I play a lot of video games and dream scary dreams.
I got Bayonetta in the mail recently and now at chapter 5. The game is fantastic like I expected it to be. I love Bayonetta, love her to bits! Ass kicking magical woman who won't take shit is the kind of thing I was in the mood for.
Some feminists hate the game, but I count myself among the kind that likes the game. Although it could have been executed better one has to keep in mind that sex does sell. Its not right but thats how it is. She's not a two dimensional fetish model (unlike what I heard from Star Ocean 4.) the game manages to throw sex in your face thats over the top that its funny.
I'm just waiting for the male equivalent. Which by the way, I have managed to do successfully with my character the Firefigher in the Crescent City Mage Campaign: Jason Heathrowe. He's the sexy rock hard washboard thats been in a calendar, (You know, one of THOSE calenders) he's won the “gayest firefighter of California” and a local celebrity. He's a bit smarter than the lovable Jason Stackhouse of True Blood but inadvertently these two characters are similar.
I've had a lot of fun (fun meaning character development) playing with Jason's sexuality which is somewhat messed up but does not fall into the anything-that-moves bisexuality stereotype. He's not quite full on full bi more like bi-curious. He's only into one type of guy (which upon deeper psych evals is the same type of individual that is his younger brother. But nobody but me has managed to figure that out. Looks like I'll have to try harder on that one.) This guy is more messed up than he first appears. Even doubly creepy is that these two characters are a reflection of myself in some regards. Not completely of course but I figured I'd play around with a couple of things I've always wanted to do.
So, wait, am I making love to myself then? How egotistical and fucked up! Lets move on!
Limbo is a game I played at a friends house all the way through. Its a black and white scroller game on the 360 arcade. Its morbidly awesome and absolutely worth the ten bucks. I died a whole bunch and flipped shit at the spiders but man oh man does this game have atmosphere. I certainly recommend Limbo to everybody. This game is wickedly morbid. Sick as sin? Yes it is. Totally up my alley.
I borrowed Heavy Rain from a friend of mine. Actually right now I'm installing the data to my hard drive to play it. LOVED the demo so I'm pretty sure I'm going to love this game. In the same paragraph I should mention I'm borrowing Indigo Prophecy which is the 1st game. I should play Indigo Prophecy before Heavy Rain but THE GAME, IT CALLS TO ME!
James Sunderland in Silent Hill 2 haunts me. I beat this game with my friends like over a week ago and it still is freaking me out. I've had dreams, man. Dreams. Speaking about dreams. I've had one on Resident Evil 4. THAT I wrote about. I dreamed an entire novella's worth of action and wrote down as well. Not sure if it'll blossom into HUGE NOVEL OF WIN. But I'm hoping and watering the baby sprouts of this idea. Supernatural horror stuff. It disturbs me. If it disturbs me that much then its something that'll need to be
I'm slowly but surely delving into the horror genre, which is as I'm sure people have attested to in the past: I hated horror. Before you couldn't get me to sit down and watch Resident Evil. Yet last year I managed to play co op through RE5. OK, so its not as horroriffic as some of the earlier games HOWEVER it is still Resident Evil. Blood and guts and mutated beings coming-after-you-oh-fuck-RUN count as horrifying to me. I'm in a lot of campaigns centered around horror since the dungeon master loves it. I beat Silent Hill 2. I'm dreaming and writing horror. I didn't particularly sign up for this however I'm just going to roll with it for now. It makes me take those crazy nightmares and put them to something of use. Hell, maybe it'll be crazy enough to publish. We'll see.
If you can't run from it, make love with it until you like it. Thats what I've been doing. This only applies to tangible ideas and not people. I by no means am I into Rape is Love. No thanks.
And that is all at the moment. Over and out.
