Stretched compression...
An update on updates! But what's next, a pamphlet on pamphlets? A game about making games?
Think back, like 3 months in the direction opposite of forward, and you may recall my giddy awaiting of a little RPG called Kingdom Hearts II, which I briefly discussed in a blog post, not unlike this one! Dammit, something's missing.
A Brief Recalling/Review of Kingdom Hearts II?
Sequels in the film industry are like eating a sandwhich and really enjoying it, but then deciding that including some other toppings (tomatoes, sprouts, hair, whathaveyou) will increase the taste even more, only to discover that your additions are more like subtractions of the overall quality. Directors, writers, and the whole gang of moviemakers try too hard to outdo the original and end up with a large, sloppy BLT of subparness. Meanwhile in Gotham City, video game creators are more likely to earn sucess with their second installments of their respective projects, due to increased technological benefits and a budget big enough to make A-Rod play for the Mariners again.
Square Enix impressed me yet again with part II of their Disney/Final Fantasy/Buffy crossover of fun. Some gaming sites gave KH2 shitty ratings and cried 'It's too easy!' Apparently, these people have never had to amuse themselves by finding new ways to play the game and thusly challenging themselves. Heck, this is the blog of the Self-Challenge King or at least Bishop. In NFL Blitz for the PC, I can still open the game window, start a new match, select the Green Bay Packers, and run 'Da Bomb' for a touchdown, all with my eyes closed. Does anybody care? You choice is yours.
Kingdom Hearts 2 replaces all of the original's flaws and out-of-datedness with a lengthy, nostalgic and action-packed experience with a shiny paint job. My highest recommendation, foo's.
*Notable cool things*
1. Tron! Lion King! That Old Talkie with the Cow! (or: cool new levels)
2. Frustrating jumps are no longer! (also: improved controls)
3. 1000 Heartless vs. You! (possibly: amazing boss fights and gameplay instances)
4. OMG Kairi is hottt!!1 (translation: sharper graphics and surreal enviroments)
*Things I wasn't going to tell you about*
1. The Disney worlds don't fit very well into the overall scheme of the story
2. George Bush doesn't care about Japanese haircuts.
Hey Brett, how's the band coming along?
Shit, you were supposed to forget about that.
Look, a distraction link!
(Note: Neither of the members of the duet are me, myself or I)
Undoubtedly, I'm not the first kid who's had aspirations to rock out in front of the town he despiritely wants to make a name in, or at least be apart of something other than a class list. To be honest, drawing attention to myself is why this site exists. The chance to stand out is my muse, but then again, how common is that? Common like a Ponyta card. Shit, I must've had 8 of those.
See what you've done? Now, here's the portion of the blog where you read a quick survey-like question and reply by commenting:
*****$74r****
If you could chance the outcome of one event in history (don't worry about time travelish consequences), what would YOU alter, and why?
*****omg*****
Just because it's possible,
The B-Flat Brettzki

And the best picture Oscar goes to...
Home Alone II!
I'd change something that would affect my personal life's experiences, though I cannot specify a certain instance.
