 <br />
1-who was the only 24-bit console in the market?<br />
 <br />
2-what game console went from 800 or 900 hundred dollars to 150 in 6 months time?<br />
 <br />
3-what was nintendo's only hideous console that flop and the creator/designer that took his own life due to it's failure?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi:<br />
<br />
This is my first blog, I was surfing and thinking why Sony, in the US, is behind their competitor. I begin to read reviews, blogs, previews, etc, and I notice how those people always rate the PS3 games lower that their counterpart on the other consoles. Especially you are going to notice how the &quot;unbiased press&quot; is claiming that the Xbox360 rules, their scores show for the PS3 are low and their reviews are biased to the Xbox360. But is you see the PS3 lineup you will notice that offer the more variety, you see Uncharted, Warhawk, Lair, R&amp;C, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, MGS4, Resistant, etc. For me that's the reason to have a PS3.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Goes to....Soul Calibur 4! I have to admit, it took a little getting used to. I love Soul Calibur 3 (Am I the only one who enjoyed the Tales of Swords, or whatever that strategy/fight thing was?) I have to admit I miss the longer cut scenes with the different outcomes based on button combos at the right time.<br />
Besides all that, I'm really getting into the character creation and online play. I just want to unlock all the equipment and level up some of my favorite character styles.. (taki, sophitia, tira, maxi, cervantes, ivy.)<br />
I love all my PS3 games, but they all are being neglected for the time being because of the beauty and increasing addiction to SCIV!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Many people at various internet forums have associated me with JRPGs for a long time.  I was always a big defender of the genre and one who bought many JRPGs.  JRPGs have been my favorite game genre for a while, but I’m noticing my motivation to play them slipping.  I’ll explain throughout the blog entry how I got into them, my high points, and my low points.<br />
<br />
  Back when I was in 3rd or 4th grade, can’t remember exactly, two of my best friends bought/rented FFIV (FFII on SNES).  I mostly watched them play, but I eventually played it myself.  I enjoyed it, but didn’t really beat it.  A few years later, I borrowed it and finished.  I really enjoyed it and got me into thinking about RPGs.  I played Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, etc. and loved them all.  I started buying/renting RPGs on PS1 in 1997 like Beyond the Beyond, Vandal Hearts, and Suikoden.  I enjoyed them, but RPGs were not my favorite genre.  Once FFVII came around, the first RPG I bought close to release, and I ended up really liking it and completely changed my view on RPGs.  It went from being my 2nd-3rd  I bought Wild Arms later that year and really liked it.  After FFVII, I started taking bigger notice of JRPGs buying a brand new Super Nintendo (I sold my original SNES) with a bunch of RPGs (like Lufia I &amp; II, Chrono Trigger, FFIV, FFVI, etc.), re-bought Saturn (for Shining Force III, Albert Odyssey, Shining Wisdom, Shining The Holy Ark, etc.), and even bought a Sega Nomad (to play Phantasy Star games and Shining Force games).  I despised the N64 at the time because it had no JRPGs (well, except for Ogre Battle 64) and sold it (I use to have a problem selling consoles constantly). favorite genre to my very favorite.<br />
<br />
  So anyway, around my freshman and sophomore years of high school, I was buying many (not all) of the RPGs that came out on PS1 and playing them.  Unfortunately, I did not finish many of them.  I did invest a lot of time in many, but didn’t start beating them.  Once Final Fantast Anthology came out, I played it quite a bit and beat FFV.  Once I did, I finally wanted to finish up FFVI, so I did.  I played through FFVII a 2nd time (without cheating a little and tried to do everything, having over 63 hours).  I finally started playing FFVIII.  Advanced further along or beat other games until FFIX came out, which I played a lot and beat a month after release.  I got Grandia II and Skies of Arcadia for Christmas that year also and put 10 hours in each. <br />
<br />
  The 2nd half of my junior year in high school, I had a phase where I stopped caring about many RPGs I had.  My play time for them completely stopped, and I missed out on many RPGs that came out in 2001/early 2002.  I was kind of in a phase where I wanted to play arcade oriented games (stuff you saw a lot of on Dreamcast) or Mega Man games.  So I spent a lot of that time buying more arcade oriented games (like vertical/side scrolling shooters, some more fighters, etc.) for Dreamcast, Saturn, PS1, Genesis, etc.  Due to losing interests, I actually sold off a bunch of RPGs like Vagrant Story and so on, which I barely touched.<br />
  <br />
The 2nd half of my senior year in high school (2002), I got in the mood to finally finish Grandia II and Skies of Arcadia, so I spent one week playing Grandia II and beat it, then the next week playing Skies of Arcadia and beating it.  I decided to go through many PS1 RPGs I left unfinished, such as Grandia, and Xenogears.  I’ll admit I skipped out on senior prom, and was sitting there playing Xenogears instead and beat it.  I bought a PS2 since the price dropped, and bought FFX.  Let’s just say I got really hooked on the game and played for around 18 hours straight, but stopped (most because of college).  I re-bought Lunar and bought Lunar 2, ended up beating both of them during my summer.  I picked up a bunch of other PS1 RPGs that I missed out on.   <br />
    <br />
I shortened my RPG play time a little due to college (this was when I went to a local college), but since I was part time the next semester, I finally beat FFX, and bought a few new PS2 RPGs (in 2003, which came out in 2002).  Although I played various games, I just really got into RPGs again and was playing them a lot.  Just when summer started, I joined a new RPG website my friend created (known as RPG Elite).  I ended up enjoying RPGs even more and become a staff on the site.  I wrote RPG reviews, previews, and news.  During that summer, I picked up numerous classic RPGs.  I spent my summer playing several RPGs, beating them, and writing reviews on them (I played a few I didn’t review like Xenosaga).  <br />
<br />
I went away to college, but still played RPGs mostly.  I’ll admit I spent more time in my dorm room playing RPGs than trying to meet people.  I got back into playing RPGs more when summer started beating FFX-2, KH2, etc.  Bought ToS, La Pucelle, etc. which I invested good time in.  Despite my Sophomore year being busy, I spent whatever time I had open playing Star Ocean: Till The End of Time (put over 50 hours into it during my semester) and SMT: Nocturne.  The next semester I continued buying RPGs (not as many since I was kind of broke, but still bought Xenosaga Episode II, DDS, and others) and playing them (beat Xenosaga Episode II and put good time in the rest).  Once summer started, I beat ToS, made it to the end of DDS, and played a lot of Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, and so on.  There’s no denying some RPGs got ignored (due to buying a little more than I could play), but still 80% of my gaming that wasn’t DDR was playing RPGs on PS2 or GBA. <br />
 <br />
  My Junior year away from college, I finally get a job that gives me money to buy pretty much every RPG that came out in late 2005 and 2006, and early 2007.  College was also getting beyond busy where I had tons of projects; work was WAY harder than before, along with a part time job doing work for a Professor.  My RPG play time was very limited, so I mostly played when I had breaks in the semester (like I played DQVIII and beat Radiata Stories during my Winter Break).  I even skipped out on social gatherings JUST so I could spend more time playing RPGs since I didn’t have enough time to play them.  2006 was just beyond terrible, with pretty much all the RPGs series I love getting new installments and me having the money to buy them (not enough time).  I preordered TONS of RPGs at my local EB near my college.  I barely played them during my <br />
<br />
2nd part of my junior semester due to stuff (I did play Grandia III a lot during Spring Break).  I was also busy with summer classes, but the break I had, I played some Suikoden V, beat Kingdom Hearts II, and made it to a boss I can’t beat in 22 hours of Grandia III.  I was back to college, bought more RPGs; however, I really only beat Xenosaga Episode III during the first part of my senior semester (well, I dropped Senior Design so I had extra time for a bit).  Outside of that, every other RPG I bought just got ignored.  I got to a point where I’d play an RPG once or twice, or I’d play for 10 hours and stop.  I usually enjoy the game, but end up moving to the next RPG I buy.  I still kept buying hoping having the entire summer off would re-bound my RPG playing. <br />
<br />
  Well, my RPG playing last summer was the lowest in years.  I did play Tales of the Abyss a bit (18 hours in) and played a little of the newer PSP RPGs as I got them, but never really got far.  I bought Persona 3 before school started last year (for $50), played twice for 2 hours total and never played again.  Before, I’d at least put over 10 hours into every RPG I bought, now I put around 2-3 on average.  I still kept buying RPGs like Blue Dragon (played for 4 hours, don’t care about playing it anymore), FFT on PSP, etc., but barely played them.  This year, I do feel Lost Odyssey is really great, but only played it for 6 hours and haven’t had any motivation to sink in a long gameplay session.  Bought Mana Khemia on PS2 and barely touched it.  Many RPGs I bought on PS2, GBA, DS, PSP, etc. I barely touch these days. <br />
 <br />
  If I thought last summer was bad, my RPG playing this summer is beyond pathetic, where the only RPG I really played was Eternal Sonata for 12 hours (and some Folklore and TotW PSP), and I don’t really care about playing it now, or ANY of the PS2, PSP, GBA, PS1, 360, etc. RPGs I have in my backlog right now.  I have sold off a bunch of RPGs last year and this year.  I don’t miss any except Baten Kaitos a little (mostly because I made it pretty far, but ran into battle issues and said forget it).<br />
<br />
  As of right now, I’ve held off buying certain RPGs on DS (like FFTA2), PS2, etc. because I haven’t been playing many RPGs (although I still buy some RPGs).  Many know how badly I wanted Crisis Core: FFVII (great from what I played), Wild Arms XF, etc., but I barely played any of them and paid FULL price for them.  I’m very tempted to buy Disgaea 3, Tales of Vespiria, Infinite Indiscovery, Star Ocean: First Departure, Valkyria Chronicles (I’ll buy it regardless due to being REALLY different), Ar Tonelico II, etc., but at the same time I wonder if I should have I haven’t been playing most of the RPGs I’ve bought this year and other years.  I could just see myself playing them for around 2-10 hours, stop playing them, and never beating them.  When the next RPGs come out, I’d buy them and do the same thing. <br />
<br />
  Right now I’m not sure what I should do.  As much as I love JRPGs, I just haven’t felt like playing what I have.  I wonder if I should just take a break not buying anymore, work on older RPGs when I feel like it?  Should just sell most all RPGs I haven’t beaten and just play other genres I’m enjoying right now?  Mostly, I wonder if I should just buy RPGs hoping I want to play them, or wait until I absolutely really want to play one.</div>

(didn't know extra maps were included in it)  but i hope they make another elder scroll game because i'm def. an RPG fan..although not many rpg's for the ps3 right now but some are coming!:snicker</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Ah, my blog, the one place I can just whine and complain without others complaining about it, unless they wanna be ***hats about it. <br />
<br />
From the title its easy to tell what my gripe is. <br />
<br />
RPGs. I love them, I am more of a JRPG fan but western stuff works too, regardless, my issue is..there are maybe two out for the PS3, Oblivion and Folklore...since its been out..and I have one already, while very close to obtaining the second, which I've already played. Now I like shooters. I dont mind a good GTA clone or too, but the thing is, when I got my PS3, I had RPGs in mind more than anything else. <br />
<br />
Like a good fanboy, I was able to take pride in the 360 not having RPGs and being a shooter console...but thats just not how it goes anymore. The tables have turned and now it has more RPGs..while we lose one of our biggest exclusives. (If you can't tell which, I feel sorry for you)<br />
<br />
Hooray, we get MAG, but thats simply a big scale third person shooter that, lets face it, is still wholly possible on the PC. Hooray, we Keep FFvs13, but lets face it,Square said FF13 was only possible on the PS3, so that is pretty much empty.<br />
<br />
Day by day, my hope for Sony's success dwindles..and now I worry that my PS3 was a wasted purchase (south africans paid MORE for the PS3 than the brits OR the americans..), I could have bought the fugly 360 and saved money...but, I dont like the Xbox, I dont like Microsoft and their policies..so what the crap do I do..? <br />
<br />
Give in and let microsoft win, or keep hoping for something that may not happen..? <br />
<br />
And please, dont be ***** and say 'go buy a 360' or 'stop being emo', that dosent help in any way, if you must comment, please, leave constructive options so I can properly weigh my choices at this stage. Thank you..</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Alright. Time to praise the worthy and thrash the unworthy. Lets get going.<u><br />
<br />
Microsoft<br />
<br />
</u>All in all a solid conference. Their approach remained the same from last year in that they are releasing a ton of games and are showing <b>gameplay</b> from them as opposed to trailers. Their lineup looks pretty solid for any diehard X360 fanboy to drool over, but being a PS3 owner, I can only look on with envy as the 360 gets at least some RPGs.<br />
<br />
Honestly I'm not even going to go into the FFXIII thing. It was a good business choice, I'll admit... but it was kind of a low blow to Sony and the fans of the games to give up their most prized RPG franchise to the 360 demographic, who are <i>mostly</i> more concerned with blowing things up in a first person view than actually planning out tactics in a semi turn-based game.<br />
<br />
All in all Microsoft had a good, solid conference, whether or not FFXIII isn't exclusive to the PS3 anymore.<br />
<br />
Yes I was pissed, but then decided to get on with my life and realize that life sucks and then you die, or play video games... whichever. -_-<br />
<br />
<u>Nintendo<br />
<br />
</u>Oh God where do I begin. I bought a Wii on release thinking that it was going to be the hottest damn thing on the planet for me and my Smash Bros and Zelda fanboy buds.<br />
<br />
Well, this press conference confirmed one thing. Its the hottest damn thing for the ages of 8 -12 and 60 - 80.<br />
<br />
Nintendo did absolutely <b>nothing </b>to cater to the hardcore Nintendo fan. Their game lineup consisted of a snowboarding game using the balance board, a new wiimote peripheral, Animal Crossing, new Guitar Hero for the DS (which I have the utmost hate for, being that I am a left-handed guy), Spore for the DS, a new Wii Sports, and that Wii Music garbage. The only thing remotely interesting was the Microphone attachment for Animal Crossing, but knowing Nintendo's online ****acular service, you might as well be sucking on the damn thing and get the same result from the mountians of lag that will proceed it. Nintendo is slowly fading away from those who adored their N64's minds, and I believe that the only thing that will save them is putting out a new, fresh console. In my mind, the Wii is not a next-gen console. It is a Gamecube that got a motion sensing device slapped into it and put w wireless card into it. nintendo needs to step it up, or risk losing their hradcore demographic all together, and being left with the casual gamer that will put down the console in boredom after a few months.<br />
<br />
<u>Sony<br />
<br />
</u>Honestly I was not as impressed with Sony as I was with Microsoft. Sony put out a good lineup of games, but most of them were prerendered, non-gameplay videos that I can't say, &quot;Hey! That looks to be a game I would want to buy!&quot; to.<br />
<br />
Regarding Home, I'm not holding my breath for a release date until 2009. &quot;Your patience will be rewarded.&quot; and giving no release date really gives room for them to push the date farther and farther back.<br />
<br />
Sadly enough, the Playstation 3 is being overrun by Sony's strange thought that all PS3 owners want in their games are a first-person perspective and lots of headshots. I really have no problem with the genre (I own 4 FPSs on the PS3 and love them), but when 50% of every game coming out is an FPS, it really gets quite tiresome. I want my JRPGs like the PS2! I've been playing Persona 3 alot more then Unreal Tournament III I'll tell you that. <br />
<br />
With the loss of FFXIII and the lack of good JRPGs on the PS3, there are going to be some outraged fanboys if all we see coming to the near future is Killzone 2 and Fallout 3 (both look excellent by the way).<br />
<br />
Oh yes... one more thing about a certian game. LittleBigPlanet looks so increadible. I cannot wait until its release.<u><br />
<br />
Conclusion<br />
<br />
</u>All in all a mediocre E3. Not many ground breaking releases besides FFXIII, which made PS3 owners cry in disgust and make X360 owners give a tiny whoop of joy before forgetting that they were playing Halo 3 and proceed to forget all about it except for the occasional time that they can hang the fact that one of the most well known franchises in the world is theirs over the top of every PS3 owner's head.<br />
<br />
tl;dr<br />
<br />
Microsoft has lots of money.<br />
Nintendo wanted to make people smile.<br />
Sony meh.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Played this yesterday... and completed it in a matter of hours. Loved the storyline, a lost fans' delight. The story follows a person named Elliot Maslow. Not seen in the show, he experiences the events from the show through season 2 of lost, while also having his own unique exploration of the island. The storytelling is broken up into 7 chapters, with each chapter having almost the same format, but with different situations. You see some of the things from the show, and some things unseen on it, making for some good content. <br />
<br />
Moving on to the graphics, the game looks beautiful in some parts. The beach part of the island looks amazing, but most of the island looks almost the same in regards of trees and foliage in the jungle parts. The facial detail is average, with most characters not looking like their real life counterpart at all. The character models are detailed, but again, dont look much real. The lip-synch looks horrible and the characters rarely display any emotion if at all. <br />
<br />
Gameplay starts off good with elements of an adventure game with exploration elements, and moves on to puzzles from time to time. The controls are really bad on the PC, and its clear that ubi rushed it out before optimizing gameplay for the PC. The best parts of the game involve the smoke-monster, I was trully scared the first time I encountered it, but rest of the game is drab in comparison. The puzzes are the only good gameplay element of the game, really enjoyed doing them.<br />
<br />
The soundtrack is great, michael giacchino provides the original lost music to the game. The sound effects are average, not that great. The 5.1 surround is well done and definitely adds to the atmosphere. The stand-ins for the main characters are really bad and dont sound anything like the show's characters. <br />
<br />
Rating: 7/10. No replay value, but the story is worth it for losties.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I am not made at Square, nor am I mad at Sony.  The first thing that has pissed me off is people saying: SONY DOESNT CARE ABOUT GAMES, SONY DOESNT CARE ABOUT US, SONY DOESNT CARE ABOUT EXCLSUIVES THEY ARE DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED!!!11!!!Q!!189047900894.  SHUT UP.  They Do care, They want the games.  THey know how huge Final Fantasy and MGS are.  Think about this:  When GTA, Assassin's Creed, Virtua Fighter, DMC, and Resident Evil ALL jumped ship to 360, Final Fantasy and MGS STAYED.  THEY STAYED PS3 ONLY.  Obviously we know MGS4 is still exclusive, AND IT WILL STAY EXCLUSIVE.  So CLEARLY, Sony was doing something right to keep it exclusive when others left. As for final fantasy, it makes sense from a buisness standpoint to release the game on 360.  It only is doing it in the UK and the US!  In the US there are more 360's than PS3's, so Square wants to tap into that market!  ( FF13 is STILL PS3 ONLY IN JAPAN! )  Besides, you can only get the FULL EXPIERENCE ON PS3, ANYWHERE.  Square said that Versus is STILL exclusive.  PS3 still has an exclsuive RPG from Square coming ( i think so at least ) and the other games are still comign to PS3, so clearly Square still respects Sony.  I think Square will annouce sometihng interesting for PS3 only at their Square Enix Party or w/e its called.   All over the forums are buzing about people whining about it saying how Sony is doomed, PS3 has no games, it has nothing coming.  Just shut up honestly.  Most of the people who are saying PS3 has nothing out or anything coming, are those who LIKE the games PS3 has.  Most of you are just over reacting.  Just becuase a JAPANESE RPG is moving to an AMERICAN CONSOLE ( The markets are completely different: 360 and XBox in general is geared more to action and Action RPGs, while PlayStation will take any RPG, but usually gets for JRPG. ) Just becuase FF is going to 360 doesn't mean all the games out now are useless. And it doesnt mean all the games COMING are useless.  Resistance 2, Killzone 2, MAG ( Which for those who dont know, is a FPS annouced that E3 which features an unheard of 256 Players online, NO TYPO, 256 onlne. ) Motorstorm 2, INFAMOUS, SOCOM Confrontation, ALL THE PSN GAMES COMING, Not to mention Home later this year ( Which alreayd does alot of the MS is adding, such as party game launching and watching movies with friends. )  more updates for PS3 to fix/add more ( cause you guys are NEVER happy! )  GOD OF WAR III and the fact you STILL GET to play Final Fantasy13.  In Fact, you guys are the ONLY ones to play the FULL, COMPLETE, experience!  And the 360 development Wont begin until the PS3 version is FINISHED!  So the 360 wont hold back the PS3 version's quality. <br />
<br />
And Just to throw it in as well, cause it also annoys me:  Trophies WILL be mandatory later for ALL PS3 games.  Sony ins't forcing it NOW because developers are working of titles.  But when games come out these holidays, you can bet there will be trophies.  LBP has them, SOCOM does, Resistance 2, Bioshock and more.  <br />
<br />
So the whole FF13 thing : not a big deal.  I know this is a wall of text and that most of you wont read this or care at all ( because most of you are FInal Fantasy fanboys, so you will completely disregard this. ) I just had to get this off my chest :p</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Oh my goodness people!  It can only go so far!<br />
<br />
STOP USING THE WORD 'EPIC' FOR EVERY SINGLE THING!  <br />
<br />
'Epic' is not meant to be used to describe things like console sales numbers, the release of any Pixeljunk game, or anything to do with the Nintendo Wii.  <br />
<br />
And 'Epic Fail' has nothing to do with <i>anything</i>!   It's a made up phrase - end of discussion!  <br />
<br />
'Epic' needs to be used to describe things like the scale of Lord of the Rings, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy.  <br />
<br />
If you use this word irresponsibly - please STOP!  You're only making yourself sound like a child.<br />
<br />
I hate you 'EPIC', and I hate you even more 'EPIC FAIL'!!!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><div align="center"><u><b>GTA IV REVIEW</b><br />
Before i begin, This Is My Review. Of course, some views i have for this game will be disagreed upon</u>.<br />
<br />
<div align="left">-I have a passion for gta games, so i will try not to be a gta fanboy:-P<br />
<br />
-I will not get into detail with this game, seeing everyone already knows (or mostly everyone) what this game is all about. :gta:<br />
<br />
<u><b>Story<br />
<br />
</b></u>An Immigrant Comes To Liberty City Hoping To Escape His Pastlife And Rise To The Top With His Cousin. However, He Soon Realizes That Its Not As Easy To Reach That Goal As Possible.<br />
<br />
This is the first story where The Main Character Isn't Really King Of The City After You Finish It. It isn't an amazing story, but its not average either. Niko Motive In This Story Is Finding A Special Someone And Ultimately...Revenge And He Realizes Afterwards, That Revenge Changes Nothing. This Story Shows More Character In Niko Than Any Other GTA Game to date has.<br />
<br />
Overall 8/10<br />
<br />
<u><b>Graphics</b></u><br />
<br />
gta has never been about good graphics...this has changed with IV. the vehicles have great detail, the city has great detail, even characters have great detail.<br />
<br />
Overall 10/10<br />
<br />
<u><b>Enviroment</b></u><br />
<br />
The City Is Huge..No Doubt About That. The Buildings, The Roads, Water, The Landmarks. It Does Have That New York Feeling To It...But With So Much City And So Little Things To Do In This City.:sleep:<br />
<br />
Overall 6/10<br />
<br />
<u><b>Gameplay</b></u><br />
<br />
Driving, Shooting, Bowling? wtf! where did that come from! The Gameplay Is Like The Rest Of The Series. Fun. Driving Fast In A Vast Number Of Vehicles, Doing Stunt Jumps, Killing..well anyone..a good selection of weapons..mini games...even a nice cover system (good change for gta)..there are quite a few things to do in the city while your completing the story. roman calling you to hang out can be quite annoying though..<br />
<br />
Overall 8/10<br />
<u><b><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The pure, filtered knowledge seeps through the news<br />
so much spin that you take it for fact, however loose<br />
now that you have acquired the knowledge, put it to use<br />
whats the matter now, scared of a little bruise?<br />
<br />
Democracy is a like a game demo, with time running out<br />
nowadays, on every street corner they have a scout<br />
so look before you leap, and censor your own self<br />
be wary before asking your own government for help<br />
<br />
All trapped in the virtual gameplay of spins and lies<br />
hurricanes taking place because of some butterflies<br />
exclusive footage, brand new look at black and white<br />
now tell me, do you remember who you are, men or mice?<br />
<br />
The sum of all fears, only seen in the movies and films<br />
as now the brick gets made, before it goes in the kiln<br />
so now the grindhouse has got &quot;raw materials&quot; for use<br />
only suck your life out till you're 100, then call it a truce<br />
<br />
They keep us busy in the machine, until we give up caring<br />
add a variable to stir things up, call it human pairing<br />
illusions of working for yourself, while working for the boss<br />
neck arching, bearing the weight of the proverbial albatross<br />
<br />
Now that your neck is wrecked, please have your say<br />
now new bricks have been made, how much do you weigh?<br />
these new bricks wont act as your foundation, rather sit on you<br />
you gave birth to these, but they wont hesitate to pawn you<br />
<br />
Situation dire, but you dont even have a say in your own death<br />
having your say is difficult when you're on your last breath<br />
seeing you have no choice, you accept your sealed fate<br />
should have said something before, but now its too late.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>So the highly anticipated firmware came out last week and trophies seem to be the thing thats got everyone excited. I myself am not sure if I like them or not. On one hand its got me playing SSHD again, on the other hand its made me incredibly frustrated, and has made it a game that I went from never playing but had a love for it to a game that I play constantly yet hate intensly.<br />
<br />
I think if the trophies were better ranked, I mean a gold trophy should be something really hard to accomplish, like Late boomer, whilst things like 10X multiplier are easy, and should be a silver at the most.<br />
<br />
I understand that they rushed trophies out with this game, well its the only game with trophies at launch and over a week later it's still the only game with trophy support.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I remember it like it was yesterday...the good old days if i may add..the days when gaming was all about the &quot;games&quot;. are those days gone? yeah its still about the games, but not like it use to be..i would turn on my snes and all i could count on was super mario bros or donkey kong and thats all i ever wanted...or turn on my PSone and be happy with MGS or Soul Reaver. yeah technology is nice and all these added features we have today are &quot;great&quot; but it shouldn't be the selling point of a system...in game messaging, video stores, web browsers, virtual homes...what are they gonna think of next...maybe i should be happy..maybe i should love the fact that i can download videos and message my friends and still play games on a single console..but when it comes down to it...all i want is games..thats all i really want..maybe you disagree, you say we need all this stuff..thats your opinion and your entitled to it..but i'm entitled to mine as well and i say i DON'T need it...yes its great to have it, but i don't need it...</div>

<br />
If 1 = 1<br />

 <br />
2 is greater then 1<br />
<br />
1+1= 2<br />
<br />
if x = x<br />
   y = y<br />
<br />
is y greater then x or the other way around?<br />
<br />
if I was a man and I had 1 apple and another man had 2 apple's, which one would survive longer in the same conditions with the sun and a dry plain as a threat. thy both are in the same mental condition and the same health.<br />
<br />
You know a man has the X and the Y chromosome, while the woman has both of the X chromosome.<br />
<br />
It makes you wonder, while men have all these macho behavior women keep having the upper hand.<br />
<br />
It makes you think are they more powerful then man</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>What happened to a great beat complementing an intelligent verse?<br />
why is a dance the backbone of your song, making it even worse?<br />
everybody getting money, so they rappin about it like its hot topic<br />
but its really about the persuit of money, rather how you got it<br />
People need to be spoonfed every fact, dire need of a magic bullet<br />
solemnly &quot;swearing&quot; and then blaming games and protesting to pull it<br />
so, in this day and age of not having much mental stimulation<br />
shriveling pen1ses causing people to become mental patients<br />
they used to say that the early bird is healthy, rich and wise<br />
is that why a child is born early, and before his own parents, dies?<br />
remember when, an apple falling made Newton brainstorm<br />
but now, it takes money as motivation and a hail-storm!<br />
why? what happened along the way, what changed among us?<br />
people &quot;living&quot; without purpose, just popping up like fungus<br />
anyway, it doesnt matter the why, I ask for no blame game<br />
because blame is a beautiful thing, wash your hands off the issue<br />
whatever you did, remember, nobody's gonna miss you.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>This is truth, and nothing but the utmost truth that I am one of those few females, who facually remain unaffected by all the Hollywood glitz, and that fake glamour. <br />
 <br />
Never have I cared for the artificial faces, mainly belonging to the women kind, which hide behind layers upon layers of makeup, waiting to dazzle you in all the wrong ways, and hiding in wait to tell a whole new story. <br />
 <br />
I personally never sit up to watch a movie just for some character, who looks pretty, and pleasing on-screen. However, never did I think that this movie-epidemic will wash over me, like a raging tide that uncannily approaches silently, but utterly drowns the victim in its deapths. <br />
 <br />
Yes, I have been hit by a crush bug. Astounding you ask? Yes, it is quite unflattering enough to admit it myself, but since I have so mercilessly thrown Cloud out of my signature, it was only natural that something which can be dubbed &quot;Heaven on earth&quot; has bested him, or at least taken a nice, cozy seat by his side. <br />
 <br />
If you do not already know, I speak of Ben Barnes who plays Prince Caspian in that popular movie. <br />
 <br />
I must admit, I was taken back when my defences crumpled down before this handsome man. Never have I seen such perfection, such innocene coupled with a bewitching smile gracing upon the lips, and not to mention the goof-ball like silly qualities... I was hit hard, and unexpectedly. <br />
 <br />
Thence, here I shamelessly admit that I have developed some sort of awkward likeness for this man, and have thrown my usually dominant asexual side into a wandering status. <br />
 <br />
Farewell my otherhalf, as Ben sticks out a tongue at you. <img src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a24/sandiwandi/benbarnes-2.gif" border="0" alt="" />:(</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I can't even call you &quot;sonyfans&quot; because theres no way in hell a PS3 owner could have been a PS2 owner.<br />
<br />
PS2 owners loved games, they were smart and above the console fanboyism faggotry. They were open to trying new franchises and <b>didn't give a **** about hardware specs or &quot;special features&quot; consoles had other than just playing games.</b><br />
<br />
PS3 owners can't, just CAN'T be the same people. It's impossible. The way PS3 fans act these days is everything PS2 fans were above. They never admit when sony is wrong and fall for every backhanded tricks they try to pull off on you. Tricks PS2 fans would have seen right through and admitted as a fault.<br />
<br />
Goddamn.</div>
