"There's this passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them." I been saying that shit for years. And if you heard it, that meant your ass. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this morning made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking, maybe it means you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or, it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd."

" Hello, little man. Boy, I sure heard a bunch about you. See, I was a good friend of your dad's. We were in that Hanoi pit of hell together for over five years. Hopefully, you'll never have to experience this yourself, but when two men are in a situation like me and your dad were, for as long as we were, you take on certain responsibilities of the other. If it had been me who had not made it, Major Coolidge would be talking right now to my son Jim. But the way it turned out is I'm talking to you, Butch. I got something for ya. [Holds up watch] This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-grandfather during the first world war. It was bought in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee, made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. Up until then, people just carried pocket watches. It was bought by Private Doughboy Ryan Coolidge the day he set sail for Paris. This was your great-grandfather's war watch, and he wore it every day he was in the war. Then when he had done his duty, he went home to your great-grandmother, took the watch and put it in an old coffee can. And in that can it stayed 'til your granddad Dane Coolidge was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War Two. Your great-granddad gave this watch to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Dane was a Marine and he was killed along with all the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death, and he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leaving that island alive. So three days before the Japanese took the island, your granddad asked a gunner on an Air Force transport named Winocki, a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he had never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your grandfather was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his Dad's gold watch. This watch. This watch was on your Daddy's wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He knew if the gooks ever saw the watch that it'd be confiscated; taken away. The way your Dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any slopes were gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something. His ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you."

Dialoge
Jules: Man, I just been sitting here thinking.
Vincent: About what?
Jules: About the miracle we just witnessed.
Vincent: The miracle you witnessed. I witnessed a freak occurrence.
Jules: What is a miracle, Vincent?
Vincent: An act of God.
Jules: And what's an act of God?
Vincent: When, um … God makes the impossible possible … but this morning I don't think qualifies.
Jules: Hey, Vincent, don't you see? That shit don't matter. You're judging this shit the wrong way. I mean, it could be that God stopped the bullets, or He changed Coke to Pepsi, He found my fucking car keys. You don't judge shit like this based on merit. Now, whether or not what we experienced was an "according to Hoyle" miracle is insignificant. What is significant is that I felt the touch of God. God got involved.
Vincent: But why?
Jules: Well, that's what's fucking with me. I don't know why, but I can't go back to sleep.
If you haven't made the connections, all these quotes are from the famous, wonderful, horrifying movie Pulp Fiction. My favorite of all time...

Gears of War 2
Hello gamers, i got gears a little early and am now going to review it. But before i do, I'd like to point out that i am changing my rating for Far Cry 2, i am going to give it 3.75 stars, Why? Because when i reviewed it, i was so happy that i had got it that i did not give it a chance. Honestly the game play is extremely repetitive, and the AI is terrible. The graphics may be amazing, but the missions just get boring. Honestly, this game is not worth $60, if you want to play it, rent it. Now for Gears 2.
The Plot- The light mass bomb has failed,leaving underground cities of the Locust race unharmed. The last cities of Sera are sinking, Including Jacinto. And to top it all of, the liquid imulsion under ground has vaporized from the light mass bomb and has caused a fatal disease called rust lung.The fate of humanities last hope is to drill down to the heart of the Locust Horde. As a side story, Marcus Fenix's best friend, Dominic Santiago, searches for his long lost wife. The plot is not as simple as the first one, which is good because the plot made the first one boring and longer then it needed to be. Good, evenly complex plot.
The Gameplay- You play as Marcus Fenix, a COG sergeant in the battle against the Locusts. This game is third person, with an over the shoulder view. The camera view is great, i never get out of focus. And the controls are silky smooth, with a much improved Duck and Cover system which definitely comes in handy with online games. Although i wish it was first person, the game play never lets up. I am always bombarded with enemies which although frustrates at times, definitely keeps my attention more then the first one. And chainsawing Locusts is still satisfying. The game play is fun, and keeps on delivering. This is definitely the high point of the game.
Multiplayer- This is where the game truly delivers, the many game modes keeps up the fun, and stomping noobs heads in never gets old. Overall, gears was meant for multiplayer, and it still is. I'd also like to point out that the new game mode, Horde, is superb. It gives you the online experience, without online. Awesome multiplayer for Gears 2.
The Graphics- The unreal engine never disappoints. The textures are greatly detailed, the frame rate is smooth, and the blood is colorful and looks pretty realistic. Although the graphics are not extremely improved from the first one, They still hold up to this years high standards. Another plus for Gears 2.
Features- This game offers new weapons from the first, such as the hammerburst assault rifle, the ink grenade, mortar, the mulcher, scorcher flamethrower, and the gorgon pistol. This new arsenal makes the game even better and interesting.
I think this game was well made, fun, and bloody. These are all good things i look for in the game. The plot is great, and much improved from the first one. The new weapons are easy to use and extremely satisfying. I think this game deserves Five Stars because of how much fun it is to play. Although some may disagree, i think this is one of the best games of the year. I think it makes a great addition to the Unreal family.
Five out of Five!

Far Cry 2
Hello people, today is my review of the recently released Far Cry 2. I will review the multi player soon... enjoy
The Plot. You can choose from 8 characters, each with a different story, to take down the arms dealer, codename "The Jackal." It takes place in the African Savannah, The Jungle, and Desert areas. It is basically a civil war in Africa. The government has collapsed, leaving only two factions wanting total control. Depending on which character you choose, you can be apart of the UFLL (The United Front for Liberation and Labor) or APR (The Alliance for Popular Resistance). The two factions are at war, thanks to the Jackal who has armed both sides with guns, drugs, and ammunition. Your mission is to kill the Jackal. You can accomplish this task anyway you can, the game is completely open ended, giving yo the choice to do any missions you want. I thought that this plot was great and the open ended game play creates more freedom for the player. Terrific Job.
The Graphics. Beautiful landscape, exquisite textures, breathtaking dynamic lighting and sky make Far Cry 2 a sight not to be missed. The whole map (Which happens to be 20 sq. miles!) Is extremely detailed. And the way the sun shines through the trees creating extraordinary shadows is great. They truly are some of the best. Sure, it does not kick Crysis out of the water, but they truly are amazing. The frame rate also is silky smooth, just as silky smooth as i wanted to be. Great job, Dunia graphics engine.
The Gameplay. This is the only place where i wish they could of worked on a little more. The controls are great, and take not a second to get used to. The sound is good, gunfire sounds real, and the gunfights really get your blood pumping. However, the AI, which i heard was going to be some of the best, was not. Most of the time the gunfights start for no reason at all. And it takes for ever to kill a person, I have had to fire a whole magazine into a guy just to get his attention. But you know, it does not take away the fun-ness of the game, it just sometimes is a little frustrating. I am not saying the game play is terrible, but the iffy AI really disappointed me.
The Features. The there is basically no health packs in the game. You either have to pat yourself down when on fire, dig bullets out of your body, or inject yourself with drugs to keep you going. Though out the game you are infected with Malaria, and once in a while you have to take pills you stabilize it. The more time you keep the same gun it will begin to jam and wear out. This definitely adds to the realistic feel of the game, and i thought it overall added to the awesome-ness of the game.
RATING CHANGE: 12/18/08
Although this game is fun at the beginning, And is very visually appealing. The game play becomes repetitive, and the AI is just down right crappy. Sorry, But i give this game 3.75/5

I got it! I got it!
Well, everybody. I got Far Cry 2. It is a beautiful game, everything that i expected. But what is weird is that Game Informer gave it an 8/10! Thats not bad, but due to the game's massive map, beautiful dynamic lighting and graphics, huge weapon selection, and over 50 hours of game play? I would at least give it a 9/10. They said that the reason they gave it an 8 was because of simple gun play. Its an FPS! What other kind of gun play is there? Anyway, i will produce a review soon, and it will be awesome.

some more news...
Well, its October. And you know what that means... Far Cry 2! I am in the process of pre-ordering it. But for some reason things keep coming up. I will accomplish it, though.
Heres a super quick reveiw of the super old game, NFL Street:
Although the graphics are sub par. This game is extremely fun, sometimes i feel like i am actually out on that field. Overall, 4 out of 5.
Off the gaming topic, I just got a faded cherry red vintage mahogany Gibson Les Paul! It is awesome, because i am a person who has always wanted a Les Paul. I mean My god, its a freaking American Made Gibson with classic BurstBucker Pickups! It is almost like the '57 Custom Gibson Black Beauty Les Paul. I am naming it Marie. I love you, Marie.

Some news...
Well, i have some news to tell you all... I got a tumblr account. It is basically a bunch of random crap but hell, check it out here. It is all the things i want to say on this blog but this blog is about gaming. I also started to go old school and got my very favorite 007 game, Night fire, so i may just review that soon. Thats some news...
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed...
Hello gamers! First review for this blog! Now i thought this game was extremely fun but had its flaws. Check out the review.
The story line is extremely confusing. It takes place before episode 4. You play most of the game as Darth Vader's secret apprentice. You and Vader meet on Kashyyk, Vader searching for a rouge jedi named Kento. Kento is the apprentice's father. You are trained by Darth Vader to become a great sith. Darth Vader, however, has other plans. Now you know that i never tell all of the story line because i do not want to ruin it for the gamers. This plot is good, but at the end of the game, a lot of things are left unanswered. But fortunately, the game play makes up for this slightly faulty storyline.
The graphics for the wii version i must say were mediocre. The X box 360 and PS3 versions, however, were beautifully detailed. The wii version the textures were plain and the faces had slight sharpness to them that added a sucky undesired affect. In fact some things didn't even have textures. I can't say to many things good about the graphics which brings me to the fact that the Wii system needs to support better graphics. But Metroid Prime 3's graphics were really good.
The game play is the high point of the game. It took a minute or so to get used to it, but the control's run smooth and the motion control was silky smooth. The camera view for the single player is in a great spot for satisfying kills. I found this to be the best part of the game and because of it i think the game is really fun and the replay value is great.
Some of the features in this game that i like is that the endings aren't always the same. It is a slight RPG that you can choose whether to be good or bad. I love it because of the fact that every other star wars game has never let you play a sith through the whole game. Other features include a customizable character. I like this but they could add more options to customize.
There is one more thing i have not talked about, the multi player. I thought that this was not that good. The maps were extremely small and the camera placement made me lose my guy sometimes. This is sometimes fun with friends, but the single player is where this game shines.
Well, this game was really fun and although it has its flaws, i think it is definetley
worth owning. I give it 3.5 out of 5 possible.
