I just finished Jacob's Ladder. Fantastic movie that I would find myself rewatching.

Depression: If I had a song where I would walk into a bar depressed and try to drink it away, this would be it without question.(I don't drink though...) It's also what I used to listen to back when I decide to wander into the tearjerker section of tvtropes for a particular something I was looking through. I don't go there anymore, but having this song on repeat when reading something sad...guh.
Happiness: Do I need to say anything? Relaxed: It's strange how THIS song of all songs on this soundtrack relaxes me.
Pumped: This series always has toe tapping, blood pumping, ridiculous songs for their final fights. This is no exception.
Playful: Fast Paced and Playful, like the character it's attached to. Nostalgia: This song makes me tear up almost as much as Sprach Brooks. This series means quite a bit to me. I probably wouldn't have played that many games if not for it.
Righteous Anger/Aggression: Anything that sucks. Just kidding. There are a few songs that I enjoy that invoke some feeling of aggression/anger in a good way. But every time I hear this song, I see red and whatever stands before my character dies within a minute.

I just beat Silent Hill 1. My thoughts: It's a strange game. I found myself hoarding and avoiding enemies to the point where the final 1/3rd of the game was me shooting enemies that wouldn't leave me be. I only died once too. My rating wasn't that great because I saved too much and didn't kill much either, but that's not why I played. I played for the story and tension. There was some tension, but the music at times felt like it was about to drop a beat. Especially the songs that were trying VERY hard to make me tense like "Don't Cry" and "For All". I found myself dancing to these songs like a half-baked rap star. The story is good, but some of the lines and one of the characters didn't belong and ended up making it weaker in the end. Speaking of which, I got the best ending and regretted it once I realized that the one character I tried to care about...HAD NO character and was basically forgotten in the ether in the other games.
The production values are very high. It's a late PS1 title and it shows. The music is great, even though some of the tense songs were completely lost on me. Harry Mason is a real mothafuckin' G. Anything that crosses his path and gets in his way, gets lit up. Fo' Real.
All joking aside, I enjoyed it. Go play it.
Silent Hill 2 is up next. I heard that there is no good/best ending per say. After doing some light, completely non-spoiler research, I know which one I generally want to go for.

I'm mad because I didn't know about this until it was too late. Remember Swat Kats? That show that aired for a season and one or two episodes of season 2 before it was cancelled for being "too violent"...in 1994? Unlike most openings from that era, the animation and shadowing especially in the second season is what you get in the actual show. This show is incredibly 90's and I love every second of it. Now, they are making a revival. The initial goal is funded, but with 4 days left, there are a few stretch goals to be met. Check out the show, it's on DVD sold by demand on amazon.Check out the campaign, see what you think. Also if you have any memories with the original show, feel free to share them.

Bang your head against the wall over and over and it will eventually crumble. Seems legit. My day was dull and filled with some mild heart burn until this girl finally texted me back. Movie on Thursday now. The last outing was kind of dull towards the end, only because they wouldn't stop droning on about nothing. :S Time to play Silent Hill and round this day out.

Silent Hill 1. I feel tense, not necessarily scared just yet. I made it to the middle school. Then again, I'm playing on Easy. I've only found the need to shoot one enemy so far. With these controls though? I still hate dogs. Are you going to play the other ones in the series? Yep.

I was really hoping to make this thread myself when the Indiegogo campaign actually starts next month. Oh well. I'm very interested in this and so is my friend who's mostly ambivalent to crowdfunders.

I am now certified in CPR and with use of an AED.
Mom made fried fish, shrimp, and fries for dinner. I also decided that I will finally tackle the Silent Hill series done by Team Silent.(Meaning 1-4)
Should be fun. Still wasn't called for the Security interview yet, but if I hear nothing by Thursday, I will call myself.

I want a garden or greenhouse. Or a rooftop. I know that would be weird for a castle, but I think that would be pretty cool.

I started out by watching Korra season 4. I'm not really liking Korra as a whole as much as everyone else. It's not as tightly written as the last Avatar show, for both good reason and not as good. I was called about a security job offer. I did the phone interview. I'm waiting on the call for the normal interview.
I then went on to play Kingdom Hearts Final Mix HD. I'm doing my best to cut down on as much cleanup as possible.(Going back and getting items)
I finally watched The Host(2006) with my bro. We were disappointed. It was ok, but there were too many things that stuck out that made no sense and didn't work as a sort of style choice. We wanted to like it, but it left us cold.
Tomorrow, I learn CPR. Wish me luck.

Take an Atlus game of recent memory on the 3DS. Add 10 bucks. The Atlus tax.

I was gonna come back and say Legend of Legacy. It's the spiritual successor of the SaGa franchise. It has a pedigree involving former Square Employees who worked on Saga, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger and Cross. You play as 7 characters. Rather than the typical linear progression, from what I'm reading it will give you a vague goal at the beginning and you'll have to figure out how to progress on your own. It had only just come out and I figured I'd be waiting a while. Then I heard about its announcement for the states today. It's getting a first print edition published by Atlus, and the bonus? No Atlus tax. The announcement that I finally saw was here.The only thing I would add to this battle system are team attacks.

I booted up Max Payne. So far, I am NOT getting the red ass. I died about 4 times though. It's been ages since I've played. I'm enjoying it as much as I used to. It's been so long since I've used a quick save feature. I quickly had to get used to using it. Feels good to not have checkpoints. It also feels good to explore and be rewarded for exploring...in a shooter! I stopped playing because I was feeling queasy.
I played a bit of Resident Evil 4. I found myself using both lame and kind of awesome tactics to conserve ammo and be safe. That entire village sequence, I was planning to stealth it. However when I took that alternate path to go to the back, before I even got close to a wooden house, I was caught. I had to double back and knife kick mooks with the occasional bullet. Once that was over, I raided the village for supplies. I stopped playing because I was feeling queasy.
I wonder what it is about me feeling queasy. I'm a little squeamish, but I can handle those games and more. Maybe it's motion sickness? Something I ate earlier? The fact that I didn't eat? Hmmm...

I quite like the alternate trailer. Gives it a sense of mystery and whimsy.
It looks nice and all, but at the end of the day how it plays is what I'll be looking at.

I love Final Fantasy 5, but when I'm in situations like this it causes me to shut the game off.
Then again, if there is one thing the RNG goddess hates more than anything in the universe, it's my existence.

You know, one time a guy got on my case for not pirating a game to try it out.(After getting on my case about my name at the time Bleachlover01, which had nothing to do with the cartoon if you could believe it.) I was on a romscout live stream. He seriously could not fathom my reasoning for buying an Ace Attorney game on faith. A game without a demo and a series that I wouldn't dream of pirating, unlike about 1/3 of the current fanbase. He even called me an idiot for doing so. I'm all for demos, but forcing a demo through piracy? Yeah, no. Dude was a jerk anyway, but that conversation sticks to my mind to this day.
That's enough of that anecdote. I try demos when I can. I also take my friend's recommendations very seriously, so if I followed that guy's logic then Ghost Trick and 999 wouldn't have had my business.
The most recent examples of me buying a game because of a demo off the top of my head is Freedom Planet and the original Bayonetta.
A recent example of me not buying a game because of a demo would be Regina Hope, Banzai Pecan, and Fuse. That last one was already a betrayal in my opinion. The lackluster gameplay and presentation just cinched it.

First, I'd like to extend a hearty middle finger to Gawker for leaking the original script. Tarintino still has every right to sue them and still can.
Second, this could be the LONGEST Mexican Standoff in film history. We'll see what happens.
Third, this movie looks fun and you can bet that I'm going to see it.
