I want to see a character on a TV show, don't care that much about their role or importance, whose ethnicity is best described as "Everything".I mean it! I know a fair amount of people here at UCI who have at least three of the ethnicities: European, African, Latino, Asian, Native American, Middle Eastern.Some have more.It could be a sitcom called "American", with the big draw being people trying

CNN has discovered how to do this.It's actually remarkably simple. You see,there's this whole war thing going on in Isreal/Lebanon, and Isreal is mainly fighting by firing shells into Lebanon.So they send correspondants (and Anderson Cooper) into Isreal, to the ISF Artillery emplacements. This way, if they're lucky, they can do live reports to the actual shows, wiht the occasional flash of light

I've played a lot of games in my time. Sometimes, they have good stories.Occasionally.Every so often.Okay, only when Bioware, Blizzard and Bungie are behind the wheel. And only the later Blizzard games at that. And occasionally Square. But that's beside the point.The point is, they usually don't have the deep plot. Not much in the way of reasons for the enemy to be an enemy.But there are three

This is a very awesome anime series.And, like any good anime series, it's weird.A special kind of weird.A clinical, psychotic kind of weird.It's hard to describe. But it runs on Adult Swim, and it'll go back to the beginning soon, so it's something rather easy to see. But it's actually rather deep, clever and really well done.Just gotta get used to the Engrish, but it's not too hard...Watch it

I'm not an Ox! I'm a Rat!Now, backing up a few thoughts...I've always thought that I was born in the year of the Ox according to the chinese Zodiac. Back in elementary school, around the time of the lunar (aka chinese) new year, we'd get taught about it and also we'd learn, based on what year we were born, what animal of the zodiac we are. And 1985 was the year of the Ox, the year I was born.But

So, I'm watching this coverage of yesterday's Iran-Mexico World Cup match. And something beautiful is shown.Now, the Mexican goalie's father recently died. As in a few weeks ago.

Superman, apparantly, isn't gay.This line is just so awesome: "Superman "is probably the most heterosexual character in any movie I've ever made," said Bryan Singer, director of "Superman Returns.""Which, I'm sad to say, immediately brings up this question:So, is Wolverine a little bicurious? Spiderman? Maybe Mary Jane?Hey, he said that Superman is more straight than them...

My 131 class is spending an hour and a half on games on Tuesday and it reminded me of a train of thought that I came across a while ago: How games have EFFECTIVELY been used as learning tools in the past. The list that I've come up with so far isn't very deep, but interesting:There's really two categories of games in the teaching area. The first was, for me, Number Munchers and whatever typing

One very impressive example is Taki from the Soul Calibur series. The reason for this is usually attribiuted to an overactive male libido. And, well, yes, that is a factor, but its more than that. It's actually mostly a logistical reaon.

If you consider Medal of Honor for hte PC as the beginning of the industry's obsession with WW2, gamers have been playing WW2 games longer than the war actually was.Its kinda sad, if you think about it.

Xbox 360 comes out today.Apparantly has a good opening volley with Call of Duty 2, Kameo and Project Gotham Racing leading the pack, with Perfect Dark Zero coming in with some mixed reviews and the sports games, well, falling flat.It should be noted that the launch window (which runs for three months but might as well go until the PS3 and Revolution are released) has some very strong titles in it

At least in terms of mindset.I keep seeing this commercial for "ESPN Shotblock Basketball", a toy that ESPN is peddling night and day. Its basically a basketball hoop whose rim occasionally flaps up to block the shot.And, well, I see this and automatically see how foolish a concept it is as a toy or a game.You see, a game becomes frustrating when the part that makes it difficult is either random

I was thinking today about how much people love the Starcraft universe. For those who don't know, Starcraft is a Real Time Strategy game set in the distant future in a far off sector. The storyline, while strong, has a few cliche's and a villian or two whose motivations are never discovered, but on the whole its a very good storyline, especially for a game.But what struck me about it is the fact

If you watch ESPN, you've probably seen an ad for the console version of EA's hit game Battlefield 2. A $250,000 prize for the best player!Now, the PC version has become something of an instant classic. A massive military shooter game with deep strategic concepts is a great thing, and despite EA's best efforts to screw up the game post-release, Battlefield 2 has thrived.However, the console

Ooooooooh, aaaaaaaaahOkay, ignoring completely warranted cynicism about video game translations into film (Resident Evil 2, Super Mario Brothers, Streetfighter (live action only), etc), I've gotta say I'm looking forward to this. They've got many of staples: A lot of the monsters look like the ones from Doom 3 (the most graphically realistic looking of the games), the chainsaw and BFG are there,

With my PS2, I kept running into the storage barrier, having to either delete game saves or buy more memory cards in order to maintain paranoid level save patterns (where you create a new save game every ten minutes).

Okay, I should've written about this a while ago, but this happened during spring break, and my attention wasn't exactly focused on blogging.Anyway, on March 6, 60 Minutes ran a story on Grand Theft Auto, and its relationship to a crime that occured, that was linked to the game by the moronic comment by the suspect upon arrest: "Life is like a video game. We all have to die sometime."Not an exact

A list of the top 100 Americans!Well, according to the half-million voters online and the Discovery Channel.Its an interesting list, to say the least. The big athletes (Lance Armstrong and MJ), most of the founding fathers, and some recent big innovaters and buisnessmen (Gates and Jobs, for example).And then there's the... other ones.The MJ accused of molestation is there, rubbing elbows with all

Oooh, ahhh...Yes, there is a link to the pretty little trailer.Now, I'm oohing and ahhing like nobody's buisness. I mean, that's freaking beautiful.Of course, no gameplay footage. Its just the "artists concept" of what the game will be like.Yeah.Okay, I'm all for EA showing people what their next round of games is going to look like, but, come on, this is pointless! There's no mention of any new

Okay, so the Catholics lost a conservative Pope and now we have an even MORE conservative Pope.Whoopty do.Fortunately, I'm not Catholic.Hell, I'm really not sure what I am. Mildly-agnostic who celebrates Christian holidays for convenience, I suppose...And, besides, what does the Pope actually do?I mean, yes, he's the religious leader for only god and some highly paid statisticians knows how many

Yes, I realize that I haven't been updating my blog in a while. Things have been... interesting, to say the least.So I suppose that I should just try again, get back to updating.However, it should be noted that my old design was, well, bad. So I've traded it in for a bare-bones style until I can remember how to do some web designing.I'm a bit rusty.Well, a lot rusty, actually.This current design

Adding to his stock of being the most awesome english teacher I've ever had, my professor gave out extra credit (in the form of extra participation points) to those the class deemed "Most Helpful", as according to a survey he handed out today.I tied for second, netting myself an extra 2/3 of a grade on participation.Woot!He also included some funny things that were said on the surveys.[Helpful

It's a web page translator. You can filter any site through it:www.gizoogle.comI tried it with Camus' Myth of Sysiphus. It's pretty funny, especially if you scroll to the last few paragraphs:http://

I'm writing this essay for my english class, and it occurs to me, I don't believe a word of what I'm saying!Sure, the technical aspects behind it, I see them. But the conclutions that I'm drawing from them aren't something I actually think.I'm chewing out this published playwright, who was nominated for a rather prestigeous award, about how she seems to have done a half-assed adaptation of "The

On friday I broke down and got a blockbuster card, so that I could play video games that I probably don't want to shell out fifty bucks for.Sixty, come next-generation consoles.So I get two weeks to play a game and beat it. Usually not too hard.I was going to rent EA's latest Baseball game, see how it was, but it was rented out. So I got this little game released a year ago called Ninja Gaiden,

Well, more preachy than anything else. The word "crusade" was floating around in my mind...CBS News: GameSpeak: Jack Thompson on Video Game ViolenceFor some context, Jack Thompson is "one of the most outspoken and visible critics of "violent entertainment." He has represented victims of "video game-related violence" and in 1992, the American Civil Liberties Union named him one of its "top ten"

Okay, maybe I was a bit harsh...So, it looks like that the NFL was the one who initiated the idea to sell EA the exclusive rights. EA DID still buy them, but the distinction is a rather important one.Its the NFL who's evil little corporate devils.EA just made a deal with them :).

Sooooo can't wait for this game to come out.Conker was on Xbox Magazine's demo disc, which I got mostly so I could play the xbox-live enabled demo of Unreal Championship 2. You only get one level in Conker, which is supposedly the first level of the game, but god, its so fun.In Conker, you play as the squirrel Conker, who is fighting the evil Tediz, who are effectively Teddy Bears.

At last, I have a computer who's power can run GBA ROMs at full speed with sound!Um, I mean, its shiny?Its a powerbook G4, and quite a nice one at that. I'm not really missing the fullsize keyboard, or my old comp's huge screen, since this one is so much faster its freaking rediculous.I mean, it has no problem opening all of my webcomics in tabs! It takes like five minutes max on this comp, and

Okay, I've given up trying to keep track of all of my webcomics. So I decided to use the space to keep track of all of my various Gaming Rants. So, voila, all of my gaming rants as of January 2004, most of which come in the last four months.And more are to come...

Back at LAHS, I wasn't very thrilled about our sports teams.Cause they kinda sucked.Yeah, I guess there was a bright spot every so often, but it wasn't very... impressive.Certaintly nothing to get all hyped up about.But UCI does have a decent sports team.Recognize a school?Yeah, I know baseball doesn't get the respect that football or basketball do, but its sorta nice to be ranked :).

1: They purchased Tech-TV and threw out everything by Tech-TV except for X-play, Unscrewed, and Screensavers.2: Judgement Day: They take two people, one with a good grasp of what makes a good game, who can understand and enjoy games of all genres, and match him up with a person with the maturity of an infant, the taste of a tech neophite, who is willing to trash a game if it has turn-based combat

Whenever you watch TV and someone is playing a video game, you immediately look to see what game it is.And you recongnize it.And you know whether or not the character playing the game is actually playing it.That is all :).

This is something dad told me about a while ago. Apparantly people in Ohio, especially during the winter, think that California, despite the temperate weather, is a horrible place. Earthquakes, moral decay, whatever. Pick a reason and you've got people in Ohio hating California. Because, after all, if California really is so great and temperate in the middle of winter, THEN WHY ARE THEY IN OHIO?
