First off, No special graphics or pictures as I couldn't even draw my self out of a box. No less find out how to make stuff in photoshop any time soon.
Kane and Lynch is one of those games you love to love yet can not fully tell peopel they should buy it or do you feel compelled to buy it unless on sell in a few years for another playthrough. If you have ever played a Hitman game noticably the latest one Blood Money you have a idea what the combat system is in this games as it uses a improve combat system from the hitman series.
Now first off if you like HEAT or Colliterial or any other Micheal Mann(spelling) Flims you need to go and pick this game up for a rental ASAP. The game's main story is that Kane is offered a deal by his old partner's he betrayed to get back all the money he stole in 3 days and this way only Kane will be killed and not his wife and daughter as well. From here you go on with the story of other character you love to hate.
The first main mission is you on a bank heist and a shootout with the cops and bank secuirty guns blazing as you leap into your get away van then have a shootout with cops on the highway that are chasing you as you try to evade them. This is only the tip of a great story full of your typical at the end of there rob criminals there is no pretty boys here girls. Only hardend criminals willing to shoot anyone who gets in there way.
The main flaw is the game ends rather shortly I would say maybe 6 hours and the multiplayer while a great concept of robbing a bank with others then having the abailty to betray your team mates. Feels tacked on and not worthy of to many hours of investment. The main conceren some think is the controls and the aiming which I find is more realsitic which may turn some people off of the game depending how arcurate you like.
From a small personal experaince of shooting my ex's 9mm pistol I could see how under stress, filled with anderaline drugs and being shot at. Firing a high powered rifle may need to require you a few clips full to accurately hit your target. Plus it seems from many i've heard of when you fire a gun the bullet lacks a direct path to the target but can be inches away from where you aimed.
The effect though is a great feeling of being in huge gunfights with cops empyting bullets and bullets out into a city. One scene has you moving car to car firing your gun out over a crowaded streets as your bullets take down kids adults cops or anyone who gets between you and the cops.
-----
Overall I would give the game a must rent title. It offers a blockbuster crime movie feel and devliers many fun and amazing amounts as well as a story that with two endings will either make you feel a,"Damned if you do, Damned if you don't" feeling.
Been awhile sense my last post,due to personal time restraints and apprently a mod who did not like the fact I said im deaf on one of the fourms.I think a good issue of one is a bit of social psychology or just sociology due to laziness,Mixed with objective reasoning and a bit of philosophical rejectivism,Im looking at you Kantism.
I think the word Sympathy and feeling of Sympathy stems from a place of being better off then others and feeling bad that your better. Now I can relate this to if you've read my previous blogs my somewhat off colored life i've held many will hear the stories I have to share. Their almost imeditate response is to give out Sympathy in the forms of words such as,"Im so sorry to hear that" or,"I wish I could beat X,Y and Z up" all the way to,"your stories make me cry thinking of it". Instead of making the person fell better about themselves it creates a sense of doubt.
Imagine if you were in a cave all your life and never took a step outside,Then one day you go outside into a town and the first people you tell your story repeat,"Im so sorry" you would be confused as you would have no idea why your life would have to be pityed. It creates a sense your life which you thought was good or even ok was really not with these words.
I think a main issue with Sympathy is that it allows a person a outlet to show emotions without really caring, People have Sympathy with the poor but few due anything about it. Alot also have issues with abuse of all levels as well as rape yet again few attempt to do much about it or try to make a differance instead of just a few choice words.
I have had this talk before and the answer I commonly get from higher educated,some would say people who think alot, Was that instead of Sympathy. As a society we should be looking out for Empathy, empathy allows us to feel the pain of others or relate to them and relaize that there life is different then others and rather then just choice words it will allows us to see what would be the best way to help. Maybe a person needs a hug, or food in their stomach, or maybe just to be left alone as its in the past for them. What ever the issue I think Empathy is something few people care to embrace these days.
-------------------------------
So without more ramblings, What is one issue you can relate to with Sympathy. Do you ever tell a story about a part of your life and get people saying how sorry they are. Do the responses ever make your happier or think what you did was shameful?, would you get mad if a person just nodded and said I could see the challenges in that and either exaimed the feelings abit,with questions, or just moved on.
Lets take a break from Gentics and go into Sociolgy or what appears to be social groups and there infulences.
I would first like to say Im sorry if anyone is offended by what im going to talk about below, If you are sensitive Im going to suggest stop reading as Nietzche himself would be proud of me I hope after this.
-------------
I think today was the first day I came to really maiming someone, But at the same time a little light bulb went off you see, It is amazing how just taking back and looking at all of society one can then see what makes it gears turn its clock.
So today we had to basicly go over and well review another students report on the social group they belong to,the people you hang around and trends you follow, Now I was reading this other girls who I guess people say is, "emo" im horriable at trend naming and always assumed people wearing black like my friends just like the clothing much to how I'll wear clothes more hip hop clothing at times even though im not part of it.
Oh how wrong was I, About half way through this girls report about how she has had a tough life because teachers are against her, how her parents refused to buy her a car, all the way to how way she is quote quote "emo" due to," People always pick on me, my boyfriend gets picked on for being gay and all people are mean to us for no reason my life is hell" Her words from what I can remember. Well maybe im over reacting but at this point I was starting to get mad, The part that really put me over is when she talks about cutting herself from the pain. This girl drives a car,a hand me down in her words, I could only dream of compared to mine.
Maybe it is irrational to have these feelings. But coming from someone who has it all compared to my past and history to hate and cut herself and want people to feel sorry for her makes me sick. I mean her life is perferction compared to mine of multiple rapes and abuse.I mean hell she cuts herself for fun I have cuts on my body I wish my dad never gave me and here she is giving them to herself to relive the pain bloody hell if her life has been pain then im dead and in hell.
I mean few things piss me off but if this is how these ,"emo", people really are I think i've fond a new one up there with, The churches who just tell me to accept and forgive what has happend in the name of some lord who has never been there. Worse is they tell me he is always watching over you. I think god must have a sick sense of taste and get pleasure from me then. Also people who give me sympathy like "aww im sorry to hear that"
Maybe im just so jaded what seems like big issues are so trivial to me its hard to belive someone would act like that over something I could only wish my life was.
-------
Everything said I think its good though in a way. I now know how many friends feel when others in a way steal and make there problems seem so minor. How my drugie friends can take offenseive to people who on tv pretending to be drugies in realilty shows. Or how people love cars can take offensive to how the illegal street racing movies are,"full of made up bs"
So has anyone else delt with these kind of issues where people have taken what you love or have lived through and made it trival, In trends or in movies or in the media?
Thinking...back now on my Anthropolgy notes from class. It mentions how every aninmal that is specilaized will one day cease to be.
For example: If there were no ants all the ant eaters would die sense they are only able to eat ants and nothing else.
This is humans greatest gift is we are so general we can live almost anywhere and can eat anything. Yet our most specailized trait is our brain. We are the smartest creature in the world and using this natural means the end of humans? If you think back only in the recent 60 years have we had the means to kill all the life on this planet.
Now after my decision to go into gentics and working on hopefully in 40-50 years opening up my labs to take a fetus and alter the future baby not only in looks but in health,intelligence, and body. In exchange for money from the wealthy people in the world. I know start to question if maybe this does have alot of backing behind it.
I mean, With me splicing up babies then i'll only be accerlating the problem of making humans even one step closer to death with new problems socailly. Which I could see leading to huge problems but luckly it will prolly be after my death so no worries to me. Plus I can only imagine the type of money people are willing to spend to insure there future babys will not have any illness's in there life.
But, How do you think Humans will kill themselves off as a speices?
Today a simple fourm post made me weep for humaintys future. Though I am glad I had conviced some people I hope so I thought i would repost my points and see if others agree or disagree out of my friends.
Post 1
So for you to feel good about yourself you have to kill something? Does that mean every movie needs violence then, Every poem or book needs to focus on dismemberment of bodies?
I think it is a scary world where in order to get some sort of pleasure one has to deal great acts of violence to get any reacation in there brain. Yet at the same time people cry foul at the girl who is nude in a picture or at the mere idea of having two people show love on the tv for all to see.
But on the other hand seeing two people kill each other and then devour each others flesh is much better for the world. Imagine a world where people think humans are beautiful and people to be encouraged to reproudce I shudder at this thought.
So I say we need more violence. Humans are bodies of meat meant to be slaughtered and feasted upon by others not for showing love to.

The scary thing is if you research this you see a ton in the pyschology department suggesting in 10 years violence against women will be double then what is now in the states. As it is allready double of what it was a couple decades back. Womens abuse shelters are litteraly overfilled in most cities.
Were my main points. I would love to see what everyone else feels about our media being ok with tons of violence but nudity is where they draw the line.
So today is prolly one of the worser of my days in life. Mostly because if i was still with my ex it would have been our 4th even though it is has been like 6 months im still not over him yet.Which sucks so much really more so on today then anything else. Not to mention I had got some odd virus today as well but figures it would be today i would get it meh. I mean even after all that he has done cheated on me, Showed my pictures to all his friends who with them showing others half my old town knows what i look like naked. I still love the guy.Maybe it was because he was my first real guy i loved I mean my first was speciail but was short where this was the first time I felt invested in someone.
What makes it worse is all my friends say im better off without him.Though it is like I feel is the main reason why im glad im going to therpy is overall this issue. Its hard to really like some men due to them being so nice or welcoming which is crazy sense that is what most women I think want. Instead i seem to be attracted to the bad guys who i know will only disapoint. I know some say it is because being raped alot as a child. Or many other things that were horriable that happend being cut on or the cigerate burns. I still hope that in one year time that this day wont brother or maybe luckly i wont remember it so much
Anyways hopefully im not to alone I hope in still being in love with a bad guy else have any ideas or if they have gone through something similar how they got over the person. Cause even today I still can not get over him much worst today then other days that go by. OR if they find them selves drawn to bad guys as well or knew some one who was. Just any advice is great.Feels good just to get this all out some place even some random game site.
P.S Used bad guys cause my oringal word was censored =(
