My Name Is Spreading ;)

[Current Condition: Semi-Famous]

Alright, so I know I usually don't blog here as often as I should, but I did want to fill in those people that are tracking me about what I have been up to. I've been extremely busy with modeling/acting as well as DJ'ing. While I'm on the topic of dj'ing, I wanted to let you guys know over some time I was nominated for a 'Techno Album Award' through Just Plain Folks 2009. It's cool that I won :D (DJ MYTH: Static Effect). Now they are playing my song - "Here It Comes Again" at some radio stations across the country, and my CD is being sold in select stores as well as the internet :D

As far as modeling/acting goes, I got an e-mail from the editor of 'Glamour Magazine'. He's apparently interested in using some of my pictures for their magazine. That's pretty cool, but I don't know if it's a scam or not. Maybe I should look more into it, and if it gives me any hints of foul play I'll go elsewhere. I'm happy how my life is going as of now.

OH! I remember pakhair wanted to see some modeling pics, so I'll post some of them up in my Images section. Thanks guys for tracking me :D

I'm Back!

[Current Condition: Suffering from Insomnia]

LOL! I don't think I EVER devoted so much time to videogames, but I gotta say that I love doing it. It's so much fun. I have definetly seen some stuff that I want to invest in. I will go into details on that, at a later time. Right now, I just want to fill you in on what i've been doing.

So, I FINALLY got my damn modeling pictures. I am highly impressed with them! I might just put a couple of them up in the images part of my profile. Aside from that, I was in a play that lasted for about 10 days. I have to say that the experience was wonderful. I worked with some amazing people, and the feedback of my performance was incredible. Since my theater performance, I've been working closely with my talent agent. He's a great guy. He's been working real hard to get my name and face out there. One thing he suggested is that I work out :( I hate working out though, but I have started to work out. It's hard to keep it consistent though. Have to train my brain and body.

I landed a graphic design job which is really fun. My first day was really frustrating though. Keep asking me to change the project. I don't know why they just didn't tell me all they wanted before I started the project. Oh well.

I submitted my proposal and artwork to a couple of game studios. I got a call back from Cryptic Studios so I might talk to them a bit more, but I'm not a fan of their games too much (City of Heros)

My View of ONLIVE

Alright, I just got done watching the ON THE SPOT video coverage of ONLIVE @ GDC '09. I must say that I'm not feeling this. I don't like it at all. I feel as though the consoles will become obsolete if this becomes successful. While I do hate fanboys and I don't like the whole "console wars" thing going on, I feel as though this is what keeps the adrenaline, and the people buying games. I love going into the Gamestop and looking at the titles on the shelf. America is already called the fattest country. I think people should GET OUT MORE! This thing is just gonna make people turn into hermits.

Another thing to consider is that the presenters didn't mention price at all. They completely dodged it; so OBVIOUSLY this is a high-priced piece of hardware. I think they said something about a monthly subscription of $20 if you think about it, wouldn't a console be a bit cheaper? There are a lot of unanswered questions in which they were dodging, and I think that this kinda leaves SONY, MICROSOFT, NINTENDO, NVIDIA, ATI, AND ETC. scared as hell. I don't wish this product success because this is a bad change, and could lead to more economic problems (ie. th downfall of gaming retail stores)

My Experiences with Infinite Undiscovery

Well, let me first say that I am a big fan of whatever Square-Enix does, and Inifinite Undiscovery doesn't make me steer away from them. Inifinite Undiscovery is fun in it's own frustrating way. It takes you quite a long time to finish this game if you don't know where the hell you're going (which is most of the time in this game).

The storyline to this game is quite confusing at least. From what I have picked up so far is that you play a flute player named Capell who get's mistaken for a guy named Sigmund The Liberator, and you placed in jail, but later rescued by a girl named Aya who is one of Sigmund's followers. You go on a journey to destroy the chains that bind the moon along with Sigmund and his crew. You begin to acquire a plethora of different characters which makes for an interesting time, when you see all of those characters on screen at the same time.

That is also where Infinite Undiscovery kinda messes up too. The Battle System...The Battle System isn't THAT bad, but it's also not all that good either. You control Capell in battle while your party members kinda go off of how you set their stats and moveset. They are pretty smart, so this shouldn't be an issue. What DOES become an issue is blocking. You can't block to save your life in this game. Well you can "parry" but you have to have PERFECT timing, and that isn't even worth mentioning in this game.

Overall the moves that are performed are pretty nice. I haven't seen anything super flashy as of yet, but I haven't completed the game either so I won't know until I complete it.

MY ULTIMATE ISSUE: NAVIGATION

OMG! The navigation and map in this game is just ABYSMAL!!! They tell you where you should be going but there isn't a great deal of clues to let you know how to get there, and it takes forever to get to the destination as well. I was expecting a vehicle or mobile animal of some sort (later you can ride that bear), but even with that, you spend most of your time, searching the whole map for your destination. If you cut the game off, the next day you'll probably be wondering, okay WTF was I doing? because I go through this often. I wish navigation and the maps could of been better. Hopefully a sequel will make it's way to the 360, and these issues will go addressed.

This game is fun though, don't get me wrong, just some minor issues. get it if you don't get frustrated easy and have a lot of time on your hands, but if you're looking for a good rpg, get TALES OF VESPERIA

Temporary *New Poem*

Oh how I wish love was temporary, at least then I wouldn't have to hurt so much internally.
Intentionally, I sent you on another blind mission.
A mission of love and lust.
Something that didn't help us out too much.

Our love would be temporary instead of something that last for an infinite amount of time.
Oh how sweet would be thy nectar, if only our hearts were intertwined.

To leave space open for an eternal love partner would be the epitome of all of what love stands for.
Well, considering I don't know much about love, I can't say if an eternal love partner is what love really stands for.

For all I know, that could be temporary.

I know you wonder why someone who claims to know nothing about love, writes so much about it.
Well, honestly, I rely on my fantasies...
but when I rely on my fantasies, it alters my reality, and then I question my sanity.
My insanity makes my love....temporary
