I was at GameStop about to buy a new copy of The Suffering. I was surprised I managed to find a new copy of the game. I accidently found it, because I walked 4 miles off target and needed a breather. So, I go back two days later with my mom. She was in the car so as I prompted her to get out the lady read the ESRB content of the game. My mom quit caring what I played around 12 or so. If she ever thought a game to violent she'd express some ammount of concern, I'd express a rebuttle and a few days later I beat the game and wa sback to Crash, Spyro, or Snow Board Kids. So, as she stood there getting the ESRB read to, and the woman emphasizing Drugs and Violence. I lied to my mom, big time, when she asked me about that. To the drugs I said,"Yeah, the man does tons of them. Like crack, coke, meth, weed, LSD, and many more!" for violence I replied,"Yeah, there's tons of rape! I MEAN TONS!" my mom then buys the game after the woman wont shut up about how the game is unsuitable for someone who's not 17! At this point she didn't know my age. I replied,"I just turned 15 there's not much difference in two years." She interupts with something so I interupt her with,"Fine, say my mom doesn't buy me this. I'll just go home, emulate some games, and steal porn." the woman looks at me with defeat, I hand her the cash, and my mom didn't care one bit I a) Got me a 17 rated game (OH NOES) and b) looked at porn. The funny part was a little while before I went to buy the Warriors at Best Buy. I handed the man the cash, the man asked no questions. My mom was not interupted in her order, nor I mine. As an FYI, she was two people ahead of me. I really wish stores would be like that when someone looks atleast 15+. What's worse is I was once carded for a TEEN rated game. I never went back to that GameStop.
Now let us fastforward to when I was 17. I go to buy Dead Rising: Drop Till You Chop. I get carded, have to get my mom (she had been putting off getting me a state ID for a year now). As they read the box to her and I hand them the money, this little kid behind me is buying it on the 360. They're talking about it with his mom. I figured," OH probabally explaining the differences between the two (as he went in looking fo rthe Wiiversion when he didn't own a Wii) and what's in the game." as I put more focus towards that conversation, I hear that they're egging her on to buy her son the game, while they told my mom to not buy me the game. They're telling her it's a good game for kids, and all this. That he'll love it, and blah blah blah. As my mom and I walk out, we both commented on that. How they told two different stories to the same picture. If anything it should've been reversed as A I didn't look 10 and the 360 version is worse then the Wii version. Seriously, this ESRB shit is more hassle then it's worth when you're older. What I like is how I'm now a "regular" at a gamestop that if 4 employee's see me they know I'm 18 and I'm no longer carded. Yay for being ditched at gamestop for hours!]]> 1246353313 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:15:13 -0500 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1244515717&archive=
I would "upgrade" to a PS3 if they still played PS2 games. Seriously, I play my Wii and PS2 the most.There's about 5-8 PS3 games I want, so I'm far from a hurry to upgrade, and I can just get the games for PC. I would pay the $600, or what ever it was, for an orignal 60GB.

Edit:
I wont go 360 as I personally do not like it. Yes, I'm aware it's identicle to a PS3, but screw it. A system with that many faults, and the pay for internet service? Count me out. I'm also against Microsoft being in the console race, and still a little mad at them for Sega.]]> 1244515717 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:48:37 -0500 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1242588297&archive= Persona 3:FES

Major updates - Nintendo has so far had 3 major updates. That is 3 real reasons to update your Wii. 1 was to allow your Wii to use WiiWare. I only know this because my friend has a 1.x Wii and can't pirate WiiWare.The WiiSpeak use. It can't be used unless you update.Then there's the SD slot uprade. Now we get 32GB SD cards and run off SD cards. That helps a lot and some hackers upgraded just for this simple use.
2. Achievements of a sort. This one I mildly agree with. Trophies and achievements are a fun thing for gamers but people overdo them. All the fighting and comparing scores is a bit on the retarded side. If you look at my PSN account you'll see I've few trophies on games that offer a decent ammount of gameplay. I only go after trophies if a game is so shallow that I need something to hunt after. They could simple do a major update that'll work with your Wii console code. Then the scoring could be you get stars. Something is woth like 10 stars, or 30 stars, or fucking coins even. Then the really hard one's would be worth Stars or 1ups. Point is, they could work it in, and people would be a bit happier as they could now compare scores.
3.Make friend codes easier to deal with. It gets annoying because I've all my friends registered to my console, then when I go online I've to register them again. Now, they can do it where if you've registered to the console then it'll auto register them if they have the game. They can do this, Metroid Prime 3 did this. When I logged in I had half the peopel auto-registered. Then I met some new people, but only wanted them on MP3 so I just registered their MP3 code. This would allow WiFi to be way better. As you could atleast be instantly with your friends from the start. Then you can choose to add people later, or just use the fucking console code for all games.
4.Online for Virtual Console. This one is a double positive for Nintendo. It would make people more inclined to buying Vitual Console games because now they can hop on Mario Kart 64 and WiFi people. Sure, I could play Mario Kart Wii, but I like battle on 64 better. Then if I wanted I could hop on StarFox64 and blast people.Then I could switch to Pokemon Puzzle League and see how I compare to people around the world. Why is it a double positive? Well, aside from making people more inclined to buying VC games then it would require you to update, like Nintendo Channel does, to use it. That way pirates wont be able to play online. This would give people way more of a reason to update, as it could practically force them, and playing old school games online would be loads of fun. Also if they threw in WiiSpeak options, that'd be even more amazing!
5. A fucking headset. WiiSpeak doesn't look too bad to me, but the way my family is, I wont be able to hear people and all people will hear is my family yelling at everyone. Say I'm playing an FPS online. I need to know what people want me to do(yes I'm a teamworker, sometimes) but I can't hear because of my family and no one else on my team can hear because my family is screaming and yelling.A headset could be easily done. It could be plugged into the bottom of the WiiMote. I mean, what's 1 more extension? Motion+,Nunchuck, then a headset? I'd be fine with that.
6. Allow us to use the SD cards as memory cards for save data. I would really like to be able to choose to load or save a game to or from the Flash drive or SD card. It gets annoying when I go to my friend's house and have to copy data, or copy his,delete his, then copy mine.
7. Cut back on the fucking load times. I'm sorry, when my Wii turns on it's connects to WiiConnect24 right away, well in a few minutes. So why is it I've to connect to WiiConnect 24, then log into the shop channel, then get to shop? Honestly that's fucking bullshit. Yeah, that first screen that just says "Wii" is you connecting to WiiConnect24 and your internet, AGAIN. Then the news channel and forecatse channel reconnect you to WiiConnect24(will now be WC24 as I'm getting tired of typing it), connect to the channels, then download the updates, then reconnect to the channels. It gets to be really annoying to use anny channel that uses the internet, or game. Yes, even the games connect to WC24 then the server. Seeing as how my Wii starts out on WC24. I should be able to either skip the connection test and WC24 connect part and just try to connect directly to the shop, or be auto-connected to the shop, news, forecast, and any other internet based channel after a few minutes of being loaded, automatically if you leave it in idle WC24 mode. It's also really fucking annoying with I try to go to an operations guide for a game and I have to connect to the shop channel to view it.
8. Let us see what the fuck our friends are doing, or if they're on their Wii. The address book is a bit pointless because all you can do is send WiiMail. I'd like to know if my friend is online so I know if he'll get the gift I sent him, or if he's playing a game or not.
9. Multi-console download. I'm sorry, in this day and age it's more then likely you'll get robbed, and a Wii is a hot item. I've way over $300 worth of VC and WiiWare games. The fact that if my Wii gets stolen I'd have to buy them all over again pisses me off. That's really bad for consumers. That's actually a reason people pirate VC and WiiWare games. You're basically renting them on that console only, now buying them for your account. How could they limit this? Well, your account could have a limit of the ammount of Wii's it's allowed on, or you send proof it's your account and that it's your new Wii.
10. Allow more dual-layerd games. IF your Wii still can't play Dual-Layer discs then it's your fault for not sending it in. Some games have been capped down a lot because they couldn't get a dual layerd disc. House of the Dead OVERKILL would've been much better if they could've gotten a dual-layer disc. This would allow for more content, better models, and better level designs.
11. New Mii outfits. It's been out for 3 years now, add some more fucking Mii shirts, hats, hairstlyes, and looks all around. My Mii still barely looks like me.

Those are some things I feel would help Nintendo all around. They'd help Nintendo boost sells, stop being so much made fun of by the gaming community, and help stop piracy.
If you agree with any of this then I suggest sending this to Nintendo.

MadWorld- Get it. It's really intense and crazy awesome.

Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop- Eh, depends on how much you like simply murdering zombies. There are a fair ammount of zombies. At 39.99 not really reccommended, if it drops to 19.99, then I'd recommend.
(Edit: turned out to not be so bad. It was very bland at first but it started picking up. The new zombies they added made the game more fun and harder.)
Fallout 3 - Depends on how much you like walking. I do not recommend it. If it's price dropped $10-$20 then I'd say go a head. IF you didn't like Oblivion then you probabally wont like F3. It's no F1 or F2.

More detailed reviews will come soon on each.]]> 1237851181 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:33:01 -0500 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1237773995&archive= 1237773995 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:06:35 -0500 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1237604355&archive= Also MadWorld=awesome.]]> 1237604355 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:59:15 -0500 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1237253796&archive= 1237253796 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 20:36:36 -0500 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1235805015&archive= 1235805015 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 01:10:15 -0600 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1235086099&archive= 1235086099 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:28:19 -0600 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1231639991&archive= www.elvenmonk.net/cutenews/. So to start, I orignally did not plan this post instead I had a cool post on Hitler and Nickelodean, but you get this. You want that Hitler one, don't you? So what's more important then Hitler and Nick? Preservation organizations. I FUCKING HATE THEM. Why? Because, they're ran by a bunch of fucking retards and their members assume they're automatically better by being a member. Also, they're pretty much bordering the line of terrorism some days. Sure, they are a good cause. You know, save the planet, save the animals, or save some other shit. They start out good, but lose their way. What I mean is, at first they're about helping, then they're just about anti-humanism. They go through anymeans to stop humans from doing what is neccessary to live if it affects their "protected" crap. Still sounding good 'till they lost their minds. What brings this up? PETA. The worst of all preservation organizations. You know, the animal people. The people who say it's wrong to abuse, kill, eat, muder, milk, or use animals. First off, let me point out how much a hypocrite PETA is. Did you know in 2007 PETA killed 90% of the animals they had in their care? Want you proof? Here PETA PROOF LINK. They, also for some magical fucking reason, want Ben and Jerry's to change their cow milk to breast milk. (LINK OF PROOF) Along side their other crazy and whacky things, they've the right to now ask that fish be renamed "Sea Kittens" (ONCE AGAIN PETA PROOF LINK) So, as if their last request wasn't dumb enough they now request this. However, if you go to the seakitten link I advise you to read the book. So, yeah, they're requesting we name fish to seakittens! How fucking dumb is that? Their goal is to get people to stop eating fish, well fish isn't high on the market to begin with (I mean sure it's a good seller but compared to steak or hamburger's it's nothing.). So, to name it sea-kittens probabally wouldn't affect current eaters, and maybe some new ones. The problem is that there are still some countries who main export is fish, and during this economic crisis, the last thing you want to do is hurt another country. Now, PETA has gradually been losing it. With their almost nude advertisements, slander, and retarded requests. Also, don't forget PETA says burgerly and arson are A-Okay if you're saving animals.Also that they have given money ($1500) to Earth Liberation Front (ELF) which has been designated a terrorist organization by the FBI during 2001. They have also donated money to Rodney Coronado, an operative of the Animal Liberation Front, who has been convicted of the firebombing of a Michigan State University lab on Feb. 28, 1992. They donated $45,200 to the Rodney Coronado Support Fund. I say it's time we over-throw PETA. Stop them, get rid of them, finish them off. When we're done with PETA the world will be aslightly better place, next on the list would be the world savers.]]> 1231639991 Sat, 10 Jan 2009 20:13:11 -0600 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1230809145&archive= ]]> 1230809145 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 05:25:45 -0600 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1230437472&archive= PICTURE1. No those pirates are fucking awesome. I'm talking about these pirates: PICTURE2. Note, I've no clue what the fuck is up with that picture, I just googled and that came up. Yes, I'm talking about internet piracy. It's just out of control these days. I'm laughed at by just about everyone I know for buying CD's. I'm sure you reading are at dismay about someone buying CDs who's not over 45. Yes, I, as a 17 year old buy CDs. I support the bands I like. Plus, most bands I listen to run their own record labels, so it's win win for them. Then a lot of my friends are confused as I'm a PC gamer, but I buy PC games. Spore DRM did not bug me one bit, to start off with. If anyone with half a fucking brain could read, the DRM had 3(initially) installs, then you'd call EA and get 3 more installs, call, get three more. Yes, it's troublesome, but it wasn't just 3 installs then buy the game. If gamers don't want DRM's and shit then be trustworthy. The only reason there's DRM's and shit like that is because of fucking pirates. People were stealing games so they needed a protection so the developers don't get fucked out of money. I'm also positive that if you got rid of DRM's you'd cut possibily $5 or $10 off a game's price. CD keys were a nice alternative to DRM, but the problem was they were cracked too easily. Then we've got software that costs 1000's because of people pirating. The whole world economy is getting fucked because of pirating. People aren't buying software and games like they used to. It's so bad that developers are going out of buisness for it, that EA is getting rid of their studios. Gamers bitch and moan about DRM and how they can be trusted, but they can't. You want some proof gamers can't be trusted? The Sega Dreamcast. One person found out the Dreamcast can run CDs, then that if you had this one disk and burned a game to a blank CD you can run a game, then eventually you didn't need the boot disk. I would go to a friend's house and they'd have 40 Dreamcast games, all burned. People wonder why Sega went out of the console buisness, and why they refuse to make a new console. Then the thing that pisses me off the most about fucking internet pirates is they believe they're not stealing. The most common thing I hear is,"We're not stealing because we're not getting a physical copy." I'm sorry but even taking a digital copy is stealing. You're not paying $50 for the CD(You're really paying about $1 for the CD) you're paying for the digital data. So, yes you're fucking stealing. Even if you were paying $50 for the CD it's still fucking stealing. I hate that excuse,"It's not stealing." everytime some dumb fuck say that I want to punch them. I really wish we could nip this piracy issue in the butt and get it over with. It's ruining every buisness possible. Then pirates want to complain it's unconstitutional to have anti-piracy laws because it's not stealing, and it's a right. Yes, some e-pirates believe they've the natural right to steal what they want through the internet.

I hate e-pirates, and those lame ass water pirates. There's only one good pirate and that's Maddox.

Now, time to play some Uplink.]]> 1230437472 Sat, 27 Dec 2008 22:11:12 -0600 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1230245266&archive= Merry Christmas.]]> 1230245266 Thu, 25 Dec 2008 16:47:46 -0600 http://www.elvenmonk.net/?subaction=showfull&id=1229831278&archive= Beat the following games:
