awesome!!! kids from the 90s need to see this

I got all my writing in my blog. usually stuff about ghosts, because its just easy to write about. wish I was more creative,
anyway here you go, all my stuff, copied from my blog.


SANITARIUM

Do you remember that place?
The grass was green on that hill.
It sat silently, majestically overlooking the city.
It was dilapidated, yet appeared as if it would stand forever.
We gazed upon that old relic, with more than its face value in mind.
It was just a dare,
yet felt as if fate had brought us here.
Magnetically pulling us toward the top.
Would we experience a revelation?
What secrets lie behind those double doors and fogged windows?
Do you remember how much we loved each other?
My hand on your shoulder we entered the old building.
The night would come soon but we procrastinated preparing our sleeping place.
I can remember those big, steel, bloodstained droors in some of the walls.
Dozens of them.
I remember the long declined tunnels, streaked with blood.
A skull here, a bone there.
This is where the bodies were disposed of, to contain the illness within these walls.
The heavy iron beds still were bloodsoaked.
The floors corroded from vomit.
It was cold, it was ominous, it was romantic.
We set up our stove and make some pork and beans, just as if we were camping.
I think you felt like more of a man than I.
We slept in the same sleeping bag, you on my chest.
But soon it started.
Something dragged one of the beds in the room down the hall.
We were on our feet before the sound finished reverberating off of those old stone walls.
The shouting, the moaning.
The pounding, the crying.
The blood turned wet,
The vomit smelled.
The steel droors started to drip.
One of them threw itself open as blood struck the adjacent wall.
A grabbed her hand and we turned down the hall.
We just ran, turning down random halls.
Apparitions darting to and fro,
Some strapped to beds, shouting as the reached for us.
At the end of the hall a bright light flooded the hall.
It approached us at a breakneck pace.
As we stood motionless, awaiting our uncertain fate, the wheels began to turn.
I looked to your side, seeing a window.



Sometimes I look out that same window, and I see you looking up.
You were wearing that same dress that night.

------------------------------------------------------------



Every day
I can see
The boy behind me,
Reflecting In the bottle.
The man falling past the window
The ball rolling into the road
The body tumbling on my windshield,
The vacant rearview.
why must I be haunted?
Why am I special?
But in the midst of all of this
Her fingerprints showed up on my chest this morning
Can this curse be a blessing?
--------------------------------------------------------

This is probably about 4 years old or something, wrote in when I was in high school.

To be clear, I do not believe in ghosts, since I am a Christian.
This is a work of fiction.






Faces in the night.
I can see them in the dark.
Something standing over me
disapperas after I awake.
When I cry out,
they leave bitterly.
Lost souls ashamed of hte afterlife in which they are cursed,
lash back,
cry out in eternal anguish,
pound the walls,
and make the bleed.
I must dwell among the dead, but I will not fear them anymore.
I awake in the night,
something has tucked me in.

-------------------------------------------------------

Before you read this, don't worry, I AM NOT SUICIDAL.
just a bit of writing, thats all


Pull inside of my head
Get away from it all
Sitting at bottom of the ocean
Or Floating silently through space
In the forest
Or in the city
I am just as alone
With myself and I
For those are the only ones who understand
I want to hide from it all
But I don't want to be alone
Which will lead to happiness?
Shadows of my past surround me.
With chains they bind me
"you cannot escape us"

"This prison is where you will live, and where you will die"
"Cry out as you may."
"None will hear you."
"Those that do will abandon you"
Where art thou deliverance O Lord?
I have to go to work in the morning.







to explain the last line, its basically saying that ppl that deal with this have to carry it everywhere, weather its conveniant or not. you go through this in your head and then you realize tomorrow you have to pull it together for another day.

RE 5 review

The good:    Excellent
graphics

                     Extensive upgrades
for your weapons. more balanced then resident evil 4.

                     Co-op is a blast
with a friend

                     lots of unlockables,
including the addicting mercenaries mode



the bad:       controls may feel dated to
those new to the franchise

                      inventory system is
a nuisance at times, especially since you cannot pause when accessing it

                      lacks the suspense
and difficulty of other resident evil games.

.. ..

.. ..

                The
Resident Evil franchise has been slow and stubborn to change over the
years.  However with declining sales and
fed-up fans, Capcom caved in with the release of “Resident Evil 4.”  Instead of the overused fixed camera angles,
Resident Evil 4 used a camera that would follow the player.  The auto-aim was also replaced with an over-the-shoulder
aiming system.  There was a much wider
variety of enemies in this new installment then in the previous games, which
was somewhat of a complaint of many fans who grew tired of the original
installments.  However, many people
complained that resident evil 4, while being arguably the best game of the
series, left the spooky, zombie killing roots of its predecessors.  Will Resident Evil 5 be as groundbreaking the
last installment in the franchise.  Will
it continue to stray away from original formula?

In Resident Evil 5, you take
control of Chris Redfield, accompanied by Sheva Alomar, who can be controlled
by friend via xbox live/PSN, or split screen.   The story isn’t bad, although you may find
yourself disconnected if you started with either Resident Evil 4 or 5.  The campy dialogue may make fans of the franchise
crack a smile or two, but newcomers may be turned off, expecting a more serious
approach to a seemingly serious setting.  In any case, Capcom does a commendable job of
tying up the loose ends that were formed in the beginning of the
franchise. 

So instead of a creepy house, or
the forests and castles of Spain, you are placed in Africa.   The new setting may make some gamers wonder
if this is even a Resident Evil game, and not “black hawk down” with “zombies.” If you play this game
alone, you will be missing out on the hidden strategic approach of the
game.  If you let the AI take over for
Sheva, she will use ammo and health excessively. This isn’t the worst AI you
will encounter in a game, in fact she isn’t so bad at taking cover and staying
alive, but if you want to get your money’s worth and less headaches from the
inventory system, (considering Sheva’s AI cannot combine items such as herbs) then
you are best off tackling the competition with a friend.  Overall though, if you stay near your
teammate as often as you can, you will not have much difficulty finishing the
game on the normal difficulty.  That
said, those who want a challenge should at least play the game on anything
harder than normal.  You will need your
partner not only for taking down enemies, but also for some light puzzle
solving.  Most of this boils down to two
people pushing a button to open a door, so it’s not brain surgery to say the
least.  It gets more complex than that at
times, but not much.   Overall, there definitely is a sense of
strategy, especially when taking down bosses and the stronger enemies.  This strategy may not carry over if you are
teaming up with the AI.  Sheva, however,
is not  the only tool at your disposal.

The weapon upgrading system has
been carried over from the previous entry. 
In resident evil 4, you had different catagories of weapons (shotguns,
pistiols, rifles, etc.)   Each caragory had its own weapon that was
better than the rest.  This, in a way,
eliminates the implementation of weapon upgrades.  Why upgrade a weapon if you know you will be
selling the moment a better weapon comes along. 
Now, the weapons have been been properly balanced. An AK-47’s dominating
firepower has been evened out by way of the scorpion’ (submachine gun) critical
hit upgrades.  Capacity and firing fate
are other things that are different weapon from weapon, so this time you
actually have a real reson to own all the guns. 
You are still stuck with the inventory system, however you have a huge
“overflow”  box, so that you may keep
your extra items stashed away between missions. 
The problem with Resident Evil 4 was that you could not store all the
weapons away in your limited inventory box. 
While the guns may not have realistic upgrades, it is satisfying nonetheless. 

Just like ever installment in the
franchise, the visuals in Resident Evil 5 are incredible.  These could be the best graphics consumers
have experienced yet.  Everything looks
incredibly photo realistic, while giving it just enough glossiness to make it
feel pretty, without ruining the authenticity and immersion.   The soundtrack may not be able to hold a
candle to Martin 0’Donnell (halo) or Akira Yamaoka, (silent hill) although it
does chime in with perfect timing and definitely above average.   The framerates run silky smooth, giving
almost no indication of slowdown.  The
online component is also silky smooth, and is lag free depending on who you are
playing with. 

When you finish the game, you can
choose any chapter you like, which is nice for jumping into a game with another
player who has already started.  You may
also find yourself addicted to the Mercenaries mode, which has found its way
back from Resident Evil 4. 

In short, Resident evil 5 is a good
game, however it can at times be frustrating to fight with the seemingly dated
inventory system , all the while worrying about what enemies are creeping up
behind you.  The controls are also a
little dated, but for loyal fans of the series, it will suit them find.  Resident Evil 5 doesn’t feel much like any
other resident evil game, losing a lot of what made the other games a
suspenceful and scary experience.  This
was somewhat of a criticism in Resident Evil 4, but it was let go due to how
groundbreaking it was for the series. 
Instead Capcom left is with a great action game with a presentation that
is hard to match.

Gabe’s Fear 2 review for xbox 360

PROS:  Impressive
ambiance and music

                Decent length.
Piloting the mechs is always destructive and fun.

CONS:  Gameplay is
generic, and has not changed dramtically from the first FEAR.

                Not
that scary.

                the
variety of multiplayer modes is a nice addition, but armored front is the only
innovative mode.

                Story
is disappointing.

                Far too
much information provided via text on PDAs.

.. ..

.. ..

.. ..

In FEAR 2, you get to relive the ending of the first
game.  You are Beckett, a member of Delta
Force, chasing after Jeneaveve Arastine: the president of Armacham Technology.  Of course, Alma is back and is very much a
key role in the story.  The problem is
that FEAR 2 just isn’t as mysterious or scary as the first.  Alma is now a key character, thus removing
the curiosity that she provoked in us while playing the first FEAR.  Secondly, there aren’t many plot twists that
to keep you hooked into story and it feels like Monolith is running out of
ideas.  Most of the references to the
FEAR are scattered everywhere on PDAs that you have to read.  You could form a short novel with the amount
of text that you may or may not read. 

You will trudge your way through a decent variety of linear environments.  This is one of the areas where FEAR 2
improves over the first.   The elementary
school could arguably be the best part of the game. Unfortunately,  the outdoor portions of the game are just as linear
as the indoor ones.  You have a variety
of guns at your disposal, although most of them are standard for most shooters.  The only exceptions are the napalm launcher,
although enemies may recover after being torched, which may lead in your death
if they catch you by surprise.  The “hammerhead”(essentially
the “penetrator” from FEAR 1), reminds us how fun pinning enemies to the wall
can be.  The grenades, however, provide
more variety than the guns. You have 4 to choose from: proxy mines, incendiary,
shock grenades and frags.  These are fun
to use, although in the heat of a firefight, it may not be an option to cycle
through them.  You will also get a couple
oppurtunities to pilot a mech, to deliver some serious firepower.  These segments are challenging and fun. You
will get your hands on a turret from time to time, but these segments just aren’t
as fun as the mech segments, however they do help break up the gameplay.  Your other weapon, while not being a mech or
gun, is every bit as essential.  It is
the trust bullet-time that was present in the first FEAR.  It will end up being a crutch you lean on
most of the time, however you have to be careful when you use it.  Your slow-mo expiring at the wrong time can
prove fatal.

  The enemy variety
has been upgraded from the first FEAR.  A
new addition to the enemy roster is the remnant, which can duplicate himself.  Also abominations will crawl around, tempting
you to use your slow things down to get an easier shot on them.   And just like the first FEAR, there will be a
handful of boss battles that are always a blast, although not as challenging this
time around.  The enemy AI is a notch
above your average shooter, however they don’t seem as aggressive this time
around.  They are more content holding
their ground and throwing grenades, instead of flanking you.  They will also tip over objects to give
themselves cover.  You may do the same,
but some objects just aren’t tall enough to provide adequate cover and you may
as well save your time and use whatever cover is already available to you,
instead of getting lit up while tipping over a desk.  You may be more of a bullet sponge on the
normal difficulty, so tip away, however on hard difficulty, working fast is
your best bet.  All in all, FEAR 2 is not
that difficult of a game.  Even on the
hard difficulty, the experienced player will not see it as an serious challenge.  Sometimes frustration can set in when you
have just saved a check point, you have little health, and enemies are pouring
at you.  This is one reason many games
have ditched the health box system ad have moved onto regenerating health.  However, if you absolutely  cannot clear the checkpoint, you can always
turn down the difficulty setting.

FEAR 2 also has multiplayer over xbox live, however there
really isn’t anything too interesting here. 
Other than playing Armored Front mode where teammates can pilot a mech,
there isn’t anything here you haven’t experienced before.

Overall FEAR 2 is an average shooter experience. It simply doesn’t
break away from original formula often enough compel you to shell out sixty
bones for what feels like yet another expansion from the original game.

Graphics: 8/10

Story: 7/10

Gameplay: 7.5/10

FINAL VERDICT: 7/10
