Goddom. So this is the first post ive done in a long time, ive been quite the busy lil luchadore these past few months! School kicked back up, works been a bitch, I got this new thing called "a life" and have been busy trying to figure it out, etc,etc

(Look for my review of Left 4 Dead, Sonic Unleashed, Persona 3 FES, a second hand review of P4, and the reasons why i havent updated with any news on my STH06 conquest)


And i noticed this little fad going on with all my fellow d-toiders, its seems to be sweeping the C-blogs like a strange new strain of airborne virus... So i decided to take a deep breath of it and jump into the madness myself!

10 THINGS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME DEPENDING ON IF YOU KNOW ME OR NOT.... WAT..?


1. A year ago i housed over 15 reptiles in my house (i dont breed reptiles). I work for Petco, and a lot of people were dropping off their reptiles. I had an open heart and an one bedroom apartment, so i would decide to take them all in... Sadly however the load became too much and my house became more of a half-way house than a permanent home. Luckly for me i found great homes for most of them and still house 3 of them to myself.

2. I have nearly been killed 5 times. Once when administered the whooping cough vaccine my throat collapsed due to fail. When i was 3 i followed a ball into the pool and nearly drowned. When i was 6 I dehydrated and nearly suffocated in a ball pit at Peter Piper Pizza in Arizona. When i was 14 i decided to jump into a lake with all my clothes on to grab a floating toy for a crying child, my pant leg got caught on a branch and somehow i got dragged under. And when i was 16, i was on a golf course when lighting struck 10 feet away from me. Yeah the reapers scythe aint as sharp as it used to be, lets put it that way.

3. I am a trekker, yep. Judge all you want, but dont hate until youve tried it.

4. I won the surfing pikachu contest out of a nintendo power when i was a kid and thought i was the hottest thing on the planet. Seriously they made me send in my Pokemon Yellow cartridge and gave me a pikachu WHO KNEW SURF! KING KONG AINT GOT SHIT ON ME! Not only did it know surf, but it gave me access to this secret little minigame in this beach house. I played the fuck out of that minigame. Eventually everybody got it due to Pokemon Stadium, but lemme tell you- being able to brag about that shit during the heat of the pokemon phenom. Absolutely amazing.

5. I've wanted to be: a cop, a paleontologist, a cartoonist, a writter, a director, an actor, a socio-cultural anthropologist, a psychologist, a video game director, and a wildlife conservationist.. and that was all just last week. AND I WILL BE THEM ALL!

6. I've been in several short films for my friend who is attempting to get into Cal-Arts. I pray my terrible acting isnt the one thing that stops him from getting in. (they are on the youtubes but im not sure if i want to post them here)

7. I am a huge Godzilla fan. Seriously if i had the money i would collect Kaiju shit, but the toy companies jack that shit up! I cant afford $90 for some 12 in vinyl figurine that looks like something sold at KB Toys! But something about the terrible acting, rubber suits, and predictable storylines just gets me all hot and bothered under the collar..

8. I used to know every line in Jurassic Park by heart. Seriously, i could be anywhere and just start reciting it from beginning to end. It was disgusting, i used to watch that movie at least 5x a week when i was 12.

9. Despite my love of the Pokemon franchise, i still have yet to ever completely fill out a pokedex. I know i fail at life...

10. I have an unhealthy love for all things grotesque. Mostly the skeleton. Human skeletons, animal skeletons, supernatural creature skeletons, you name it (yes even exoskeletons) I am infatuated with it. Dont know quite why but i have been my whole life!



So there you go, 10 things you didnt know about me or already did and now wonder why did i even care to open this blog and read this boring shit... I love run on sentances..

After finishing Dead Space, i realized why i loved it so much: the horror was grand, the violence was blissful, and to top it all off Isaac was actually a guy whom i could relate to. However i did find a few things to be a bit well, annoying as all get out, which i will go into with deep detail. Anyhoo onward to the my first blog and first review...



Oh yeah and there will probably be some SPOILERS so be careful where you tread young reader.




Lets begin with the best parts of the game:

Easily Dead Space is an amazing survival horror. It has all the right makes of one:

-eerie atmosphere with a peppering of clostrophobia in certain areas.

-intelligent enemies who will stop at nothing to kill you (in interesting ways mind you), in which a simple headshot will not suffice.

-an interesting interface with a unique sense of style not yet seen in the genre.

-a good storyline that breaks the "codes" of some horror genre stereo-types, but embraces others.

-and of course, scarce weapons/ammo/health items in accordance with the overdose of enemies waiting to catch your lead with their faces (or in this case appendages)


Now that we've got the sweet sugar, lets pour some anger onto it.


one of my biggest issues with Dead Space was the quarantine rooms. To me they seemed to be just simple filler/ life ruiners. For example, after the USG Valor crashes into the Ishimura and you run into your first set of "tweakers" (they're those fast ones, i dunno they seemed like speed addicts to me), the game becomes a frustration fest. These fast buggers make life near impossible in the quarantine rooms, i mean can i get an amen from anyone who tried the game on med/hard? A room filled up with those damned preggers, sabertoothed scorpions, and those fetus freaks is tough enough. BUT NO!! lets make it a tad bit more problematic with these twitchy junkies thrown into the mixer with you. it should be a fun time had by all!! : D WRONG. OH SO WRONG. But still these rooms could have been done without i mean seriously, after the first few i was so done with these damn quarantine lockdowns. but they follow all the way to the last damned chapter. fheck.

Another thing i found to be a bit on the annoying, was how everyone in the game made poor Issac do everything. Oh excuse me, i guess he didnt have to open EVERY door or pull back a ship. CZJ (Cosmic Zombie Jew) forbid Issac would have to flip a switch or two. But seriously it was one fetch quest after another followed by a trip on the tram then the same thing again. I'm all about fetching crud for a while.. But I would rather be telling myself to get it, not some lazy bitch behind a computer or at least feel more rewarded for doing so.

Oh and the darker necromorphs, yeah they suck at life.


But other than those small things, i must say i enjoyed the game throughly.. Too bad for EA cuz i want Animal Crossing: City Folk so bad i traded it for credit. I'm an addict and i need halp.

oh and one mooore thing.. as i said in the title this is my post, so:

if it sucks- my bad, i'll try harder next time.

If it rocked your socks- my bad, i'll try harder next time.
