oh how time marches on.......I'm 19 now :(

Feels like yesterday I was sitting down in front of a disstorted TV playing my NES games until my eyes bled.

The thought of getting older kinda scares me, frankly I dont wanna get older. I wanna stay young, play games and mooch off my parents while it lasts.

I've lost some real good friends afther we graduated from high school.......some went to college, some are working far away, some seem to just dissapear. But at least some of them are still just haning around like still deciding what to do with their life while earning minimum wage, like me :)

oh well, I still gots my memories of the laughter and gaming get-togethers. I better laugh, game, cherish, and spoil whatever time I have left.......because next year I'm 20...........:cry:

(my birthday was actualy Easter Sunday, but I could'nt make a new blog since I was on a 7-day suspension, damn the new Gamespot mods!, sensitive pansies!!)

Pokemon Formula still works!? WTF!?!?

We all remember, Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue the two Gamboy games by Nintendo and Gamefreak that lead a multi-billion dollar corperation. Manga, Anime, Toys, Clothes, Trading Cards, etc. Pokemon dominated in what ever they slapped their name on. Mostly everybody memorized all 151  Pokemon, and how could you not with each one has a cool/cute personality. For a while I was a HUGE Pokemon fan, as were me and my friends; we battled, traded and even joined local Pokemon tournaments. I was hooked!!............but it didnt last long.

Soon enough like every other 14-year-old, I was bored at what we spend so much time and work on to. Pokemon is now dead to me.

Pokemon Silver and Pokemon Gold was released on the Gameboy Color.......I could not care less........I grew up with Charmander, Pigeot, Mewtwo.......all these new pokemon look seriously looked retarded to me.

Soon I was just hoping pokemon would die....it didnt seem it would go anywhere.......like a wounded dog or something.

Recently I was really in a mood for a good GBA game, something that would keep me occupied to pass the time while waiting for E3. A friend let me borrow a game.

Pokemon Emerald........oh.....my....god. This game is great the pokemon are cool, the graphics are crazy! and its extreamly addicting! This game has what Pokemon Red/Blue had a sold RPG that keeps you wanting more. I haved this game since Monday and I already clocked in 25 hours. Now with over 386 pokemon, I'm be pretty busy all year me thinks.

I never thought I would ever play another Pokemon game again....

I recommend this game to anybody who has ever liked pokemon and to those who dont.

It just keeps growing.......

Well I have two new DS games, wich are of course Metroid Prime: Hunters and Tetris DS. :D

Laid out like that, it doesnt look like I have much, hmmm.......now that I think about it I still need Phoenix Wright, Trauma Center, Eyeshield 21, aaaaaaand....well let me know if I'm missing anything important :)

Thank you Mr. Gumpei Yokoi

Let us take a moment to thank Mr. Gumpei Yokoi, wherever he is.  Mr. Yokoi, the creator of Metroid, the Game & Watch, and the GameBoy.  We can safely say handheld gaming owns a lot to him, including the Nintendo DS.  Let us take a moment to remember this great man, his ideas and visions, his successes and failures.  Let us thank him and remember that without him, we wouldn't be talking about Metroid Prime Hunters or the Nintendo DS Lite.  Thank you, Mr. Yokoi. 

Read this for your own good.

FAITH? To the nomadic tribes everywhere, the very ones the world looks down upon: atheists, punks, skins, artists, musicians, poets, misfits, unwanted, the suicidal, even the mental. God has a plan for you; it's a very personal plan, one between you and Him. The very worldly system you despise and hate, with all its bigotry, violence, and greed, its corruption, lies and hypocrisy; that is the same system you have allowed to form your opinion about God. THE WORLD'S PROPAGANDA about God's son, Jesus, is false. It's God who loves you, it's God who send his only Son to die for all your sins, and if you believe that very fact, it will be God who will recieve you into Heaven. Yes! There is heaven; there is life after death. Don't die without Christ as your Savior. Don't allow this worldly system to continue forming your opinion about God. If you really want to know the truth, ask God. Simply say this, "God if You are real, reveal Yourself to me, show me who You are." Jesus was the nicest person ever to step foot on thie planet! The only people He ever raised his voice against were the self righteous, religious hypocrites. He did it for you, so that you would know truth, and that very truth would set you free.
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." Proverbs31:8&9

I finally did it!

I figured out how to make a blog post! the previous posts were made before the whole Gamespot change. Now if only I hade something good to talk about.

Oh and I got new shoes! If my digital camera worked I would put up photos.

Thanx for taking the time to read my blog! :D -Edgar

Lord of War

Lions Gate Films' Lord of War

This movie rocks…….Its an outstanding performance by Nicolas Cage ever. He signed sealed and delivered in this movie. Get out National Treasure, the Rock…..Here comes LORD OF WAR Wanna Read More????????
At times the film that Paul Brickman's brilliant screenplay for Deal of the Century promised, Aussie futurist Andrew Niccol crafts with Lord of War a sometimes transcendent, sometimes finger-wagging fable about a ridiculously successful gunrunner, Yuri (Nicolas Cage), prowling the hot spots of the Third World like a vampire in trenchcoat and shades. (I'm not convinced it wasn't the effect Niccol was going for, what with the obvious connection between spreading pestilence and feeding on death--and, of course, what with Cage's best role arguably being the quasi-vampire in Vampire's Kiss.) Without much of a narrative, even subplots concerning Yuri's mad, druggie brother Vitaly (Jared Leto) and model wife Ava (Bridget Moynahan) seem like way-stations along a dotted line. Too often, the picture lives and dies on its ability to keep the pace fluid--but just that need for momentum suggests something amiss at the heart of the piece, a certain surface tension that would pop should the rock-star protagonist we envy ever collide against the satire of the kind of colossal moral vacuity required of his vocation. It's the embedded problem of what Hitchcock observed as a character we like because he does his job well: what if that job is essentially reprehensible and, moreover, what if the ultimate desire of the film is that we experience righteous repugnance?

Another rebuke of slipshod foreign policies based on capitalism and empire-building on the backs of desperate African nations, Lord of War joins films from this year like The Constant Gardener and The Interpreter. (Although it's better than both, resisting as it does the urge to make a romance its core and its politics a MacGuffin, it's crippled all the same by this desire to be admired.) I think of Niccol as a romantic, a throwback to the era of classic science-fiction where the limitless possibilities of Man were the subject, not, as is the case with so much modern science-fiction, his limitations. The tragedies used to be of Icarean ambition rather than of Oedipal introspection, and so while Lord of War, at least on the surface, appears to be the story of the rise and fall of king capitalist draped in his slick amorality, it decides by the end to be a solipsistic detective story: Oedipus solving the riddle of the king's murder to find that it's all of us. It's a point-of-view that feels especially naïve given the lengths to which Niccol goes to make Lord of War a scathing indictment of the way men rationalize away the evisceration of their better selves in the pursuit of trophy wives, Hyde Park penthouses, and borrowed ethnic identity.

Bridget Moynahan in Lions Gate Films' Lord of War

The best scene involves a stripping of a downed cargo plane filmed in the kind of time-lapse generally reserved for beetles stripping a cadaver. It's fascinating for the hint of the biomechanical in its execution--a visual commentary (if only the film were free of omnipresent narration) on the essential, non-intelligent design of desperation and the insidious proliferation of ideology and technology that bespeaks an eloquence of which the rest of the picture's ham-hands prove incapable. Niccol is a very fine visual filmmaker, but he distrusts this strength, relying instead on over-scripting of the "in case you didn't catch it" variety. Case in point: the exchanges between world-weary, snake-oil sleazy Yuri and straight-arrow fed Valentine (Ethan Hawke), which, in their carefully-manufactured, infantile manner, are cozy in the way that adolescent exchanges between authority figures and rebels tend to be. The issue of the essential folly of industrialized nations supplying insurgencies deserves a more critical look (where, for instance, did the Iraqi insurgency get their weaponry? Where, for another instance, did the Japanese get the steel with which to bomb Pearl Harbor?). As it is, Yuri is less an antihero than just a hero, and the picture is less a cautionary satire than another warning come too little, too late. Lord of War is a trippy, high-budget public service announcement shot like a luxury car commercial and narrated by an A-lister with a liberal agenda but not enough artistic integrity to portray a person he despises as genuinely despicable. The problem isn't that it's controversial, but that it isn't controversial at all; pity that Lord of War is actually a pretty fair representation of the current state of America's Democratic platform
