Live a Life [game]

 Live a Life [game]

I HAVE SUCH A LONG AND COMPLICATED HISTORY AND OPINION OF THIS GAME. IT CAME OUT IN 1994 AND WAS SOMETHING I COULD EMULATE SO IT WAS THIS WEIRD UNRELEASED SQUARE GAME FROM THE AGE SQUARE GAMES WERE SOMETHING AMAZING. BUT I ALSO PLAYED IT BEFORE FAN TRANSLATIONS SO I COULD REALLY ONLY DO CAVEMAN AND WRESTLING AND NOT REALLY THE OTHERS. IT'S A WEIRD GAME JAM IN A VERY LITERAL SENSE. THEY GAVE MULTIPLE DEVELOPERS A JRPG GAME ENGINE AND MADE A BUNCH OF REALLY WEIRD ALT GAMES IN GENRES THAT WOULDN'T HAVE COME OUT IN 1994. IT'S REALLY NEAT! IT'S REALLY INTERESTING! IT'S ALSO..... NOT FUN? IT WAS NEVER FUN. I HAVE ALWAYS SORT OF BEEN VERY INTRIGUED BY THIS GAME BUT NOT REALLY ENJOYED IT AT ALL.  THE REMAKE IS ALSO VERY INTERESTING BUT ALSO NOT FUN!

PS. I AM SURE NONLINEAR STORYTELLING WAS ONE OF THE BIG DARING ELEMENTS AT THE ORIGINAL RELEASE BUT IT *REALLY* SHOULD HAVE GONE MIDDLE AGES, 7 CHAPTERS, END CHAPTERS, NOT 7 CHAPTERS, MIDDLE AGES, END CHAPTERS. I GET THEY WANTED TO GET YOU RIGHT INTO THE GIMMICK AND PEOPLE WOULD HAVE THROWN THE GAME OUT PRE-INTERNET WHEN THEY BOOTED IT UP AND IT WAS A REALLY BAD VERSION OF DRAGON QUEST, BUT THE WHOLE GAME WOULD BE BETTER IF THE PLOT WASN'T SECRET TILL THE NONSENSE END, BUT ALSO THE GAME WOULD BE BETTER IF THERE WAS A FIXED FIRST CHAPTER SO EVERY CHAPTER DIDN'T HAVE TO START OUT BABY EASY. IT'S SO CLEAR THE BATTLE SYSTEM HAS A BUNCH OF DEPTH, BUT IT'S ALL SO EASY YOU NEVER GET TO SEE OR USE IT. LIKE SOMETIMES THERE IS ATTACKS THAT FLIP DIRECTION SOMETHING IS LOOKING AND MAN THAT IMPLIES A WAY MORE COMPLEX BATTLE THAN YOU EVER FIGHT THIS WHOLE GAME. ALSO THE GUY'S NAME ISN'T EVEN ODIE! HAVING HIS NAME BE SEMI OBSCURED WOULD SURE HAVE MADE MORE SENSE IF YOU PLAYED HIM IN THE FIRST CHAPTER!

Blight of Humanity [movie]

 Blight of Humanity  [movie] I DON'T KNOW, THIS IS VERY LIKELY THE MOVIE WITH THE MOST EXPLICIT/GRAPHIC SHOCK STUFF I'VE EVER SEEN. THE PREMISE IS PRETTY LITERALLY JUST FILM ON THE MOST NICE DAY OF SUMMER THEN HAVE HORRIBLE STUFF.  I KIND OF HATE HOW IT ENDED. FOR LIKE 95% IT WAS ACTUALLY EARNING IT'S HORRIBLE STUFF WITH A PRETTY STRONG ARTISTIC MESSAGE. AS LONG AS THE DAD/DOCTOR/GOD/PROFESSOR GUY WAS DOING EVERYTHING THROUGH A "LOOK AT HIM GO", "WHY ARE YOU BEING SO DISRUPTIFUL", "YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T ALWAYS HAVE IT YOUR WAY" LENS IT WAS REALLY WORKING AS MEANING *SOMETHING* EVEN IF THAT WAS STILL ABSTRACT. AS SOON AS HE WAS HELPING/REACTING IT MADE IT JUST WAY MORE A DIRECT GROSS OUT FILM THAT SUCKS. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY SOME JESUS ALLEGORY? EH, MEH. PS. THIS HAD A BUNCH OF REAL ANIMAL DEATH. THAT SUCKS. I HATED THAT MORE THAN THE STUFF WITH THE ACTORS. THEY HIT A SALIMANDER WITH A STICK AND HIT A CRICKET WITH A DIFFERENT CRICKET AND THAT ...

Cyberpunk 2077 [game]

 Cyberpunk 2077 [game] I HAVE A BAD HABIT OF PLAYING GAMES TOO EARLY, IN THIS ONE THE GAME LAUNCHED BAD THEN THEY PATCHED IT UNTIL IT WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME THEN PATCHED IT MORE TO JUST GO "JUST LET THEM DO COOL CRAP" THEN I PLAYED IT AND YEAH, IT'S EASY AS HECK, EVEN ON "HARD" BUT THATS FINE. IT'S PRETTY GOOD. ALSO THE GAME CRASHED AT THE END CREDITS AND I AM GOING TO ACCEPT THAT AS THE TRUE ENDING.  PS. I AM OBSESSED WITH HOW THIS DID DATING. MOST GAMES DO THE 'PLAYER SEXUAL' THING WHERE YOU CAN DATE EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE (STRAIGHT ASTARION). THIS GAME DIDN'T DO THAT AND GAVE EVERYONE VERY STRICT REQUIREMENTS. BUT THE GAME GAVE A LOT OF GENDER OPTIONS.  SO THE MORE YOU THINK ABOUT WHO SOMEONE WILL OR WILL NOT DATE THE MORE COMPLICATED IT GETS. I KINDA LIKE THE IDEA IT'S JUST A FUTURE CYBERPUNK THING.

Heartbeeps [movie]

 Heartbeeps [movie] ONE TIME SOMEONE DREW SOME VENN DIAGRAM CIRCLES THAT WERE LIKE "HUMAN EXPERIENCE" AND "ANDREW'S EXPERIENCE" AND THEY WERE FULLY DISCONNECTED. I WATCHED THIS MOVIE SO I COULD MAKE SOME COMMENT ABOUT HOW THIS MOVIE IS THE SAME AND OPPOSITE AS "BLIGHT OF HUMANITY" AND THAT IS *NOTHING*.  THESE ARE NOT MOVIES ANYONE HAS SEEN OR CARES ABOUT. NO ONE IS WONDERING MY OPINIONS ON THE SIMILARITY AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A 0% RATED AMERICAN COMEDY WITH ROBOTS AND JERRY GARCIA'S ONLY SPEAKING ROLE AND A GERMAN MOVIE ABOUT RAPE AND MURDER WHERE A DWARF POOPS IRL ON CAMERA. THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO WRITE SOME ESSAY CONNECTING THE TWO.  PS. THIS MOVIE IS JUST NOT GOOD. I FEEL ENTIRELY SURE THE ROBOT PROPS ALL BROKE AND THEY HAD TO TAKE OUT LIKE A THIRD OF THE MOVIE. IT ENDS SO ABRUPTLY.
