opinion on the state of Halo + blog update 11/09/2023


hey, isn't that date familiar? eh, whatever.
i think it's no secret that halo is probably one of the biggest shooter franchises out there. even though it was released on a console behind both playstation and nintendo [something i find funny is how nintendo managed to be the 1st place selling console with their mii games] it was still way too popular.
then bungie decided to dip. and they're never returning. after bungie left [screw brexit the microsoft-bungie seperation was the real event] a ton of shit happened [FIRST REDLUMA CURSE WORD OMGOMG!!!11111!!!] and suddenly 343 started making halo games which made the entire fanbase do a FRICKING RIOT.
Halo 4 was good, even though i've only played like the first mission lmao but it was fun so far. halo 5 was terrible. i'm not someone who cares about stories [until i played hi-fi rush] but halo 5's was just... terrible.
and then infinite. infinite is an okay game, but it just doesn't feel the same as older Halo games. also, it's missing a ton of things from older games: energy sword, Firefight, some others. but honestly, it's fine. it's just fine.
it gets undeserved hate however. seriously, all the comments i've seen on halo's recent posts on Xbox community are just hating on halo - like come on, look at the bright side. at least it's not Halo 5.

you may have noticed that there's a lot more words before a line break. yeah, i'm doing that now.
i want to make this feel like an actual blog instead of a few html tags and a paragraph. i was thinking of moving the blog to Tumblr, but i'm not really sure about that. zonelets seems cool however, might try that. i've also been inspired by the blog used on the Spamton Sweepstakes event [yes i know it's been like a year since that happpened.] so yeah, bye.


MARIO HYPE 01/09/2023

NEW MARIO WONDER TRAILER NEW MARIO WONDER TRAILER
ok i know it's been like about a couple days since the trailer came out but like it's way too good, and it's happening near my midterm break.
and the thing i'm the most excited about are the badges
it's a really cool idea and yes i know they added badges in the previous games [paper mario] but still
also GRAPPLING VINE BADGE. IT'S NOT A GAME WITHOUT A GRAPPLING HOOK. EVERY GAME MUST HAVE A GRAPPLING HOOK.


list of games that i want but don't have 21/08/2023

there's a lot of them. Ultrakill's one of them, and basically everyone knows what Ultrakill is now
then there's Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp, the remakes of the first two advance wars games, since it's better than just emulating them
dark souls III, because yes
and then there's Pikmin 4, simply because Pikmin is a good game series.


2000's rant [moved to blog} 16/08/2023

the 2000's rant didn't need an entire page. so here it is moved
while this website is more of a 1998 looking website, i really like tech and software from the early 2000's. so welcome to my incoherent rant.
i mean come on, aren't wii games still fun in 2023 to the point where people made entire private servers to make online play work again? [yes. yes they are.]
the xbox 360 was amazing too. Halo 3 is still considered the best Halo game of all time and Call Of Duty: Black Ops II is the best COD game in my opinion,
being best experienced on the Xbox 360. and i never had a PS3. i still never had a PlayStation console in my life. honestly the console wars should stop but that's another rant
that i might do in a blog post or something idk. also, MSN Messenger [or Windows Live Messenger, which i usually like to refer to it as, but i'll say MSN because all of you guys
probably remember it as MSN] looked was cool. how do i know that it was cool? escargot.chat, a replacement server. i liked it alot, and it's linked at the bottom of my page
on the MSN Messenger button. [88x31 buttons are the best form of advertising] i'm not sponsored by escargot.chat or anything, i just like the stuff they do.
also, iPods. i like iPods. i actually have an iPod Nano 4th Generation from like 2009, and i really like using it to listen to lofi songs. moving on to more desktop stuff,
Windows 7 was basically the best OS in the said time period, and yes i know Windows XP existed and that was one of the best too. Windows 7 had a design formula on all their apps and the OS itself
that looked cool, and Windows XP had an extremely effective design for it's era, cause it's simple and clean. there's also the other parts of Windows Live, such as Games For Windows Live, which kinda failed,
Windows Live Spaces, which was basically a blog maker by microsoft, the extremely iconic Windows Movie Maker, which was also what we used to make the channel trailer for The Hooligans along with Shotcut.
a weird thing i'm interested in is Macromedia Flash, the animation program. it's now Adobe Animate, but Macromedia Flash seemed cool, and was also the program featured in Animator VS. Animation 1 - 3.
also, R.I.P to Flash, and Flash games. They are still alive through plugins like Ruffle and programs like Flashpoint, but it still sucks that they had to do Flash like that.


console war is stupid 15/08/2023

it's dumb how people still argue which plastic box is better to play their entertaining 1's and 0's on
meanwhile many game devs just publish their game onto every platform. [except for the nintendo switch. i love nintendo but why did they think 30FPS was a good idea]
sure, in the 2000's rant page i mentioned i never had a playstation, but that doesn't mean i hate playstation, i just don't have one. in fact, i really wanted a
ps vita [even though the ps4 was out] and never got one, but it would be cool if i did get one. though there's barely any games for it though. luckily, HOMEBREW-
also, the whole console war thing has been going on since the conception of the Playstation, i mean it literally just exists because nintendo betrayed sony
but it wasn't that big of a deal. except it was a big deal when it released. Sega was also an extreme contender in the console war, until DREAMCAST.
now sega is just helping everyone. my point is, the console war is pointless, i know they're rival companies but the communities can be friends.
it's not that hard.


first blog post??? i guess? 14/08/2023

alright, i don't think this could count as a "blog", as i'm basically just making 2 textboxes on the frontpage.
coding this site hasn't been TOO hard, it just takes alot of time, and i usually need something in the background to entertain me. like right now,
i'm watching a smallant video while typing this out. anyway another thing. my school starts up soon, as well, and I AM NOT READY AT ALL.
i've been so used to sleeping until like 10am to 11am, and now i CAN'T. which sucks, because sleeping is better than sitting in front of someone talking and you then having to write something that doesn't even fricking correlate to the lesson.
anyway i'm done with writing this, i better start getting on the 2000's rant page
