In my time of immense boredom and stupidity, I have returned to LegendsAlliance to match wits with those who have none. It brings me great sorrow to admit that - while my blog was in disrepair - I crawled back to that horrible den of miscreants and ideological Christians.

I am currently debating with a Satanist turned Christian about what it means to be a Christian. Every so often, he goes and grabs a quote from the Bible off of the Internet (I know this because his spelling is horrid, but the Bible quotes are always ’spot on’ in regards to formatting and grammar) and he tries - in vain - to prove a point.

It is both enjoyable and saddening. Also, arunma fancies himself a genius boy because he finally has a degree in physics and math. And, since my return, he has steadfastly avoided any serious thread that I contribute to. I wonder if he fears the thrill of battle that would surely consume him.

The Box says “You moron.”

Read the article. My distress with the Marvel employee will be obvious, and he has just made it so that I will no longer purchase the Civil War comics. Not that it will damage his salary. But, I stand on principle. And he is a dick.

Sony executives seem to live in a magical land painted silver and cobalt, with “Sixaxis” and “PS3″ carved into giant reliefs that sit atop giant archways that lead into vaults of profit. Unfortunately for them, the video game industry has not crossed into that dimension. In fact, it continues to drift further away.

The Box says “Behold!”

Sony’s comments are confusing at best, but they seem to genuinely believe that the Playstation 3 is selling like hot cakes, and that they are meeting demand better than any other company.

I’m sorry. But, all things considered, Nintendo is excelling in that field much better. The Wal-Mart where I am currently stationed receives 9 Nintendo Wiis each Tuesday (or Wednesday), and they are sold out before 4:00PM. They have PS3 stuff sitting her constantly and it is immobile. Perhaps it is merely ornamental or afixed to the surface it rests upon by some unholy adhesive. Who can say for certain?

In order to be meeting demand for your product, there has to be demand for your product. For the Playstation 3, no such demand yet exists. Even the folks at Penny Arcade waited to buy one, and only got one because it was up for auction during Child’s Play. They purchased it for double the retail cost but only because they are nice guys. The purchase was made for the children and not for the system’s merits (if there are any).

Sony, Sony, Sony. I pity you. It seems like many of you feel pressed to say nice things about a system that is unappealing, worthless, and marketed poorly. And because of this, the gaming community laughs at you.

It is certainly entertaining how they attempt to change the social climate towards their system by reporting that it has been “flying off of shelves”. It seems as if they are trying to run their system into the higher sales numbers through outright lies as opposed to the failed deceptive marketing techniques of the past.

Good luck Sony. May the united forces of Nintendo and Microsoft leave your empire in wastes, crumbled around its foundations and lying amidst the remains of your immense ego.

The Box says “Sad Sony”.

Sometimes, I regret going to the University of Waterloo for my education. I think I would have been much happier had I gone to the Vancouver Film School (which was my desire in the beginning).

The Wii attacks persist to this day.

Some faith/ministry group called Ethur has pointed out that the Nintendo Wii provides access to pornography, and they are warning parents of the potential dangers.

People are paranoid and delusional. You can access pornography on cell phones, computers, laptops, blackberrys, PSPs, and Nintendo Wiis. Sure. They also sell pornography magazines in every corner drug store, two shelves up from your child’s favourite Pokemon “collectors” magazine, or your daughter’s next issue of J-14.

Grow up people. Pornography is just as plentiful as it has always been. Learn how to watch out for your own kids, and if you ever decide to boycott something, boycott Disney films that come on VHS. VHS is a format chosen by the porn industry.

SPOILERS: This post may contain spoilers pertaining to the Nintendo Wii title, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, as well as Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, and Myst V. If you have already played these games, and consider reading onward to be worth the risk, then proceed. If you have not played these games, stop now. If your name is Binkle, and you read beyond this sentence, shoot yourself. Because I wash my hands of any further spoilerage.
Alright. I have to say that this game is absolutely fantastic. No fooling. This game feels like a more thoroughly evolved adventure title than previous iterations of the series, and certain areas of the game help it to feel almost like Prince of Persia, or even Myst titles. Now, I’m currently only up to the Lakebed Temple, but I have a few predictions.

In much the same way that I predicted Wesker’s teachery in Resident Evil, Alfred’s cross-dressing in Resident Evil: Code Veronica X, and Esher’s psychotic evility in Myst V, I am anticipating Midna’s treachery or inevitable fucking up of my shit. My reasons for this stem back to the beginning of the game, because she seemed far too sinister to stay good forever.

Initially, due to the red hair (a trait found in those of Gerudo ethnicity), and the ability to use powerful magic (again, exhibited by Gerudos most famously), I anticipated that the big reveal following the first three dungeons (a custom of Zelda games) would be that Midna was the evil hellspawn of the Dark Lord Ganon, and she was seeking the Fused Shadows to release him. After the final light spirit informed me that there were four Fused Shadows, and not three as Midna had led me to believe, I began to suspect her treachery even more. Especially considering she appears to be wearing one has her stylish headpiece.

So, I predict that Midna is one evil bitch, and she is going to betray me - and come crawling back when Daddy doesn’t love her anymore. But who knows. I have been wrong in the past. Still, I question my own prediction by wondering what the game mechanics will be when Midna is gone. She is - in essence - my fairy. And she is useful for attacking in the Twilight. And surely the Twilight will not be removed after the first three dungeons. For shame.

But that is all I have to say on the issue.

Actually, one final thought: Since when the hell can a fucking baby open up a series of stores? I mean, really. Fuckin’ punk with his Malo Mart. I want to leap over the counter and kill that smug bastard.
