Bad Video Games(Black Ops 2)

So, I recently bought Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. While playing the game I noticed a bunch of things about the game that I realized I hated and felt we're very sub par and executed poorly. For starters, the knifing in the game is absolutely horrendous, I will literally knife first and then all of a sudden I am the one dying which makes no sense at all. Next up are the games graphics which aren't any better then the original Black Ops graphics. Hell, Modern Warfare 2 and 3 have very noticeable graphical differences. Black Ops 2 and 3 look like they are both run on the same engine with absolutely no differences between the two graphically. Next up is the spawning which absolutely sucks major balls, I can't begin to tell you how many times I spawn right in front of someone with my back to them.
This last and final thing that pisses me off is a big one that has made it so I can't even play the damn game. It must be an error in the game that causes it to freeze because before it can even load the multiplayer screen it freezes and shows an error code in the top right corner of my screen that reads 22.0.-1which I have attached a picture of the error code to this blog as well.
This fucking error has made my sixty dollar purchase feel like the dumbest thing I have done in a while. Why the fuck are game company's like Activision releasing these games without finding out most of the major bugs that cause things like this. Let me break down why I think this is happening.
I changed my default game mode in the game to multiplayer which means that it immediately goes to the multilayer once the game loads up instead of me having to choose that from the original main menu. I believe that this is the culprit for the game freezing up on me and making it absolutely worthless.
I mean, haven't these company's learned anything from Bethseda's huge blunder with Skyrim and not fully testing that game as well? Not to mention Kingdoms of Amalor too.
All of these problems are stupid, we as consumers are paying top dollar for these games and getting sub par games that have barley been tested and result in us not being able to play said games and company's like Bethesda, Activision and EA not really giving a fuck about us because they have already recieved their money. I'm tired of it, I have given up on said company's. THEY don't care about us, all they care about is money and getting that money as soon and as fast as they can regardless of how broken their games are upon release. THAT'S A FACT!!!!

Have a good night.

Blogger Finally has an iPhone app

I'm so excited as I type this post out on my iPhone. I only wish that this app had come out sooner as I have always wanted some other way to post blogs then only being able to do it via my computer. I have a feeling that I will be using this a LOT!!!!! So be ready for that.

Indie Game and Zynga

So, I am sitting here watching Indie Game: The Movie and playing FarmVille 2 while drinking a beer.  To be honest, I am a bit bored.  This movie is actually really good, gives you a great insight on how the people developing these games feel during their process of making a game from scratch, the middle of it, the end product and all the shit that happens in between those three things.  The thoughts from the men in this movie are what intrigue me the most, the human aspect of not wanting to fail makes this movie a great movie.  All of the gentlemen in this movie have their hearts on their sleeves the whole time.  You are seeing a piece of them that only the closest people in their lives get to see, in retrospect...

you are seeing who they really are.

I'm loving it and in some way feel that I am connecting with them in some minute way, I know how they feel, they seem like people who I would get along with, people who are kindred spirits and I like that.

So onto the other thing that I mentioned at the top of this blog.  FarmVille 2 ugh.

I'm playing it right now as we speak, waiting for a dame got to finish it's allotted time limit so that I can harvest the milk from it's life giving tit because I have a challenge to finish with the milk that it gives, I NEED IT!!!  Zynga has once again found a way to make a horribly addicting game that will most likely draw in every house mom in the country and slowly suck the life out of all of them.  Something interesting has happened though and if I remember correctly Zynga recently has filed for bankruptcy and closed down their studios.  I feel bad for the people who worked there, the people who coded and did the art for it and just put all this time and effort into these games and who are now out of a job.  I hope that some how they will rise out of the ashes that were once Zynga these people can make something else, something awesome and something that I would someday want to play.

I think that I have babbled enough in this post, to be honest I feel strange and not really like my chipper self.  I'm off now, bey.

Supporting Some Awesome People

I am posting tonight to just bring some attention to some awesome web sites, youtube pages and just all around awesome people.  These are things that are must see and made by some of the most talented people that I know.  The first thing I want you to check out is:

website: http://willterrell.com/
Twitter: @willterrell
Instagram: willterrell
Will Terrell is a man who I am following on Twitter , Instagram and if he had a YouTube page then I would be subscribed to that as well.  I'm assuming that Will has an actual job some where but for the most part makes these awesome sketches which I'm sure he gets paid for in some way as well.  Ever since viewing this mans art and sketches I have begun to see people in the same way that he sketches them.  Often times thinking to myself, "how would Will Terrell draw that person.".  Followed by the image in my head and then a low chuckle once I finally have the mental image.  I wish that he had a Penny-Arcade type comic that he would put these people in, I'm sure it would do very very well.  Will is a person who has great talent when it comes to his style of art, I can not express to you how much I enjoy viewing what he creates.  It seems now that I am just talking him up to you(the viewer), but please, if you do one thing today that is out of your normal routine.  Make it viewing Will's site.  You wont regret it.

Next up on the old block is a friend of mine's YouTube page.  Here we go.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/superbadfilm?feature=results_main
I have a friend that I work with named Praseut Yang.  He created a YouTube page called SuperBadFilm which specializes in videos that are primarily in the Hmong language.  A lot of his videos have sub-titles as well, but he does have a few that do not.  Almost all of his videos deal with Hmong culture and the norms set upon them thru family traditions and what not.  His YouTube page is nothing short of amazing.  He has garnered over 4,000 subscribers and over a million views in the short time that Praseut has started his film company.  The editing on these videos is great as well and to be honest, Praseut has given me a ton of pointers when it comes to editing the videos that I make for my YouTube page.  He is a great friend and an equally great film maker.  So go check out his page today, don't forget to subscribe to it and watch some of the vids.  I'm sure that once you watch them you will be giving them "likes" as if they were going out of style^_^


So that's all, I feel really passionate about both of the people who I have mentioned in this blog.  Both are awesome people and have been able to make something that has meaning, value and substance in a world of people doing the same thing over and over again.  These pages deserve your views and you owe it to yourself to check something out that will most likely blow your mind.

Until next time.

Fantasy Football

So this is the first year I have ever participated in a fantasy football league, it has been good with the exception of me losing my first match up by 1 1/2 points which pissed me off sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.  As you can tell it's retarded.  As to the reasons why I lost, here goes.

Reason number 1: Eli Manning is a cock hungry man lover and was thinking about all the cock that he was going to eat and it distracted him so that he played like total garbage.

Reason number 2: Baltimore Ravens head coach decided to take Ray Rice out of the game with 11 minutes left to let the second string running back get some action.  Little did he know, I needed Rice to get more 1 1/2 more points in order to win my fantasy match up.  So, as you can guess...
The ravens head coach can go fuck him self and then get his dick chopped off for all I care.

Fuck your second string running back, I have a match up to win.

Anyways, this post was WAYYYYYYY graphic so sorry for that, but I hate to lose and tonight I lost which puts me in a shitty mood.

BEY!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, as a heads up, don't forget to check out my YouTube page at http://www.youtube.com/theflarida
I will most likely be posting a video tonight as well, so look froward to that.

Warrior

So, I just finished the movie Warrior.  Wow.  Movie was so amazing and epic.  Such a great story, drama, passion, suspense, action and pure emotion.  Warrior had it all.  At least two or three times during the movie I wanted to cry due to two brothers fighting with everything they had and a son having to console his drunken father.  Damn, this movie had everything a great movie should have.  Hands down one of my top five favorite movies of all time, HANDS DOWN!!!!!  I have to get this movie on Blu-Ray now, I would imagine that the special features that come with the movie would be just as epic as the movie itself, I want to know everything about this movie.

On a semi related note...

I love special features that come with the movie's I buy.

That is another reason why i generally only buy Blu-Ray's as well, they tend to come with a bit more in the special features department then a DVD does.  Take Forgetting Sarah Marshal for example.  The DVD had some awesome special features, however, the Blu-Ray had all of the DVD's special features along with like eight more things attached to it like a sing along with Infant Sorrow's songs.

Now back to Warrior.

If you haven't seen it yet then watch it as soon as possible, you will not regret it.

Anime Nerd

So, something wonderful has happened, something you could put right up there with Christmas and Birthdays.  What is happening is...

MY WIFE IS WATCHING NARUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have done it folks, I have made her into an anime nerd just like myself.  This took years and years of making her watch anime with me, it is now official, the battle has been won.  Although she is now watching Naruto I have gotten her to watch other anime's as well, these include Darker Than Black, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and other various anime's.  I feel like this is the real starting point folks, now I can finally introduce her to One Piece, Bleach and Initial D.  This could be chalked up to being one of the happiest days of my life.

Now if only I could get her to read Manga, then we would be set. ^_^(Asian smiley face)

What's your favorite anime, leave your answer in the comments below.  Have a good night.
