for just 6,50 so that was just awesome~~!!!

Just got an e-mail from Shiranai Travel. I asked them if there will be a secong groupholiday besides the one in august. Niels said that were will not be another one this year. The chances of me going to Japan this year are getting slimmer by the day. I really need to find a traveling buddy.

Time for something scary: My ugly mug with the Death Note Novel



Today I finished reading the Death Note: Another Note, the Los Angeles "BB" Murder Cases. This novel is a prequel to the series starring Misora Naomi and L. This book should only be read if you finished the manga or the anime (I recommend the manga). It gives the reader insight in the history of L, the creation of his successors and the Wammy House. The story is not as great as the manga and it's also really short, but it was a fun read. If you have some spare time and like Death Note, try to pick it up.

That's about it, I'm going to watch Uri Geller.

Yeah, most of you know ;) just wanted to share it~~!!
Maybe that person reads this but chances are slim to none so i don't care
time to move on I think, there are more fish in the sea

Review weekend: The Final Part

So, I just got home from Eindhoven, just in time for my final review of the weekend:



Let's just make this review short: Mahou Da Con...sucked... hairy...grandpa...balls~~!!!!!

Okey, let's start with the location. The con (if you can even call that) was located in Veldhoven, just outside Eindhoven. I asked the busdriver to give me a sign if we were there. After a while he called me out and said this was the place. I got out and realised that the busdriver was an a**-hole and stopped me two busstops to early. I had to walk 1,5 kilomter in the rain to the con.

Okey, I arive at the con and I see a line. "Okey" I thought, but no, they were just slow. Waited 15 minutes to get in and was just really disappointed. I'm a fan of pro's and cons lists so these are the cons:

* Small videoroom
* 2 dealers in the whole con
* cancelation of almost al mayor competitions:
- AMV compo because nobody made an AMV
- DDR compo because the beamer broke druning the compo
- The Cosplay Acts had 1 act
* fighting staff members
* crappy food
* no preperation of things
* annoying curly haired announcer
* etc, etc, etc..............

I could go on for a long time but I want to go to bed. The only positive thing of the day was hanging with the ChibiCon-staff. Melissa, Dale and Rutger, if you read this: Arigatou~~!!! thanks for the hilarious moments. At one moment we just decided to watch anime and play TouHou-project. Overall, Mahou Da get a big fat F~~!!

That was review weekend. Good night~~!!

Review weekend Part II

So, it's the second day of my reviewing weekend and now it's time for a little game that goes by the name of Portal



Portal is a game that is part of "The Orange Box", a compilation of the Half-Life games and the new Team Fortress 2. To be honest, Portal was the game I was looking out for the most.

The whole concept of Portal is pretty simple. The player needs to get across a couple of levels in a research facility of some sort. To get across these stages the player uses the Portal-gun, a gun that let's you create a blue and orange portal. These are connected to each other and help you get to the end of the level. Sounds simple right.

During your little adventure you need to think of new ways to use your little gun. If it's just to create a portal from one side to another or even making a loop to propel you over a wall. The puzzles are just absolutely briljant. The Half Life 2 engine really does this game justice.

The star of this game isn't the gameplay. No, it's GLaDOS, a computer AI that monitors and directs the player. I just love the way they designed her. GLaDOS appairs to be a friendly AI, but during the course of the game some hints prove otherwise. The oneliners she says during the game are just pure gold and she has some sort of obsession with cake XD

Portal is a pretty short game to be honest but that doesn't take away the fun. It's a classic and just go play this game

Review weekend ^_^

Okey, first up, I want to wish my grandfather a happy birthday~~!! He turned 75 today ^_^ a respectable age. To bad I'm sick at home. I had one of my wisdomtooth removed but it didn't turn out well. Lots of afterpain and a sleepless night took it's toll. I feel like crap and after I finish this I will go to bed.

So time for the review, the first game of this weekend is one of the most weird and f*cked up games ever: Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan or simply Ouendan 2, the sequal to one of the most surprising games of 2006.



The gameplay didn't change pretty much. To complete a song in Ouendan you need to tap a circle at the time. The game is devided in a couple of modes ranging for easy to insane. One of the biggest pro's (or cons) is the Jugdement. It's a lot more strict then the first game. The first Ouendan was pretty easy up until cheerleader mode, but this time aroud I had problems with Hard mode. I failed a lott~~!!! Well, today I finally made it to cheerleader mode, so let's see what awaits me.

Besides the original Ouendan, a new rival Ouendan appeara that challenges the original Ouendan in skill and cheering. The makers of Ouendan must really like German Culture I think. Both Ouendan look like they stepped out of WWII movies. They really look like Nazi bastards >< The graphics are pretty cool, over the top and I like them ^_^

Compared to the original, the songlist is pretty mediocre. The songs are fun but not really great. These are a couple of songs I do like:
* Real Life Real Heart - Kimura Kaela
* Julia Ni Shoshin - The Checkers (yeah, it's pretty gay but fun to play ><)
* Countdown - Hyde

Okey, one of the biggest improvements is the ability to skip the movies~~!!! The movies are pretty fun, don't get me wrong, but people who played the first game will be pretty happy. To watch the beginning of Ready! Steady! Go! over and over again was the reason i almost snashed my DS against the wall ><

As most of you know, Ouendan is a game that really damages your DS. Where the first game pretty much assrapes it, the second on will not only first assrape it but also squirt in your face. Sometimes the charts are so fucking hard, you don't even see the next circle you need to press. Don't even think plaing this game without screenprotection if you get angry easily.

Overall, Ouendan is pretty much the same as the first, which isn't a bad thing. If you want a good musicgame, a big challenge and aren't afraid of Nazi's, just get the game ^_^

Dreams

I miss the pure joy
Of living in a dream
Staring into her eyes
And watching her beam

The small things she does
Like playing with my hand
Sends me into a fantasy
I can't understand

I need to be held
Wrapping her tight in my arm
To know she will be safe
That she will never be harmed

I yearn for her call
To hear her sweet voice
To be told that I'm loved
And that I'm her choice

I miss her immensely
But my position is the worst
Because the problem ahead
Is finding her first

The First of the Third

it's been quit a day. I woke up at 8 o' clock. I had an appointment to mod my PS2. I'm so happy now ^_^ I played some Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. So awesome~~!! I'm going to start with the original Devil May Cry and tomorrow for Xenosaga.

The trainride home made me realise that there arer some pretty f*cked up people on this planet. At the trainstation "Zoetermeer Oost" a guy came in talking on the phone I think, he was in another compartment. All he was talking about was calling 0900 numbers (for those who don't know, those are sexlines XD) and what he called are horny bitches. Pretty weird >< That's not all, in the tram there also were a couple of guys talking about pc's and stuff but I don't think they really know that the hell they were talking about.

Speaking of pc's, I finally got mine ^_^ wel, almost. William is going to assemble it this evening. So, now I only need to wait for my IIDX controller. Time to make some soup~~!!! Till next time
