Best of the Year 2011

This has been a looooooong year, there has been good things and bad things...but one of those good things is in videogames without doubt! It has been one of the best years in games and one of the worst years in music (smiley face).

Poisoned Planet

Image
There's a poison in this planet, it makes change people's minds and it let them be easily controlled to do what it wants...this poison is making the planet change into something no one has ever trought it was going to become...a living Hell where everyone is a demon...we are living in a place where there may be a dead body in the middle of a street and nobody cares, that's not a movie what I'm talking about, that's the sadly real life... There is so much suffering in this world nobody can't imagine...everybody, in their sleeps, is being controlled and brain-washed so they can be the slaves they have been for thousands of years, you only have to open your mind and eyes to the real "real" world and see it by yourself, everyday humanity is becoming a little more crazier. Not all people is aware of this, only a small portion of the worldwide population knows this and is fighting in the name of God/Allah/Maker/Creator/Call.Him.whatever.you.want.it's...

Sherlock - Season 1 Review

Image
I have seen this show like a hundred times and never done a full review! That can't be right! What would happen if Sherlock Homes, Dr. John Watson, Professor James Moriarty and all characters created by my favourite writer Conan Doyle lived in the time of today? This TV Show is the answer, and has become the greatest adaptation of the greatest detective. I have been a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes since I was 6 years old watching "The Secret of the Pyramid", since then, never stopped to read his adventures and watching adaptations...I admit it, I am a huge fan of Sherlock and this character is one of my inspirations in life. But that's not the point, this show which the season 2 will start at the beginning of next year, is what matters...the story is a modern adaptation from his old adventures, the creators put the main plot of one of his known cases but they change some parts to make it different and modern...and that's a good thing, they have done it so well...

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - Review

Image
There are some films that are made to become classic movies and other ones that are just "typical" (same story, same actors, same camera work, same special effects). This film made from a novel wisely called "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" is one of those that will become a classic and an Academy Awards nominee for sure. Not only for the story, which is quite entertaining but predictable, the characters and cinematic is very well done. But in my opinion, the best about this film is the actors, their acting is very well made, they may be not quite famous as others, but they are by far better than many others starting with the protagonist Gary Oldman, and actor that can do anything: he always looks different in all his movies, he can do from comedy to action passing to horror, any film he appears is a good reason to watch it and I wouldn't be surprised if he's nominated as best actor next year, he's the greatest thing of the film and one of the most underrate...

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - Review

Image
After watching now all 4 Mission Impossible films, I can say that the last one is without doubt the best one from all. It's like joining the previous three films together: you take the spy-story from the first one, the action scenes from the second and the drama touch from the third. Maybe the only bad thing this movie has is the villain; maybe Philip Seymour Hoffman putted the level too high in the third; he was an amazing bad guy, he didn't had to say a word to look evil. But let's talk about the Ghost Protocol, the story starts with Ethan Hunt (also known as Tom Cruise) in prision, I don't want to spoil the story from the film, but let's say than they fail at a mission and the President starts the Ghost Protocol...that's shutting down the entire IMF and all agents are now enemies from the state/world. Knowing that, Ethan and his group must stop a man who wants to start a nuclear war and so the end of the world (now don't tell me this kind of story is ev...

The ending is unwritten...

Image
At last, Final Fantasy XIII-2 has been released in Japan, there has been lots of reviews and all of them say nothing but good things from it... while I only watched the opening (which is awesome!) I'm not going to see anything more from this game until it comes here (February 2012) but the big surprise I didn't expect is the fact that there are Spoilers: 8 Different Endings! Don't you all think I'm only waiting for this game...there's Bioshock Infinite too! Now's time for the bad news: Christmas is here! And people become meaner than ever, they only thing everyone cares about is for presents, money and having a good time....but I guess they do that during the whole year... While the 92% only cares about themselves and they "think" they are winning, the other percent has to care to survive in this dimension until the day of redemption arrives and we'll have our real present for fightning all these time... I want to let you know something I just ...

Tears of Sadness

Image
This planet and life's itself is coming to a point of no-return, you all can see it by yourselves walking on the street or watching the news (the important ones, not the crappy ones)...people read in the newspaper that 200 people has been killed and they don't care a thing; these people are the same that send 10 dollars to Unicef and they think they are good people when that money is going actually to the goverment of that country and not to the poor; these people are the same that know someone that has done a really bad thing and they don't care about it...these people are the reason why this planet is going to end, and if it keeps going like this, it's going to be soon... These people should be ashamed of themselves, they should kill themselves, they don't deserve to live because they are the main reason why everything is going so bad. I was watching television the other day at 16:00 and there was only violent movies (and by that I mean really violent ones), rea...

Prophecy C*****O

Life continues even for those who await the end... The end is near as the darkness starts to shake... The Light will fulfill the planet and erase the shadows for ever... A prophecy that has been written for centuries... The so called monsters will fight against the evil.... They will even sacrifice themselves for their Creator... The focus must be done or they shall meet death... A Death that only the Devil can compare... The Warriors of Light will fight until their last breath... Their lifes will be filled with suffering for being from Heaven... But their recompense will be the greatest gift... Tears of sadness will never appear from their eyes... For their destiny has been since thu born... Never give up their feelings as they were they own skin... Blade and shield against the shadows even if their life have to sacrifice... As the greatest gift will save all the truth humanity...

A Final Fantasy Story - Part II

Image
"When Life Gives You Lemons...Don't Make Lemonade!" by Cave Johnson from Portal 2, how right you were, Mr. Johnson.... I remember when I watched the news and believed them...when someone said "aliens" and I trought "Yes, that movie is awesome!"...but all that didn't last long as I was forced to join a group where I discovered that all that were just lies to fool humans, yes, humans...because all the ones that are living on Earth are not just humans and animals, there are something else that has been here for hundreds (maybe thousands) of years wanting to dominate humanity and the world...you may asking why, and there's a reason that if I could be able to say it, you will be able to understand EVERYTHING that has been happening in the last 10 years...but I can't say it yet, and maybe I never will. Their mission is becoming to an end, and yes, you may be in their control, they already have done what they wanted to all humans and they are ...

Mass Effect can be funny...

Just wanted to share with you all those two comics from the famous RPG Mass Effect 2, I think they are pretty funny! 

A Final Fantasy Story feat. Lightning

Image
You know if you're a L'Cie or not, those people are also known as Guardians choosen by the Goddess Etro to protect her/his rules even if only you have to obey them, that's enough for Etro... Being a guardian isn't easy, you must forget about simpathy and don't let others take control of you and your life. Your mind and strength is what counts, both are the same, they can take both things away from you and then you are in what is known as Hell. That's what life's about, try to go to Hell like everybody wants: making the planet a new hell to live. Isn't there any solution? There's a way to go what the L'Cie (the choosen ones) want; the other dimension, a place where only the choosen ones and the edilions (the ones that help the choosen ones) can go, but by arriving there you must sacrifice your life...and what's life?? Sacrifice life is not death, is to avoid being like others, not being a citizen, being a L'Cie and running always from ...

Born to Be My Baby

This song is dedicated to the woman I love... "Born to Be My Baby" by Bon Jovi Rainy night and the worked all day We both got jobs caus there's bills to play We got something they can't take away Our love, our lives Close the door, leave the cold outside I don't need nothing when I'm by your side We got something that'll never die Our dreams, our pride My heart beats like a drum (all night) Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright) And I'll never let go causeThere's something I know deep inside You were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man We got something to believe in Even if we don't know where we stand Only God would know the reasons But I bet he must have had a plan Cause you were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man Light a candle, blow the world away Table for two on a tv tray It ain't fancy, baby that's ok Our time, our way So hold me close better hand on tight Buckle up, baby, ...

Master of Puppets

What would you do if you knew which day you are going to die?? Would you kill someone else so you could save your own life?? Would you sacrifice yourself in order to save one hundred lives from people you don't know?? I am not goint to answer this questions, and I don't want you either, because one thing is what you know is right and the other thing is what you'd really do....or in other words: what you'd really do and what they have put in your head to do. This sounds non-sense to you, I know, it sounded like this to me a couple of years ago! But after you see the madness this world really has, it changes your mind...and that's a bad thing for society in today's world... All this is from somewhere else, another world, another dimension, another reality...an escape from reality, the reality the goverment and the real rulers of this planet want you to see...but it's not the real one, not even close... You are living in a prison, an asylum, a zoo...and...

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Review

Image
:: SKYRIM :: review So at last! The most anticipated game of the year has been released, what it worth all this waiting? I really think it was... I'm not going into the game's story, I hate spoiling stuff, so let's say you are a Dragon Son and are the only one who can defeat those amazing creatures, there's a war in between this story and that's it! I'm not saying anything else... This game has a free open world, you can go anywhere and go the hundreds and hundreds of missions that has apart from the main story. There are five big cities and lots of dungeons and smaller "cities" where you can go and do whatever you want. The fights are quite good, not as bad as people say but what I think it's great is the magic and Shouts. The dragons are just amazing, it feels great when you kill your first dragon, like you accomplished something. The only problem this game has is that there are some "forgettable" bugs and you may lose your rea...

Lightning's back, Better than ever...

Image
I know what you all are thinking..."this dude is so freakin' obsessed with Final Fantasy XIII-2!!", well, I am and I am not, so I don't give a damm what you think :) Yes, you all know FFXIII-2 has been announced, but when I say Lightning's back I mean...in the official game cover!! She looks amazing with her new armour/outfit and the feather's give a divine sensation (actually it's part of the game the why she has feathers). They say the game is three years after the events from the first game, and other say it's ten years...so that means whe will be 24 years old or 31 years old...this was just a fun fact. Game is coming the 3rd February 2012, let's hope the world is still in one piece by that day, if not, well, I don't care, I will play the game sometime later, but she will always be there....there......

Don't Give Up

If you don't get in society, then you're a nobody....nobody cares about you, nobody helps you...what do you have to do to have a good life? Bad things: get drunk, take drugs, be a sexual addictive, go to party all nights and then everyone will help you, but if you're not like this and you have real problems from real situations...then you are screwed. They will do anything to change your personality to be like them, and I remark "anything"...they will try from your family to your friends, from your hobbies to your habits, until the day arrives and you, accidentaly, will fall into the trap. You don't have to, you must be strong and do all you can to avoid this, because if you don't, you will die spiritualy. I know you may not believe this, but I also know some of you do, because you feel this way: you feel different than the others and people say you must change for your future, don't do it, if you have to be a rebel against humanity, be, because if...

The Adventures of Tintin - Secret of the Unicorn : Review

Image
I loved Tintin when I was a kid, haven't read all the comics, but most of them and when I heard Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson were doing a Tintin film, I got excited: two of the greatest directors making a real one of the best comic stories. If you watch this film, you may get angry because they putted together three comics in one film, but they did it very well. I enjoyed to see them in real-life; the film may be CGI but it's so well done they look like real people...and seeing my favourite character, Captain Haddock, in real, is the best thing. Haddock has been my favourite and, my personal opinion, the best character made in the entire Tintin's story/books, and he looks so real and funny in the film, even he has more protagonism than Tintin himself, and that's one of the things I liked it. The other characters are very well done, they look and act like in the comics but with more realism, Tintin was very plain, but he's the same way in the comics, so that...

Choose your Heart or your Destiny

So many things I have seen in my life but what I never have found is a feeling, a special feeling that never have seen anyone to feel it or even myself...maybe. That feeling is called love, something that in the world of today doesn't exist: the "love" that people call it these days is just pleasure without inner feelings, and that was the only thing that separated the humans to the animal kingdom. Now that difference is gone...congratulations, now humans are animals... These days...well, weeks...I've been thinking about what is the real love; no one has ever felt it and neither I. My question is if the life, the future, the destiny that awaits could all be changed because of that. I personally don't think so because I'm very strong-minded, it's very difficult-almost-impossible to change my mind, but in the case someone finds his true love (or soul mate, call it however you want), it would have to be someone very very VERY special to change my mind, s...

The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim

Image
I want to confess that the first day I played Fallout 3, it was 5 hours with no-stopping, and for the next days I played it it wasn't less than 4 hours. It was very adictive, you were able to do anything, literally. Then Fallout: New Vegas was a letdown, as much as I love Fallout 3, I prefer to wait and see what they do in Fallout 4, because I'm sure it will be awesome. But why am I talking about this? Because the same studio, called Bethesda, is releasing next month a new awesome game called "Skyrim", and it already looks amazing, it already has won a few awards without being released yet. The graphics look awesome, they look almost real, the sound and music is as good as an Oscar-winning film (if don't believe me, listen this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdRzllhgRyg ) And the best part is the gameplay: you can do anything as well, and the main story is about dragons...yes, you will have to defeat dragons, and the fights look awesome. And about the...

Johnny English Returns

Image
: Johnny English Returns Review : Forget James Bond and Ethan Hunt, Johnny English is the man to save the world! I always enjoy a comedy film, but when Rowan Atkinson is in one, laughs are guaranteed: he makes comedy being completely serious, he makes you laugh without trying to be funny: and that's the best comedy of all, and he's the best doing it! This film starts with English being suspended from his job by a mistake that he did (don't want to spoil anything) but then he is resigned after the MI5 knows that someone is trying to kill the Prime Minister. I liked to see Gilliam Anderson on it, I always remember her as Scully from the X Files, so it's good to see her again on the big screen. But don't forget, the star is Rowan and he's amazing, even in the action scenes or in the after credits scene (watch it, it's quite tasty) The Best: Rowan and his comedy, enough said....and way better than the first movie. The Worst: It has no intrigue, quite ...

Batman Arkham City - Review

Image
The first Arkham Asylum was an amazing surprise: never has been a super-hero videogame as great as Batman A.A....but now after this sequel, an even more awesome game comes alive with Arkham City. Set a few months after the ending of the first game, here it starts with Bruce Wayne taken to the city prision bu Dr. Hugo Strange, the smartest villian in Batman, knowing that he is the Dark Knight, Batman has to come to the "rescue" visiting some old friends and villians...the best surprise was Catwoman, better than ever (and if you have the code to play as her even better!) and Joker's comeback...I always liked the Joker, but this one is by far the greatest ever made. I'm not spoiling anything, because the story of the game is quite interesting, but you'll have more freedom, more secondary missions, more "bad guys", more gadgets and (Small Spoiler coming up) more Riddler!! He was one of my faves in the first game, this one he comesback crazier than ever.....

I am Back

Holy Moly! It has been a month since I haven't wrote here... You know why? Because it has been a weird month, so many things can happen to you because of the potatoes or the new kind called "super-potatoes", things you could never imagine...they do such stuff everywhere...even now I discovered a new way they use...they control people with food and drinks! But I'm only saying that, nothing more. In a few days, Halloween will come, again...and people will disguise in horrible things, again...but you know the worst part? Why do I not get scared with those things yet I do get scared with normal people? I was kidding about that part....not! Anyway, let's hope or pray that people start chancing once and for all, because soon, well, you-know-what-can-happen and you-know-whose-fault-will-be.

A Potato Story Part II : The Revenge of the Apples

Image
After potatoes won the war against the cucumbers, they lived very happy doing what they always loved to do: be a potato. They were in love with themselves so much than they started changing the cucumbers to popatoes in any possible way. Disguises were first, then there was operations and then brain-washing/chancing/"OMG Where's my brain?" stuff. But from somewhere, the almighty apples were watching and they didn't like what the potatoes were doing to the cucumbers, so they send an apple to live with them and try to change their minds and go against the real potatoes. The apple failed and became one of them for a short time, then after a long time the apple's brain cameback and it noticed what it did, so much he was suffering than the apple went back with his/her friends. A thousand years later, all was potatoes...even a new level of potatofullis (an even more stupid potato). The apples were sick to see this disaster and they decided to send another apple to th...

Sin, Sin, Sin

Image
Everybody is a sinner, if you don't believe me, read the Ten Commandments list and you'll see how you have made at last one of them: I must say, I love this picture, it reflects how much these "orders" must be made, and no one even cares... Now let's talk about my favourite part: The 7 Deadly Sins: Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation. Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Cove...

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Preview

Image
Ok, I think I know enough things about this upcoming game to make a preview. The game starts just when the last one ended, but now with something different; Lightning's missing. Three years later she's now in a different dimension called Valhala where she's a warrior from the Goddess Etro and must protect the city (still don't know why). But a man called Kaias wants something she wants as well, that's why they keep fighting and he looks like the "bad guy". At the same time, Lightning's sister, Serah, is looking for her and her husband-to-be who is missing too. While in the way she meets Noel (no, it's not Santa Claus related) who knows Lightning and says she's waiting for Serah to do something (what? I don't know!). And there's more, Noel comes from the future and he's a time traveller, but his future everything is destroyed and he's the last human alive. That's for the story, now let's talk about the rest: Graphic...

The Future can't be changed

Image
While writing the review of Deus Ex HR, I was thinking about the future...if you watch the news, what future do you see? I only see darkness, evil everywhere, a future where no one could be able to go out their homes because of the madness that there will be on the streets. The "rulers" of this world know this and they want this because that's what they always planned: No future for the human race. And you ask yourself "But Johnny, why do they want to destroy the human race?" I'm glad you asked! And the answer is quite hard to explain, but here's a sentence that will resume it: They don't want to destroy it because they already did (in a different way that you are thinking...yes, I know what you are thinking now and it's not like that). And all this can't be changed...not now, there has been lots of opportunities that you all missed, maybe because you all are too blind or too stupid, I don't know, but the future can't be changed, ...

Deus Ex Human Revolution - Review

Image
I love this title, it sounds so futuristic and real at the same time, it sounds like the title of a movie or a book but it's a videogame, and a good one with a great story...better than many books and I'm a writer so I know what I'm talking about! Set in 2027, you are Adam Jensen, the security chief for one of the game's most powerful corporations, Sarif Industries. After a devastating attack on Sarif's headquarters, Adam is forced to undergo radical surgeries that fuse his body with mechanical augmentations, and he is embroiled in the search for those responsible for the attack. I don't want to spoil anything, you'll have to see it by yourself, but I can tell you there are things about angels, good and evil, humans and non-humans, Illuminatti, etc. The game features shooting, RPG style upgrades, stealth, hacking and social life, with lots of interacting and multiple choices in every way (you can choose to kill a bad guy or leave it alive, save an innocen...

Tell Me...

Tell me what's to be different from everyone, Tell me what's to feel sadness everyday of your life, Tell me what's to love someone who doesn't exist, Tell me what's to hear everyone's minds without hearing a thing, Tell me what's to be guilty for your existence, Tell me what's to feel alone in a world filled, Tell me what's to see the passing of time, Tell me what's to know your end, Tell me what's to know the past, the present and the future, Tell me what's to know every language without speaking them, Tell me what's to feel death and live at the same time, Tell me what's to know the lies of everyone, Tell me what's to know the lies of history, Tell me what's to feel your touch and not be there, Tell me what's to see your eyes and not see them, Tell me what's to feel your lips and not kiss them, Tell me that you don't need to tell me, Because what's being told is already known by me. Johnny 'Light...

Lightning is back - Update

Image
After so much speculation, Final Fantasy XIII-2 is coming, and stronger than ever. With a more interesting story about other dimensions, an invisible world and travelling trough time, the cast is back and adding new characters. But, you know, I prefer to talk about Light...Lightning has been missing since the ending of Final Fantasy XIII. She is a knight, protecting the temple of the goddess Etro in Valhalla. Lightning is trying to find a way to free Fang and Vanille from their fate, while being confronted by her fated rival along the way. She now wields a new gunblade resembling a combination of her Blazefire Saber and a traditional sword. Also, Lightning will serve as the narrator for the game. Using Historiacross, different locations or time periods can be selected from the menu. For example, you can select Bresha Ruins in the year AF0005. AF005 is two years after the events of the game, in which you can see the world is lush and green. Fast-forward to the year AF300, and it’s a w...

Trust No One

Image
Believe me, everyone in this dying planet called Earth has its own devil inside and they don't mind to hurt you in any way if they can because that's what they are made for. Yes, humans have been brain-washed for centuries to be easily controlled by the ones who rule this world. They putted their beliefs and culture and way-of-being on the routine of every day so they can have their empire again rised. Don't believe me? I know, because you have been blinded to see the real truth, the truth that they don't want you to see. And you are asking yourself "How do they do that?"... It's easy, by TV, music, films, news, books even food. If not, see by yourself why when the release an apocalyptic film, in the next couple of months all is related to that theme. That's how they control humanity. And then you think "Religion is the way to be in the good side!" You are wrong (again) because all religions have been modified to be in the way "th...
