Super quick (relatively) blog!

First up is the topic of relativity, and how cool it is and how it is the source of all arguments. Consider if you will:

Hitler. He's crazy, we all know that, I mean that moustache was just plain stupid but he kept it! Moving along, what he did was crazy, but from HIS point of view he thought it was right (this is coming from a guy with some stupid moustache...) so there, yes, I proved my point. Ha.

Okay, seriously, really quick, got to get back to work. Two things that I immediately want, okay there are more things but these two I'm blogging about.

If you can guess what they are (not titles but rather medium) then you get a cookie.

Too late, well...maybe not, depending if you guessed it already. First is an anime! Second is a video game!

Erste - Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek. If the title doesn't freak you out, the premise will.

"There is a street where no one lives, where ghostly lights flicker in the shadows. It is whispered that children who play hide-and-seek there after dark are kidnapped by demons…and disappear forever. Tonight, a boy named Hikora joins the game in search of his missing sister. Eight children gather. The street lamps flare though no one is there to light them. The game... and the terror... are about to begin! "From RightStuf.

So there, okay fine it didn't scare me either. Unless it scared you, so then I say cool. Anyway, what's sooooo attracting about this short (30 mins long) anime is the costumes.

Okay...just the masks. Hey! Those masks are cool! Yeah, that's why I really want it, that and it's pretty cheap, 25 Canadian? Cool...and it's seasonal! Perfect for HALLOWEEN!

Second - Hey, I don't know how to say "Second" in German, so sue me. Second is "Shadow of the Colossus." So if you're John, you know what this is. If you've been listening to me rant about this game, then you know what this is. This IS THE COOLEST GAME EVER!

Okay, so you're a boy, with a sword, bow + arrows and a horse named Argos or something. The world is pretty desolate, very rocky, very beautiful. You have your flame, the fire in your soul, your love, who is in a coma. To revive her, you must kill 16 sentient beings.

16 sentient creatures.

16 very large rocky creatures.

16 so-large-that-it's-bigger-than-a-Gundam-size-creatures.

Go.

That's it, the whole game (aside from gazing into the sunset) is set around boss battles. In fact, that's ALL the battles! No minor fights or crap, just basically get from point A to point B, fight a colossi, watch a cine and move on. Why is this cool? ....they're giant walking things and you get to basically decide how to take them down!

I mean they're HUGE! You can decide to climb a cliff and then JUMP ON THEIR BACK, AND STAB THEM IN THE HEAD or try scaling up their leg, or find another method. This is up to the player, and quite frankly, that's cool.

Oh and you can do tricks on the horse, like standing on it while firing arrows, that's pretty cool too.

Seriously though, just fighting those things is an adrenaline rush! Ever play Kingdom Hearts? Okay, stupid question, but there are two fights that are just plain fun. Ice Titan and Rock Titan.

Rock Titan is pathetic, whack him in the leg, he'll fall on his ass, climb up to his face and start whacking, when he gets back up whack in the leg again...pathetic I know. But what's cool is that when he's grounded, get on him but don't whack, well...whack but be careful. When he gets back up, just balance yourself on his back. Then you're pretty much riding him. I'm sorry but that was just plain FUN! Small arena, so it isn't much of a ride but it's still REALLY fun.

Second is the Ice Titan, normally you stand in the bleachers (in a baseball field, bleachers are the seats on the sides) and deflect his ice shards back...only real way of hurting him. Well, it's pretty boring unless you decide to go down on the ground and just have fun dodging his attacks. Honestly, it's pretty cool just plain flying around while dodging his ice shards and such.

So that's why I want Shadow of the Colossus, because of the huge epic boss battles and the fact that YOU decide how to take them down.

Example: The first colossi is a minotaur. There are plenty of ways to take him down (okay so far I've heard of 3)...

1. Whack him in the leg, and then start scaling him.

2. Whack him in the leg, when he falls down like you just cut his tendon, run to his face and climb on!

3. Wait for him to plunge his sword/club into the ground...you know what to do. CLIMB IT!

Honestly, it sounds like a BLAST to play, can't wait to get it on Thursday! YES!

So that's it, a 10-15 minute blog, really fast. Man, I have very little money, so guys, if you're reading this, order your Christmas presents early, I'll see what I can do. Oh, and for the love of God keep that between us will ya? Between moi the writer and you the readers. So that makes...what...4 presents? 4 for the iGAY group? .....I PLURALIZE IT!

Edit: Oh no...I just checked what two experiments I'm doing for my physics lab and they're "The Speed of Sound in a Solid" (...) but what's even worse is the second one! "Thermal Expansion"!

Anyone whose watched Evangelion and who remembers various quirks from it should know why I find it both humorous and...unique.
