I should really find something more random to blog about...
Guess what? I've been ill since Wednesday! I haven't been excused from school, however. Luckily, I have continued with my projects...
The first thing is that my Anime Drawing is getting better. It is now just like classic Manga. Unfortunately, some people have called Anime a 'gay' style. In my opinion, if I wanted to draw like they do (A lot of lines that barely resemble anything) I'd become a tattooist. I draw Anime because it is fun and my imagination can give the characters a story.
The second thing is that I have finished the story about Josh and Hannah. Yep, more pretend. It's in my Facebook notes but please, drop a comment if you want to read it on here. Josh's personality is inspired by myself, while his name comes from the glorious frontman of Crimson Solace. Hannah's personality is simply my dream version of Hannah the fake version I have created to understand humanity (This applies to everyone but myself.) She is completely inspired by a classmate of mine who shares the same name. I have not, and do not want to, read Twilight. I say this because apperently my story is simular to it. Stephenie Meyer, you've got the talent of a Fifthteen year old. Grow up.
Games. Both classical and new. I have been playing Pokémon Diamond quite a bit as... Randomosity. I love Pokémon. I have also been playing Halo Reach, FFXIII and Gears Of War 2, however. THe reason I have started playing these games again are simple: New fun. Halo Rach is fun to make maps on, after modding everything you have an awesome gametype. FFXIII can unlock me my favourite profile pictures... I also love Lightning and Vanille. GoW2 is...
...
Gory. And has bots. The one thing that is needed in Halo: Bots. AI are awesome, they allow for replayability, hours of fun and (Judging by the amount of games I've played on GoW2) really grabs the attention of the player.
That is all. Thank you for reading. I like to use an Elpisis every now and then, I possibily overuse it.

Anime
First things first, I have learnt how to draw Anime characters. They are not perfect or anything but it's a start. They are the best drawings I've done. I currently draw three type of people:
1. Anime Cat-Girls,
2. Male characters with wierd (Well, Anime style) hair,
3. Female characters with ponytails that look crazy.
As does the teacher, Moosh.
I do not know Moosh personally. I was on Newsgrounds the other day, found the tutorial and then decided to learn how to draw. It was fun.
My method of drawing is simple:
1. Decide the character. There are some differences between the three that need to be done quickly.
2. Decide the view, Head and shoulders, 85% of body or 45% of body. For size reason.
3. Draw the face lines. These have slight varience depending on character.
4. If it's a girl, choose hair style. If you want the hair to come in front of the shoulder then take that into account while drawing the neck/shoulders.
5. Make the fringe. Randomosity is key.
6. From the neck up, draw a spiked hair style for boys or a long flowing style for girls (Including cats.) Dont connect it with the fringe but make it come up to the height.
7. Randomly do the hair for guys. For girls I recommend a circluar style.
7a. For normal girls, draw headbands and go crazy with the ponytails. With cat girls, draw cat ears instead.
8. You now have the outline. Well done. Choose an expression.
9. Eyes. Hard to explain. Moosh explains it well in his tutorial but if you use the expression builder, you can create thousands of eyes. Either small and shart for males or big and bushy for females.
10. Nose. Draw a line from one of the eyes to around the cheek level and the make a < shape. (Or a > shape.) This is a nose. Easier than I expected.
11. Mouth. Line with smaller lines purtuding at 45 degree angles from the tips. Best tip. Add fangs for Cats.
12. For cats, draw a tail to one side. For more than head and shoulder, draw arms, body, big breasts Et cetera.
13. You're done. In theory. Clothing is important (Jeans and a T-Shirt) and if you can, colour. I can't colour so... I wont.
And that's Anime drawing. Hard to do at first, easy to do after a while and simply awesome when you add colour and a background. I'm done.

What am I doing and why do I not post much anymore?
Revision... If you know me then you would know that I do not do revision or homework... Ever.
I live with my family, my brother is on the computer most of the day, my sister is on it the rest of the time and... I am busy. I'm a gamer. Simple as. I play Halo, Pokémon, Mortal Kombat, Et Cetera. I have recently re-discovered my love for Pokémon (My brother (Younger) gave me his copy of the game. One deletion later, I was able to play the game from the beginning.))
What am I doing on Diamond? Well, I started out with the grass one, I caught five more Pokémon and then swapped them with my sisters DS so I got the 6 Pokémon I want, all at level 10. Pretty cool. I'm getting through the game with just these people. It's harder than you think. The only Pokémon I intend on catching is the Legendary, and that is simply so I actually have it.
Final Fantasy. Yesterday, at around 10am, I was on the internet. I was bored so I wanted to learn how to draw Anime. I looked at tutorials and then thought of the best Anime sequences I have ever seen... This was not Death Note, not Pokémon but instead, Final Fantasy XIII. I have fallen in love with Oerba Dia Vanille and Lightning Claire Farron. I also have rediscovered my love of the name Hope... And white hair.
I have been fighting the most powerful creatures on the game, the Oretoises. The have a lot of health. I want to unlock Lightnings picture for my Xbox account picture. I don't have live.
I also am writing a lot at the moment. In addition to trying to draw Anime, I am trying to write about Josh and Hannah. If you're reading this Josh, then yes, I stole your name. I did not, however, steal your personality. And on another note, I have exams this week. We're going to fail like hell.
Seriously, you need to listen to some Linkin Park. They have talent.

Stuff I intend to do:
1. Finish story about Josh and Hannah.
2. Type up story.
3. Get a new guitar.
4. Write a song.
5. Assume a life of normality.
6. Get help in lessons. They assume I can get an A* but I know that that is not the case.
7. Most importantly, I need to find someone who is a lot more intelligent than me, trusts me and is a certain type of person... To talk to.
Trust? Wierd word isn't it? Five letters to be desired. Wierd that if left to long, the T goes and it turns to rust. If someone trusts me then I in turn trust them. I am picky of who I trust but I know that anyone who has faith in me will also appreciate my faith in them, so I trust thos who trust me. I also respect those that respect me and High-Five cats.
Want a little quiz?
1. Are you: a) Boy b) Girl c) A cat looking for a cheezburger?
2. What are your goals? a) Money is important. b) Love comes first. c) I don't care. I want that burger.
3. Do you take stuff like this seriously? a) Yes. b) No c) Seriously, where is my burger?
4. Which of these people are better? a) Wayne Rooney. b) Cheryl Cole. c) Keyboard Cat.
5. Are you bored? a) Yes. b) No. c) Yes, I cannot find my cheezburger.
If you answered mostly a's then you are obviously someone who likes A's.
If you answered mostly b's then you are obviously a more femine person.
If you answered mostly c's then I do not have a Cheezburger. Here is a cookie: (::)
Well, that's all folks. See you around!

Master of Puppets VS Holy Wars
Why? I don't particularly care. It started a couple of months ago. I was bored at 6 O'clock in the morning and I was researching my favourite bads (And yet I don't do homework...) I found out about Metallica legends of the past like Cliff Burton and Dave Mustaine.
After watching A Toute Le Monde, Holy Wars and others by Dave's band Megadeth, I came to the conclusion that both were awesome.
But who is better?
This is opinion driven, as I cannot actually imitate the music, I must explain each bit in sections:
Intro:
The first four chord of Master of Puppets VS the first bit of Holy Wars. HW has a riff that is more awe-inspiring but the simplicity of MP is also good.
The PreVerse riffs:
For MP, this is the driving force of the song. The bits before the singing and the riff that is soon after they yell "MASTER!" The former is the main part of the song and is loved by guitarists everywhere. A true gem of the music industry. The latter is a riff that fits in so well with the first that you are forced to headbang until you suffer a brain hemorage. Megadeth couldn't beat that? Well, they came up with two riffs as well, the first of the two having an open palm-muted string mixed in with some Hammer-ons and Pull-offs in the middle. More metal than the first of the Metallica first preverse riff. The overlay of the pure distortion that follows is awesome to the point of extremity, another gem of the music world.
Verses:
Metallica sounds awesome and the meaning of the words? Drugs. It's all about how drugs will control your life and force you to become a puppet. Megadeth is all about the wars between religions for religous purposes. Both are deep when you think of them. Not Tool deep but deep nonetheless.
Soft Solo:
Megadeth grab a spanish guitar and play a riff faster than I can trembolo pick. It lasts around 5 seconds and is just plain awesome. Metallica, go all out in this section and play a couple of riffs together including the riff that I can play. These riffs are perfect in the song and you can really feel the insanity of drugs. It is beautiful.
The Heavy Interlude between Soft Solo and Verse:
Metallica gradually builds into the heavyness and ends up with a riff that has inspired a lot of metal songs. The riff includes the chorus of "Laughter, Laughter, all I hear or see is laughter!" And after the chorus you get another solo before heading into anything main in the songs. Megadeth instead rushes right into the Heavyness as soon as the solo is over. The riff then goes into pure awesomcity after Dave stops singing.
So, who is better?
Neither. Both are awesome and well worth listening to. If you are to live your lie, please listen to one of these gems. They are awesome. Megadeth is heavier but that isn't always a good thing.
A Toute Le Monde or One?
A Toute Le Monde in the form: Set Me Free. It's awesome and the female vocalist is hot. The song is better than One because it is more emotionally stiring. The best part of One? Darkness riff to the end of the solo. The rest is good but it isn't as good as A Toute Le Monde.
This is all my opinion, choose whatever you wish. Good night Vampires!

Meetings Of Evil!
Date changed to Saturday 20th of November.
Just joking there, I am not planning any meetings... (Evil is better when tyrannic) And I do not believe in any form of the word 'Meeting' for this topic. It's not my evil deeds that I wish to write about, but guess who does do evil deeds? The Media.
Your average teenager watches shows like X Factor,Movies like Twilight (1) and Listens to songs like Cheryl Cole (Or Drums and Bass... More about that genre later.) and feels the same way about it. We ALL hate that girl that can't sing on the X-Factor, she was included for that very reason. We watch it, waiting for her to leave and for 'The Universe to Right itself' (I don't think stuff should right themselves, only left themselves) and in the meantime, the popularity of the show rises and rises. Why? They're forcing emotions on you and you just let them. They are making money this way.
Music, if you want the full rant, ask me in real life. You'll get a lot of pauses but it'll be there. Justin Beiber? Cheryl Cole? Fads. The record label pays the radio stations exceedingly high amounts of money to only play their music and then launch a gimmick. I would not put it past them that:
Cheryl just wanted to be famous for her own actions, she was hot but not talented at all. Cheryl talked to people and they set her up with a footballer.* The people she hires write her music, another girl (A talented one... Ish, I hate her singing but for the purpose of this rant I will call her talented) then sings the lyrics and lets Cheryl take the credit. They set up a break-up, the media focuses on Cheryl's emotions (Fake, helped with a little money to the newspapers) people start to see her as a poor little girl and want to help her or something, they then buy her products blissfully unaware that Cheryl is currently laughing about the whole ordeal.
(I would like to note that the above may or may not be true. I have, however, taken a business course at school and know a little about the lengths people will go to advertise in the recession.)
Drum and bass? As a genre? Really? That's like going to African Oasis and sitting in the sun all week. You get the basic side of things but you don't quite get the whole thing. The advanced side (In the case of both) is a lot more impressive and beautiful. Try listening to Guns and Roses' November Rain by only listening to the orchestra, no Piano, Drums, Bass or Saul. It's no good while in reality the overlaying song is beautiful and emotionally stirring. It almost makes me cry.
Now for the last thing I have written and intend to rant about: Twilight. Anyone can write a vampiric romance tale if they have free time. In fact, I have. If you're making up how a character can move, talk or fly then you can make the perfect person. You want to know what I really hate about Twilight? Tough, I'm telling you anyway:
1. The creation of a perfect man. There is no such thing as a perfect person and if people are compared to a perfect person then they'll never be good enough, on the guy, this means that the girl is a lot more likely to break up with you and the girl is less likely to find love. Pobody's Nerfect. (Spoonerism)
2. The Blurb. The first 200 pages only capture the reader by hiding the identity of Edwards character. The first words on the back? "First, Gay Sparkling dude was a creep... Oh wait vampire!" I think comic book guy would say something like this: "Worst! Blurb! Ever!" The best blurb? "Hey, we wont tell you anything about this book. If you want to know what happens the read it." Legendary.
3. Vampires. They sparkle, they don't eat people and the only thing that actually makes them even remotely cool is sucked from them (Irony that I am referring to blood).
If you want to see a cool version of Twilight, please watch Tweenlight, an episode of the Simpsons starring Daniel Radcliffe.
Other stuff:
See Josh Marks' blog for awesomosity.
Buy me a guitar!
Listen to some Disturbed... Surprisingly awesome to listen to.
AC (Lightning bolt) DC is awesome.
Halo Reach is fun to play but it is best to take a break. This applies to CoD as well.
Halo Firefight vs Gears for War Horde debate is up for the running, in fact a debate about the two is now offically open. I will write another rant about them later.
And Finally, some album ideas:
MCR: Three cheers and Black Parade.
BFMV: Scream Aim Fire.
AC/DC: Best of Album.
Slipknot: All Hope is Gone.
Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet.
Disturbed: Ten Thousand Fists.
Dragonforce: Anything really, I recommend any album but Inhuman Rampage. Ultra beatdown?
Guns and Roses: I like Use your Illusion II but there may be betters.
Anyone notice why I ordered the above like so?

A comparison of games.
Let me start off by saying that I will appreciate any input on these comparisons and I will also accept any new major play offs. I will be comparing:
Final Fantasy XII (PS2) with Final Fantasy XIII (X360),
Assassins Creed (X360, original game) with Grand Theft Auto IV (X360),
Halo Wars (X360) with Fallout 3 (X360),
Pokemon Blue (GBC) with Carsh Bandicoot (PS1),
And finally, the big one: Halo Reach (X360) with Call Of Duty Black Ops (X360),
Final Fantasy Play-off:
Two of my favourite games. They both offer unique styles and are exceedingly good games.
12:
The free-roaming aspect is the best thing with this game, the characters are a lot better designed for this aspect but could use a little more depth in themselves. The game is very good if you enjoy games like Fallout or Fable. You get a lot of different permuations of characters and this game has an storyline. It has very good graphics for a PS2 game and cost very little. Very good game.
13:
Linear. Big difference. There are discs that are frankly, annoying as they can easily be misplaced. The only time the game is not linear is during the third disc. Not giving away any plot but when you leave the area with the Cie'th waystones then you are bak to being linear until a place called Edenhall. It's not all doom and gloom with being linear, however, as it allows for a greater plot and you are constantly feeling the characters emotions. You tend to fall in love with the game. In 12, when you lose a battle you have to go back to the last save point, 13 allows you to restart the battle. But no escape is allowed. The only bad part? Skipping scenes you've previously seen and the ending. I liked it but I wanted something different.
Conclusion?
12 is better as a free-playing game as you can do more and it is more enthralling throughout most of the game. 13 features no level system but has better plot, graphics and Gran Pulse is my happy place. 13 is a very good game with VERY hot girls. I like both but in moderation. 12 for roaming and freedom (And Dalmasca) and 13 for its plot and graphics (And Lightning and Vanille)
Assasins Creed VS GTA4
My AC game is faulty and I would like to borrow another game from the series. It is awesome.
AC:
Really, really, really good game for stragedy, life and enjoyment. It is a little annoying towards the end but when you beat the game, it is fun to go back to the last level and doing anything you like. Very good old-timey game and the lack of profanities was a bonus to me. More surreal character but that is the point of fantasy games.
GTA4:
More freedom than most games, except maybe Fallout... A lot of shooting people goes on but the story is terrible. You get realism but frankly, there are some really bad systems in it. The amount of sidequests is good but there is no replay to missions.
Fallout 3:
Forget the above Halo Wars thing, this is better. Fallout 3 gives a lot of freedom and has replayability. You make choices and have to live with them. Character interaction is brilliant. This game is a very good game and I strongly recommend it. Or at least borrowing it.
Conclusion?
Fallout is the best game as you get more freedom, AC is good as the game takes longer to get old and GTA is very good but not as good as the others. Just my opinion though.
PokeCoot?
Two games. My first two games. Lets keep it short.
Pokémon:
Awesomeness, thy name is pokémon. This game launched the series. Roaming, customisation and hours of gameplay. Ever since I got this game I have been enthralled but games of the like. Only recently I have stopped playing them as my DS broke. Good games, good storyline. Recommended to all.
Crash Bandicoot:
Platform games... Play these before shooters. They are computer games in the best form. I played the first level too much of the original and still know how to beat the level without sustaining damage... Every one of these games have been a joy to play. I applaud thee, wild dog.
Conclusion?
Both are best. Foundation of the best games in history. Sure, there might be others that are better but you cannot appreciate the beauty of other games without playing these games. Add Super Mario Games especially '64 and I have my childhood back... And my father. (Note that Mario is not my father.)
Viva Pinata VS Bratz:
The above title has been shot to hell.
Soap-117:
A game is to be pleasured. A game is to be won. A game mentioned in this note is epic. Now, I write.
Halo Reach:
A very good game with an impressive storyline and multiplayer. Character customisation has improved since 3 and ODST and this is apparent through even the storyline. You can forge your own map objects for a fun experience and live a lifestyle around this game. This game requires skill to be good, not just hacking to get money and then buying the best weapons and getting lucky to win. Everyone is equal in this game, you start with the same weapons as a MLG person. True skill comes not in CoD but in Halo. You can kill people with grenades but this is not too important. There are no nade-spams and sniping requires pure skill. Teamwork is important.
Call of Duty, With Black Ops being the most recent installment:
Treyarch made one good thing with their previous game WaW, and that was dismemberment (Nazi Zombies VS Firefight is completely different) Now they are here to mess up this game too. If you have a rapid firing weapon that enables you to easily look down the sight then you've won. You walk in to a room full of enemies guns firing and you come out not only alive, but in first place. It is more realistic but the lack of required skill is disappointing. It is a very fun game and attracts a larger community than Halo, however, so you may get more fun matches online. Everything new is ripped off of Halo, the character customisation is ripped off Halo, the points to buy stuff is ripped off of Halo. Hell, even the custom gametype is ripped off of Halo. Treyarach is original...
Conclusion?
Well, for more skilled based, more equal games play Halo. For friend-play, realism and the ability to easily feel like a god at the game, play CoD. I don't play online anymore. I prefer offline. I have not compared the storylines at all.
Nazi Zombies VS Firefight, who would win?
Well, if the hordes were to collide then I'd say it'll be Firefight. Zombies die easily and aliens have ranged attacks. I will add Horde on as well (From Gears od War 2 (X360)) in this as well.
Zombies:
Some plot, feels like more skill is needed, un-customisable test of your mettle. Fun, progressable and fustrating... That was quick.
Firefight:
No plot, you need to be careful, you have a lot more chance of dying and it is pretty much the main storyline all over again... Still quick.
Horde:
Both games need offline AI so you can just play for ages with a cusom game. Fun, very fun, very good but only 50 rounds. I recommend this game for its AI. If 3 is out then get that instead.
Conclusion?
If you like hard fights, lots of skill and have an abundance of luck, go for firefight. If you're lucky, horror-challenging, prefer CoD and don't mind getting cornered a lot, go for Nazi Zombies. If you want a gory stand off then go for Horde.
And that, is my opinions. Disagree? Tell me, I may add your opinion in.
