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.

Blockbuster Movie Rentals

Hello everyone, how are you this evening.  I'm good, just typing, NOW ON TO THE INFO.

I'm here to talk to you tonight about Blockbuster, yes, the movie rental store and yes, we do have a Blockbuster card.  So, we have the Blockbuster movie pass, basically it is the Blockbuster version of Netflix. To be honest I like the Blockbuster movie pass, it allows us to get a movie by mail and when we are done watching that movie we can take it to a Blockbuster and get a new movie right away for free, after we are done with that movie then we take it back to Blockbuster and we get the next movie on our Que sent to us.  This is what I really like about it, you basically can get two movies right away if you watch them fast enough.  Well, that is what I like about it, but there is really one flaw in their whole movie renting game, and here it is.

OH MY LANTIS!!!!!!!!

So, there it is, you can not do anything but watch the DVD or Blu-Ray that you get.  This pissed me off when I found out about this because I am an avid fan of watching the special features of a movie, sometimes that is one of the main reasons why I even get the movie, especially on Blu-Ray since they seem to come with more special features then a DVD.  So basically when you rent a movie from Blockbuster, this is what you get, just a movie and it bugs me.

Now, I know I may seem retarded for letting this get on my nerves since technically you aren't paying full retail price, you are only paying about maybe 20-25% of what the actual movie is worth if you rent it from the store. So it isn't so far fetched that they would do this.  But come on!  What gets me the most heated is that they are joining forces with these movie company's to make sure that you don't get the full experience and that you have to go out and buy the whole movie to see everything included with the movie.  I don't know about you but I don't really go out and buy a bunch of movies, especially after I have seen them.  The only time I get a movie is when I really really loved it, and even then I feel like I am wasting my money to an extent due to the fact that I can probably just get it off of my Netflix or Blockbuster pass.  I don't know, it just seems like the lengths they are going to to make sure we don't get to see everything is a bit out of hand, almost to the point of seeming like they are taunting me for the fact that I don't have the actual movie in my movie library at home.

What do you think about this?  Am I over reacting or is this something that I should be mad about?

Well, that is all for tonight, I know that the last two blogs have been more of info/ranting, I promise that the next blog I write will be more upbeat and actually happy.

Until next time.

First Class is Over and MW3

So today was pretty much the last day of my Tennis class.  On my written final i got an 80%, not bad for not studying a single day for it.  Its just that our teacher went over everything that we needed to know so much that it all sunk in.  There are two more classes but to be honest I don't think that they really matter, I doubt it will effect my grade by that much so i have decided to not go.

I have been playing Modern Warfare 3 since about yesterday, we went and picked it up and to be honest, it is even more amazing that it has been even better than what i had ever imagined.  It seems that every aspect of this game has improved from the last and there is not one part of this game that i do not like.  Well, that was a lie, there is one thing that i don't like.  It does not have a match type that MW2 had which was called Team member Deathmatch Express.  Basically it was just a shorter wait in between matches, like the regular wait was 45 seconds but in express it was only 15 seconds between matches.  But they did do something which redeems them, Infinity Ward added a new game type called Kill Confirmed.  What this mode is about is killing an opponent and picking up the dog tag that they drop, this dog tag goes towards your over all team score and your team has to pick up 65 dog tags.  The twist is that if you die next to your teammate they can pick up your dog tag and keep the other team from getting that score, you also get experience for kills and picking up dog tags.  50 experience per kill, 50 experience per enemy dog tag and 100 experience when you pick up a dead team members dog tag.  This mode is super action packed and fast paced, it really gets rid of camping because if you camp your really only hurting yourself and your team members.  I would love to talk more about this game but you really should play it for yourselves.

Well, my wife is almost done with dinner so I am leaving you, but fear not, we will be together again^_^

Reply(Comment from last post)

Just wanted to thank whoever(I wish I knew who you were) commented on my last blog, to be honest that was awesome advice, I will definitely take this and run with it.  Also on a side note, you are the first person to ever comment once of my blogs so thank you for that as well.  If you want to see what this person wrote then check out my last blog, I guess it is good advice for anyone wanting to blog and they don't really seem to have a general direction that their blog is going.

On to other things and stuff.

My Tennis class is almost up and we took our final today(yeah, a final in tennis).  That may have been the easiest test I have ever taken, if someone were to hypothetically fail that test then I am sure that our teacher would probably not want to teach ever again.  Come to think of it, I wonder if anyone has ever failed his test, I will have to ask him about this.  We are also doing skills testing which is serve, for hand return, back hand return, slam and volleys.  Once again these are pretty easy as well.  I have always been good at sports, not the best but a quick learner so this class has been a complete breeze thus far.  In fact the only reason why I have taken this class was to ensure that I get a better registration date for the spring semester since the two classes I will be taken(I think Math and Earth Science) generally fill up pretty quickly.

The funny thing about taking all of these classes now is that if I would not have been such a retard when I was originally going to school and would have pulled my head out of my ass I would not be going to school right now.  I would already have my AS in Business and be finishing up my Bachelors Degree.  I'm not complaining but I do think it is kind of funny, I do know that if I could tell my past self something it would be to get that shit done and maybe scare him in some way to ensure that he would in fact "get er done"!  Hopefully when I am done with my AS it will open some doors to help me further the education and to maybe find something different to do for a living.  We will just have to wait and see.

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim comes out in three days...
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never been excited to play an Elder Scrolls game but this time I am.  From what I have read it seems that they fixed the things that I did not like about the last game ie. having to sleep to level up, not directly telling where the skills people are and a better third person view.  Now that those things are gone I am pretty sure that I am going to like and or love this game, if I don't then I will feel retarded for spending money on this game.  But I have hyped it up so much that I have a feeling that I will be playing it for a long long time, if not forever, well maybe not forever but I think that you get my drift.

I don't usually ask questions for my readers but are there any games coming up that you are excited for, if so write them in the comments done below.  Lets get into a nerdy game talk.
