Sorry, I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy with school and other stuff. Math has been kicking my ass ever since I started college and it doesn't help that I don't put enough time in to studying for it. Well, I took my math exam today, and I have to say that I'm not confident in it at all. Oh well, I'll keep on truckin'.
So the other day, I ordered some artwork for my Arcade Stick. This is pretty much like an arcade cabinet for the 360/PS3. I've had it for about two years now and I'm so glad I finally decided to change the default artwork. Basically, it'll look pretty much like this, without the you know, crappy paper/ink.
Today, I opened up my iTunes playlist, and pressed play. This lead me to searching for more songs because I realized that I've grown tired of my playlist. I grow tired of songs really fast because I listen to them WAY too much, to the point where I'll be over it. It's a bad habit that I have no idea how to combat. Do you guys have this problem? If so and you found out how to beat it, please help me!
Lately, I've come to realize that I can not work in silence. It's weird because I've never had this problem when I was little. So, when ever there are huge moments of silence, I turn on a podcast and just leave it on in the background. Podcasts, just those living under a rock, are basically audio clips of people talking, much like the radio. A lot better than radio actually because there are so many of them now that you can find one on just about ANYTHING.
My favorite podcast is the GFW Radio.Although they are gone now, it's still a very funny podcast about guys who wrote for a PC gaming magazine. These guys will forever be my favorite podcasters. Here is an excerpt from the podcast.
Tell me what your favorite podcast is and I'll surely check them out!
I for one, LOVE parodies. I think parodies are sometimes a lot better than the original song. I'm going to introduce you guy to an AWESOME song about Pallet Town from Pokemon.
Also, you should check out this song about Phoenix Wright.
If you guys enjoy these videos, there are a ton more at EmpyreanAria's YouTube page!
Today, I was browsing on WCReplays and stumbled on this interesting post about Sportsmanship. Basically, it talked about how you're going to be a lot more successful when you have better sportsmanship. While this is a little too fluffy for reality, it has got me thinking. Why do people have to demean others to make themselves feel better when they have obviously gotten outplay? Why do they do this so much that they push their friends away?
I'm sure most of us have had friends who have had this problem before, whether they are on the FAR end or not. I have had a friend who had one of the most extreme cases of poor sportsmanship. He basically yelled his lungs out and ignored every criticism that was given to him. He always blamed anyone else but himself. He did this so often that I eventually grew tired of him and never spoke to him again. It just sucks to listen to people like that. Anyways, tell me you guys have met anyone who had extremely poor sportsmanship? Or do you guys have that problem? I'll leave you guys with a video of my all time favorite Starcraft player, Firebathero. His sportsmanship is terrible, but well justified!
Today, I'm going to try to introduce you guys to two awesome web comic sites. You guys probably might not have heard of them before because they're WAY underrated.
The first one is going to have to be Amazing Super Powers. These guys are freaking HILARIOUS. Trust me, I get extremely excited every time they update their site. Be sure to check out the hidden comic those guys left behind by clicking the question mark next to the comic. The hidden comics are sometimes even funnier than the actual comic!
The second site is Completely Serious Comics. These guys are just too funny. I have to warn you though, they can get a bit vulgar, but in a funny way. Check them out guys. Hope I get you hooked!
I've been playing this game since it's released. It's an amazingly fun game that anyone can pick up any mash their hearts out and still do decent. Too bad once you get decent, you have to learn a lot more than just button mashing. This game makes comebacks VERY common with level 3 X-Factors. This increases the character's speed and damage by around 300% when they are alone. Making one mistake in this game can easily cost you the whole game.
One of the most fun things to do in this game is the combos. These combos can go on for DAYS. Once you learn them and show them to your friends, they'll be impressed just by how long they go for! Who cares about the damage scaling when you're STYLING! I'm currently giving all of my efforts on learning the Magneto's ROM loop. This combo is just ridiculous to see.
