I feel like I'm going to die.  My legs hurt, my feet hurt, my back hurts, my ears feel slightly stuffed, my throat is a little scratchy, and I'm probably exhausted beyond anything I've ever known.  However, with that being said, it was way more than worth it, because the Rammstein concert last night was extremely awesome!

I won't spoil it with too many details, because I know allviolet will being going with her boyfriend to see them on Thursday up in Philly.  But just know, that your house has not been rocked until you've been to a Rammstein concert.  In fact they don't just rock the house, they rock and flamethrower it down, only to have it then blow up in a Volgin-esqe fireworks display.

I don't know if they're going to break-up or not, but I hope they don't.  I would love to see them just one more time, if possible.  But if not, I am happy to have seen them not once but twice in my life.  And yes, for the record, when they came out, I did start shaking and crying.  I don't know why I get like that when they come on stage?  I guess they just move me!

Edit- I forgot to mention some stuff.  The concert started about a half an hour/ 45 minutes behind schedule.  I don't know why, but it did.  We didn't get an opening act, just some guy dj-ing, playing techno versions of Rammstein songs, which was good, but why have a (turkey) hot dog when you can have a big juicy (turkey) burger (Sorry I don't eat beef or pork but feel free to take out both turkey statements).  When Rammstein did get on stage, they played straight through and there wasn't an intermission.  Hence why I feel like I lost a fist fight with a steamroller.  Jose had a good time.  He had never been to a rock concert before, so I was glad this was his first experience at one.  I think seeing all the oddly dressed people was something new to him, but he adjusted well (sorta).

This is what I said this morning after watching the Gametrailer.com Pop-up video trailer for Resident Evil 6, Just for Kicks.

Wesker Junior?!  Really???  Wesker and his orouborous/ plagas/ T-virus/ G-virus/ L M N O P-virus infected self had a kid?  Really????  You're really going to go down that dark, stupid, sorry road Crapcom?  Ughhhhhhh....  And I am fairly certain that Wesker's son, is probably going to be some type of clone something, ah~la Metal Gear Solid 1 or even more cheese-tastic, he'll be his son from like Annette Berkin, or Jill, or the monster chick from Code Veronica, or something like that.  Just so they can tack on some "oh Wesker's son has Wesker's virus juice in him, so lets make some Wesker virus lemonade, yum!"  Sigh...  Fine, whatever...  But let the record show that y'all can go to hell!

My second biggest rant is about this "C-Virus".  C-Virus, really?  So what's next after that?  We had T and G, now we're up to C; only thing left is P, V, Z.  I guess it's better than continuing with the whole orouborous/ plagas storyline, because that was getting really stale and it was like come on now.  But still, we're really going that C-Virus route?  Sigh...  *Insert eye roll*.

Minor things, like Sherry coming back, I don't really have a problem with too much.  Ada is still going around all flying out of windows and doing whatever it is she does.  Chris still looks, as Zero Punctuation so eloquently put it, "like someone put a Chia Pet on top of a refrigerator", also they dumped the black chick he was with in the last RE game, for some emo looking dude.  I'm sure slash fan-fic writers will be thoroughly amused; as for myself, I'm like, "meh, whatever".

But once again Crapcom, you kinda had me, now you lost me.  And that's not to say that when this claptrap comes out later this year I won't sit and watch it on Youtube, but y'all do get on my last nerve.

Oh and here's the trailer if you want to see what I'm taking about:

Operation Raccoon City can eat it!

Pretty much its just a Left For Dead Clone with a slight Resident Evil theme.  Well that and the zombies don't run after you like they do in Left For Dead.  Pretty much I've watched 3 and a half parts and I wasn't scared at all.  Do you know how easy it is to scare me?!  Primary example, I was outside early this morning looking for the newspaper and our sprinklers started making creepy gurgling sounds because they were about to come on.  Because it sounded so scary I not only screamed (and probably woke up the neighborhood) but jumped what seemed like a 10 feet into the air.  So if I'm scared momentarily by a sprinkler then come on now.  Plus if you really want me to curl up in a ball in fear just throw a zombie something at me.  Zombies always scare the pants off me, but no, not this.

Really, if you want to break it down there are several things that scare me in the Resident Evil world, zombies, then the crimson head zombies, and Hunters.  Oh nothing will make me scream like a little girl quicker than a hunter jumping at me.  And they have all of these in Operation Raccoon City, but I'm not so much scared as I am annoyed and bored.  Poor Shinji, his creation has gone so far down the toilet that it can never hope to raise its head up in pride ever again.  I know he doesn't work for Crapcom anymore but still, I'm sure it must really suck to see something you created brutalized so badly.  As I said on Facebook, if Shinji were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave.

*Watches more only to turn away in disgust.* (Yet I continue to watch?)

Oh this game is a mess!  It's on for free and I want my money back!  But much like any horrifying car wreck I can't stop watching.

See, one of the drawbacks of not doing a podcast anymore is I have no idea when anything is coming out.  I thought Silent Hill wasn't due out until March 31st, but nooooo, it was the 13th.  Now I just find out that the new Resident Evil is already out and not that I care about it (although I will be Youtubing it tomorrow at some point) but you understand that I'm WAAAAAAAAYYYYY behind on my video game release dates and that's totally not like me at all. 

Even if I have no interest in something, I can usually tell you when the release date will be.  Man this whole "family life"/ "being an adult" thing bites the big one, because its causing me to miss out on the really important things in life, like video game release dates, convention dates, and what's going on in the world of Lolita (although I could have done without the "Cherish My Juicy Cherry" bit today, but you get what I'm saying!).

Oh for the days when I use to find those things super important to my existence.  Adulthood reeks!

I was on Facebook and one of my friends said that Baby The Stars Shines Bright's newest print dress is really cute, but the title leaves a little to be desired.  So me, being curious about the name, went to the link and there it was in big red print, "Cherish My Juicy Cherry"?!

I don't know whether to laugh until my side hurts or be mortified.

In either case, its a very tragic name for an otherwise pretty print.

I spent most of the day watching a walkthrough of Silent Hill Downpour and I have to say it was better than I expected.  I thought it would be a big mess much like the truck dude story and Silent Hill Mammaries, but it was surprisingly creepy and I have to say that I am a little afraid of the dark now (a sign of a good survival horror game).  Right now I'm on part 25 of 36 and I'm terrified for my life.  I'm not sure what's going on (because I'm writing this), but the sounds coming from Youtube are really scary.  I am dreading having to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.  I mean even though the bathroom is in our bedroom, its still kinda dark (we have a nightlight) and creepy.

I think this is going to be the last part for tonight, cause I can't take the creepiness.  I hear some little kid giggling, which is ALWAYS a bad sign in a horror game or movie.  It usually means a monster is about to pop out of nowhere and I don't think I can take anymore scary stuff tonight.

But the new Silent Hill is pretty creepy, I was a bit skeptical, but not anymore.  Oh and while it is creepy, its still missing something, I'm not sure what that something is, but its missing a little something.  Maybe its the soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka I don't know, but it still isn't super digging mega deep into your mind scary like SH 2.  And I still hate that when you enter Otherworld, you still have that paint pealing effect.  Can we please wrap that up now?!

At the urging of my brother, I decided to check out the Resident Evil 6 (Just for kicks) trailer and I don't know...  It looks suspiciously promising.  But see, that's how Crapcom gets you.  They'll throw a trailer out there that looks all promising and wonderful, but then you get the game and it just dies a sad pitiful death and people are left bemused and disgusted.  I know all about Crapcom and their little schemes and scams.

So while it may look interesting and much more like the older Resident Evil games, before they started on all that Plagas and Oroburo whatever-ness, I'm still not willing to embrace it...

Oh here's the trailer for it in case you're curious:

Don't ask me why I just wasted 1 minute and 18 seconds of my life on the new Resident Evil Movie trailer, but that's 1 minute and 18 seconds of my life I will never get back.

First and foremost, why is the first half of the trailer a commercial for Sorny products?!  What is that supposed to mean?!  Then at the end of the Sorny product placement hour, it goes from imagine a wonderful world of Sorny and now a horrible zombie ridden post-apocalyptic world with that Mila Jololovich girl...  Oooooooh.  But then they had that Latino girl from the first movie in it too and its like what is this?!  Didn't she get all bit and turn into a zombie?!  Not that Michelle Rodriquez (I just remembered her name) is like the Bill Paxton of Latino actors/ actresses; but I digress...  Why is she even in it?!  What sense does that make if she was turned into a zombie?!

Then the threw Ada Wong into the mix is its just like, grrrrrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooan!!!!!!!!  Really?!  Are we really going there?!  Sigh... 

I can't take it anymore.  These movies are getting worse and worse (getting?!) and I can't understand why they insist, I mean INSIST on making more of them?!

Well, I'll put the link up, but be warned this will cause you to go blind so watch at your own risk!

Groan....

Oh hey an unlocked post....

But there is a pretty interesting article over on MSN about a photographer who did a photographic essay on Children around the world and their bedrooms.  It's both interesting and kinda sad.  In the 3rd world children's room are just sheets, not even a bed or something soft to sleep on and in the non-3rd world the children have rooms packed full of toys and stuff.  Hence little Kaya, a future Lolita in training, her room is jam packed full of dresses, toys, and bags.



By the way, her mom makes all of her dresses (I thought that was an AP dress when I first saw it).

But its a pretty interesting article I think you should check it out.
