For No Reason episode 4

Games are entirely too short this gen, and i discuss just why that is in this episode of For No Reason.

Anime Commentary episode #1

My first video in my series of anime commentary videos. I'm open to taking suggestions of other anime to do commentary on or any feedback.

For No Reason 3

The Nintendo difference is becoming more and more obvious this gen. This video I discuss the completely different approach in gaming between the "hardcore" consoles and the Wii U.

For No Reason 2

This one is a really good one. Its talking about the identity crisis and the obsession with maturity in the gaming industry.

For No Reason episode 1

The first video from my latest series. pretty good commentary. feel free to comment.

PSO C.A.R.D Revolution Needs A Sequel

Back in the Gamecube days, I owned a little game titles Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D Revolution, and it was pretty addictive. The game was basically Phantasy Star Online but as a grid based strategy RPG using Cards. The play had a choice between playing as the Heroes which summoned weapons, or the Arkz which summoned monsters. The purpose was to attack your opponent directly and take all of his/her hit points. The game was pretty solid albeit dated graphically, but thats exactly why we need a sequel.

PSO C,A,R.D Revolution had a versus mode but it had one major gamebreaking flaw if you wanted to play against another human opponent, rather than alongside them. The game was cardbased, and all of your cards were clearly visible onscreen as you take turns in versus mode. This  can easily be remedied in a sequel, because if they release it for the Wii U, the players will have their own screens. Also if they release it on the 3DS, the players also have their own screens with less incentive to look atthe other's screen to cheat. My question is why isn't this game already in development? Is there really nobody at SEGA who looked at the Wii U and thought "hey this word be perfect for C.A.R.D Revolution"? Nobody? Or has nobody at Nintendo noticed this and said "Get SEGA on the phone!" 

I would love to see a sequel to this with online gameplay returning (yes it was an online Gamecube game), more weapons, and some kind of miiverse connectivuty and leaderboards. I know it would happen, but a guy can dream, right?

Anime 3000 podcast 113

I was in the most recent A3K podcast, and I must say, I had a blast this time. Its always fun to get everyone all riled up with my shenanigans and eccentric taste in anime. lol

Just some random gameplay

Just a little bit of Warriors Orochi gameplay for no real reason. I just felt like playing as Hyabusa to show my brother how his character controls in this game. I'll probably post more with other characters. There's well over 100 characters in the game, so be ready

I hate stereotypes

One thing that I hate, is that people like to toss stereotypes on people based on what they like to watch on TV,  or do in their spare time.  Why is it the assumption that people who watch CSI all day are somehow more mature than those who watch Regular Show all day?  What shows you watch  and what hobbies you have does not define your  maturity. What defines your maturity is your actions and your mindset.  Period.

I mean seriously.  Who made the rule that adults have to be super serious all the time? What are we?  Batman?  This is probably why I hate most M rated games. They try too hard to be serious and don't want to do fantasy out of fear of being called childish.  Take a look at celebrities.  None of them are super serious they're happy, goofy,  and silly as they want to be and nobody  even bats an eye. Why do they get special privileges? Because they have money?  This is  a tired and dead mindset that needs to die.  Until next time : Be you. Be true. Be human.

Daily Update 1-4-15

    The first time in a long long while that I actually had a slow peaceful Sunday. Okay, Peaceful after the first 25 minutes, which consisted of doing a little bit of work related breaking and entering. I managed to get a few mangas and anime lined up ready for reviews on the Anime Pub and dowloaded the blogger app on my phone and tablet so that I can blog on the go as needs be. I intend to deliver as much quality content as humanly possible.

  I also noticed i somehow just abandonned my Pokemon training, and I don't even have a good reason why. I know I've been swamped with work and oversleeping, but I usually have time to throw in a few matchs or a little bit of EV training. I'll be sure to get back on it, so that I can be battle ready and take on the tournaments and the famous youtuber, ShadyPenguinn.  I'm really waiting and anticipating the next Nintendo Direct in hopes of getting more info and a release date on Splatoon. I'm going to be leading the Splatoon team for Empire Arcadia, so I'm beyond ready for this game.

   In completely unrelated news, I can't help but notice that asian women seem to be obsessed with getting nose alterations. One of my friends is supposedly getting surgery on her nose to make it bigger. Last time Somebody did that it was Minzy from 2NE1, and we all know how that went. I was a mega Minzy fan, now I hate looking at her weird face. What gives? whats the big deal? Why do they like to change their noses? I believe in natural beauty not all this plastic surgery bull crap that seems to be the hot new thing. Even my girlfriend has expressed interest in getting her nose altered but i shot the idea down immediately. well, thats all I have for this update. until next time: Be you. Be true. Be human.

Daily Update 1-3-15

      I slept a good chunk of today away. Again, no video because of the lack of proper editing software. I'm ready to go on vacation already. The more I stay here in the south, the more i see just how spoiled we as Americans are. I mean seriously. What happened? I'm willing to bet that if you were to ship everyone to an island where no technology made after the 80s work, they would go crazy. People are too crazy over technology now and think its a life necessity. Now, I'm not saying I myself don't like technology, I'm just saying  I know its not a necessity. I know I don't need it to survive. I remember a time  when I was living in a dang near Amish type of environment. It took a while to adjust, but after while, I was perfectly okay with it. That year and a half that I had vanished from Twitter is because of the Amish situation. However, I suppose only my most hardcore fans will even remember me prior to my E-Stranged days. Thats back when I went by the Twitter name Goron85.

   I'm probably going to hate to come back to the good ole US of A after my vacation. I know I'm going to love it in Thailand. For one, I'll be with my beautiful bride-to-be. I can only imaginehow full of energy she'll be and how excited she'll be to show me around the place where she grew up. I've only seen snippets of Thailand from Bizarre Foods and a few movies, so I should be in for a pleasant surprise. What I do know, is that it will be easy on the budget and I don't have to worry about over spending. Well, I don't have to worry about overspending unless she gives me the puppy dog eyes. Who can resist that? Tomorrow I get off of work earlier than I usually do, so I'll probably use that time to catch up on anime I should be done with by now, and play some Monster Hunter on Twitch. Yea, that sounds like a good plan. Thats all for this post. Until next time: Be you. Be true. Be human,

Daily Update 1-2-15

  Looks like i hit a snag early on in the year. The video blog that was set to be published to the page to page is a no go. I used to do all of my older blog entries on my iPod, but now I have android devices, and they all crash when i try to export my videos. Needless to say my daily videos will not be as varied as they used to be, until I get my iPhone.

      As of this post it's my mom's birthday, so on the incredibly off chance that she actually reads this, I just want to say Happy Birthday. Other than that, the day was mainly level grinding on Hyrule Warriors, and reading the Shaman King manga. I should probably get back on my Pokemon battles, so I can be ready for the tournaments. Its been a few days. I got sidetracked by pretty much everything from Shantae to Zelda. I will be modding out a 3DS to upload videos though. I'll stream almost everything I do in Pokemon to be sure to please my Pokemon fanbase. I haveto admit its been pretty fun hopping back in the thick of things, and learning all the new rules and techniques that i missed out on by skipping a gen and a half. What I'm really hyped for this year though, is Splatoon. Nintendo needs to go ahead and do a Direct announcing all the details, and tell me it will be available in March. I'm way too ready to play Splatoon.The wait is killing me.

   Tribe Cool Crew is still surprising me on the anime front, and One Piece has gotten to a really good part. This whole story arc is admittedly longwinded, but it's so enjoyable, especially since we see the return of Sabo. I most likely will miss a few episodes when I head out on my vacation, so please, no spoilers people. I've been picking up random mangas lately and nothing has stood out just yet, but as soon as I get one worth tweeting up a storm about, you'll know. Thats all for this post. Until next time: Be you. Be true. Be human.

2015 looking forward

       Well, I'm going into this new year with some ideas in motion. First of all, I want to start bavk up my daily videos blogs on youtube, and defintely want to be utilizing Twitch a lot more to get my gaming content out there. Alongside my daily video, I'll aim to put out daily blogpost as well. I have tones of ideas for articles for both my Game Corner and Anime Pub coming in 2015. I'm also trying out Loot Crate for the first time ever in January. The idea of having a box of random cool stuff sent to me every month actually sounds like an awesome idea. Theres another subscribe box i'm looking into, but I'm a very careful; person, so i'm still looking into reviews and videos for this one.

   As for the gaming side of things, its no surprise to anybody that I'm a Nintendo fan. I'll defintely be posting more articles about gaming in general and Nintendo as a company. I have literally talked former Vice President of E-Stranged, Kashihime, to sleep several times ranting about gaming. So I figured why waste my words on somebody who doesn't know the first thing about gaming when I can just blog about it instead. Topic to look forward to include Why Nintendo should not become a 3rd party, Why creativity is dying, How indies can save the industry, and The death of the graphic whore gamer. So I will be flooding the blogs with content in the months to come.

   The anime portion will be seeing big things as well. If you've been following me around the net, you know that I'm now a member of Anime3000, and I frequently appear on the A3K podcast. As well as all of the projects I'll be doing with A3K, I'm going to be doing some of my own personal projects  and even contests where I give away DVDs and boxsets. admittedly I've been slacking on my anime due to work, but I've been filling the void with manga, which is a little easier to multitask with if i do say so myself. I've started on the Pokemon manga, because for some reason I've never read it before, and I've nearly finished Shaman King and I hate 4Kids more than ever now. I hope everyone really enjoys all of the content I provide in this coming year as I kick production into overdrive.

   For those who just like to keep up with my personal life, I'm planning a vacation very soon. I'm in the process of getting my passport so that I can leave the country for the first time ever in my life and visit beautiful Thailand. My wife-to-be wants me to visit her homeland and meet her family before anything  big like a wedding takes place. I'll be sure to post an abundance of photos from my travels and keep everyone posted via the Facebook fanpage, Twitter, and Instagram. If you're looking for me on either of those, the name is AWBrawler across all three services. Thats all I have for this post, so until next time. Be you. Be true. Be human.
