Give me a theme I give you poetry

Yes, that's what the title reads! Give me a theme or just a word and you'll have a poem about it in some days. But please, only one theme per person either way it'll come out only next year :lol:

On the gaming side, I've been training my football skills on Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 'cause today there's going to be a kind of championship here. I called some friends over and we're gonna play, eat some things and drink Pepsi on this beautiful cold and rainy day. I really suck at football, be it on real life or in video games, so wish me luck.

I've also gone back to Bully, I'm on that chapter that is snowing and most missions are related to the greasers. I've done some missions but it's cooler to roam around and beat jocks and greasers, mainly the jocks, I hate those dudes. I've already beaten Bully twice, but it's so awesome that I'm beating it again. I'll probably write a review on it some day. And I played some Pokemon Diamond too, resumed my Drapion's training... She's around Lv. 85 now! Her moveset and IVs are all ready so I just need to take her to lv. 100 and she'll be ready to join my team.

And remember I said I needed to go back to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? Yeah, I kinda resumed it again, I'm on page 144! Yay!

So, that's it. The blog with the poems about your suggestions will come out in about a week.

See you guys and girls on your blogs and take care, have a nice weekend, a nice Xmas, a nice life :D

Answers

Before the answers, just wanted to let you know that I dreamed that met Johnny Depp in a supermarket :lol: I asked for a pic with him but he said nay, but he did gave me an autograph :P

Wow, tons of letters and gigabytes of emails with questions, some really interesting :lol: ... So, let's go, to the answers. Ctrl+F your nick and then click next until you find the answer(s) for your question(s).

Jays_Game
Q: What's your favourite gaming genre?
A: This is a really tough question. I'd say platformer, both 2D or 3D. That would put together most Mario games and Crash Bandicoot as well as other minor platformers.

reo-117
Q: What's the weirdest dream you've ever had?
A: I couldn't tell the weirdest one, but I had some remarkable ones. In one of those I was sitting in the kitchen when a Vulpix (Pokémon) jumped out a dashboard to me and I could feel its fur. In another I'd be walking on a street and always get knifed by a guy at a bus stop and I'd do that a lot of times. There are some other ones that are a little inappropriate :lol:

Q: If you could have 3 wishes, what would they be?
A: I'd wish that everyone had compassion for their next. With that there would be no violence, no war, no hunger, no sorrow. I'd also wish that all the bad things humanity has been doing to the nature were undone. For the third, I guess I'd just ask something silly for myself 'cause I have no idea right now.

Q: Favourite game?
A: This answer depends on a lot of things... The technical qualities of the game, how I like the franchise, my memories from the time that I played it... This is one of the hardest questions to answer... Today I'd say it's Counter-Strike for all the good moments with my friends.

Q: Do you think Rio de Janeiro would be the place were the Olympics are held?
A: From my point of view, Brazil has a lot of improvement to do before hosting such a big event like that. However, if there were a significant profit with that and that profit were going to be used to improve the country and help poor people, I'd say it is. But since I know it's not like that, no, Brazil shouldn't hold any event like that before becoming a better country.

thomassmash
Q: If you had to kill someone, who would it be?
A: I'd never kill anyone. If for some weird magic reason I had to, I guess I'd kill myself.

tennis12master
Q: What compelled you to have your profile named as slipknoob?
A: When I started playing Counter-Strike with my friends I really sucked at that and I was a lot into SlipKnoT, so I made SlipKnooB my main nick for about any game. Even in the ones that I'm kinda good, so my opponent will think I'm bad but then they'll have a surprise :P

LuigiRulze
Q: Did you like the E3 this year?
A: Well, the only conference that matters for me was the Nintendo's, since I own a Wii and a DS. I know that Sony's and Microsoft's were pretty good, though. Well, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2 looks really cool, but that accessory to put your finger in (Wii) looked stupid, but let's wait and see how that's gonna be.

Nikki-No-Credit
Q: If you could have any super power, what super power would you have???
A: I'd like to have the power of levitation, and to be invisible... I'd also like to control time and space, mainly time... But if I could chose only one, it'd be levitation (to fly).

Dudersaper
Q: What is your favourite band? Do you have all there albums?
A: I thought you had seen my Top10: Bands blog :P Anyway, my favourite band is System of a Down and no, I have only one out of their six albums, Toxicity.

msudude211
Q: What's your favourite game of all time?
A: This answer depends on a lot of things... The technical qualities of the game, how I like the franchise, my memories from the time that I played it... This is one of the hardest questions to answer... Today I'd say it's Counter-Strike for all the good moments with my friends.


theslimdavylp
Q: Do you live in Brazil? Have you ever been to the City of God?
A: Yes, I was born and live in Brazil. Never been there, thankfully :)


nsoliveira
Q: Have you ever been in "favelas"?
A: Close, but never really inside one.


Q: Do you like the fact that Brazil is number 1 in Beach Soccer?
A: Well, I'm not much into sports, but I guess being number 1 is cool :P


Q: What do you think of the Brazilian President Lula da Silva?
A: Brazil has improved a lot since he took control of the country 7 years ago or so. Although, there's space for a lot of improvement inside the own government.

Q: Ever saw a Brazilian dub of animes and what are your opinions about the dub if you saw other versions?
A: Yeah, I have. Some are good, like Dragon Ball series, but for example, Naruto in Portuguese is lame... And so is in English... I think animes were made to be watched in Japanese with subtitles.

Q: Why is there on Youtube a war between Portuguese and Brazilians due to the fact that people confuse a lot the Portuguese of Portugal and the Portuguese of Brazil?
A: I really didn't know about this "war". In any case, the whole world should use English :P


gormo4
Q: Are you religious?

A: Yes, I'm Spiritist. That means I believe in God, in Jesus and in reincarnation. I don't wanna explain much about it, but I hate Evangelicalism and Catholicism, some of the most fake religions ever. Didn't mean to offend anyone, but for me, Spiritism makes only sense and have answered cleverly any question I ever had about life, death, justice, what's right and wrong, etc. But I'm not that kind of fanatic or anything like that, I just follow the principles and go to weekly meetings with people of my age.

Q: Don't you agree Chinatown Wars was an awesome game?!
A: Indeed. It is an extremely good game, although it's free roaming isn't as fun as in the other ports of GTA. But yeah, it's an awesome game.


ebbderelict
Q: What's your favourite thing to do outside of gaming or gaming related activities?

A: I love surfing on the net and meeting new people on social networks, like here :)

Q: What's your biggest pet peeves about the forums here?
A: I don't use GameSpot forums, but in any other forum, the source of annoying things is people's stupidity and disrespect to the others.


nintendoecx
Q: What's your favourite movie?

A: The Pirates of the Caribbean movies, don't know which one 'cause I see them all as one.

Q: Favourite game?
A: This answer depends on a lot of things... The technical qualities of the game, how I like the franchise, my memories from the time that I played it... This is one of the hardest questions to answer... Today I'd say it's Counter-Strike for all the good moments with my friends.


Mr_Pepworth
Q: What are all the digits for Pi?
A: 3,14576897423514966669 :lol:


macrules_640
Q: How did you come up with your username?

A: When I started playing Counter-Strike with my friends I really sucked at that and I was a lot into SlipKnoT, so I made SlipKnooB my main nick for about any game. Even in the ones that I'm good, so my opponent will think I'm bad but then they'll have a surprise :P


lazyhoboguy
Q: What is that freaky looking thing in your avatar?

A: A lovely character from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.


Aidan129
Q: What is your favorite thing about me?

A: Given the situation, I'd better not say :x

Q: What is your favorite game console?
A: If you're talking about innovation, I'd say it's the Nintendo DS. But just in overall and games, I guess it's the PS2.


stitch069917
Q: Do you have any pets?

A: Yeah, I have two mixed breeds dogs, a hamster-like thing and a bird, though I give attention only to the dogs :P I had other pets like other two birds, another hamster-like creature and a small turtle, but they all died.


Colmillios
Q: If you could take 3 things with you to a desert island what would you take?

A: A huge bag of food, an assault rifle with a handful of ammo (for protection, of course) and a foxy lady :D

Q: Have you ever wanted to make your own video game series? If so what would it be?
A: Yeah, my imagination is awesomely crazy and I had a lot of ideas that I consider to be good but I don't know how to take those to people who can actually use them. One of them would be of a boy that met seven girls on the net and became really friends of them, but they live far from him. Then, when he turns 18 he finds out through a dream that if he doesn't meet them personally he will die, so he goes on an adventure over the land to meet them but there are some evil beings that don't want that to happen 'cause this boy is the one who holds the power to eliminate all the evil from Earth so they want him dead. It'd be an action/adventure/RPG game and on his way he'd help people and the more people he helps, stronger he'd get 'cause there would be spiritual beings that would follow him and he could use them as weapons. I don't remember very well, so part of it I just made up :lol:

Q: If you could hit one Naruto character who would be it and why??
A: Hum... Probably someone who's already dead. I mean, they're ninjas, they'd fight back :P

Q: Describe me in 3 words.
A: Not a question. Saw it? Three words! :D Well, three words is too little... "Reads and cares". Now try to understand what I meant :lol:


megamannt123
Q: Favourite anime or favourite game series?

A: Favourite anime... Well, right now it'd be Naruto, but in overall, Dragon Ball Z would be my favourite anime. But if the question was "best anime" I'd surely answer Death Note. My favourite game series is Pokémon, no doubt.


Papitar
Q: What place would you like to visit the most?

A: Well, there are some countries that I'd like to visit like England, Japan, the USA, Netherlands and some others, but for your question, I'd say London.

dan_scfc
Q: Your favourite multiplayer game?

A: To play with friends, Counter-Strike. To play with random people, Mario Kart Wii.


Jak-25
Q: How is the weather where you live? What is your favorite color?

A: The Brazilian weather varies from region to region. Here in the coast of São Paulo, the air is usually moist and usually it rains at least once or twice a week. The temperature is usually between 20 °C and 32° C. The recent maximum reached 38 °C and the minimum was something around 10 °C. My favourite colour are the blues... Greyish blue to be more accurate.

The next blog will have your participation as well so stay tuned :) See you guys on your blogs and maybe in some union :P

Give me a question I give you an answer

Hey guys and girls, hope you're all doing fine. I'm working on some Top10 blogs here so I had this original idea. Some people like tennis12master and macrules_640 did blogs like this. You simply ask something about me, my life, my opinion about something or just a general question about Brazil if you have the curiosity and I'll answer in the next blog.

Today I'm going to see Harry Potter, it looks very cool (I've read the book already) and that's it, I just wanna keep you entertained while I'm preparing some Top10 blogs :)

Take care and have a good weekend.

SlipKnooB's Troublesome Day

Hey, Thursday (AKA yesterday :lol: ) was one of the most troublesome days I can remember.

-Went by car to a commercial neighbourhood to take my cellphone to a tech. assistance;

-It had already been fixed by them some time ago, seems like it was something with the keyboard but after some minutes the only button working would be the power one. Who cares? Turning on/off and declining calls is what a real phone is about;

-We got there and got our number to be attended, there were 20 numbers before us;

-Since I had taken money for two games I went out to browse game stores while my mum waited in the tech. assistance. I was looking for Persona 4 but didn't find it anywhere. I also wanted The Conduit and Call of Duty World at War for the Wii, but after waiting minutes and minutes (spent about half an hour browsing and waiting) I had it and went back to the tech. assistance, time wasted and no game in hand;

-Some ad dude pops in front of me on the way and starts "Hey buddy can I talk to you for a minute, no compromi..." and I was already like "Uh... No" and walked away;

-Got in the damn place, my mum was being attended. The shop lady said that she gave my phone to the tech. and we should wait for a couple minutes. How many? "30, 40 will do *happy face*";

-Went to a lot of stores with my mum looking for a gift to my uncle. On the way, in the middle of the crowd some huge round man looks to me smiling and says "you play basketball". And I replied dry to take that stupid smile outta the meat ball's face "no". I'm used to random people saying that I should play basketball, but that is really annoying, I guess I'll start using the comebacks I always had in mind;

-After going to some stores we went to a café and had coffee and a little something to eat;

-Then we went back to the stupid tech. assistance. Waited for a couple minutes (didn't get any number, though) and I got my cell. It was seemingly working fine;

-We walked to an avenue where the car was parked some blocks from there. The car wasn't there anymore;

-Some traffic guard lady was standing next to where the car was supposed to be, as I had joked with my mum when we didn't see the car, it was towed :lol:

-After a chit chat with the lady we learnt that we couldn't stop there after 5 p.m.. Blame my mum for not having noticed the sign or the tech. assistance for taking so long?

-I hugged my crying mother and walked to a bus stop on the beach avenue, some blocks from there;

-We got in a bus and it was full, we stood up for some time until there were seats;

-Lucky us that the seats were in the back of the bus, 'cause next to the driver was some crazy man talking to people who didn't want to listen to him. He repeated a couple times "what matters is to be important without being important", whatever he meant by that;

-Next to where you can get a ferry-boat, the traffic was stopped... Soon some traffic company car appeared and closed the whole avenue to the cars that were going for the ferry-boat. So the bus took another way and we got home in some minutes;

-My mum ringed my dad (they're divorced) to ask him to take her to the place where she must go to take all the paper and pay around 110 dollars plus something she hadn't payed related to the car. Then she learnt that my dad's car was towed as well! :lol: It's not his, in fact it's the company works for's. A helluva coincidence, uh?

-Playing with my phone I realized the sound isn't working and so isn't the vibration. What a fix, uh? I'm gonna take this damn thing to that store and if they don't fix it right this time, I'm gonna burn that sh!t down;

-And I found out the "tech." is some Japanese dude of around 17, he made a test video with my phone and forgot to delete;

-Sorry for sharing all this sh!t with you guys :P

A short blog

Today I subscribed to Last.fm's paid service and now I can listen to my favourite tracks, recommended songs, bands that are similar to my taste and all that stuff that used to be free plus some other features. I guess $3 a month is not that much for it, since I like discovering new music without having to look for it :P

On the gaming side I've officially put Zelda Twilight Princess to the side for now. I'm trying to get that second Sol in the Temple of Twilight or something but that hand is frustrating my plans. Now I'm playing Mario Kart Wii, mainly online. I managed to get a second star in my name (already had one) and I've been facing some really tough racers, including a three-star Japanese one who was just hardcore! But I'd like to play with someone I know! :cry:

Oh, and also, if any of you guys have any suggestion on theme to the next Top10, just let me know ;)

That's it for now, take care :)

Top10: Bands (5th to 1st)

Before resuming the Top10, I'd like to say that I got World of Goo soundtrack (it's available for free at Kyle Gabler's portfolio - the composer of the tracks -, just google it if you're interested) and I'm enjoying it, all the tracks are great.


5th: Mindless Self Indulgence

MSI

They aren't so famous and they call their music "industrial jungle pu$y punk". The first time I listened to them was watching an Akatsuki fan video (or AMV, I think that's how they call it) and I wanted more songs by them so got some and they are really cool, different from anything I've ever listened to. A bit of electronic, some experimental points and a lot of insanity.

Best songs:
-Mark David Chapman
-Shut Me Up (funny video)
-Straight To Video (#crazy #nonsense #insane)


4th: Linkin Park

LP

One of the most famous bands I know, Linkin Park had reached its highest point with the albums Meteora and Hybrid Theory in my opinion. Then they started to change their styIe and got to what they are today... I don't like those new LP songs and I don't know why they changed, but it's okay 'cause they can't change music that's been already done. With elements of hip-hop and rock, Linkin Park is for sure one of the best bands ever.

Best songs:
-Lying From You
-Runaway (Dragon Ball Z/GT AMV)
-Don't Stay (Naruto AMV)


3rd: Serj Tankian

Serj

System of a Down's lead man, main vocal, keyboarder and lyricist Serj Tankian started his solo career some years ago and his songs are great! Beautiful lyrics, usage of unusual instruments for a rock band and his unique voice makes his songs awesome! Also, Serj and Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave) have the Axis of Justice, a non-profitable project to gather musicians to fight for social justice or something. Serj also fights for the recognition of the Armenian genocide, and other noble causes involving social and humanitarian problems and is a poet, who has recently published his poems book, Cool Gardens. Sorry for writing so much about him, but I consider Serj Tankian as being my only true idol.

Best songs:
-Beethoven's C*nt
-Baby
-Falling Stars


2nd: Slipknot

Knot

Slipknot is a nine-piece band of new/heavy metal, though their styIe has changed within the years. The band is known for their masks, used during shows and in the videos. They say they wear masks 'cause they wanna be recognized by their music, not by their faces. The band has a DJ, a drummer, a bassist, two percussionists, two guitarists, a backing vocal and a lead singer, what makes an awesome musical experience.

Best songs:
-Vermilion, Pt. 2 (maybe the most beautiful song ever)
-Dead Memories
-Wait and Bleed

1st: System of a Down

SoaD

Musically great, deep lyrics (most), what else? It's hard to explain why this is my favourite bands. Maybe the fact that it was that best friend of mine who left to Argentina who introduced me to the band makes me like them more, but they're just amazing. Their music is not so heavy, and I think it's enjoyable for anyone. SoaD forever!

Best songs:
-Metro (Berlin cover)
-Mind
-Spiders

Beat the Cheat! + My Friend Codes

Once I was playing Mario Kart Wii with random people when I faced a cheater. It was the first time I saw one... When the race started he was already throwing green shells, bob-ombs and blue shells in Luigi Circuit. It was just him, me and some other guy, man, it was freaking awesome! I mean, explosions all around the track, it was crazy! I just turned my Wii off 'cause I didn't want to lose points (don't know if you lose points doing so).

Then, the day before yesterday I was playing all cool, winning most of the races (I'm not that good, but when I play in Worldwide I usually am first :P) then some guy named "ña" started picking on me. He was as a guest of a guy from Chile and they had a strategy... One of them was the first and I was the second most of the time, so this ña guy was always using stars and shells to hit me on purpose, he even stopped behind me after hitting me to hit me more times :x I'm not sure if he was using some cheat but he always had three red shells... And yesterday I raced some guy with three stars and 9999 points named Crazy Dog... I was in first most of the time in Rainbow Road and he'd just kept using bullet bills and blue shells... So I just stayed in second, right behind the first guy and when we were getting to the finish line this Crazy Dog sent a blue shell to the first guy and I won! That's what I call beating the cheaters! Anyway, I hate cheaters in any game, but the ones in Mario Kart are just annoying, I wish Nintendo could do something about it.

Sorry about the long and pointless blog, I also wanted to leave my friend codes so if you have one of those games we could play together, here they are:

Wii Number (to send messages and other silly things. I also have Wii Music in case you want to share your videos and see mine): 8233 9611 7294 2784

Mario Kart Wii: 4898-0688-2741

GTA Chinatown Wars: 2965-4976-1545

Mario Kart DS: 1247-3464-4125

Pokémon Diamond: 3308-9307-2189

Also, here's my MSN in case you wanna talk about races, trades or battles, or simply to talk about any thing: lucas.delfin@hotmail.co.uk
Numbers five to one coming tomorrow :)

Top10: Bands (10th to 6th)

Hey, now it's time to list my favourite bands... It was hard to rank them (except for the 1st place) 'cause it depends on my mood, on the moment and the songs, but hope my musical taste please you.

10th: Tenacious D

Tenacious D

Tenacious D is a rock band leaded by actor and musician Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Their lyrics are really funny and their songs sound really cool. There's a movie about the band's "history" called The Pick of Destiny. The movie is okay, not the greatest one, but well, the movie list was already done.

Best songs:

-Tribute
-Wonderboy
-Kickapoo (watch this one if you don't know the band)

9th: Breaking Benjamin

Breaking Benjamin

It was hard to put BB in 9th 'cause their musical qualities are better than some bands' put as better in this list, but anyway, Breaking Benjamin is a relatively new alternative/hard rock band and they are awesome!

Best songs:
-The Diary of Jane (this-is-f*cking-awesome!)
-Blow Me Away (Halo 2 soundtrack)
-Dance With The Devil


8th: Incubus

Incubus

Though some of their songs might sound like each other, I like Incubus and to be honest I don't have much to say about them, let the music talk by itself. Oh, and Aqueous Transmission is the most relaxing song I know, I've fallen asleep twice or more while listening to it on the sofa, I'm serious.

Best songs:
-Aqueous Transmission (this is so damn relaxing!)
-Megalomaniac
-Agoraphobia


7th: Trapt

Trapt

It was an English guy who I met on the net who introduced me to this band and whoa! It's really good. Nice lyrics, nice melody... Nothing wrong at all with them.

Best songs:
-Stories
-Still Frame
-Headstrong


6th: Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys

They are called indie and they do sound indie. Their lyrics talk about love, popularity, and other problems that some teenagers have. That all would suck if they didn't sound good and put the right dose of everything in their songs.

Best songs:
-Love Machine (Girls Aloud cover)
-Still Take You Home
-A Certain Romance

5th to 1st will come tomorrow or after... Have a nice Sunday :D

It's anime time!

Well, I'm not a huge fan of anime, you know? Besides Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Elfen Lied and Death Note I haven't watched any other anime for real. But I'd seen some Speed Grapher episodes on Animax and I found it cool, so I started watching. It's about a photographer called Saiga who investigates crimes and dirty people (he reminds me a lot of Kyle Hyde from Hotel Dusk: Room 215), then some day he receives a weird power, when he wants, he can blow things up using his camera by taking photos of what he wants to destroy. I've watched it only until the 3rd episode, and so far it's full of cruel violence and promiscuous women :lol:

Speed Grapher

Smile to the camera!

I also started to watch Pandora Hearts by indication of friends. The anime is very confusing, it has elements from Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Ozbut it's sweet, I've watched the first and second episodes and the action has already started. It's published by Square Enix, so you can expect an anime of high quality... But I think Speed Grapher is more appealing to me, so I'll be watching it more than Pandora Hearts.

Pandora Hearts

Sorry, I can't resize images on Chrome and couldn't think of anything to write here

Guess I'll start watching more animes, so, you guys got any suggestions of good ones? I don't want things like Naruto or Bleach... Maybe something like Death Note (though this one is unique!)... So, anyone?

Top10: Films (5th to 1st)

This is the second and final part of my Top 10 list of movies. If you missed the first part of it, you might want to check it here.

5th: Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

Kung Pow

Full of purposeful cheap special effects, usage of old Eastern films footage and funny voice acting, Kung Pow is not so famous, at least I'd never heard about it when a friend of mine started talking about it. But then I watched it and I loved it! The voice acting is as funny as hell (not sure if hell's funny, though). Sometimes this movie look a little home made but it can take laughs out of you for sure, word of a scout. Okay, I'm not a scout, but this movie is awesome!


4th: Epic Movie

Epic Movie

Like Scary Movie makes fun of scary movies, Epic Movie makes fun of... Epic movies :lol: Like Pirates of The Caribbean, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter and others. It's a really funny film, and it's replayable. That means that you'll still find it funny even after watching it many times (at least for me).


3rd: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Sweeney Todd

Whoa! What can I say? The best musical I know, and a really amazing film! I loved it every time I watched it. I have all tracks from it on my PC and I listen to them kinda often, they're all awesome! Starred by Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton, Sweeney Todd is an artistic master-piece!


2nd: Borat

Borat

I guess most of you have at least heard of this film, where a report from Kazakhstan goes to the "U, S and A" to learn their culture and he's really funny, he does a lot of inappropriate things, etc. I think who watched Borat either loved it or hated it, so what side will you pick?


1st: Pirates of The Caribbean

PotC

Had to put them all together, either way those films would take too much space in this list. Well, Disney's Pirates of The Caribbean is one of the best "series" of movies ever. With a terrific cast (main characters: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Geoffrey Rush), action, great special effects and the right dose of humour, Pirates of The Caribbean movies are for sure must-watches and I consider them modern cIassics.

That's all folks, hope you enjoyed this Top10 and watch for the next Top10, that will feature my favourite bands. After that I swear I'll come out with something game related that I think you'll like :)
