Welcome to the wild and crazy world of Randxian's blog. Here I'll discuss anything from video games, work, sports, music, current events, or whatever I feel like at the moment.

So help yourself to some rum and coke. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy my entries. Some entries may be so mundane as to require extra amounts of rum.

Title: Call of Duty = The next Metal Slug?
Posted: November 20, 2009 (07:04 PM)
Seems like everybody and their long lost roomate has posted a review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

It's only a matter of time before readers get tired of this game and it becomes suicide to use in a contest, much like Metal Slug.

Ironically enough, I'm starting to take a liking to the Metal Slug series. Purchased Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii and Metal Slug 7 for the DS.

Title: A fine example of censorship getting out of hand

Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for the GBA does not have an NFL license, which means the default teams are generic, fantasy teams.

However, the game does allow you to edit team names, uniform colors, helmet logos, and even player names.

Instead of editing them all to match the 32 NFL times, I decided to pick 32 NCAA teams. One of my choices was going to be the South Carolina Gamecocks. However, when I tried to put "GAMECOCKS" in the team name, the game balked with "UNACCEPTABLE ENTRY. PLEASE INPUT ANOTHER NAME."

Unreal. Thanks for not letting me edit a team into an actual, legit, NCAA team. Fantastic work.

I just hope my Jayhawks can pull one out against the Sooners. Rock Chalk!

Title: Now this is a baseball card!
Posted: October 14, 2009 (04:51 PM)
I started collecting Topps Allen and Ginter series, which are cards of modern baseball players done in old school format.

Some cards even extend beyond baseball players. One card I found is of Steve Wiebe, a high school teacher who scored over one million points in Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. Nice to see video game addicts are getting their own cards now. :D

Title: I'm an idiot

The reason I've been away these past two weeks is because some dumbass sprayed cleaner directly on my laptop's screen.

That dumbass was me.

I'm sure you all missed me. Actually, truth be known, everyone will probably be like "Is that Rand gone for good? Thank God! Oh shit, he's back."

Anyway, it's good to be up and running. Thank goodness for Best Buy's Geek Squad. Expect some Wii reviews.

First order of business: Give One Piece: Unlimited Adventure the 10/10 it deserves. Sorry Jason, but I gotta disagree with your assessment. Then again, I think it would be obvious I would score that game high. :D

Title: Well what have we here? A shining example of how Japanese voice acting is so much better than English. *Sarcasm*

One Piece Baseball Special



Well, well, well. Yep, all the Japanese obsessed Otaku's were right; Japanese voices are soooo much better than those worthless American voice actors. What a stroke of genuis to have Nami and Robin sound like men! Wow! I'm sure an American studio couldn't scrounge up two female actors.

I'm just curious how one of those Otaku would defend this one. I'm sure they would pull something out of the air to "prove" how this would be superior to anything that could be done in English.

Mood: Snarky
