I Like To Play Games That Take No Skill To Play

Thursday, October 30th, 2008 by Matt

Right, so Nintendo really fucked up this generation. I mean, sure they sell out every month, but it’s slap in the face of actual gamers.

Wii Music is the latest from Nintendo’s asshole. Miyamoto or whatever is fucking name is even admitted to it not being a game. Oh great, then how come I am paying 59.99 for it, if it is not a game. If it is not a game then what is it? An application? What Wii Music actually is, is a lump of shit that Nintendo can still sell millions of copies of. How? Through clever marketing; targeting idiots who are too stupid to play Guitar Hero.

The game actually has a brilliant concept, play music the way you want to play it, not the way it is written. While this all sounds good on paper it fails horribly in the actual structure. You see, Wii Music has notes that you “have” to hit, then notes that you can play in between all of them. Sure you could be a creativefuck and make something good. However I can easily beat your highscore by just jacking off the Wiimote, like I can will all other Wii games.

What’s really funny is one time I was waiting in line in Popeyes while this kid is talking to his mom beside me about Wii Music. He was holding a copy of it in his hand and was to his mom “MOM, IT SUPPORTS UP TO FOUR PEOPLE, THAT MEANS WE CAN ALL PLAY WITH EACHOTHER” after the kid said that, he was already tired. This fat fuck got tired from talking, I can’t imagine him even playing a Wii. Right when he said that I thought to myself, isn’t the point of the Wii to play with friends/family, of course a first party game would do that. Just when I thought this fat bastard couldn’t get any more stupid, he did. He later said “OH YOU CAN CREATE MUSIC VIDEOS THEN SEND THEM TO YOUR FRIENDS.” Now, this was the first time I heard of this feature but it seems reaaaally gay. I don’t want to see a video of your stupid Mii avatars playing some shitty music.

Adding to the shitty music, the tracklist of Wii Music is fucking terrible. A small selection of Nintendo tracks then a bunch of crappy public domain songs. Jeez, you pay 59.99 for a “game” that’s not a game, and it doesn’t even have real songs on it. Hell if I wanted to play a shitty public domain song I could easily pick up a flute or a keyboard, and play it. Also, I can also play it like a creativefuck and add extra notes. Wii Music thought me it doesn’t have to sound right, you just have to throw in a bunch of random notes and the song will sound better.

I am not hating on the Guitar Hero or Rock Band here, they are both good games. Wii Music is a piece of shit.

iFailAtOriginality

So if you read my blog you probably know how much I hate Apple for it’s marketing. One thing that Apple is doing is trying to own the “i.” The first use of the i by Apple was with the iMac, which stood for Internet Mac because apperently it was easy to set up internet on. Later we got the iBook, the iPod, iPhone, iLife, and iWork. Most of these names do not make any sense as up untill recently the iPod didn’t have internet, iWork has nothing to do with Internet and neither does iLife. A bunch of third party companies tried to cash in on the “i” but some of them ended up being sued, for using a prefix.

Now, Apple pissed me off enough, but a bunch of hipster-fucks believe it is cool to make a parody of the iPod commercial and instead of having an iPod having something like iFuck. Wow, you are so fucking creative, I guess that’s why you bought a Mac. I guess inorder to be cool I have to make one too, enjoy.

Fuck the Joker

Sunday, October 26th, 2008 by Matt

So with Halloween coming up I can see a lot of hipster fucks dressing up as the Joker from Batman. To them I say, fuck you you’re not original. A thousand of other people will do the same thing as you. I don’t give a fuck if you actually have the suit that was used in recording. I also don’t give a fuck about Heath. His role was decent, and then he killed himself. Like him so much? Go fucking watch Brokeback Mountain and dress up like a cowboy.

Also, why the hell did Motorhead remove “and don’t forget the Joker” from the ‘08 version of Ace of Spades?

Racisms Got You Scared Shitless

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 by Matt

Fuck racism, it has become such a large deal that people’s lives are in fear because of it. All this talk about acceptance and shit are retarded. There is a great King of the Hill quote to go along with this. “What the hell kind of country is this if I can only hate a man if he’s white? “

It’s true as fuck, hating an Asian who acts like an asshole is racist. Hating a white guy who acts like an asshole is nothing. Who ever invented the hate crime law is definitely a retard. Sure, there are some people who hate a man because he is black, there are people who hate whites, the list goes on. My point is there shouldn’t be a hate crime law because everything can be considered a hate crime. There is a great episode of South Park that shows this. Watch ‘Chef Goes Nanners.’

Adding in the previous point, calling someone “the black guy” is also racist. There is a great MadTV skit about this called Race Ghost (yes, alot of TV references here.) This is insanely retarded. If someone asks you who lost their wallet in class and you respond with “the black guy” it’s racist. For fucks sake, he’s the only black guy in the class, it really narrows it down. The news also tries to avoid saying things like “the suspect was black” and instead they say “dark complextion” OH DEAR, THAT’S REALLY DIFFERENT.

What’s also really sad is how sometimes people fall into the stereotype of their race. WELL, maybe people wouldn’t stereotype you if you didn’t do that shit. Some people seem to believe that if it’s the stereotype then it is acceptable to do something like that. This is not only about race, blondes and gays also do the same thing. They fit the fucking stereotype so well and they actually get OFFENDED when you stereotype them.

Now, what brought this whole rant up is Little Big Planet getting delayed due to two sentences of the Qua’ran being the soundtrack of it. Now the guy who make the song was fucking Muslim and HE didn’t get offended. So the guy who complained had the game EARLY, he’s probably still fucking playing it. Yet he caused the game to get delayed. Sony fucking fell down to this one persons demands because of some fucking fear of some Muslim attack or something. Point is, if people are this crazy about religion they can go fuck themselves.

HOLY FUCK YOU SOLD OUT!

Saturday, October 18th, 2008 by Matt

I heard it all the time, cries of how bands “sold out” or “gone commercial.” It is mostly taken out of context. A band release a CD you don’t like and you, with a limited musical vocabulary have to use phrases like “sold out.”

Example, on Youtube for the new Edguy song ‘Ministry of Saints’ (haven’t heard of them? Thought so) there are several comments on how Tobias (singer) went commercial with the songs. Gone commercial? You will never hear this on the radio (at least in North America) with Europe you have a chance, but it is slim. Either way, it will never make the top 40 countdown or whatever.

It’s a shame really, there’s so much unheard music out there and some of it is pretty good. Most people rely on “hit songs” in order to expand their library. Now, apparently once the artist that releases a “hit song” comes out with a new one that’s not a hit, the audience claims he sold out. Ohh how wonderful. A perfect example of this would be Metallica, having already been a popular band, fans of the old shit claim them to have sold out.

Now is selling out really that bad anyways? This is not punk music, music these days isn’t usually about boycotting the company or government. If a band signs to a large record label it shouldn’t be considered a bad thing, though to some it is. Listen, as long as the band continues to produce kick ass music I will still follow them. I do not have any objection to a band making MORE MONEY for them to have BETTER RECORDING, and have BETTER MANAGEMENT, so they could have BETTER TOURS, and CHEAPER PRICES on their CDs.

If the band takes a new direction after signing a contract, and you don’t like it anymore, though luck. If the band truly went a step in the wrong direction it will see it’s mistake and correct it. If they don’t correct it and are selling millions of CDs, then they are CLEARLY doing something right. Don’t blame them for your musical tastes.

In short, selling out is not bad, unless you are a hipster fuck and believe commercialism is evil. If a band “sold out” but can still produce kick ass music that I enjoy I will continue to support them.
