Pic's I took of my friends dog at a recent car show.

Was just amazed a second ago about how good this year's actually been for games imo. So I took a picture of all the games I actually purchased this year.
Kinda amazing.. how much money I spent...
I know alot of sequels but still, damn fine ones and overall a good example of how good console gaming becomes when a generation hit's it's maturity.

More next Xbox rumblings.

http://kotaku.com/5964451/another-report-says-the-next-xbox-is-launching-in-november-2013

Personally I dont care so much these days if its Final Fantasy 47 or Gangnam Style Adventures. If its a good game it deserves merit for its accomplishments. Theirs only so far you can take the sequalz and portz is ruined teh video games arguement before you end up in the corner with the other D&D table top players. Heck Nintendo has built generations of "recycled" games to us but we still buy them and love them because they inovate with new gameplay or graphical aspects. Same goes now with Microsoft, Sony and pretty much any large game company. Its always been like this. The only reason its more noticable these days is because the gaming industry has grown to such a gigantic level.
In short I just wanted to share a pic of how much I actually dug all these games that came out this year, regardless of history.

Mass Effect 3, Assassins Creed 3, Halo 4, Persona Arena, Gravity Rush, Boarderlands 2, Forza 4.
All amazing games imo, sequels or not, that only came out in this year.
So dont treat me like I dont deserve to be satisfied with my own opinion. Obviously you take yourself and your opinion more seriously then it needs to be. Let me have my mainstream games and ill let you get back to whatever elitest hardcore real shit that keeps you so underground and legit over everyone else.

Miles look good sir. And you got that jacket too I see.
Damn everyones getting it. I should probably too.. It seems nice.

Finished my degree awhile ago. I work for a telecom company now in business sales for the past 2 years. I make good money, which is important because when I move back to Japan a year from now ill need plenty to buy/recondition a house, get a hybrid car and have some kids.


Actually never talked about this one before because of NDA and I didnt care to discuss it, but I actually used to work for Sony Computer Entertainment here in San Diego for about a year in the QA dept. Went in as a temp, writing up bugs and braking games. I got promoted to full permanent within my first few projects. I worked on quite a few small and big titles out there and you can actually find my name in the credits of some games. I also worked with the Move controller in some of the launch games before it came out.
I found the work at first to be very nice. I liked Sony as a company alot and they have great offices. I got along with alot of the people there which is why I got promoted relatively quickly. But once I was in with more of the higher ups their were people that really rubbed me the wrong way, who were on power trips and one person in particular that had it in for me big time because of a misunderstanding. I felt like my job was being threatened because of it, so I found a new higher paying job somewhere else, (where I am currently) and was done with it asap. The work was getting tedious and destroying my love for games anyways. But ill always value that time cause I can say I worked in the industry and for Sony at that. Which looks great on my resume.

Id love a Shenmue anime. More specificly one that covers material and events other than those weve already seen in game. Such as life with Iwao before his death, Ryo growing up, Back story of Fuuku san, Nozomi, Ryo's friends. All that. Theirs alot of potential to help develop a more detailed universe there.

Ni no kuni demo was amazing. My wife liked it too and said she'll probably want to play it some or atleast watch/listen to the music. Very lovely game.

They wear those ID tags on the side of their arm so they can have someone come around and scan them like products or something? Thats fucked up.

Lmao

So thats it?! We won?!

I will be playing 1 and 2 starting on the 22nd.

There you go sir.

Flaaaamee bait

20 children fucking murdered in an elementary school. 8 teachers/staff.
28 people dead randomly and needlessly.

This fucking country is full of guns and crazys. Im so fucking tired of it. Its bullshit. Our gun culture and lack of proper legislation on this is pissing me off. People ask me sometimes why I want to raise my kids in Japan. And for fear of starting a debate with them over gun laws I dont mention it because literally every other person in this country believes a gun will be their savior. Makes me sick. Fuck guns. I dont care for anyone here's reasoning for why guns might be good. Its comon sense, no guns equals no dead people. Get it through your skulls. We've had an open gun policy in this country for years and all we ever get from it is more psychos with easy access. Theirs zero reason why someone needs an assult rifle with 30 round mags past killing tons of people at once.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/15/rezaveny.jpg

We're gonna fucking need that blessing cause apparently its the only things that'll stop these shootings. I dont normally get political or vocal about much news and all that but my top has poped on this bullshit.
And I know its more than an issue of the tool. But that tool has built up a culture of killing. Combine that with someone crazy no matter the circumstances and bad shit will happen.

For the record im not completely against guns 100%. Hunting and sport is perfectly understandable, law in enforcement is completely understandable. Assults rifiles? I couldnt even begin understand why civilians in a country with a massive military would need them. Past that, again we've built up a culture and ease of access for these weapons that makes them a quick solutions to someones crazy and sick desires. I dont think ive been this mad with the news since 9/11.
Another sad thing is this is also approx. how many people die from guns across the country every day aswell. Yet we only pay attention to it when its all at once like this.

Home Alone!

So Christmas miracle or temporary curse.. But my parents dog who is more than 10 years old lost all sight, smell and hearing yesturday. They took the dog to the vet and the vet said she would probably never get her senses back again.
Because im Christian and actively pray atleast once a week, I prayed last night that God would restore the dogs senses. My family was devistated and it seemed like a horrible way to live for a dog thats been nothing but loving all its life.
Well this morning the dog is back to 100% normal again.
Either shitty vet or God granted our wishes, either way its very impressive and releiving.

I just got the Wii U too!
So far im just playing Nintendo Land and some Wii games.
Im gonna get Zombie U next month.



Everyone can add me with:

In nintendo land? Gotta be Zelda and then for multi Luigi's Mansion and the Mario chase. Me and my wife are having a blast. So interactive and fun.

Happy Birthday Peter!!!!!!

I twatted.

Nice yukupo I just got one too.

Agreed. Imo Valve makes good stuff but I still find them over rated.
I think a steam box will probably have legs to it but I wont be a buyer.

Is it possible to nominate this thread of 2013 so early on in the year?

I think honestly the thing I want the most out of the next playstation and xbox is backwards compatability disc support. If thats not there I will be very dissapointed. Theirs alot of games this gen I still need to play and want to continue to play. I dont want to have 20 systems pluged in or to have to swap the space under the TV. And if they do have BC, for the love of god, dont take it away later.

In advance, sorry for giant wall of text.

Just witnessed some gun violence and am pretty pissed about it so heres the story.

So im at my friendly neighborhood chipotle mexican resturant chain today and suddenly a man starts threatening one of the female staff. Its her boyfriend and he's pissed about something. They go outside and he starts beating her up.

Before I have a chance to run out there and defend her, he's run to his car and comes back with a gun. The guy starts pointing it at her. A security guard in the parking lot who doesnt know whats going on and doesnt see him with a gun comes over. The guy threatens the guard. A guard I actually see all the time and say whats up to alot. The guard backs off onces he sees he's got a gun and the gunman threatens the guard that he'll shoot him.

After that he runs away. I dont see whats going on cause im on lock down inside the resturant. I called my wife to tell her I love her while im in lock down. She stays on the phone with me for awhile before the cops come. They start searching the area. Tons and tons of cop cars show up. Helicopters fly over head. Its a fucking man hunt. The cops aparently searched all over the shopping area which spans four or so blocks up a large hilly area.

I later learn the cops shoot the gunman in the movie theather across the way. The gunman aparently shot someone before being caught. Not her girlfriend but someone else in the theater.
Heres a shot I took from afar where the police are surrounding the gunmans car which he abandon.
I didnt choose to talk to the cops but others that saw everything like me did.

The rest is news.

Fuck guns. After all this gun violence in the past 6 months in the U.S. Im fucking sick of it. And to witness this kinda of shit where I could have very well been killed by this rampaging lunatic I am now even more anti-gun then I was before. Thank god for the cops and for detaining this guy right away but for fuck sakes make the gun violence stop altogether.
This is not my first time witnessing gun violence, but I want it to be the last.

So close to finishing Persona 4G.. only 90 more hours to go.

I kinda doubt even if Shenmue 1 HD sold well that Sega would still bother to release 2 HD. That would make too much sense.

Lord, forgive me for my sins.
