Overrated: Three Things that Carried Way to Much Hype:

Grand Theft Auto 4: Not complaining about the game in general, but there were a few niggling doubts about it’s suppose to have a nine point-something rating. A game that’s seems to carry the blood of being a lovechild of the gods of gaming should not bring up an ocean of doubt about legit stance to be a redefining game of the millennium. Grand Theft Auto 4—in my eyes—was not the holy grail of sandbox gaming, it was more of the same then anything, gust the run of the mill—an expensive mill—game that might’ve carried a huge amount of hype and a larger amount of denial from every critic who reviewed it. The game took a lot to make itself into a gaming form of some ultra expensive movie flick, but failed to realise a few important things: the driving was turned into a new challenge that constantly followed you throughout every mission and you actually had to wait traffic and pay at an actual tollbooths to go anywhere. A lot felt tacked onto an experience that seemed to be trying to prove itself “we can be a serious form of entertainment” or “we’re awesome to fuck with you Jack Thompson”. I support the latter.

University: The part of life in education comes across as a complete mix of requirement and a simple game of getting someone to hand over a certain amount of money that will entitle them to be given information in a form that extends itself over a number of years. Three to eight years of your life spent paying out a huge amount of money to be simply told something about it—I realise there are courses that must be taken, but the money part comes across as strangely pointless. Isn’t education given to those who want it—then why must it be so expensive?  

Twilight Series: Summed up: “Spits on every single element that makes vampires and turns them into bloody things of something—definitely not vampires”. Stephenie Meyer, go climb into a ditch and stay till you learn not to put pen to paper. Thanks to her, we’re going to have a generation of readers assuming vampires are fucking Edwards and not the classically awesome Dracula as played by Christopher Lee or the original classic.

Thought of the Day: November 4th:

I prefer to research anything I loathe with a passion. I wouldn’t want to go guns blazing without a level of knowledge towards it—at least with knowledge; no one can call you out for not knowing anything about it.
