Moving day is coming up

Fuck this apartment complex. I can't wait to move this weekend. Of course it will suck because I'm sure all my so-called friends will suddenly evaporate when it's time. Nevermind I've helped just about all of them move at some point. Some more than once. But I'm done with that shit. I'm just happy to be moving. Even if I have to move everything by myself. Even the heavy shit:
Nobody gets my sense of humor. Such a lonely place this world is, tisk.

Saddam's sweet-ass ride

I just read that a US reservist has had the vehicle he purchased in Iraq taken from him by ICE. I guess they were treating the vehicle as a war trophy due to the rumors it possibly belong to Saddam. All I have to say about it is I can't blame him, or Saddam for that matter. It's a white Mercedes that is armor plated, bulletproof, has hidden microphones and a loudspeaker. But that isn't what makes it so cool. Get this, it also has several pipes along the side that shoot flames. Flames! That is awesome. Kind of like Spy Hunter or something. All it needs are oil slicks. I don't know or want to know in which situation he felt like he might need to use them but hey, either way that is cool. Or hot... Which ever.

Dan's Saikyo Dojo

Kore ga saikyo ryu. I received a weird email yesterday and I'm not sure what to make of it. It was from a member of M80 and was in regards to the release of the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology. Honestly, I have been behind in my gaming and I didn't even know they were making an anthology. I'm still kind of mad that they didn't include a version of alpha in the 15th Anniversary Collection. That and the "uncut" movie was actually the cut version but that is a different story. But the sender of the email was wondering if I would be interested in posting a press release or a review since I would be a "reputable influencer". Maybe if Capcom can come up with a reason why Ryu still doesn't have his red headband. But the problem with me being a good source would mean that people would actually have to read my blog, which I know for a fact that people don't. I could probably count the comments since I started this thing on one hand. Either way, I guess I'll get in touch with the sender and see what they had in mind. Yoga...

All ways are the Queens ways

So I went to play Halo with my cousins Friday and when I arrived, Alex was playing Kingdom Hearts II. Visually the game is pretty awesome even though the fights seem very long. The final boss has about five life bars. But it was cool to see the rose thorn effects floating in the air as he darted around, Dragonball Z- like. After seeing the ending I had to start again on the first installment. I really want to know how it goes from the Keyblade choosing Sora to the ending in II and the preview of III. Games are like books to me and when I start one, even if it's not that great, I still want to know how it ends.

It's coming along...Slowly

Way back, I said I would post some in-progress pictures of my current project. Well here is the initial sketch and a few pics that show the progression up to now.

And,

which leads to what it looks like today, where I am currently.

I'm never going to finish at this rate. I've been working, half-assed I must admit, since about October on this. Good googley moogley.

TGIF

I just finished looking through Sedgwick Co's most wanted and thankfully I didn't see anyone I knew. I was thinking maybe I would at least see one person, but no. No one I know as of now. There are some interesting people on there. I'm just that bored. The workday that will never end...

Stupider like a fox

Well he's done it again. Remember when he said he wouldn't release the original versions of the Star Wars Trilogy? Well he's going to. And he knows we will buy it. Even if we already broke down and bought the "special edition" release. He knows us better than we do. That sneaky son of a bitch. I'm more angry because I have no choice but to buy the originals, which will include the "special editions" that nobody wanted. He's got us coming and going. Sometimes it sucks being a fan.

Apparently memories can be deadly

I'm finally writing about Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and let me just say Sephiroth is scary. I remember people who didn't particularly care for him saying things like " Why does everyone like him, all he really did was walk through some fire and hide in the crater for most of the game." He was also rather easy to beat at the end of the game if you knew how to fight him. But with all the criticism, the creators responded with his cameo in the battle arena in Kingdom Hearts, to which most people have verified that he is damn-near unbeatable. I can't say for myself since I haven't played too much of it and I know people who have beaten him, but either way, regardless of what people think, in the Final Fantasy world Sephiroth is bad news. And in the movie he proves it. I was a little put off by how hard it is to follow some of the action but after seeing it the second time it was a bit easier. The tag team on Bahamut is one of the best and it gives you an idea how tight the whole crew is, sealing in concrete for me that they are my favorite Final Fantasy cast. And undeniably this was a real Final Fantasy, instead of the CGI science-fiction movie they tried to pass off as one a few years back(The Spirits Within). I don't really understand why it didn't have a theatrical release like the other flop, since people who played the game can relate to the characters because it was a sequel to the Playstation game that really brought Final Fantasy into the mainstream. Most people these days ,especially those with gaming consoles in their homes will have some knowledge of the series, even if they never play one of the games. But maybe it didn't have enough financial muscle behind it, or if it did open in theaters in Japan, maybe it didn't do so hot. Whatever the reason, it's still pretty sweet.
