So, this is my review of .Hack G.U (No, G.U does not stand for G. Unit) the simulation MMORPG. Not to be mistaken with a real MMORPG. You basically play a game inside of a game. The MMORPG that your character commits the entirety of his life to is called “The World”. No, it’s not clever or catchy but it does make for some great catch phrases such as; “That is how things are in “The World”, “This too is part of “The world”, "Death and life bring balance to “The World”.



You take the role of a player named Haseo (Ha-say-yo) who is new to the world. Sadly he gets PKed (player killed) his first time logging in. Yeah, that’s right you suck from the very beginning, makes you want to keep playing right? Well, hold your breath it gets better! The cut scene where you got PKed continues eight months into the future where you watch as a group of PKs pwn a small party. After the party is crushed you swoop in and kill the whole lot of PKs. Yes that is right you are now a great PKK (PlayerKiller Killer) known as “The Terror of Death” again not clever or catchy but it works. So does your e-penis feel better? Good!



Haseo is in search of a “almightyl” PK known as Tri-Edge. This rumor based PK attacked Haseo's friend Shino and put her into a coma. Haseo swore he would find Tri-edge and kill him and find a cure for his friend. Shortly after the above paragraph you find Tri-edge and try to take him on yourself and guess what…you got P W N E D!!! Instead of putting you into a coma you get beat like a red headed step-child and all your character data is erased. So now the mighty “Terror of Death” is level one!!!11!!!! This is where you get to start playing the game....well if you want to after all that e-penis removal...



From there you start lvling up and meeting your partymembers for the game. You have to run a few quests and area jobs to advance the story but only when you see fit. So you will have time to lvl up to ensure you do not get beat like previously mentioned Cut scenes.

There is a lot of optional reading in the beginning of the game and throughout its entirety. Starting with Community News and Community Forums as well as emails you will receive from other players. Once you log into “The World” you have the “Official Forum” and the “Official Site” to read through. By reading through the forums you can gain things from Wallpapers to Area words. “Area Words” consist of three words that create a field or dungeon for you to play it.



I am not going to sit tell you how the whole game played out because that would just be a waste of my personal and important time. So now I will just list the pros and cons of the game.



Pros-

Decent Character development

Interesting story line

Decent battle system and leveling system

Controls are easy

There are extra things you can do outside of the story line

You can FINALLY be a class other than “Twin Blade” but you have to earn it!! But it beats not having it at all.





Cons-

The game does get a bit repetitive feel when you try to “Lvlar up”

You play jerk of a character so you have to put up with watching “you” say mean things to the other players.

Certain boss fights take long not because they are hard but because they have a massive amount of HP!!



 

Walter's Glossary of Internet Annoyances

Part 1:
"And And?"

I’m sure every Myspace user has stumbled upon the doubling up of the ampersand (&&) at least once during their Myspace lives. (Myspace lives? Isn’t that an oxymoron?) If not, just go searching for some preppy girls complete with their CSS’ploding profiles and you’ll be sure to see it in their list of interests.

I rly luv <3
abercrombie && fitch <3
hugs && kisses <3
flats && converses <3
laguna beach && the oc <3
typing leik a caveman && being totally self-absorbed omg! <3

Although I’m no programmer, I have seen two ampersands used before in some programming books, and unless there’s some secret society of teenage girls that just so happen to be Cisco certified, it’s just another pointless, faddish, retarded waste of time.

And here’s what makes it even better:

If you ask them why they “spel leik dis lol” they’ll tell you that they’re able to type faster that way. Now if they were really concerned about typing speed, why would they throw in extra characters and retarded HTML tags? Because it makes the captions under their revealing pictures harder to read, "forcing" us to prolong our ogling while we try to decipher their poor attempt at the English language.

Now that I think about it, that really isn't a bad thing...Unless they're ugly.

That's all I have for today! Tune in next time to see why all browsers suck, and how I plan to change that!

Hai 2 u

Hello all! To commemorate my addition to the Subtle blog team, I thought I would go ahead and contribute a haiku of my own. There's no way it'll even approach the excellence of Walter's, but one must start somewhere, eh?

Paisley is supple
Dance, revolutionary
Fluffy panda bear

There you have it.

-Show me yours, I'll show you mine. You know sincerity grows in time.

Happy Anniversary to Me!

It was this very day in the year 2005 that I went out on a limb and purchased my first Apple computer. Though I did a considerable amount of research before buying, I still wasn’t entirely certain of OS X’s greatness. But dang, I am now!

Apple.com is having a one-day sale (today!), which will save you upwards of one hundred dollars on selected models! </apple salesman> So if any of you good Samaritans out there feel the urge to buy me a shiny new iMac, today is the day to do it!

So here’s to you, my portable “Perturbative Transfer Device!” Happy Anniversary, and I hope we can make many more joyful memories until I get a Macbook Pro and pawn you off to some stranger.


(The next blog entry won't be Apple-related, I promise!)

Mmmm, Tasty.

See the full Big Mac ad here.
I'd take a bite out of that appl...ehh..burger?

Here's what I want for Christmas:

Check it out! Apple’s new iTT is just what I've been waiting for! With my Phish records collecting dust in the closet, I decided it was time to pull them back out, and what better way to make a record comeback then with Apple’s newest addition to their portable music line up, the iTT. Sick of your iPod’s battery running out of juice? I know I am! With the iTT’s 10 D-Cell batteries, you can jam until your jam is through!

It looks like Apple is going in the same direction as Sony and Microsoft by making their newest product larger than life, and at nearly 40lbs, this wonder of technology almost outweighs an XBOX 360!

Here's my haiku:

Toothpaste, movie quote
Everyone is the sunlight
A mighty wind blows

"will blog 4 food"

Here's a haiku to commemorate the inauguration of this blog. Think of it as a literary bottle of champagne being bashed against the hull of some blog whose content is of questionable taste.

Forums were crappy
All the cool people have blogs
Hippos cannot dance
