Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hello losers! I am making this news post to tell you all about three games I am playing. This would be MORE helpful if Newgrounds just got with the times and started allowed image hotlinking and spoiler tags, because lord knows they can't use the server space for that.

Anyway, the first game is Fate/Extra, anyone who has played Fate/Stay Night, Fate/hollow ataraxia, fate/unlimited codes or has read Fate/Zero and or watched the anime adaptations will know doubt be intrigued.. if you haven't played, read, or whatever do to the ignorance of anime or of Fate/Stay Night being a visual novel where there involves hentai and you can't get past that because you believe every visual novel is for losers who just want to fap to something. I say drop the moral bullshit and play Fate/Extra. If this is a challenge then fuck yourself with the closest sharp object, thanks. But those of a rational nature and those who own a PSP will like this game as it is an RPG with gameplay that's Rock Paper Scissors on steroids. You get three servants that you can pick of, and fight all sorts of powerful enemies. The concept is essentially alternate universe Fate where instead of the Holy Grail War taking place on Earth, it takes place in a virtual simulation. And if you don't understand what I'm saying, just try to read a spoiler free wiki of the game and save yourself a world of hurt. But this game is awesome, buy it broskis

Next game, League of Legends. Which is pretty much DOTA only cheaper. But, it's pretty fun, if you wanna kill some time. Ofcourse, I am not a pro at it but I do know how to handle Sona pretty well... oh my. But since the new masteries came out I was all why you do this Riot? and fucked my shit up a bit.

Oh well.

Final game, Ass Creed Revelations. Ubisoft's annual AssCreed game, I got it yesterday and it rocks my socks. The opening cutscene is awesome and the trailer hooked me. There's a few new gameplay features, but nothing beats stabbing guards till they die. So yeah

XboxLive: MattTheKatNG
LoL: MattTheSpoonyKat

See ya losers!

I am digging it, I really am, and the multiplayer is fun as hell, if you have it for the 360 and want to help me get the Abstergo Employee of the Month Achievement, and I can help you folks with getting achievements. Because I am awesome.

BOW BEFORE COMPU-HORSE!

What would be more awesome is a game based off of Manos: The Hands of Fate where you play as the greatest character in film history:

TORGO!

Okay, I believe I have spent a little too much time away from Newgrounds and been hanging around a few too many animefags but I have started taken a liking to Vocaloids. I really don't know how it came about, I guess it had to do with someone linking me Love Is War and well, I guess one song leads to the next. That and I already have alot of J-Pop.

Anyway, a Vocaloid is a computer synthsized voice program developed by Yamaha. Each voice has it's own particular character representative of their voices you could say.

Now, I initially had pessimism because I was informed that vocaloids were stupid. So I stayed away, but I then discovered that they're neat. The whole character premise on a music program is neat and it's a nice use of technology. Plus, the songs are often good if only because Japan is insane and produces these songs in numbers. Thanks Nico Nico Douga. So, some songs.

Enjoy!

The site devoted to taackling every Geek Niche I go dancing mad over.

Visit it as it is much better than posting something here... I just like to keep y'all informed... seriously Tom and folks, would it hurt to make the blog system more like Blogspot?

Dancing Mad!

Still waiting for NG to support blip videos.

I deleted all the porn off my computer, videos and pictures alike. The reason being is not for space issues (though that's a bonus, and it made my computer run alot better). No, the reason is that porn is far too distracting, I have many projects to do and porn interferes with them, making it hard to follow through on those tasks. I usually spend hours on websites looking for porn, get bored, look through my folder and only look at one pic out of a thousand. Completely unneeded. I am also not gonna be masturbating for atleast a month. This is because I feel masturbating takes out my energy to socialize. So yeah, the hand is banned.

Plus, I need to start working soon, get money and buy... I'm not telling you, let's just say it involves magic and big tripods and a jacket and a gun and toys and LOUD NOISES!

Also, God is dead, all religions are bullshit, Carlin is your messiah, start reading Max Stirner and Nietzsche and kill the Irate Gamer.

So, heres something for you all :D

PS NG, allow embeding for Blip.

Heil the supreme rule of the Chinese government, and Tibet is full of pussies.

Actually, fuck that, HAIL ZEON! HAIL ZEON! HAIL ZEON! HAIL ZEON! HAIL ZEON! HAIL ZEON! HAIL ZEON! HAIL ZEON! HAIL ZEON!

I honestly don't know how or why I've stayed on this site for so long, maybe it was my own idiotic determination in my younger days, or maybe I've been here to long to just leave.

Whatever the reason, it doesn't change i've been on this hellhole, which was thought at a point in my life to be a haven. Man, i was sure proven wrong. But, I'll be here for a while, I'm not done with this site yet, it just kind of made me realize how the hell I got here in the first place.

But instead of doing that, I'd just like to thank Newgrounds for those past 5 years, and the users that made this place worth while to hang onto.

So thanks to the finest people on this site including those who aren't here anymore:

wwwyzzerd, Green-Lanturn, Moloko, Gooch, Maus, Veryproudofya, Slightly Crazy Dude, ShitOnAStick, deckheadtottie, Bobby-Jenkins, Red-Circle, BananaBreadMuffin, SardonicSamurai, bigbadron, Bahamut, 36Holla, and Dobio

Here is a special list for my favourite users though, hope the guys above don't get to jealous ;D

Alastor: Possibly the coolest, most down to earth moderator of all time. Great guy overall
BatDan: This guy is very cheerful, and very smart. I hope only good things for him.
Gendo: This one sure is going to be long, here it goes... I'd like to say this here right now, Gendo has to be my best friend I've ever made on this website, he's funny, smart, and just fucking awesome. He's really a person you can get along great with, and his quick wit is infectious. You'll understand him really fast, and know he's just himself. A cool guy.
JadeTheAssassin: Here's to the first NGer I've ever met in real life. I was quite nervous that day, being I was on a field trip, and planned a mini meet on that day. So, I didn't know what to expect. Jade is a very sweet person, and very funny. I just wish I hadn't been so nervous that day, I would probably be more talkative, but I didn't know what to expect. so, hope next time around I'm not a total nervous douche :p
Mast3rmind: This guy was real damn cool back in my early days were everyone was on me like wild fire, and he's the guy who told me not to let a bunch of dumbass faggots get to me on the internet. Not only that, he's funny and pretty much the polar opposite of many newgrounds users.
Mendou: I knew this guy from the Anime club, and he was just cool, and easy going. Mendou, you are a real winner.
Zen-Gaijin: Possibly the oldest person on this site in spirit alone, he's done so damn much for the site, and it's a about damn time he was given proper credit. Zen is a fucking genius, and one of the nicest people here, hope this guy becomes more active again, we need him here.
ZeroAsALimit: The master of posts, and obscure music of all types. This man is hysterical and not a cunt. the best perv here really. I raise a glass for ZAAL.

Well, I think I sucked enough cocks for one news post, but I mean it; it's been five years and these people have made Newgrounds a fun place despite the many flaws it has going for it. Possibly the saving grace that kept me here for this long are the people who I find awesome.

So, Happy five years to be, I hope to be around for a bit longer, so I won't be gone for a while. Here's to you, Newgrounds.

Getting my Wisdom Teeth pulled on October 23rd. Shit is going to suck major dick. I'm getting all 4 pulled, and I'm not going to be gassed when it happens.

ON THE PLUS SIDE, I'LL GET PAINKILLERS FOR IT!!!

HURRAH!!!!!!!

Edit: got them pulled, and i'd like to say god doesn't not exist... not an invisble man in the sky or a teenage girl. GOD IS A FUCKING PILL! IBUPROFEN IS BLISS!

Well, it has been a while. Figured I'd make a new news post and all that. I figured it was time to do this. I need to basically explain this series, and the different flaws, and also to dispel some ignorance about the games. Obviously, if you've payed attention to the title you'll know this is about Final Fantasy, and to those who haven't: OI WAKE UP!

Anyway, Final Fantasy is a franchise that I have come to enjoy, and respect, and at the same time be pessimistic, and angry about it. Now, to people who like Japanese Role Playing Games have obviously played at least one of these games in a point of their lives. So, you'll understand the need to be cynical about these tyopes of games. Ofcourse, there are twat mouths who like Westernized Role Playing Games, and because they are arrogant faggots who enjoy customizing characters, they are really fucking critical of JRPGs. I Honestly can understand their angst and all that, but to say that they aren't even RPGs is an absurd claim. Now, there are many differences between WRPGs, and JRPGs, but you could easily find all that on wikipedia anyway,. Basically, there is very few differences between the two genres anyway, and since both of utilizes grind, after grind after motherfucking grind, then I can easily tell you all to be quiet, shut the fuck up, and let people play the games they wanna play. So, shitting all over games like Final Fantasy is only gonna make you look like an egotistical troll, who thinks that you know more about video games then others.

So, now to actually get on with the whole rant about Final Fantasy. That first WALL OF TEXT was and is to keep pessimistic faggots from trying to shit all over this new bulletin. Now, here is where I get into Final Fantasy. As most of you know, and have noticed, if it's the "Final Fantasy" how come there are more then 13 titles and spinoffs incorporating that name? Easy, when Square was about to go under, they decided to get Hironobu Sakaguchi to create a game that would mark the final nail in the coffin for the company. He said he's be much better at creating a story then an action game. So, that's how Final Fantasy came to be. When it actually sold very well, and got critical release in the states they decided that this series had potential and can keep it going. Then it turned into milking of the fucking franchise. Now that's all and good, because it's a corporation now, and that's what corporations do, but it usually causes the quality of the games to go down, or other games to be vastly overshadowed. Fans of the EarthBound series, Chrono Series, Phantasy Star and Fire Emblem series you probably understand this. But, it pays to be cynical, so lets get the fucker over with. Final Fantasy is not the greatest series of all time. It is under refined and it lacks what alot of WRPG fans keep complaining about. I mean, I personally don't mind turned based combat, and random encounters, but one it gets into the 7th generation of gaming, it needs a bit of an update. At the very lest no random encouters. Lost Odyssey has this problem, which is part of the reason why critics give it mixed reviews. But, in all honesty, it's a great game, with enjoying characters, and some fun gameplay elements. But, alot of people enjoy choices in modern WRPG, every does. and as much as I love the story and linearity in games such as Final Fantasy, could I get something of a choice? I mean, even if it's the choice not to get an item, or a character for my party, I still would love something, so I can get a higher replay value out of the games. Which is why I call Final Fantasy 6, and Chrono Trigger the best games of all time. Chrono Trigger is short, and sweet, with so much choice, and multiple endings. It also helps that the combat is great, and all that. Final Fantasy 6 is more about story then choice. But, the fact that it's so fun to play. I am a bit vague on the details, but I just love the game.

Now, you've probably grown tired of my bitching, and my criticism, but this series need it, all games have their flaws, and some time it's the flaws that make them stand out from other games that want to be the same fucking game. Also, notice the amount of run-on sentences I put into this, it's a problem I have, but I honestly don't care enough, so they'll keep coming. Just like how Final Fantasy constantly changes it's game systems. No two Final Fantasy games are exactly the same. They may borrow elements from the preceding games, but it's an attempt at originality. Now, this is a huge problem, because it can easily alienate fans, and be a complete miss altogether. However, we can easily welcome the changes made, and it could be fun to play. However, story, and character development might be hurt by this. Like Final Fantasy X-2. Admittedly, the game play is fun, and adds a whole new challenge. But, it was a bad story, with bad characters, and pretty bleh music. But, it's still a fun, and neat game. Now, I will explain Final Fantasy VII quickly. I'm not a huge fan of the game, and I don' really care for most of the main characters except for Yuffie, and maybe Red 13. The story doesn't seem as interesting as 4, 5, and 6's stories (AKA the holy fucking grail of the series). But is it a bad game? I doubt it. Is it the worst in the series? Probably, but I still would give that title to another game in the series. The story may not be the best, but it is nice, and even though materia iis a horrid fucking system, it did start Limit breaks, and is cool. Aside from a lame main character, and villian and the whole revolution shit, it's not flawed enough to prevent a person from liking it. However, the whole Aeris Dies thing is redundant, considering that in Final Fantasy V, a better main character (Galuf) dies at the hand of ExDeath. Now, I haven't played the old NES games, but from my understanding, excluding 3 they're rather meh, and archaic. I haven't played 7 all the way, because i was using an emulator, but I played it enough to get the gist of it. The other PS1 games I haven't played, though I hear great things about IX, and that game is pretty easy to find around here, all i need is a PS1 memory card. (Those reading this, and have a spare donate PLOX! I need it for MGS). VIII I hear is meh, but actually has a main character in the PS age that doesn't look like a total chode. Sure, Squall looks like Gackt, but he looks more masculine then Cloud, Zidane, Tidus, and Vaan. XII I haven't played either, but I understand, it's not too flawed, and it doesn't use random encounters. However, it is totally true that it is exactly like Star Wars, and Vaan is the Jar Jar binks of the game, according to people who have played this game. X, despite the sequel being crap, is a great game, with some awesome characters. Tidus might suck, but he is pretty useful, and actually has a fucking role in the story. I mean, most people feel they don't get alot out of JRPGS, since it basically feels like they're wheeling their character from one cut scene to the other, with a bit of grind in between. Nevertheless, these games don't deserve retarded critism, and if you like the games, and enjoy the story you're not gonna care.

Now, here is where I get to the upcoming title in the series. Final Fantasy XIII, and the Fabula Nova Crystalis series. Now, this game, i'm taking the Yathzee Croshaw approach, and being rather cynical of this title, considering only a rental at best. Because the main character, who is called Lightning (but is thankfully not her real name), is basically supposed to be a female version of Cloud, with a gunblade. Now, I really want to like this game, but I can't considering how it's 2 years away, and that Square hasn't really said anything promising about this game. I mean, it is on the 360, which i like, and people who claim this is hurting the series are fucking stupid. People will get the PS3 version, but to those who have the 360 only wil get the game. Their is no reason for people to make a big deal out of it, it's happening, live with it. The game will probably not be too great anyways. So yeah, that's really all I have to say on this.

Now, I am gonna conclude this whole rant, or wall of text by saying this. Never get your hopes up for any game, you may get all your hopes shoved up your ass. Play the games before forming an opinion, don't let a single review change it, or persuade you otherwise. Don't be a total dick, and think that every game in a franchise is terrible, it only makes you to be a dick, and no one will take your opinions seriously of a game. Especially if you have giving the game any proper consideration. It pays to be a cynic, but play the games any way because it may change your whole premise of a game you thought might be shit, and in reality is not half bad. All and all, don't be a faggot, try it before you buy it, and don't be a fucking tool.

That is all. Thanks.
