::Knuckles Chaotix::

First of all, I wanna go on the record and say that I like Knuckles alot more than I do Sonic. 1. He's red, and for those of you that know me, i LOVE the color red. ^_^ 2. He can break through breakable blocks and walls by simply walking towards them. This prooved that even though Sonic had the speed, Knuckles defenitely had the power, cause as you all know in Sonic 3 Angel Island Zone Act 1, there was that section before the sub-boss where you couldnt go down, you HAD to go up, because those boulders blocking the bottom path sonic couldn't break even as Super Sonic. 3. He can glide through the air and pick up speed while he's gliding. That is fucking amazing. Sure Tails can fly in the air but it's only for a short amount of time. At least with Knuckles, you can glide for as long as you want to untill you either decide to stop, or hit a wall. And speaking of walls, 4. He can climb walls. Fuck yea!! Sonic 3 & Knuckles had all sorts of little secrets that weren't accessable with Sonic or even Tails for that matter. Hell, Sonic 2 even had some secrets of it's own, more so in Chemical Plant Zone. Perfect stage to get to the top-most point of the screen to rack up on alot of 1ups. Not including the ones that you could normally pick up as sonic or tails, there are 3 in the first act, and 2 in the second act. Once you did that, you were defenitely set for the rest of the game. The only flaw that Knuckles had was the height of his jump... its basically half the height of Sonic's jump.

After the huge sucess of Sonic & Knuckles for the Genesis, Sega decided to make another sonic game for the genesis, but was later canceled. Today it is known as Sonic Crackers in the rom hacking/emulation world. This was debated as being the 4th sonic game made for the Sega Genesis, simply because even though Sonic & Knuckles was truely the 4th Sonic game for the Genesis, we later found out that it was just a "Sonic 3.5/Sonic 3 part 2" game. See, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles was supposed to be it's own individual game, but since it was too big for the cartridge/Genesis (i forget which one), it had to be split into two parts, hence why the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge used "Lock-On" technology. At the time it was a big thing, because that ment that you could play any game with Sonic & Knuckles. Well to be more specific, you could only play the "Blue Sphere" game (which was Sonic 3 & Knuckle's special stage zone). The plus side though was that each Genesis game had it's own Blue Sphere stage, so every stage was completely different, both layout and color wise. As for the Sonic games, aside from the obvious Sonic 3, if you locked on Sonic 2, you got to play Sonic 2 as Knuckles only, which made everyone very happy. So you would think that you could do the same thing if you locked on Sonic 1 right? Wrong. You get the Blue Sphere game again, only this time, unlike all the other non-Sonic games, which just had one special stage and that was it, Sonic 1 with Sonic & Knuckles had a whole series of special stages. Scoring for this one was funny though... lets say you played stage 1 and if you got all the spheres but didnt get a perfect (which is collecting all the rings), the next stage would be stage 2. But if you DID get a perfect, the next stage would be stage 11. In other words, for every perfect you get, you skip 10 stages... which is pretty cool , specially since you get a little animation of the "Cast Of Characters" at the end of each "Perfect Game".

Anywho, back to Sonic Crackers. This game was being developed around the same time that the Genesis started getting two new "add-ons" to increase its life span to continue to compete against it's competitor; The Super Nintendo. One add-on was the Sega CD (which sad to say, I never owned v_v), and it was the first Video Game console to use CDs. It had its own Sonic game "Sonic CD", which sorta broke away from the genesis story line but introduced a few new things, which I wont go into detail about. The second add-on was the "32X" (THIS one i DID own ^_^). It went back to cartridges which confused the hell out of alot of people... cause why go back to cartridges if they made the Sega CD? Anywho, just like the Sega CD, the 32X got it's own Sonic game... although Sonic wasn't a playable character in the game. Yep, I'm talkin bout Knuckles Chaotix, and it was the game that "Sonic Crackers" was supposed to be. Don't believe me? Well, let's look at the facts. For those of you keeping score at home, and have the Sonic Crackers and Knuckles Chaotix roms with you, you can play along with me. Sonic Crackers and Knuckles Chaotix both use the teamwork system via two rings keeping them together like a rubberband... thats 1. Sonic Crackers and Knuckles Chaotix both use the same music and songs... thats 2. And finally, both Sonic Crackers and Knuckles Chaotix use the "transition from day to night" setting for the stages... thats 3. Oh and if you wanna get more in-depth, if you use the stage select cheat code in Knuckles Chaotix, you'll notice one of the options is also "Character Select" and who is the first person in line? Mighty The Armadillo. Now in order to understand why Mighty is so important in this factor, we must first have to look at the character itself. It's pretty much a Sonic clone except its a red armadillo. Even Mighty's sprite is Sonic 1's Sprite retouched and recolored. TECHNICALLY, Mighty wasn't even supposed to be in Knuckles Chaotix, and it isn't the first time he's been in a "Sonic related" game before. In japan arcades, there was this other Sonic Game called "Sega Sonic The Hedgehog". The graphics were kick-ass and it's playing style was different from the other games (aside from the fact that you used a trackball instead of an actual joystick. It's hard to explain, but I did find a few videos explaining it and to give you an idea on what it was about. This is the whole game with Sonic and a little bit of the other character (Ray The Squirrel) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0Qr0kS XGEg and this one has Mighty The Armadillo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmQxDJ3 Q860 (please excuse the dude talking). On top of that, it's also been told that Mighty was actually the first idea Sega had for a character BEFORE they came up with Sonic, so in theory, Mighty is actually the OLDEST Sonic character in existance... some would say that Sonic is the actual clone instead of Mighty, but at this point, its pretty much personal opinion. So yea, there's some background info on Mighty. The next slot in the character select list in the stage cheat of Knuckles Chaotix is this line that reads "*********". This was Tail's spot in the beta rom Sonic Crackers, but if you select it, you get a freaky colored Knuckles that freezes the game as soon as it starts... I.E. unplayable. THEN comes knuckles and the crew. And speaking of Knuckles, he got a totally new sprite job, which to me came out really good.

Ok now about the game... NOT what you would expect for a Sonic game. For one thing, the "Team" thing is necessary in some cases, but for the most part, it's useless. Specially when EVERY character can either fly or clib walls... well, unless you actually count those wastes of spaces known as "Bomb & Heavy"... they cant climb or fly. Only reason why their in the game is cause apparently their Dr. Robotnik's robots that got rejected and now wan't to help the Chaotix crew to stop him. And if you have the selected as partners, you'll know why their wasted of spaces... SLOW AS FUCK. Specially Heavy... my god. And Bomb just blows up everytime he gets whacked around, and his explosion damages YOU too. So it makes you wonder who's side they are REALLY on. Anywho, you can stop your partner in his tracks by holding B and then using the D-Pad to move your pain character in the desired direction, stretching out the band, then once you release B, you'll be going fast. This is one reason why the rubber band thing is useless because you can just do a spin dash and you'd get their quicker. Seriously, by the time you charge your rubber band, you'd be at your destination already if you would have used the spin dash. The other reason is that your second character is most of the time getting in the way... specially when your in the air (which will happen alot in some stages). When you wanna go one direction, your partner will either prevent you from going there, or make you go the other way. Another flaw in the game... REPETITIVE STAGES! I'm not kidding, even though there are 5 worlds to choose from, all of them have 5 acts, and all acts are the SAME EXACT LAYOUT, except with more stuff added and the goal is located differently within the later acts. The enemies are the same as the ones from Sonic CD, but with newer ones added as well... which also raises a few eyebrows. Like maybe Sonic CD and Knuckles Chaotix's storyline follows one another and Sonic CD is truely the 4th Sonic game, making Knuckles Chaotix the 5th game. But then you look at the Game Gear games and then trying to figure out the TRUE chronological order of the Sonic series can be a real pain in the ass. After all, Metal Sonic from Sonic CD is also in Knuckles Chaotix as well. So if you really think about it, it was like after Sonic CD, Dr. Robotnik decided to leave Sonic alone and fuck with Knuckles some more. Idk, thinkin bout it too much makes my head hurt. Last thing to talk about is the special stages. First of all, instead of Chaos EMERALDS, your collecting Chaos RINGS... um what? Why rings? Its not like they ever came back in a future Sonic game, so why would you not use Emeralds? Plus there's only 6 Chaos Rings, and they don't change you into any super forms if you collect them all, in fact, the only person that get's any power from them is Metal Sonic, which transforms into this red huge ugly version of himself with more spikes. The only reason why I could see them using rings instead of emeralds is because since everyone is in Robotnik's Carnival Land, Robotnik MADE the Chaos rings which gives the island and himself more power, so Knuckles and the crew have to collect the rings to take away Robotnik's power, since in the end credits, if you don't collect all the rings, Super Metal Sonic destroys the whole word. And if that's the case, then I pretty much answered my own question. But aside from the rings, the special stage itself is 3D, like sonic 2 and 3 and CD, only it makes use of the whole "polygon" shapes and designs instead of "2d looking like 3d" effect.

So yea thats about it. For the most part, it's worth playing, specially if your a Knuckle's fan like myself. Unfortunately only way you can play this game is if you have an emulator or the actual 32X and game, cause it never made it on any of the other sonic collections they came out for the PS2, XBox, and GameCube. Not to mention that I dont think it's available to download for the Wii yet. Correct me on this if im wrong.

::Inappropriate Use Of The "Dun-Dun-Duuuuuuuuuuuuuun" Noise::

I was gonna save #9 for "The Media", but I've been coming across this problem ALOT recently and its too big of a rant to make it part of my 10th rant (top 10 mini rants), so i might as well get it out of the way now.

First of all, dont fuckin laugh, cause yes... this noise scares the holy FUCK out of me. And don't try to pretend that I'm the only crazy person and that no one else has certain "noises" that they can't listen to or hear cause it freaks them out as well. Let me describe it this way... everytime I hear that noise, i can actually FEEL a year of my life being depleted from my body. it's one of those scary feelings that feels like your own soul is coming out of your body, trying to hide and run far away to a safe place. It's the same equivalent feeling I get whenever someone mentions the movies "The Ring" or "The Grudge"... those fuckin long haired, SCARY eyed Asian ghosts haunt my brain to this day. In fact, they are the reason why I hate the dark more than I ever did. So you can imagine how SHOT my nerves are gonna be at the end of the night when not only do i have asian spirits haunting my brain, but then that fuckin noise appears right before I have to go to bed. Luckily that sound is also one of those sounds that my brain can easily forget about, even when for some fucked up reason it wants to bring it up again, it can't really get the right key. It's like when women get pregnant, something happens inside their brain that makes them forget about child birth pain... VERY useful function. But just to make sure that it doesnt come back to fuck with me while im TRYING to sleep, im currently listening to some smooth techno music so that i can drown that sound.

To fully understand why it bothers me so much, you have to go back in time to the 90's when i was like around 6 or 7, and Ren & Stimpy was the new show on Nickelodeon. I was watching the episode where Ren gets sick so Stimpy takes care of him, and near the end of the bath scene they played that fuckin noise when it showed the people lookin through the window. My skin turned white as a fuckin sheet. It was the worst experience I have ever been through as a kid. Now, I'm sure you all had shit you were afraid of as a kid, and eventually you got over them, except for like one or two things that you STILL can't seem to shake off and prolly never will even when your old and gray. This is why the term "WORST FREAR(S)" was created. And yes, alot of people can face their fears, but some can't, and that doesn't make them weak or pussies, everyone is different, we all cant like or not like the same things. I know a person that can't be anywhere near dolls or she has panic attacks because she saw one too many "Chucky" movies and now she too is mentally scard for life, just like i am.

So I know right now your like "ok, thanx for sharing that your weird and hate that noise, but how is that 'inappropriate'?", well if you haven't noticed, it's being used WAY too fuckin much on tv and internet videos (mostly flashes like the ones on newgrounds). To me, a sound with THAT much of an impact should only... ONLY be used in EXTREME circumstances. For example, take the Spongebob episode where he forgets how to tie his shoes, asks Mr. Crabs for help, only to look at his feet and realize he isnt wearing any shoes. That is an "Inappropriate Dun-Dun-Duuuuuuuuun Moment". Everyone fuckin knows that he never wears shoes, in fact, the only time I've actually seen him in footwear was when he went Clam Fishing and the big one ate his millionth dollar bill. But yea, out of all the other suspenseful and somewhat eerie sound effects that have been made over the years, why does THIS one have to be whored out the most? It was at one time used all the time on NBC commercials for their zitcoms, and I even unfortunately stumbled upon it on a kids show on PBS... I kid you not. This show called "Zoom", had a sketch of idk kids talkin in a made up language, then one boy says somethin funny then uh-oh... suprised looks from the other kids facing the camera and yes, you guessed it... the Dun-Dun-Duuuuuuuun noise. Its amazing the shit I can remember about my past. But you'd think that for a KID'S SHOW, they would use some more "pleasant to younger ears" sounds instead. But the worst offender I've come across is when i got "Family Guy: The Video Game" as a z-mas gift some years ago for the PS2. Everytime you die, that noise plays. WHY?!?! It's not necessary AT ALL. Get rid of it for something else. C'mon people, wtf?!??!

Ok I think I'm good now, but my sanity and nerves are a different story. I'll save the media rant for #11. In the meantime, be sure to check back for Rant #10.

::Alcohol, Cigarettes, & Drugs::

I know I'll prolly make some enemies for this post since they will defend this shit till the day they die but i dont care. Let's face it, everybody knows that this shit is bad for you, yet there are still assholes that continue to do these things. Either it isn't clicking with them, or they WANT to kill themselves... and if it's the second reason then there are ALOT quicker ways of doing that.

Let's talk about cigarettes first, since i know first hand about this stupid addiction... and no, I have never stuck one of those gross tubes in my mouth. My mother has been a smoker ever since i was born, and getting her to quit this disgusting addiction is like telling my ex christine to stop talking to me... it's never gonna happen (seriously, the bitch had the balls to IM me on my old AIM screnname like a day or two ago cause she "was searching sites and it came up"). First of all, why the hell would anyone want to get into that nasty habit in the first place? Sure it may have been "cool" back in like the 40's when the Flinstones was doing commercials for them (i swear this is true, i have a video of it on my computer too as proof), but take a look at all the shit their finding out about it now... the nasty-ass chemicals. Hell, now-a-days there are MORE anti-smoking commercials and posters than there are regular smoking posters and advertisements... which begs the question, if advertisements got people hooked on cigs, then why doesn't smoking prevention ads have the same effect? I mean for fuck sakes, have you even seen some of these "truth" commercials they air on tv?! The fat mother of a young girl with tubes inside her nose, the dude with a voicebox... some of those aren't even kid safe commercials. It's literally at the point where "scare tactics" is their next move, but i have a feeling that even then people wouldn't quit. Hell, even if you havent seen the commercials, just hang with an old person one day and listen to his/her problems that they got because of smoking, AND THEY STILL CONTINUE TO SMOKE!!! HELLO?!?!?! Am I the only one that see's that as a little fuckin weird??? Hear them talk, they sound like the fuckin budwiser frogs. Hear them cough, it sounds like their lungs are filled with goop. Go near them enough to SMELL them and... well... in all honesty the smell ALONE should give you some sort of indication to stay away from these stupid things. The only way i can really describe it to you is that it's one of those smells that seeps deep into your brain, giving you a migrain because your fuckin brain is going "OW OW OW!!! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU ASSHOLE?!?! I DONT NEED THIS SHIT IN MY BODY!!!", hence the coughing and gagging that will happen to you afterwards. Happens to me all the time, hence why i can't be anywhere near a smoker when their lighting up those fuckin cancer sticks... specially chain smokers... MY GOD!!! Their not fuckin candy you morons!!! Anywho, getting back to my mom, she's the "other" type of quitter. Yes there are actually two types of quitters. The first type quits smoking, cold turkey, end of story. They either use the patch or shove shitloads of gum in their faces or do anything else to take their minds off of it. These are the strong minded people (not as strong as the people that decided not to do it in the FIRST place, but yea, you get my point). THEN theres the other type of quitter, and these people are one of the most FUCKING annoying groups of people in the world. They CLAIM they will stop smoking, but then about 3 days into it, they fuckin go bezerk, taking their frustration out on EVERYONE, and before they decide that killing themselves would be a much better idea then going through the "stress of quitting" they shove a cigarette in their mouth to make things better. For these type of quitters that are reading this rant I only have three words for you... GO FUCK YOURSELF!!! Don't fucking tell me "chris its sooooooooo hard to quit, you don't know what its like"... OF COURSE I DONT FUCKIN KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE!!! Because when i was young, i made the smart choice to never ever ever ever ever try that shit and get hooked onto it... not to mention i excercise as well (*cough* DDR *cough*), so my lungs are the fuckin best they can be. And it's obviously NOT hard to quit cause people do it all the time, so stop making excuses you pussy motherfuckers! Don't fuckin give me an attitude either because you KNOW I'm fuckin right... the problem is that I hit you where it hurts and you have no retort to it, so you have to get all fuckin emotional and attack me in other ways like a fuckin immature baby. GROW THE FUCK UP!!! Wow ok i spent WAY too much time on this subject so lemme wrap it up by saying this... The process of quitting smoking is going to be long and yes, hard, but it can be done. And I know this cause unlike all the losers I went to high school with, I actually fuckin payed attention in health class. See, if you are a smoker, you have little tobacco men living in your brain that feeds on the nicotine, and when its on low or all out, they go on a rampage inside your head. This is going to happen once you stop quitting and this is where alot of weak people loose it because the migrains are "too much for them". In reality this is your body and brain making you suffer for all the torture you put it through in the many years that you did smoke. Then you will start to notice other small changes. You wont be COLD as much anymore or jittery cause your nerves wont be shot anymore. Then you will actually have taste in your mouth... thats right, when you smoke, your taste buds go as well, so when you dont smoke anymore, certain foods will taste different, and maybe even better than they did before. Then everything else will slowly get better from there. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN IN ONE DAY!! This is the one thing that most people fail to realize... mostly because majority of the world is fuckin impatient with shit. But yea, give it like a month, and you will be better... MUCH better.

Wow, ok now that my mind is fried from that, lets talk about drugs. There are many types of drugs out there, and their all bad for you. Crack makes you a nappy haired paranoid freak, Ecstasy makes you VERY dehydrated, acid fucks with your brain... I could go on but I wont cause let's face it... if your actualy stupid enough to try those things then i'll let the police explain just how fucked your life will be once they bust your ass for posession and/or intent to distribute. And trust me, EVERYONE gets caught. But yea i wanna focus more on pot and marijuana since THIS seems to be the most debated drug. Folks, this shit is illegal for a fuckin reason. Sure, your laughin your ass off most of the time and then you'll get the munchies... but there are BAD side effects to this shit too. First of all, you fuckin REEK, worse than cigarettes, and nobody is going to go near another person that smells like they havent taken a bath in MONTHS. Second, you get LAZY, and it's bad enough that we have a bunch of lazy fucks doing absolutely nothing in this world. Can you imagine, if Pot was legal, and everyone in the world smoked it, the destruction that would become of the economy and everything else that makes USA a working, yet somewhat stable country? Why else do you think the USA is the hardest working country in the world and that the best of the best come here? That all would change with just a simple plant ladies and gentleman, and the government knows this. Plus consider this... Hippies... thats another problem the country would have to deal with. Sure they did great things in the 60's, but their time is over, the fact that they still exist is a problem. It's one thing to be environmentalist, its another to prevent stuff like irrigation from happening. History repeats itself... meaning that if man many years ago found a way to work with the earth and keep it lively and well while still using it's natural resources for good purposes, then they can surely do it again to this day, and futures to come. Not every fuckin organization is a ecosystem killing maniac. get the fuck over it. Also i dont wanna fuckin hear how you use pot and marijuana for "medical purposes". You stupid motherfuckers actually think that you can get away with this shit?? Please, do the world a favor, and eat a gun after you smoked all the leaves you used. Because there are actual people in hospitals that NEED stuff like that. Guarentee you, if the police catch enough fucktards that use this excuse, the government will actually BAN the use of it in hospitals, and then all the sick patients will be fucked thanx to wastes of sperms that decided it was a good idea to use that cop out instead of admitting their faults.

Now for the last one, Alcohol. I loath this shit entirely. I make sure to stay away from alcohol at all costs. Some of you may be wondering why i have such a hatred for alcohol, but hopefully by the end of this rant, you'll have a better understanding, and if you don't, do not try to make sense out of it to me cause i will not buy anyone's bullshit. I don't even know where to begin on this topic. Ok let's compare alcohol to chocolate (and im talkin about liquid chocolate like a smoothie or somethin). Both of them makes your liver work twice as hard. The only difference is that with Chocolate, your nerves are skyrocketed from the sugar and caffeine, but then you'll crash hard, and then wind up with bad acne. You will be sick and/or throw up depending on how much you had, but you wont fuckin die from it. Seriously, do you know or have you heard of anyone dying from a chocolate overdose? No, of course not. With Alcohol (especially if you drink alot of it), your brain gets all fucked up from the loss of brain cells, your vision becomes impaired, your breath will REEK, your talk like your 1 years old, majority of the time you'll be trippin over your own goddam feet, and if no one is around you to wake your stupid-ass up when you pass out, you will DIE from alcohol poisoning. Not to mention that if you DO survive, and puke your guts up, you could do long lasting damage to your liver. WHY IN THE FUCK would anyone love that feeling?? To this day, i STILL will not understand how drinking became a fun activity... maybe to fuckin rednex and white trash trailer park people because they got nothin better to do with their time, but civilized people that actually have a fuckin brain shouldn't resort to this kind of bullshit. I can think of much better safer things to do, like go see a movie... thats one thing. Or go to the arcade... thats something else. But going to bars and parties to get so drunk that you wont know what the hell happened that night? Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa um, no... I dont think so. The worst part is that almost every single person in my town... no scratch that... on Long island, thinks i am the most boring person in the world, and this is part of the reason why no girl wants to be around me. That is some fucked up shit right there. And I am not about to conform like the rest of the population just so that I can get a girl to talk to me. Unlike the rest of these people that seem to wanna degrade themselves without a care in the world, I actually have morals and standards. Plus, Alcohol changes people. For most people it makes them into these evil, cold hearten people that dont care about feelings and act like they have no conscious. They will hurt, cause physical pain, and in some cases, even rape. So yea.. not very good company. And if you wanna add one more bad thing, then add drunk driving, cause that is the one thing that still seems to be a big problem. Why nobody is getting the message is beyond me. How many more people need to be wrapped around a pole till everyone starts getting the hint??

Ok I'm wearing myself out, I think that should be enough for this rant.

::EMOS::

I REALLY fucking hate these wastes of sperm. Like you don't even know the dark evil hatred i have for this particular group of people, and if you were to take a trip inside my mind to find out, you would run to your rooms in terror, locking your door and hiding under the blanket pretending you were somewhere else. And I'm not going to talk alot about them or otherwise I'll start banging my head against the wall till i bleed.

For those of you that do not know what an emo is, well... YOU ARE VERY LUCKY AND FORTUNATE! And i hope that you never have to encounter someone like an emo, otherwise you'll be left with a feeling of wanting to punch babies, cause thats how pissed off you will get by the time they are done fucking your ear with pointless bullshit. Their not hard to spot, specially emo men... and by this i mean that their attire is pretty much mostly black, and not just clothes... this also includes nail polish, hair, and even mascara. So if you ever see someone looking like this... please stay away from at all costs.

This is actually the first problem I have with emos. Their style is like a mix between punk and goth, which results in a deformed birthchild. Take off the fuckin make-up and wear some decent clothes! Like seriously, first of all its not very pleasant to look at, and second, theres a specific day for that kind of shit, its called halloween. The second problem comes as soon as you start talking to them (and why would you anyways? unless your actually attracted to that kind of shit). I can't believe that grown men can actually do more bitching and complaining than a woman can... and their not even gay! And it's always about the most littles insignificant thing in the world like "oh the way so-and-so looked at me was wierd" or something like that. The main thing emos are always complaining about is "nobody loves me". Really? Well gee I wonder why?! Majority of people in the world don't like to hang around with depressios like you. And the majority of people dont even care either. Srsly, your just a spec of shit like everyone else in the world. EVERYONE has problems, MUCH bigger than yours but guess what... they cope with it and find ways to overcome their adversities.

Then theres the cutting.. omg the cutting! WTF the cutting?!?!? STOP WITH THE CUTTING!!! Theres only two sane reasons why anyone would wanna mark themselves... tattoo's or piercings. These sick bastards cut themselves to "relieve themselves of the emotional pain they go through". WOW THAT IS THE MOST FUCKING STUPID THING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! Ok, listen up emos, if you REALLY wanna end the pain, just kill yourself. Go ahead and kill yourself. PLEASE kill yourself. FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST FUCKING KILL YOURSELF!!! It's not that hard to do, really... just go in deeper with that box-cutter you already use, or better yet, use a bigger knife and just make a BIG GASH, and let the blood pour. Hell I'll even supply the knives if i have to, my mom carries a shitload in the kitchen. C'mon it'll be fun, its every emos wet dream. Not like your going to accomplish anything in the near future, so honestly what do you have to loose? Nobody cares about you anyways, so why bother dragging it out more and just embarassing yourselves. And just when you thought that wasn't enough, they actually take it one more extreme and Gender Bend. I recently found this out like a year or two ago, and what this means is that they actually PRETEND to be gay and/or bisexual, kissing and grabbing included. YOUR TURNING HOMOSEXUALITY INTO A FAD NOW?!?!? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!? There's REAL gays and lesbians out there fighting for their rights to do the same things as heterosexual people, and you have the balls to turn it into a joke?! I hope that a REAL gay and lesbian person or couple comes up to you and gives you the biggest ass kicking you have ever gotten, cause it's obvious that your parents didnt do a good job at that.

I would drag this out and talk about the type of music they listen to, but I can't discuss it for the simple fact that I cant take listening to that shit and dipping a q-tip in acid and shoving it in my ear would be a more plesant thing then having to sit through THAT bullshit music. Also I would rank on "My Chemical Romance" but I actually feel bad for them, cause just like the gender bending thing, i found out that they didnt INTEND to be a rock band for emo people, so they sorta got sucked into the emo croud unwillingly. In fact, they hate emo's as well, so you gotta repsect them for that. Anywho, emos... they are disgusting, worthless, pathetic, disfunctional members of society and I believe they should be wiped off the face of this planet. And bring their parents along for the execution as well cause they did a VERY poor job at raising their kids.

::ME::

Sure, why the hell not? After all, I'm not perfect, I never said I was. Besides, lately I've been meeting alot of people that seem to have problems with me... mostly women. So to make everything crystal clear, I've dedicated this special rant about myself... ok not really a rant, more like an informative clarification about myself that has anger and swear words in it, lol. Kinda like Rant 5. Now why did I choose the number 6 spot? Well first of all i was born on the 6th day of March which is the third month of every year (3 x 2 = 6). This makes me a Pisces, which is the 12th Astronomy sign (6 x 2 = 12). For those of you that are into that sort of stuff you'll automatically get what I'm trying to say, but for those of you that don't, allow me to quote some astroligical interpitations about my sign, in which i will translate them afterwards to clarify myself even more...

"The March 6 Pisces birth date identifies with a person who has a magnetic personality. Even though you may be somewhat shy and withdrawn at times you will discover that, as soon as emerge from your shell, there are numerous others who will welcome you to participate in their lives.". I'm ALWAYS quiet. I was never really the talkative person to begin with. This is mostly common when im around new people because, as the interpitiation says, im shy. However being shy doesn't mean im an asshole that wont give you the time of day because i believe im better than you. WHY THE FUCK do people seem to connect the two together? I mean it's not like i have such a sour puss on my face everyday, so I don't even give that vibe off to anyone, so whats the deal??? Anywho, the shyness part of me is also the reason why I MUCH preffer constant talkers than other quiet people. And even then people seem to think that they will annoy me with their constant talking. News flash people... THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!! Do you know how many times I lend other people my ear (metaphorically speaking of course) whenever they need someone to talk to? My god, if you thought DUMBO's ears were huge, mine would look like fuckin drapeing curtains, or a really long wedding dress. It REALLY doesnt bother me, TRUST ME!! Now hold on though, I am not 100% shy. I too know how to start conversations, but majority of the time it backfires on me, and it's not because I say the wrong things. It's because the people that i meet and try to talk to shoot me down with one word answers. Yea that's really great conversation time when you have another person talking to you with words like "yea... oh... ok... really?... ah... no... cool". Anywho, point is that once you get a good conversation starting, I'll open up quickly if it begets my interest, which even THAT isn't hard to do because im almost interested in everything and anything (keyword being ALMOST), and since im friendly and easy going, I can get along with almost everyone (again... keyword being ALMOST).

"Many people born on March 6 are considerably poetic and artistic by nature, and they should never suppress either themselves or, their instinctive talents." This is also true. When i was little i always LOVED to draw... mostly cartoons. Art class was my favorite class ever in school, I would put 110% effort into making any kind of project. However I was also into my Chorus classes as well. Music is my life. I grew up listening to 90's dance, and it will NEVER leave me, even when I'm old and gray. it just fuckin annoyed me when the other kids looked at my art skills or singing voice in disgust. Um wtf, if you aren't into it as i am then why the fuck are you even in the class to begin with? Hell I was even in the drama club for two years in middle school. Apparently I also had a talent for acting and made it in the town paper when i played Rooster in the play Annie when i was in 8th grade. However that all changed once High School came along, as my mother forced me to work on my art skills again. This is when I started to loose my singing voice, but my imagination section grew more and more. I remember this one project in art class where we had to make paper mishay (yea i know i spelled it wrong, i dont fuckin know) masks. I made a tengu mask and gave it a backstory that SOMEWHAT resembled a video game character (No not the last boss from Art of Fighting). It was near the due date for everyone to finish their stuff but they couldnt think of a story for their character... so your's truely had to save their asses and think of many crazy names and back stories for each mask. To this day, I still say I shoulda asked for money, lol. Anywho, for those of you that don't already know, now I'm more focused on getting my music career afloat again, only this time I'm not singing... im actually MAKING songs... on the computer.

"As a March 6 you often have very strong intuitive feelings that are usually focused around your close friends and family. Your basic instinct in family matters is so often right and it is unfortunate that at times it is hard to get people to pay attention to what you are saying.". This can be broken down short and simple. I am close with my family (mostly my mom, her and i are tight and we've been through alot, she taught me everything), but even though I'm the more LOGICAL one in my family, everyone else seems to do whatever the fuck they wanna do because they are so stubborn and thick headed. Therefore not only do most of the time I feel like a ghost, but i could have a much better time talking to a brick wall then to my own family. Sometimes this happens with friends too. But I guess sometimes it's better for them to learn the hard way.

"You are a romantic". Ok THIS one I HAVE to go into detail with because this topic is the main one that get's alot of people to start assuming shit about me and questioning my character. I am a "NICE GUY". Those two words alone should give you a fucking clue!! I am the dude that gets myspace bullitens made about me... you know that guy that will text you goodmorning, the guy that will remember what your favorite toothpaste is, yadda yadda yadda. However I'm also romantic, as the interpitation CLEARLY states. This means that I have alot of love, respect, chivalry, and honor when it comes to the ladies. Why else would I put alot of time into wanting to know what all the girls i meet are interested in?? I am the kind of guy that has ALOT of love to give, but no one to give it to. And whenever a nice girl that I have taken an interest to comes along, I will always do everything that I can to make her feel happy and good as she can possibly be. All my feelings are TRUE and REAL. I follow my heart more then my brain... which sometimes is stupid, but that's a risk a person like me has to take, and I've always been willing and ready to do so since day one. Also I can't do my part if the other girl won't let me do my part. This is what I mean... I meet a girl, I like her alot, i show her my affection for her, all is good and dandy. Now another girl comes into the picture, shes all nice with me, i like her too, but then what happens... the FIRST girl starts to get green with envy and become jealous, which results in her cursing the FUCK out of me and starting pointless teenager bullshit drama. Mostly cause majority of women have a girl mentality and can't understand the difference between loving someone and being IN love with someone. Really? Do I HAVE to talk to some of you like your in the second grade again? I really don't want to but I'm left with no choice. Ok i LOVE chocolate cookies. That doesn't mean I'm going to marry them and have kids with chocolate cookies. Same thing goes with women. Just cause I tell women that i love them doesn't mean that I'm going to become their bf and gf anytime soon. UNLESS you hear me say the words "I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU AND WANT TO BE WITH YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE", it's not official bitch, so back the fuck off. What's worse is that they have the audacity to compare me to a player. FUCK THAT SHIT! There is a BIG difference between me (nice guy) and a player. A Player will talk to women only when he FEELS like talking to them because majority of the time he is looking for something or wants something. a Nice Guy talks to women because he ENJOYS talking to them and will listen to whatever they have to say, no motivation whatsoever. A Player will "compliment" a woman by saying "girl you are fine" or "damn baby you are fuckin hott' or "sexy you have a nice ass i would tap all day and night". A Nice Guy will give a woman ACTUAL COMPLIMENTS like "hey sweetie, you are looking really beautiful today" or "hey awesome, i like the way your hair looks, very cool". A Player is most of the time thinkin about sex so he will put up with whatever the woman wants him to do so he can get laid. A Nice Guy doesn't give a shit if he get's anything, the only thing he cares about is making sure that the woman is enjoying herself and having a good time and is happy. HOPEFULLY you stupid bitches get the fucking point. And don't think for a second that I pull the same jealous shit with girls as well, cause I don't at all. I mean granted it took me till after high school to understand the differnce between loving someone and being IN love with someone, but at least it clicked in my head. If a girl tells me she loves me but does the same shit to another dude as well, i dont get jealous, i still give her respect and love and whatever happens, happens. If she likes me more and wants to be with me, yay me. If not, it wasn't ment to be, no harm, no foul. NOW FOR ALL YOU BITCHES RAGGING ON ME CAN YOU PLEASE GET THIS THROUGH YOUR FUCKING SKULLS AND LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE ABOUT MY CHARACTER AND FEELINGS?!?!?

"By nature you are not a judgmental person". THANK YOU!! How much more fuckin proof do you need?!?!? If you say you like to drink, I'm not going to auto-assume you are an alcoholic. If you dress in skimpy clothes, im not going to auto-assume you are an easy slut. Get it through your head people!!!

"People born on Match 6 generally love to play games. In the workplace your tendency to see the lighter side of even the most serious situations can sometimes prove a little uncomfortable, especially if your boss happens to lack a sense of humour." Well yea, this is true. I mean I took my job seriously, don't get me wrong I knew when there was a time and place for havin fun. I just tried to lighten the mood at the work place, cause honestly, why does everyone have to mope around so much? and if you REALLY hate the job so much, then work somewhere else?? And as far as bosses and managers go, my only advice to you is that you don't work in anything that relates to food stores like King Kullen or Walbaums or drug stores like CVS or Rite Aid cause their always run by greedy motherfuckers in corporate that think they know what's best for the company and the people that shop there just because they used to work at those stores many years ago. BOY ARE THEY ALWAYS WRONG!!! And fighting with them doesn't help much... TRUST ME I'VE TRIED!

Now with every good qualities, theres always bad ones. After all, what goes up, must come down, you cant have a yin without a yang, ect. Not only am I a pussy, but chaos seems to follow me wherever I go, no matter how much I try to minimalize it. However this "chaos" is not MAJOR, it's just bullshit drama, which I know how to handle (to an extent anyways till I just avoid the person completely). And as far as the being a pussy thing goes, only reason why i'm labled as one is because I'm a pasifist that likes to handle problems the calm, cool, and collective way rather then just becoming a neanderthal and using fists and weapons to resolve whatever issues i have, and if that makes me a bad person then whatever, I admit being guilty of not having enough balls to punch someone in the face. Besides, I don't have a middle point, i SNAP... so yea... getting on my bad side is defenitely NOT a good idea. Blame my dad for that, its a Garcia trait that is stuck with me forever. My grandpa from my dad's side was known to kill people on the streets with his bare fists back in Cuba, and I've been told I have heavy hands.

So yea hopefully that clears up some things about me. My last advice to all of you is to get to know me better as a person before you start making assumptions about me.

::Friendship::

Ok this entry isn't exactly a RANT rant, It's more a "something I need to get off my chest and explain clearly to the rest of you" rant.

This word is whored and overly-used to the point where people forgot it's TRUE meaning. It's like now-a-days anyone that meets someone that will talk to them for more than like an hour or something the person will auto-consider them a "friend". See, when I was a kid living in Flushing Queens, my mom would always tell me to "go outside and play with your friends". See the thing is, they really weren't my "friends" they were just people that lived in the same apartment as me, or people i went to school with. But since I didn't know any better, I called them my friends anyways. Now that I'm all grown up (no pun intended for you Rugrat fans), and after having been through alot in my life with good and bad people, I have an understanding of what a "freind" is really all about.

It's funny how everytime I talk to someone that has 9723659226536 friends, whether it be online or RL friends, they always seem to find a select few that they bitch about either once or twice out of the blue, or ALWAYS CONSTANTLY! Here is a perfect senario...

Person: so my friend and her bf are going camping in May, but I really don't wanna go, cause the guy I hooked up with is gonna be there, and I REALLY don't wanna see him.
Me: Ok, so dont go
Person: But their MAKING me go, it's supposed to be like a few nights where all we do is drink and have sex, and it's not like i can share a tent with her or else she'll be pissed off at me.
Me: Um, how is she making you, exactly?
Person: They paid for me to go. I'm thinkin about just giving them the money from my next paycheck cause I wanna stay here with you.
Me: So then do that
Person: well..... idk...

Ok not the best example, but it's the recent one that's happened within the month. Apparently before the whole camping thing, her friend would ALWAYS make her go out and get wasted, thereby turning her into the alcoholic that she is today. The worse part is, that HER DRUNK FRIEND DRIVES HER CAR TO DRIVE BOTH OF THEM HOME!!!

Rule 1. Friends don't make other friends do things that they dont wanna do.
Rule 2. Friends dont encourage other friends to do bad behavior.
Rule 3. FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS DRINK AND DRIVE!!!

I swear to god, it's like sometimes people either WANT a death sentence, or they were dropped at birth. Another thing that people don't understand is the difference between "friend" and "ACQUAINTANCE". C'mon guys and gals, we are mature adults now (at least some of us are), so why not think like one too? If the person you talk to only talks to you like once or twice online or on the phone every week just to catch up on things cause "they were thinkin bout you" (which really means either he or she was bored and no one else wanted to give them their time) ... that is an acquaintance. If you converse with the same person everyday at work ONLY (meaning if you only say "hi how r u?") ... that is an aquaitance. Acquaintances will always come and go, but TRUE friends will stay forever (unless you dont want them to, or give them a reason to not want you around). A true friend will want to know how your day went and will gladly hear every detail just to stay talking to you, and might even throw in a bit of his/her own two cents. A true friend will ALWAYS be available for you no matter what he/she is doing at the moment. A true friend will wake up to your phone call at 3 in the morning and drive to the highway your at to pick you up because your car broke down all of a sudden. A true friend will let you know when your fucking up and will tell you to your face that your a fuckin moron. Now I could go on but I wont cause 1. I figure you prolly got the point by now, and 2. alot of people are gonna disagree with me on that last part. Yes it's true, and its not being mean, its being HONEST... something that America as a whole doesn't know how to be anymore. A true friend wouldn't lie through their teeth just to give the other person a false sense of happiness. This is what seperates the real people from the fake people, and in all my years of meeting people, whether it be online or outside the computer, its sad to say that I know ALOT more fake people than i do real people.

And before anyone on my friends list starts pointing fingers at me about whatever (cause i know it's gonna happen), let me make myself very clear. From the very start, I ALWAYS.... ALWAYS... ALWAYS... tell the other person that I am always available for them, so feel free to contact me anytime... so THAT alone is no excuse for you slackers not getting in contact with me. Second, I know everyone is different and has certain situations that prevent people from contacting each other, but their is a BIG difference between being "busy" and being just too fuckin lazy. if you have alot of schoolwork to accomplish for a final or midterm coming up, THAT i can understand. JUST as long as when your done with all that i'll be able to hear from you again, then im cool with it. If you are a single mother trying to get alot of shit done, while maintaining some sort of social life online or otherwise, then..... well, that one is iffy. If your husband treated you like shit and now you got a divorce cause of it, then yea, i feel for you and understand completely. If you wanted to have kids at a young age, and just cant deal (or dont want to deal) with the responsibilities, then yea, its your own damn fault. If your situation includes you "working too hard" and then coming home to right away hit that bed untill the next day to do the whole process again... that i DONT see as a logical excuse. We ALL work "hard" whether you want to believe it or not, some jobs are lil easier then others, but nevertheless its responsibilities that everyone has. Yet like 25% (maybe lower) of the people that DO work actually still talk to people and keep in contact. They obviously find ways. So what happened to the other percent?! The answer is obvious... THEY ARE JUST LAZY AND/OR DO NOT GIVE A SHIT AT ALL!!! Oh and one more thing, before I forget, if you know someone that has like a bazillion friends (supposedly), and this person talks to them more than you, then your better off just finding newer people to make friends with. trust me you do NOT wanna be that person that get's random messages either on AIM/MSN/Yahoo of either youtube links, or something else thats retarded from your "so called friends", without them even saying "oh hello, how are you, its been a while, what you up to?"... unfortunately, i AM the person that has that exact same situation happen to me, and i can name a few people that i just wanna give the ban-hammer to and be like "oh what, so I'm not fucking good enough for you anymore you stupid bitch/asshole???"

So yea i could go on, but hopefully this little tid-bit of info helps you in whatever way it can.

I've been wanting to do something like this for a long while, but never had the "UMPH" to do it. And after watching alot of the angry video game nerd's videos, it's inspired me to do it even more... except with less angry and ranting, lol.

I decided to start my first video game review with something small and basic... or should i say "tiny". Tiny Toon Adventures: ACME All Stars... Tiny Toons was the shit back then in the 90's. Then again, there was something about miniaturized versions of older characters that was all the rage. From "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" to "Tom & Jerry Kids". Anywho, if you havent guessed by now, Tiny Toons is the "kid" version of Looney Toons, but with a twist. It's not the original looney toons gang when they were kids... it's an entirely new generation of looney toons (called tiny toons for obvious reasons), and the looney toons themseves are the teachers in the school the tiny toons go to (ACME Looniversity). Pretty cool huh? Anywho, I'm not gonna get too much into it, so if you haven't been fortunate enough to see this amazing cartoon, then wiki it for the info then youtube the cartoons.

Anywho, ever since Tiny Toons came out, there has been alot of games for it for the different consols that were alive back in the day. One of those games happens to be this one (ACME All Stars), which unlike the other games, which were pretty cool platformers, this one is a sports game. Konami was the company that was making all these cool Tiny Toons games, and with each game IMO they got the job done right. Now onto the game itself... It was made for the Sega Genesis. It has 5 types of sports... 2 MAIN ones (soccer and basketball) and 3 sub-games (Bowling, an obsticle course, and some "whack-a-mole" type game). It even actually has a story mode, which is good and bad in a way.Its good because it makes the game more interesting rather than it just being "another typical soccer/basketball game", plus it has yoy play all 5 games in one mode. It's bad though cause you can only choose 4 out of the 12 characters (3 in basketball). The difficulty on here is pretty decent to pretty easy depending on if your a novice or expert player. Otherwise you're better off jacking up the difficulty to Very Hard, but if you do, be careful... characters get MORE agressive in this game, and by that i mean they actually beat the crap out of you. Yes thats rtight, you can actually give your opponent a pumbling by hitting the shoot button (which is A) if your directly next to them. Each character has his/her own energy bar that depletes everytime you either beat up a person, or use a special move, and once your energy bar is low and you start seeing sweat come out of your character, you're pretty much screwed cause not only can't you do jack (except shoot the ball) but you move MUCH slower. To pass the ball to another member of your team, hit B, and to use your special move, hit C. Oh, and there's 5 places you can choose from. Perosnally I like the "Downtown" and "Monty's Playroom" stage causer the theme music isnt annoying like the other three stages. But be careful when playing in Monty's playroom cause the toys are everywhere on the floor and like to mess you up big time.

Ok so now here is the list of characters. Theirs 12 in all. To use their special moves, hit C to activate it (and for some characters, you have to hit the shoot button (A) afterwards)
1. Buster Bunny - One of the 4 main characters you get to choose in story mode. Obviously the "Bugs Bunny" of the tiny toons. A well balanced character to say the least, both good in soccer and basketball if you know how to use him. And apparently in Soccer, he is one of the best goalies to choose.

2. Babs Bunny - Second main character. An obvious clone at the time, considering "Lola Bunny" didnt get added to the looney toons gang till "Space Jam". No relation to Buster Bunny though. Basically same as Buster, except a TAD bit slower and her special move in soccer is different. Instead of the ball going side to side really fast, it bounces all over while having stars surround it.

3. Plucky Duck - Third main character. The "Daffy Duck" of the tiny toons. He's a bit faster than Buster and Babs. His special consists of him flying in the air while holding the ball with his mouth, all the while getting hit by anvils, making his mouth shoot out, carrying the ball with it to the goal/hoop. This special is a hit and miss depending on where exactly in the field you use it.

4. Hampton Pig - Fourth main character. The "Porky Pig" of the tiny toons. Slower then buster and babs. He's basically more of the muscle in the group. Better used in Basketball... cause his special is totoally useless in soccer. He turns into the ball and bounces around till you hit the shoot button to shoot himself towards the goal/hoop. But in soccer he just rapid bounces, which does nothing but damage the goalie, but you can't even move for a while cause your still recoverin from all that bouncin you did... hence why it's useless. He tends to actually make alot of 3 pointers in basketball if you play against him.

5. Furball The Cat - The "Sylvester The Cat" of the tiny toons... ironically he can't talk but only meow in the cartoon even though sylvester can talk... never understood that one. Anywho, i love this character. Furball is one of those "technical" characters, and you'll know exactly what i mean when you use his specials. In Soccer he hops on the ball and runs (i guess thats what i looks like he's doing?) on the ball then kicks the ball fast, hard, and sometimes high depending on how long you hold the shoot button for. In basket ball, he does this "flail" jump to the hoop, but make sure you hold the special button the whole time then hit the shoot button whenever, otherwise he will just let go of the ball. you can actually get easy 3 pointers this way if you know the right way to use this special, otherwise it has POOR accuracy.

6. Shirly Loon - Even though she's a female duck, she isn't a clone of Plucky, and if you've seen the cartoon, you would know that right away... that "vally" girl stereotype... so friggen annoying. And a total bitch too on Very Hard... most agressive character in the game. Makes you think she was on permanent P.M.S. the whole time. Anywho, she is another character where the special move sucks in soccer but is awesome in basketball. Since she is a "psychic", she can use her powers to make the ball float into the air. In basketball it's the most accurate move ever if you can properly control the ball in the air. Easy 3 pointer.

7. Phiphi LeFume - the "Pepe LePue" of the tiny toons. Also the only character (aside from Elmyra) that switched genders from the original looney toons character as well (Since Pepe is male and Phiphi is female). Again, special move sucks in soccer, better in basketball. She uses her stench to make the ball float into the air to reach the goal/hoop. Except in soccer, if you use it from far away (like the stupid computer player does) it keeps going high and misses the goal completely. However, the stench is so powerful, anyone that goes near it gets a one hit ko! freakin sweet, lol.

8. Dizzy Devil - The "Taz" of the tiny toons. A powerhouse like Hampton, but has the farthest steal stretch in basketball. Plus also like hampton, he's good at making 3 point shots in basketball if you play against him. And finally like Hampton, his soccer special sucks and is really only effective up close to the goalie, while his basketball special is far superior (although in both games he spins around and knocks people around that come in contact with him).

9. Little Beeper - the "Road Runner" of the tiny toons. As you would have expected, he is all speed, and the fastest character in the game. His specials are similar to Buster and Babs, so you can use him in either one you want.

10. Calamity Coyote - The "Wile E. Coyote" of the tiny toons. Bottom line, he sucks. Shortest steal stretch in basketball, can easily be knocked out in Soccer if he's a goalie, plus his special move doesn't do him justice at all. Basically he uses a machine with legs to squash people by pressing the shoot button to jump. Seems like a cool thing, but it doesn't help if you cant shoot the ball... thats right, he needs the help of mini walkers which he can send out by pressing the pass button that shoot the ball for him. Really retarded. Yet what puzzles me is that the computer player can actually make him shoot the ball without having to use the mini walkers. I'm still very purplexed as i've mashed every button to make this haoppen and yet it doesnt work... so obviouslt the computer player is a cheater when it comes to Calamity.

11. Elmyra - the "Elmer Fudd" of the tiny toons. Yea i couldn't belive it either when i compared the two but the face is pretty obvious i suppose. Anywho since she's a human, her stats are pretty high as far as speed and power goes. Unlike Elmer Fudd who likes to shoot the animals, Elmyra likes to smother them to death, and thats exactly what she does in the game. Even if she has the ball she will drop it and go for the nearest target, opponent or teammate, to give it that T.L.C. lol. So her special is maonly used as an offensive defense (if that makes any sense). if she grabs someone that has a ball, the ball gets floated by a bunch of hearts to the goal/hoop... its ok in soccer but she is better when its used in basketball if you know the EXACT time to use it. Best part is that you can use it more than once if you make the ball in the hoop.

12. Montana Max - The "Yosamity Sam" of the tiny toons, and i know your thinkin "um wtf i dont see the resemblance", but trust me it tookme a LONG time to see the comparison myself. first of all, their attitudes are pretty similar... they both hate rabbits. Not to mention you'd have a better time seeing the comparison of Monty had a mustache and cowboy hat. But i guess they got the red hair part right so beggers can't be choosers i suppose. Anywho, he's the main villan you face in every basketball game in story mode. Like Elmyra, his stats are jacked as well and has a far steal stretch in basketball just like Dizzy. His special is cool, he drives a car which is pretty much untouchable by the other players since it makes them slide all over the place. he is the ONLY character where is soccer special is WAY better to pull off than his basketball special. In basketball, you'd have a REALLY hard time making 3 point shots cause it rarely ever makes the shot, you just have to be lucky to get it... and trust me i've tried in every possible angle too, its pretty much a hit and miss shot. His soccer special almost always knocks out an opponent WHILE making it in the goal at the same time. A neat trick though, if you use Monty in his playroom, his special tranforms into an airplane and drops anvils on people.

So yea thats about it.. overall I say the game is pretty fun, even better with two players. So if you are a fan of Tiny Toons and/or love sprts games, then get a Sega Genesis emulator and give this game a whirl... or buy it for Wii-Ware if they have it

::The Military::

HOLD IT! Before you go and start throwing inanimate sharp objects at me, I'm not hatin on the military AS A WHOLE. I have alot of respect for what those brave men and woman do and what they sacrifice to give us the rights that we have today. What I'm mainly talking about is how the military has turned into just another fad.

Example 1: Advertisement. I'm convinced that all the branches of the military (whether it be the army, or navy, or marines) have whored themseves out to the media so that they can brainwash every livin being in the USA (or at least the younger peoples between 18 and somewhere in the 20's). It wasn't enough that they had the soilders come home and walk up to (or in this one time a few years ago, drive up to me while i was walking to Tri County Flee Market *facepalm*) any random person and go "what r u doing with YOUR life???". Now they try to plaster their names all over tv commercials, and EVEN MAGAZINES! I'm not kidding you, the last issue of my Game Informer magazine had an advertisement page of the marines. I DONT WANNA SEE THAT SHIT IN MY VIDEO GAME MAGAZINE!!! I have no interest in joining the military, and i never will have any interest in it in the near future. It's not my thing, and just cause i decide not to join doesn't make me a wimp, or "un-american"... all you people that think that about me can go fuck off cause guess what, unlike the rest of you hypocrites, I actually use the right to freedom of speech (yea i said it... i like to see you try to speak your mind to everyone else you know without fearing that you'll "loose all your friends").

Example 2: Women. No i'm not saying that women should not allowed to be in the army. In fact i believe that women should have equal rights as a man does. What I don't believe is that they should turn the military into one big "fad"... you know like in high school... you weren't cool unless you wore the "in" clothes, or had the "in" toys and video games that every other kid had. The only reason why I'm associating women to this example is because they are the worst offenders of this. Nevermind the fact that when guys join the army and talk about it, they have this huge fuckin ego that they are better than everyone else and can do whatever they want. Most women when they even THINK about a guy in the army, they creame their pants. I've seen alot of internet profiles of woman saying "I WANNA MARRY A SOILDER BOY/ARMY MAN WHO WILL TREAT ME RIGHT FOR THIS GANGSTA/COUNTRY GIRL"... W.T.F.??? Just cause the dude carries a huge weapon and kills bad guys, doesn't mean that he will be the best fuckin lover ever. Majority of those dudes are fuckin psychotic (prolly more than they were before they joined), although who can blame them really... the shit they see would make any weak dude shit himself and puke all over the place at the same time. But srsly, do your research... in the 40's army dudes that got married 99.9% of the time beat the shit out of their wives if they got out of line the SLIGHTEST. Do you really want a strict over-protective nutcase that could quite possibly kill you as a husband? MIGHT wanna rethink that one. Also, getting back to hypocrites, i find it VERY hypocritical that a girl will meet an army dude online for like a week and will get married to him on the spot, but when it comes to guys like me, they will say they wanna work it out but then decide to fuck us over and move on to the next fuckin shmuck.

Also I find it retarded that people actually have the balls to judge some of the soilders out there because of some of the things they do to the "terrorists". Specially with that shit years ago with that chick in the pic with her pointing at the bad guy's dicks. First of all, that shit was in a movie called "old school" and i distinctly remember everyone laughing at that when they saw it, so why wouldnt it be funny in THAT pic? Second, the people that DO judge those soilders, shouldnt judge them at all, cause majority of soilders that ARE in the army, are under 21. I srsly don't think a minor in this country should have to go to war in times of crisis. I find it ironic that the government actually trusts these kids with a huge-ass machine gun, but yet they can't even enjoy themselves in public. Point being, don't mix torture with something that a teenager would do in college. You wanna know what torture is? Go back to your history books and look up the holocaust and the camps that the jews were in... THAT my friends is torture.

But you know what, the real answer to all this is right in front of our faces, but we are too blind or dumb to realize it. If the military really needs more people for their branches, then they should recruit convicts and criminals. Now I know you're lookin at me funny, but hear me out... those serial killers and shit are already fucked up in the head and have no problem killing other people, so it's fuckin perfect. Just send them in the army and marines just to give them military tactics training and to straighten their asses out and get them on the good side instead of evil. they already have the killing instinct in them. Plus the prisons and jails would start to empty out, thereby getting rid of prisons in general to create better things for the people. And next time somebody fucks up big time, send their ass in the army, plain and simple.

::Pointless Phone Calls::

This is one of my pet peeves that i have. And this is the exact reason why I rarely ever call anyone. This is what i mean... someone calls you... or you call them cause they tell you to call them, then what happens... NOTHING! Total silence. They might say a few things here and there but for the most part, if you dont have unlimited minutes, their just wasting your precious minutes that could be saved up talking to someone else that would actuallly put those minutes into good use. I've had this senario happen to me all the time, and it seems that ladies are the worst offenders of this crap. They will be watching tv, or talking to someone else like their friend(s) that are in the same room as they are... all while STILL ON THE PHONE WITH YOU! Is there really a fuckin point to this? I mean c'mon, I know you want me to be there with you, but it doesn't fuckin help that i cant see what is going on and that I'm only hearing all these strange noises... and my imagination is VERY vivid, so 99.9% of the shit that I THINK is what is going on is false. Also for those of you that do this crap, you are basically indirectly letting the other person know that he/she is so fucking boring that you have to be doing other shit to keep you entertained whilst on the phone with them (either that or you have a bad case of A.D.D.)... cause god forbid YOU think of something good to talk about. And you know what, if you really don't have anything to say, then WHY THE FUCK DID YOU CALL ME IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?

If there's one good thing that came out of the relationship with my first ex gf, is texting, cause she was the one that showed me how to do it with my shitty-ass nokia phone way back in 2004. Communicating with people is so much easier, specially now cause of my sidekick, but even texting can be a problem, specially when you have lazy people that decide they DONT wanna type out everything that happened with their day/week/month/ect... so they call you. AM i the only asshole that takes the time out to type out everything that happeend in perfect detail just as if i was talking on the phone? I mean the same shit happens online too, you talk to someone on AIM/MSN/Yahoo, and then when they give you their number and you call them, their so much more talkative than they were online... and it's not just only recent stuff they talk about to this is like stuff from maybe weeks or months ago out of random too, like "omg so this one time shfguysyukgusyufguylsgl" and your just staring at your phone going "uh are you the same person that I talk to online?" and then they go "well i didnt feel like typing all of that" and thats when you wanna reach through your phone and choke the life out of them. SERIOUSLY, STOP BEING SO FUCKING LAZY AMERICA!!!
