Whee! My First Comment

After nearly two years of maintaining this blog, I finally get a comment in my "Crisis Bore" post. Sad, isn't it? Sad that it took that long to get a comment, sad that I rarely check my blog enough for comments and note that it went undetected for almost a month, and sad that this post's title actually makes it sound like a sarcastic moment of joy. If that's not enough sad for you, now I try to check out the commenter's blog only to find that it's been removed...boo hoo.

April Is For Fools

Ah...the wonders of having a hacked PSP...well, that's what I could be saying, except that would require having taken advantage of the hacking by doing something like playing Cave Story, or trying my hand at homebrew coding myself. Instead all I have to show for it is a barely-played copy of Lumines ordered on eBay and a recently-completed copy of Crisis Core that has left me slightly disappointed for several reasons of my own making:

  • Too damned short and easy (solution: replay on hard mode and do more than the first mission offered)

  • Not enough Aerith Cissnei (solution: same as above until her DMW percentage is 100%)

  • Subtle 'stabs' at political allegory (solution: laugh it off as a result of all the media hype about the election/nomination/scandal-of-the-week)

  • With that said, what kind of fool would need to hurt someone for a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV? Let me get it out of the way now and say that I won't be surprised at all if someone out there actually gets around to blaming the game itself for the violence that someone would resort to in order to get the game. I should be glad that such a thing hasn't happened at my place of work yet...as far as I know.

    What kind of fool would act outraged over some tame photos of Hannah Montana Miley Cyrus? I'm more unnerved over whatever face she's supposed to be making in that first photo. Looks like a 'gimme yo copy of Grand Theft Auto IV before I stab yo bitch azz' face to me - if a famous teenybopper girl can make that kind of face, that is. If the other eye were open, it could even be a 'you have done well to make it this far mister Zack Fair, but now you must DIE!' face.

    What kind of fool would expect Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive" to sound anything near similar to the multiple versions of "Keep Yourself Alive" from the Guilty Gear series solely on the logic that if Sol-Badguy is the fusion of the game's creator and Freddie Mercury, then his theme tune would also be a mixture of original music with the original - and then be in for quite the shock at how...retro-sounding 70's rock sounds? Well, that would be me, and let's face it - robbing people over a game that 'promotes' robbery and freaking out over a teenage actress' bare shoulder/upper back/upper torso are far more foolish.
