Hmm. Anyhow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, new series up on YouTube, new channel up specifically for the blog, my intention to keep this going has only risen, and it will never end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless. SO. Bloodrayne was supposed to be out last week, and it still isn't. Slated to be this weekend. I know, I know, Griff, what the fuck, why isn't it up. Well, lemme explain. I am a clod. A huge tool of a moron of a clod. Somehow, my password got corrupted. I mean, none of my older passwords worked, none of my wife's passwords worked, we tried for six hours to get this restored. So, I was forced to go and restore to factory default. And yes, I tried to even Reformat knowing that vista will keep as much of your old files as possible. But no. Nothing. No dice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I started my MGS3 Let's Play. Which part one will be linked below along with a link to the channel. And yes, once it's all said and done, I will make it into a playlist and all that. Bloodrayne... well, I'd love to have it out Saturday, then start on the next immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, ah yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/Morivanism&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d4bwTkj7UhE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/d4bwTkj7UhE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/size&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8075987188500497681-1985391718354942019?l=morivanism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/feeds/1985391718354942019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/09/if-i-had-traffic-like-spoonys-id-do.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/1985391718354942019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/1985391718354942019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/09/if-i-had-traffic-like-spoonys-id-do.html' title=''/><author><name>Griff Morivan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08429221658452508147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IZGCAH9lSes/SVmHQgVIVAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ZlY-cLyBRMo/S220/Aphex+Twins+-+Windowlicker.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075987188500497681.post-1248047734559638958</id><published>2009-08-15T10:59:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-15T18:05:48.210-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VidReview'/><title type='text'>Uwe Boll Hell - Episode One!</title><content type='html'>&lt;font=trebuchet&gt;&lt;size=10&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Video at bottom of post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, folks, here it is. The artsy, funky kinda thinger, Uwe Boll Hell Episode One. I am actually on my way to our friend's house as i type this, because she's going to be married today. Huzzah! Video of that coming soon, but that's neither here nor there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So. Uwe Boll Hell. Basically, I'm gonna review The Big Five, starting with Bloodrayne. Half because it's the one he's making another sequal to, and half because aside from House of the Dead, it's the only one I'm familiar with, and considering there was a six month stint where that was the only game I owned, it's a big one for me. The game was... alright, it was decently executed, but it was nothing special, I admit. I still liked it, and it was a different kind of challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, yeah, The plan is kind of out of order. Bloodrayne, Alone in the Dark, In the Name of the King (Dungeon Siege), Postal and House of the Dead. The reason I'm doing that is, well, Alone in the Dark and Dungeon Siege weren't good, but they weren't nearly as bad as Postal or House of the Dead. Postal for being just... unfunny, for lack of a better term, and House of the Dead... yich... you'll see, folks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what can I say about this one? It's not a review, but I knew I needed to do an introduction into the Uwe Boll series. I'd venture to say that despite it being just me, and there being literally no budget, that ten minute portion was better than the entirety of Uwe Boll's ten hours of video game debauchery. Hell, he oughta fund me and I'll make a decent movie, if it'll shut him up. Though, knowing him and if I were to appear as a blip, he'd want to box me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lolwat?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting back to the point, this video was actually pretty easy to do, I just had a TON going on the last two weeks, but I wanna thank those who helped out, Covenant, Lynnie, and of course, as promised, Reanchi and Jaze, thanks a ton for your contributions to the project. Thanks to those two donations, I can now do video game consoles, or pretty much anything I can find that uses an RCA jack. Which, incidentally, includes almost all consoles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a hell of a thing, you know? I don't know what I expected. I wanted to get onto TGWTG, and I still kinda do, although moreso, I'd like to appear as part of TSE, assuming he'd ever take on a permanent addition. But in the mean time, I will continue. I'll be writing a thread in the TSE, so hopefully, that'll draw some attention. So, what else is there to say? I have enjoyed making this video, and I will enjoy ripping up five Uwe Boll movies in a row. So let's do this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://blip.tv/play/g8VcgZjAKAI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="350" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/size&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8075987188500497681-1248047734559638958?l=morivanism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/feeds/1248047734559638958/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/08/video-at-bottom-of-post.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/1248047734559638958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/1248047734559638958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/08/video-at-bottom-of-post.html' title='Uwe Boll Hell - Episode One!'/><author><name>Griff Morivan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08429221658452508147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IZGCAH9lSes/SVmHQgVIVAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ZlY-cLyBRMo/S220/Aphex+Twins+-+Windowlicker.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075987188500497681.post-8103795217212160153</id><published>2009-08-07T00:28:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-07T01:02:43.733-04:00</updated><title type='text'>So, by popular demand, give me money.</title><content type='html'>&lt;form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="hidden" name="encrypted" value="-----BEGIN PKCS7-----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-----END PKCS7-----&lt;br /&gt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font=trebuchet&gt;&lt;size=10&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, lemme start. I am a participant in The Spoony Experiment, I am a member of the Ventrilo Channel dedicated there in, and am an admin. Granted, you wouldn't know it until I preform the touch of death, as it were. As such, it came up that I do reviews. Granted at, like, a once-every-three-weeks format. Which... is not good. I'm not terribly pleased with that pace, but admittedly, inspiration has been scarce. I mean, I finally came up with how I want to go about this, and so you'll get Episode 1 of Uwe Boll Hell come saturday. But onto a different matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately, people of the Vent channel have been asking me about donations. I had been a little conflicted about it, since I'm still not putting out videos quickly, but after another request, I figured, the hell with it, I may as well put something up. As you can see above in this post, as well as to the side below the search bar, I am now accepting donations. Here are my rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you're giving me money, it's... well, it's pretty much like you're giving me money. I'm just a dude, and I am no charity. What I can say is that I promise, anything that comes through that paypal account will be used SOLELY with the intent of improving my reviews, purchasing either equipment, movies, games or programs to improve the quality of my work unless expressly given under different circumstances. Basically, unless you put "This is for you, not Morivanism" in the comment box, it goes straight to my work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still don't know how I feel about this, and for the one person who asked about giving me a Virtual Boy, first off, I like my eyes working, thanks, but secondly, I don't really foresee ever needing a P O box, so I'm not sure how I should handle that. We'll just see for later, I suppose. Anyhow, see you in two days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/size&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8075987188500497681-8103795217212160153?l=morivanism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/feeds/8103795217212160153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/08/so-by-popular-demand-give-me-money.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/8103795217212160153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/8103795217212160153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/08/so-by-popular-demand-give-me-money.html' title='So, by popular demand, give me money.'/><author><name>Griff Morivan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08429221658452508147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IZGCAH9lSes/SVmHQgVIVAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ZlY-cLyBRMo/S220/Aphex+Twins+-+Windowlicker.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075987188500497681.post-3938198902662091230</id><published>2009-07-19T02:53:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-19T16:27:03.875-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Movie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rants'/><title type='text'>REPO! Angry Rant</title><content type='html'>&lt;font=trebuchet&gt;&lt;size=10&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, REPO! The Genetic Opera. This review was interesting in for a couple things. Firstly, if you've never seen Repo? I try to summarize it as absolutely much as possible, but the thing is, this one is bordering more on NERD RAYGE than it does on proper Reviewmanship. A mark on my record, to be sure. But what can I do? This is a truly odd movie in that, I like the music. No, I love the music. Zdunich did an outstanding job, particularly in regards to the Nathan/Repo/Mag songs. I am in love with those three characters. And I say three, because I defy anyone to listen to this blind and manage to decide those are the same person. I strongly doubt it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, despie my love for the music, I hate. HATE. The movie itself. Why? Well, watch the video, you dunce!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were some things that I did not touch upon. Reason for this, number one, is time. I'm sitting just on the nose of nineteen minutes, and I almost feel bad for taking so much damned time. I feel weird taking up a long period, because one, I'm still pretty new to all this, and despite being told otherwise from certain members of the TSE, I am not terribly confident just yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...I've rambled. This video has been a nightmare on par with... well... nightmares. For a good while, I was plagued with quite the sound issue. For lack of better terms, I shot the video once last week, all done, and when I went to edit, there was this loud, half buzz half swoosh that took up a good 3/4ths the video, rendering it totally useless. No amount of noise suppression or focusing could fix the issue, so I was a little down trodden. Forced to start from scratch, I began anew, including a second script. The first one felt... I dunno, just really, really clinical, and its just sorta... Ugh, nah, I'm done with all that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless, I delve into the Riddler's next puzzling mess of a movie, by which I mean two weeks from now, I am gonna tackle Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See ya later, folks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay. Here we are on day three of trying to get this video finished. Let's recap. Day one, the video was mostly edited when my computer as a whole crashed. I restarted shortly afterwards. Saturday, I took a day for myself and my wife, because since she's going to College and we don't get to spend most days together. But last night, I put it back together. Now, today, I had to publish it. Which took about two to three hours of just bogged down, painful loading, can't do anything else on this laptop when it's publishing, it fucking sucks. It was published, I moved it over the Windows Movie Maker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PROTIP : Making a video, but Vegas doesn't exactly see eye to eye with your computer? Publish it in uncompressed AVI, then put the file as is into Windows Movie Maker (I hear iStudio works the same, don't know) and just publish as a .wmv or what have you. Minimal loss of quality, outstanding compression. It's surprising, be honest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, last night and today, Blip gave me some hassle, but I don't mind much, I just apologize that this review is roughly 36 hours late. I'll try not to repeat that error in the future, folks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/size&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://blip.tv/play/g8VcgZKnNZLBKA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="720" height="510" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edited again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not happy with this one. Looking at it again, this is by far my worst work. You can tell I had a technical nightmare with this, and I just don't like it. I will send in to Mike Michaud in two weeks time with the Bloodrayne review, but in the mean time... consider this more like REPO! The Nerd Rage. Sorry for the general let down. Just now happy with this one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8075987188500497681-3938198902662091230?l=morivanism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/feeds/3938198902662091230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/07/repo-review.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/3938198902662091230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/3938198902662091230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/07/repo-review.html' title='REPO!

So we now have four dead celebrities. It's sad, to be sure, but I find it really weird. I mean, Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett, not terribly weird. Farrah has been going for a while, and Ed was old enough, he used to know Atlus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;The oddity comes in with Michael Jackson and Billy Mays. Now, it's come out lately that Michael Jackson might have been intentionally murdered by the physician who lived with him. Overinjected? We'll see soon enough. Now, I know the argument stands with two opinions. It's either He's an amazing musician and he will forever be missed, OR, he's a child raping crazy plastic man.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;I'm with the first group. I honestly do not think that he did anything to those boys. I think it's horse shit. The parents are liars. Anyone who had even a minute amount of care for their child would never have settled out of court. They would have chased the case as far as possible to get him locked up. So, no, in this case, fuck off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;And then there is Billy Mays. Now, he was found earlier today dead in his home after something of a rough landing on his way into Tampa, FL. Apparently the tires on the landing gear blew out on landing. Now, call me crazy all you like, but I think I know exactly who's responsible for this, and it ain't Delta Air.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/size=85%&gt;&lt;/font=trebuchet&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IZGCAH9lSes/SkfqVHKQp1I/AAAAAAAAABA/uv_QI8l39EQ/s1600-h/vsbefore.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 316px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IZGCAH9lSes/SkfqVHKQp1I/AAAAAAAAABA/uv_QI8l39EQ/s320/vsbefore.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352504330573358930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right. Vince Offer is the one who did it. He planned it right up to the point where he murdered Mays in his home. His first attempt was merely the landing. "Y'gonna love my spikes." Road spikes on the runway. He wrung his hands, cackling as the plane shuddered on landing. "Head Trauma, Drama, Obama, A Llama." Cursing when he saw Mays survived, he followed him home, where in he put Slap Chop'd bits if arsenic and the tip of his tongue into his dinner while no one was lookin'.

Firstly, I'd like to give thanks to the friends who told me to use CamStudio, Fraps, Hypercam and a couple others. That... that really sucked. I mean, I got Hypercam to work, but I wish the quality had been just an eency bit better. Regardless. I had so many problems. In learning that CamStudio, Fraps and ZD don't exactly work with my computer. By which I mean, going through three chapters of the game, only to realize that the recordings are in some format or another, straight fucked. Compression was a nightmare, soundtrack was so painfully synced that it was just pointless, and at once poin, Fraps was displaying with inverted colors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fucking joy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise this has easily been my favorite, and I think this will kinda lurch me into doing more. For those of you who can't guess, this is going to lead into my next movie review, and yet another change of gears. Right now, I'm trying to find exactly what my niche is as far as reviewing, but we'll see, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This one was actually a lot of fun to put together, and it's taught me a lot of what I'll use in the future. For the time being, I know two things for certain. One, test programs before delving into te work, lest you spend MUCH more time than need be. Secondly, never fear asking for assistance. You'll notice at one point that you can hear zombie groans coming from my friends from &lt;a href="http://www.spoonyexperiment.com/"&gt;The Spoony Experiment&lt;/a&gt;'s dedicated Ventrilo server, users Biscuit, DaMegaFish and Utruf. MeAndMe provided the groan in the teaser, and Covenant provided the voice of Doctor Edgar Zomboss. Thanks a lot guys. Furthermore, I have to thank my lovely wife, who was kind enough to throw potatos and butter at me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edited at 3:57 PM EST - Posted the improved version with Covenant's fixed voice, and a couple other almost invisible edits.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8075987188500497681-2867600939240547692?l=morivanism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/feeds/2867600939240547692/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/06/as-always-such-problems.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/2867600939240547692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/2867600939240547692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/06/as-always-such-problems.html' title=''/><author><name>Griff Morivan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08429221658452508147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IZGCAH9lSes/SVmHQgVIVAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ZlY-cLyBRMo/S220/Aphex+Twins+-+Windowlicker.png'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075987188500497681.post-1498387590629770829</id><published>2009-06-25T02:13:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-25T02:14:56.678-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;embed src="http://blip.tv/play/g8VcgYySMpLBKA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="352" height="318" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because everyone needs to do a teaser, amirite?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, thanks, MeAndMe&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8075987188500497681-1498387590629770829?l=morivanism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/feeds/1498387590629770829/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/06/because-everyone-needs-to-do-teaser.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/1498387590629770829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/1498387590629770829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/06/because-everyone-needs-to-do-teaser.html' title=''/><author><name>Griff Morivan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08429221658452508147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IZGCAH9lSes/SVmHQgVIVAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ZlY-cLyBRMo/S220/Aphex+Twins+-+Windowlicker.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075987188500497681.post-1679301073890292821</id><published>2009-06-23T14:59:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-23T15:08:31.654-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vlogs'/><title type='text'>Wow.

Please stay away from an engineering design table?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I make everyone really angry at me, I want to give this a bit of preface. I love the Metal Gear franchise. I accept that it's one of the most disconjointed stories the world has ever seen. I know that Ocelot double crosses Volgin to work for the United States under a shadow organization, winds up working as a member of FoxHound, but is only doing it as an operative of Solidus, who he is actually working against in favor of the patriots, who he... Well, MGS4 is still just a year old, and many of us don't own a PS3, so... suffice it to say, he double crosses, I wanna say, seven sets of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I might actually include here. If you're avoiding MGS4 spoilers, you might skip this. But, mind you, it has absolutely nothing to do with the ending. It involves the tail end of chapter four, which you probably already know. So... If you don't want to know stuff that's already pretty well known, then, a'ight, I'll write more later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...I just realized Ocelot is Disconjointed, not really the series itself. If you can follow where he's going, you're good. And granted, the Big Boss Saga (MGS3, PortOps, Peace Walker(?) FTW) isn't NEARLY as convoluted. Cause, see, that story is pretty much as straight forward as can be. Or, at least as straight forward as any espionage story can be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, bouncing back to the point here. The series is pretty much indicative of Kojima'sanime mechanics." Which... I guess works. But if we allow for that, then I can't make another long winded post. So that simply won't do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think I can start at the end. But I guess, MGS3 begins this problem. The Shagohad has a screw propelled machine hybrid, meaning that the front end is pulled along by massive screws, while the back is propelled by a series of tires. Not that we have anyway of knowing, you never see them, as I recall. It didn't work out for me, really. I mean, too heavy, just doesn't look right at all. Seems too back heavy, I don't see how the propulsion system would work whatsoever, specifically for launching a nuke. I don't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never said I know anything about engineering. I said he definitely doesn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now as for the rest. We keep talking about how the Metal Gears are indestructible. But I think what really kills me about it? Tell me what about those legs can't be completely fucked by some dedicated fire? I mean, the platting can be pretty solid to be sure, but I mean, say you crack it, then it's over. And if it's too hard to crack, how do the legs move? Especially the really goofy ones from MG and MG2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...fuck you, not on the NES. You never fight them on the NES. And Snake's Revenge isn't even a playable game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don't get, though, how does blowing the feet of a giant robot hurt it. More over, why does it have to be a specific pattern? Couldn't you just pile fifteen units of C4 around each foot and then hit the kaboom? Or... like, throw C4 up onto the joints? And furthermore, that doe-...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never mind. Let's skip forward. Cause I realized I'm never gonna get to the joke if I don't just get to the joke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In MGS1, Snake destroys most of Shadow Moses, including Metal Gear Rex. Cause for starters, Snake blows off the tracking device, that big disc on the left hand side of the cock pit that made it so that REX could detect targets. Snake blew that up. And then, with that blown off, Snake tosses a bunch of grenades into the cock pit. Never mind the fact that he's throwing grenades into Liquid's lap. But essentially, he fries the cockpit. I mean, I thought the fist fight on top of REX, where Liquid mentions that it's fucked is kind of indicative of it being cooked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay. fine. Four years later, we see that Liquid Ocelot is using the Super Metal Gear RAY that can pimpcrush every one and every thing. I mean. This fucker actually manages to break part of Arsenal Gear. One is left to presume. Or, perhaps, they decided to turn it on, toss a cinder blockMGS2 had Raiden as the lead, and I know precisely two people who like Raiden more than Snake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heya Jeff, Challen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So right. As the game continues forward, we've got RAY, which they aren't all, YO THIS IS STILL AROUND! But we're left to believe, he probably kept it in pretty much working order. If nothing else, it's his Gran Turino that he polishes and locks in the garage while he, you know, burns villagers or some such.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where the actual spoilers kick in, kids. Run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you don't guess everything I say that's factual, you're about as dumb as shit gets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay. If you're still here, Aeris dies, Spike Dies, Dumbledore Dies, Everyone but Shinji dies, Everyone but Fei, Citan and Elly Die, She kills Bill, Sora sucks more dick than Parez Hilton's gay cousin. The Kingdom Hearts original characters are so fucking shitty, they don't warrant last names. Fograts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here we are, roughly nine years after the Shadow Moses incident, Snake heads back to the Fox Archipelago to find some shit that I've currently forgotten. Naturally, we're doing flashback humor like a mother fucker. But then finally, they have to go and try and prev-oh yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They go to Shadow Moses because Ocelot needs the railgun off of REX so that he can orbitallysatalite that controls the Patriot Oversystem. But, if the Patriots are simply destroyed, every facit of modern life goes with them, including the banks, telecommunications, the whole fucking world. Their stranglehold on the planet. So, Snake has to prevent it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, they get there, little to late. You are ambushed by Vamp. Mind you, Snake is still feeling ill, and you've been on the long haul at this point, so Vamp can fun you up. You can't kill him. The idea is to wear him down to where you can grapple him, then stab him with your needle that quiets your nanomachines. Because his freaky death powers are based on NANO MACHINES! Quiet him up, he realizes he isn't regenerating anymore. Raiden appears and fights Vamp while you fight of Suicide Gekkos. Yes, Snake continues to play second fiddle to Raiden. God damn it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vamp is killed, Naomi kills herself, and you are put to defending REX while Otacon repairs REX. By upgrading it's controls. So, when he manages this, Snake climbs in and pilots REX out, fighting dozens of Suicide Gekkos while headed outside, only to be confronted by Ocelot inside of Metal Gear RAY. And Snake proceeds to use REX to smoke his ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2005, Snake blows up the guidance system so that the thing can only be piloted open, and then proceeds to lob hand grenades into the cock pit until it stops functioning. And then, it is left in the arctic cold for NINE YEARS, left to collect dust and rust, not receiving a polish, no maintenance, not even a fucking oil change, Ocelot comes back and steals the railgun off of it. And then, after fiddling with the system enough to make it working, sorta, it gets up, fights tiny mecha designed to essentially hug you and explode, and then goes forward to take on a mecha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're trying to tell me that because it got upgraded from Windows 3.1 to Windows Vista, REX is now capable of ruining everything in it's path?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT THE FUCK?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does this even work? The biggest glaring issue to me is that this thing was blown to bits. It was on fire at the end of MGS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; misunderstanding of machines. Now, I suppose we could go right to "It's  on the gas pedal and just let it fly. Who cares.  snipe the  that is vastly it's superior at the moment.. It had rockets and grenades and bombs chucked into it's cockpit BEFORE being lit on fire, and then being left to rust for a decade. I know the story is convoluted, because it was written over the course of a quarter century, but SHIT, have at least a little common sense left to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8075987188500497681-8046261629685945925?l=morivanism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/feeds/8046261629685945925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/06/hideo-kojima-needs-to-stay-away-from.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/8046261629685945925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/8046261629685945925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/06/hideo-kojima-needs-to-stay-away-from.html' title='Hideo Kojima needs to stay away from Honda'/><author><name>Griff Morivan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08429221658452508147</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IZGCAH9lSes/SVmHQgVIVAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ZlY-cLyBRMo/S220/Aphex+Twins+-+Windowlicker.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075987188500497681.post-5143548719362745710</id><published>2009-06-06T22:40:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-16T12:13:27.182-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vlogs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Film'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rants'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VidReview'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Please read the blog, then watch the video.

First of all, about the movie itself, and what caused this accident of a review, and just go from there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife and I love shitty movies. Well, that's not terribly accurate. We love bad movies that accept they're bad, or throw in your bit of humor kinda knocking themselves. Terrible horror flicks are the bomb. And absolutely the pinnacle of film, to honest. I'm serious. I love bad movies that know it. But she loves bad movies, even and seemingly more when it thinks its any good. I just do not get it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And apparently my single quote is stuck as the search function. How odd. I can do ", but not the lower case. How weird. So, no contractions for the rest of this post. Or, none with apostrophes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, back to the point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A friend of ours, &lt;a href="http://inchesapart.blogspot.com/"&gt;Jadzia&lt;/a&gt;, brought this movie over along with her PS3 and Dead Space. Naturally, I agreed with anything if I could play Dead Space. So, whatever. We sit down to watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck I was angry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disjointed writing, terrible fucking directing, NO. LIGHTING. Seriously? I mean, I watched a few of his other flicks afterward and I realized. Richard Friedman owns exactly one lamp, and it's a bendy desk lamp. Aside from that, the actors just aren't good for the most part is just... terrible. And most of them, not good. The headliners, I recognized immediately. Kane Hodder and Denise Crosby, AKA, Jason from Friday the 13th 7-10 and Tasha Yar respectively. 'Notable' appearances from Eddie Velez as Father Anthony, who I know from the forced-to-watch White Chicks, and Vince Lozano as Ivan. No one knows this but me, I guess, but he was an extra in Pirates of the Carribean, the first one. If you wanna look him up, he's the pirate that shouts "I'm gonna show you a world of pain." to Will at the end of the flick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO back to the point. The movie is fucking terrible. It's like being raped in your eyes, and your ears, but with the script love child of The Omen and any give HBO porn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, whatever. It's a bad flick. I hate the god damn movie, but I sit through a hundred minutes of solid shit before just shaking my head, getting online and zoning out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then I had a dream about the movie. And I replaced Kane Hodder in the film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a bit angry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I decided to review it. And I thought, maybe a text review. I could do the whole movie, break down the whole thing, but then I decided, fuck, I wanna get in with some other guys. That's right, Mike Michaud, take a look at my video and upcoming ones. I wanna join Tg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe a subsection of Spoony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways. So I decided to go with a video review. I told a friend, he gave me a copy of Vegas, which I'm learning, (it shows), and then tried to rip the DvD. Get this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DVD ripper actually just said "Error : No."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the fuck kind of an error is that?! Later, it worked, and I got through it. But the audio was nothing but terrible screeches. What in the hell is that?! I mean damn it, that's just bad. So, I had to resort to torrenting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To hell with you, I own the disc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I do the filming. And I swear, I think I may have pissed off Zeus or something, because after uploading the film, it's all silent. SO I reshoot and reup it, it works fine. And then the next day, my throat was soar and swollen. Couldn't do the voice. For three days. Finally, on the forth day I managed it, and then I went over and started doing the work. Now, I don't know if there is an easier way to do it, but I wound up opening Vegas twice, one with the cuts, the other with the film I was actually working on, cut and past it, then did the effects. The effects I did not previously know about. Such as slow pans and image overlays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the slow pan was easy. Thanks, YouTube. But the censors were harder to do. Specifically, I couldn't find a tutorial on just putting in a bar, and how to do the frame-by-frame stuff. Which... is annoying, All I want is a black bar over the boobs. And I mean that seriously. There is a lot of boob in this movie, specifically, third act. But I couldn't figure it out, and I couldn't find anyone with a tutorial. So. To hell with it.

The way I see it should end.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;It's not quite why, but lately, I've been making wild observations for game endings that I'm... pretty sure would be entirely better than the original game all together. So, in the first of what will probably be a series, here goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fallout 3, with DnD style endings. We know full well that Bethesda told us that there were three hundred endings, where in reality, there were in fact, four endings with the optional addition of congrants, you murdered everyone. So, lemme give you my version. It's not three hundred endings, but it's nine unique endings, so deal with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawful - Karma 300 +&lt;br /&gt;Neutral - Karma 300 to -300&lt;br /&gt;Chaotic - Karma -300 or less&lt;br /&gt;Good - Kill yourself&lt;br /&gt;Neutral - Kill the chick (cause I can't remember her fucking name)&lt;br /&gt;Evil - Poison the Wasteland&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawful Good - You become a legacy among the Capital Wasteland. You heal not only the wastland's toxified water and cause the Capital to grow, but your virtue heals the hearts of the people. They rally together. Those militant neutrals side with the settlers, and Raiders are washed out. Eventually, you are considered a savior, and the Lone Wanderer is synonymous with Heroism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neutral Good - You are considered a good person who just happened to be there are the right time. Overall, you are thought of positively, but not entirely remembered. Your achievement is remembered, but you, for the most part, are not. It's unfortunate, really, because those who did know you loved you, but they didn't do much either. Thus is life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chaotic Good - You were known as a selfish troublemaker, and when rumor spread among the Brotherhood and the Wasteland that you sacrificed yourself for the good of the land, it was widely denied, and it was eventually thought that you had spread the story yourself. In fact, you're probably still alive, hiding out somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawful Neutral - You and the chick fought through till the end, but she decides to take the bullet because she feels you are more influencial and powerful then she ever could be. You go back and tell everyone the truth, but two factions spring up over the years. One half comes to decide you went in and came out and survived, the other believing that you were never much of a hero at all. This faction war causes more trouble than even the wastleand's creation. The remnant's of the Capital is destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True Neutral - No one knows who you were. Eventually, you are forgotten all together. Most don't know who the Lone Wanderer is. Scholars who study the real hero, the chick who sacrificed herself for the people, often debate if you existed to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chaotic Neutral - It is readily accepted that you helped the chick to the end of her journey and then decided it wasn't your scene. You are forgotten before the end of the generation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawful Evil - Thought to be a paladin, your eventual decision to kill everyone with the modified Forced Evolution Virus was a surprise to many. To the few who survived, it is seen as a sort of reverse rapture. You cured the wasteland, but the monsters and mutants die out entirely, leaving only the purest of humans. You are now considered something of a Angel Gabriel, destroying the evil from the Garden of Eden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neutral Evil - The people all die. You are to blame, but no one knows that. Good job, sport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chaotic Evil - You are remembered as a psychotic terrorist who eventually destroyed the entirety of mankind. Those faithful to you wind up becoming a mixture of Raiders and the Brotherhood, a cultist following that spreads acorss the land. The Capital is destroyed in months, and the rest of the nation falls to your rule shortly. Your name is used as a flag for these people, and eventually, a new kind of peace is held. Unfortunately, every Utopia has it's darker underbelly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8075987188500497681-6196392841057502254?l=morivanism.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/feeds/6196392841057502254/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/06/fallout-3-way-i-see-it-should-end.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/6196392841057502254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8075987188500497681/posts/default/6196392841057502254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://morivanism.blogspot.com/2009/06/fallout-3-way-i-see-it-should-end.html' title='Fallout 3.

I'm just not that kind of guy, honestly. I'm conceited enough to think I should do my own series of reviews and analyses, but humble enough to know that I'm not one of those premier guys.
