So I’ve decided a new approach on my blog posting. This is my new concept! Every time I post, I will answer the bold questions...but begin the blog with the most current gaming thing I’ve heard or seen or have done! Hope you like this new idea!
The Truth About The Console Heads!
Microsoft Sony and Nintendo
There seems to be alot of negative atmosphere concerning Sony's latest acusation against Microsoft. That and about sony's price of their system. Also with Nintendo's quiet nature, everyone seems to be pro Microsoft. Well here's the truth EVERYONE should listen to!
A couple months ago, Nintendo attacked Microsoft by saying they have the rights to technology microsoft was using, and they could take appart the system by suing if they wanted. Nintendo did this because Microsoft's ratings were going up and they felt threatened. Microsoft retaliated with a 'we own like half your system' speal and Nintendo, realizing they couldn't afford it, win, they backed off and decided it wasn't worth the hassle.
Lately there's been a lot of talk that Sony is not keeping their end of the bargain, mainly from Microsoft and microsoft fans. Feeling threatened, Sony tried to attack microsoft by saying that their system costs a lot more then they let on. Microsoft was outraged and attacked back, saying it was all a lie. Realizing they made a mistake, sony backed off and tried to fix their mistake.
What's this mean? Nintendo and Sony are threatened because Microsoft is so big, they can buy everything. A lot of game developers are making stuff for 360 only because there is more money involved. Hell, microsoft owns a few gaming corps already. With this rapid increase, microsoft is buying the market. Sony has a lot of money, but invested other places too. Nintendo doesn't have that much, only making systems and games. They are both threatened and afraid of Microsoft, everyone is. Microsoft is slowly owning the world.
With that said, Sony and Nintendo don't have to worry. There systems are good. As much as people bash them for their systems, they are good systems. Nintendo with their newest controller idea, backwards compatiblity, etc. Sony with their every format compatible, backwards compatibility, blu-ray, etc. They are both good systems and shouldn't really have to fear Microsoft. It'll be next console battle they should be worried about. With Microsoft's rapid increase, they are slowly becoming larger. They could threaten to own the whole gaming market which wouldn't be a good thing. Game developers would be out of jobs, systems would be too expensive, everything would crash.
Microsoft's 360 is good. No one has the right to cut up any of the three systems. The ones who do are fanboy's trying to pick at the corperations weak points. That's just sad. As someone who is going into this field, I feel that is not only fair but a direct attack to the games you claim you love SO much. If you love playing video games, don't insult the instruments that bring them to you. It's just...sad and low. pety crap.
Microsoft lies.
Nintendo lies.
Sony lies.
this is all stuff that isn't new and you should expect in the marketing world. Hey, it happens in politics too. I'm sure you will all rest easier if you just give up attacking the consoles and be happy with what you have or are getting.
I never liked the corperations all that much...it's corrupt. However, I do like the systems they make and the games they produce.
Another thing that's true, systems are expensive. Anyone remember when xbox and ps2 was released? Everyone freaked because it was soo expensive...but now look at everyone, you can't say a bad thing about it. PS2 and Xbox were amazing. I think it's funny that everyone's freaking out over the price...seeing how it's only about 150$ more then the previous systems.
Xbox = 300$ - Xbox360 = 400-500$.
GameCube = about 150$ - Wii = about 200-300$
PS2 = about 450$ - PS3 = about 500-650$
See a trend? Prices are increasing. We can't help that. This has to do with minimum wage increasing, taxes increasing, and our dollar increasing and becoming worth more. The day systems were only 80$ has loooong past my friends and it's time to realize, for consoles to make money, they have to charge more. Games are getting more expensive too. But with every price increase in the gaming world, there is a price drop. These prices will drop in a year or two. Games won't be 80$ anymore. It happens all the time. So if you can't afford it now, be content with what you have and get the next gen. the next year.
These are the facts. Try to live your lives better and give up on bashing the companies. It'll save you a lot of time, heartache and brain cells. Use those when playing video games XD
I'm done explaining the systems to everyone. If you don't get it now, I can see why I'm suited for this kind of thing. ^-^ I know what's going on.
My Love Life: So my boyfriend and mine’s four month ani is this Saturday (28th). I don’t really ‘celebrate’ monthly aniversaries and such..just I’d like to spend the day with him. It’s kind of ‘our’ day...like a holiday we only celebrate and book work off for XD (I also celebrate Winter-een-mas...if you don’t know what this is, check out ctrl alt del online!) He’s been planning something special for two months to do with me and told me last night. We are going horse back riding on Saturday! ^^ I’m so excited! It’s going to be awesome...
My School Life: So currently I’ve been swamped with yearbook work and getting pictures for it...I have due dates in my yearbook class for once! Lol. I’m also working on my portfolio for University/College. So much drawing and impressive computer stuff to doooo...I also have to finish coding my webpage...grr
My Console Life: So right now my beloved sony has been pissing me off with their words...but I still will purchase that system. I love the playstation too much...it brought me closer to the gaming world! Unfortunately I had to give up my preorder to someone else since I can’t afford my ps3 in November :( I’m hoping sometime after x-mas I can get it. That’s not too too bad...seeing how I have oodles amount of ps2 games to go through!
Current Game: That would be Valkyrie Profile 2. Highly addictive game! I’m starting to fear it may be too short...but meh. I really like the battle system and everything. S-E you’ve done it again! XD taken my money...oh well, it’s well worth the purchase! Trust me! It’s not a sequel, it’s a prequel, so go BUY IT! (I should be hired by S-E to advertise for them...)
Art Tip of the blog: Painting on the computer and painting in real life are two different things. (Duh!) When painting on the computer, you can’t really use techniques you use in paintings. (Frustrating for me I’ll tell ya!). Blending, colours, backgrounds, you have to change your style almost for the computer. I find the smudge tool and blend tool in ps cs work very nice in creating cool hair.
Gaming tip of the blog: In VP2, when fighting those big armored guys where you can only attack their front or back because their sides are protected by plates...attack those plates anyway! If you continually attack them, they’ll break off and give u rare items (not all the time). Do this with every enemy! Hack at it until there is nothing left to get bonus items! You’ll need them for certain skills later on!
Writing: I’m currently working on my CORE story. I really like it. I’m also starting up my fantasy story that I’m writing with my brother and his girlfriend as well. More details on those later.
Help still needed: I still need macromedia help...I’d also like to know if anyone knows if dell pc’s are compatible with any ram or hardrive peices or are they just compatible with their own? Dell won’t answer me! I don’t wana buy something and have it not work...
If you need help: I’m starting to become quite the computer expert here. I was able to bring back to life a 6 year old computer that crashed years ago...if you need help with your computer, I know some tricks to save you a lot of money :) I’m nice that way!
Game designer tips: If you are pursuing this career, here’s a bit of advice...learn java. Learn how to do coding in either java or c++ because that’s what you’ll be using. Math and physics don’t necessarily help you in this field. I suggest taking high school courses in java or self teaching. You’ll need it, trust me!
Current artwork: just finished drawing a couple picture of me and my boyfriend. I’ll keep u posted when it’s coloured!
EAA: Nothing new has arisen from this. We've been working on plot and RE4 rps XDXD
Anime: I've been watching Bleach, DNAngel, Orphen and Full Metal Alchemist lately.
Other: I just spent 200$ on clothes today...I’ve become such a girl while dating Andy. Oh well, they are nice clothes. I’m already hot, next generation hot (thanks for that Charlie), but I still like to make myself look hotter. Lol. If that’s possible ~_^ No I’m not full of myself...not at all. That’s okay, I never was before. Yey confidence in myself! I’m also streaking my hair crimson red again...blonde and red look soo neat together on me! I loved it last time, I’ll love it again! Strawberry blonde! XD
That's it. tata for now!
