Hey, everyone. So, I was recently judged for my taste in women. It was assumed that I am attracted slutty women. That's not entirely true. What I am attracted to is a woman that is attracted to me. To disprove the naysayers, I am about to share with you all my top ten celebrity crushes. I would lie to preface this list with saying that I came up with this list when I was like 15. While I still agree with the people, I did have to change the order ( Despite popular belief, my tastes have matured over the years.). Oh, and I left porn stars off the list because of their natural advantage. Sorry, Allie Sinn.
#10) Giada De Laurentiis
For those of you who don't watch the Food Network when bored, Giada De Laurentiis is the hottie that does Everyday Italian. I found out about this gem of a show when I had to sleep on the couch in the living room for a week. One day, I awoke to the the beautiful sight of a woman with huge "personalities" making a sandwich. It was glorious. That right there was the American dream. A perky chick making sandwiches and looking nice doing it. Since then, I have watched the Food Network so much more..... But I still don't know how to make grilled cheese....
#9) Kate Moss
I am a firm believer that everything beautiful needs one flaw. Christina Perri has her bottom teeth, Megan Fox has her toe thumbs, and Kate Moss has her mole. I know many of you are Google-ing it up trying to find out what mole I'm talking about, so I'll just tell you. Kate Moss has a mole on her boob, casting the illusion of a third nipple. A part of me isn't sure if this is indeed a flaw, or just the next step in evolving the tri-boobs from Total Recall. Either way, I like it.
#8) Rachel McAdams
I don't care who says otherwise, Rachel McAdams is fucking beautiful. She was the only reason I was ever able to sit through that depressing Terms of Endearment ripoff, The Family Stone. Sure, the mom is dying of cancer and the family is falling apart, but Rachel McAdams is hot enough that I can overlook that. Hell, shes hot enough that I almost downloaded The Time Traveler's Wife. I'm not saying I watch her movies with my pants around my ankles. I'm just saying I wouldn't be too ashamed if I got caught.
#7) Alessandra Ambrosio
I still remember it like it was yesterday. I must have been ten when I discovered the gold at the end of the rainbow of catalogs in the bathroom. I had been going to the bathroom for years and somehow managed to overlook the wonders of Victoria's Secret. It was like a dream come true. It was an entire catalog of women in panties, and since I grew up with two girls in the house, it was perfectly alright for it to be in the bathroom. God bless the USA.... and what ever country Alessandra Ambrosio is from.
#6) Claudia Black
I don't even know what to say about Claudia Black, so I'll just go through my nerdy milf checklist. Sexy as fuck? Check! Cult science fiction star? Check! Hot accent? You fucking bet! Video games? Did two of my favorites! Speaks at ComicCon? We have a winner! Has a thing for average 20 year old nerds that live in Melbourne Florida? If there is a god, then that will be a yes one day....
#5) Milla Jovovich
Milla Jovovich is probably the only Russian woman I would ever confess my love to. She first peaked my interest in The Fifth Element as Leeloo ( Sexy redhead who beats the shit out of people and exposes herself a lot). Now a days, Milla stars in the Resident Evil movies as Alice, the hottie who survives the zombie apocalypse in tube tops, short shorts, and knee high boots. could she be any more perfect?
#4) Brody Dalle
Brody Dalle is a bad bitch. Being the front woman for The Distillers, Brody could be seen as intimidating as fuck. That intimidation, coupled with her general sexiness, gives her a "When I'm done with you, I'm going to crush up your bones and snort them" vibe. Whats weird is that I am more than ok with that vibe. What can I say, I like when a chick is stronger than me...... I should just stop now, before I fend off any chance of ever having a girlfriend.
#3) Shannyn Sossamon
You may remember her as the hot princess from A Knight's Tale, or the hot druggie chick from Wrist Cutters: A Love Story. I remember her as the hot chick whose name shows up far too often in my google images search history. It doesn't matter how we remember her though, because in the end, she will go down as one of the few women in the world to have perfected the art of the toothy smile. For those of you who do not know the power of the toothy smile, allow me to explain. The toothy smile, when perfected, allows a woman to break into the very soul of a man and enthrall the shit out of him. In this state, she can command him to do anything from pay for her meal to kill a family of seven. The toothy smile is just not fair, but I can't get enough of it.
#2) Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale is a beautiful classy lady. Sure, she's fucking bonkers, but in today's society, that's just considered quirky. I can honestly say, without a shadow of a doubt, Kate Beckinsale is the sole reason for me watching the Underworld movies. They were alright, but it was pretty shitty of the writers to through in that prequel. After about 30 minutes, I had given up any hope of seeing Kate in the leather cat suit and corset, so I shut it off in disgust.
....... I would drink her dirty dirty blood any day. (I'm sorry, I had to say it.)
#1) Ryan Reynolds
It is 2012. I am allowed to have a man-crush without it being gay. Ryan Reynolds lands the #1 spot not because I want to be with him, rather because I want to be him. He is everything I want to be in life. He's charming as fuck, funny a shit, and he's fucking good looking. Sure, he might be a little stupid for breaking up with some of the beauties that he has, but can you honestly say you would even stand the chance that he had with them? That's right, you can't. However, with every great thing comes one fatal flaw...... Ryan Reynolds is Canadian.
There we have it, guys. The list that occupied most of my time at work today is now in front of me. I have to say, I'm not disappointed. I hope all of you guys enjoyed this list and keep coming back for more. If you have any feedback or comments, please feel free to leave them at the bottom. I hope you all have a great night/ day, I need to be getting to some Soul Calibur 5.
Addison out.

Why Don't You Do Right
Hey, everyone. I just wanted to let you guys in on whats been going on with the YouTube channel. Turns out, every bit of footage I had was really distorted. The sound would speed up at some points and be uber slow at others. However, I figured out how to fix that today and can start re shooting. Right now, I'm working on an introductory video. Its going to have a montage of badassery in various video games. Now that I have to re film everything, it might take a while. Don't worry though, we will have everything up and running soon. ( We do still need a name though....)
For the montage, I'm thinking of having some sweet assassinations from Assassins Creed, a dragon take down from Skyrim, killing something huge in Gears of War, Something amazing from Mass Effect, and maybe some mass zombie death clips. I'll be sure to let you all know when it's in its final stages and being posted. Any who, I should get some sleep. Tomorrow is my first day back at work since picking up this damned flu. After two days of staying in flannel pajama pants and being sooooo cold the whole time, I find myself craving the money to buy some adult footie pajamas ( and I still need to pre-order Halo 4 and RE6). Before I go, let me leave you with one bit of advice that will benefit the shit out of everyone. If you are sick and there is even the slightest chance that it is contagious, STAY THE FUCK HOME! If you are not in elementary school, you should know by now that if you go to work with the flu, somebody else is getting sick. That's kind of a dick move. With that, I'm going to try to stop feeling like I've been hit by a bus. I hope you all have a great night/day. And now that you've been playing with the mouse/keyboard/phone, go wash your god damned hands. All those things are disgusting ( I know what else you do on the internet!).

What Lucas Should Have Fixed
Hey, everybody. I went to Star Wars Celebration VI the other day and was given the chance to watch the original trilogy on the silver screen. Being on a bigger screen made me realize that, while awesome, the original trilogy has some bad point. So I came up with a list of 15 things that bug the crap out of me in the trilogy. Some of the things are a little more cliche than others, but they all belong on the list. So here we go, starting at number 15.
15) Sounds in Space
I'm cool with them having sounds in the fight scenes, but did the character really have to hear them? The movie would have really sucked with no explosions and fighting sounds, but I can't stand when there is a sound and C3-P0 goes "What was that?". Space is a Vacuum! There is no sound!
14) Aiming
Why does everyone suck at aiming with the blaster rifles? There is a scope at the top of every single rifle, but the giant fucking bear on the team seems to be the only one that knows that. If the storm troopers ever decided to use the scopes, everyone is screwed.
13) Throwing the Light Sabers
If you really pay attention, every time a light saber is dropped by Luke, it shuts off in seconds. If it needs to be held at all times, then how can Darth Vader throw his and cut down the cat walk that Luke is on? That shouldn't be able to happen.
12) Hiding Luke
So, Obi-Wan did do a good job at placing Leia. However, when it comes to Luke, he really kinda screwed the pooch on that one. When it comes to hiding a kid from his dad, the last place I would hide him is where he grew up. Sure, it was only his half brother, but Anakin grew up there.
11) Dragging Vader through the Death Star
I have a few problems with this one. 1, how does Luke drag Vader through a space station filled with bad guys and never get stopped? If I was tasked with guarding the emperor and failed to do that, I would at least stop the guy dragging my boss away. 2, Why does he drag him? If he was really a master of the force, why not float him to a ship? The tiny green Muppet was able to pull a space ship out of a swamp, and he has to actually carry a limp body through a space station.
10) Luke's Real Father
Am I the only one that's noticed the fact that Luke looks way more like the emperor than that crusty old white dude under the helmet? They both have sunken eyes, butt chins, and nasty ass skin. And if the force runs strong with Luke and his family, then why is Vader the emperor's man slave? If the Skywalkers were stronger in the force, then Vader would be in command. Therefore, I think the Skywalker kids are really Palpatines, and Amidala was a whore.
9) Mod More Ships Like the Falcon
If the Millennium Falcon is just a cheap cargo ship that was modded to evade the empire, than why didn't the rebels just build more of them? Instead of replicating the Falcon, the seem to have invested in shit tons of tiny ass ships that blow up with one shot from a tie-fighter. And for everyone that thinks it wasn't the ship, but Han, Lando, and Chewie's flying that was superior, Why aren't they teaching the rebel how to fly their ships better? If I had Han on the payroll, I wouldn't waste his talents. He would be the top instructor.
8) Building the Light Saber
Ok, when Luke first faces Vader in cloud city, Luke's hand gets cut off and he loses is light saber. At this point, Luke had abandoned his lessons with Yoda, and is trying to rescue Han. When he shows up at Jabba's palace, he has a whole new light saber. What I want to know is where they hell did it come from? Yoda's is like a foot long, he still had his blue one when he left Dagobah, and he didn't return to Yoda until after he rescued Han. Who they hell taught him how to build it? In Kotor, I had to ask the council how to build one. They were gone by this time! Did Luke really just kinda wing it?
7) Ancient Tech?
If light sabers are such an ancient technology, why doesn't everyone have one as a side arm? They block blaster fire way better than any body armor in the galaxy and can cut though anything. If I had any job in the Star Wars universe, a light saber would be my go to tool. Hell, they must be easy to make, Luke did it.
6) Luke's Real Alignment
I'm drawing from one specific scene here. When Luke shows up at Jabba's palace, He does the Jedi mind trick to one dude. That's cool, every Jedi does it, and others try to do it in normal lives. What bothers me is when the Gamorrean Guards show up to stop him, Luke (dressed all in black) gives them force heart attacks. Personally, I see this as being way more dark side than force lightning. He essentially performed the cruciatus curse on a muggle. In Harry Potter, that's illegal. In Star Wars, that's a dark side move.
5) If You Really Knew All Along.....
When Luke tells Leia that she is his sister, she isn't that surprised. She even goes as far as to say she always knew. If she always knew that they were related, then why did she kiss him? Instead of simply acting surprised, she went for the know-it-all look and made herself out to be into that sort of thing. It's not like they are from West Virginia. Incest is weird.
4) Robot Hand
At the end of Return of the Jedi, Vader is being shocked by the emperor. This causes his suit to stop working, and in turn kills him. How is it when Luke is being shocked, his robot hand is still able to function? With that amount of electricity, anything mechanical is fried. Was it the "magic" glove that Luke was wearing? Or was it bad over-acting on Hamill's part?
3) Worst Armor Ever
Storm Trooper armor is shitty. It's constricting, doesn't defend against blaster, and isn't really designed to hide out in the woods either. You would think it would have some sort of redeeming quality. However, when the Ewoks join the fight near the end of Return, we find out it doesn't even help them against tiny bears with arrows and sticks. If your armor is so bad that a tiny bear can stab through it with a sharp stick, it might be time for an upgrade.
2) Why Wasn't Chewie Their God?
When Chewie activates the trap on Endor and everyone is taken captive by the Ewoks, the Ewoks see a scrawny gay robot and believe that he is their god. My question here is " Why the fuck didn't they think Chewie was their god?". Chewie is a 9 foot tall version of those tiny bears, and they just tie him up and try to cook him? What the shit, Lucas?
1) GO TO THE OTHER SIDE!!!
This one pisses me off the most. When the ships show up at the end of Return and find out that Han didn't take down the shields, they fly in front of the Death Star and try to wait it out. Once the Death Star starts taking out ships, they move on to fighting Star Destroyers and hoping the Death Star doesn't fire again. I may not be an admiral with a fish head, but I am pretty sure i have a solution for you guys. Instead of flying around the big ass gun that can only fire in one direction, go to the other side of the fucking station. There is only one big ass gun, and it shoots straight. Stay the fuck out of its line of fire.
Don't get me wrong, I love the original trilogy, but somethings just piss me off. I'm sure I could do a whole list on the other trilogy, but I feel like it's bad enough without me pointing out every one of it's flaws. However, if enough people ask me to, I will watch them all again and make that list. Any who, I hope everyone has a great night/ day. I'm going to attempt to get over this flu by getting to bed early tonight. Peace.

15) Sounds in Space
I'm cool with them having sounds in the fight scenes, but did the character really have to hear them? The movie would have really sucked with no explosions and fighting sounds, but I can't stand when there is a sound and C3-P0 goes "What was that?". Space is a Vacuum! There is no sound!
14) Aiming
Why does everyone suck at aiming with the blaster rifles? There is a scope at the top of every single rifle, but the giant fucking bear on the team seems to be the only one that knows that. If the storm troopers ever decided to use the scopes, everyone is screwed.
| Totally has a scope! |
13) Throwing the Light Sabers
If you really pay attention, every time a light saber is dropped by Luke, it shuts off in seconds. If it needs to be held at all times, then how can Darth Vader throw his and cut down the cat walk that Luke is on? That shouldn't be able to happen.

A Day in the Life of a Star Wars Nerd
Hey, everyone. I just got back from Star Wars Celebration VI, and I have the count for you. I counted 67 different Slave Leias. By 5:30, I figured I had tapped out at 66, and I was very content with that. I even started to make up a parody of the song "88 Lines About 44 Women". However, as I was contemplating the chorus, I spotted a new one. On the balcony overlooking the entrance I noticed the uniqueness of a very steampunk Slave Leia and promptly ended the song development. For a while, my uncle kept accusing me of double counting the S.L.'s, but he soon noticed that I was passing up on a few of them. I had to explain to him that, as a twenty year old heterosexual, I have photographic vision when it comes to scantily clad women.
Don't get me wrong, Celebration VI was more than just the S.L.'s and sexy Boba Fetts. They had so many booths, shops, displays, conferences, activities, and everything else you can imagine. When we first showed up, the 501st was doing a big formation in front of the main area. After the tucking and weaving to reach the entrance, the fun began. Some people may not realise this, but if there is someone showing up to a convention in a costume, they really want people to compliment it and ask for a picture. If you were to show up anywhere dressed like a member of the kiss army, would you get mad if someone asked for a picture? No, otherwise, you would just dress to blend in. I got some great pictures with people. I got one with Ezio Auditore, Bender, a female Jawa, The Emperor, an Australian storm trooper, and so many more. All you have to do is ask, and they will rarely say no to a picture.
They did have a large assortment of shops, but only a few really caught my eye. One was the sweet biker jackets. They had the built in body armor, and they were themed. They had a Boba Fett jacket, storm trooper jacket, and a sweet Batman Jacket. The Batman one will run you about $1500 though. To me, that's a bit ridiculous. The next one to catch my eye was amazing. It's like While E. Coyote decided to make and Addison trap. They had one side of a stand loaded up with Captain America props ( The best super hero ever) and the other had Thor's helmet and Mjolnir! The props were a look and not touch deal, but they did have posters. Leave it to me to go to a Star Wars convention and buy the only non-Star Wars thing. I bought a Captain America war support poster that promoted buying war bonds (It's so awesome!). The third, and final, vendor to catch my eye was Jumpin Jammerz. This is a company I would have loved to have heard about when I was trying to make a Max (Where the Wild Things Are) costume. Jumpin Jammerz actually sells adult footie pajamas! How awesome is that? They have a bunch of different themes, and will even be coming out with a Marvel theme soon. So, if you remember the feeling of being little and thinking the footie pajamas gave you super human agility, you should totally go to the site and buy some ( I know I am come next paycheck). As for the below picture, I can't resist a woman in footie pajamas asking me if I would like to feel her. It's a weakness of mine.
| A memorable #60 |
| He actually had a hidden blade.... where was security? |
I never actually took part in any of the activities, because they were mostly dealing with legos. For some very strange reason, the majority of the Star Wars fan base is addicted to legos. I for one hate legos with a passion. I hate them so much, that when I die, my own personal hell will be based on the lego shop in Downtown Disney. The idea of having kids play with blocks that snap together to build things is ok, but it is so not ok when the pieces are so tiny that walking through a living room becomes a sharp annoying minefield. And why the ridiculous prices? You shouldn't have to spend that much for the pieces to build a toy that you cant even play with when it's built. I tried helping someone build a Millennium Falcon once, and stopped when I found out that he was opting for not filling it with fireworks or road flairs. I just don't see the point, and I can't stand how crazed children get at the very mention of the company. I hate them so much, that I refuse to capitalize the word lego. I could be talking about the company its self, or the product. To me, the capitalization of a proper noun requires a certain amount of respect for the name. I have nothing but disdain for all things lego.
After all the festivities, my uncle, cousin, and I relaxed in the big theater room and got to watch the original trilogy on the wall. And let me tell you, it was amazing. As a twenty year old, the only "Star Wars movie" I saw on the silver screen was The Phantom Menace ( The next two were lame, so I waited until they hit dvd rental). I finally got to laugh in a movie theater as Darth Vader says " I felt him..." or when Luke said " It's in you, you must feel it.". While I thought those lines were hilarious and couldn't help but laugh, I'm pretty sure every light saber in the room became ready to cut me down.
All in all, Celebration VI was awesome. Next time ( two years from now ) I plan on having a Han Solo costume ready, and bump up my experience just a little more. As for now, I am left with a few discrepancies in the original trilogy that will make for a great list tomorrow night. As always, I hope you all have a great night/day. Feel free to comment. If you have any issues with the movies, I would love to add them to the list.

Celebration VI!!!!!!
Hey guys, this is going to have to be a really quick one. I just go back from work ( only made $20 today) and have to get some sleep for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the big day! Star Wars Celebration VI is finally here, and I am going o enjoy every minute of it from my Red bull haze. There were some sad changes however. Instead of myself, my mom, my old boss, my uncle, and my cousin going, it has been shortened to just my uncle, cousin, and myself. My mom ended up with the flu in the past few days and that ended up changing the day we were going. Because it was moved from Sunday to Saturday, Tom can not go (he has to work). While It will still be amazingly awesome, nothing would have topped that group ( there's always celebration VII).
Now I find myself in a bind. I need to find two very different, yet equally awesome, gifts for the two that can't make it. Last time, I bought a Lando Calrissian mustache. I really don't see how I can top that, but I must try. If I can find Boba Fett helmets or Lando capes, I would have winners, but it will probably be harder than that.
Anyways, I should be getting some sleep. As always, I hope you all have a great night/day, and if anyone else will be there tomorrow, let me know. I'd love to get some pictures to post up here. I'll be playing Count the Slave Leias tomorrow, so lets start the bets now. I'm sure there will be over 50, while only about 6 will look good in the bikini.
Facts I Hate #5: I actually bought Dragon Age 2....
Now I find myself in a bind. I need to find two very different, yet equally awesome, gifts for the two that can't make it. Last time, I bought a Lando Calrissian mustache. I really don't see how I can top that, but I must try. If I can find Boba Fett helmets or Lando capes, I would have winners, but it will probably be harder than that.

City of Refuge
Hey, guys. Video games have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I sat there for a while I put together a list of my favorite games. Some of these are newer, but most of them are older. However, they are all pure awesome sauce. So, without further adieu, I give you The Best Video Games of the Past 20 Years!.
10) Rampage
Playing this as a 7 year old, I thought Rampage was the shit! I could be Godzilla, King Kong, or a giant ass wolf and my whole goal was to destroy cities. Fucking awesome. At 7, I had no idea that I was playing the bad guy in the game, I thought people liked getting eaten by a giant wolf.
9) 007 Nightfire
Sure, Nightfire wasn't great, but it had an awesome multi player mode. Nightfire, unlike most first person shooters of its time, had one thing I loved. By this time, my brother had realised that I was better at video games than he was, so he stopped playing them with me. Nightfire was the only game that I could play against bots (computer generated players) in a death match mode. Bots were probably the only reason I had this game.
8) Super Mario 64
When I was younger, I spent the night at my grandmother's house every Friday night. When she would go to bed after watching Galaxy Quest, Harry Potter, Frequency, Little Vampires, a Tom Selleck movie, or whatever movie she was obsessed with at the time, I would go back to her art studio and play the shit out of some Mario 64. The camera may have been horrible, but that was just how the N64 rolled. Sure, people get pissed when they have to wall jump in the early snow and the dickhead camera guy decides to flip the camera in mid jump, causing you to fall to your death, but that doesn't stop anyone from going for all the stars. It's a completion itch that needs to be scratched.
7) Star Fox 64
Star Fox was fucking awesome. Not only did you fly a space fighter, but you killed giant robots and giant alien things. If that's not enough, you fought alongside a badass named Falco ( Not Keanu Reeves in The Replacements). There were secret shortcuts to levels that would change the path you take in the galaxy map to the ending boss, and I think I speak for everyone when I say I would take any path that let me skip the lava level. That shit was horrible!
6) Halo 3
I only have one bad thing to say about Halo 3. Bungie uses horrible ass manufacturers. I would probably still be playing halo 3 if my disk lasted more than a few months of playing it. For some reason, every halo game I've ever owned has had the same problem. After a few months, the disks warps to the point that the single player campaign is unplayable. Every time I try to start a mission, the "disk unreadable" error pops up and I have to restart my xbox. Bungie puts out great games, but I have to give the a big " Fuck You " for the poor disk quality.
5) Alan Wake
Alan Wake scared the crap out of me. I've played plenty of survival horror games, but this one was probably the best. It has an amazing story, and pretty sweet combat (but as a writer, you probably want to avoid fights). I loved this game so much that I almost bought the sequel that was released on the xbox live arcade, until I found out that the stripped the story from the game and made it all about the combat. Fuck that. You shouldn't mess with greatness.
4) Mass Effect 2
There are probably going to be a shit ton of people getting butt hurt over thins one, but I couldn't care less. I'll say it. I liked Mass Effect 2 more than the first one! It had better characters, better story, and better mechanics. Sure, Carth Onasi's voice was in this for only 2 scenes, but it was still better. Hell, Martin Sheen was in it and did what he does best. He played the crazy super rich guy that pays you to be evil as fuck. It felt like a modern Knights of the Old Republic.
3) The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Dude, I don't even want to think about how many hours I put into this game. Each character I made had at least 100 hours put into them, and I made like over 10 people. This game was my salvation in middle school. Having no friends and dealing with the loss of my grandmother, I sunk my life into this game. Thinking back, I'm pretty sure I was the target demographic.
2) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
It was so hard to not put this game at number one. this game is hands down, the best rpg in the history of video games. This game had all the great elements: love, Star Wars, redemption, choice of good or evil, HK-47, and fucking light sabers! If you disagree with this being the best rpg ever, you probably need a swift kick to the vagina to set your thoughts strait. Play this game, you won't regret it. It soooo holds up!
1) Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
Spyro! Any product of the 90's will agree with me, Spyro is the shit. Spyro 2 introduced orb collecting, Hunter the cheetah, that dickhead Moneybags, and that hot Fawn wanted to bang Spyro. ( After google-ing "Spyro fawn" my childhood is a little more ruined. Damn you rule 32... damn you strait to Hell!) If you are 20- something and never played Spyro, you should be ashamed. Spyro was a defining point of the 90's and still holds up. Hell, I bought a PS3 just so I could play the original trilogy again. I do recommend, however, that you only play the first three. After those three, the series goes down the crap shoot. They even tried to reboot it, but I can't bring myself to even read up on that. The thought of all that orb collecting and dragon egg finding never happening saddens me.
Ok, while writing about Alan Wake, I realised I messed this list up horribly. Talking about how they destroyed the game in the sequel by removing all elements of story and pandering to the combat oriented gamers ( douches, if you will) made me realise I forgot the second best rpg ever, Dragon Age: Origins. Dragon Age: Origins was an amazing game that played just like Knights of the Old Republic and filled the void left by Kotor 3 being cancelled years ago. Being such a great game, I can't begin to fathom why they changed the game so much in the sequel. They took a great game and made it downright horrible. They trashed the character development ( my favorite part of Bioware games) and ruined the story. They even removed any real character customization. In Origins, you could choose your race, sex, background, skill set, appearance, and voice. In Dragon Age 2, you could only choose the skill set and sex. And you couldn't really make the story yours. It's like the game assumed all characters were bisexual and formed the story around it. It pissed me off and made me regret pre-ordering it after playing Origins. I really lost a lot of respect for Bioware when Dragon Age 2 showed up at my door. Oh, and did I mention that Claudia Black voices a companion in Origins? Yea, that's whats up.
There we have it, guys. The best games of the past 20 years. I hope you all enjoyed it, and I would love some feedback ( Unless you are arguing against Kotor. If that's the case, you can go fuck yourself.). I'm really close to getting the YouTube channel up and running, so keep and eye out for that. I think I should have a few videos up my the end of next week. I have some days off coming up, so I'll get some of those posted, even if I can't get Mike in them, that way we can at least get started. And now for the fun part, spell checking this whole post! There are always so many spelling errors. I even write entire sentences backwards sometimes. It's pretty bad.
Facts I Hate # 4: There will never be a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3. They rushed the second one along so much that it lacked in a few areas and was poorly received by critics, resulting in the third being cancelled.

Take it or Leave it
Hey, everyone. Before I go to sleep ( or lay wakefully waiting for the sun to come up and only then will I become tired ), I wanted to give you all an update on the channel. I have started recording more video and have started to get the hang of the editing process. I had a problem earlier today with my voice picking up, but I soon realised I still had my RockBand microphone, so that problem is no more. I was going to film a Minecraft adventure with Mike today, but the weather had different plans.
With the lingering storm continuously dipping the power levels in the house, I figured it would be a good time to turn the game off and watch some Game of Thrones. Let me tell you, shit has hit the metaphorical fan in Game of Thrones. The main character was executed by the new king ( Teenage boy arranged to marry the main guy's oldest daughter), the holds of the north have combined forces to rebel against the new king, oh and fallen warriors are going zombie to kill guards of the wall. This shit is pretty ridic. And I haven't even told you the best part. There are dragons now! Yes, they are only baby dragons now, but Spyro was young and kicked Gnasty Gnork's ass.
Other than that, I haven't really done anything today. Tomorrow is going to start early for me though, so I should be going (Apparently the is a 7 am. I knew there was a 7 pm, but having one in the morning is a little too much.). Before I go, Mike and I have been having a hard time coming up with a name for our channel, so if anyone has any suggestions, we would love to hear them. Good night/morning, everyone. Addison out.
Facts I Hate #3: (Spoilers!) They are killing off Amy Pond ( hot slutty redhead) in the new season of Doctor Who.
