...I did not know it. Or maybe I was just ignoring it.

But it looks like there is a lot of widespread misogyny in the critic world of video gaming.

There is enough to worry about when it comes to misogyny, discrimination in general. I can't put all of the details together because it seems so silly and blown completely out of propotion.

In addition to my ramble:

USA TODAY: "I can't breathe!" NYPD chokehold death ruled homicide

IBTIMES: Ohio Man Shot Dead By Police While Holding Toy Rifle In Walmart (let's use unlikely colors for fake guns for good)

CBS Detroit: Man’s Death At Northland Mall Was Accidental

Majority of them is with altercation with police and defining directions.

Well, my butt's been busy.

And this new week starts off with some nice racism. Course I'm being sarcastic; paternal shows are wrecking our brains. It's pathetic to begin with.

So one lady says that "black people always sleep around and get people pregnant". Which makes me wonder what episodes did she miss? I don't know the ratio nor care.

and one guy counters/complaints saying that "what about the white people are welfare? Most of them are."

Although the lady was super false, guy mentions later about how whites are the biggest crooks, liars and such.

Where am I really? Racism is no good, no matter what. Unhealthy; call it naive, don't fight racism with it.

===

Last week was also busy, and I told that stinkpest not to bother me.

So there's debate over increasing the minimum wage to over ten. Thinking it over a little, will it be that much of a significant difference? Sure, everyone wants more money. For part time mostly, it'll guaranteed approx 200 a day, but we have to think about what we use our money for. We'll be able to save more money before the next pay day.

Still, I don't think it'll be that different will it? Especially if the price increase.

Even with two jobs. It feels like a waste. Vid time.

If I was this guy, I'd pee myself. He's NUTS! At least the crocs didn't rip that suit apart.

[ Gaming Status ]

Ordered Monster Hunter 3, so I may arrive next week at best. As for current gaming, I am surprised of Lego Star Wars. I own the "ultimate collection" with all movie episodes, so I have quite a bit to play. I just reached "A New Hope" last week, and I had the game since, I believe, two Christmases ago. My passion was getting better in Mario Kart and its unlockables...

but still, BUT STILL, I can't do it. I always had problems with Time Trials in various racing games. It seems so unfair.

Back to Lego Star Wars: SURPRISINGLY exciting, and even difficult at times. Not to mention, the familiar SW music and sound effects that we all know are included in the game. It's also funny; I never thought they could make the birth scene in episode 3 so silly-looking. I was actually chuckling.

As for difficulty, Jango Fett for example. So much is happening, like raids of enemies charging at you, especially with ranged laser weaponry. Lego Star Wars can really toy (pun) with you if you're like money/jewelry/shiny compulsive because one of the things you do in LSW is to collect lego pieces for unlockables. However, with so much going on, you die and have to collect the scattered pieces. And there are lego pieces in almost every corner, hidden in virtually every object from torches to desks. There is also puzzles and the wide level design.

[ TV Special: POKEMON The Origin ]
I LOVE CHARMANDER!

Watched the four episodes previous Tuesday.

I LIKED IT! I think I'd give it a 7 out of 10. If you ever played a pokemon game on a handheld, especially Red and/or Blue, then watching The Origin was a swift trip of nostalgia. That's what the majority of watchers would say: Nostalgia, from the music to some of the dialogue (ie: Oikido's soliloquy, Green's "See ya gramps", "The poke center is the building with the red roof").

Since it's four episodes, the pacing is quite fast. I mean, really fast. That's probably the disappointing part; I was probably the most disappointed with half of the last ep.

As for the characters, I am a little surprised that people say that Green/Gary/Blue is "too much of a jerk". He was always a jerk. He was very high-handed. It's just fleshed out a bit more in the show. Because you was always traveling, it's not like you met with him much doing your journey game-wise.

I liked Red's learning curve. He didn't understand how str/weak worked. I think the anime was airing in U.S when Red/Blue was released, so I think we already had an idea on how the fight system worked when we played the game ^^; But it was good to see. Also, Brock/Takeshi seemed to play the role of the old man from Viridian.

A strong point is the fluid animation of most of the fights. Not all, but most.

[ Kamen Rider ]
Gaim aired last weekend, but maybe I'll talk about it another time. Maybe after the second or third episode.

Gonna talk about OOOs and W (called "Double") because I wanted to pick up more KR since I watched KR Fourze and Wizard.

At first, I thought I wasn't going to like OOOs because it was strange, but I think I understand what the appeal is. It just might be human vs Greeds, or Eiji vs Greeds. Eiji Hino, who is KR OOOs, is the "my pace sense of justice" type, but he's stuck working with Ankh because Ankh's former pals are creating monsters (ie: The Yummy) from human desires. Ankh wants the Yummies to be created, and then destroyed to collect medals but every character, from Greeds to Kogami, want the medals. Furthermore, Ankh possessed the body of the heroine's bro. In all of this, there is the show's outlook on mistrust. what's the Kogami Corp in all of this?

Also, I want to see more of the Core Medal effects on OOO. What is Eiji's past?

As for Double, it is a detective show. We have Phillip, the mafia-like Sonozaki Family, and the show's serious atmosphere.

Over affordable health premiums...that's all I hear. "No negotiations" and "healthcare". I won't say "Obamacare" because it's not like the Pres created his own medical institution. So the name is dumb.

Too tired to talk about shutdown thoroughly. It is quite unfortunate, especially for those who are affected by it. And shouldn't be. Definitely no veterans should be barred from going to a WWII site, soldiers shouldn't lack pay, etc.

Quite frankly, U.S can't live without a government. It was founded, or rather, no, U.S citizens progressed into a party-combined government. People talk about what's against the Constitution; to encourage a shutdown, or to even let it linger for so long, would be wrong.

It doesn't have to do with tons of control, which people fear, it's stability. It should be conservative. U.S isn't an anarchy, and no one is living 300 years ago.

And who is anyone to say that "one side" isn't negotiable?

By the looks of the approval rating, The U.S Congress is apparently more scum than a molded toilet seat.

Japanese animator under fire for film tribute to warplane designer

"Why did smoking have to be included in a scene where the objective is to depict the couple's relationship, especially the woman's state of mind?" the letter said. "There must have been another way to express that."

Japan has more of a smoking frequency than the U.S., doesn't it? And if Mayazaki said that it was trend in even the old days then why complain?

I would like more detail on the criticism. Every time I watch the Kaze Tachinu (The Wind Rises) trailer, I'm filled with emotion, and I want to watch the movie regardless that the Americans opposed the Axis Powers. Miyazaki was always against war, and I don't dislike him for diverting from his fantasy elements.

Korea, Japan, China, I see the same thing.

When I see derision against people from Asia, it's from people who PROBABLY never lived in the age of World War I and World War II. They never seen the attack of Pearl Harbor except through stock footage of documentaries, and news highlighting these notable events on their anniversaries. Koreans are understandable, but even they are inciting hatred in this current age.

It is true that abduction and slavery happened; it's also true that Americans captured Asian Americans and sent them through labor.

Are they offended? There's always a justified feeling that it was okay to bomb the Japanese, especially the atomic bombs. Just because they declared war on America. What if an American created a movie lionising Adolf Hilter or the German military when the Nazi Party took charge?

On a unrelated note, Ueda Yuji (うえだゆうじ) appears in Saint Seiya Omega.

I can't figure out what Sonic Memory to do next. I might enter the Game Gear-verse against with Sonic 2 or Triple Trouble, but not sure if I remember much. I definitely can't remember much from Chaos. I feel that my memories are shallow. I'm only wrote eight?

As for reading...

Moreover, because of its importance, difficulty in learning to
read crushes the excitement and love for learning, which most children have when they enter
school.>

How true is this?

Either I'm just overthinking, I blame MESO, or this is psychological? I was always a good speller and reader, but do I like to read?

I still have very old novels stuck in my shelf, unfinished. Jurassic Park, ripped and ended up in the trash, stayed with me for well over ten years unfinished.

So i'm going to look around and see if there any answers of what might be the case, and maybe solution.

More in another entry one day.

Tired....

So, here's some stuff I hear on the radio, aside from kids and security guards getting shot in their homes and cars.

- The 'Fight for 15' Grows
- 1-day fast food worker strike comes to Detroit

Invoking the people's voice is a good thing, but will this even work? Is it even necessary to risk? 15 an hour?

Which makes me wonder, how much do those in the military, both enlisted and officers, make? Since there is the potential of entering dangerous territory, I'd hope they're paid well. I don't get why anyone even consider, bring up, cutting pay for soldiers. Unless it was convenient.

Foot pain, homesick.

This entry is mostly going to suck.

In the News
It was only yesterday that two bombs exploded near the internationally famed Boston Marathon, three people killed, one being an eight-year-old boy. My expressions were obvious shock, but it was only recently until I got a clearer view of the carnage. The footage of the explosions itself, the smoke, and the people running away were astonishing in itself. I hear about people being critically injured, had lost limbs. However, it was just today when I looked into the Free Press and saw a photo of blood everywhere on the streets...

Even K-sensei made a comment about it. "AWFUL!"

It's things like this that make me want to be in a federal service. And apparently the explosions were right at the finish line; I can't help but believe that it was right on cue for the perpetrator. Terrorism? Of course, on Twitter, Muslims are stigmatized; the word becomes a Twitter trend because of someone's negative commentary. In a post-911 world, we in America still can't seem to shake off that paranoia of Eastern religion.

I also see these words: "Hateful Democrats" "Republican horse droppings".

Politics are all in the same. I can love military, like rules, dislike guns, etc. Making decisions is liberal. When it come to these situations, crime committing and people dying, shouldn't party affiliation affect common sense? The name-calling is sad.

Japan: Seiyuu World feelings
Legendary Naya Goro passed away last month. I guess I didn't want to talk about it because it was too much that man BEAT CANCER!. So did Tsushima Takeshi from an unfortunate fall. The father of Romi Paku had died as well...I swear, her tweets and blogs can give me so many feelings. Then recently, the author of Zero no Tsukaima Yamaguchi Noboru passed away from cancer.

I felt a sense of strength from particularly Romi's father and Yamaguchi. If I recall, I think Romi said that her father was paralyzed for many years. I thought of my dad too.

Yamaguchi...oh Yamaguchi. He was sick, in and out of the hospital, and was still enthusiastic about his work. That's all I can say. I was just sad. I wasn't really a fan of the novel, the little that I read from it, but I love enthusiasm.

NARUTO: Personally...
Quick thoughts on chapter 627. This is either...

While I am into logic, and staying in character, I'm going to disregard how considerably QUICK this decision-making happened because of the good potential that can come from it. Sasuke's decision is either a sign that he wants to fix the past of his stupid ancestors, or Kishimoto is just plain tired (lol).

But Madara and Tobi are just flat out problematic. So much blood spilled over...being unable to cope. Apparently, struggle or trauma is necessary for the sharingan to develop, but why? What about the byakugan? What about the hard work of Naruto and Rock Lee?

Madara had problems with being trusted. While that is understandable, he wasn't the kind of guy who could improve trust by adjusting his actions. The fear of the Uchiha was still alive, that's true; if Madara wanted peace, couldn't he set an example for Konoha? Why did you prove Tobirama right dude? Torirama's actions were radical as well, and he did act out of his underlying mistrust. That increased suspicion within the Uchiha.

Maybe it is quite difficult: to prove yourself.

Look at Sasuke in the beginning, like during and before the chuunin exams. Even now, aside from Naruto, who will trust Sasuke?

And it's like I said before in another entry, why in the hell is it okay to live in a permanent illusion?

Time for something happy.

MIO MAO and Family
Whelp...the niece made me watch a 24/7 baby program on TV, and there is a claymation short called MIO MAO (revived version), produced by Francesco Misseri, about two small cats. I can't believe how catchy the theme song is.

"Mio, Mao, Mio Mao..la la la la la." Niece sings it too, if I sing it (lol). She does the "lalala" part.

I'll talk about my week soon. Here's a video:
