Smells Like Cherries

Re-Discovering My Love Of Random Shit!!!!!

2017-08-05T10:00:00.000-07:00

Jessi Is Back

First off, not that i's a huge thing, but my absence has been quite long. And I've no excuse but my own selfishness, and inability to deicide what I want. But that shall be no more.

But back to business, how I over looked something like this I'll never know. Jessi recently released her new album and I almost missed it. The whole thing has her written all over it, from the title song talking about how everything is all good, and she made to where she was on her own. And that's a damn good accomplishment.

The opening from the title song is very good, the eat kicks in nicely; but I'm not so sold on the chorus. For me it breaks it up a little but it's still a song I'd bust out during a house party of similarly minded peers. The song that really touched me, is the last song. Arrived, was put together beautifully. The lyrics though not as eloquent; still get the message across that she's back and here to stay.

Out of everything I give it 4/5 cherries.

Let It Die Is [Really] Addictive

Let It Die is a free to play game current on PS4 exclusively, though it's no secret that the comedic hack & slash, RPG, Dead Soul mix. The game sets it up real quick that your goal is to get up the tower. I, myself have made it 16 floors currently.

The game itself it's not too hard, but it does have a few challenges along the way. There a few mini-bosses that definitely teach you early on to make the most of not only your surroundings but your inventory as well. Even the different fighters that are available to you, have a specialty that makes climbing the tower floors easy or hard. The art is amazing, very punk and rock style. Soundtrack wise, it's a full roster of J-Pop, J-Rock, and Alternative that gets your feet tapping as you spend time in your safe haven getting your gear together. The music also helps lighten the mood in between the creepy ambience and listening for key sounds to let you know when a hunter, another player's fighter; a hater, another player's dead fighter, and the Jakals.

This game gets me on the edge of my seat every time I'm traversing the tower and I her the battle cry of a hunter coming for me the butt clenching starts; and I love it. I think I'll be playing this game for a long time to come.

If you're a fan of action, hack & slashes that's free, definitely download it and give it a try. Bonus perk if you're already set up with PlayStation Plus, you get a free starter pack an I advise saving those rainbow skulls aka Death Metal; it's a big help.

The Rest....

Dragon Ball Z Kai, and On NickToons At That

2010-05-14T18:23:00.000-07:00

So I assume you’ve heard the rumors about NickToons getting a new Dragon Ball season, and yes it’s true. Go ahead cry and rejoice at the same time. It’s what I did. I was happy it was on it’s way back but sad it’s not on CN, or CN’s Toonami.

So you’re probably asking het same question I was. “What fuck more can they do?” I know right. Well they’ pitting Goku [and pals] against the whole Saiyan empire. It’s odd because in everyone’s eyes Goku’s the greatest Saiyan of all, who else could there be besides Vageta, Trunks, and Gohan? Well we’ll just have to wait and see. I keep hearing rumors of a premiere this weekend. So help me out and email me the info too.

Additionally, NickToons is to gain Voltron Panthera as well, I really don’t see why CN is letting Nick take it’s birthright. My god, CN grow a damn pair and come back , you don’t need to appeal to the new generation; you’re loosing your old and once loyal fans in the process

The DVD version of the series will be available to buy the 18th of May, so save up.

[Though I think it’s a remasterng of the Dragon Ball Z, honestly, we’ll see]

King And Queen No Longer Reign Supreme!

2010-05-14T18:22:00.000-07:00

Roaming the net I found on e of the most interesting things by far. The King and Queen of KPOP, reign no more. In fact it’s Kings now.

When asked who was number one lately, between her and Rain, Lee Hyori [top right] answered “2PM, not her or Rain [middle right]” who if you can believe it or not, was sitting next to her. Go 2PM for reigning supreme.

I Saw [Loved] Iron Man 2

2010-05-06T20:26:00.000-07:00

So I just saw Iron Man 2, and as the title dictates I loved it.
I was only sad about the fact that Terrance Howard was replaced by Don Cheadle but he did a fine job anyway. I admit it was a little awkward seeing the change but you'd hardly care when it gets to the gettin'. I should've started by congratulated Scarlett Johansson for doing a fabulous job keeping Black Widow as badassed as can be, she was plenty deadly in the movie. Robert DowneyJr. did as you'd expect-awesome. Mickey Rourke played a great villain, he was really good. Funny note it was cute to see Olivia
Munn, host of my favorite show Attack of the Show, I laughed when I saw her. All the actors did great, I loved everything about the cast; it all meshed together in a really great way.

Now for the movie it started of kinda slow, and I spoke with a friend of mine and he agreed also saying "...I was starting to get bored..." and to be honest he was right with his description. Please don't be mad at that small little hangup okay, it sped up and the story couldn't've been picked up in a better way. There were some predictability issues, certain hints were either too extreme, or the riddles and actions were easy to read. I'm not saying it was a bad thing, it was just there. I really don't wanna say more since it'll be out this Saturday and you'll all be able to see for yourself and judge, but I am going to leave you with this if it isn't already embedded in your brain for Marvel movies- keep your eyes out for little Easter eggs, there's quite a few and STAY TILL THE END! You won't regret it [well you might].
---------

So if you been watching the end clips you'd know that they're trying to bring everyone in for The Avengers movie, and yes we're waiting, but then you'd also know that they have about two or three left, excluding the Pyms, and The Hulk. And those movies are:

- Thor

- Captain America

- Any other of the original Avengers,

and i know you all know 'em too, comic book readers

Well I bid you all good night, and I hope you'll enjoy the movie as much as I did, tons of humor factors in the movie.

-Domioku

PS i got this awesome souvenir, a Liberty Stamp, given to those who can't be out past a certain time on the military base. I know you wanna see it.

[I know it's blurry but that's a good, thing I don't even know if I can show this to people lol XD]

KICKASS Is A Game [& Other Stuff]

2010-05-02T08:28:00.000-07:00

I recently got my PlayStation Network update, and it featured the [somehow] hit movie as a game. For $14.99, you can go around as the 3 Goddies of KICKASS: KICKASS himself, Big Daddy, and Hit Girl. The game's got 12 missions, 2 bonus levels, 2-player local co-op, and an unlockable comic book of KICKASS, the first edition. [There will be a small tax when buying, remember that]

So I've been dabbling in video creation, and it's been fun, just thought I shared with you the awesomeness that is me thus far [chronological order]:

The Losers Are Awesome!

2010-04-18T19:44:00.000-07:00

So I recently saw the movie The Losers [4/18/2010; 6.30pm] staring Chris Evans, Columbus Short, Idris Elba, Zoe Saldana, Jeffery Dean Morgan, and Oscar Jaenada; and that is truly a great cast. I don't wanna go into detail about it but I am gonna predict to be an unknown bombshell, that'll have everyone happy they saw it, even if they saw it just for the hell of it. Chris Evans is hilarious, he's just as funny if not funnier than his Johnny Storm persona. I fell in love with his witty and not so witty comments throughout the movie. Columbus Short is truly making a name for himself, he out did himself in this movie [in my eyes at least]. Idris Elba, though in a small familiar role did just spectacular in his, it was as if the role was written for him. Zoe was fabulous she was wonderful; I always like watching her acting cause she makes me feel like the character is real. She brought her character off the screen, you go girl. Jeffery, to be honest I actually can't remember ever hearing anything about him [as is Oscar], but that didn't matter he kept up with everyone else on screen, just glorious; I'm glad that he had the role; if anyone else had had that role I don't think the movie would've been as complete. He was on piont every step of the way. And last but definitely not the end for the amazing cast list is Oscar, god he's cute. I fell for his looks before taking notice to his acting skills, and they're damn good. The dude was sweet, aside from keeping up, he even had his own aura throughout the movie, I could never look away when his parts came up, I would normally check out the graphics and set when I became uninterested, but this time that wasn't the case, him and the rest of the cast gave me no time for that. In fact if you asked me now, all I can say is that the actors did good. They're were captivating. Andy Diggle you did good too, cause there'd be no good actors with out the writers, and I must applaud your writing. I bow *bow bow* to you-just amazing.

Now the movie story, I'll let you Google, or Wiki the plot/storyline, I'm gonna talk about the fact that it was really good, I can't even describe it; the movie redeemed my whole weekend. To be honest it was a tie or even better than my ball. The story leaves you laughing yes, but caught up in the twist and little quirks portrayed by the actors on the screen. Peter Berg, and James Vanderbilt [the screenplay writers] did an outstanding job. I haven't been this caught up in a movie in a while. I swear a smile was plastered on my face the whole time. To tell the truth I'll probably have this movie in my DVD/Blu Ray player for about a week or two. I even wanna see again on it's true debut. The twists had me geeked, as did your actions scenes, god it was awesome. I hope you both'll be collaborating again in the future for another smile-bustin' movie. I loved it.

It's a must watch and a definite buy when it come to the disc. 7 out of 10, I docked a point because I love Idris Elba [so i guess it's really an 8] *Picture found on Bing*

Oh Jay Park

2010-04-13T16:24:00.000-07:00

So Park Jaebeom's now got a YouTube page, and he does covers of liked songs, as well as some dance videos. So far he's got a 'Nothing On You' cover, and now a 'Can't Take My Eyes Of f of You'. I personally like his little covers, they make me smile. With only three vids, adn about a milllion views per vid, good going, and keep it up, if it's something you like.

Can't Take My Eyes Off of You

There's another DJ on the block, watch out DJ Masa [I still love you thought] you've got more competition. The Disc Jockey has alreadt remixed After School's third single Bang twice; one with Led Zrplin, the Pink Mix, and one with a clubin' beat to it, know as the Blu Mix. He's even done two of my favorites: Tae Yang's Wedding Dress and 2NE1's Try To Copy Me featuring a littlle Lil'Jon voice over action, I love dancing to it. Lollipop Pt, 2 by Big Bang is another remixed song under his belt. We're looking forward to seeing you remixing more songs.

Hey DJ Masa I know that not even half the year has passed but could you do a mashup of the current songs out now, i've been cravin' one for awhile, but I can undertsand if oyu wanna wait awhile for everyone that's coming back to make a complete comeback. I Love you DJ Masa!

SLC Update

2010-04-08T14:56:00.000-07:00

So well I was thinking it'd be cool to have a show-but we're still just a newsletter that is having dificulties staying in ink. so the Tv/Web Show's on hold, and we'll be coming bakc with a SLC comeback issue. It'll feature some things we meant to inlcude way before, like Staff Profiles, even givign every staff memeber their own blog, re-attempting twitter. Bear with us as we try to climb the ladder of the internet world. We're looking forward to seeing and gaining our own magazine in the future, help us by spreading the word about us as well keep hitting us up, we're giving a limited promise of not moving again.

Resident Evil: Afterlife

2010-04-05T17:17:00.000-07:00

Today my favorite show ATOS [Attack of the Show] showed teh preview for REsident Evil: Afterlife, and it looks promising, we know the thought that's going through your mind 'Do they really need another one?' Well to be entirly honset we're not really sure, but we do know that this one looks to be the climax of the thought trilogy. Alice sports a darker look, as well as gaining new allies, that I'm guessing adapted the virus, and made it there own. Even Heroes own Ali Larter [Obessed] shows up in the dark look as well. We're hoping for the best, it's Coming Soon, (September 10).

Unfortunately there's no way to provide you all with the video since it was an AOTS exclusive [and we don't wanna be drowned in leagl suits], so you're gonna have to wait unless you knew and waited like we did. Our advice find another source to see it; to add to the sadness it claims to fall into the 3D trend; so when you get there, like us you'll have to decide if it's worth the extra 'D'. [Like some movie out there, starts with an 'A' ends in an 'R', ugh so bad, in 3D]

-Domioku

People We'd Like To See Comeback

2010-04-02T18:41:00.000-07:00

Music Wise:
Dynamic Duo for one, they not only had the hip-hop, rap feel down but they were exceedingly good at producing hits as well as smashing stage performances. It'd be nice to see them comeack this year along side Rain, Lee Hyori and 2NE1 [hopefully].
Anther group that's been on alot of peoples' minds is Big Bang, though they have come out with another Lollipop CF it's ont totally garunteed that they'll be releaseing or even colaborating fro another album; sad but true, it's up in the air. [Even solo albums would be enoughto satisfy us, G Dragon, and Tae Yang]
Epik High was on the list but tey deserve a break, they've done over several albums non-stop have a nice break Tablo, and Mithra, and come back with even more power, I'm looking forward to it.

Acting Wise:
Rain [Bi], he did really good as an assassin, in the movie Ninja Assassin, as did Lee Joon, so we'd like to see him back on the big screen as well.
Van Ness Wu, was fucking spactacular in Autumn's Concerto, I was so wrapped up in it, to do work Jiinx had to take away my computer, and I hand wrote a lot of my articles, so emabarasing :P
We wouldn't mind seeing Show Lou, back on the mini screen, we haven't heard of him comingout with anything so we' added him; we miss his cute comedic acting, it was espacially great in Hi My Sweetheart, when he acted with one of my favorite female actors, Rainie Yang, I hope she comes bakc as well.
Oh the gorgeous Kingone Wang, and Mike He, who wouldn't wanna see them at thier ouse on tier television-oh come on, i know i would. The last time i saw Kingone, was when he was playing a baddie on Black &White, which was awsome by the way, i loved all teh actors in that and wouldn't mind seeing Vic Zhou back on thescreen.
Li Ji Ah was another wonderful woman who we wanted ot see weekly, she did fabulous in Style, as did Lee Yong Woo, but we'd like to see her more, than in a mini drama on Telecinema.

Hopefully they find a way.
Just some of our, mostly mine, opinions. It'd make me very happy to see my favorites on the screen again.
Pus through 2010 everyone :]

LOLITA [03.19.10]

2010-03-28T20:45:00.001-07:00

Lolita is a fashion subculture originating in Japan that is influenced by Victorian clothing with undertones of Gothic fashion mixed in. No one really knows when exactly the movement started but it likely started in the 70’s when famous labels including Pink House and Angelic Pretty began selling clothes that you might call ‘Lolita’ today. Over time Lolita fashion became popular through bands such as Malice Mizer. The word Lolita, though often associated with the novel by Vladimir Nabokov, actually has nothing to do with sex. In fact those with partake in the Lolita movement often prefer to look ‘beautiful’ or ‘cute’ rather than ‘sexy’. The irony of the name is that the fashion was created to fight the growing exposure of the body and skin in today's society. It is often assumed that girls who dress in Lolita follow a Lolita 'lifestyle' where they try to emulate the mannerisms and etiquette of the Victorian era. Although some do choose the Lolita lifestyle, some just really enjoy wearing the clothes for fun. As for the majority of Lolita, it is simply a style or a statement of modesty. Hurray for modesty!

Music Sect [02.22.10 - 03.05.10]

2010-03-28T20:11:00.000-07:00

Elva Hsiao and Show Lou came out with Wow recently and it’s damn good, great beat, nice rhythm. It’s catchy too, a friend of mine couldn’t stop dancing to it for awhile.

Clazziquai also came out with a goody, Ping, the song’s very nice and it’s techno feel is welcoming to our ears. It seems Tell Yourself has brought on a new leaf for the group.

One Way is a new and upcoming boy band, that yes, is a bit too similar to Big Bang, but they have their own style as well. They’re to debut March 6 at Music Core and we wish them the best of luck.

They also did a cover of Tae Yang’s Look Only At Me, it does show the main vocalist[s] similarities to Tae Yang’s voice as well as the rapper’s . The members are Chance, Peter and Young Sky. We wish them well.

KARA’s Lupin is just as popular as any other single coming from the cute girl band. The video may feature the overused concept of black and white back drops with contrasting outfits but that doesn’t matter [though it bugged me], the songs pretty catchy.

What else is there to cover I’m not sure. Oh well we could talk about othe news in the music world like…

Some sad news we read in the music world last and this week was the our favorite Park Jeabeom won’t be returning to 2PM, as planned last week. Too much had happened for him to return. In response to this a couple of fan clubs have shown their distastes of the situation very clearly by stand outside of JYPE in protest, as well as bombarding Teacyeon and Wooyoung with dumbass messages, and it seems they’re being targeted because they’re the most active by far in the group. We feel upset too, but it’s not the members faults guys, in fact they wanted him to come back as well, this was all Jay’s idea. JYPE also sent out a letter explaining it all, but I think that may have caused a bit more trouble than helping matters. But we just thought we’d let Jay know we’ll always support him in no matter what he decides to do.

Now songs that you should add to your music list from Asia:

2NE1—Try To Follow [Copy] Me

One Way—Magic

2PM— Tired Of Waiting

Clazziquai Project—Ping

Elva Hsiao—Wow ft. Show Lou

KARA—Lupin

Some song’s that should’ve been in your playlist awhile ago from Asia:

Wonder Girls—Nobody

Tae Yang—Sinners

Fading Star—Wheesung

Picks—Guan Yu Wo Men (About Us)

BoA—Bump Bump

Top 10 Dramas Domioku’s Watched [Until 2009] {03.05.10}

2010-03-28T13:49:00.000-07:00

All’s opinionated and I am sorry if a star reads this and is mad they didn’t make top five, I will be adding the second half of the list inside, the front page is just for those who made the top five. Ikuyo!

One: Black & White [Bottom Right], starring Vic Zhuo, Mark Zhao, and Ivy Chen. The story as you can read on streaming sites featuring it on their playlists, it’s about two cops as different as yin and yang, they end up trying to work together to solve a giant case, only to find out one of them is linked to the triads. The story has many plot twist, I think it should get an award for it. It had me on the edge of my seat tons of time, it had engrossed through out the whole series. Second to top of my must watch list.

Two: Autumn’s Concerto, it was about two, I believe destined lovers, who started out great then went through trial that forced them to separate; the couple is Van Ness Wu, and Ady An, do you need to hear more? But anyway they end separating, and Van Ness ends up with memory loss, forgetting all about Ady, and it’s sol sad. To top if off Ady’s got a kid, and is it his? It’s on my must watch list.

Three: Why Why Love this one also stars Rainie, Mike, and Kingone just like Devil Beside You, they even play similar roles but Rainie’s role is different., just a bit. Must watch.

Are you seeing a pattern, top fives are a must watch.

Four: It’s a Taiwanese drama, I think I watched this before Devil Beside You. Raine, Kingone, and Mike are just a wonderland not to be tampered with. The story as I’ve written before is about a girl, Rainie, who’s mom falls in the love with the school’s head person, who turns out to be Mike’s dad. And Mike plays the school’s bad ass, while Kingone is stuck as the aspiring basketball player, with romance troubles. In the beginning, Kingone and Raine like each other, but then out of nowhere Mike likes her too, then they get together only to face so much trouble. Sigh, so going to watch again, you should watch too.

Five: Shining Inheritance, a Korean dram; it’s similar to Cinderella save the magical rodents and musical numbers. It’s pretty modern day, but this time Cinderella started off rich, then went poor only to find herself unable to fend for herself and autistic little brother. She gets troubled by a rich boy and he causes even more trouble for her, and all of it’s over a bag that they both happened to had and got mixed up. Aigoo! In the end they begin to fall for one another despite the ones that currently love them.

Six: Pasta [left] is a Korean drama that actually came out a few weeks ago and is already on episode 15 and 16. It comes on twice a week so that’s twice the goodness; I’m not gonna go into depth since I go into to the right, but just know if you’re bored and wanna go outside the box of Taiwan or Japan, try this. And it features a familiar face besides Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Sun Gyun, it’s got Clazziquai’s male vocalist Alex, as a male co-lead actor. Wow, who knew he could act.

Seven: Remember that manga Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi no Henge [bottom right] , that turned into a anime well now it’s a drama staring the always cute Kamenashi Kazuya, who also stared in the manga to drama One Pound Gospel.

Eight: Down With Love [bottom left], another drama from Taiwan with the main actors being Ella Chen, Jerry Yan, and Michael Zhang. Are those familiar faces or what. It’s pretty good and on it’s fourth episode definitely a need to see.

Nine: Hi My Sweetheart , I’ve already mentioned this drama about three times so I don't’ think I need to say more all you need to know is that it made top ten, and you need to go see it if you still haven’t.

Ten: Biscuit Teacher and Star Candy [bottom], ever watch Gokusen, drama or aniem is fine, if you’ve seen that then you’ll be shocked by this one. The teacher has no relations to the mafia, she’s pretty down to earth, all she wants to be is a teacher at the school she once caused trouble for. As she accomplishes this goal she falls for one of her students. It’s a good used storyline done with some improvement.

Now go watch some dramas.

Utter randomness, we know.

Autumn’s Concerto & Hi My Sweetheart [01.29.10]

2010-03-28T13:44:00.000-07:00

So lately I’ve been dabbling a little further into the Asian drama world and I found Hi My Sweetheart [Right] and Autumn’s Concerto [Bottom Left]. Both are quite interesting and worthy of watching.

Hi My Sweetheart features the three very famous Rainie Yang, Alan [Show] Lou, and Lee Wei; all three make a superstar cast equal to Rainie, Kingone, and Mike from Why Why Love, and Devil Beside You.

The drama’s about a mean, rich woman, named Bao Chu Jie [Rainie], and a rich boy going to college away from home [Alan (Show)], while using a false name, modeled after his favorite show, Pink Panther.

The two go through many trials including fire rescues, and amnesia, as well as other life threatening instances.

The final episode is to come out next week supposedly, hopefully the fansubbers can keep up the good work and bring the drama to the people on time.

Autumn’s Concerto, stars the ever handsome [and damn sexy], Van Ness Wu [sigh], and Ady An.

The story fro this one is a bit similar; Van Ness, plays a law student who falls in love with the poor girl, Ady An, who’s being abused and harassed by her father. He defends her in a case and begins to fall even harder for her, so hard he got into an accident, then the usual ‘you leave my son alone, for this amount of money’ conversation comes up initiated by Van Ness’s mom. He chases her until he’s left out of breath crying as she leaves, only to be stabbed. Damn I know.

That was only the beginning the story progresses even further, and gets even more twisted up.

The eighteenth episode is to be released next week as well. So if you’re bored and wanna try something new, YouTube these dramas.

God Of War III [01.29.10]

2010-03-28T13:39:00.000-07:00

Oh hell yeahs, the demo is finally out, no I’m not lying it is really out with a reservation of the game at GameStop. If you don’t preorder you ain’t getting’ it, that’s all there is to it.

It was [pardon my language] fuckin’ gorgeous, I was hyperventilating so much my gaming buddy had to take the controller away from me and play it for me [I know I’m a huge dork].

The graphics were amazing as usual, the game play even better than before, you start of in the game owning all of your previous possessions [I believe], and you immediately confront Helios and his minions as one the titans terrorizes the city for you.

The detail of blood, and muscle ripples on Kratos were just superb. I don’t even know why I’m trying the mention the demo, when the whole gaming world knows the game will bring tears to everyone’s eyes from its beauty.

All I have to say fro the game is this, I don't’ even need to do this, just wait till March 16 [2010], when it comes out and you'll see it earned the 5/5 it’s going to get on X-Play, and IGN.

If you haven’t already preordered do so now, or buy it as soon as it comes out.

*This articles pics were found off of Bing*

Some bonus news is that the creators want to keep the franchise going by creating more games in Kratos’ name. I personally don’t know if it’s a good idea but the people seems to want it. Good Luck

Remember March 16;

GET IT

Cartoon Network Just Keeps Degrading [01.29.10]

2010-03-28T13:30:00.002-07:00

Been leaving your once favorite channel alone for awhile? No worries you’re not the only one, me and the SLC staff have been as well; lately the channel seems to be lacking what it had back in the day.

We feel it’s only a matter of time before it’s strictly for little children, they’ve lost quite a few of there older viewers, most of them transferring over to late night [Adult Swim], or just plain not watching their channel.

Looking back, it’s apparent this was bound to happen, when Toonami was taken off the set list. The loss, took quite a chunk out of their viewer ratings. Another hit was when most of the old cartoons normally shown were replaced with childish cartoons the resembled SpongeBob Squarepants in different arts and plot lines. Take for example The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, it was an on land version of the Nickelodeon show. Or the overly food related Chowder, is another show that fails to gain our interest. Even the continuation of those childhood shows, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh, should’ve ended a long time ago.

What was going through the CN network execs mind. Eh?

An even sadder attempt to improve themselves was the moment they decide to include CN Real, reality tv, on Cartoon Network. Straying from the ’toon’ theme didn’t do anything but create more chaos for them as well as the fans.

We have no idea what there planning next, though they do have a new show coming up very soon, we hope they’ll stop and back track a bit—it just ain’t the same anymore, and we’re not liking it. They’ve already let Naruto Shippudden go to Disney XD [though not many people will be watching that either].

Give us back out Toonami, that’s all SLC wants.

Oh Miss Bayonetta [01.29.10]

2010-03-28T13:28:00.000-07:00

I’m sure you’re all aware of the game Bayonetta’s release date [January 8], yeah it was awhile ago, but a friend of ours decided to pick it up, so we took the opportunity to go try it out as well.

To be honest I didn’t expect to like the game very much, but some of its qualities made it bearable, so to speak.

For starters it feels like a Devil May Cry, which isn’t bad if you’re into the genre and feel of games. It has some better points don’t worry. The combat for one is amazing as long as you don't mind seeing a woman in a skimpy suit from time to time, since the suit is her hair. It features nice combos, and abilities that never fail to keep you entertained. She can also pick up defeated enemies’ weapons, nice right? The boss battles are also something to smile at.

The story on the other hand is pretty simple if you look at it, as evil versus good, you being the evil. We (I) didn’t get it; it confused the hell out of us (me). It felt too long and a bit too detailed to some us, while our buddy felt it was fantastic all around. I’m not sure if you’d understand it but I thought I’d just le t you know the game let’s you ski[ the cut scenes, that’s what we did the second go round and it didn’t feel any different from the first game.

What other good points are there, if good game play, and graphics aren’t enough? We didn’t see any, except it was an all around crazy ass game, the kept you trying to execute torture attacks, and initiating witch time while attacking foes.

The bad side is that it has one of the worst soundtracks we’ve ever heard; J-pop fanatics that we are we couldn’t even bare the ‘J-Pop’ featured in the game. The only plus side to it, is the fact that you can turn it off. Trust us you’ll want to do that.

Another down point to the game is that almost everything in the game feels like a sexual euphemism. The hardest level after beating it twice [Normal and Hard] is ‘Non-Stop Climax’, eh, does that not get your mind in the gutter? Even better the final/strongest attack is called the ‘Climax’, which involves her hair, that served as her clothes, completely uncovering everything but her candy jar goodies. [This was a feature I didn’t like, but that can’t be helped.] Even her normal walk is that of not even sultry, more like tramp-ish, though many have tried to defend saying she walks ‘with model grace’, chyeah right! It annoyed me so much I refused to walk in the game. When doing certain actins in the game she’ll even pose like a photo shoot for ya’, I don’t know but this little tidbit also set me off. It may be rated M for Mature [17+], but seriously.

Don’t get the wrong idea [girls], the game is wicked fun, just has a few annoying qualities. The game will definitely bring a smile to your face. The combats crazy, the puzzles, it will keep anyone in their seat for a good minute, it’s great game all around, so if you don’t mind ‘partial’ nudity, English accents, girl fights, crazy gore with sexual themes. Go buy it, it’s worth it [a lot of other groups rated it from 5/5 to 9/10], but if you're like me, you’ll probably rent it, beat it, earn all the achievements, then send it back.

Random Spot: Great Things Thus Far [01.04.10]

2010-03-28T13:16:00.000-07:00

Well to put it simply SLC banned together to list some of the stuff we’ve seen or heard and liked on the job. Yeah that’s it, don’t read if you don’t wanna know about it. They’re not listed in any particular order.

So Nyeo Shi Dae’s [Girls’ Generation’s] song ‘Chocolate Love’ that severed as an endorsement deal as well as a music video; I’d buy the phone.

2NE1’s CL and Minzy/Minji and their song ‘Please Don’t Go’; it is pretty catchy.

Do You Want To Try, a very cute and entertaining manwha [Korean comic]. Has a bit of romance, and drama, mainly for girls-sorry.

Assassin’s Creed II, which was beautiful by the way; the game blows it’s predecessor out of the water, the story’s even more-you go play it, I don’t have enough room.

Vampire Effect, we know it’s an oldy, but we were watchin’ it again and couldn’t help but list as one of the greatest things thus far, go see it! It’s hilarious, and has decent fight scenes.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, yes whatever we’re late, who cares we replayed, and re-finished it. It’s the god-doggone Game of the Year, how could it not be great.

Next Gen Walkthroughs Assassin’s Creed II commentary; one word hilarious.

The PSPgo, is soo damn gorgeous. It does have a downside, you have to move your memory, which is to be expected but you have to re-purchase all UMDs owed, so that they may be digital on the PSPgo. Oh well.

SLC Best of 2009/08 Issue, come one now, how in the world would that not make it?
