After having it on my PS3 for a couple of months I finally launched Linda Cubed Again. A JRPG the west never got again with a great cover and probably like a totally mind-blowing plot man.
I almost immediately regretted not getting an action game in its stead. Playing a JRPG in another language I only 60% understand means I'm basically making it very very difficult to read a book in another language I only 60% understand. Unless the the battle mechanics are really enjoyable (they weren't) It isn't worth it.
I'm also going to be an asshole and say that the plot is probably amazing in the never read a book sort of way. And if it isn't I put up a lot of effort (trying to comprehend the plot/what I need to do) and time (playing a JRPG UIH) for not a lot of reward. It is 2013 and I am an adult and I can figure out where to most effectively spend my time. It is probably playing Freecell games while listening to music and not playing Linda Cubed Again.
I played it for about 90 minutes. I got the basic gist of the plot. I was about to do a lot of dragon quest style JRPGing to see that plot.
-----
Tomba eventually gave me the same reaction even though I was playing it in English and was more charmed by it. That game sure does give you lots of things to do. It doesn't have super sharp jumping and bumping which is getting more and more a stickler for me. The pseudo 3D metrovania aspects were also starting to get overwhelming. I played that for 3 hours and enjoyed my time, but I'm not sure I'm going back.

Legend of Zelda:Skyward Sword (Wii)

I will maybe arrange my thoughts more clearly later and on HP. I have just entered the first dungeon of Skyward Sword. My thought on turning of the system was "When I will play this next, I should do something else."
As I mentioned a few posts back, Wii controls don't fit with me. Link holds the sword exactly (MOTION PLUS) as you are holding it. So he always looks...as awkward as you do. I named Link Geocity which I thought was a fun joke to take my mind off the mind-numbing dialog. If I had someone like Chris with me on this journey maybe it would be enjoyable just tearing the game apart.
There are many cutscenes and required dialog in the first 3 hours. They are universally pointless and unentertaining.
Wait. Wait Wait. Here's what made me start writing. Your big Guardian Bird that is the focus of the first 2 hours doesn't even have a name. It is just YOUR BIRD. You've had it since you were little. They mention it's breed (Crimson somethingsomething). Other things and places have names. In the meetings about the game they decided "Let's make everyone refer to it as "your bird." Really do a wonder on the marketing. What do you place on the stuff toy tag? The bird is the best part of the game.
Then you're holding A to go slightly faster and seeing a green circle disappear and you wonder who thought this fun. I don't think the makers ever played their game.
And you have to shake the nunchuk to roll.
YOUR BIRD is pretty cute.

This Week in Blockbuster
JCVD was a great look into Jean-Claude. He has actual acting chops behind his kicks. It's powerful and I'd love to see him in a role where he wasn't playing himself. He does a great job and I loved the camera work. I think I may just hate the way that French dialog is delivered? Like it ticked me a wrong way and this movie has to be lightyears away from Goddard, whose 3 movies I hated the way the dialog was constructed too. Who knows?
After being ambivalent about The Godfather (the strongest thing I took from it was Pacino not playing Pacino), Goodfellas was definitely a better experience. I liked when it became a completely different film in the last 20 minutes that sort of set up how The Departed was paced. I liked The Departed more though. That one had actually likable characters. The Godfather sets it up so that you never see the criminal side of things. You merely see the family destroyed by outside forces and the rules of the mob. The big trick is it shows them as "good""family-oriented" people, regardless of the families they probably destroy.
Goodfellas doesn't put up that illusion. Most of them are idiots and trash whether directly stated or shown by their actions. They get a lot of money by robbing and have no class on how to spend it. Eventually the business changes (the film covers a good 30 years), and they get caught for doing precisely what they were told not too.
My eternal love of WKW influenced me liking the voiceover narration. It is used wonderfully when it switches characters. Here the female characters have depth (I guess???) At least compared to The Godfather where they are almost scenery. It took reading review of The Godfather to realize that a phone call that followed in someone's death was a setup. That was probably the shining point of the film. In Goodfellas they talk business on the phone enough for the viewer to take note.
In One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest it turns out the only cure needed for mental illness is life experience and Jack Nicholoson. If this film wasn't remembered it wouldn't be remembered I don't think. Danny Devito never registered as Devito. It is indulgent in the story it wants to tell and not the setup and following resolution. Maybe it retains that because it is stopping expectations. Or because it won oscars because it had mental illness without confronting mental illness.
Moonrise Kingdom sure was Wes Anderson. I don't know anything really about Wes. I have maybe seen a few of his films. This was full on that style. I had to stop it every few minutes because it became too much. Upper-class white people with non-problems and lots of twee-chiche. Just twee-ing all over the place. There's some great shots in it though.

Metroid Prime 3 and Pandora's Tower (Wii)
So I've had this Wii for a few months now. It is my second time with a Wii after borrowing a friends for several months and gameflying. The first time I got the amazing Crystal Bearers. Which is still my top Wii experience because I will probably never play Xenoblade Chronicles. The 100 hour game length is pretty damn intimidating. The vistas sure do like nice. The Crystal Bearers vistas are also pretty great!
So Blockbuster had Metroid Prime 3. I have very good feelings about Metroid Prime. I have very bad feelings about Metroid Prime 2. 2 frustrated me with it's dual worlds mechanic, how not interesting the environments were, and that the controls made me scream. The controls in MP were perfect for the game MP1 was. MP2 made me scream for typical FPS controls which was a complaint thrown at MP1.
Metroid Prime 3 starts with trying to have a story and Halo-story-elements and Samus's shitty friends. Eventually you'll fight all of her shitty friends. The first one is the only memorable one and he's way cooler than Samus even if he's visually boring. The first 3 areas are also visually boring. That sort of matches up with MP2 which had one fantastic area. It's called Sanctuary Fortress. I can't find a non-talky let's play in 30 seconds.
In Metroid Prime 1 you're constantly traveling back over the same ground just a little bit stronger with just a bit more you can do. The world changes sometimes and you notice those changes. In Metroid Prime 3 you have a series of corridors to go down and then get on your ship to go to the next corridor. The first big world is orange. The second big world is...also orange.
Shortly after getting to the creatively named "Skytown" in Metroid Prime 3 I started getting disc read errors. I was just going through the motions playing it so that felt like a happy stopping point. I was expecting Skytown to look nice but it was just as orange as the first planet. The Railriding made me want to play Riven. Everything else just made me think, this is better than Metroid Prime 2; This is worse than Metroid Prime 1. Wii FPS controls do not click with me. I got frustrated enough to quit within an hour of RE4 (I love all other versions y'all.) I was making more mistake than I would have liked in MP3. The remote is not satisfying to shoot especially in comparison to the glorious Gamecube A Button.
Might be time to have an 2013 opinion of Metroid Prime 1 since I still have the ability to play it right now.
Pandora's Tower is something else. It is a stunningly weird game. It's like SNES developers were given a Wii toolkit. It makes mistakes and has things that haven't been issues in 3D games in 15 years. It is like this was their first 3D game and they hadn't play any 3D games before. It also has highly sexual monster flesh eating.
You gotta save your new girlfriend who is becoming a grotesque monster. A strange woman with her own agenda (shock!) says that if you slay 12 beasts and feed your GF their hearts she'll be saved. Now there are 12 towers of awkward combat and awkward platforming and sighing non-puzzles. There are also at least 4 really great boss battles. I want to remove everything else and just have these perfect little boss battles. The rest of the game proved not worth seeing the next boss battle.
It is definitely a better game with a friend on your couch to switch off to. Then you're just commenting to yourself how stupid and weird everything in it is.

Spring Breakers and Pain & Gain
I'm still passively avoiding Django Unchained but I'll head on down to the local living dinosaur Blockbuster and rent some movies about violence in Florida.
I've seen very little Michael Bay. I remember seeing Transformers 1. I remember very little about it outside of the painful 3 minutes about Lebouf's parents talking to him about masturbating. I know he may or may not be the devil, though I haven't personally confirmed.
Pain and Gain is
In the first twenty minutes I thought "I'll buy this and put it on my shelf." An hour and a half later I didn't still have the view, even if I ended up with a positive view of the film. Dwayne Johnson is still an amazing comedic actor in the style of Chaplin that few recognize for it.
My biggest complaint is the complaint with modern film. Look at that shot. ORANGE AND TEAL. All the orange and the tealest teal. Everyone wears a teal shirt. It's getting more and more obnoxious. I was sick of it 2 years ago. I'm sick of it now.
The film kept reminding me of Wong Kar Wai with all the voice overs. Internal monologues from many of the characters. As I'm gearing up to leave America for a very long time, it felt very "This is America. These are Americans."
Eventually the characters start acting dumber than they did in the beginning and it feel like the script lost focus instead of the characters being idiots.
Good Lord! Spring Breakers is beautifully shot. It is a gorgeous film. It also probably could be cut down to an hour (from 93 minutes) with nothing lost. A lot of footage is shown over and over. While this could be thought of as reflective, no probably not. It is absolutely worth seeing.
I will sit on my thoughts on it today. I'll revisit this if I decide to buy the bluray. It gave me a lot of the same vibes as Drive. Hpph. I thought I could talk about it more, but guess I need more time.
EDIT: One of the final shots is Biloxi Bridge from my hometown. THAT'S NOT FLORIDA I screamed. Both films remind me I do love the Gulf Coast.

July 2013 Movies
Les Miserables
I certainly remember less than I thought about a 1500 page book I read in middle school. Holy fuck I read a 1500 page in middle school and now I don't have a job. It was pointed out to me that I have the same eyes as Anna Hatheway. Well thanks.
This movie has no time for pauses. It does have moments where it slows down, and you will become very very bored. Then it picks up again and you just want them to hold on something for a minute. It's wrecking your brain because you can't figure out what exactly you want from it, but it is certainly not giving it to you.
Only God Forgives
That is certainly the best part of the movie. The world is apparently complaining it is not like Drive. I admit that I saw it because I loved Drive. Huh. I never wrote about Drive. I saw Drive in theaters 3 times. I bought multiple copies and handed it out to friends. I love Drive a lot.
This movie is not Drive. I am okay with that. It is silence and violence. You know those long nothing shots in Drive? (OH you haven't seen Drive? Well go watch it.) This whole movie is that, and then violence. The violence almost continues the silence. I wondered if this was almost some absurd long joke at "the masses" for like Drive. It kind of seems like it.
Man I wish I had seen the movie that poster inspires in my mind. I will probably see every Refn film that comes out. I'm still debating seeing his back-catalog.
The Score
This movie is on every streaming service for free and it was talked about by an internet-celebrity with a brand new game out. I don't need to tell you more about it, other than I wouldn't have recommended it to you. What is important is this movie staring Deniro, Edward Norton, and Marlon Brando led me to a rabbithole discovery. There's a film, directed by Johnny Depp, that also has Marlon Brando. In the film J. Depp is a native american who is going to be paid to be the "star" of a snuff film. I don't want to see that film. It sounds like a rough time whether it's a "good" or "bad" film. It sounds like an awful way to spend the limited pleasure time on Earth. Why would I want to suffer in my leisure? But yes The Score.
Crank
This Blockbuster previous rental has been sitting on my shelf since the Blockbuster nearest me died. I finally popped it in and watched it. Heck yeah to any movie that opens with Refused. It's an 87 skate video. A lot of it's punch was probably lost because I saw Shoot'em Up first. Also Jason Stathem certainly is not a good guy in this movie! I'm a crazy person that seeks justice in my fantasy. Man I bet Crank 2 is even better.

Blockbuster Rentals in 2013
Since I'm leaving the states (semi) soon and it is illegal to rent games I went on down to Blockbuster and rented some games. Unlike the rest of America there are still 3 blockbusters within 15 minutes of my house. They all have the creepying smell of death about them though.
Halo 4
Sure was Halo-y. I still do not like the action figure feel of Halo. I don't know why I keep trying this series. I know the multiplayer is actually where it is at, but I hate the action figure feel. It is a very deliberate feel that (For bungie at least) is exactly how they wanted it to feel. I could barely feel whatever changes 343 brought to the whole thing as a non-superfan. It had some pretty visuals and watching all the spartan-ops cutscenes on youtube made me go "I'll watch that Halo TV series!"
DmC Devil May Cry
was a pretty cool looking game that the misogyny and terrible fucking writing and the stupdity just wore at me. Holy shit does this game not like women. Once again Ninja Theory has that "strong" female character that has serious issues and just needs a strong man to make everything right/rescue them. Also they say the dumbest fucking lines in history.
Two characters say "I know this place like the back of my hand." I think it is in subsequent levels. How bad do you have to be at writing/editting a script not to catch that. There's lots of detail lavished on the world look and dante's move list (not so much on enemy design.)
It would be offensive if it wasn't such trash.
Hitman:Absolution
I did plan to buy this game at some point to support IO Interactive. Then that stuff happened with them and it didn't matter. I know people are up in arms about it not being hitman-y enough but I got to the 3rd mission and quit because it was just like hitman to me and I couldn't give a crap about anything.
Metal Gear Rising Revengence
The official thread for this is filled with the MG nerds MGnerding it up (s'up guys). It was fun to read that stuff, even if they were all ultimately overcompensating for the nonsense plot. I played this after DmC so basically anything looked like fucking literature. I loved quiton flynn after the change over. I've been using that voice all week. It is a voice everyone can do. It was weird playing a stylish action game without a dodge or a block button. By virtue of not pissing me off after I die (Bayonetta) I'd call it Platinum's best game.
I wanted to box more in this game. I was dissappointed when I stood in front of sexy girl poster and no one on the codec noticed. I didn't feel a need to play it any more after beating it.
What I'm saying is I'm insane and would rather play Ninja Gaiden 3 over and over again. I think that game does a better job with "you enjoy all the killing." I haven't played another game of the stylish action genre where it feels better to press buttons. It feels SO GOOD to press buttons in that game. It is on my short list of games to buy again once I am settled. Man now I'm going to go download Ninja Gaiden 3 demo again just to play level one a couple of times. I will have a better time with that than any of these games that I do not regret renting.
I'm also debating renting Skyward Sward.
