Excuse You? No F*ck You!
18 June 2007
Still no internet as of yet. I'm trying to get a phone line connected but BT's call centre is being annoying. I keep getting queued up for ages and when I ask them to call me back, they ring when I'm trying to cook something. Obviously that means I miss the call so I have to go back to the start of the queue again /sigh. If I ever manage to get through, it's going to be another 10 working days until they can connct me I think. Then I have to get my ISP sorted which will probably take another few days. I'll be lucky to have broadband by the end of the month. What's annoying is that I've paid for the month of June on FFXI and I'll only have used 2 days. Oh well.
I bought another game for the PS2 on Friday. It's Yakuza, the game with the most amount of swearing ever. Not a single conversation goes by with out 'shit', 'motherf*cker', or 'bastard' cropping up. But it really makes for some good laughs. Then English dubbing is probably the best in terms of humour since Shenmue. Which is not surprising considering how much the rest of the game is like Shenmue. From the way the main character walks, to the various mini-games, and fights, it's all very similar. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this game was going to be Shenmue 3 before they decided it wouldn't be commercially viable. Still, it's no disadvantage to have so much similarity with one of the greatest games of all time. It's almost as much fun to play. The sheer amount of pain you can dish out in the battles is extremely satisfying. From smashing people over the head with neon lights and potted plants, to slicing people with katanas and beating people with dustbins. It's certainly a nice way to relieve some stress. Which there may be from time to time. Unfortunately the game does suffer from slight camera issues, as well some slightly biased fights where the enemy keeps interrupting your moves when you're trying to beat someone up. Apart from that though, it's a solid game. The story is engrossing enough, despite the ham acting at times, and the overall game experience is well worth the money. I'd recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed Shenmue or even Streets of Rage. I can't wait for the sequel!

WOW!!! Such LANGUAGE! and NUDAGE! ROCK ON! lol Zan was thoroughly shocked to read your blog lately and see all the nude cartoonies. He obviously doesn't pay much attention to your perverse side during the game. *grin* Good luck getting all systems GO with the phone and internet. It's always a pain when you move and have to set up everything all over again.
The title of this post come from the greatest quote from a computer game ever. You really have to watch the scene to realise how hilarious it is. You're walking down the street, turn into an alley and bump into some guy. Your character says, "Excuse me", to which the guy replies, "Excuse you?! No, F- you!". It's a brilliant piece of cinema if I ever saw one. The whole game is just filled with classic moments like that. In particular the way random punks on the street suddenly aggro you as you're walking by and acuse you of something you've clearly not done. Great stuff.
As for the pictures lately, there's a simple reason for that. Not enough good pictures of Reina/Sayumi/Risa available at the moment so I've had to resort to the next best thing: risque anime! /laugh You can't beat a bit of ecchi in the morning (read into that what you will...)
The phone line should be sorted out soon. My step-mum gave me the deposit that's required so now all that's needed it for BT to connect me. After I get that sorted I can apply for Orange broadband via the internet. That takes 10 days to set up so hopefully I'll be back online by early July. /phew
