The Other Side of the Stone

Wow. That is all I have to say about the amount of stuff I want to write about in relation to the volume of stuff I WILL write about. This is mostly due to crappy weather making me feel awfully lazy.

First, We have the 10 most underrated consoles. For me, I have only had my hands on several of them. For starters, the Sega Saturn. What a great system. Look at all those damned buttons! I remember playing Sonic on that thing and using maybe two buttons, yet there were six! Panzer Dragoon was another fun game. I vaguely remember using the majority of the buttons on that game. I would have more, but that was a long long time ago. Next on my list from theirs, we have the Sega handheld, Game Gear. I remember a bus trip to the Black Hills with my church where that was the most popular toy to pass around. That and the Trio CD with the song Da-Da-Da on it. Those were the days…On to the game cube. I never owned one but it was always fun when I played on it. Super Smash Brothers was certainly a great game. I played some others but nothing stands out in memory. I never touched the DreamCast. That was a period where I gave up on consoles, mainly because for a period of time I found sports and the like to be fun, because they were. Have a game and have fun. Then stuff changed and no longer were sports fun. Irrelevant in the end.

Now we have the 9 most difficult/bad-ass game villains. I don’t have much to say here as only two make my memory for having fought. Sephiroth – I hate you and love you. It didn’t get much better than him at that time. If you know what I am talking about, I need not explain. If you don’t know what I am talking about, no explanation would help. Go download and emulator and a rom and find out for yourself. Also, enjoy one of the top games of time. Moving on, everyone from Ninja Gaiden. What the hell! Everyone and their grandmother were Ninjas at some point and time. That or prostitutes. Or both. That would explain boss fights like Alma. More pale pasty demon ass in her entrance scene than, well…something. Anyone know where pale pasty demon ass might have happened or something comparable? For me, the game was bitter sweet because I believe I never actually got to the point where the credits rolled. I ended up saying good bye to the console before then. Such a shame. Especially with Ninja Gaiden 2 around the corner. GameStop here I come!

Now, Top 8 worst Microsoft Promo videos. I would love to comment, but as it seems, videos on the computer I am at will not play beyond 3 seconds so take a look and tell me what is going on. I may ammend this post once I can actually view them, but probably not. You do it for me!

Good stuff here as well but in the same boat as above. Anything that is pro games should be supported. I hope this video does that. Let me know how it goes! I will watch it eventually but still, view and post!

Finally, the saddest thing I saw, science bailing on what would be cool. Intelligent life out there. This guy basically says, no. No life. Nothing! You cant have it because I wanna be a prick! Its too complicated! BLAH BLAH BLAH. Personally, I still think there is something out there. Some people ask, why haven’t they made contact yet? I say look at it like this. You have seen all or a lot of what we have broad casted. What if they saw it too.? Would you want to meet us? I personally believe if there is life out there, after we shake hands, assuming they don’t want our resources (we have some left?), or they don’t seed our planet with their resource (Command & Conqueror series style(explained in 3)), we should challenge them to a game of Space Invaders!
