Why I refuse to finish Mass Effect 3

Hello all!

All good things must come to an end, right? WRONG! Good things only come to an end when I say they do. I'm a fat lady and I ain't singin'. I have loved Mass Effect since I flew through my first mass relay in the Normandy SR1. And don't sit there and say you love it too. You like it. I love it. Want proof? 

This is a picture of my ankle...yeah. It's like that.

Told ya so! Anyway, even though this is my favorite trilogy of all time, I am the only person who hasn't finished it yet. I could finish it. I should finish it. But I won't. First of all, I've heard nothing good about the ending thus far. Secondly, once it's over what will I do with my life? Bleach is ending, Mass Effect is over...the world should just stop spinning. No no no, my obsession needs a place to thrive and damn it, I will not be the one who ruins my own fun. Sooooo I am at the final mission of the game and have simply taken it out of the PS3. Netflix should keep me busy and if I avoid the seedier portions of the internet (IGN, Game Informer, and Facebook) then I won't see any spoilers and I can live in my fantasy world. I'm going to pretend I'm on the council and dismiss the claim that the game is ending. Don't try to save me from myself. Leave me to my delusions. I'll finish the game when I'm good and damn ready. And that's not today. Until next time, happy pwning! ~Seven

Love is Over

Hello all!

I haven't updated in a long time and for that I am incredibly sorry. I mean both uses of the word sorry. I am both apologetic and triflin'. Now that that is cleared up, I'll get right into the point of my return. Catherine by Atlus is not just a game it's a damn TV show that you are controlling and it's by far 1000 times more entertaining than Jersey Shore. 

While the majority of the game takes place in 'Nightmare' stages where Vincent, our fool of a main character, has to shift blocks to make a pathway towards salvation, most of your crucial decisions take place in a bar known as The Stray Sheep. Because of the complex nature of the game the only thing I can give you is a quick description and my honest opinion.

Catherine is about Vincent Brooks, a 32 year old man who is perfectly content with his life the way it is. He's dating Katherine McBride, who is not perfectly content and wants to change their relationship by talking about marriage. This stresses Vince out. Enter Catherine, a gorgeous girl, who is very very interested in Vincent and ends up wooing a drunk Vincent one night in the Stray Sheep.

Vincent is caught between the two women and must choose. That's where you come in. Vincent's choices and actions control the game. You have to do what you have to do to make things right...or your version of right however skewed that may be. :3 

I honestly love this game. The puzzles can be difficult enough to make you throw your controller but the story is so worth it. It's one of those games where you just have to know what happens! It features competitive and cooperative 2 player mode so don't worry about getting bored with it after you drop 60 bones on it. 

Not to mention the fact that the soundtrack is as sick as it gets! The intro alone made me love this game...seriously YouTube it now, and thank me later. Trust me this game is definitely a front-runner for Game of the Year. Overall I give it a 9.5 out of 10. Once again sorry for the lack of pictures. I'll be back in the swing of things soon...I think. Until next time, happy pwning! 

PS: About the odd title: instead of the usual game over screen, when you die during a nightmare stage the screen says "Love is Over!" it's kinda cool, and I really liked it. :3

Just Missin' Ya!

So I just thought I'd drop in and say hey to you all (all 3 of you) and let you know what's up in my world and the world of gaming. There was a new WoW patch last week: Rise of the Zandalari. If you like WoW, Trolls with Jamaican accents, and general bad-assery then you should look up the trailer on YouTube. If you're square and like none of those things, then you should find a new blog to read, as those are 3 of my favorite things. :3 I'm just kidding, you can stay, but seriously those are three of my favorite things. 


My own WoW toon (Saelyre, Frost/Arcane Mage, Level 69, Mok'Nathal) is set to reach 75 this week, which puts me that much closer to my ultimate goal of just sitting in Stormwind on my obnoxiously large and epic dragon in the middle of the Trade District. Life. Is. Good. If you play WoW and like dungeons, add me. Once again if you don't enjoy either of those things I wonder why you're here. :p


Enough about me and my shenanigans though. Gamestop has been stalking E3 like mad and is already offering pre-orders for the PlayStation Vita, so if you were salivating for Sony's latest handheld gadget, you can go ahead and stake your claim on one. I feel like this thing is gonna be like the Wii. Everyone will want one, and everyone will get one, but you because you don't wanna stand in the long line do you? It's cool I don't wanna stand in the line either. I'll get one when I get one. 


Preorders on Vita are not all that Gamestop is offering this week. They are also offering hot hot hot deals on 360s and I mean HOT! They've got refurbished 20GB 360s for only $99.99! You know you've been thinking about buying one just in case PSN goes down again. Here's your big chance! Keep in mind that is the online price only so you've got to use the interwebs to get the savings. There are also bundles featuring brand new copies of Halo: Reach and Fable 3 so get 'em while they're cheap! 


The highly anticipated (so anticipated we almost forgot we were waiting) Modern Warfare 3 is out in November just 7 days after Uncharted 3. I think we all know which one I'll be playing...ah who am I kidding? Even I can take a break from Drake for MW3! It's gonna be great! 


I apologize that this post is lacking my usual flair (aka cute or strange pictures) but it's 5:39 in the morning and I am suffering from insomnia. Yes, this is what I think about when I can't sleep. Don't judge. See y'all later! Happy Pwning! :3

An Observation on Wii-lationships :-/

Helloooooooo! So I had planned to use this time to bitch endlessly about how they pushed back the release date for Mass Effect 3, but decided that my time would be better spent discussing silly myths about the Wii. Specifically the myth that it destroys relationships. 

If they only knew...

So most Wii-buying couples start out like our happy pair above. Blissfully unaware that their joint purchase is going to ruin their lives, and it's not in the way you think. It won't be because the guy won't stop playing. It won't be because the girl has taken it over as a gym. And surprisingly it won't be because of Smash Brothers or any other Mario related game. 

Although this is awkward enough to ruin anything good

In all honesty the Wii is just a relationship killer. It's a bad omen. It's right up there with tattoos of names and faces. Every couple I know that has bought a Wii together has not remained a couple for long. It's not a myth. It's true. If you wanna buy a Wii, buy it alone or say goodbye to your sweetheart! Or be smart and buy a Playstation 3 or an Xbox 360. Those are the real consoles, but I won't get into that in this post. :3 Until next time, happy pwning!

Computers vs. Consoles

Hey all! 


So I'm doing this post cause some d**k riding PC gaming fanboy got all up in my grill on YouTube (yeps I hads to deal with an internet gangster) and he was basically knocking console gaming and saying that we were all morons for playing Portal 2 anywhere other than a computer. Well this annoyed me to say the least because I hate fanboys. 

This is what I want to do to ALL of them!

I mean seriously, the guy's going on and on about how PCs are so much better, but even after I mention that I own a gaming computer this guy refuses to say what kinda POS he's trying to troll me from. I said all of that to say this: if you're going to bash consoles and say how great computers are, you best have a sweet machine to game on. Don't come with the weak sauce!

I bet this is an accurate representation of his rig...

 I love PS3, I love 360, I love...ok I don't even like the Wii, but I love console gaming! I also love my computer, which is an Asus if you were wondering. I love playing World of Warcraft and Audiosurf and Portal on it, but at the end of the day if someone said I could only game one way, I'd want my consoles. Sure I'd keep my laptop for writing and facebook (those are the only 2 reasons. seriously), but the PS3 and the 360 are just too awesome for words. You can hate all you want, but at the end of the day, the PS3 is the most powerful gaming machine on the market and the 360 has more shit to do than you can handle in one day. Computers are cool and I respect them, but if people will stick by Sony after this hacking debacle, I'd say that consoles must have something worth holding on to. :3 Happy pwning everyone! :3

Excited out of my mind!

So I was in the airport today in Memphis, TN on my way home from Michigan and on my way to my gate I saw the most amazing thing. No I did not see the President of Sony waiting for me with a goodie basket full of apologetic presents. It was cooler than that. I saw a Best Buy Express vending machine. It looked like this: 

As close as I can get to porn on this blog.

I know the picture is a little fuzzy, but the one on my crappy phone was even worse. Anyway the quality of the picture is not nearly as important as what is (not clearly) shown here. Did you forget your DSi at home? Don't worry, the Best Buy Express has you covered. It even has Guitar Hero and Mario in there so that you'll have some games to play until you can get home. Oh no! Your iPod just got ran over by an over-caffeinated businessman, who's late for his flight. Don't sweat it, the Best Buy Express has you covered! Seriously this thing had everything that you might even think about randomly needing. It held headphones (Bose, Beats by Dr. Dre, Sony, and JVC), memory cards, chargers (for cell phones and other handheld electronics), headphone splitters, and other random bits and techno-bobbles. I was so thrilled about this thing that I called my sister and 3 friends to discuss it. 

This is exactly what my face looked like for 20 minutes.

Best Buy is forever in my good graces because of this amazing little machine. It shows how far technology has come that it's now a good business move to have a quickie tech machine set up in airports around the country. Ahhh so cool! I'd like to give a shout out to My sister, and my homies: Semaj, Dirian, and Jay for listening to me wax poetic over a vending machine. That's love. :3 If you run across anything freakin' amazing tech wise, take a pic and tell me about it!!! Until next time, happy pwning! 

Sony is Number 1

So I have debated for a few days about whether or not I would do a post about the PSN scandal...based on the title of this post I'm sure you can tell which way I decided to go. But I didn't want to post a rant on PSN and why Xbox Live is so much better (cause no matter how mad I am even I can't tell that lie), so I decided to do a rant about many things. So let's call this My On Notice Board. These are the top 7 things that I'm putting On Notice. For me 'On Notice' means if you don't cut that shit out (and you know what you're doing) there will be repercussions. So let's get the ball rolling with Number 7.

Scientifically accurate.

7. Fanboys 
No, I don't mean that neat movie that came out a while back. I mean you d*ck riding fanboys. If you're not chokin' on Sony's nuts, you're building a summer home on Bill Gates' juevos. And don't think you Android and Apple fanboys are safe either. Hey dude with the Evo, we all know that 6 months ago, you had an iPhone and were bragging that it was the best thing on the market. Don't kid yourself. And to all of you Mac toting hipsters: Get the f*ck out of my Starbucks! Whew, I'm feelin' better already. 

6. Twilight Haters
I know that right now it's super cool to rag on Twilight, but what have you accomplished? I've yet to hear an intelligent criticism of the Twilight books or the movie. It's all the same "I hate Twilight." Why? "Cause teenage girls are obsessed with it." You know what else teenage girls are obsessed with? I'll tell you: Harry Potter, Maroon 5, The Strokes, Guitar Hero, Wii, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Paramore, Eminem, Bruno Mars, TI, and many more things that you like too. So if you're gonna start hating things that girls hate, you're gonna have to give up a few things that you thought you had the monopoly on. Sorry, suckers! Get it? Suckers. Cause it's about vampires? No one? Ok. *slinks away in shame*

You know you want this hug.

5. People That Question Why I don't like Music Festivals
Ok I know that's a really long title, but I've been running into more and more of these people lately and I'm about to lose it! I don't know what it is about one trip to Bonnaroo that makes people think that they're enlightened beings on the fast track to Nirvana, but whatever it is, I'll pass. I don't know why people think that they're so cool because they spent 3 days sans showers surrounded by equally dirty strangers. Without going into the other drawbacks, I think I've said enough. No showers. Dirty strangers. Sounds like a bad dream to me...one that I had to pay $300 for. No thank you. I'll keep my money and my indoor plumbing, if you don't mind.

4. Kill Stealers
You know who you are and what you've done. Now stop it! Seriously. Every time I look up I'm gunning some poor sap down and my jerk face teammate runs through and puts the kibosh on the guy. Didn't you see me killing him? I mean I liken kill stealing to if I were hitting on someone and someone else ran up and kissed her before I could hand her a drink. Back off! Go die in a fire! Just leave me alone *cries in a corner*

Been looking for an excuse to post this pic.

3. John Mayer Haters
He wails on the guitar. He's got tattoos. He gets laid. Often. He doesn't care what people think. He says whatever he wants. His music is awesome. We all know why you're jealous, but the only difference between JM and any dude on the streets is his confidence. So stop hating and start emulating. Pick up a guitar and dig up some self-esteem. Seriously, I don't wanna hear it anymore.

Nuf said.

2. Fox News
What rant list is complete without Fox News? Exactly, so I had to include them. I don't feel I need to say anything else about it. You wanna fight about it? Bring. It. On.

1. Sony Entertainment
I think we all know why Sony is number one. If you don't know then this is probably not a blog that will interest you on a regular basis. I'm also mad at Sony for coming up with Blu-ray. You didn't even spell it right, and you didn't come up with it fast enough. DVDs still get the job done, why would I spend more money on Blu-ray? Didn't really think that through did you? As long as PS3s will play DVDs I'll not be buying Blu-ray copies, unless there's going to be a serious price drop. Also, the company who makes the most bad ass console on the market should not be making crappy cell phones. Did you think we hadn't noticed? Well we did. Stop with the Sony-Ericcson pieces o' crap! Oh and I expect to be compensated for the scandal in the form of you bastards paying for my next 7 brand new PS3 games. I'm not kidding. Uncharted 3 is out 11/1/11. I expect my copy at my door at Midnight. I want it delivered by Katy Perry. These terms are non-negotiable. 


Well that was fun! I hope you laughed a little. Until next time, happy pwning!
