So, went to see this on the weekend.
Was alright, but god was it long! By the time i'd got out of the cinema, most of my day had gone. Hell, it went from light to dark in the time it took to ride the bus home...
Anyway, the film was fairly average to me. There werent too many thrills/chills in my opinion. Dont get me wrong, there were exciting moments throughout the film, but more often then not it was just repeating itself, just adding a little to the scene.
I must have seen the same scene at least 4 times, just with a differant setting to it...
1 - Family drives through city as the ground around them and the city itself crumbles apart.
2 - Family drives an aeroplane off a runway as the runway itself falls apart.
3 - Family drives same aeroplane off another runway as it falls apart, while freshly erupted volcano rains fireballs down upon them.
4 - Family pilots Russian jet out of crumbled Las Vegas runway as a 'kill-all' dust-cloud races towards them.
Apart from that, there are some moments that feel like they have been snuck out of other films. Such as seeing a ship being hit by a huge tidlewave. A noteworthy mention though, as you see the president and the white-house wiped out by a John F Kennedy battleship. Just made me smile for some reason...

Ok, so I found out that Uteda Hikaru will be playing in london february next year. Its on a friday, but I really wanna go to see this. Would definately have to book a hotel nearby though (There's plenty of travelodges by the london O2 acadamy, so thats no trouble.)
This is way in advance, but is there anyone else who would want to see her?

- Some more things that are pissing me off lately
-
- mattdarkzero

angry
Yeah, I mentioned yesterday about how annoyed I got when trying to shop around Asda, which has brought up a new list of things that are just really annoying me right now...
So supermarkets, Ive got nothing against them. The mostly have a good layout, and only occasionally decide to hide/get rid of the good things. Its the general public who seem to aimlessly wander around without any sense of purpose that gets me.
I had a fair bit of stuff to pick up on the saturday, so for the first time, I had to grab a trolley, and with that probably sealed my fate...
First off, other people with trolleys just seem content with wondering from aisle to aisle, oblivious to whats around them. Some people stopped at the end of an aisle. Just stopped! They wernt looking as something on the shelves, they wernt checking a shopping list or even looking at their phone, they just stopped, staring off into nothingness as other people were forced to squeeze around her to get in and out of the aisle, making problems for all.
Then there was the old woman with a trolley ahead of me at one point (Joy, 2 of my annoyances in one!) Prooving how aimlees people are, she goes down past few aisles, going the same way I am, before stopping to look at something, at this time, I've moved into one of the aisles, as one of the store workers is coming by with one of those cage things, full of stuff to go on display. Now after he goes past, I notice the same eldery woman suddenly go back the way she came!
Even better, the people who leave their trolly unattended for long periods of time. Not I dont mind so much if they leave their trolleys on the sides of an aisle, so people can get past, but when they just stop them randomly and wander off into the aisle because some shiney new product distracted them, I had to move one out of the way just to get where I was trying to go.
Even without a trolley, they still get in the way. I went to look at the DVDs/Games, first off there were people blocking the one side of them, and because its right by the clothing department, they had a rack of dresses next to the DVDs, essentially making these people into a barricade. Try to get round the other side, and some woman has blocked the other side with her trolly as she stares at the clothes...
Sunday was no better for this. I went first thing on the sunday to Sainsburys, just to pick up some little extras, yet somehow, half the towm must have decided to come along, as it was bloody packed. ON A SUNDAY! What happened to this 'Day of Rest' that so many people obey? Its seems more like any other day of the week! Just with smaller working times.
-
Kids at work have been annoying me too lately. They seem to have an answer for everything right now, including stuff they dont know about.
I was called down to a class, as one student couldnt log on. So I put in the regular user-name and password, but with no luck.
First thing about 3 of the kids say, 'Oh the caps-locks on', with one of them repeating themselves as I try the alt. password, thinking I dont know what I'm doing.
I get this almost every time, seeing how they're too gormless to pay attention to the teacher or their own work when I'm in there. Its amazing how they notice I have the caps-lock on when I put in my password, yet they never seem to notice if they put in on by mistake.
(I'd hate to see these kids try to brag at being top-class hackers when most of them think caps-lock instantly means a password wont work.

Why do some game companies decide to release a game on differant dates for differant consoles, if its only a few weeks differance?
I can understand when a game maybe takes an extra month or 2 in order to port over to another console, due to some playing issues.
Hell, I can understand large gaps between releases, when they announce the game for another console later on, because they say they are giving it a bunch of extra features.
But 2 weeks? Why not just put back the entire release 2 weeks? It'd be like launching a new food parlour, but only giving people one or two options, because they still need to give the other stalls a coat of paint or something!

Ah, I feel a little better now...
- Hell happened to my weekend?

You know when you have a weekend planned out for yourself, but everything seems to just come apart for no reason? That seemed to happen to me this weekend...
Saturday was going to be a long weekend out. Look round the shops, get some christmas shopping done, along with picking up dragonage and then have a nice meal at woktastic.
Sunday was going to be a little more quiet, but still fun, maybe a little dragonage, before sitting back to watch wrestlemania 25 (I just suddenly got back into wrestling for some reason)
Saturday was just a dull blur... Found out that DragonAge doesnt come out on the PS3 for another 2 weeks, so my plans for when I get back home have already gone under. Plus, it didnt seem to matter what store I went to, none of them had the items I was looking for as presents.
Had to skip on woktastic, because whatever I had for lunch didnt sit so well, forcing me to ignore dinner entirely. But on the way back, I figured I'd check my local Asda for my presents, as I had seen them there a few weeks before (Ironicly before I considered them as presents) only to find they were gone again...
I also got pissed off to no end in there, but that's going to be saved for tomorrow in my latest rant against 'normality'
So I get home, earlier then I had hoped, and just spent the day watching bones. My eye twitching as I could hear my brother playing Dragonage on the 360. :-(
Sunday wasnt too bad, though I ended up going out again to the local sainsburys, where I was able to pick up one of my presents. Took me ages to get round to watching the wrestling though, after half-forgetting the bed needed to be changed, and that my room needed a good tidy (Along with my manga needing yet another re-arrange)
So by the time I started watching it, it was already like 4pm and I still needed to get in the shower...
This just seemed to be one of those weekends when nothing goes how you want.
- School thief strikes again
-
- mattdarkzero
- November 5th, 9:34
Over the past few years that I have worked at my local areas high-school, there have been a number of times that something has been stolen from school grounds. From small things such as a few i-pods (Bought, but never used) and cameras, going up to the occasional laptops and even projectors (Which has always been a mystery, as the only projectors that were stolen, were ones in security cages...)
Months and months ago, before the summer holidays, the school was presented with an xbox360, straight from microsoft for a course that the students had taken part in. Due to the lack of spare time at hand, the 360 went into storage, and was set to be used at some point in the new year as part of an activity club for the kids (In a pay-to-play scheme or something)
Closer to the summer holidays, a member of staff brought up a cable to us, that had been found in the car-park. I recognised it right away, as the video-cable for the 360, so immediatly checked on the schools console, only to find everything were there.
Cut to yesterday. Our head of ICT has just came in, asking if we've moved or used the 360 recently. After checking high and low with everyone, it turns out the thing has been stolen...
Big problem though... It was in a cupboard that is usually locked all the time, in a room that is generally in use all the time. So someone has been able to sneak in and sneak it out. Whoever it is didnt seem to have a problem getting it out of school though, as one of the doors in and out of the school, along with the back entrance of the school itself doesnt have any security cameras watching it, so it could have been taken without anyone noticing it.
Worst still, the 360 was never used, so there will be no way to track it if whoever took it goes online.
Shame to think someone would stoop to stealing from a school... Then again, with how often we get mice nicked from here, it almost doesnt surprise me
- Uncharted 2 - A short, but brilliant experience
-
- mattdarkzero
- November 4th, 12:31
I remember my younger days, back in the PS1 generation, been given a copy of tomb raider 2 to play from my cousin.
Even back then that game wasnt all that good in my eyes. It was difficult to play, controls felt wonky and the only time I seemed to enjoy myself was the training grounds, mainly because you could lock laras butler in the fridge. :D (Fun Times)
I never really paid much attention to the Tomb Raider series, aside from the odd rental here or there (Not that it ever really changed my thoughts on the series.
Yet its strange that when I first got my hands on a copy of Uncharted, that I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Good characters, a deep-ish story and strong controls. Sure, it had some issues, such as the way enemies would almost dance out of your line of fire whenever you shot them, or the dodgy grenade controls, even the final boss felt like a cheap tacked-on climax.
So with the sequal fast approaching (I picked the original up something like 2 months before the sequals release) I was eager to continue Nathan Drakes story. And after the better part of a weekend, I was already through the game. But as quick as it had been to get through, there was rarely a moment that I didnt enjoy.
I wont go into a full talk about my experience like I did with Brutal Legend, so I'll just give a quick round-up of my favourite moments.- The opening section, having to haul your own shot and bloody body out of a train as it hangs off a cliff.
- Having a shoot-out on a moving train, trying to aim your shots as the train itself turns along the track.
- Paitiently, yet tensly waiting for the right moment to take out a guard via stealth, knowing that an error on my part can blow my cover.
- Running and gunning for your life to esace a building as it collapses from the ground up.
- Getting to admire the amazing scenery in some of the more wide-open parts of the game.
- The movie-like quality of the story, voice-talent and character.
But if you want a good game thats just full of great moments, this is definately one to go for.
Just need to try the multiplayer now.

K, so I decided to check on how the waiting list is going for Minamicon right now.
At the moment, I am number 78 in the waiting lists. And there are 77 people yet to pay on the members list...
Yeah, Im not liking my chances here... Damnit! I wanna go to Minami at least once!
Edit: 76 yet to pay...
- Brutal Legend... Brutal Pain...
-
- mattdarkzero
- November 2nd, 12:57
bitchy
Figured I'd keep myself busy during my breaks by writing my thoughts down on some of the games ive been playing lately, save me from constantly checking my e-mails.
So I finally got down to playing Brutal Legend this weekend, I'd really been looking forward to it after seeing all the videos and playing the demo. Its a shame then, that everything they've shown off of the game and what you see in the demo, doesnt prepare you for the tedious bother that the game becomes.
Its starts off as a good game, the music, the simple-yet-effective fighting system, a pretty sound script with some nice audio comedy from Jack Black. Starting off in the temple of Ormagodan (The God of Metal) before building up your car and driving the hell out of there before getting to what I would describe as your first boss-battle in the game, before finishing the opening off with you speeding down a a bridge as it collapses all around you.
My thoughts at this time - "Fucking Awesome!"
Its after this that the game really opens up, adding in the sandbox mechanic (The so called 'Open-World' effect, but I'll get to that another time) to allow you to explore this land of rock, an island covered in monuments such as a huge statue of a guitar, or a field of statues all giving the 'rock' gesture to the sky.
Of course at this time, theres not alot to do, I could either go to the marker on the screen to continue to story, or I can just explore the island to find its extras, such as hidden plynths to unlock new songs or bound statues to increase your health and power.
One benefit though, is that as soon as you get to this point, you can already go meet the 'Guardian of Metal'. And who else to play him, but Ozzy Osbourne, who seems to fit the part perfectly, as the old rambling rocker who lives for the old days, when the world was full of music.
Things arent so bad for the next few missions. You gain some allies (Such as the Headbangers, who act like your standard troops) and learn about how you can give them commands, simple things like Defend, Follow or, my fave, Attack anything in that general direction.
The next mission improves on this slightly, giving you access to team attacks, when in the case of headbangers, they will form a mosh-pit around you, dealing damage to anyone who gets too close.
My thoughts at this time - "Nice, its got a bit of a overlord feel here"
Its not too long after this that you have assembled a whole party of rockers, which is when things really start to change. With a small army realy to fight, your thrown into a tutori-battle, where the game expects you to take on a small army with just a few nods on how to control and order your own. While this battle isnt difficult, it certainly throws you off, as you are suddenly forced to rely on your troops, rather then just killing everything yourself, and unfortunately, it hits the same tedium from then on.
Apart from a few missions to show off new troops and their abilities, most of the main story forces you to do these battles, where it just throws groups of enemies at you and stops you from going solo.
For instance, to create troops, you need fans. Fans come from geysers, which you build merchandise booths around to wing them over. But alot of the time, these geysers will be covered by a huge leech which you have to attack to remove it. But by attack it, I mean have your troops attack it, because if you try attack it, it immediatly throws you back.
On top of this, a few battles in, you come across a new opposing army, but the troops they have can take a hell of a beating before you kill them, forcing you to constantly summon more and more troops of your own, who quickly get decimated.
My thoughts at this time - "What the hell happened to the game I was enjoying?"
This was when I stopped, the battles were becoming far from engaging or fun, plus I knew that there was the main army in the game still to come, which probably meant even stronger enemies...
The game was just starting to become tedious, even the side missions were just the same thing over and over. 'Ambush' the enemy, 'Defend' from the enemy, Kill so many things.
If this game had stuck to something more like an action game, maybe it would have worked, but it quickly turned into a poorly disguised, unbalanced RTS, and an RTS that isnt all that good.
Plus, like its technical predocessor Psychonaughts, it suffers from the 'Tim Shafer' difficulty curve, where things start easy, but will suddenly spike up to difficult.
Unfortunatly, unless some huge game comes out and turns out to be absoloutely dire, Brutal Legend seems to have my spot for most dissapointing game of 09...
Oh well, at least I have Uncharted 2 (Will get onto that tomorrow)

Right, just got back from birmingham, where I went to see fightstar live.
All I can say is that they were fucking awesome! Despite Charlies slight throat-infection, they were on top-form, and I loved every moment of it.
Plus I got to see a few interesting new bands, and should say if your a fan of fightstar, keep your ears open for a band called prego.
- Working, sort of... And Expo!

- October 29th, 8:51
Right, computer seems to be ok for the moment, its slow, but I can at least keep ontop of e-mails and such still.
It'll be a few weeks till the new machine, but I'll just have to deal with it for now.
Right, expo report, at last!
Well, overall, it was a pretty good weekend, knackering as always, but overall was quite fun. Here a quick round-up;
+ Getting to get into the show for free (Yay for the press pass!)
+ Getting to try out some new games (Borderlands felt fairly standard, yet very empty. Lego Rock Band did infact rock!)
+ Playing the Bayonetta demo. (I had no idea what I was doing the first time, but I just knew I was killing everything and it looked amazing!)
+ Hanging out with friends on the friday and saturday nights
- Not being able to speak to everyone
- Getting my foot run-over by some twonk on an electric wheel-chair (Yes, the walkways are narrow, but it doesnt mean you have to rush right past me without at least asking me to move aside)
- A game a tried to buy from Koei-Tecmo being just an empty case
+ The guys on the Koei-Tecmo stand giving me free goodies as an apology :D
This expo's haul of Booty was rather small too, which was surprising, as I usually spend way too much!
I updated a few manga series (Naruto, Negima, Inuyaha and Black Lagoon) along with picking up a couple of new series (A pair of Harem-Series no less) Picked up a pair of DVDs (Shadow Skill box set and Ouran Host Club part 1) Also got the FFX-2 sound track (Just FFX soundtrack itself to get now!)
Probably the first time I've come back from london with everything in just 1 bag/case.
On a personal note, my courage decided to drop again during the expo. I said in a previous post about asking someone out. Well she replied and said she if she could find some time during the expo, she'd have been happy to grab a drink or something to chat over.
I'd seen her around the show a few times, but I never could go up to her and just ask if she was free at all.
Hopefully I can at least ask her for a dance at the ball.

(Having to borrow little brothers laptop forthis)
Ugh, I planned to have nice quiet day to myself after getting back home after the expo weekend...Went to trade in the old PS3, as selling it on ebay was going to hell (Seems no-one is interested in playing PS2 games on their PS3 then...) only when I got to the store, it turned out that a cable I never used for the console (And thus never took out of the box) was missing, so they wouldnt take it, meaning I had to return home to take the cable from the new ps3 box and stuff that in there. The extra journeys wracking up almost 2 hours of time that I could have spent doing things I wanted to.
Got home and tried to relax for a while, play on the PS3, when both parents pop their heads round the door. This in itself is unusual, as they rarely follow one-another about the house, so I thought I'd done something wrong.
Turns out that the computer s broken, and they want my help, wierd considering they never ask me for compter help, despite being a computer technician, which I can only fathom means they only like to ask me on my days off, and would rather risk damaging the computer further then asking me on a day ive been working.
Checked the computer and it needs a new hard-drive, though in all honesty, we need a new computer, considering its a dell and that its been on its last legs for the bulk of this year.
Well, thats going to take up free time on wednesday to try and recover the data off it...
Speak to you all thursday with an update.

Meh, everythings pretty bleh right now, not much going on... Friday afternoon can only come with much merryment.
Right so expo first. Due to a half-day at work, I wont be in london till sometime around 5pm (Whoo) and given train ride times, it'll probably be close to 7 when I arrive at the excel center, at which point i'll be meeting up with my room-matezanarkandangel and drowned_panda along with some other friends for some drinks, so it seems my friday is pretty much covered.
Nothing planned for saturday night right now, as I know some friends are going to the anime all-nighter, so things are pretty quiet on that side of things. The day itself seems pretty quiet too, apart from catching up with a few folks, the only thing I have planned is to actually go see the masquerade this year.
I still dont know if im going to cosplay yet or not... I have my Xellos costume still, which I'd like to wear again, its just a matter of if I can be bothered to pack it or not.
Eitherway, I hope to see folks soon, and I hope we get a chance to chat for a bit.
-
In other news, my PS3 slim arrived yesterday. I sold off my 60GB model and used the money to upgrade to the new version. It looks nice and its so quiet! (I swear, the old one was trying to launch itself into space sometimes)
Only its already hit a slight snag... First one isnt a problem, but I have to install all the game data again (Whoo... Again) the other is a bit more annoying. Ive re-connected to my online account, but it wont sync up my trophy data. It gets so far, and loads up so much data, but it throws an error and leaves a bunch of games out (Like Little Big Planet, among others)
Oh well, its not going to get in the way of my game time, I just hope its not a permanent issue.
-
Also yesterday, I dont know what caused it, but my back just suddenly decided to have a spasm attack... I was ok, but it was acheing when I would go to stand up or sit down. I got better in the afternoon, and after a good nights rest (For once) everything feels fine again.
I just cant figure out what caused it, I hadnt moved anything about the school, and it just suddenly came on when I was just walking along the halls.
-
Anyway, thats about all for now, speak to you later.
- Right, im gonna do it.

Toiled over with this for the last few days now, as I know theres a good oppertunity for it.

To hell with worry! For once, Im going to take the risk!

Stupid assholes, how is this my fault when i wasnt even in when it was supposed to happen.
How thick do you have to be to not spot your own laptop in a room you were in just 3 days ago? Even better, dont own up to the fact you didnt actually look around and pretend someone must have moved it or that I hid it from you gecause I must have somehow came to spite you in the weekend I was away, all because I'm the one who found it within seconds of entering the room, in such an obvious spot, yet it must be a blind spot to anyone else who went and looked in there. Yeah, because nobody leaves things ontop of a fucking table...
Also, if your going to book a projector, dont book it a lesson before you need it, then moan because someone who did book it ahead of time is using it, claiming you had booked it ages ago. I can see what time you sent to booking order, so dont fucking lie to me on that! How about giving a proper lesson for once without having to rely solely on your laptop and a powerpoint presentation that you make the kids copy, or is it too much work to give these kids a proper education?
I just want a break from all these idiotic, out-for-themselves, dont-give-a-rats-ass, good-for-nothing, bastards...
I think I need a hug...

- October 5th, 18:47
Over this year, Ive made a number of new friends, a number of them here on live-journal, so I feel like I should ask if people want to do a get-together at the end of the year for a weekend in birmingham.
While this is partially because I want to have a bit of a get-together to celebrate my coming birthday, as Ive never really done anything special to celebrate (Always been with family and stayed home) Plus I always wanted to get people to come along to see the German Market that shows up every year from mid-november till Christmas Eve, as I think its something everyone needs to go to at least once.
Im not going to put down anything concrete just yet, as I know alot of people (Including myself) have already put a bit of money aside for the ball, along with having to do the christmas shopping.
But if anyone s interested, let me know, so I can look at what hotels to reccomend and sort out a good date for it.
- Console Question

- October 5th, 8:50
thoughtful
Um, I was going to rant about Terminator Salvation and how the plot seems to be so messed up that it seems to ignore its own history (History as in both the past, and the past future that we used to saw glimpses of in the first 2 Terminator films) but trying to write it all down got way too confusing, even for me, so I decided to scrap that post...
So instead I'll move onto a question that I want to ask.
For a few years now, I have owned both a PS3 and a 360. Now this has been fine for some time, allowing me to enjoy exclusive titles on both Microsofts (Fable, Blue Dragon) and Sonys (Uncharted, Disgaea) consoles.
The problem right now though, is that with 2 consoles, there is always the debate on which one to pick up a multi-platform game on, whether is be because someone with console A also has said game, or I know more people on console B so there is a chance some of them may also get this game.
But because of costs and such, I am considering wether to make a permanent switch to a single console. And its looking like the PS3 tbh, as Im looking at trading my current on in for a slimline version.
I mean, lets be honest. I dont play online that much, and when I do, its pretty rare now thats its with people I know, so paying the £40 a month for the 360 live access seems pretty pointless.
The only game I play online on the 360 as it is right now is Rockband 2, and thats only with a handful of friends who own it.
Aside from a few games, most of the ones I own are available on the PS3, and most of the exclusive titles have already been completed (Or are at a point where I just dont play them anymore)
Does anyone think theres any reason to keep the 360 when I have the PS3 too? At least if I had a Wii and one of the other consoles, I could understand a need to keep both, but this is one I'm just not sure about...
Help?
- Super Street Fighter IV

- October 5th, 8:26
bored
Got a few posts comin today, so im just gonna start typing now.
So Capcom have 'unexpectedly' announced an update to Street Fighter IV in the form of a new physical copy of the game, as opposed to releasing the new content as DLC. As expected, many 'fans' and gamers are annoyed at capcom for this for a few reasons;- It means they have to buy the new version of the game, making their current copy worth less, even though the games price has dropped more rapidly then any other Ive seen.
- If they keep their current copy, they wont be able to play against the people who are move to the new version
- They feel like Capcom is exploiting the gullible gamers by making them buy the same game again just with some minor additions.
Look back at how many times Capcom have re-released each street-fighter game, especially Street Fighter 2. As far as im concerned, this is hardly something we shouldnt have been able to see since the game was originally announced. They should at least be glad that Capcom have said that SSF4 wont be a full-priced game.
What I dont get are the people who have shunned capcom, saying they are exploiting the gullible with SSF4. Have these guys ever looked over at, I dont know, EA sports? Year after year, they release the same <insert sport here> game, with a differant player on the front, an updated roster and one new gameplay mechanic, only updating the graphics as they move to the next console generation...
If your going to moan at somebody for re-releasing a title over and over, look at EA, at least with SSF4, they are at least adding new, differrant characters into the fray, not just the exact same character with a pallette swap.
Right, more mindless ranting next post!

Breakfast just seemed to skip by as if my body didnt realise I'd even eaten, which explains why I feel like Im starving right now...

My dad, ive known him for almost 23 years now, since I was born infact, yet it amazes me that Ive never known some things about him.
More specifically, the fact that he is partially colourblind. Its amazing that ive never found this out before, and its only through chance that I know now.
I bought him a flash game for the PC (Zumo's Revenge, I figured he'd like it as he plays the original religously) and when my mom was on it earlier, I saw saying its odd that 2 of the colours are nearly identicle, and she told that dad may have changed some of the coolurs so he can see them better due to being colourblind
Im just there like 'Oh righang on a minute!'
So she told me that he gets greens and browns mixed up, and she only found out after they had moved in together and sent him out to get some brown carpeting. He came home with a green carpet and thats what forced him to tell her.
Anyone had sudden revalations like this?
Also, as I have signed up for the big star-wars group next october, Ive been searching for an fx lightsaber on ebay. I figured I'd go for the darth maul lightsaber, as no-one seems to be selling the count dooku saber. Anyway, as Im looking, I see people selling 2 together, understandable, considering you can join them together for his double-edged lightsaber.
But theres one guy selling 4 together! Who's going to make use of 4 identicle lightsabers? And how unwieldly would it be to have try and wield 2 double-edge lightsabers?
