Description
JunE3What began with E3, the World Cup became the main focus of this years June! With too many things happening at once it's difficult to keep up with it all. So here is a quick mini recap about the things I missed.
Mario Kart 8 is really the Devil!
mynintendonews.com/2014/06/02/…
Well that's an interesting sales number isn't it?
666% eh?
Either that's an amusing coincidence or the UK are all metal fans!!
Justin Bieber reaches new levels of pathetic desperation.
www.nydailynews.com/entertainm…
I know I said he's somebody I vowed to never speak of again, but I have to address this fucking retard on his latest batch of bullshit. If you'd ask me to sum him up in a sentence it would be www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlWmCX…
I find Justin Bieber to be incredibly desperate for people’s attention. In that this little Pleb is going to do ANYTHING to keep you talking about him. Normally an artist would let their music speak for them. In that the music they create is going to outlive them and continue to inspire future generations. Such as Beethoven, Mozart, Elvis, John Lennon, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson, Tupaq and many more.
I can guarantee you nobody will be listening to Dubstep, Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, One Direction or this embarrassment to Canada in 20 years time. So Justin is using controversy to remain relevant when his 15 minutes ended around 2011. This time singing about joining the KKK and saying the N word. Correct me if I'm wrong here but wasn't this guy discovered by Usher? Got Ludacris and Big Sean to perform in one of his songs and hung out with Jaden Smith?
What skin colour are they again?
I censor out the N word in my rants and comics, mainly because it has no place in my work and I don't see any reason to include it (Hell I don't even let Cute Yet Offensive Panda say it) not because "I'm a pussy" but because I see idiots like Justin Bieber saying it, and I just face palm. I'm just awaiting the inevitable headlines of this little shit offending Islam. Well he's made tasteless remarks and actions about British People, women, politicians, janitors, Jews/Anne Frank, Bill Clinton, his own fans and black people. So it's either Islam or the Internet is next!
He's apparently "sorry" about all this. Yeah, suuuuure he is. He's only sorry people took offence to it!
I just hope he's thrown in jail. People like him and Lindsay Lohan make me sick. They're given positions of fame/fortune/power and they've abused it.
Maybe if I call out to Cthullhu hard enough, he might do us all a favour.

"Slender Man made me do it!!!" claim batshit kids
edition.cnn.com/2014/06/03/jus…
Look, I'm all about Internet content. Whether it's web comics, creepypasta or whatever comes out. Because most of the time they do create some pretty decent videos, images, games and ideas that are light-years ahead of anything mainstream media farts out every week. I don't think it should be censored, regulated, held back or controlled. The internet should be as free and open to do whatever it damm well pleases.
Yet I draw the line when complete psychos like these dipshits go out and kill in the name of a FICTIONAL CHARACTER!!!! I have stated before that "I don't get it" with Slender. I'm not saying I dislike the character but I don't quite see the appeal in him. Or understand why he's so popular.
So these 2 kids plotted for 4 months on how to murder their friend as an offering to the Slender Man. They stabbed this poor girl 19 times and left her for dead. Thankfully the girl was found alive (just barely) and I wish her a speedy recovery. However I wish the 2 teens ill and hope they enjoy serving 64 years in prison.
Which raises the argument of should they serve time? Now granted they are minors, but this girl was stabbed 19 times!!! I think when shit like this happens age is thrown out the window and you give these two bright orange jumpsuits.
This is still attempted murder that was plotted by 2 mentally disturbed individuals. I get the impression Slender Man is being used as a scapegoat for these bellends, instead of admitting fault of their own. I'll remember that one if I'm ever in court. I'll tell the judge "The Great Gazoo made me do it!!!" and I'll get off scott free!
And in predictable fashion. The mainstream media is condemning the internet, saying it should be censored which can always can be summed up like this.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh2sWS…
However, Creepypasta addressed the outcry on their website.
Quote.
"This wiki does not endorse or advocate for the killing, worship, and otherwise replication of rituals of fictional works. There is a line between fiction and reality, and it is up to you to realize where the line is. We are a literature site, not a crazy satanic cult."
End Quote.
Once again I'm forced to point out the obvious.
People are looking for a scapegoat to lump the finger of blame on. Just like movies, games, cartoons and comics before them. The Internet and all it's wonderful areas (both good and bad) are the new thing for retards to attempt at silencing and control to "keep the children safe"
When the real guilty people are these kids. Stop blaming the Internet for people’s bullshit. These kids probably have mental issues or possible poor parenting that should be examined. Oh but that's not gonna happen is it? No child is capable of doing wrong in the eyes of politicians and parents. No it must be this here Internet thing that we don't understand.
Creepypasta is harmless, just like when you'd tell Ghost Stories around camp fires or at Halloween. I've read a few and they're actually amusing when given the right context. What we're not talking about is the Internet corrupting the youth of "Murca: God's country!" but instead we're talking about 2 psychos who need help or locking up. Who plotted to murder a friend in the name of a fictional character.
Maybe they should consider a career in religion?
Mortal Kombat X busts some heads... and a few rhymes?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIu8Gq…
While I'm not exactly a fan of Mortal Kombat, I do admit the trailer looks pretty badass (mind you trailers always LOOK good but the eventual product isn't) but oddly enough it's the trailers music that has people talking. Cus what is the first thing you think of when it comes to Mortal Kombat? A game about a cross dimensional tournament of gods, assassins, demons and ninjas ripping each other apart?
Rap Music?
Instead of something more fitting like heavy metal or 80's rock. Mortal Kombat X's trailer features Wiz Khalifa’s song “Can’t Be Stopped" which is completely out of place with the fight between Scorpion and Sub Zero. It would be like watching the Smash Bros Brawl trailer to Biggie Smalls or Tupaq.
Now I know this is just a licensed song which won't be in the game at all. Kind of like how Street Fighter X Tekken featured a ton of music promotion in its CGI trailers. Yet of all the choices you pluck from the dying music industry, you choose Wiz Khalifa?
Ummm, okay Mortal Kombat. Whatever floats ya boat pal.
PACMAN IS IN SMASH BROS!!!!!!!!1
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVz-2V…
It's not so much of a big shock considering he was leaked a while ago. Even I kinda predicted it with my Smash Bros/Transformers comic LONG BEFORE the leaked roster hit the Internet. I am glad 3 3rd Party Characters are included so I can have a 4 player death match to see who's the better mascot
Mind you, I highly doubt Snake is coming back.... But I'll accept Simon Belmont as a suitable replacement!
Sonic Boom Game, TV Show, Toys.....and Movies?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNZove…
Many people misunderstood my initial reaction to Sticks the Badger as *insert sonic fanboy shit here* but what I was actually saying was that I've seen characters like this before and they only lead to disaster. Oh sure guys, a crazy badger complete with outback stereotype is not the same as "Edgy the Shotgun" emo-ing up the place, or "Kawaii the Loli" with her annoying Chao sidekick! Now natural first impressions are expected but I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt as E3 would provide more details or a better chance to shine as it were. I do want to say to her new found fans (who I've spoken too and some of you are great people) that I'm sorry if you got the wrong impression about what I said, but I was going to give her a chance at E3.
Yet I hardly recall seeing her at the event, which makes me wonder what was the point of her reveal?
Sonic Boom is changing up the formula from being a generally average platformer title to reasonably average beat-em up adventure title. Which by Screwattack's logic makes it a BAD GAME by default. I guess they must hate Paper Mario, Mario Kart and Mega Man Legends then by that train of thought
Just because a series is trying something new doesn't mean it's automatically bad! It's trying to stay relevant and ya know.... Not end up like Mega Man or Crash Bandicoot!But I digress, what's really interesting about Sonic Boom is the new style of writing and voice direction the characters have. They actually have proper interactions instead of "lame anime dialogue" seen in previous games. However I will say my only complaint is the constant chatter/banter gets old really quick! Mind you, I'd swear I was watching a big budget movie than a new video game.
Which works as a beautiful segway into the big topic.
Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie... Not to be confused with the poorly named ADV release of the two OVA shorts about Sonic! Or that terrible fan created movie.
After such unforgettable offerings from The Smurfs, Garfield, Transformers, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Yogi Bear, Underdog, Dragonball, G.I. Joe, Inspector Gadget, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and many, many more. You'll have to forgive my natural reaction to hearing about another thing from my childhood getting a live action movie!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=fisXRm…
Now it's Sonic's turn to be abused by Hollywood! The bit that stuck out with me was the part about "A CGI and Live Action Hybrid" you know kinda like EVERY live action movie based on a nostalgic thing Hollywood loves to destroy. I know I'm being heavily negative about the news but considering what we got in the past, you shouldn't be optimistic about this type of thing. These producers don't care! All they want is to milk everything dry instead of make something else!
"Greed is Good, Greed is Love, Greed is Life!"
So expect a bad comedy movie starring Seth Rogan, Mila Kunis, Kelsey Grammar and Hugo Weaving as the main cast.... with Sonic somewhere in the background, dancing to Hip Hop or quoting dated pop culture references. Oh and a forgettable pop song tie in by William (I refuse to spell it the way he does) and Katy Perry!
You know, like every other cash cow live action movie ever made!!
Speaking of which......
More Movies that shouldn't exist.
It's like Hollywood is saying "Avoid the cinema; we don't want you to go anymore!!" Well that's the impression I get when crud like this keeps being made. Look all I ask is you TRY! It's not an unreasonable task. Sure I'll still go and watch comic book movies (the only reason I go to the cinema these days) but let's consider what NOT to watch in the future.
Dumb & Dumber to
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRBaWW…
Dumb & Dumber getting a sequel 20 years after the last movie (if you ignore that prequel) is a whole new level of pathetic desperation. I mean yeah the original had its moments, but like most products from the 90's it hasn't aged well! Just rewatch the first one again when you're drunk. It should produce the same results of the new movie.
Paddington
www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkZjkn…
I mean seriously... PADDINGTON!!!?? Paddington Bear is getting a movie. WHY? Do kids of today even know who that is? Now I am excluding Postman Pat from this verbal thrashing, mainly because it's a movie aimed at the very young and it even plays to that strength. Like Rescue Bots, I won't comment on something aimed at pre-schoolers. That's just mean spirited and kinda petty! That and, well it does make one wonder about a person’s mental state if there offering "critical analysis" over the Teletubies or Barney the Godamm Dinosaur!
Paddington doesn't have that luxury however when it goes for the "duuuh huuuh huh let's do toilet humour and pander to Plebs who enjoyed Alvin & The Chipmunks!" kinda jokes. Oh yes because watching a cartoon bear drink from the toilet after cleaning his ears with toothbrushes is just "absolutely hilarious!"
If you're mentally retarded or Seth McFarlane obviously.
The only positive I take away from this is Colin Firth actually walked off the project. Hopefully slowing production down a bit, or maybe even delaying it till next year. I respect him for not just doing a half decent performance for an easy paycheque. Like so many who attach themselves to garbage like this.
Everybody hates Ubisoft.... for all the wrong reasons!
I want to a Sitcom to be made. It would be called "Everybody hates Ubisoft" because evertime I turn around they've annoyed somebody! Yet it seems their latest haters are... *sighs* Social Justice Warriors. Yes, yes I know. This is still a thing apparently! If you're tired of hearing my thoughts on this then skip to the next part!
Let me start with the disappointingly popular opinion of Ubisoft sucks. However not for the reasons some of you may have.
While I may get on Nintendo or Microsoft's case for a lack of creativity. Ubisoft seems hell bent on driving Assassin's Creed straight into the ground! Releasing a game almost every year got incredibly old with Mega Man. Yet in 8 years, Ubisoft has farted out roughly 16 games!! Just for a comparison, in that same amount of time, Super Mario (as in the main series) only brought out 6. While Call of Duty has brought out only 12.
When you're making far too many games in too short of a time, over two of the most overdone series in history..... Holy Shit!!
Plus shouldn't the series have ended with Desmond's death? (spoiler alert)
I wouldn't consider myself on Ubisofts side about this, but I'm really just tired of pointing out the fucking obvious to these hipster faggots. Have you ever considered games starring characters like Nathan Drake or Master Chief are made because of what the majority wants or what the market generates? You know how games perform financially or profits? Now I know it's not always sound results or you shouldn't always trust monetary figures. Considering Twilight made millions when that was about as watchable as genocide! Yet more often than not "money talks" and companies base what we see or play based on our purchases! More proof is Michael Bay laughing at his haters, considering he can ride a tidal wave of cash thanks to his Transformers movies.
Oh silly me, there I go again with my big words and backwards thinking we use on Planet Earth!! No clearly it must be the evil scheming Patriarchy looking to oppress you triggered special snowflakes. Then they'll build the Sentinels to hunt you all down leading to "Days of Tumblr Past!"
Mind you I'd kinda welcome that; only if it's shuts all these Magneto wannabes up!
"You can't play as a female character!!!" First off who cares? One game Vs. how many out there? I do admit Sunset Overdrive's response was clever, but this is just making mountains out of molehills. Having said that, I have more respect for Insomniac Games for doing something inspiring/empowering about this, instead of what your average sjw does and shout the following into a webcam.
"YOU NEED TO GIVE ME WHAT I WANT, BECAUSE MY FEELINGS WERE HURT AND I HOPE MOVIEBOB SENPAI NOTICES ME!!!!!"
Frankly, after Peta Sarkiseen, Rebecca Watson and Suey "WHITE PEOPLE ARE EVIL" Park, I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. Watching these privileged, middle class college aged dickheads whining about First World Problems is not so fun anymore. Because they remain fully in their own little world of triggers and pronouns, whilst ignoring what's really important in life.
A friend of mine (Bigal2k6) recently asked me why do these people cause moral outrages? If you honestly believe its equality then you my friends would be wrong. They want anything but equality. That Magneto comparison earlier should clue you in as to what they want! Yet the thing to always remember about these movements against gaming is 2 simple words.
Short Term.
They never last long and are gone before you know it. Jack Thompson and Hilary Clinton to name but a few. Yes these people are annoying, misinformed and make DSPGaming look like Larry King. Yet they will be memories very soon. So until then, dismiss their crazy ideas and make them the butt of your jokes.
Such as....
Phil Fish "Gamers are Pirates!"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMhfbL…
Sticking with hipster faggots (I'm sorry but I just love that term) for a moment.
So this hairy Croissant called Phil Fish believes Let's Players owe him money.... Didn't people learn from Nintendo's screw up on this?
Quote.
"YouTubers should have to pay out a huge portion of their revenue to the developers from which they steal all their content. Ad revenue should be shared with developers; this should be built into Youtube. Anything else is basically piracy."
End Quote.
Let's set up a hypothetical example to demonstrate why I have a problem with this douchebags claims.
Okay, I have a wife and a daughter, and I happen to be a Youtube Partner. The daughter is called Rowan and she's 5. Anyway, it's her birthday so I go to a Tesco to buy her a birthday cake. I happen to film her birthday, mainly the bit where little Rowan blows out the candles. I then upload that to Youtube cus I want to share that moment with everyone. The video contains said birthday cake I bought from Tesco. So in Phil's little mind does that mean I owe Tesco any profits I make from Ad Revenue? Or Sneth do I have to invite the manager of that Tesco to her party?
Fuck no!!!
Once that money changes hands I am free to do what I damm well please with that cake. As Gamers can do what they please with a game they've purchased! Somebody should tell this Hipster cliché to sod off back into Starbucks swollen asshole and stay there! This is why I'm beginning to loathe the gaming industry. These smarmy assholes who treat consumers like their bitches, when it ultimately leads to nowhere but misery.
... Speaking of which!!!
Capcom for Sale!
www.gamasutra.com/view/news/21…
.... Oh, don't look so shocked!!
Taking a direct quote from the article.
"Capcom’s shareholders have voted to end their takeover defence. Set up in 2008, the takeover defence was a series of strategies designed to prevent outside companies from buying up a majority of Capcom’s stock, but shareholders voted against renewing it at their latest investor’s meeting, which opens the company up for potential buyers."
End Quote.
What this basically means is Capcom would become under the ownership of another company (A 2nd Party if you will) if they purchase over 50% of their shares. Kind of like how Walt Disney owns Marvel and Lucas Arts. This wouldn't mean R.I.P. Capcom but rather this would SAVE THEM!!! Best example of all is when Disney bought Marvel. They weren't in complete trouble per say but if somebody didn't step in.... I don't think we'd of got an Avengers movie!
The big question is WHO should own them?
Let's get this out of the way now..... NOT MICROSOFT!! Cus I haven't forgotten what happened to the last company they bought.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfaN26…
Also (in a less fanboyish way) Microsoft doesn't really need them. All Microsoft have to do to get money is say "Halo" and boom! Guarantied millions. Alot of Capcom's franchises such as Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Darkstalkers or Mega Man would stick out like a sore thumb, next to Microsoft's FPS-centric audience of frat house dude bros! Plus Capcom tried to gear franchises like Resident Evil at that audience and.... Well we all know how that turned out!
Sony would be a potential choice, but considering their financial woes over the years I'm ruling them out! When you consider if they paid for Capcom, they'd also be taking on their debts at the same time. Which is money Sony really doesn't have at the moment! That and many would argue selling out to Sony was what started this whole mess with Capcom in the first place (Resident Evil 4) nothing personal to Sony but I hope it doesn't go this way! Cus it would do them more harm than good!
Sega would put a smile on my face. Just so I could get that Sonic/Mega Man game I've wanted since the Archie comic did an amazing job with it!
But if it came down to 2 choices, I'd want it to be either Disney or Nintendo.
Cus with Disney, it could see the potential revival of games like Chip and Dale or Darkwing Duck. Granted the side effect would be a terrible Ultimate Mega Man cartoon and making terrible games based off shitty Disney movies (Like Frozen) but it would be worth it just to get Marvel Vs. Capcom Vs. LucasArts Vs. Walt Disney. Or just Disney Infinity Fighter’s sounds like fun!
But the clear choice for people I noticed in a ALOT of posts and videos about this was Nintendo, and when you stop to think about it it makes the most sense. Franchises like Resident Evil and Dead Rising could help shake the "kiddy image" people label the company with, that and help win back hardcore audiences. Kind of like "Yeah the kids can have Tomodachi Life and Pokemon but will stick around for Devil May Cry and Street Fighter!" plus a Mega Man reboot to keep people happy (Besides Legends 3)
Also, to those people who say "Nintendo shouldn't get them cus they're a kids thing; Capcom wouldn't be allowed to do mature shit!" Let me happily refute those claims. Resident Evil Remake, probably one of the most terrifying titles they made is a Game Cube exclusive. Resident Evil 0 and 4 were both exclusive to Game Cube at one point. Or if you want non Capcom examples, Eternal Darkness is a creepy ass game and it's....
.... Yup, Game Cube exclusive.
Sega's House of the Dead: Overkill probably has the most F-Bombs ever dropped in a video game, alongside necrophilia, nudity and incest. Oh and did I mention that's a Wii game? You know that console made by a company that's "all kiddy!"
So yeah. Kiddy my ass folks!
With new management to answer to means new directions. Meaning Kenzo Tsujimoto and on disc DLC could be shown the door, while hopefully bringing back Keiji Inafune and Shinji Mikami to finish long awaited projects that were cancelled. Oh and don't tell me you wouldn't want to see Capcom fighters show up in the next Smash Bros? On a completely subjective viewpoint, Capcom could fill that gaping hole Rare made when they left for Microsoft.
Now. All Fanboyism aside. Let's look at the negative side effects.
One potential fear I have is "A new broom sweeps clean" meaning all previous contracts, deals or plans could be scrapped. Mainly the Archie Mega Man comic would be cancelled, because let's say Sony want to cut corners and save money. So they'll cancel comic book tie-ins and use the money for their dying movie division to make more shitty Resident Evil movies.
There's also the fear of ALL Capcom titles being exclusive to one console..... particularly a console you don't own, want or like!
Let's say for example Microsoft did acquire them. It would mean games exclusive to Xbox One. Completely destroy all chances of handheld titles for PS-Vita and Nintendo 3DS. Or if Nintendo bought them, you'd be missing out on platforms like PS4/Vita, Xbox One or PC. Which would mean gimmicky titles to incorporate a touch screen or the tablet (provided those will be a thing in the future) and Nintendo's online isn't that amazing. Eliminating Street Fighter's online potential.
That and if nobody buys them they just die and take their IPs with them. This would be truly sad.
All I take away from this is more games will be coming regardless. Whoever purchases them albeit one of the big 3 or a 3rd party entry, Capcom will still make games but will have to answer to somebody else. Meaning this "We cancelled it cus fuck you!!" mind set would not be tolerated by their parental owner. I hope this is a change in fortune for the company I predicted awhile back and I'd hate to see it get worse for them. I don't look at is as "THEY'RE GETTING WHAT'S COMING TO THEM!!!!" like so many said dipshits proclaim, but rather we're getting what's coming to us.
As in more games!!
So yeah, hopefully Capcom will be sticking around. So the question now remains....
..... Who is gonna make Capcom their bitch?
Casey Kasem died
Terrible news. Another piece of my childhood passed away.
Probably best known for his role as Scooby Doo's owner Shaggy. While also voicing characters for Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets, Transformers and Batman. Probably my favourite performance of his was the Scooby Doo meets Batman episodes. Just the contrast of hearing him acting opposite himself through Shaggy and Robin was always amusing to me. Kinda like watching Scott McNeil arguing with himself on shows.
He had a soft warmly voice to him that can't be replaced. At least Richie has some company.
You mean to tell me I live in a world where James Avery, Mae Young, Bob Hoskins, Rik Mayall and now Casey Kasem are dead.
But Justin Beiber is still alive?
World Cup 2014
While over the years I've hated Football. This years World Cup has renewed some interest in the sport for me ... Mainly watching the other teams of the world.
Costa Rica really surprising everyone by making Italy, Uruguay, England and Greece their bitches! America playing a surprisingly decent game against Portugal, an Argentina commentator loses his ever loving mind
www.espnfc.com/blog/the-toe-po…
and Ian Wright shows himself to be an immature prick!
www.101greatgoals.com/blog/ian…
I spent most of the games watching it with friends and it was a rewarding and highly amusing experience. It's been great fun, I absolutely enjoyed myself and I love the shit out of my friends! With us making up ridiculous commentary and gags on the games that I may take up watching the sport again. Not sure what team to support or even which country to watch. That said, I think I may substitute WWE for international Football in the future. Which of course brings me to something I saw coming from a mile away....
England 2014
Well fuck me, that was quick. They didn't even last a month XD
To the England football fans no doubt spewing Heineken on their monitors as they read this. I guess I should explain my bizarre hatred of what they'd say "A team I MUST support!!"
In the past, I voiced these opinions to try to offer a critique. Now I just gain massive amount of amusement from watching them fail. Then it's over for another 4 years and I move on to something else. In a similar manner to how people tune in to E3 to watch either Sony, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft or Nintendo fail.
To say its important is like saying "England plays well" which isn't the truth at all. It's just jokes or sniping at a group of untalented wankers who should be playing better. No different than sniping at X-Factor contestants or David Cameron. That's what I do. I offer cynical views on the world and am extremely cynical about my homeland. A country that is a shell of it's former self. I'm patriotic, don't get me wrong, but I'm stupid either!
I don't call them "my team" because they don't care, which judging by how they played against Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica is proof of that. I'm not calling them out cus I'm a hater, but instead I'm calling attention to the obvious. An obvious fact that makes me wonder if I'm the only Englishman who thinks it.
Actually, I take that back. Chris Waddle seems to be voicing something similar.
www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/worl…
England are NOT as good as they, or the lunatic pundits and fans claim they are. Play a decent game of Football and THEN will talk about you being a decent side. I guess this reaction began in 1996 when England went crashing out against Germany, which to be fair they had a decent side. You know players who gave a shit and were not overpaid premadonas!
So many failures, excuses and tournaments later. I just stopped cheering for them and developed an opposite reaction. Flat out telling people they're not going to win. Over the years they've gotten worse and nobody seems to notice it! Going back to that 1996 example for a second, England reached the semi finals (granted that's the European Cup) but these days they don't get out the group stages or didn't even qualify one time.
Shouldn't that be a sign of something is seriously wrong?
Yet all I saw on TV, Newspapers, fans etc was nothing but excuses. It was always somebody else’s fault and constantly playing the victim. No, how about the side you proudly chant "INGLUUUNNND INGLUUUUND INGLUUUUNND!!!!" Like monotone zombies at are just completely terrible and something needs to be done! So no, I won't cheer for a team that doesn't care and only goes to get a paycheque and a vacation.
I'll go into more details in the HDG-R.
Lastly, I was going to comment on a piece of Internet Drama involving a certain Sonic fan and underaged girls. I've decided not to because I want to see where this goes.
In closing, June was alot of fun. Now if only the rest of the year can follow suit

Goodbye, Casey. Every Scooby fan will miss hearing you say "Zoinks!". May you & Don Messick chow down with Scooby snacks in heaven.
As for Sonic getting an official live action movie, I too have low expectations for this. But there are 2 positives I can say about it. Marza Animation Planet (a division of SEGA Sammy who worked on the Halloween themed short “Night of the Werehog” & most of the CGI cut scenes for Sonic/SEGA games) are involved in this movie and one of the two writers (Van Robichaux) has shown evidence that he’s doing his research on the franchise.
I’ll write a journal about my concerns for this film soon.
With Namco helping Nintendo on the fourth Smash Bros, I think most of us knew he would appear as a guest fighter. After all, they celebrated Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary in 2010, they recently released a compilation of games titled “Pac-Man Museum” for the Xbox Live Arcade/PSN and the new cartoon series “Pac-Man & the Ghostly Adventures” is on its second season.
By the way, do you plan on making a R&R: UK on this new cartoon?

I dunno. I think a Sonic live-action/CGI hybrid film could be good if done in the right way, with plenty of heart. I have a few silly little ideas for the film myself. Might as well share them.
They should make the live-action environment stylized to fit in with the Sonic universe, so it doesn't alienate the CG characters and look uncanny. Taking queues from another live-action/CGI film that was great: WALL-E. Also, In action sequences with the characters, forget live-action and go full CGI, as there is much more opportunity to take advantage of Sonic's speed. The main characters of course, should be Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Robotnik.
If there has to be any human characters, make them extremely minor, and get actors who are professionally trained in mime acting if they have to verbally or physically interact with the animated characters, a' la Bob Hoskins. (Rest In Peace)
Speaking of, keep Dr. Eggman animated. If there has to be any redesign, only make his proportions slightly more balanced. But do not attempt to make him look hyper-realistic like in the 2006 game.
Also, don't put Shadow the Hedgehog into the film. (Or Silver, for that matter) Because Shadow as a character will draw the attention away from Sonic, which is pretty much what the character was created to do. If the film gets a sequel, they should consider putting him there then.
And above all, work on writing an original story and the themes before considering anything else. Maybe even consider a comedic deconstruction of the typical video game plot that Sonic carries, if a comedy is when the makers are going for. I believe it should be a comedic action-adventure, with a little bit of drama thrown in. Though the story shouldn't be too dark, since it takes out a lot of the fun of the series, and the humour (this is just my opinion) should channel that of the Muppets. With humour that doesn't belittle children's intelligence, but is still clever enough to make the older fans laugh.
But like I said, those are just my ideas. One can always dream.

Ah, I forgot to mention the music!
If I were the musical director, I'd have the entire film's score be arrangements of the music from the original genesis games. Like this gem I found: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfq6TB…
If we have to throw in popular culture references in, I'd work some of Michael Jackson's music into the film's soundtrack, since MJ's music has a significant relevance in the history of the Sonic series. I'd throw a little Daft Punk into the soundtrack too.

Well, that was an interesting month.
My reaction to Sony getting their claws on the license for a Sonic movie can be summed up like so: vorahk295.deviantart.com/journ… Also, if so many other groups are now getting more and more freedom from SEGA's iron grasp to do what hey want with the cast, then why are the Archie versions of Sonic, Tails, and Amy still bland cutouts who never develop as characters?
Bieber needs to go back to jail. And I love how people act like One Direction are squeaky clean, when two of them explicitly do drugs (THe others probably do, they just haven't been caught yet), and a third fucks old women. They're getting the same rise and fall that Bieber had, and Cyrus is slowly going through: Introduced as perfectly wholesome, kid-friendly stars who get hugely popular with the pre-teens, then grow up a bit, get their own ideas, and go completely bloody mental.
At this point the only thing that bothers me all that much about Sticks is the stereotyping. The name too, but mostly the stereotyping. Okay, Marine the Raccoon is hated for being an irritating stereotype, and she had no voice acting, and entirely skippable dialogue. Sticks does not have that.
Ah, digital piracy. Even when congress aren't making another overly controlling bill to try and stop it, it still manages to crop up.
Capcom being bought out by Nintendo would sound good. Disney too, but I do have to agree with the issues with Capcom being made to produce more Disney tie-ins, since most Disney films don't exactly lend themselves to gameplay. Not the more recent ones, anyway.
And Football. ENgland losing is the only time I care about football, just because I love the looks on people's faces when they get reminded for the umpteenth time that, holy shit, almost every talented player in the English Premier League is actually not English, and they're all playing for their own countries and smashing England's teeth in. Speaking of teeth, Suarez bites a guy, then rolls around on the floor clutching his own jaw. I don't think it's supposed to work like that.

"Which by Screwattack's logic makes it a BAD GAME by default."
Dude, that's literally the fandom's reaction to ANYTHING they're given. If it's not trying too hard to be Sonic Adventure 3/Sonic Generations 2, it's instantly worse than 06 to these pissbabies. (-cough- Sonic: Lost World -cough-)
Also, not gonna lie, your response to the whole Ubisoft controvorsey is literally nothing but, "OMG, STOP CRITICIZING THE COMPANIES IN WAYS I WANTED YOU TO, YOU MEANIE FEMINIST PIGS!!!HERE'S THE SAME BLAND AD HOMINEMS AND STRAWMEN TO SHOW HOW SMARTER AND SUPERIOR I AM MY "FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS" MATTER MORE!!!!!!!!!"
Like really, is this seriously what the gaming community has devolved to? Hypocritical, bipolar nitwits that will throw hissyfits at one company just because the ending they gave them wasn't the one THEY wanted, but as soon as people criticize another for being pathetically lazy and justifying that by saying they're too lazy, they're instantly SJWs? Are we still using the shitty "nobody cares" argument when we could really use the same thing to question why people are so extremely hypersensitive when people criticize a company just because feminism was vaguely connected to it?
God, this shit is exactly why I'm neutral with the whole feminism topic, this whole thing going between "oversensitive" SJWs and the neckbearded MRAs/Equalists is literally nothing but a battle of the snowflakes to figure out who's the more self entitled, pseudo-intellectual shut-in. Some people from both sides can be cool and all, but fuck, people from both sides are indistinguishably cringe-worthy.
Sorry, but that definitely wasn't you at your best at all.

No, I'm saying Screwattack will say Sonic Boom for the reason "It's not Sonic!" but praise Mario Spinoffs even though that's "Not Mario!" using their own logic.
"Also, not gonna lie, your response to the whole Ubisoft controvorsey is literally nothing but, "OMG, STOP CRITICIZING THE COMPANIES IN WAYS I WANTED YOU TO, YOU MEANIE FEMINIST PIGS!!!HERE'S THE SAME BLAND AD HOMINEMS AND STRAWMEN TO SHOW HOW SMARTER AND SUPERIOR I AM MY "FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS" MATTER MORE!!!!!!!!!"
Not really. I find people are attacking Ubisoft for dumb reasons. Same goes for that needless bitch fit over Samus getting shoes. Modern Feminism isn't about equality, it's about them whinning cus the world isn't revolved around them. If you're going to attack a company, then do it for reasons that matters.
"________ are terrible because they released the same game 5 years in a row" is a valid argument. Milking and dimming the consumer with the same product.
"______ are terrible because NO FEMALE PWOTAGONIST!!!!" is a stupid argument. Because a character or lack of them is not the complete package of the game.

"I find people are attacking Ubisoft for dumb reasons. Same goes for that needless bitch fit over Samus getting shoes."
Yeah, people are so dumb for being unoriginal and lazy. How dare they, let's equate this to some dead horse because we can only rely on overused adhominems and strawmen, right?
"Modern Feminism isn't about equality, it's about them whinning cus the world isn't revolved around them."
Speaking of ad hominems... Yes, why can't we all be EQUAL!!! I mean, it's not FAIR for people in 1st place in Mario Kart to have all the garbage power ups, those damned matriarchal monsters from Nintendo really should have it that EVERYONE can get a Blue Shell just as effectively, even the player at first. That works, right?
Also, that last bit literally was exactly what I was complaining about when I sarcastically said "MY "FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS" MATTER MORE!!!!" Again, why is it suddenly "stupid" to say that Ubisoft is lazy for saying the gender of a character is too hard to design, despite the fact Saints Row has done it for 3 games straight, yet it's rly smrt to complain that they made another sequel? It's not that they didn't have a female protag in the game that's the problem, it's the excuse that they're literally too lazy to do it and to some reason that's instantly a-okay. It wouldn't have been a big deal if it wasn't for that cringe-worthy excuse. But hey, it vaguely connects to feminism so it's instantly "stupid" because talent.
Wait, wasn't there was a controvorsey similar to this that related to frozen having sameface syndrome and those "meanie feminists" were getting all up Disney's ass about it? Where's all the damage control there? Wouldn't it make more sense to criticize the fact people are giving Disney shit for doing the exact same thing they praise the likes of Miyazaki for doing instead of whining about people calling out Ubisoft for being lazy due to the reason YOU didn't want them to? Oh wait, that's right, it's only wrong when the meanie feminist pigs are the selective dumbasses, my bad.

"why can't we all be EQUAL!!"
Because Feminism doesn't want that. Then again we already equal anyway.
"despite the fact Saints Row has done it for 3 games straight"
That's the point. People act like this is the ONLY video game that exists. Ubisoft say "Fuck female characters" so take your business elsewhere. Other games have the oh so special and sacred "Female Characters" so get your fix there.
"Wait, wasn't there was a controvorsey similar to this that related to frozen having sameface syndrome and those "meanie feminists" were getting all up Disney's ass about it?"
Never seen Frozen, so this means nothing to me.
"instead of whining about people calling out Ubisoft for being lazy due to the reason YOU didn't want them to?"
I think you're missing the point. What I'm saying is Ubisoft have driven this series into the ground and the fact there is a "new" game nearly every year without fail is bad. When Call of Duty does it, it's wrong and we all crack jokes about it, but when AssCred does it, we shift the goal post and whine about something minor and insignificant. You can play as a female in virtually any other game on the market. But when 1 game says no it's "OMG THIS IS THE WORST THING IN THE HISTORY OF EVER, WE MUST BOYCOTT THEM AND TELL THEM TO CHECK THEIR PRIVLEGE!!!!"
That is what people like you sound like.
That and AssCred HAS had a female character in that PSP game. So you have had them in this series.
"Oh wait, that's right, it's only wrong when the meanie feminist pigs are the selective dumbasses, my bad."
For a guy who's been throwing around terms like adhominems and strawmen. You seem very passive aggressive in these replies. I am not saying sexism doesn't exist. But what I am saying is you people (as in they) act like AssCred is the ONLY series on the market. This is the same shit I saw with the Street Fighter X Tekken dramuh. Whining into webcams or starting online petitions means jack shit.
You want to hurt these people? STOP buying their games. STOP endorcing them and STOP giving them media exposure they don't deserve.
Of course nobody will do that. So scream like retards and tell campfire stories about "The white straight male boogeyman!"
Go team and all that. Yet I'll keep calling them out on reasons that actually matter. As in lack of creativity and abusing a series that dried up years ago.

What the hell are you talking about? What the hell does the "Alien vs. Predator" tagline have to do with this arguement?
Let me see if I can walk myself through this. Maybe it will make sense.
You openly admitted that you needed Rotten Tomatoes, a bunch of bought and paid for awards, and the brain dead chimps of TGWTG to think for you. After I call out out on that, you dismiss me, citing that I was butting into a public debate. This showed me that you didn't have an argument, thus our short debate is over, and I, for whatever it is worth, won.
Yeah. "Alien vs. Predator". Makes perfect sense. Yep. Total sense.
Don't argue the first part of my summary. You didn't even try to use a personal opinion in your argument with RandomDC3. You couldn't explain why you yourself enjoyed the movie. Instead, you spouted off freshness ratings, awards, and a bunch of internet nobodies giving it their seal of approval as if any of that matters. Since that was the best you could come up with, it shows me, and anyone else who reads these, that you don't know how to think for yourself.
For future reference, don't bang on about what others have said about something you like. None of that matters in the slightest when you are talking about why you enjoyed it. It makes you look incredibly shallow, and as I stated earlier, makes it look like you can't think for yourself.

No, I never said you were.
What I'm saying is, sometimes you don't need to see something if you suspect a lack of quality. Example, I personally didn't enjoy Tangled. I herd Frozen was coming and said "Nope, not gonna be fooled again!"
Also, that argument of "It won an award/made millions of dollars!" does not always mean complete quality. Let me throw that same argument at you.
Twilight made millions of dollars worldwide. Yet I consider it one of the worst movie series of all time!!
