There once was a girl...

Guess whose got Fatal Frame 4 on her wii?

I just... can't, I'm sorry.  Everyone keeps saying that its awesome and finally one of the managers said that yeah, the fighting is, if you can get past the first couple of chapters.  I tried, and I can't.  The graveyard scene in the beginning... I can't do it.  I tried though, honestly I did, but as soon as her clothing got cut across her breasts and ass in super slow motion with her moaning, then she tossed off everything and the spotlight shown on her from above... I had to stop.  And I do have a high tolerance for ridiculous, but... yeah.

Oddly enough, I posted about this on facebook and one of my friends had a heart attack, telling me to give it another chance because he's already beat it on normal and kept going on about how cool it is.  I said no, I'll put the money towards Dante's Inferno, and he was like, "It's just a reskinned God of War."  Um... isn't Bayonetta a reskinned DMC?  But he was like... heartbroken that I didn't like the game  O.o  Sigh, oh well, I'll just play Darksiders, which amuses me because Gaara is the main character, who is War, so he is constantly pissed off, lol. 

The good:  Charles called to say that he would be on leave for ANOTHER YEAR!  WOOT!!!!!  *__* 
The bad:  He came by to drop off the papers and hugged me, gag!
The good:  HE'S GONE FOR ANOTHER FUCKING YEAR!!!!!

*shares sparkling grape juice with everyone!*

This is what happens when I find a woodburner at Michaels.


( I am the terror that flaps in the night )

Kinda. 

So I got to review the Bayonetta demo for Mania.com, and some guy responded saying that I sounded jealous because I said she had unrealistic proportions.  

Um... whut? 

First of all before I begin my rant, here is what she looks like: 



Second of all, let me preface this by saying that she spends most of the game half naked, because her hair is her weapon AND her clothing, so obviously, in the middle of combat everything gets removed.  

So, what's wrong with me thinking that that's a bit... ridiculous? 

I can't help but think that because I'm a girl, it's assumed that I'm jealous.  Um... no.  As I said in my article, I know that a lot of game heroines are super hot or super sexy, and while that can be irritating if it goes over the top (like this one does) a lot of them are just really really pretty.  Like Lightning in FFXIII, or the lead in Heavenly Sword, things like that.  But Bayonetta?  Um... she is obviously supposed to be sexy, but they're forcing it.  When she walks she swings her hips, not even kidding, her normal walk is this hip swing.  She's always posing and blowing kisses and her body is just... weirdly proportioned. 

As for the nudity thing, if ANY character I was playing with had the ability to turn naked at the push of a button, I would be rolling my eyes, guy or girl, no matter how pretty they were.  Because just... I mean... every time she ends a huge battle she does her "climax" (yes its called climax) and suddenly BAM!  No clothing, and a giant demon comes out of her hair and eats things.  Of course the hair covers what you'd think it would cover, but still.  And everyone knows I'm attracted to girls anyhow, so I can appreciate the pretty naked back, but not every five minutes! 

Though if I were a guy complaining, no one would call me jealous and tell me that I just have a problem with Bayonetta because she's not a size 15.  Uh... yeah... that's why I have a problem, she's not a thicker girl, that must be it.  

-_- 

Have a good day full of presents and cookies and good times!

Avatar turned out to be really awesome and actually worth the hype it's getting.  Ended up getting invited by Arwen and her crew (lol) unexpectedly, then went after work to the IMAX to see it in 3D.

Now, I went in expecting nothing, because I'm not one to assume that a movie is awesome because everyone says it is.  That and well, they advertise the game at work so I was kinda tired of hearing about it.  And the fact that they tell you right off the bat that he becomes one of them made me kinda go, eh, that's probably the giant surprise.  But there's more to it than that.  



( Spoilers like whoa! )

Everyone go and see it. Right now. Because...

( Spoilers like whoa )

And here are my thoughts on the whole issue about a black Disney princess.

( More spoilers! )

All and all, wonderful WONDERFUL movie. And hey, they preview Toy Story 3!

This guy came in today wanting to trade and renew his card and all and get his kid a DS. I looked at his ID and it was expired. We can't take expired IDs anymore, so I asked for the papers. He said he didn't have them, because he hasn't gotten around to renewing it. I told him that we couldn't do the trade.

So he's all, "What? That's BS," and I explain that unfortunately, trade law for us has gotten really strict (apparently its been this strict at pawn shops for the longest time) and its not us, its the law. He accuses us of being petty, and is like, "Can't you just do this for me?" I'm like, no. And he's like, "There's no cops around, how would they know?" And Adam (other manager on duty) explains that when we put in his info, it flags us and we get in trouble. So then he tells us to use our IDs. Um... no.

So he proceeds to keep calling us petty and ridiculous, turns to look at his kid, and goes, "No DS for you today," just as she's grabbing a game she wants for it. He's like, "They won't let us sell our games, so you can't get a DS." So she's like... 4, and she starts crying. And he's like, "I know, it sucks, I'm upset too but they just won't let us sell our games." Um... this guilt trip isn't working, we still can't do the trade, nowhere will do a trade with an expired ID, and now you're making your kid cry because you're an asshole.

And that is how my day ended. Not even kidding.

:)

CALL OF DUTY!  Is pretty much my entire life now until the game releases, work has been ridiculous with it.  Lots of price changes and marketing and midnight launch approaching and training newbies and just... aaaaaah, work!!!  And customers have not been at all nice, we've had some really mean ones, including ones who think we need to give them gas money to get to the store because they decided that oops, they didn't want to trade in that game after all because they can't understand why it had to be resurfaced when there were so many scratches to the disc that it looked like a jilted lover took a key to it -_- 

In other news, beat Ratchet and Clank (yay!) and played the new Tekken with fight stick.  I love the fight stick, the game however... its not that I don't like it, I just miss the standard story mode where you pick a person and go.  Now there's this single player campaign thing...

Meanwhile, Assassin's Creed 2 is fast approaching with New Super Mario Bros, Little Big Planet on the PSP, and the God of War collection.  Oh!  Got to play the God of War 3 demo and oh.  my.  GOD!  *___*  It's so beautifully gruesome!  If I could spend a whole article geeking out about it, I would, because dear god!    Speaking of articles, should have another one ready soon, woot!   Along with more reviews.  Just finished reading the Gravitation vol 1 + 2 collection and um... yeah... *watches brain leak out of ears* 

And now time for some relaxation before opening tomorrow.  Mmmm, had yummy food with a friend tonight, and now my tummy is full and I is ready to collapse in bed.  It's nice to have a Persona 4 fan to obsessively chat with in real life  :)  combine that with hot chocolate and breakfast food and its the perfect after work event!

Random:  we want to do a Thanksgiving thing here and I'm trying to get the Wednesday before Thanksgiving off.  I guess it would kinda substitute the lack of lemon party this year, we could still watch yaoi and play video games and stuff perhaps?  I'm trying for Wednesday because I figure everyone had family ongoings on Thursday, or if its Thursday people can just come and go as they please.  Thoughts?

Long day is long.

Asshole customer is asshole.

But awesome coworker who went to get me chicken nuggets and sprite because of said customer is awesome.

And awesome guys at midnight launch were awesome.

And awesome Motrin I will take to kill cramps will be awesome too.

And awesome two days off of working coming up will be awesome and full of awesome Magna Carta or Uncharted.

Then awesome paycheck on Friday will help pay for awesome Ratchet and Clank and awesome Tekken and awesome, ridiculously hard to find Demon Souls deluxe edition I reserved.

Awesome.

8 years today :)  

Have spent the last three days NOT being stressed about work, playing lots of Ratchet and Clank on PS3, watching the old ninja turtles movies on BluRay since some of the gifts to ourselves was Snow White, the EPIC Ninja Turtle's box, and Monster (all on BluRay) along with some shelves and lots of yummy food. 

btw, the second ninja turtle's movie is still awesome, and it looks really good on BluRay too! 

Anyhow, Happy Anniversary, babe!

The comments amuse me (wow articles get quite a few comments).  Someone was like, "I think this was geared towards girls, this would've been great if it were an annoying girls article," when the article starts with, "Everyone knows the annoying girls already, so its time for the boys."  lol, and someone thinks I have a secret crush on Cloud because they don't understand why he's on the list  O.o  Look, Cloud IS hot O.K., I'll always admit when a boy is pretty, doesn't stop me from hating that he angsts too much.

And last, but not least, someone thinks I need to watch more anime because I put boys like Light and Vegeta on the list.  lol, I've been watching this stuff since the 90s :)  And there's comments in the forums too, that makes me happy to get so many responses, and the pictures they used look really cool too!
