Super Smash Brothers - Question BoxOctober 27, 2011 by

I'm gonna be talking about a few delicate topics here, like my opinion on certain games, so please remember this is my opinion and go easy on me 'kay? ;)

 

So... Nintendo announced that it would be developing a new SSB for the upcoming console, the WII U and the now 7 months-old  3DS. They didn't give much detail about it, they just said it'd be cross-compatible. Now this brings some questions to mind, like:

1) Just how much cross-compatible will they be? I mean... The Wii U will be a Full HD machine. An all-out tank of pure raw graphic awesomeness, and considering the statements made by Nintendo at E3 this year, probably way more powerful than any current generation console (I have to clarify that graphics really don't matter to me at all, but the implementation of Full HD makes any game regardless of their graphic engine, look beautiful). So can the 3ds really take all of that? I mean... We all know the 3ds is quite a powerful piece of equipment... but it is in no way, capable of handling HD... which leads to the next question.

2) Will they be the same SSB Games? or different ones with certain compatible aspects?... I think both options are good ideas, with pros and cons. On one hand, we 'd have the same game on both consoles, which would be great because you could not only play the game anywhere you go, but if you had both the 3ds AND the Wii U version, you could update either of your saves by simply by making the synch. Also, imagine playing with your own characters and earning points for your own game (to win trophies and coins and stuff) even while playing in a friend's house with his console. But this could get troublesome if you consider that the Wii U would have to adapt the graphics so the 3DS can handle them, and since to me, graphics aren't the most important thing in a game... It'd still be cool to see SSB take full advantage of the Wii U's power, like it has on previous titles (you know SSB graphics rock on every console). OOON the other hand, you have that the games are different and that's also cool!. We all know how ass kicking these games are... so instead of only 1 SSB, you get 2 completely different SSB experiences, with different adventure modes, different characters (I know, we'll get there, be patient!) and different features! Don't know about you, but I think that idea is double-awesome. But as everything, it has downsides. For instance... If it was so, you'd probably wouldn't be able to have access to any of the other great features I named before... and probably be stuck with some stupid cross-compatible game-mode or like stuff you could only achieve by synchronizing both games like new trophies or pics, or whatever boring absolutely unnecessary feature. Or even worse, imagine at some point, it WAS necessary to make the synch to have the full experience... It certainly HAS been done before, like in Pokemon Battle Revolution... when I read I needed to actually own both a DS and a Pókemon DS game to play the full game and be able to do stuff you should be able to do (like... I don't know... CHOOSING MY FUCKING POKÉMONS) I was really let down, since I don't really like handheld Pókemon games that much, and I was certainly not going to waste any time or money on it. Returning to the issue at hand (sorry for the little rant, I've had that on my conscience for 2 years now u_u), other features like using your 3ds as a controller, would indeed appeal and sound interesting to impressionable gamers at first, but I doubt it'd be comfortable or even well implemented, so It'd be a feature I wouldn't even consider using.

3) This question is a lot happier because it's probably the one every one of us is wondering: What new awesome characters will the game feature? *-*

I'm gonna leave this one to you ;) I'm releasing another blog post a little bit later today (gotta work on it, people) about the characters I would like to see and some other.... surprises bwahahahaha *sudden stop of awkward evil laugh

Godspeed! :D

Unrelated (Original Story) Chapter 1October 25, 2011 by

I had an illusion. An illusion that I could go out tonight and I'd be safe... That the lights of the city would dazzle me and make me feel alive. That everything was ok. That no matter what happened, I'd fly away and breathe... Breathe whatever came. I had an illusion that I was happy, that life was good.

I stepped outside from the building I had been working in. It was a gorgeous night. I felt strange, euphoric, alive. Just like that time in Madrid, where the night was lighted by the heart of the city. Nothing would touch me, nothing could. Music played in my mind as an orchestra from heaven itself, filling me up with lust for life. Everything I did made sense. Every step I took was a delightful preface to the next. Everything would be just fine.

I had an illusion and it was beautiful... But illusions tend to have a sense of humor. They can break and fall and die, taking you with them in a blink of an eye and all it takes is for you to be in the right place, at the right time. I had an illusion.... and it killed me.

 

It makes no sense without starting at the beginning. May 3rd 2005: The night in the Hospital

I was recruited while I was still half way through my policeman studies. Mi now mentor and personal trainer, Mark, came to see me for the first time at the hospital. I got involved in a knife fight with a classmate after I exposed him for selling drugs around the campus. The little bastard didn't know what the hell he was doing, but sharp toys are still sharp, and I earned myself a nice slash to the gut for the trouble. 'Twas nothing, but the doctor insisted that I take a couple of days off campus so my wound would heal properly.

"C'mon doc... you know how I feel about hospitals". He looked at me with that face people make when they know you long enough to know you're full of shit.

"I can't have you running around on training exercises and opening up your stitches now, can I?" he said while checking my charts

"Gee, doc. Since you put it like that, I might just stick around" I lied down in my bed, arms on the back of my head.

"Rick... I'm gonna ask for protection. I'm forbidding any visitors who aren't directly related to you"  I raised my head a bit to look at him

"And just how will I get my homework done?" I said sarcastically. The doc didn't like it.

"Very funny Rick. You know very well, that guy's customers back at the academy could come and finish the job. Now why don't you stop being such a smart-ass and sleep?"I laughed a bit and laid my head back

"Good night doc. Thanks for checking up on me" he turned around half way out of the room.

"Hey, I'm the one who had to tell your mother, so don't you dare thank me". He closed the door to me laughing out loud.

Those few hours of sleep were the best I'd get in years. I woke up suddenly, like I just had a nightmare. My head hurt like somebody had played soccer with it. In my disorientation I hadn't noticed the guy sitting next to me.

"Good morning Rick. Sleep well?" I was burying my aching head on my hands, like holding it would make the pain go away.

"Yeah, like the sleeping fucking beauty. Who the hell are you? And where is the Doctor?" He reached me a glass

"You might want to have a drink". He said.

I was thirstier than ever. I emptied the glass in a single drink. I tried to look around, but my vision was blurred. "Now, you'll feel like crap for the next few minutes, but it'll pass over time". he told me as I rubbed my eyes.

"You haven't answered my question" I said.

"Impatient as ever. I work for a certain organization. My superiors have taken interest in your skills and they've sent me to collect you" I felt the urge to laugh, but I contained myself.

"Organization?" I said with my hands still all over my face trying to make shake the pain."I think you've got the wrong Idea dude. I'm just a guy who wants to be a cop" he replied so fast it almost seemed like he new what I was gonna say.

"No, you're just a guy who wants to make a difference but is stupid enough to think he actually can achieve it by becoming a cop"

I was angry. I felt like shit and he wasn't helping. "What the fuck do you know? You don't know the first fucking thing!" I heard a sheet of paper as if he was reading something.

"Your name is Richard Trip Jr. A.K.A Rick. Your mother was a house maid and your father was the decorated cop Richard Trip Senior, who died investigating a classified case when you were 15. Your dad gave you a Golden Retriever at age 10 who you named Bust and who died five years ago, and you wanted to be a Lawyer until your father died. Then you decided you wanted to be a policeman, saying that you wanted to follow his steps, though your real intentions are to have access to the case file your father was assigned to. You've had 3 girlfriends named Katie, Hanna and Becca. You're also the top student on every subject back at the academy, including Critical Thinking".

I heard the story of my life with stuff I had never told anybody as it was written in a piece of paper. My vision was still a bit blurry, but I could notice there was something weird about the room. "Who are you really?" I asked

"I'm the guy who is giving you a real chance to make a real difference. I'm the guy who has access to this sort of information, and I'm the guy who can tell you that I just might he in the liberty to give you access to that file you want so much, if you come with me" It all sounded too good to be true.

"What's the catch?" I said

"You abandon who you are. You leave your life behind and never come back... Not that you have that much to come back to".

I scratched the back of my head. "What about my mother?". My sight was coming back to me. I was right about the room. It was a different one. The guy I was talking to was in his middle forties. Had a scar on his lip and a folder with my name on his hand. He was dressed with a suit.

"She'll be taken care of. She'll never need another penny, you can be sure of that. But she'll think you're dead, pretty much like everybody else". I looked at him. I was a pretty good bullshit detector even without my perfect sight, and he looked more serious and true than anyone I ever met. And there was the file to consider.

"Alright... Count me in. When do I die?" I said with a slight mocking gesture.

"You already have. Last night one of the buyers from that dealer you caught burnt your room to the ground with you inside. By now you must have been Identified by your dental work and declared dead". He said with his same blank expression.

"What the hell? What if i'd said no?" He closed my file and leaned closer to me.

"Kid... do you really think we'd approach you if we thought you'd say no?" I remained silent for a moment.

"You gonna tell me whats that organization you work for?" He leaned back as he put my file away and crossed his legs.

"This organization is as secret as it gets we're called Special Weapons for Efficient Enforcement Power (S.W.E.E.P.). The name kinda fits. When we have a situation, we go in, we sweep the place, and get out without leaving any trace we were ever there."

He got up and walked to the door to his right. "Now, rest up. Tomorrow you'll start your training"

While my wallet gently weepsOctober 25, 2011 by

EDIT: For those who don't know, It's an adaptation from "While my Guitar Gently weeps" by The Beatles (George Harrison"

An adaptation of a great classic... By me ;)

Just a song to reflect my feelings. Now, I write songs a lot, but I'm not a professional, so cut me some slack xD

 

While my wallet gently weeps

I look at you all

games of love, games of dreaming

I Look at the store

I don't know why

I've got no money

Gears 3 Came out, oh love

Oh second hands

Someone played with you

They bought and sold you

(Thank god)

 

I look at retail

And I see Battlefield 3

while my wallet gently weeps

 

Uncharted is there

who would dare, be so tempting

but still my wallet gently weeps

 

Deus Ex is Out

Batman I need you

Catherine I want you too

I don't know how

to live without you

Can't wait for Skyward too.

 

I look at you all
