PokeMon MMORPG?!?

I dont care how old any of you out there reading this are. PokeMon was and in some ways still is cool. The original seasons were great and the gameboy games are the shit. Yes I know as all of us got older, we denied that we liked it and said it was stupid, but hey in our hearts we still looked at the original Red and Blue versions and went, that was a sweet game.

I know this because, hey i was one of the nay-sayers. I never talked about it and hated when they added more pokemon. I was content with the original 150, so i never played past the original Red and Blue versions. But as my roommates and I brought up pokemon once again we all realized that we loved the original generation of pokemon. The first few seasons, Red and Blue Version, original stadium, first movie, and yes PokeMon Snap (yes if you play it again its still fun, just seems alot shorter then you remember).

Anyway, my roommates and I started and replayed the original Red and Blue versions, and I was surprised to realize that i wanted more. I was getting tired of trying to find PokeMon that i hadn’t used in my team on a previous run through of the game. Even Gyarados, Alakasam, and Gengar got repetitive, even though they are still the monsters I remembered them to be. My roommate brought his Gold, Silver, and Crystal versions and i borrowed my brothers Green and Fire Red versions and we had at them. It was new and exciting for me to see all these new PokeMon, but come on, some of them were just retarded. The fact that theyve made some many Pokemon that in later versions theyve basically made Moon and Sun pokemon is sad. But I digress, the idea eventually came up of think anyone’s trying to make a PokeMon MMORPG?!?

Well we dont know, and we have many ideas, questions, and concerns about such a game. Yes the idea of making you own trainer and walking around and challenging people to duels would be cool. Going and finding your own pokemon and trying “Catch’em All” would be cool, but what about Grouping? How would that get worked in? 6 on 6 PokeMon Battles?!? Gym leaders could simply be and instance which would knock that right off the concern list. While I thought grouping was the big problem one of my roommates said a terrible thing… What if they did this and instead of being a trainer you were a Pokemon?

To any of you reading this as part of a gaming company or whatever. DO NOT DO THAT!!! Being a pokemon in an MMORPG would just be stupid, so many people would try to be Mew or MewTwo or the legendary dogs, with a bunch of 7 year olds running around as Pikachu.

Anyway none of us had written in a while and I felt like ranting, but as always any comments, suggestions, or ideas are always welcome about the topic.

Good to be back

Sun down

The sun is getting ready to set.  You know what that means!

Happy Halloween!  Go out and get a costume you loafers!

What happened to Halloween?

Say what you will about Halloween.  You can say that it was a scheme from the candy companies, or that it is the devil’s day.  But, I doubt you can say you didn’t have fun with it when you were a kid.  Every October, almost everyone got ready for the big night.  The decorations were out and the costumes were picked.

The feeling of Halloween carried in the air.  The Fall days carried the fun chill.

I can’t imagine anyone has seen a Halloween set up like they used to seven or ten years ago.  Now, what is October?  It’s the beginning of the Christmas Season!  Bah Humbug!  I like Christmas but I preferred when it started the minute we saw Santa Claus at the end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.  The mall windows that used to have Halloween dioramas now show a snow covered, gift giving scene.

Where is the fun in that?

Do the kids of today a favor.  Celebrate Halloween!  As fun as it was when you were a kid, you won’t miss it if you give it your all with making it fun for today’s kids!

Know what?  Go trick or treating no matter how old you are, if even just for a few houses!

Apple is NOT your friend.

Hello, Apple Fanboys.

I need you do something for me real quick. Quit staring at the picture of Steve Jobs you keep in your wallet, which probably has Apple logos stickered on from each iPod you bought because you could carry around three more songs, and listen to me.

I’ll give you a minute.

Ready? Let’s start this.

Apple treats you like its prison bitch and one that isn’t worth many cigarettes at that. All this commotion over the iPhone is pathetic.
“They took away our third party applications and broke our unlocking!”
Well, duh! What did you expect? I’m typing this on on a month old iMac right now. No where on it does it look like I can really change this to the way I want it to be. The hard drive, video card and processor are all locked away somewhere behind the beautiful twenty inch screen. I want to install Windows using boot camp, but apparently the boot camp license runs out when the glorified service pack called ‘Leopard’ comes out. Did you expect that Apple would let you run amok on its pretty little stock viewer? Apparently, a lot of you did. Oh no, they bricked your iPhone! It was a brick that played music and took calls when you bought the handicapped excuse for a Blackberry, which I don’t own either. Oh, and the price drop? How did it not take longer?! Really, you all bought a cell phone that cost that much?! Use your store credit or save it for iPhone 2 which you will all buy no matter how much Apple screws you this time around. Maybe this time will be different, or maybe this domestic dispute will continue on until the end of time. Probably the second.

Speaking of Leopard, how does Apple get away with charging for OS Service Pack 10.5?

Microsoft hasn’t even tried making you pay for those yet! Maybe you Jobs groupies should spend a few days in the life of a Windows user and see what’s it like to have money to spend on something other than new Apple products.

But, without those, where would you get the Apple stickers?
