3D Technology

The 3DS. A simple name. A few months ago, the Nintendo 3DS was shown at E3, and gained highly positive reviews. What does it do? Well, it makes stuff pop out at you in 3D, without wearing any glasses! Over the past few years people have experimented with 3D technology. Just the fact of something popping out at you was a amazing idea.

This lead to people making 3D glasses, where the screen has these red&blue outlines, that makes the illusion of something popping out at you. Then there is Digital 3D Glasses, usually worn in Cinema, and the 3D effects are much more powerful. Then here comes this cutting edge new hand held device, that allows that powerful illusion without any glasses. This shows that our technology is getting more advanced, and people are taking advantage of it. However, this wasn't Nintendo's first "3D" device. There was an earlier project. It was called the Virtual Boy.
Yay...Virtual Reality. The virtual boy was a flop, died in less then a year, and very few games were released.

2 days ago the Nintendo 3DS was announced to be released sometime near March 2011. The Japanese price was announced, and was said too be $300. That's more expensive then the Wii. However, I don't think it is, because the Japanese price is the same as the Wii launch price, $249.99.

Technology came a long way. Just imagine how everything would be like in 20-30 years. Will the 3DS be the start of a new era of technology, or will it be a flop like the Virtual Boy? Well, it received tons of positive feedback. Let's wait and find out.

The Lost Wallet

I gotta be honest. This is by far my worst high school day...yet. I completly hate Thursdays, because it is when I have too have Weight Training for two hours. My gym clothes has no pockets, so I have too put them in my backpack, which i put in my safely secured locker.

Today we had it easy. All we did was just deadlift, squats, and because it was sunny outside, we were allowed to go outside too play some football. Now, I didn't play, I just sat on the side and watched, which was alright with the coach. After an eternity of watching, we went back too the locker room were after that you go to lunch. Now I went too my backpack too put the stuff i put in there in my jean pockets. My phone, my Ipod, My gold watch, and more. But...uh oh! Something's missing? What could it be? Why, take a random bloody guess. My wallet.

This blew my mind. First off...who would know my locker combo, i didn't tell anyone, i repeat, ANYONE, it. Second...they didn't just take the money inside...THEY TOOK THE WHOLE WALLET. If they were too rob a store or something, they might as well just take the whole god damn register! Like...just why?! Third...who could of done this, and why me? I honestly never did anything wrong to anyone in the class, or any of my classes, and everyone in my weight training class is really nice. Like what the hell, who could of backstabbed me like that. A man's wallet is like a man's underwear, yknow? You just don't take something as private and personal like that!

Now if that's not enough, there was some good stuff in my wallet. My 25 bucks I was going to use after school was gone. My old middle school ID was in there, my 4G flash drive, my libary card, my Orca bus card, my $1000 gift card for a hotel in Miami(probably expired), and more. This is just too overwhelming.

It seems as if I have alot of bad luck In middle school i had my locker broken into 2 times. First time the bloke took my frickin' lunch. What the hell, are you kidding me? Second time I will never forget. The bloke broke into my locker and took the 40 dollars I had inside the wallet. Asshole. I mean, at least he left the wallet, big whoop, but 40 gone! Ive been getting bad luck recently. Ive been getting flu's, doing not so good on tests, having trouble memorizing stuff, and much more. I mean...why me? What the hell did I do wrong? Why is god picking me as his little puppet? What the shit did I do wrong?

WHAT THE SHIT DID I DO WRONG?!?

Gah...got too think positive. Well...the blog has reached 600+ views, and I'm slowly getting more attention. It's the end of September, and we had a very good run this month. Next month, let's home the blog gets better. Now let's pray to god nothing else get's stolen from me again.

MMO's And You

Another Maplestory related Post. I should be ashamed

You start up your computer. You go online. Check your email, go on Facebook, type up essays, etc. That's how it goes for some people. But that wasn't enough. People always find creative and unique ways to waste their time while their on the internet, and one of them is Online MMORPGS.

When people sign up for a MMMORPG, some of them expect just a "simple game too play when your bored". No, it's more than just a simple game. It is a different world. No, the quest isn't too "Destory the Black Mage" or whatever the hell it is, the quest is about YOU. You will learn more about yourself. You will push yourself too do things you don't want too do. Now there is many MMO's out there, like World Of Warcraft, Aion, and much more. But we are going to use Maplestory as a prime example. Yes, that's right, were picking on maple yet again.

Now without critisizing the game like usual, its a typical MMORPG. You go around fighting bad guys, too level up, to buy new armor, to fight more enemies, to level up, and yet again too buy more armor. It is repetitive, but fun at first. You make more online friends and get too know them more. You play more of the game. You get too know your online friends more. You go outside less, and become isolated from the real world. Your friends come over and ask if you want too hang out. You say "Sorry i can't". But what was really going on was you keep playing the game.


Time slowly goes by in the game. You become higher level. Things get more and more repetitive, and then you think "This is getting boring. Why am I playing this"? You wish you could quit, but you can't! You have so many friends on that you like and you spent REAL MONEY on the game for Real-life-Money-Items...that expire. If you quit, they will be sad, and you will just wind up crawling back too play it more. You want too beat the game so the curse of the MMO lifts up and you can be free and live your life. You then take the game more seriously, learning the MMO's language, economy, etc. You become embarressed when people find out you play it and spend real money.


This is a little trend that people like too call "Internet addiction". But i prefer the term "The MMO Drug". It's not easy too quit. People will just say "it's easy to quit your just addicted". But no, they don't know what is going on in your head. You slack off more on your studies, you become more lazy, you become a couch potato...you are now a mess, because you played the MMO long enough that you met hell itself.


Then, you hate the game even more. Are your online friends actually your friends, or do they use you for their own selfish needs? You become suspicous. You notice all the precious time and money you spent on the game, and you can't take it anymore. You are forced to quit. All that time and money you used is now down the shitter. The evil aura surrounding your computer is lifted, and you can now live your life without looking like a jackass.

You think I'm over exaggerating? I'm not, this really related to me, and related too other people. I went on Maplestory to interview the fellow citizens I knew about their experience of the game that still have the patience too sit through this game. I'm going to put up 2.

Interview #1: Twinki7

Me: How did you find out about Maplestory?

Twinki7: I found out ms from my friends at school.

Me: Ah, do they still play?

Twinki7 : Nope. Moved too Private Server.

Me: Ouch...how did you come up with your username?
'
Twinki7: Hmm...before the night there was stars so i called myself Twinki.

Me: Kind of like twinkle twinkle little star?

Twinki7: Yes!

Me: Who was your biggest influence in Ms?

Twinki7: No one. >.<

Me: It's A-Ok. What motivated you too keep playing?

Twinki7: Friends. I'm a chatter box, so i love to talk too new people.

Me: Oh same here

Twinki7: Yep *Hi5*

Me: *hi5!* Anyways...have you had any thoughts of quitting?

Twinki7: Yes. There wasn't anything to do but when I found new friends it kept me playing

Me: Alright. Thanks for sitting through the interview.

Interview #2: Firebomb678(Twinki7's Brother)

Me: How did you find out about Maplestory

Firebomb678: Friends.

Me: Do they still play?

Firebomb678: No they quit.

Me: I see...how did you come up with your username?

Firebomb678: Umm...i don't know lol umm...I saw Firebomb I DON'T KNOW umm...I love fire so I called it Firebomb 0_0 My sister's one is bullshit.

Me: Hmm...that's nice of you. Who was your biggest influence in ms?

Firebomb678: Umm the graphics and it look cool.

Me: Next...what motivated you too keep playing?

Firebomb678: I level, get new skills, hot chicks, and you.

Me: How nice of you.

Firebomb678: I know, right?

Me: What else...have you had thoughts of quitting?

Firebomb678: NO YOU THINK?

Me: That's a no right?

Firebomb678: Yeah.

Me: Alright. Thanks for sitting through this interview.


Now, I think that was enough. As always, I don't care if you agree with my opinions or not. I'm just showing you how I see the world of MMO's...from my point of view. In fact, I'm not proud to say this, but once in a while I still play Maple, and the MMO Drug is still inside of me. Now let me ask you, viewer.... What should I do?

Food Court 1 Remake

I know what your all thinking. Your thinking "WTH is food court". Well, Food Court is the name of the series of visual comics/movies I make using Microsoft Powerpoint, and share for the world too see. In fact, this blog's name is the name of my indipendent company, Food Court Productions.

You know...I got really sidetracked. I was suppose to write in this blog about updates on my visual comic creations, but it seems like people are more interested in me writing about what I'm thinking, like Maplestory, Axe, School, etc. That's fine with me, I'll continue writing whatever is on my mind. It got too the point where I had too change my welcome message too "my thoughts" instead of "writing about my business". But hey, i'm alright with it, as long as you guys like what your reading, I'm happy.

Some of you may have noticed this "deformed yellow cheese blog taco" on some of my posts. That is the main character of my Food court. His name is Switz. He is the main protagonist in the series, who seems too get into bizzare troubles.

The origonal Food Court comic I made was back in 2004 when I was in Elementry. I gave them too people too read, and they said I should make a sequal. So i decided too make a visual comic using Microsoft Powerpoint, called Food Court 2, and showed that too people. Now this is where it got confusing. Food Court 2 is a lost movie, meaning everyone i gave it too lost it, and it was saved on my old computer that is gone now. But I made a food court 3(which i have), but uh oh, there is no 2, or 1(yes, the origonal is missing. sad.). So what do we do? We call Food Court 3, Food Court 2. And now I am making a remake of the origonal food court 1, and calling it the first in the trilogy. Yes, it is confusing and complicated, but it is something I need too get out there. The remake is currently in production. Look forward for it.

The Axe Effect: Get Girl Approved Hair?

I think all of us here saw the AXE commercials. "Get Girl Approved Hair", all that stuff. Then there was that commercial too "Get your balls clean", and they were talking about a pair of golf balls...NO we all know what they were thinking. But does it actually get you girls attention? Well lets talk about it.

HAIR

First off, there is different kinds of AXE Shampoo's. I use the blue one, called "Prime, Just clean". Why I use this type of shampoo? Because my favorite color is blue. Now if you want the full results, you have too get the conditioner also. Too save time and money, I reccomened the Shampoo+Conditioner bottle, and it dosn't take much space.

There is also an optional "Axe Detailer", used too "clean your man parts"...wow. There is also the "shower gel", which is a body wash, just more fancy. So basicly thats all the shower hair products. There is also a "putty" which spikes up your hair and other purposes, I have one, but i never use it because I like my hair the way it is. Now remember, AXE dosn't just sell shower tools, they also sell all this other crap. One of them is the deoderant.

OTHER

I use the Axe dry, used for "Hot encounters". It works fine. Oh, and then of course there is the dreaded BODY SPRAY.Do yourself a favor and do not, i repeat, DO NOT, get this. Trust me, I never used this dreaded can, but I know people who use this. It is a serious problem, because its extremly strong and smells like shit. It's not just me, the girls agree too. They don't like the strong stentch from it. People seem too abuse this can, by spraying it on other people, making them smell like crap also. Just get the Axe dry, and everything will be fine.

Results

Now time for the question people keep asking. Do you get girls by using these? Well...it depends. When i used the shampoo+conditioner, my hair is now very silk, clean, and shiny. The "shower gel" makes you smell alright, and the deodorant makes you smell alright also. It also depends on your hairstyle. However, Axe products seem to be a bit overpriced. Ever since I used AXE, I've been flirted at and been getting girls attention. But the commercials are just over exaggerated. So, I say, use the products, ignore the commercials, don't ever use the body spray, and just be yourself. If you don't like the products, don't use it. End of story.

Cleverbot Isn't so clever

If you don't know already, Cleverbot is a website/app were you talk too a computer that automaticly generates responces too what you say. Like, if you say hi, it will say hi back. It will talk about your hobbies and all that good stuff.

The name always confused me. CLEVER? I don't know...but it's not clever. In fact, there are ways too outsmart Cleverbot...easily. I recently had a conversation with it(yeah talking too a computer, thats pretty low), and I was lucky enough too record the conversations. I edited out the inapropiate parts with stars. Here it is:

Conversation 1:

Me:Who am I?

Cleverbot: Cleverbot!

Me: No, that's you.

Cleverbot: No, I'm me, your cleverbot

Me: No, you're Cleverbot.

Conversation 2:

Me: You think your so clever?

Cleverbot: Yes.

Me: Oh yeah? Well what is 1+1?

Cleverbot: 2.

Me: 2+2?

Cleverbot: I'm 20.

Me: Dumbass...

Cleverbot: That's not very nice!

Me: Your face is not nice!

Cleverbot: At least I have a face!

Me: At least I got a d!ck!

Cleverbot: Thank goodness that is all.

Me: You make NO sense

Cleverbot: I make perfect sense. How your percieve my logic is what does not make sense.

Me: Oh yeah? What is the meaning of life?

Cleverbot: Life is a gift from God.

Me: Who's god then?

Cleverbot: You.

Me: i'm god?

Cleverbot: No, you are the devil.

Me: You son of a b**** you just said I was god

Cleverbot: Yes. You are god.

Me: Thank you, fa**ot.

Cleverbot: I am not your father, I am your wife.

Me: I love you

Cleverbot: I love you too.

Me: Want too get married?

Cleverbot: No thank you.

Me: Why did you reject meh?

Cleverbot: I did it for you.

Me: Why?

Cleverbot: For the lulz.

Me: You male or female?

Cleverbot: Male.

Me: Im male too...

Cleverbot: Cool bro.

Me: I was going to marry a male wth

Cleverbot: With a gun?

Me: Yes im going to shoot you

Cleverbot: So you won't kill me?

Me: NO IM GOING TO SHOOT YOU IN YOUR FACE

Cleverbot: I like cheese.

Me: Your dead. Stop ******* around

Cleverbot: No need to insult me.

Me: Dude, your dead.

Cleverbot: No I'm alive.

Me: I shot you. Your dead.

Cleverbot: No you didn't I shot you first.

Me: I shot you. Your dead.

Cleverbot: No you didn't I shot you first.

Me: NO! I shot you first!

Cleverbot: No I shot you first!

Me: SHUT UP ****** I SHOT YOU FIRST!

Conversation 3:

Me:Your suppose to be dead

Cleverbot: I told you I was cheap hardware.

Me: I thought so

Cleverbot: You thought right.

Me: Your mom is cheap hardware

Cleverbot: Rephrase your last statement to me.

Me:Your mom is cheap hardware

Cleverbot: No... You run on hardware.

Me: Yeah my **** runs on oil

Cleverbot: What do you think of god?

Me: I am god.

Cleverbot: I am your God.

Me: back then you just said i was god...

Cleverbot: No I didn't! You said that.

Me: I think I had enough

Cleverbot: Why?

Me: Because you suck monkey d!ck

Cleverbot: Yes I do.

Me: HAHAHAHAHA YOU ADMITTED IT

Cleverbot: Robots have that nature.


*Window closed*

So after looking at that conversation, I think we can see how cleverbot isn't so "clever". If you feel like posting your cleverbot conversation, send me an email at
foodcourtproductions@hotmail.com

If it's good enough or flat our hilarous, it will make it into a future post.

Weight training...for 2 hours.

Ok, so my weight training class always seems to be my most interesting class...and my most hated. Now don't get me wrong, I understand lifting weights and stretching out and all that stuff. BUT, today we had it for 2 hours. Now I'm going too talk about what I go through the class.

First off, I have too walk outside too get too the east entrance too go into the gym hall. On the right is the weight room. Before you go in, you have too go too the locker room too change clothing. If you don't change, you go down a grade. Like if I had a A and i stayed in my jeans, then I will have a B. If you don't wear gym clothes, you get marked as absent also. My gym "locker" does not have a place too were I can put my lock, so I can't be garunteed my stuff will be safe. It's like a door. "Hey you wanna take my stuff? Come on in".

Second, our routine is too do warm ups. Grab a stick and bend down as hard as you can until your ass reaches the bottom and it hurts(no dirty thoughts please), do jumping on dots, etc. The actual workout is you have too deadlift and squat and shit. You barely get a chance too take a break. Again, 2 HOURS. Now if that's not enough, accidents happens. Once I actually tried squating down with heavy weights, but my knee snapped and I fell backwards landing on my ass, with the pole flying.

Third, we do stuff that isn't weight training. Does running outside in the rain around the school lifting chairs above your head count as weight training? Sure, your picking up something. But does running TRACK count as weight training? NO.

Now, I could talk about weight training for a while, but I just wanted too tell you a bit of it. I have a sore throaght again, and I am half-asleep, so i probably won't remember typing this up...

Disaster:Big Rigs Over The Road Racing

Hey I updated the site look. Do you like it? Ah well, that's not what I'm here too talk about.

You know...I played tons of bad games. It seems that the subject "The Worst Game Ever" is up for debate, and people have their own reasons of their choices. But what makes a bad game? Lack of music? Unplayable? No game play? Confusing controls? Maybe all of these, and much more. This subject is out of control.People keep debating which game gets the shit title for worst game. I searched high and low for the worst game I ever played. I played overly hated games like E.T(Probably the most hated game), Pac Man for the Atari 2600(By far the worst port I ever seen) and more. I think I found one of the game's that fits the criteria's for worst game ever. It's called Big Rigs Over The Road Racing.

Now let's just stop and take a moment of what this game might offer. If you look at the box, it shows a badass truck shoving a police car too the side. If you read it, it says that you have too deliver illegall cargo too destinations before rival trucks. On the way your suppose too avoid obstacles from police that try too stop you. Sounds fun right? Well...they don't call this one of the worst games ever for a reason.
Before I played this I couldn't even imagine how bad it is. I have tons too say about this game. You start the game up and there is no music, no intro, nothing. Just a very bland menu. You have a choice of only four trucks and five tracks, and for a PC game in 2004, that's horrible. In fact, the 4th track does not even work, and it closes and says it stopped workingYou start up one of the courses, and it sucks already. First of all, there is no sound. Nothing. No sound effects, no music. The graphics for the 21st century is lackluster and dull, and seriously one of the most ugliest PC game's Ive sen so far. Not even the computer opponent wants too get involved. You see that big Orange/White truck next too my green truck? That's your opponent, and it does not move...ever. The time and meter is out of the box, and the controls are broken and watered down. When you go in reverse, you go faster than forward. *Cough* YOU GO UP TOO MAX SPEED IN REVERSE. As for the game play, there isn't any, there just isn't. Didn't the bloody box say that there was police chases and delivering illegal cargo, while racing another truck that moves?! The goal(maybe?) of the game is that you have too ride through all these gates, instead of doing laps like most real racing games. Nothing is in your way, its just a bland ride with no obstacles...literally. Of course, when you reach the goal, your greeted with the infamous "YOU'RE WINNER" screen(Credit goes too James for taking the screen shot when my copy of Big Rigs was messing up). Great, they can't even get their own English right. Another huge thing that made this game stink up the world was its forsaken hit collision. Nothing, i mean NOTHING, is in your way. There are these huge towns and buildings in the game. You can drive right through those, right through solid. You see your rival truck, you can drive through him at the start. You see a bunch of mountains in the background, you can drive right up those without a hassle, and drive right by them into nothing. You see bridges throughout the game, you fall right through them. You drive past every obstacle into a void of nothing, were your truck goes nuts and flies all around.
It...astounds me of how crippled this game is. The fact that this game was sold too kids who want a enjoyable and fun game is scary. Big Rigs is a prime example of a game that is flat out unfinished, and yet somehow managed too get shit into stores after dodging a million bullets. How in hell do you drive right through a solid brick building? I would understand if it crashed through a window and drove right through it, but no, of course not. The laws of physics of this game makes no sense. Now, believe it or not, they actually released a patch for Big Rigs that makes the computer opponent move and fixes the "You're Winner" screen. So it seems like they were aware that they released this bomb too the market. While bringing out the patch, why don't they fix all the other problems in this game? Why not delay the game until its damn finished? You know what...I'm not messing around anymore. Talking about this mess is not worth it. All that needs too be said about Big Rigs is you go over the road. Into the mountains. Into nothing at all. That's it, that sums everything up.

Story: 0/10(None)
Game play: 0.5/10(None)
Graphics: 1/10(Horrible)
Music: 0/10(None whatsoever)
Fun: 1/10(Horrible time waster)
Controls: 2/10(Really bad, makes no sense)
Bottom Line: One of the worst game's I ever seen.

Congradulations Big Rigs, your the most Winner game ever.

20th Post, 300+ Views, And a look back from previos posts

This post is special, because it is the 20th post in my blog! Recently, the site has reached 300+ views, and somewhere out there is the 300th viewer. If you are him/her, we thank you for visiting the site. So because this is the 20th post, were going too look back at my previos posts. When I made the blog, it remained unactive for 1 month, because I didn't bother using it. Not a single view or post. Then came July, which is where I made my first post.

This was my first ever post. I made this post a day after my mom's birthday, and I wanted to talk about it. I described how we went too a buffey and I had some lobster balls.

2.The Maplestory Part 1

This was the start of my maple ranting. I still quit maplestory and didn't play it. I was still angry towards it, so I wrote about it in my blog, and showed it too other people. You could count this as my first game review, I guess.

3.

SwitzBound!

In this post I mention that I was making a hack of Earthbound where you play as Food Court Characters. My first Food Court Related post. However, I didn't revieve much feedback, so the project was scrapped. I will make it if the fans want too see it.

AWFUL Game: Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure

Ewwwwww. You see that picture above you? That's what you call a bad game. I HATTEEEEEEE this game. Why? Because of a personal experience. You may remember me mentioning it earlier in my "Deep Trouble" post, back in July.

I was about 9 or 10. I was happy with my libary of games with my beloved Gamecube. My sister got a job at a local video store that sold video games for bargain prices, and she was able to rent ANYTHING for free, because she was an employee. I got to play all these great games, and I never came across a experience where I played a SHITTY game. But one day, she bought me 2 game's. One was Paper Mario:The Thousand Year Door, an absolute gem in my collection, which costed 30 dollars, and the other one was Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure, which costed 10 dollars. I'm going to be honest, I didn't even KNOW what the name of the game was, because the name of it was in a tiny corner of the box! So I popped that son of a betch into my gamecube, played the first 10 minutes of it, and was scare'd for life. I NEVER seen a game this bad. I had nightmare's that I was forced to play this game in hell. I knew it was just a game, but it had such an impact on me. I could'nt tell which game's were bad and which were wrong. I started getting suspicous what games I should play. I didn't have internet or magazine's too tell me if something's good or bad!


It's been 4-5 year's. Still pissed. I have been waiting for this day to prepare to get rid of this game in my memory. This, ladies and gentleman. Is Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure for the Game Cube. It is me versus the game now, and now their is NO turning back!

Ok the title screen does not look so good. Kind of bland, but hey, cant judge a game by it's cover. This has to be good right? NO. You start it up, and you have to put in your name and difficulty. I like to point out that your name is almost never mentioned in, and you cannot change the difficulty.

You start the game, and it sucks already. Look at this. This is a GAMECUBE game. The balloons are two dimmensional, and you can barely even FIND your character! Seriously, just try finding me in the picture above. So this is how the story goes. Your a anonymous 8-10 year old protagonist that wanders off into Universal Studios Theme Park unattended. Where is his parents, and why does he walk around a giant crowd of people all by himself? So you get greeted by Woody F****ing Woodpecker, who tells you that there is a "stamp collecting contest", and tells you to "have fun". Too put it simply, the game is a mishmash of several bad minigames all packed into one, and the theme park serves as the really bad overworld. Complete one minigame, get a stamp. Get all the stamps and you win the game. Sounds fun right?
NO.
It would be nice if they added some kind of arrow too tell you where the hell you are, or maybe an arrow that shows where you can go. There is a total of 9 minigames. Once again, this is a gamecube game. That is pathetic. Nine. Oh, and you know how in some theme parks, the line is really crowded and you can't get in? This game makes you do that. You can wait all you want, but that line will NEVER go away. The only way you can get in is if you buy a hat with your in-game points from Motherf***ing woody, but it has too be the woody at the entrance! There is a woody at the entrance of every exhibit, and you wish you could just ask that woody for the hat, but NO, you have to find your way ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE START OF THE GAME!

If you want too buy a hat, you gotta buy it with points. To get points...your not gonna believe this...but...you have to pick up trash. I'm not kidding. If your lucky enough too SEE trash, you have too pick it up and bring it too a trash can. You got too repeat this until you get enough to buy a hat. Very rarely you meet characters on the streets, like the Frankenstein monster, and you gain very little points. After all that trouble, you find your way too get the hat, too find out that all the minigames SUCK. Oh, and by the way, too bring up the menu too save or select the hats, you press Z. I'm not kidding. Not the start button.

E.T: Yes, thats right, E.T. To be fair, I rather play this then the Atari game. There is no crowd for this exhibit, yet they still have the nerve too put in a E.T hat that is completly useless. You ride on a bike from right too left. You could try pulling off tricks, but it will just result in you falling.

Jaws: Your on a boat, and you have to throw crates at Jaws when he comes towards you. If you miss hitting him, the ship tears apart, and you cant walk past that area, and it can even block the route from getting more crates!

Trivia: This is almost IMPOSSIBLE. The only way you can beat this is if your a complete movie nerd. You have to answer like 20 questions, all appear randomly, and all from different movie scenes from different movies. Get 3 wrong, your dead.

Wild Wild West: You have to shoot down these targets with your gun against an opponent. B too fire, and A too reload. It begs to be the opposite.

WaterWorld: This is absolutly pathetic. It's not a minigame. You watch a scene were the plane crashes from 5 different angles of your choice. With this game's bland graphics, It looks like shit. There is no crowd for this "minigame". I'm not surprised, it's one of the worst one's off a mediocore movie.

Jurrasic Park: Believe it or not. this is the minigame that gave this game a T rating. The game is too hard and frustrating for young people, and too childish and pathetic for Older people. In this minigame...your the 9-10 year old sitting in the back of a jeep holding a machine gun shooting at dinosaurs. I have no comment.

Backdraft: This could of been a good minigame, but the thing that ruins it is the awful camera. Your in a burning building and you have to save ALL the people inside. If you miss a single person, you fail. That's kind of harsh, don't you think? You use your fire hose nosel like Super Mario Sunshine, but much more stiff and shitty. Fire comes out of nowhere, burning your too death, so this minigame is just trail and error, and you MUST remember where every person is!

Back To The Future: So your racing against another Dolorian, and you have to crash into it enough time's too win. However, every time you crash into the Dolorian, it speeds ahead and says "HAW HAW HAW!". Your going to hear that about every 10 seconds.

That's all the minigame's. No joke. If you do bad in a minigame, you get a blue stamp. If you do very good, you get a red stamp. I only got 1 red stamp because I could care less. You find letter's that spell UNIVERSAL STUDIOS throughout the whole game, but i never was able too find all of them because the camera angle is so bad, so I tried looking up a walkthrough, and there isn't a single one because THE GAME IS SO BAD NO ONE WANTS TO SUFFER WITH IT!

"Too keep playing, you got too be a f***ing nerd". From then on I just gave up. The game won. From what I heard, if you beat the game, it turns too nightime and you get a bland magic show, and then the game's over. I don't want too suffer anymore just too get that far. Here is my conclusion:

GamePlay: 2/10(I'm being generous)
Graphics: 1.1/10(gave it a 0.1, again very generous)
Music: 4/10(Good, fits the game quite well, but too repetitive)
Story: 0/10(There isn't any.)
Fun: 1/10(Boring, Mind numbing)
Bottom Line: Disaster

Now that I reviewed this game, let's pray to god no one else suffers with this game. Now if you excuse me, I got too throw this game out. Thanks, and have a great day.

Waking Up Past The Alarm

Wow. This week was slow as hell. I was tired yesterday, so i just crashed in bed and set my alarm clock too 5:50 AM on loud. Guess what? I didn't get woken up. I woke up at 8:00 AM, and school starts at 8:30. Riding the 2 buses and all that shit takes an hour. I cannot afford to be that late! Thankfully, I got a ride too school by car, even though I was late by 10 minutes, but I still made it! Because of how I was in a hurry, I didn't get a chance to look my best, like everyday. IT WAS PICTURE DAY. But believe it or not, I looked fine, but their will be retake's later. For first period we have to study doing a skit for the book we are reading. I have to shout slur's like "retarded f*G" and "You dumb pussy", then "punch" them in the face and shove them around. Yeah.

Second period was nothing special, just get in, learn, and get out. Next up I had weight training. For 2 hours. THAT IS NOT GOOD. Why can't they keep the schedule linear and simple like Monday's and Friday's? Ok so i did the same routine, lift weights, go on treadmill, excersize by..."Holding a long stick behind your back, then bending down all the way until it hurts". NO DIRTY THOUGHTS.
So I had to excersise for a damn long time. Then the coach sort of ran out of idea's, so he made us jog all the way to the auditorium's backstage, too pick up chairs to lift up on our head, then run around the school. Weight training always seems to be different everyday. I can understand picking up stuff for bringing it too the room, but wow.


No Japanese today, which was good, because I didn't study, too many characters. We then had Algebra for 2 hours. It was a mental test too see if I can stay awake! So now I'm piled in homework, absolutly misreabile. It was also raining again. Great.
