Okay so this is just a first impression but I think that the Amazing Spider-man 2 the game is shit. I will admit that i enjoyed the movie even with its glaring turd stains upon it, like the over fucking hype and the green goblin only being on screen for literally five fucking minutes, Jamie Foxx pulled off Electro to the extend where i could accept him as a decent villain. But once again my standard rule of any game based on a movie is shit. the voice acting is laughable at best and the characters have a need to flail their arms about more than any humans should or is physically capable. The camera seems hell bent on making it easier for the so called 'bad guys' to beat me, but frankly they need all the help they can get. Although i have stated that any game based is doomed to fail, there has been exceptions to this rule. Two adaptions have managed to escape the turd storm of other adaptions. Namely: Spider-man 2 and Wolverine: Origins. Wolverine succeeded by being as far away from the actual movie as possible and Spider-man 2 broke free by having a actual good movie and realizing that the story was shit and making the web slinging feel like actual web slinging. But as this is a first impression, I could be wrong. Or it could be the turd in a blue and red suit I think it is.
Within the deep dark forest of the Web lives a bear that likes to watch movies, play video games, and rant about stuff. This is his story

Feel the love
Who knew that you could have such a profound
effect on my life? With the general elections having just occurred in South Africa, the
life sucking vultures called politicians have finished advertising their best lies in order to get my vote. The come to you all smiles and
promises but with a hidden agenda. Frankly this scares the shit out of me.
South Africa has always been on this delicate balance of peace and general
being totally fucked up due to the lack of competence of the leaders since
1994. Okay Mandela was able to save a country on the brink of war and lead us
down a path of porosity, but then his party kinda lost its punch. Being a white
male in a country where you are deemed a racist because of people you have
never met did, does leave one with few options. I live with this constant gaze
upon me like “what’s whitey gonna do?” often frustrates the shit out of me.
What makes it worse is that ignorant statements like “Only whites do that” re-enforces
the circle of hate that apparently whites are known for. If I call you a moron,
it’s because you a moron, not because you are white or black or even purple for
that matter. Just accept that you are an asshole and move on.

Thanks are due
Okay so I guess it’s no secret that I spend a
great deal of my time on the internet. Apparently I have internet addiction or
something…the website wasn’t very helpful. But the one thing I did find that
helped me was a YouTube video. This was a draw my life video made by the
YouTuber Markiplier. It was a video where, as the name suggests, he draws a
summary of his life. Now my life hasn’t been the best, but I have been more
fortunate than most and watching his video kind of enlighten me. He made his
channel to do something that he really wanted to do, and this blog is the same
story. I had been thinking about making a blog for years, but never just did.
Then I watched the video and it made me just do it. Kinda think of it as the
Nike of YouTube videos. I was always told that you should thank the people of
inspire you if get the chance. If he read this awesome…hi Mark and thanks. If
not….well then damn.
