Forums suck. Screw the ratings.

Do you remember when forums were good, and you could actually get some good conversation time in with intelligent people about the topic of discussion? Well I DON'T!

Forums suck! They are now a place where people constantly agree with each other on things that don't even matter, and heaven forbid you disagree with them, because the forum hive mind will rain down upon you like raptors on defenseless pray, tearing you apart with non-nonsensical arguments that have little to nothing to do with the argument itself. And so help you if you actually win one of these arguments, Because then, WHAM!! Banned for life! This is all so that they can protect their right to be right, and your right to be wrong no matter how much sense you make. KEEP YOUR EGOS IN CHECK!

I will no longer be rating my rants.

KRR SUCKS!!!

A little help would be nice.

Listen, I want the soundtrack to Taz Wanted, I have heard that you can record game music to your computor using special cordes. I will give you a hint, if you go to the level's exit the music will freeze without the sfx, for easy recording. If you have the time, here are the tracks I want

Main menu
Zooney tunes (normal and spin)
Looningdales(spin)
Cartoon strip mine(spin)
Dodge city
Taz: haunted(spin)

I couldn't care about the rest.

(Disclamer: I can download the soundtrack because I have the game, You must own the game to legally download this soundtrack, if anyone FREAKIN' UPLOADS IT!!! I am not responsible for any illegal downloading)

Shocking...

WARNING: What I am about to show you may not be sutible for people who are weak of heart.
It contains eccessive amounts of racism against black people and jewish people. This is not a joke. Watching this made me feel scared. It is NOT a screamer. This appeared on the Tyra banks show and is an example of people who make me sick. Technically it is sutible for 13 and up, but it made my stomach uneasy. I have nothing more to say on the subject but this: WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Cloudkirby anime review: PPGZ

It seems to me that adding Z to the end of things Is a popular trend in anime culture. Somehow Z seems to make everything a whole lot better...in an alternate universe! In this one, however, Z seems to make things a whole lot worse. PPGZ is a good example of this.

Before I go into how udderly bad this is, let me talk about the origional Powerpuff Girls. The Powerpuff Girls was an americain cartoon from the 90's, the premise of which was a laughing riot. Three super powered kindergarden girls beating up the manliest of bad guy men. It was hilarious and very entertaining. Ranks third on my "Top cartoons of all time" list. (just below the simpsons at 2 and animaniacs at 1) The hilarious villans and unintentionally funny diolaugue only added to the greatness. So adding Z at the end should make it way better, right...WRONG!!

Z makes the first mistake by placeing the series in the future, after the origional PPG. Professor Utonium is now experementing with chemical Z (Ah, I see what you did there japan) in Tokyo city and has a son out of @#$%ing nowhere. Anyway, random events happen (I wasn't paying attention) and suddenly it explodes into a light dark scenario. The dark effects the bad guys while the good effects three teenage(mistake 2) girls who are not related in any way(mistake 3) and the effects don't show untill they put on power armour(mistake 4).

What sickens me the most are the bad guy changes. let me run them down.

Fuzzy lumpkins: Country bumpkin who is a model citizen untill you touch his stuff and piss him off.
Fuzzy Z: Retarded beast who wants everything for himself.
Mojo jojo: The former lab assistaint to utonium who was also effected by the chemical x blast which made him ironic. He also talked with speach that was hilarious.
Mojo Z: Still has the speach but is now a random monkey which takes away the hilarious irony.
Him: An effeminant devil with incredible evil powers.
Him Z: Some reterded clown thing.
And the worst change ever
Rowdyruff boys: three equivelant boys to the PPG who were stronger in terms of combat but always lost because the girls outsmarted them, which made the fightscenes like a funny gender war.
RRBZ: Uuuhgh...Three juvinial delinquents who pull pranks and cause general misery.

Seriously The RRB are my second favorite bad guy, the first always going to the unparalleled king of evil, Bowser, and they were also the most hilarious, why they had to change them I don't get. I hope the PPGZ stay out of america because It SUCKS!!!

I guess it just goes to show, never Customize twentieth century art. You may like it but no one else will because you RUINED A CLASSIC!!!

Z is only good at the end of Super Mario Bros.

Internet bandwagons. Irked

Just for once I would like to see an Internet bandwagon I could jump on, but apparently those are reserved for people without lives.

Internet bandwagon hit forums and completely screw them up. First one user changes his name, then another user joins in, and soon enough, every member of a forum is doing this terrible, Terrible thing. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged, or if it is, kept in the confines of one topic, and not become a forum wide phenomenon, so that us normal people can go on and live our lives without the annoying nerd popping up every five seconds to call himself a made up word.

Let me give you an example of this phenomenon. Have any of you heard of Touhou? Yes? OK. How many of you out there know what Touhou really is? None? Good, my readers have a life. This "Game" has hit the KRR forums like the black plague. It started when Dr. NK changed his name to Cirno, a level 2 boss from Touhou's "Scarlet Devil" game thing and a JOKE character. Then came Disaster, a forum staff member, changing his name to Suwako, then Mico to blah blah blah.

First of all, If you do something like this people like me are going to hate you for it. I will not complain about it in the forums because I am a relatively nice guy, I am mentioning it here because this is my site. Don't like it, leave. I hate how you nerds think that we normal people are stupid for not being able to recite every Japanese anime alphabetically. You judge I.Q. by how much someone knows about the world of the Internet, manga, and anime. Well I only heard of Naruto like a year ago, so by your standards, I'm a drool monkey. I would rather be stupid and have a life than be a genius shut-in who is thirty four and lives with his mum.

If I ever say the words I, want, Internet, and bandwagon in the same sentence again, call the hospital, I'm terminally ill.

gimmicks: Irked

Yeah yeah, I havent posted for 3 months. Truth is, if your purpose in life is reading my blog in hopes I will say something you will relate to, I don't know whether to be honored or disgusted. I post whenever the hell I feel like it so get off my back.



Now, Nintendo has made millions on games and, lets face it, what game for the wii (or any nintendo system) isnt gimmickey. a gimmick is something used by game companies to make their games stand out from everyone else. Lets face it, everybody is makeing gimmickey games because they print money.



My first example is guitar hero. Guitar hero is a huge gimmick playing on the unending want for popularity as you live out your false dream of being a rock god. First of all, you need to understand that i have nothing against Guitar hero personally, its rythm games in general. Why? Because I suck and find them pointless. but Guitar hero is better because I can actually bludgeon my opponent over the head when I lose because I have better things to do than mash buttons and play a strum bar in a pathetic attempt to re-create a guitar handling experience. Don't get me wrong, I give the game points for thinking of an origional idea like a game where you play the guitar, I just don't like it when i get completly humiliated because I can't beat "schools out" on easy. This also goes for Rockband, Boogie, DDR,and Samba de Amigo.



My next example is The Wii itself. Its a big gimmick (now don't get me wrong, I am a Nintendo fan to the end, (kirby for the win))but unlike most of the gimmicks out there its pulled of fairly well. Sure, Nintendo's main franchises attempt at the motion controles are no super steller sellers, (say that three times fast) But at least they are trying something new instead of re-gurgitating the old "press this button to do this" gameplay(and yeah I saw E3 but who gives a flying crapload, everybody sucked). I find it oddly satisfying to pick up an enemie in Wario Land Shake and shake the living daylights out of it. A change of pace for this parade of gimmicks was Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Now I know you are thinking "Cloudkirby, brawl was gimmickey to." Well let me stop you right now and say that you are an ignorant boob who deserves to be bludgeoned over the head with my Guitar hero controller. True, brawl had gimmicks, but what makes this different (and this makes the game different from others so you could consider it a gimmick as well) is that you can turn the gimmicks off in this game. You could adjust how gimmickey your game experience was, from super gimmickey, not gimmickey, and everywhere in between.

My final say on the subject, gimmicks arent bad, but only if they are used in the right way.
That and I hate any and all rythm games.

I have to go, my stubs are sore from typing.

mariokart wii.

Mariokart Wii is now available for wii consoles everywhere, and boy have I hopped on the Mariokart bandwagon. I am so glad they made this game. It is an excellent racer and a fun party game. Its no Brawl, but it gets the job done. In honor of this game, I will be doing a non-rant update. Instead , this little puff ball will go ahead and state facts about the game that I like.

First of all, I love the edition of the wii wheel (lack of thumbs). The wheel works well, and really makes you feel like you are in the drivers seat. While this takes some getting used to, once you do, it really packs a punch. seasoned Mariokart veterans, though, will want to reach for a Gamecube controller, which is what I use (you have got to imagine how I play). Just like Brawl, Mariokart Wii uses all four of the control styles, offering a lot of different ways to play, which, does not in any way accomplish the goal of bringing newcomers to do the Mariokart.

But one thing about this game is the single player (yeah, I lied above, this is a rant, mad level). Unlike Brawl, the single player seemed like a last minute tack on. and the difficulty is to the extremes. 50cc mode is to easy, 100cc mode is still to easy, 150cc is to difficult and rubber banding makes me swear like a sailor...in a fight...with turrets. Seriously, did Nintendo just put this on without thinking. Another thing, what is with the items in this game. sometimes the races are based purely on luck with items (though not so much like marioparty).

What saves this game, and makes up for this downfall Is the online play. This seems to be the main object of Mariokart. The online works FLAWLESSLY. I have to say. There is no lag whatsoever. online matchups are instant. and with regional and worldwide gameplay, It is so much more fun to school some looser in Japan, or Australia, or even in Brazil (don't play Canadians though. Their mounties may suck, but they kick ass big time in Mariokart). This online works so much better than Brawl's did. Besides, lets face it, Brawl is no fun unless you can talk smack to your opponent and gloat in there face when you murder their Ike with Wario.

So, all in all, Mariokart wii is an underrated game that is right up there with all other Mariokart titles in Nintendo's hall of fame.

Plus bikes! You have to play it with the bikes added. That just rocks.
