Unfortunately blogger will no longer support FTP access to my sstwo.net account. Normally I love the fuck out of google, but these days they’re starting to piss me off. Anyhow, vote with your feet I say. So I’m walking away from blogger. Not that I have a choice….

dads birthday is 7th march 1942.

i think they lost the plot. I hope they dont sing any songs about how they’re the same as before.

Welcome to the world chloe wong .

I’m now uncle sow heh

as ninja gaiden sigma 2 is just released on the markets, my trials and tribulations with ninja gaiden sigma 1 have just started. I tried firing up the game a couple of months ago and after playing and failing the “tutorial levels” i said fuck this and threw it back in the pile. months later , my OCD kicked in when i was finished ratchet and clank for the 3rd time just so i could get all the goodies and level all the weapons, i think hey lets give ninja gaiden a try. this is a good sign to abusive traitorous bitches out there, as I’ll probably forgive( thats a stretch maybe forget) the transgressions of the past. and I’ve been working at ninja gaiden for hours. It’s a really long game, not drawn out because of it’s elaborate plot twisty plot or well fleshed out character building, but merely because the sadistic fucking game developers decided it would to make the act of opening a door an entire fucking hours worth of game play. don’t get me wrong. ninja gaiden sigma is a good game but if i had to describe ninja gaiden in a 10 words, I’d use the word’s :-

A)fucking
B)stupidly
C)hard

over and over to string a sentence. The people who made ninja gaiden are fucking sadist, and the development life cycle probably goes from conceptualisation, testing and asking is it hard enough until they reach a final “yes it is hard enough” , before they proceed to make the game even more difficult one last time. The gamers who play the game? the all look like this

And even though there are times this is an exercise in patience from me putting my fist through the television, it is a fun game. Really it is. It’s an old school platformer, same stupid difficulty, same mindless fun. I want to think that developers are not just evil cunts, they want to make a game that was a throwbck to old skool NES style gaming. but the truth is theyre all evil cunts. die you fuckers.

depite all that verbal diarhhea, writing this piece about ninja gaiden made me shit myself.

funny fucker gif which i know i shouldn’t post.

No, i don’t mean it’s not a fun game or anything, it’s just really fucking addictive. I could play that shit all year round. It’s like some form of electric crack. Btw, im a level 17 undead warlock. Banging! . That’s probably something I won’t be doing if i keep playing WOW. So far the weekend hasn’t been a total loss just yet and I have been doing some normal outside activities. Like i watched a movie! alone! Again! and when you can do that without feeling like a loser, it’s the bottom of the barrel really. But it’s a good thing i didn’t drag anyone to watch the surrogates with me. it was painful. You’d think a movie about people living through surrogate robots would be awesome, but i had to fight this overwhelming urge to leave in the last 10 minutes. I just really didnt care about the characters at all, or the big plot crux *spoiler* that bruce willis wanted to hook up with his wife in the flesh*spoiler*.

Oh I also finished mirrors edge last night. I mean after 6 months, the deed is done. It felt like a real chore playing the game. I mean the idea for the game is great, pretending to be some roof jumping free running monkey, doing wall jumps and all that. It’s just marred by execution. If the idea of the game is to run free like a wild deer on the rooftops, why was there so much emphasis on fighting? Sure there needed to be some sort of push factor, like a reason to feel “rushed” but it should always just be the policemen behind the door instead of in your path. The other thing was the game engine.Graphically it was great. Gameplay wise, not so. The engine is really rigid in what it’ll accept as jumpable/climbable/reachable. I hope there will be a mirrors edge 2. With the problems fixed though, and more running and chaining combos. That and some nudity. It always helps.

im downloading world of warcraft. eletric crack

one of those things i cant spell right for the life of me is tattooo and tabbacco. taht and misssisipi. but no one really cares about the latter. its neither cool nor can you smoke it.
anyhow i think i should revive the blog as i was reading some old entry. buddhha was spot on when he said that njothing last forever. not even the concept of @you@. the you of today is not the same you of tomorrow. as part of this blog.i can track up to the me of 4 years ago. which is pretty nifty. infact ican go as far back as 2003 and htats 6 years!

was at the tattoo convention today which was aweoms, i really enjoyed it i dont know why. sure i had no friends, i didnt get a tttoo but the crowd itself was so…enjoyable. the people just doing their own shit being strange and freaky. comforting to know that though im strange, i dont wear it outwardly

speaking of blogs. i wonder. i do write some really bad politically incorrect stuff. i mean what if i was to run for office in -zakstan? they could dig up all this dirt on me

Terminator fucking salvation. Thought I’d start my entry with some cussing, it normally implies some sort of angsty-ness associated with passion or some other emotion. But really, I’ve been looking forward to this movie for the past couple of months especially since watching terminator the sarah connor chronicles. See I spend the weekend on the internet watching TTSCC and after having my mind blown away by it, i get online monday in a TV marathon induced hazed to find out when I can continue my addiction only to find that fox announces on monday that it’s discontinuing it’s contract for TTSCC. Like what the fuck, of all the bad timing coincidences, the day after I finish? But I digress, this was about terminator salvation, not the fuck awesome TTSCC which got prematurely shut down due to a bunch of cock suckers.

So terminator, where was I. Ohyes, since I’ve a simple mind, I’ll break it up into, good and bad :-

Good
- The action was good. Especially as a big nerd to see all those flying things and giant robots.
- The effects. But I might be coloured by my nerdiness. See above
- The idea of the story, not the actual plot and how it played out.
- CG ARRRNIEEEE ! Except I think this model is a tad bit tall.
- Sam worthington’s portrayal

Bad
- The writing was pretty bad, which I’ll get to in a minute.

You’d think with just 1 bad point, this’ll be a winner, but it’s not , not really. The dialogue was kind of weak at certain points, with a lot of pseudo philosphizing. Some parts where quite cheesy, toward the end as well. My first opinion when i started watching was the opening sequence in death row was a unnecessary , especially that part with cyberdyne logo at the top of the release form, like it was trying to set an ominious tone but in a very obvious manner.. The one other bit I’d change was how it started with an explanation of what skynet is and what was going on. Would probably have been better as a cleverly worded monologue from john connor as resistance leader indicating his role as the voice of the resistance and also to give a little backplot to the audience who are new to the series. Now I’m going out on a limb here, but i was hoping that John connor dies at the end of the movie. That and how marcus takes up his role and identity as john connor and as voice of the resistance. The beauty would be there’d be little continuity issues.

About the problems with time travel. and this will get plenty nerdy.
If john is exist, this means that kyle reese goes back in time to hook up with his mom , which implies that john will survive to be the eventual leader of the resistance and john wouldnt be sending back jailbait. What this means is, that whatever apparent danger john is in, we know it will unfold for the best, because his existance proves he will live long enough to send kyle back. So whatever happens, John must do as it’s supposed to unfold. A bit of a predetermination issue. OR the alternative is :-

The terminator’s know that killing kyle will have no effect on the current time line, which why he was put in a posh jail cell to lure John in instead of being killed. In effect the war can only be won here and now. Which would be strange because skynet KEEPS FUCKING SENDING MACHINES BACK IN TIME.

Lets say for example that kyle or john dies during this altercation, both will have the same outcome of john not being born. Which will mean that the outcome of the war as we know it is different as john will have taken no part in it. So all events leading up to the death of john or kyle in the altercation will probably(could still) not happen. Which implies that the which ever death it was, is unlikely to have happened to cause this current sequence of events.

Just a loop though, we know that john is the great leader of the resistance, causing strife for skynet and this and that. His survival in the past will lead mankind to where they are now. However, there is also the possiblity that john’s death would have leader to an alternate yet positive outcome which we don’t actually know about. In effect, mankind in the terminator series has locked itself in a potentional disastrous outcome.
