Katy Perry looks like she has some fantastic girly parts. God damn those patches! Hey Hugh Hefner, forget wanting to put Sarah Palin in Playboy, get Katy Perry instead!

Hakuna Matata (Afrika) PS3 Review

Hakuna Matata (Afrika) PS3 Review

Note: I bought the Asian version of the game, and since I don't read or speak Japanese, I had to stumble my way through the game or find guides to use. It doesn't seem to take away too much from the gameplay experience, but I felt that should be noted. Also I have not played this game all the way through to completion.

Liked:

1. Very beautiful graphics and animations. They aren't quite photorealistic or jaw droppingly amazing, but they are VERY gorgeous. They do have a "wow" factor when you first start seeing them. The animal animations are the most eye-catching. You could very nearly imagine you were watching real animals sometimes.

2. Good soundtrack. The instrumental score is very nice, and reminds me of John Williams sometimes. Excellent stuff, although possibly somewhat repetitive.

3. Tons of animals. I think every African animal I could think of, plus many more are included in this game. All of them are done in great detail.

4. The National Geographic library has some really nice photos of the animals in it. It's a shame I couldn't read all the text.

5. You can export the photos that you take onto a memory card, and then transfer them to your PC. Unfortunately they only export as 672x448 pixel PNGs, so desktop wallpapers are out of the question.

6. There's several cameras and lenses to unlock, along with new areas with new animals. This kind of helps keep you playing. I think if everything was available from the start, it would get a little old pretty quickly.


Didn't Like:

1. Long load times in the beginning, plus a 2.5GB mandatory install. Also the save times are long, and the save game file is something like 378 megs.

2. If you get too close to an aggressive animal, it charges you and you black out and wake up back at base camp. That's fair enough, but you lose any shots you had taken before you got gored. THAT can SUCK.

3. There's no fast travel option for traveling to different areas, with the exception of the Base Camp after you gain control of the jeep. So that means everytime you go back to base, you have to spend part of your limited day manually driving back to the area you want to be in. I suppose it's realistic, but it's a bit annoying. Especially if you got gored by a buffalo a few times trying to get a great mug shot.

4. It does get a bit old going around photographing animals. It's fun to try and get cool shots of the animals, but the equipment you have even a few hours into the game is pretty shitty. I'll have to see if I have the patience to get deeper into the game and unlock better stuff.


Yay: The sheer beauty of the game, just needs to be experienced. It's definitely one of those "experience" type games. If the concept of the game appeals to you, it's worth a play. +1

Final BS Rating: +3 HARDCORE

True Blood and Heroes

I've totally gone off both True Blood and Heroes. I never really got into True Blood, and after episode 3 I decided to quit watching it. There was too much gayness in the episode and everytime Sookie or Bill open their mouths I feel like muting the volume. I couldn't stand Bill's "friends" who I'm sure he'll end up fighting against in future episodes.

I'm sick of the whole Anne Rice style vampires who when they aren't out feeding, mainly lounge around and have sex with any human they can find. Doesn't matter what gender they are, anything seems to do in this type of vampire world. Homosexuals and bisexuals seem to be disproportionately represented in this style of vampire. Clearly written by women, for women.


Heroes is a continuing disappointment. The first season was great. Couldn't wait for new episodes to hit. The second season went downhill fast, and thank goodness the writers' strike cut it short. Now having watched the first episode of season 3, it's time to kiss this sorry show goodbye. I don't think I've ever been this disappointed with a TV show.

The plotline is so convoluted that you need to devote time to reading websites that detail all the plots and characters to really have a clue what is going on. And I've seen every episode that's aired on TV, so I'm not even missing anything.

Characters die, or appear to die and then return more often than even in comic books. Definitely shitty writing to try and pull this "twist" as often as they have. It's ok maybe once, but pull that shit as much as they do, and people stop caring as much about the characters. "What, he died? Oh no worries he'll be back next episode, or maybe by the end of this one."

You lose some emotional attachment for a character if you feel like they can't really die for good. Through season one we worried if Sylar would actually kill Claire or some of the other Heroes. But now by season 3, we're so jaded that it doesn't even faze us if someone gets "killed". We also know who the big stars of the show are, so if one of their characters goes down, we automatically know they'll be back. And all of this fucking time travel bullshit has to fuckin' stop. (I'm talking about the "future characters" that pop in and out of the timeline, not Hiro's time traveling)

Meh, why even care anymore?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Can't wait for the new season of Dexter to start. Hopefully that doesn't go down the shitter as well.

True Blood: S1 E2 TV Review

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 2 Review

What I Liked:

1. A couple more interesting plot twists.

2. Anna Paquin looks nice in a bikini top and sun dress...

3. Boobs!


What I Didn't Like:

1. Like I predicted in my review of the first episode, we get to see the vampire Bill completely dominate the same two humans who so seemingly easily nearly killed him in the last ep. He kicks their asses so hard, and destroys their place so badly that the humans think a tornado killed them. Makes me roll my eyes at last week's plotline where Sookie has to rescue him. Weak writing in my opinion.

Final BS Rating: +2 PRETTY GOOD


Closing Statement: The show still only just barely holds my interest enough to keep watching until the next episode. The show is decent, but not great. Can't wait for the new season of Dexter to start...

Garfunkel Forza 2 Cars

I picked up Forza Motorsport 2 for the Xbox 360 about 3 weeks ago, so I'm very late to the Forza party. I created a few cars with a cartoon version of Garfunkel's face on them. They're pretty shitty, and the couple I tried to auction didn't even get a single bid, even at just 5000 credits.

I'm posting some screen grabs of a few of them here for anybody who likes my Garfunkel Youtube videos.

More of My Spore Creations

Here's some more Spore creations for anyone interested. A couple naughty ones, plus a few "serious" creations. I particularly like the air vehicle and Titzilla.

From the Top:
1. Heffalump
2. Horny Erectus
3. Titzilla
4. Death Bat
5. Land Shark


To use them in your game, just click on the images, download them, and then copy them into your "My Documents/My Spore Creations/Creatures" folder. (or into "Vehicles" for the vehicles. Should be obvious.)

My Spore Penis Monsters

Here's a few of my badass Spore penis monsters. And when I say badass, I mean they are shit. But hey, since Spore isn't very fun to actually play, and creating and sharing monsters is the most interesting thing to do, here ya go.

To add them to the game, simply download these PNG files, and put them in your
"My Documents/My Spore Creations/Creatures" folder. They'll show up in your Sporepedia and you might actually encounter them in your game. Have fun with my cock'n'balls!

From the top:
1. Cockasaurus Rex
2. DickaDactyl
3. ScrotumSaurus
4. Wang-a-Roo
