shut your mouth when your talking to me PT.2/And a rant to go along with it

Now recently and by recently i mean going back months I've been noticing a new trend, people hating on rpgs. Now i understand why this may be the case as rpgs are not every ones cup of tea, however all there arguments are insanely stupid. People hating on rpgs for beings, rpgs. These complaints run the gambit and some are valid, though still seem idiotic in execution. Here's an example from Game Informer's fan letter section, I'm not gonna quote exactly cause I'm to lazy to find the magazine. Basically this moron in question stated that the combat in mass effect was no where near the level of other shooters (i think he said halo but I'm not sure) and that the first hour was horrible because all he did was run around the starting city to only reveal more story. i don't think i need to elaborate on whats wrong with this statement or what GI's response was.

Yet it seems that even more reviewers are striding in this direction. More and more often I'm finding that reviewers are faulting rpgs for lack of innovation. While gripes about the story don't bother me (because i do realize when something becomes very cliche) what does bother me is when they start complaining about lack of innovation in the gameplay. "Turn based battles are 15 years old now and really should see some innovation" wtf that's like saying that shooter would be better if you didn't shoot so many people.

Or maybe the reason lye's in cutural differnces and the stream of fucking annoying retarded people who play halo like its a religion. I was perusing Machinma videos on youtube (why idk they fucking suck and love to constantly make rip offs of red vs. blue with bad voice acting and zero humor). The video in question was a preview for some Valkyrie game for psp i don't remember that looked action rpg-ish(and not Valkyrie profile so don't try to correct) anyways one video comment (and forgive me if i don't get all the euphemisms of his perfect example of the English language) went something like this.

"Wut iz this, its sum stpid jap shitz. I thughtz it waz for Halo valkyre mapz wtf"

emmmm breath in the culture that is the xbox 360. (and yes i do own one so I'm not just being an uninformed douche or a PS fanboy)

Spring Anime

So i was perusing my back list of winter anime i still have yet to finish and low and behold i come across Xxxholic Kei in a video response. suddenly i realized that the spring anime season had started adding far to many shows to my must watch list. At first it seemed like a chore until i realized just how many good shows seem to be attached to this spring. Here are my basic thoughts. Most of these i haven't watched yet just saw some pv's of and most of the ones i did see were raw so take this for what it is.

Xxxholic kei- I loved the first season and I was more than pleasantly surprised that the second season has just started up. I’ve already watched the first episode Raw, twice. So yeah it more than lives up to last season. The only thing is I hope they don’t fallow the pattern of the manga but that’s a whole other rant for a different day.

Code Geass R2- I finally got around to watching the first season a few weeks ago? Maybe it was more anyways. I really liked the first season and I was happy to know that the second season was very soon to come (to bad I thought it already aired) So I’m really looking forward to this season.

Allison and Lilia- Looks interesting. Art style looks like final fantasy tactics advance.

KanoKon- Looks to be this seasons high school love comedy. I remember being able to fucking swim in there types of shows a few seasons back, and yet for some reason I watched most all of them. Oh well, and as a side note looks almost creepy shota esq.

Tower of Druage- Looks cool, plus its gonzo so it may be awesome, who knows?

Wagaya no Oinara-sama - Chick/Dude? With fox ears? Pure creative genius.
*Looked it up more and I found out the reason I was confused was because it’s both a girl and guy who looked the same. Another thing is it actually looks pretty good, but I leave my first comment up in case it does suck.

Library wars- I can’t tell what this is, is it a shojo comedy? Or is it a military drama? Never thought that would happen.

Maid Guy- Looks like your standard comedy echhi so I wont expect much but who knows I always seem to get hooked on one of these types of shows per season.

Nabiri- Looks Action Fantasy, idk if I’ll be able to handle the character designs though

Nikki Comiket- Moe comedy? The name suggests it but idk it may just be a little kid’s show.

Real Drive- Looks very…action oriented. No real drive to watch this one (AHAHA…… puns).

To-Love-Ru- Okay I’ve heard a lot about this manga and really never bothered, it may have been on my backlists of to reads but I digress. With out ever reading into the plot line I can tell you that its another standard comedy/love/echhi show.
