Infamous 2

WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

I’ve just finished my first play through of Infamous 2 and I’ve got to say that it was an amazing ride. It may be even more so than the first game and to say that means something especially when I chose Infamous as one of my freebie game from sony even though I had played though it about 12 times and had the platinum trophy.

I feel this game accomplished what a sequel should strive for. It improved the story, gameplay, graphics and added features. The core fighting and climbing  mechanics of the game are still intact and work even better this time around. The fighting system now includes melee to easily take out multiple opponents in an easy combo system. The climbing is almost unchanged but with the addition of pipes with electric wiring cole can now shoot up the side of a building greatly cutting climbing time and in some cases skipping the climbing all together.

The story picks up exactly where Infamous left off. Cole is in the process of preparing to fight “The Beast” a towing creature of unknown origin that is wreaking havoc and destroying everything in its path. To become strong enough he’s gotta head to New Marias to meet Dr. Wolfe and form a plan to defeat the beast. However once cole gets to the city a new threat reveals itself in the form of  Joseph Betrand who controls the local militia and trying to take over the city. Cole now has to a two fronted battle, deal with Betrand and become powerful enough to fight the beast. Rather than a straight line leading to 1 final battle like with Kessler in Infamous.

The graphical progression is highly noticeable. The world offers more detail and variety and character animations are more fluid. The characters themselves also look pretty amazing and facial animations have been improved as well. Powers familiar and new all look great, lighting is vibrant and striking and powers like ice are really well done and don’t look as clunky as they could have.

While most of the game will be familiar for fans of the previous fans a new edition to the game is User Generated Content or UGC. UGC are missions created and or “remixed” by infamous 2 players and then uploaded for the world to enjoy. From either a blank canvas or a pre existing template players can go in and crate their own missions, whether it be a race, an assassination, a platforming/collecting time trial or a straight up “survive the enemy onslaught’ its up to the player to decide how and what.

While the game is a great play there are some bugs/quirks but nothing that breaks the game. Small things like having an emery get stuck or sometimes just not acknowledge you at all. As i said nothing game breaking, no falling through the streets or flying cars this time.

All in all Infamous 2 is a great game and is deserving of at least a look. If you  wanna try the game to get a feel the demo is up on the Playstation store right now. If you’re new to the world of Infamous go play the first game and then come check out Infamous 2, It’s worth it, trust me.

Final score - 9/10

Playstation Plus and Amazon

IM EXCITE! Just got a 12 month Playstation Plus subscription from amazon (usually $50) for $20 + tax. A few days ago I saw an article that read Amazon.com had discounted the PS+ card down from its normal price of $50 down to $40. I was glad to hear this since I was planning to get a subscription since my ps3 died and I lost all my data, I wanted to recover the data I backed up onto the cloud during the free month of PS+ given to us PS3 users. I was fully prepared to spend the $40 on the service but when i went to complete my order I noticed that I was only being charged $20 + tax for the card/code. I was confused for a minute but after looking around for a bit I noticed I had a $20 coupon/gift card thing from when i pre-ordered a game (Killzone 3 i believe) and so my ending total instead of $40 was $20. This is a great deal because the 3 month subscription is around $18 so I ended up with a full year of service for a few dollars more than the 3 month service price. On top of this there was no shipping or waiting since all you need it the code, they show it right there on the screen and will email it to you as well. Good form Amazon. Good form!

IM NOT EXCITE

So my ps3, the one i just got back from Sony 3 months and 2 weeks ago failed and got the Yellow Light of Death (YLOD). I called Sony to ask if i was eligible for a free replacement since it was  so close to the 90 warranty given with a refurbished unit, of course i wasnt and i now have to give Sony ANOTHER $129 to replace this PS3. Check out the video to see the YLOD in action.
 

IM EXCITE

A Game Developer called DarkCryo is working on an MMO for the TV series Firefly. The game has apparently been in development for quite some time and is looking for backing from Fox and Mutant Enemy. This could be amazing and i hope there are plans to bring the game to the PS3, i can't afford to buy a pc just for one game.

Top Five: Cinematic Showdowns!

Well I think the title explains it all, but just in case allow me to expand upon it. I'm listing my top five favorite fights of all time. Now the idea is only to include fights between two opponents, so it’s like your basic duel type thing. I’m not including group fights or any fights that have one dude vs. a million. I’m only going for the classic 1 vs. 1 thing. I might do another post to include different kinds of fights but right now I just want to do this. Ok, so I’m starting at number five and working my way to number one. Let’s begin.

NUMBER FIVE: The Rock vs. Vin Diesel


From Fast Five, I know it’s a new fight, but it is still a great fight, and maybe the best thing to come from this movie. Both of these guys were expected to be the next big action stars and it didn’t really happen for either of them, so to see the two duke it out, was quite impressive. Plus the fight had a really gritty feel that, helped sell the intenseness of it. Not to mention that The Rock was fucking roided out in this film.

NUMBER FOUR: Obi Wan vs. Anakin Skywalker


From episode three, the best of the prequel trilogy. This fight was amazing. The special effects and the choreography of the fight were top notch. Was great to see Anakin’s final plunge into the dark side, and I also liked that the film really let the emotion of the fight shine through. All in all it was the best part of the prequel trilogy and it was a good way to transform the shy Anakin, into the evil Darth Vader.

NUMBER THREE: John Wayne vs. Victor McLaglen


From the Quiet Man. This is a great fight. Though not as serious as a fight as the other on the list, it is still a great fight. The humor and realness of the fight help make this fight my number three all time favorite. Not to mention that throughout the whole movie, you just can’t wait for John Wayne to go into boss mode and beat the shit out of Victor McLaglen. A great fight, and a great moment in film history.


NUMBER TWO: Rocky vs. Ivan Drago


From Rocky IV, my favorite Rocky film. This fight had it all, the underdog, revenge, patriotism. Unlike the Cold War, Rocky’s battle with Drago was quite a war. Seeking revenge for the death of his friend, Rocky agrees to fight this massive Russian against everyone’s wishes. Proving why he is the greatest fictional boxer of all time, Rocky steps into the ring with this giant of a man and wins. The fight is brutal, Rocky takes a hell of a beating but like any good underdog story, he keeps on kicking and never admits defeat.

NUMBER ONE: Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris


Yeah, I went there. From Way of the Dragon, this fight between a martial arts icon, and a man that is known for his roundhouse kicks is an amazing fight. Though not as chorographically advanced as some of today’s fights, the fight is still great for its classic feel. It’s also more of a fight of minds since both of the characters they were playing were masters at their craft. They each counter each other and know each others moves. All in all definitely my favorite fight of all time, and one of the coolest fights I have ever seen. R.I.P. Bruce Lee.

From dynasty to dynasty!

Just days after Phillips Seafood announced it is leaving Harborplace (mall around the inner harbor), there’s something new to take its place.

Have you ever been on a real shrimp boat? Do you even like shrimp?..... well if you said yes to either question this post is for you!

"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it." ....gotta LOVE BUBBA GUMP!

If you still haven't connected the dots well then Phillips seafood announced they are closing up shop at the Light Street Pavilion. In its place: Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, of “Forest Gump” fame. Set to open in May 2012 the restaurant features film memorabilia, photographs and reproductions of scripts, storyboards and costumes. There is also a retail store within the restaurant that sells souvenirs and clothing.

Shit why not whats yall FAVE forest gump quote heres mine!......"One day it started raining, and it didn't quit for four months. We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin' rain... and big ol' fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot, it even rained at night..." Forest Gump

PS3 Near future i thinks so!

Ok funds are limited so far, and i know the PS3 (160gb) is roughly 299.99. And as any obvious gamer i want the most BANG for my buck. The following are just some questions i have and would like an opinion on.....

1. Whats the deal with Refurbished systems?....Like i know they are "pre-owned" and all that jazz but i see game stop has a Sony Refurbished PS3 (250gb) for $279.99.....Should i even go this route?
2. Have any of the Boys purchased any gaming merchandise online?... and if so would they suggest a site for me.
3. Finally, im considering two "Bundle" packages...... Sony PS3 Starter Bundle (comes with ps3 160gb (my choice of with or without MW3) and a choice of one game for a list of 42) for about $329.99 ..........OR PS3 Greatest hits bundle same as above with a choice of one Greatest hits game(Killzone 2, MAG, God of War collection) and choice of game ( Ghostbusters, WWE legends of Wrestlemania, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of pray) for $319.99
   

The Storm over Ross's home!

Time lapse of the tornado warned storm that went over Topeka Ks. Shot by my boys from TornadoVideos.net!

EPIC FAIL!

So, this goes out to my boy Ross!
I've seen some epic fails bef0re but in the fishing world this takes the cake! Below is an article written and owned by gofishin.com but i have to show this fail!

We're not sure if fishing in camouflage really gives you an edge on the water. But if that's what helped Jackson Knoll catch this monster steelhead, a Moldy Chum "Slab of the Month" entry, we could be new believers of Fishouflage.

-Rick Bach

We're all for experimentation with fish camo, but this is a bit much.

For anyone who don't know this is a RAINBOW TROUT and NOT a STEELHEAD!!!
SOOO FAAAILL!!!!

PSVITA

Ok, Sony's E3 press conference just wrapped up and it was a good show. The #1 thing announced tonight was NGP now known as PSVITA information. There are over 80 titles in development for PSVITA which will be launching at the end of this year (I know what I'm getting for Christmas) including the likes of Uncharted, Wipeout, Modnation Racers, Little Big Planet, Street Fighter X Tekken and a new Bioshock title. All of which looked great and cant wait to play. I was super excited to hear that there will be two SKU's at launch, a $249 WiFi only model and a $299 3G + WiFi model with 3G data being provided exclusively by ATT which I have no problem with since i dont live in New York or San Fransisco where ATT service is apparently bad. All in all it looks like the 3DS is gonna have some well armed competition by years end and that this guy is gonna have a new gaming device, Sweet!

Fuck Logs

I recently took a trip to my local fishing hole to #1 catch some fish #2 test out my new popper and #3 feed some geese/ducks. All of these goals were met and everything was flowing right along. That is until about 2 hours after using the popper it got snagged on a tree turned water logged fishing deathtrap. I tried everything i could think of to free the lure from the clutches of the long dead hands of the tree before me but nothing was working. After 15 or 20 minuets of fighting and thinking of ways to get my popper back i finally gave in and accepted that i was gonna loose the recently invested in bait. So with a few tugs and a last ditch effort to just rip the lure free the line broke off at the knot holding the popper to my line. Even though i knew it was gonna happen i was still pissed about it because i had just bought it 2 days earlier and had yet to land a single Bass on it, although i did somehow manage to snag a 3 inch bluegill on the 2 inch floating grasshopper. After the line snapped back at me i stood stared and decided that one day I would walk out to said deathtrap of a tree and take back my lost investment but that it wouldn't
be right away. So someday soon maybe when it gets hotter and i feel like taking a bit of a swim I will venture to the spot where the "life" of my new friend was lost and reclaim what is mine from that goddamn tree. So watch your back tree, I'M COMING FOR YOU!

L.A. Noire

So should be picking up L.A. Noire tomorrow before I go to work. I really think it's going to be a great game, however I'm not so sure that i should write anything about it. I mean does anyone really want to hear about it? Let me know and I'll see what's up.

Dope Rap Verses Part V

Gorillaz - Gorillaz- Clint Eastwood

The essence the basics
Without it you make it
Allow me to make this
Childlike in nature
Rhythm
You have it or you don't that's a fallacy
I'm in them
Every sprouting tree
Every child apiece
Every cloud you see
You see with your eyes
I see destruction and demise
Corruption in disguiseGo
From this fuckin' enterprise
Now I'm sucking to your lies
Through Russ, though not his muscles but the percussion he provides
with me as a guide
But y'all can see me now cos you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind
That's the inner
So I'm gonna stick around with Russ and be a mentor
Bust a few rhymes so mother fuckers
Remember where the thought is
I brought all this
So you can survive when law is lawless 
Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead
No squealing, remember
(that it's all in your head)

Raekwon - Only Built For Cuban Linx - Guillotine [Swordz] (This Verse is the GZA)

The nigga don't get mad, I got mad styles of my own
And it's shown when my hands grip the chrome microphone
Verbally I catch bodies with cordless shotties
Intriguin emcees, I keep em trained like potties
I bomb facts, my sword is an axe
to split backs invisible, like dope fiend tracks
Sky's the limit, niggaz are timid, and nobody knows
How we move like wolfs in sheep clothes
Producin data, microchips or software
Undaground and off air, the Land of the Lost
Notorious henchman from the North
Strikin niggaz where the Mason-Dixon line crossed

Eminem - The Eminem Show - Till I Collapse

Music is like magic there’s a certain feeling you get when your real
and you spit and people are feeling your shit.
This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it
cause you may never get it again.
So while you’re in it try to get as much shit as you can
and when your run is over just admit when its at its end.
Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half this shit that gets in.
I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outcast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy, so when I’m not put on this list the shit does not offend me.
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fucking problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect you’ve got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me.

Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol.1 - Creation and Destruction

Immortal Technique, disintegrates mic's when I spit
I cause more casualties than sunken slave ships
Full to capacity, I bring tragedy to rap without my man Kadafi
The government took Nazi scientists from Germany
To design nuclear rockets and ways of observin' me
'Cause their pathetic attempts, didn't work to murder me
When this country was conceived, these bastards never heard of me
But now I hold the souls of slave masters eternally
Bleeding internally, burnin' D, durin' surgery, verbally
'Cause I'm a spiritual witch
Devils are incompatible
I've been around since the planet was inhabitable
I spit in the ocean and created microscopic animals
Which involved into two species, the righteous and the cannibals
But until then, I had alien women suck me off
When God said "Let there be light", I turned it the fuck off
And that's the reason that the earth is only 5 billion years old
I made the sun shine, and permitted time to unfold
The surface was lava, but when I stepped down, it became cold
Fuck what you've been told
My spiritual form became a swarm of molecule sickness
Manifested liquid trapped inside a mountainous region
Until the skies starting raining, continuous seasons
Immortal Technique, at long last, reincarnated
Undebatable reinstated to leave you decapitated
Je suis fous, but my crazy words make sense ["Je suis fous" means "I am mad" in French]
I'll split every pound of your body into six pence
I'm sick of simple similes about The Sixth Sense
I'll leave your body drenched in the blood of all your ancestors
You'll never be at peace, like the souls of child molestors
I'll cut you and bless your festering wounds with alcohol
Drown you in a clogged toilet, in a public bathroom stall
I'll rip you down, take a chunk of you home like the Berlin Wall
This is the final call, for all the rappers that wanna brawl
Immortal Technique, the wrong motherfucker to diss
'Cause I allow God to let you motherfuckers exist


Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol.1 - Dominant Species (i had to include the chorus on this one just because its so intense.) 

[Chorus]
Yo, yo, yo, I drop knowledge so heavy it leaves the world unbalanced
Exterminate the spiritual force of all that challenge
I'm the lyrical apocalypse that crumbles the granite
Replacing you as the dominant species on the planet

[Verse 2]
Yo, yo, lyrically I'm infinite like possibilities
But you don't have the capability like infertility
Cuz opening your mouth to question my validity
Is like trying to contradict the theory of relativity
When I spit is the epitome of heavy artillery
My enemies are obsessed with me like the bitch in Misery
But break out like father running form responsibility
Every time I step and abuse the mic with versatility
I balance humility, with brutal instinct
I'll make your whole cypher look like those crackers from N'Sync
And I don't care about your link, or your luxury car
I shed light with more magnitude than all of the stars
My breyon talk pick thick
So don't ever talk shit
And remember something nigga, while you rave and rant
A roach can live for nine days without its head but you can't


Well thats it for this post. Immortal Technique doing work again with them long ass complex verses. 

Someone get on this

Just had an amazing idea. Action adventure multiplayer RPG Power Rangers game. Select your favorite ranger and do the RPG thing. Fight monsters gain XP, weapons, armor/power-ups, level up and shit. Call Zords for boss battles and fortified enemies. The best part would be creating a custom team of rangers and calling all Zords to form a megazord. Run around an open world environment taking on the forces of evil and perhaps other teams of rangers to prove your power. Sounds like a winner to me. My unstoppable 2 man team white and green can be beat, and Chris buddy you know I got dibs on green.

OK, WHO IN DA HELL?

Whoever picked Lennon as their favorite Beatle can get fucked! It's about the Ringo.  I have a feeling it was Mason but of course I can't be sure.

Fishing

Today marks the first catch of the season for me. Although it's the 3rd attempt it was the first time I've caught anything so far. It's that time of year in which spring is taking control and warmer weather is becoming the norm. The water has warmed up enough for fish to have energy to actively hunt for food rather than to conserve their energy but staying still as much as possible. So at this time when they feel they can hunt after the long cold winter months they are hitting whatever hits the water. It's nice to have fishing season back. Good to feel the fighting fish at the end of my line. Didn't do to bad today, caught about 3 dozen blue gills, a crappie and a full blooded bass boy she was a beauty. Actually I have a few photos, One of the Bass the Crappie and of a rather big Blue Gill.

 

Yup turned out to be a pretty good day. Nothing astounding in terms of size but a helluva lot better that reeling in empty. Btw these photos were taken with my Ipod. Not bad if i do say so myself.

Dope Rap Verses Part IV

Alright now for some classic lyrics. Following the same concept as the previous three.

First up is Lil Wayne from the song A Mili.

A millionaire, I'm a young money millionaire
Tougher than Nigerian hair
My criteria compared to your career this isn't fair
I'm a venereal disease like a menstrual bleed
Through the pencil and leak on the sheet of the tablet
In my mind 'cause I don't write shit, 'cause I ain't got time
'cause my seconds, minutes, hours go to the all mighty dollar
And the all mighty power of that ch, ch, ch, ch chopper
Sister, brother, son, daughter, father mothafuck a coppa
Got the Maserati dancin' on the bridge pussy poppin'
Tell the coppers hahahaha you can't catch 'em, you can't stop 'em
I go by them goon rules if you can't beat 'em then you pop 'em
You can't man 'em then you mop 'em,
You can't stand 'em then you drop 'em,
You pop 'em 'cause we pop 'em like Orville Redenbacher!!
Motherfucker I'm ill

Alright now moving on to the legendary Wu-Tang, Inspectah Deck's verse from Protect your Neck,

I smoke on the mic like smoking Joe Frazier
The hell raiser, raising hell with the flavor
Terrorize the jam like troops in Pakistan
Swinging through your town like your neighborhood Spiderman
So uhh, tic toc and keep ticking
While I get you flipping off the shit I'm kicking
The Lone Ranger, code red, danger!
Deep in the dark with the art to rip charts apart
The vandal, too hot to handle
you battle, you're saying Goodbye like Tevin Campbell
Roughneck, Inspector Deck's on the set
The rebel, I make more noise than heavy metal

Raekwon verse also from protect your neck,

The way I make the crowd go wild, sit back relax won't smile
Rae got it going on pal, call me the rap assassinator
Rhymes rugged and built like Schwarzenegger
And I'm gonna get mad deep like a threat, blow up your project
Then take all your assets
Cause I came to shake the frame in half
With the thoughts that bomb, shit like math!
So if you wanna try to flip go flip on the next man
Cause I grab the clip and
Hit you with sixteen shots and more I got
Going to war with the melting pot hot

Alright last one, I'm throwing Nas into the mix, a verse from One Mic,

All I need is one blunt, one page, and one pen
One prayer - tell God forgive for one sin
Matter fact maybe more than one, look back
at all the hatred against me, fuck alla them
Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots
from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two
Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17
Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you
Everybody gotta die sometime; hope your funeral
never gets shot up, bullets tear through the innocent
Nothin is fair, niggaz roll up, shootin from wheelchairs
My heart is racin, tastin revenge in the air
I let the shit slide for too many years, too many times
Now I'm strapped with a couple of macs, too many nines
If y'all niggaz really wit me get busy load up the semis
Do more than just hold it explode the clip until you empty
There's nothin in our way - they bust, we bust, they rust, we rust
Led flyin, feel it? I feel it in my gut
That we these bitches to war, lie ‘em down
Cause we stronger now my nigga the time is now

Alright, that will be all for now, Ross you is up buddy.

Dope Rap Verses Part lll

1.) Ross - none - Untitled  (this is probably my favorite verse I've ever written. This verse is for Mike. Took some inspiration from Immortal Technique for this one and its also intense as shit and i could see Mike saying some shit like this.)

I’m a Genius at play I blow minds with everything that I say. It took me all of to 10 minutes to graduate five-point-oh and I’m off the charts. I didn’t go to college to learn I went to educate and show those quack-ass professors how shit is done. My mental abilities will leave you stunned and no matter how long you hold out you’ll eventually succumb. My knowledge quite literally extends throughout the galaxy. 99.93% of you bitches can’t even look at me without your mind imploding inevitably.  I’ll project the world of a comic book onto your brain and have exploring a fake place  and like god I’ll make it rain for days and days until you drown in my metaphorical ways, unable to comprehend that my gift to this world was man, that I seeded it and watched it give birth and slowly evolve into the present day earth. I toiled for weeks tweaking this mechanism, this thing some people call a crime, my lyrical terrorism.


2.) Ross - none - untitled (now this verse i wrote for kip, there's a few things i like about this verse. #1 being the play on the words of 7C's (which is our group but is meant to be read as "seas") and tying
that together with captain Morgan since he is a pirate. The other thing i like is the hulk on roids and pcp which to me is hilarious just because of an episode of cops kip and i watched together where this big black naked dude was all hoped up on PCP and there was like 30 cops all going "HE'S ON PCP GET HIM!!!" while this fool is walking though walls and shit. Good times.


I’m the weatherman and I get down on some crazy shit. So before you fuck with me you better know who you messing wit. I’ll bring storms down on you meteorologically and take this shit serious ‘cause I don’t speak metaphorically.  Whip up a twister and hit you with cold winds like its december. I’m the scourge of the 7 C’s like Captain Morgan cause that’s what I love to drink (YEAH BOOOYYYYYYY). So please before you try to fuck with me, stop to remember and think. I’m unstoppable see? I’m like The Hulk on roids and PCP and that’s a true story.




3.) Matt - unknown - unknown (this was written by matt, pretty dope)

I am the night to Clark’s day,
He is the bright light and I am the shade,
They say my methods are wrong and they wanna put me away,
But I get the job done, so what if I am pain, malice and rage all rolled into one,
I strike fear into the hearts of men ya see,
And every time they do somthin they get paranoid and start thinking of me,
These mothafuckin Jokers need Fraud, an to be put away permanently,
Because they keep on hatching their erroneous schemes,
An it always falls to me to match these felonious fiends,
And I tend to slip deeper like a reaper it seems,
But such is the length of my part,
Too often is my strength of heart mistaken as heartlessness,
And always after this I'm asked why, but think what you will,
For I shall not bow my will to fill the prides of weaker minds
Because I'd rather be alone as the smartest man alive
Than accepted by the dumbest fucks on earth,
So don’t be hurt, that’s just the way I work,
Hmm, I’ll leave a little left for Flash, cleanum fast

4.) Mike - Infinite Crisis - Uknown

magine six emcees wit no gifts not LPs,
No spliffs no OGs, no lifted heads, we
Are just the dregs, see, of this vicinity
Give a fuck about rap, cuz we--
Live through these myths these pages
Printed dope sages and mages
We lay in the crib wit no wages
Players, fuck no, no whips, no rhymesayers
Live through what I'm sayin' bitch
Clark blaze it:
Put em in the middle and cage em
Spittle wit a little bit of acid and a lotta dope flavor
Killin all these rappers wit no skill and no paper
Fillin all the women like venom, I'm pacin'
Pierce like Jefferson, Zatanna get the medicine
We got these bitches shook in they boots like gelatin
No felon, but your face I will melt it then
Clark grabs the mic and sparks a few sentences

5.) Chris - unknown - unknown


Yeah they call me CK a superman of rap

Me and the league be taking no crap

Blasting through your town like a hurricane

No need to change your lane or worry about our sanity

See we be protecting the rap game like McAfee

Treating these rappers like a virus

Cuz they be spineless and we be righteous

Killin ‘em off like we were cypress

Hill

ya see I got a destiny to fulfill

To be the Earth’s guiding light

It ain’t easy to shine so bright

Nothing will ever break my might

Cuz I’ll always continue to fight

Now let me pass it on to Hal cuz I got a dinner date with Lois tonight


Well that's it for this time around. There was a verse I recently wrote that I was gonna add to this list but its getting pretty lengthy and I have 2 there already. I also wanted to have one verse for each of the boys but I for the life of me could not find masons verse. I wrote one for him but I know he wrote his own and that's the one I couldn't find. So it'll just have to be put on the next list.

Dope Rap Verses Part II: Vaught Edition

Going off the post that my boy Ross the boss did earlier, I have decided to contribute my own list of some great rap verses. Since Ross used some of my favs already I want use those again, but I will be adding some new ones.

All right, first up is Childish Gambino, From the song My Shine:

Gambeezy make it work somethin’, let me check the syntax
Don’t add an eezy to my name ’cause it has never been that
Aladdin on you fuckers, prince of the game from street rat
Dudes fall off, too steep like tea bags
Steady movin’, don’t worry about where I’mma be
‘Cause I’mma be on these tracks like indie girls on Amelie
Honesty, I’m rappin’ ’bout everything I go through
Everything I’m sayin’ I’m super sayin’ like Goku
Fuck nerdcore, fuck backpack
Fuck rap cool, I make cool rap
I make music for wack blacks to blast back
In fact, I swear the track I lie on’s my last track

Now another Childish Gambino song, this one is from Not Going Back:

I was never gonna stay the same
All I ever really wanted was to change the game
Spent the year kickin’ ass and takin’ names
Try to tell it to your heart, Taylor Dayne
Mama told me I was special when them test scores came in
Callin’ me the new Will Smith, that’s Jaden
Callin’ me a faggot when I’m rappin’, that’s hatin’
I need to slow down, what the fuck is y’all sayin’?
Step inside the party, y’all niggas is mood killers
My lifestyle simple, live easy and Bruce Willis
I’m the boss, Michael Scott, y’all bitches is just Phyllis
Set the world on fire, y’all motherfuckers is chillin’, what is this?
That’s why these fuckin’ MCs want their asses back
Don’t you know that I’m a rapist, ask a track
Whiskey-sippin’, wanna drink the whole bottle
But these smart middle-class black kids need a role model
“I didn’t know he had it in ‘im”
Couldn’t see me as Spider-Man, but now I’m spittin’ venom

Now moving on to Lil Wayne's verse from No Love:

Yeah, put a dick in their mouth, so I guess it's "fuck what they say"
I'm high as a bitch: up, up and away
Man, I come down in a couple of days
OK, you want me up in a cage, then I'll come out in beast mode
I got this world stuck in the safe, combination is the G-code
It's Weezy motherfucker, blood gang and I'm in bleed mode
All about my dough but I don't even check the peephole
So you can keep knocking but won't knock me down
No love lost, no love found

Now Em's verse from No Love:

I'm alive again
More alive than I have been in my whole entire life
I can see these people's ears perk up as I begin
To spaz with the pen, I'm a little bit sicker than most
Shit's finna get thick again
They say the competition is stiff
But I get a hard dick from this shit, now stick it in
I ain't never giving in again
Caution to the wind, complete freedom
Look at these rappers, how I treat them
So why the fuck would I join them when I beat them
They call me a freak because
I like to spit on these pussies fore I eat them
Man get these whack cocksuckers off stage
Where the fuck is Kanye when you need him?
Snatch the mic from him, bitch I'mma let you finish in a minute
Yeah that rap was tight
But I'm 'bout to spit the greatest verse of all time
So you might want to go back to the lab tonight and um
Scribble out them rhymes you were going to spit
And start over from scratch and write new ones
But I'm afraid that it ain't gonna make no difference
When I rip this stage and tear it in half tonight
It's an adrenaline rush to feel the bass thump
In the place all the way to the parking lot, fellow
Set fire to the mic and ignite the crowd
You can see the sparks from hot metal
Cold-hearted from the day I Bogarted the game
I so started to rock fellow
When I'm not even in my harshest
You can still get roasted 'cause Marsh is not mellow
Til I'm toppling from the top I'm not going to stop
I'm standing on my Monopoly board
That means I'm on top of my game and it don't stop
Til my hip don't hop anymore
When you so good that you can't say it
Because it ain't even cool for you to sound cocky anymore
People just get sick cause you spit
These fools can't drool or dribble a drop anymore
And you can never break my stride
You never slow the momentum at any moment I'm about to blow
You'll never take my pride
Killing the flow, slow venom and the opponent
Is getting no mercy, mark my words
Ain't letting up, relentless

Alright now I'm using two verses from the classic Wu-Tang song Da Mystery of Chessboxin' the first is from Masta Killa, the second is from Inspectah Deck

Homicide's illegal and death is the penalty
What justifies the homicide, when he dies?
In his own iniquity it's the
Master of the Mantis Rapture coming at you
We have an APB on an MC Killer
Looks like the work of a Master
Evidence indicates that's it's stature
Merciless like a terrorist hard to capture
The flow, changes like a chameleon
Plays like a friend and stabs you like a dagger
This technique attacks the immune system
Disguised like a lie paralyzing the victim
You scream as it enters your bloodstream
Erupts your brain from the pain these thoughts contain
Moving on a nigga with the speed of a centipede
and injure
any motherfuckin' contender

Well I'm a sire, I set the microphone on fire
Rap styles vary, and carry like Mariah
I come from the Shaolin slum, and the isle I'm from
is coming through with nuff niggas and nuff guns
so if you wanna come sweating, stressing, contesting
you'll catch a sharp sword to the midsection
Don't talk the talk, if you can't walk the walk
Phony niggas are outlined in chalk
A man vexed, is what the projects made me
Rebel to the grain there's no way to barricade me
Steamrolling niggas like a eighteen wheeler
with the drunk driver driving, there's no surviving

Now time for some Lil Wayne, from Playing with Fire:

Mama always told me I was crazy,
My hoes say I'm amazing,
But I don't listen to a lady,
But the bitch say I'm hot,
And I say no bitch I'm blazing, like what the fuck do you expect, I'm motherfucking cajun
I feel caged in my mind, it's like my flow doing time, I goes crazy inside,
but when it comes out it's fine, like wine, wait, watch, see
I get better in time like a watch osh-be-gosh-posh
Spice husband couldn't kick it like, I kick it bitch I kicks it.
no cereal like a landing I sticks it.
whatever she asks me, after she licks it.
that's too explicit, well why you listening,

Ok, I think thats enough for now. This post already seems way to long. Will do another one later because there are more lyrics I want to use. Also Ross you need to do another one as well bro.

Most Classic Fails of All Time

Boy oh Boy, the boys have accumulated some epic fails over the years! I'm Developing a list of said fails and below are some of the following! (feel free to add some if you would like)

1. Classic Halo Run Fail: I believe we all remember this one.....chris said "dude when i push this button run for the warthog!" 3,2,1 GOOOOO! and without missing i plummeted off the side falling to my death and one of the spots in Epic Fail history!!
2. New York City Field Trip: The boys trip to New York for a High School Field trip for me was highlighted by two things by the later being the fail..... One the two behemoth guys in the street fighting was just really cool HAHA. Now, for the fail!! Ross takes the number two slot with his "HEY I'M WALKIN HE'RE!!!" voice in the middle of the street after said taxi nearly wrecked him.....u may be wonderin why is this second?!?!?!?....Because after Ross's epic New Yorker moment as I recall he was finishing his pimp walk across the street and slipped and fell on the inclining slope for handicap access on the corner! Ross being Ross quickly and skillfully gathered himself up and was like "nah wasn't me, I never fall".......Yeah ross you may never fall but we never forget the times ya do! Just like when you fell down the hill on all your own in highland village!
   
3. Call of Mason!: Last night me, Matt, and Mason were chilling at the Brown residence for this good fail! After just finishing talking to mason, I spun my head like when Tourettes Guy said "What do ya mean a BIRD!" and looked at Matt and was gonna ask him a valid question except i was like "HEY MASON!" Matt without missing a beat says nothing .......CLASSIC!
4. The Walrus is HOT!: If you boys already didn't start running i had to place this epic run through LHS, when I was choked by a bookbag strap, ross wrecked some tables and chairs, chris went down going around the corner, and Mason was being Mason!!!! I Think we all remember the details!!!
5. 25 Double Cheeseburgers for our resident skinny man!: Idk if this counts as a fail but leaving Ross with that heaping pile of McDonald's food was pretty intense as we seen peoples reaction! The Fail here then should be how we are permanently remembered at said establishment!
   

Part 2 of this list will be coming shortly and remember post all the fails you remember n keep on FAILING!

Killzone 3 Fan Trailer "The End?"

My 3rd attempt at a decent KZ3 trailer. This one shows the ISA in a bit of a tight spot rather than them running wild and slaughtering the Helghast which is what I see in most of these fan trailers.

Killzone 3 Fan Trailer "Never Give In"

My attempt to create a KZ3 Trailer Master Piece lol, don't think it went so well but hey I still like it.

EDIT: Second attempt at a decent trailer. Slightly different from the first but largely the same. Added a couple effects and a few more shots of Helghast.

Thoughts on Killzone 3

I've just finished the campaign of Killzone 3 and I've got to say it was an amazing ride. From the look and feel of the weapons to the design of the incredible environments and from the epic battles to the wonderfully directed and intense cutscenes this game is a must have for all PS3 owning FPS fans.

The weapons of Killzone 3 are really well done. Each looks amazing and each has its own unique feel to it. The ISA assault rifle was one of my favorite during my first play through as it felt damn near perfect from the attention to detail and the feel and look of the recoil as the weapon was fired. It really felt like I could pick up the gun in the real world and have a fair understanding of what to expect in terms of recoil and handling. The shotgun pistol is perfect for finishing off enemies in close quarters, it really packs a punch and is easy to use and handle. I highly enjoyed using the Sta - 52 Helghast rifle as it is a very accurate weapon with plenty of power and allows you to maintain your mobility so you can get around and get to cover quickly.  One of my favorite weapons was the Bolt Gun, this thing is super powerful 1 hit kill and the bolt even explode a couple seconds after impact. Shooting Helghast and nailing them to various structures is always fun. These are just a few of the many weapons available in the campaign, there are multiple Submachine Guns, LMGs, Rocket Launchers, Rifles and Miniguns at your disposal to aid you in your goal to defeat the vast Helghan army.

The gun of KZ3 are essential to game play and so they have to look good but the environments of the planet Helghan look damn fine too. It's true a lot of the game is played in snow covered areas but the places that aren't look pretty amazing. My favorite would have to be the Jungle, full of creatures like spiders and various plants that will actively try to kill you as you make your way though the level was cool. This is planet helghan so it isn't a normal jungle with trees and big leafy plants. it feels, to me at least, like these plants have sprouted up from volcanic rock so its a mix between a jungle area in terms of plants and creatures being present and a series of caves and canyons but with plants. It sounds weird but its look great, especially with certain plants emitting glows and casting moving shadows and they help to bring color to an area that would normally have none.

The environments are sweet and look great and help to set up some massive battles, battles on an epic scale. One can't mention epic battles and while referring to KZ3 without talking about the MAWLR. With little choice Sev takes on the MAWLR, a missive multistory walking gun, alone. 

This beast of a machine has dozens of turrets, missile silos, and a supercharged Ion Cannon. Think "Super powered, Impenetrably armored, 30 story  AT-AT" from Star Wars and you might have the MAWLR in mind. This thing is covered like scales in guns and and some kind of armor plating that cant be penetrated with miniguns or even missiles. The fight spans 3 different levels and can take closer to an hour finish. The sheer scale is impressive I hope to see more thing like this in future KZ3 games as it really felt like a other worldly battle.

One of the most impressive things about KZ3 was the cut-scenes. While they give a break from the constant barrage of Helghast soldiers, tanks, drop ships, fortified bunkers and supremely well placed grenades (man those Helghast must be born with a grenade in the hand cause they can drop one from across a room within 2 feet of you repeatedly) they also gave you a look at what was happening off the battle field and away from the war zone and deepened the story at the same time. It was nice to get a look at who is behind the Helghast war effort.

While I had a blast playing through the story I did run into a few issues so of course KZ3 isn't perfect. I hit an invisible wall which stopped me from progressing during my first play through although it was fixed easily it still wasn't cool. I also had time when I was in cover and tried to fire but nothing would happen, fully loaded weapon but no bullets flying which lead to my death. Rico also pissed me off a couple times, he wouldn't advance because there was an enemy, a small spider, hadn't been killed. He would also run up to me after I'd been downed by the enemy look at me and tell me that he was surrounded and that he can't revive me. WTF do you mean surrounded there is one guy left and you are right next to me, that fool! But overall KZ3 is a solid game all around, of course I didn't get into the MP side of the game, maybe another time and post. I feel this is a great game and that anyone who was a fan of previous KZ titles and FPSs should check it out and see for themselves.

I give this game a 9/10, CHECK IT OUT! 

Ross Wanted Me & Here I Am!!!

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT!

...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING FOR
CENTRAL/EASTERN KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN OHIO TO MUCH OF WEST VIRGINIA/FAR WESTERN
VIRGINIA...

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE OHIO/TENNESSEE
VALLEYS TO THE
MID-ATLANTIC STATES...

...TENNESSEE/OHIO VALLEYS TO MID-ATLANTIC STATES...
PER MIDDAY WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...THE FIRST PIECE OF A COMPLEX
MIDWEST MID/UPPER TROUGH APPEARS TO BE CROSSING THE LOWER OH
VALLEY...WHILE A SECONDARY PORTION/JET STREAK OVER THE LOWER MO
VALLEY IS EXPECTED TO RACE SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE OH/TN VALLEYS BY
THIS EVENING. A SURFACE CYCLONE CURRENTLY OVER CENTRAL PORTIONS OF
ILLINOIS/INDIANA IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY
TODAY...WITH THE PRIMARY/INITIAL COLD FRONT SPREADING
EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE OH/TN VALLEYS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.

A BROAD...MODESTLY MOIST /50S F SURFACE DEWPOINTS/...BUT WEAKLY
CAPPED BOUNDARY LAYER WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE
OHIO/TENNESSEE VALLEYS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. AIDED
BY INCREASING LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT...ONE OR MORE BROKEN
BANDS OF FAST MOVING STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP/INCREASE IN
COVERAGE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...ALONG BUT ESPECIALLY AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR. WITH STEEPENING LAPSE RATES ALOFT
/ESPECIALLY OHIO VALLEY VICINITY/ AND THE POSSIBILITY TO MLCAPE(MID LEVEL CAPE) TO
UPWARDS OF AROUND 1250-1500 J/KG WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR...VERY
STRONG/LARGELY UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILES WILL SUPPORT AN INITIAL
MODE OF SEMI-DISCRETE/SPLITTING SUPERCELLS...WITH CONGEALING
STORMS/BOW DEVELOPMENT ALSO PROBABLE WITH TIME. WHILE LARGE HAIL AND
WIND DAMAGE WILL BE THE PRIMARY HAZARDS...A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS WELL GIVEN THE DEGREE OF LOW LEVEL SPEED SHEAR.

...ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY SOUTHWARD...
THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE SEVERE STORM THREAT IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN
DEEP-LAYER VERTICAL SHEAR WILL BE
VERY STRONG BENEATH THE JET CORE AS FAR SOUTH AS PORTIONS OF
MISSISSIPPI/ALABAMA/GEORGIA...WHERE BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS SHOULD REMAIN NEAR 60 F.
HOWEVER...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL BE MUCH LESS FAVORABLE COMPARED
TO AREAS FARTHER NORTH...ON THE CYCLONIC SIDE OF THE JET...AND THIS
WILL LIMIT CAPE TO A DEGREE. STILL...THE STRONG WIND PROFILES AND
SUBSTANTIAL LOW-MID LEVEL BUOYANCY COULD SUPPORT STORMS WITHDAMAGING WINDS.

....ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS OF ILLINOIS/INDIANA AND THE ADJACENT OHIO
   VALLEY...
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ADDITIONAL SURFACE BASED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE BY LATE AFTERNOON ALONG A SECONDARY
SURFACE WIND SHIFT...WITH AID FROM THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH
THAT IS CURRENTLY OVER THE MISSOURI VALLEY. HERE...COLD THERMAL PROFILES
ALOFT/STEEP LAPSE RATES MAY SUPPORT THE POSSIBILITY OF LOW-TOPPED
STORMS CAPABLE OF SEVERE DAMAGING HAIL .

...OTHERWISE POINTS EASTWARD(BALTIMORE INCLUDED)...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT AS THE SYNOPTIC SYSTEM PROGRESSES
EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD...WITH AT LEAST AN ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND THREAT
CONTINUING

Basically the a fore-mentioned synopsis implys that a Jet Stream impulse
is reaching the trough of the storm wave creating a storm motion favaroble
in some areas for severe weather! Below are the Chances of severe weather!

• 2-5% Chance of tornadoes include the following states : Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and finally North & South Carolina! **Note the states bolder in color are currently under a TORNADO WATCH for all or portions of the state!**
• 5-45% Damaging hail (possibly to the size of baseballs) : Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and finally North & South Carolina!
• 5-30% Damaging Wind gusts (60+mph) : Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and finally North & South Carolina!

Video and Reports of Severe Weather Events Will be posted as I receive Said info.....

Dope Rap Verses

This is just a list of some of my favorite rap verses. It's not all verses I like or all that I can think of but its a few I like the most. The format is Artist, Album, Song (additional info). 


#1 Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP - Amityville.

That's why the city is filled with a bunch of fucking idiots still (still)
That's why the first motherfucker poppin some shit he gets killed (killed)
That's why we don't call it Detroit, we call it Amityville ('Ville)
You can get capped after just having a cavity filled (filled)
Ahahahaha, that's why we're crowned the murder capital still (still)
This ain't Detroit, this is motherfucking Hamburger Hill! (Hill!)
We don't do drivebys, we park in front of houses and shoot
and when the police come we fucking shoot it out with them too!
That's the mentality here (here) that's the reality here (here)
Did I just hear somebody say they wanna challenge me here?? (huh?)
While I'm holding a pistol with this many calibres here?? (here??)
Got some registration and just made this shit valid this year? (year?)
Cause once i snap i cant be held accountable for my actions
and that's when accidents happen,
when a thousand bullets come at your house
and collapse the foundation around and they found you
and your family in it (AH!)
GOT DAMNIT HE MEANT IT WHEN HE TELLS YOU


#2  GZA - Liquid Swords - Shadowboxin'

When my mind start to clickin, and the strategy
Is mastered the plot thickens, this be that wu shit
I don't give a cotten-pickin fuck
About a brother tryin to size a nigga up, I hold my own
Hard-hat protect your dome
Look at mama baby boy actin like he grown
No time for sleep, I gets deep as a baritone
Killa bee, that be holdin down his honeycomb, loungin son
Wu brother number one, protect your neck
Flying guillotines here they come, bloody bastards
Hard times and killer tactics, spittin words plus
Semi-automatic slurs, peep the graphic
Novel from the genie bottle, hit the clutch
Shift the gear now, full throttle, time to bungee
To the next episode, I keeps it grungy
Hand on my nutsac, and spittin lung-ghies
At a wack nigga dat, don't understand the fact
When it come to rza tra-cks I don't know how to act
Real rap from the stat, killa hill projects
How to be exact, break it down
All and together now
Things are getting good looking better now

#3  Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP - Bitch Please || (this is Xzibit, i enjoy the whole song but this verse is intense)

I’m the head nigga in charge, I’m watchin you move You’re found dead in your garage, with ten o’clock news coverage Gotta love it, cause I expose the facade Your little lungs is too small to hotbox with god All jokes aside, come bounce with us Standin over you with a twelve gauge, about to bust It’s like ashes to ashes and dust to dustI might leave in the bodybag, but never in cuffs So who do you trust? they just not rugged enough When things get rough I’m in the club shootin with puff Bitch, please - you must have a mental disease Assume the position and get back down on your knees - c’mon.


#4 Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol. 1 - Dance With The Devil (Last verse, i was gonna choose a couple verses but they are really long so i just went with the last one)

Right before he pulled the trigger, and ended her life
he thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice
and he felt strong standing along with his new brothers
cocked the gat to her head, and pulled back the shirt cover
but what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter
'cause he was staring into the eyes of his own mother
she looked back at him and cried, cause he had forsaken her
she cried more painfully, than when they were raping her
his whole world stopped, he couldn't even contemplate
his corruption had succesfully changed his fate
and he remembered how his mom used to come home late
working hard for nothing, cause now what was he worth
he turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
and crying out to the sky cause he was lonely and scared
but only the devil responded, cause God wasn't there
and right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
and so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
they say death take you to a better place but I doubt it
after that they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
and listen cause the story that I'm telling is true
'cause I was there when Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom too
and now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
in fact I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows
and every street cipher listening to little thugs flow
he could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn't know
the devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked
white, brown, yellow and black color is not restricted
you have a self destructive destiny when you're inflicted
and you'll be one of God's children that fell from the top
there's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
so when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
because a dance with the devil might last you forever

#5 Wu Tang Clan - Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - Da Mystery of Chessboxin' (This is the one and only ODB, I chose this cause its hilarious and its a dope verse)

Here I go, deep type flow
Jacque Cousteau could never get this low..
I'm cherry bombing shits... BOOM
Just warming up a little bit, vroom vroom
Rappinin is what's happening
Keep the pockets stacked and then, hands clapping and
At the party when I move my body
Gotta get up, and be somebody!
Grab the microphone go straight to the phone
DUH-DUH-DUH...enter the Wu-Tang zone
Sure enough when I rock that stuff
Guff puff? I'm gonna catch your bluff tough
rough, kicking rhymes like Jim Kelly
or Alex Haley I'm a Mi-..Beetle Bailey rhymes
coming raw style, hardcore
Niggas be coming to the hip-hop store
Coming to buy grocery from me
Trying to be a hip-hop MC
The law, in order to enter the Wu-Tang
You must bring the Ol' Dirty Bastard type slang
Represent the GZA, Abbott, RZA, Shaquan, Inspectah Deck
Dirty Hoe getting low with his flow
Introducing, the Ghost..face.. Killer!!
No one could get iller


That's not all the verses I wanted to include in this blog but I'm just gonna make it a series so I don't have one super long post. Trust me there's A LOT more that I wanted to add to this list, i'll just have to do it next time.

Thoughts on the Mortal Kombat Demo

Finally got my new PS3 from Sony and she runs like a dream as if just off the line of a PS3 factory in heaven. I just found out yesterday that the new Mortal Kombat demo was free to download on PSN so as I set up my new system today the first thing I did was download the MK and Crysis 2 demos and had at it. The demo didn't  offer a huge amount in terms of content after all twas only a demo however what it did offer was a very good glimpse of what can be expected when the full game is launched on April 19th. I picked Scorpion as my character during my short play of the demo because, well, he's a badass. The first thing I noticed when I started my first match, which was against myself, was that the game looks AMAZING. It might just be me and the fact that i haven't actually played an MK game in years but I was taken by surprise by the beauty of the game, it reminded me of the first time I saw God Of War 3 in HD for myself. Once I got into the actual fighting of the game I was disappointed, disappointed that it hadnt been like this from the start! The controls are responsive and the animations are super silky smooth and the game feels quicker, getting closer to a street fighter with the ability to string together long combos for max damage. I was able to start a combo with a flying kick and before i hit the ground transition into a teleport twice ( this sequence reminds me of the time Matt Lease bounced in between the floor and roof of a car while trying to exit, ahhh classic Lease, good times, good times. ) and then land and follow up with a few punches a leg sweep and upercut to end it all. This little combo took just about half the life bar of my opponet it was sweet. I can only imagine the super combos people will come up with in the full version with the tag team mode. From what I've seen in the short demo available this game looks like a winner. From the nice responsive controls to the super smooth animations and from the sweet combos and suberb graphics this could be the best MK of them all.

How Come?

I was wondering why no game has ever made you fight yourself. By this I don't mean like a shadow version of yourself or an evil version but your actual self. Here is an example; you spend the entire game playing as the main character. You put in the time and effort to make this character a boss. Then at the end of the game you find out that the main character you have been playing as is actually the villain of the game, so you take control of a supporting character and have to fight and kill the main character. I think this could be an interesting story arch. But the main reason that I think people don't do this is because it would just piss them off. The closest example I can think of is the first two Def Jam fighting games. In the first Def Jam you spend the entire game trying to beat D-Mob, then in the second game you get a new character and now you work for D-Mob and you have to help him rebuild his empire. At first I was pissed off at this, but as the story progressed I became a fan and thoroughly enjoyed both games.

I must give a shout out to Ross, because he put this idea into my head. Ross's exact words: "Dude! What if in God of War 4 you take control of Kratos's brother and have to kill Kratos?"

I was like FUCK THAT! But after thinking about it, I think it would make an interesting story.


P.S. I haven't put in the time or research to see if any game has made you fight the main character at the end of the game. I'm only going off of my own gaming experiences and as far as I can remember I haven't encountered it, yet.
