This blog will serve as a central hub to promational excursions by myself to any and all future/past connections to various facets to the internet and will mainly serve as a Locale to things I find interesting and worth talking about for the post
Remember the days before YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and all that jazz? I'll admit i'm not so out there that I remember before Myspace, but when Tom was the most popular guy on he internet and Newgrounds was the only awesome for people to share awesome.
How much of this can you recognize? There's still a bit missing too.
I mean Newgrounds got so big that a game was made compiling a few of the all stars in a flash brawler in the style of SSB. It's a bloody website where the tagline is "Everything by Everyone." SSB is a game compiled of dozens of franchises that have been developed over decades in a game that sold at a full $60 pricetag. and sure there is a lot more content in the SSB series but for a small project with a smaller scope Newgrounds has maintained its name and I hope it continues bringing together a talented interesting community.
So the guy above is Julius Richard Petri, he in vented the Petri dish.
While it may sound tasteful good old Julius was no chef, he was a bacteriologist from Germany.
Thus as you may imagine his discovery was involved with bacteria. The Petri dish is actually a small glass dish that is used to place bacteria and watch grow. Terrible description but consult a textbook and not the internet if you are interested in century old inventions for studying bacteria.
The Google of today goes from this (above)
To this (above)
But why are you here and not looking up your essay on Google brat. get gone already.
What you see is the Sims 2 UMD for the Play Station Portable, this proprietary piece of techy trash was probably the must useless, umimspired piece of DRM trash ever. Really Sony? how effective do you think that was? I know a guy that used to make a mint off seperating discs from that container with the UMD sticker on it, and selling the piece of plastic and charging to teach people why they bought it off him, because really he only needed one plastic disc box to act as a second case in order to run the games he kept or sold seperately. Honestly i'm glad they replaced it with online only downloads.
Oh wait...
The case probably cost more than the actual chip material wise.
So the year is 2013, the current generation of consoles is 7-8 years old, and Microsoft and Sony finally believe in next gen. Fin-a-f**king-ly. Let's compare the conferences, and other next-gen knowledge.
Let us begin with Sony's February conference: Games no console.
Xbox conference: TV, Tv, tV, Xbox is the new, well here;
Game-wise I think Ps4 has the PR in their infinite favour for now, hopefully Microsoft will actually impress at E3. Because honestly, innovation stopped with the whole terribly inneficient movement gimmick. wii fitness my arse. The kinect and the PSMove were never made into anything that brought more than dancing to the party anyway. and I'm fairly certain dancing was before all this e-jazz. sorry i-jazz.
I read this a good while back, and enjoyed all three volumes of Svetlana Chmakova's very interesting mystical magical graphic novel.
Really I don't want to spoil things but the synopsis for vol. 1 will be paraphrased,
Alex, weirn in the making, homeschooled since birth, has lost her sister and tutor to unknown forces and when everyone else loses memory of her sweet little Alex must rely on her own half-arsed skills, her cookie craving familiar, and her silky robe to save her from forces unknown.
To all you that have money, go to a bookstore and buy it. To all you cheapskates myself included, your local library probably has it in stock. :D
Star Trek Online, panned for all mmo aspects but dominates free to play ship battles in the awesome universe of... I've never watched Star Trek so really Spock dies is all my knowledge.
Anyway ST O is a fantastic f2p mmo based in the Star Trek universe where you as the player can now command your own ship with your own alien/human, both of which are of your own design, and do battle in small terrible ground fights to the most epic 50 ship battles for war that really gives you that feeling of simple epic elegance. A dance between colossus ships in the infinite void of space can occur for the most experienced Shipmaster to the little green upstart with the proportions of Gollum. I love every bit of the space battles, non-battle land zones, and even the in-depth character customization system.
This is also gameplay... unfortunate, terrible, gameplay.
Now the rather terribly presented, horribly executed, and somehow evident to the large amount of effort put in, the ground combat is the number one reason why this game is not worth the full twenty gb update. Sad really. But to be specific, environment wise, assets are reused over and over again with slight tweaks, corridors appear again and again, and if you don't get stuck on terrain, it is because you are on a flat plane of nothing. UI wise there are so many screens popping up everywhere that you can't see what you're shooting, and there is so much text that it is information ovcerload. Yet somehow SCE tried to make the game action based when there are just terrible hotkeys that stop all movement breaking the user from the experience entirely.
Now for all I've slammed the game on it's extremely weak ground combat, I can still give it a solid 7/10 for the fact that you only choose everything you do, past the tutorial you accept what missions, jobs, instances, war battles you involve yourself with. This game has the most enjoyable space combat ever, excluding maybe EVE Online, but that I'm to afraid to play with how life sucked my friend Eddie looked when he played for a week. So those of you who like Star Trek feel free to avoid this for everything but the unoverse. People who just like free to play I can heartily recommend this game and would invite you to view the enlistment trailer below:
The Legends of League, where old guys in robes force moving rocks, astronaut furry midgets, pirates, spectrals, robots, and little girls that throw fiery teddy bears, to do epic battle on the same four battlefields which sometimes have holiday decorations. But really only two are played.
League of Legends, self-proclaimed moba so it is not a DOTAShdglkhn cone which if you did not know is not a thing but Defense of the Ancients 2 is.
Mobas (Multi-player online battle arenas) or Dota clones are games of 5v5 team-based battles between all kinds of various summons which in the case of LoL are the denizens of Demacia. There are about a million more pages of lore where Anubis is the brother of a crocodile with double blades, And a wizard is made of lightning. more on gameplay eventually.
Rob Ford, Mayor of Toronto, Face-Hitter of cameras, accused drug addict?!
Rob Ford during a press conference.
Ford has been ridiculed often and has not been seen in the best light for some time now. Accused of various drug habits that the good old mayor has denied indirectly in quote; "I do not use crack cocaine, and I am not addicted to crack cocaine."
A news video that includes a section on Ford.
Gawker renowned gossip site recently released an article stating they have been offered video proof of Ford's alleged drug use and will be given access to it for a smooth $200 grand payment. They have thus started an Indiegogo fundraiser for the $200,000 needed. There has been included a $10,000 benchmark prize for the Iphone that recorded the video proof. This has now been claimed.
The Indiegogo has finished and raised a grand total of $201,254 so video proof should soon be revealed.
So I've been enjoying the wonders of the sandbox since I entered the gaming realm, and I have been revisiting my first love.
Sleeping Dogs, published by Square Enix, is GTA mixed with Arkham City and a touch of awesome, minus the multiplayer.
In Sleeping Dogs, you play as Wei Shen, young gun from the U.S. come back to Hong Kong to have a re-restart in life. At least, that's the cover story, in reality you're an undercover cop for the FBI with the goal of embedding yourself in the Sun On Yee to give the FBI a handle on Hong Kong crime and put a stop to it. Keep a hold of who you are Officer Wei, because Hong Kong makes, what it can break.
What you see above this is the third chapter in the hilarious game series, Saints Row. From the streets of Stilwater the Third Street Saints have risen from a small street gang to international pop icons. From waiting around the corner with a baseball bat to making people dance before they explode with your very own octopus launcher, straight from stereotypical Japan, this game Has. It. All. In this game you customize your character to be whoever you want and there is a section for sex appeal! ffs this game is obscene absurd and all-round awesome. Destroy Steelport with predator missiles or giant balls of yarn, this city is your oyster and YOU. ARE. NEPTUNE!!!!!
all the yes.
Assassins Creed 3. Where native american Connor is out for vengeance on his father for the death of his mother in the middle of the American Revolution. Fun sandbox in singleplayer, weak story, weaker advancements tech-wise, better multiplayer even though it's weaker than AC: Revelations.
AC3 is a fantastic game if you are looking for an existing multiplayer scene considering that older iterations have lost all their luster in favour of the newest in the series. Fun more because there are lot's of new more interesting maps and just new characters alongside a few mechanics. Revelations holds a lot more excitement in my mind when I get a chance to play a game these days. So much more intense, more strategic gameplay, etc.. Only problem; NO ONE IS PLAYING AC:R DAMNIT! So yeah, AC3 works for now.
Awesome Story in every sense. You get to ride a zebra. If I said much more it would be spoilers.
But seriously riding around the wild west on donkeys and bulls throwing hatchets, and killing cannibals is pretty beastly. My favourite well rounded game of 2010, this game is never boring and holds an enthralling story. The multiplayer held an awesome scene too. So as you can see, spoilers.
GCI is a WB game that is a very silly version of Cod of Duty. Sorry, Call of Duty. very silly.
Gotham City Imposters is an fps (First Person Shooter) multiplayer online battle arena in a similar style to Team Fortress 2 with it's fancy clothing options and overall wacky theme, and Call of Duty simple drop-in drop out gameplay. All with a 15$ pricetag on console, and now free to play on Steam.
GCI follows the simple standard of ACHIEVE ACHIEVE ACHIEVE where they give you rewards from cosmetic to practical for every thing you do, medals for suicides, killstreaks, time spent flying, and even swapping loadouts.
But you want to hear more about the flying bit, don't you?
Yes you can fly.
See a more interesting bit about GCI than pointless achievements are these "Gadgets" that are part of your ingame loadouts which allow you to perform various actions throughout the game. one such gadget is a gliding rig, which in combo with roid rage steve means human divebombs for days...
There are also jetpacks so you can land on people, targeting goggles, ninja smoke bombs, roller skates, grappling hooks, inflatable shoes, body armour (Trash Can on chest), and more.
Gotham City Imposters boasts a 1000 level progression system which is really just 10 prestiges of 100 levels with terribly spread unlock keys, meaning you need to accept a promotion to gaim access to weapons you did not unlock earlier
-1
For all the cosmetics that GCI does have I don't appreciate the microtransactions needed on ps3 for the newer stuff like pirate outfits and ninja heads.
Alright so NetherRealm Studios decided to take another go at DC in their fighting games.
Probably going to be as fantastic as their last one right?
If you did not in fact know, their last game was Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe Slammed across the board, MK vs DCU left these guys with a fairly annoyed fanbase.
MK9 is still a fantastic game. And Injustice: Gods Among Us will hopefully bring Nether's standard back up.
Injustice, released earlier this month has been recieving much appreciation from critics the internet round.
Superman is the antagonist. Superman is OP. DC is imba.
Spinning blade of death=knives from COD
Gore for days
sending flocks of crows to eat the enemies of foes, make nests on those foes, and create new face-eating crows. FACE.EATING.CROWS.
again, GORE FOAR DAYSE!
Where is the reasoning in taking offense to forced baptism and not the million pounds of blood.
And they got heir refunds too.
Thanks internet, for legally letting a guy have a triple A game for free. Srsly.

Hello internet, i'm sorry, would you prefer the capital I? Fine then,
Hello Internet, there, that's your name now, I will probably not care in the future.
Now to the topic that gave me the inclination to look here in the first place...
Chris "The Masterpiece" Masters of WWE fame saved his mother last week by uprooting a tree, throwing said tree into his mothers burning house, then leaving with said mother in tow.
Why was his mothers house burning down you ask? Well the answer is rather obvious really, the mother's neighbour barricaded himself inside her home and set the house on fire when Chris eventually called the police after failed negotiations to let his mother out.
So, Whats the moral of the story? DO. NOT. SET. MRS. MASTERS HOUSE ON FIRE. simple yet beautiful, really.
Sup, internet? As you may or may not know, I am a gamer, as a gamer I enjoy games, and In this hour I would like to fanboy over a few games that I love.
PS3, a pomeranian, smoke rolling into a desolate street, and the caption Tokyo Jungle. This game is well worth the $15 pricetag over at PSN if you own a PS3. Now if you look at the pomeranian, it is surrounded by red marks along the curb, street, and sidewalk. Thus this game is not quite the cute little playground that is Kinectimals or Nintendogs from Xbox and Nintendo respectively. Yes this game is a bloody jungle in the middle of post-apocalyptic Tokyo. This is a game where you can choose to play as a selection of animals; from deer, to pug, to lion, to black bear, this game is essentially an attempt to survive in a urban city after it has become desolate of human life, and your job, in the campaign is to find out what happened while surviving and raising a clan of your own to dominate this urban jungle. Good Luck!
So, i'm on YouTube... alot. As you all know, video ads have been among many banes of the internet for quite some time. Ever since Google bought YouTube ads have become a very prominent part of the comments section on all semi-viral videos, at least, complaints about ads have become popular since there were ads. In recent years, many products have been released, with various advertisements on all kinds of videos.
So, today, tonight, within a 50 hr period of typing this somewhere in the world, I will put up some ads I have found that are interesting, hilarious, or so terrible they used to be ads like you until they took an OW damnitall I was only trying to be hip to the kids. On with the show then, bloody ingrateful twerps and their bloody...
What is on-live? On-live is a cloud gaming service that lets users stream straight from the cloud. But what is cloud gaming? Yeah... for a gamer like me, and for someone who has been on YouTube longer than this company took to go borderline bankrupt this has been infuriating. With the 5 second waiting period to skip the ad I have gone deaf temporarily about 50+ times more than I would like. Thanks YouTube. Try again.
Hello internet explorer, how are you today? Hm? oh sorry i'm just going to Google to search for something, nothing much. Goodbye IE hello Google Chrome. Yes select as default and remove all connections to me IE has. So this ad is good for one thing, and one thing only; Promoting the fantastic musician Alex Clare. Microsoft, stick to making ads over new versions of a browser no one cares for.
A fantastic piece of creativity that astounds me every time I find something new in it.
A few examples of awesome...
Ronald Jenkees playing a new mix he calls Red Lemonade
John Dreamer's composition "Brotherhood" A BF3 sort of tribute
and my personal favourite, Lindsey Stirling
playing Spontaneous Me on her violin
I find this stuff absolutely incredible, it often inspires emotions so deeply and brings a sense of pride when I hear these things. I hope they do the same for you.
That's really all I have to share tonight/day/morrow/whatever so this is
I recently listened to an RT Podcast over at roosterteeth.com where it was mentioned by one of the hosts the idea of the Matrix. Except that it was centered around him rather than the human race.
In essence he questioned the concept of reality. To explain his supposed argument I want you to pick up an object near you. Give a brief description of the object you now hold. This object is real correct?
Now imagine or look back to an event from before your own birth. Describe the event to the best of your ability. This is also real correct? Prove it. Prove that that happened to someone who is either younger or the same age as you. Prove that WWII happened. Prove any event, preceding you, has happened. Prove that any physical account is not simply an artistic creation and that all personal/professional accounts have not been falsified. Prove that everything that you have been taught that you don't have personal experience with, Is. Not. A. Lie.
Not to sound pessimistic but the idea that you can't be certain if something happened or existed then what can you believe.
How are you this morning? did you have lunch yet? or is it 3am and no one in your part of the Earth can actually see this, hmmmm.... Time is such an arbitrary term that it becomes irrelevant between areas of many countries alone, but I digress.
I am Mazera or Bruser, or Kitsune, or Illogicality if you're coming to this blog from a more recent self-promo endeavor of mine. Of course if you actually know me then you should already know that I go by more names in real life than online... If you met on an online chat then hello Anon(insert 12-digit number here) and why are you stalking me?
I have now realized that I went on to ramble after I digressed but whatever.
As you can probably tell from the title or the fact that you're still reading I am indeed quite terrible.
Now to actually introduce you to my blog, this will serve to essentially be my personal hub for all things me. In other words welcome to New Ramble City home of rants, opinions w/ and w/out facts, as well as a cetre for keeping myself and whoever cares up with me. Things that will probably maybe show up here: Gaming stuffs FanFiction stuffs YouTube stuffs Forum stuffs Stuffs Stuffs
Etc. Stuffs
This is now a useless list stuffs
Why are you still reading this stuffs
Pie stuffs (not!)
Maybe some Music Stuffs
and Stuffs I find cool/interesting/funny/whatever
Also, If you you couldn't guess, this blogs focus is the internet.
It is where I'm based and what I'm using all the time (even now!) so hey. Talk 'bout the coolest thing nearby right?
I have nothing left to say at this point thus i shall finish this post he-
