Poem- “A Giant Ego”

“A Giant Ego”

A baseball player is a giant ego.

It’s always possible for him to foul, deceive, and score.

He can never lose points.

You only get points in baseball or else you get zero.

No baseball team ever loses points.

Do you ever see a baseball team with a score in negative numbers?

There’s nothing opposition can do except to get even more points.

A baseball player needs to catch, trick, and fool others.

The audience just can’t decide who to cheer for.

Heroes can get distracted from cheer; opponents can succeed in disgrace.

Keeping your eye on the ball takes patience and irritation.

He hits the ball from moment to moment of some accidental judgement.

When the umpire goes blind, how does he snap on a glove and feel curses?

Poem- “Art and History”

“Art and History”

A “false” history in a work of art can be legal.

A false history in the education system of learning is illegal.

With art, you can make up a new history by fiction.

With school, you cannot just make up a “new” history.

You can’t give false records in history class.

You must tell the teacher and other students what really happened.

True history isn’t a work of art.

With schools of learning, a “new” history is not allowed.

A permanent record must be saved for judgement and correction.

You can create a work of art.

But, you cannot “create” history.

History is already there.

Poem- “The Nature of It”

“The Nature of It”

A vulgar man will probably say,

“I do everything I can to help.”

Watch out!

This parade float ends up making some focus of error.

He accepts everything you are, screws you up and has no regrets.

A man with flesh can say, “Let me help you!”

Videogame Review, Wreckfest for the Playstation 5

Videogame Review, Wreckfest for the Playstation 5

This is a modern classic.  It’s rock, heavy metal, and old-feeling in music.  Cars do fight upon their wheels of motion, gearing up for victory and even losing can feel entertaining after taking out rivals.  Keep in mind that Wreckfest isn’t real.  How could it be?  Just look at the outrageous content!  Wreckfest is free with PS Plus membership but you’ll need to download costs into real performance for the challenge.  Some content can be excused.  For example, you can drive a bus on a dirt course for the daily challenge even if the difficulty is obviously extreme and unlikely.  Maintenance for loss is digestion of the extreme with small breaking points.  The PS5 controller does seem to have some random tactical feedback.  Of course, I’m not an expert in driving.  I’m mentally ill and can’t drive.  So, I play racing and driving games to at least give my pedestrian view a trust on imaginary environmentalism.  The difficulty levels are very fair.  You get options for a variety of players including the naughty ones who enjoy extremes.  Maybe the PS5 controller should be this “random” when we’re considering life-like tracks and courses for amusement and fumes.  To date, this is probably the best racing game I’ve played in terms of management for crashes and accidents; so, there’s something to be said.  My Sega Saturn video game console has primitive racing games.  We didn’t get a lot of video for racing until the Nintendo 64 video game console was released.  (Mario Kart 64 does not count!)  Wreckfest speaks of power and demands attention for struggle within reach of overbalancing counterparts in terms of vehicles, roads, and obstacles.  The car’s stock parts should do just fine for novice difficulty.  For the life of modern technology we do get infobesity or information overload and it takes guts and learning for moment-to-moment improvement on the racetracks.  Like I’ve said the PS5 game isn’t real.  How could it be?  It’s too dangerous-looking to be taken seriously.  Besides, if you’ve watched real-life racing on cable TV, you know what reality really is- slow, dull, and unmomentous.  Riding lawn equipment does have advantages for fun and entertainment when we’re able to look at TV and not risk our lives.  Videogames have that benefit.  We can watch TV, watch violent programs, and not get hurt from doing so.  You don’t watch a Robin Hood movie and say, “Ouch, that hurts!”  TV is very fictional.  It works for amusement, fantasy, and imagination and wonder.  Still, Wreckfest does issue its version of chaos and disorder.  This isn’t real driving and thank goodness for that!  Even Mario Kart can suggest violence.  (What?  Using thunderbolts on drivers isn’t dangerous?)  As an expert player in Mario Kart I do recommend that you play Wreckfest with a mind for heavy metal and rock as well as shocking, electrifying circumstances.  I really like the fantasy and fiction in Wreckfest.  You will hear lyrics in songs that will distract you if you take them too seriously and the poetry of the music is only suggestive of vibrations in movement.  For example, you will hear lyrics that say, “It doesn’t matter where the pain is coming from…”, although, in reality with this PS5 game, you’re supposed to know where the pain is coming from.  Those lyrics are just evidence of ignorance upon battle and fighting.  This PS5 game for the Playstation 5 really lifted up my mood and I feel pleased with the humorous lessons of combat against would-be drivers.

Videogame Review, Tetris 2 for the NES Top Loader (w/ Brand New Videogame Console)

Videogame Review, Tetris 2 for the NES Top Loader (w/ Brand New Videogame Console)

For judgements to disappear, we need to stop having favorites and that is impossible.  Living includes choice, preference, and suggestion.  A controller runs on buttons and hands.  For the moment I don’t think we have a lot of controllers for our feet.  My video game console comes with a “dogbone” controller.  Honestly, I wasn’t expecting Tetris 2 to run on my brand new video game console at all because it’s a bit dirty for new condition and I’ve even resorted to using my NES Cleaning Kit.  Believe it or not, when I clean the machine’s pin connector, there’s significant improvement.  At least I haven’t run into any malfunctions for Tetris 2 except for slightly buzzing video that happens for a second or two.  This form of video has always been there for my brand new game cartridge.  Maybe something would’ve been different for the game cartridge and video game machine 20 years ago or more but I can’t make a proper judgement for any lack of experience.  My experience rests with the present or the future and the past, while considered, involves limits of reference.  The past did happen and it’s not a guess; the present happens and is to be determined; the future will happen but it’s a guess- the problem with history has to do with prediction, analysis, and examination.  Remember that the Nintendo Entertainment System is only so much in the past.  We still have NES games on Nintendo’s modern video game console.  Now my NES Top Loader is a little disaster waiting to happen as long as I’m pulling out games and testing them for play.  Some video game retailers don’t test a game for play; they just test a game for video and power, which is not gameplay without experience and challenge.  A business may say, “The system has been tested.”  But, some video game retailers are heartless, cold, and bitter.  That’s because money can get anyone down in our community.  Money is a ticket for the ever-changing community of good news and bad news and that impacts the meaning of money.  You pay someone for water, then he pays someone for alcohol, then that other person pays someone for life insurance.  It’s really quite sad.  Money works because we can get specific items with a broad, universal ticket of sorts.  Yet, this money leads to surprises and disappointments as history repeats itself.  Where was I?  Oh, yes.  Tetris 2.  It’s a good puzzle game.  Just don’t expect to play the game forever.  In fact, the game is rather short even if you were to beat everything and I don’t think you’re literally going to beat everything.  I would suspect a bad game if everything was victory for it.  Tetris 2 has obstacles for consideration and the sparks of color really pull me in.  It’s not the Super Nintendo; but, the Nintendo Entertainment System can be “super”.  Take Super Mario Bros. for example.  Controls improve rather nicely with the dogbone controller.  My hands really grab onto the device and I’m able to angle my shots with greater precision.  And, there’s only a couple of buttons.  The Playstation 5 controller isn’t a quick device to use due to time constraints upon Sony’s innovation.  My NES Top Loader was very dirty on the inside and, for the present, I’m keeping my eye on it and I love the easy function.  The “old” Nintendo Entertainment System was a total train wreck.  Now I’ve got more power with my Nintendo stuff.

“Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Sugar is sweet,

And so are you.”

You know that’s not true.

It’s a false message with rhyme,

Like a big, fat mouth.

Are all roses red?

(No.)

Are all violets blue?

(No.)

Is sugar always sweet?

(No.)

Are you red, blue, and sweet all over?

Yuck!

I don’t want a “flower” made of sugar.

Poem- “Our Money”

“Our Money”

Money is a community standard.

Money is not a personal creation.

Art is personal creation, not money.

You can only make money by following community standards.

The money is not exactly “yours” to keep.

Our nation has money for use within community standards.

It’s for goods and services.

Money itself is not yours to keep forever.

If you need anything from other people, you must spend the money.

Or else, you get nothing, or, you just need a specific trade-in of allowance.

You can’t wish for a price and harass someone into bargain.

For example, you can’t walk up to me with a duck and make me buy it.

I will refuse your duck and, if necessary, call the police.

The bread costs money, the milk costs money.

A house comes with the price.

You need to get food and water or else you die.

That’s why we have politics.

Money is a community standard.

We question, answer, and judge the matter for our community.

“Body Weight”

To know your body weight, you must “read” numbers on a weight scale.

Therefore, some people do not know their body weight.

If they do not read, they do not read numbers on a weight scale.

So they do not know body weight.

Videogame Review, Oddworld Soulstorm for the Playstation 5 (PS5)

Videogame Review, Oddworld Soulstorm for the Playstation 5 (PS5)

Objects in the game keep changing and I can’t make sense of it.  For the Playstation 5, the game can never be final.  You get updates, downloads, and a constant flow of data that runs on internet.  Super Mario World was final; Super Mario World was completed in time for the holidays and no updates were necessary.  Why?  Because Super Mario World, a classic game for the Super Nintendo, was a program running without internet.  Oddworld Soulstorm does have appeal to some gamers who don’t bother with whatever they know is unreal or uncool.  If you’ve played with this PS5 game before, you know exactly what’s wrong with it.  When I’m playing with the Playstation 5 I expect for my character to have a gun that actually works instead of firing bullets in unlikely areas.  Doesn’t the campfire have too much of a surprise?  I think so.  In fact, I know so.  A campfire should leave my character behind it hidden from the enemy.  Especially if the fire is big enough, my character should remain hidden from sight; but, what happens is, the enemy will fire at me even when I’m supposed to be hidden from view.  You’re probably thinking, “Well, the enemy can see you when you approach him.”  Ah!  Not always.  At times I will make my character run up to an enemy on purpose and, for some reason, he will just look at me and not do anything about it.  Sometimes he won’t attack me even when he sees me.  Also, the mine traps may not work for some buggy reason of data that I can’t explain.  The audio is really, really poor.  My home theater system sounds more like a normal TV with Oddworld Soulstorm.  If anything, the audio is so unpredictable and inconsistent that I almost confused the PS5 game for a vintage video tape.  (I have a brand new VHS player right in my house.  I know what a video tape sounds like.)  At least this PS5 game was free with my PS Plus membership.  Modern technology is a struggle for electric virtue.  Updates help a lot.  Still, the PS5 game is not final and, from the present view of life, the PS5 game needs internet to work at all.  The Playstation 5 video game console can’t be final since players and gamers don’t follow the rules well.  Here, for Oddworld Soulstorm, I think there should be more quality for the rules.  You’re expected to play this game and have doubt and entertainment about the graphics and audio.  You will need some of your own humor to pull off moves and goals.  The challenge is puzzling but erratic.  When playing the game I must fool around with enemies who don’t know their targets well and manage their weapons like bugs and errors themselves.  Super Mario World under normal use contained no bugs and errors.  This PS5 game is a serious step down from some times past.  Oddworld Soulstorm can be funny to watch.  However, I’m not supposed to watch it and ignore the game.  The audio can only be a guilty pleasure because I have too much time and there’s other games in my video game library.  The Playstation 5 has an indefinite number of games.  We do get new limits.  So, what we have is a game with new limits that speak for updates and unlimited continues.  It’s old-fashioned and wrong, and, it must be, for gamers familiar with the past work.  The game’s views to sport are not realistic and even expert players are going to struggle with ongoing changes of fighting and battle.  Just a sign posted on a piece of land can stop working and I end up wondering what I need to do to get on to the next level.  Gamers with previous experience can have some fun with this game.  But, without previous experience, new players will be scratching their heads until their brains are full and they’re forced into unrealistic battles and the law of nature in the subject of video games.

Videogame Review, Super Mario Bros. for the NES Top Loader (w/ Brand New NES Advantage Controller)

Videogame Review, Super Mario Bros. for the NES Top Loader (w/ Brand New NES Advantage Controller)

The joystick is clumsy, the turbo is awkward, and the slow mode is useless.  It’s not really surprising.  Nintendo’s joystick involves buttons and configurations.  You can’t expect all of these buttons and configurations to work for every game on the Nintendo Entertainment System.  My top loader is fine: pop in the game, turn on the switch, and be ready to play.  But the NES Advantage joystick was packaged in a box that suggested Super Mario Bros.  I wonder why.  To use your turbo, you need to hit a switch before pushing the button.  This leads to some disorderly fashion.  For the standard pause menu, the slow mode was very impractical and either Mario didn’t move at all or, when he did move, it was too late for me to make any real decisions.  A NES Advantage is best to be played with without the extras in button layout.  If you just use joystick and normal A and B, your gameplay should be normal.  But that’s bad!  Why can’t the NES Advantage for Super Mario Bros. actually be an “advantage” instead of just being “normal” and such?  “Under normal use” with the NES Advantage can be a contradiction in terms.  Players around the world use arcade joysticks with high expectations.  We don’t have high expectations for normal use.  Switching turbo on and off gets tricky because Mario must run between levels for points and fireballs.  For one thing, to use turbo, I must hit another switch, but I still use the same button for fireballs.  I don’t get another real button for turbo.  That’s odd.  The joystick does well if you put in enough effort and that’s a problem since the original NES controller can spoil you until you become the fool with a NES Advantage.  Like I’ve said, the slow mode is not practical.  If anything, the slow mode would actually make my gameplay even more confusing than necessary.  It’s difficult to tell when Mario can move.  At least I now know that Super Mario Bros. is a great game with another controller.  The NES Advantage proves that.  Of course the video game controller is bulky.  That impacts response, intelligence, and focus.  Those elements should go in particular order.  A NES Advantage is a programmer’s dream.  But, for clarification, Joust is a greater game to use for the NES Advantage due to fire buttons and general execution.  Super Mario Bros. with the NES Advantage feels like, “Yeah, it’s obvious I can’t do that.”  (Whatever “that” is.)  The Mario game is still good; the Mario game just should’ve been better with this arcade-style joystick.  I was hoping to get into Super Mario Bros. with the NES Advantage from seeing photos on the package and box of contents.  Turbo works fine when needed; however, turbo must be selected with a slow and deliberate movement of the hands.  Slow mode only makes sense if I’m ignorant of everything.  Having Mario stop with the joystick is like putting shells back on a turtle.  You should enjoy this review.  Now I know a way to make Super Mario Bros. “bad” and that counts for something.

Poem- “The Truth”

“The Truth”

Artist likes your mistake and creates picture to exaggerate fault.

The future is not our property.

It’s just a surprise, or, we don’t notice.

There’s no such thing as a “lazy athlete” or any such nonsense.

If you’re lazy, you’re not an athlete.

A teacher says, “No judgements.”

I say you can’t do homework without judgement.

“Get a life.”

I already have one.

I can’t get everything I want.

The color red is wanted; the color blue is wanted.

So can I always get red and blue without the color purple?

That’s a hard demand for encounter.

True fiction isn’t accurate phrase.

However, false fiction isn’t accurate phrase.

Well, what is it?

Just fiction?

Nonsense!

These are my specifics, not yours.

I’m telling the truth and you can’t say anything different.

The arrogant forget distances in measure.

Are you still eating Halloween candy?

It’s the middle of spring now!

A human is weak, helpless, and unfortunate to every forecast.

You cannot have the right for being wrong.

If you do not eat chicken, the chicken still does not eat you.

To lose the chicken, you must gain the chicken.

Videogame Review, Abadox for the NES Top Loader (w/ Brand New NES Advantage)

Videogame Review, Abadox for the NES Top Loader (w/ Brand New NES Advantage)

You gain the advantage in controls for excessive difficulty.  That’s “normal” gameplay according to Nintendo.  We have a maximum for the impossible, increase for decrease.  Abadox does better with the NES Advantage controller.  Still, we do get tunnels and exchange for barriers upon battle and fighting.  Intelligence is key to performance.  As evidence for this claim in my review, consider education and unlimited entertainment.  Education and unlimited entertainment are not exactly peanut butter and jelly.  If anything, if you try to combine these two things, you will get disorderly fashion, a common reality you run into in life.  Technically speaking, I don’t need to finish Abadox or even play it at all unless there’s personal business for rights in hobby and craft.  Do you learn everything in school?  No.  If you did, nothing else would be necessary.  We also learn a great deal in hobby and craft even if personal discoveries lead to disorderly fashion.  You’re probably asking, “What is disorderly fashion?”  Disorderly fashion sounds awful but it’s actually very common and usually innocent in degrees.  Informal talk is disorderly fashion, everyday appearance is disorderly fashion, basic cooking is disorderly fashion- overall, disorderly fashion is very casual and constantly changing in our lives.  Abadox is a challenge to an extent if I’m to ignore my own pass of existence within limited status.  Unlimited entertainment is what draws players to experience wild fantasies and pretty dreams.  Education?  A teacher would say, “Stop playing video games and do your homework!”  See the problem?  My statements about video games are educational and personal all at once.  For the present consideration of Abadox, I describe gameplay with the NES Advantage as “normal”.  Abadox is not one of those easy NES games.  Some folks have the philosophy of “play it and save it” and finishing up isn’t an option to them.  In word, they want games to last forever even if they’re humoring us.  Honestly, for my own personal being, I believe the “advantage” should be clear and obvious in domination.  I want to be challenged.  I want to have goals.  But, at the same time, a real advantage should be descriptive in performance of quality.  The NES Advantage controller isn’t the whole case of all NES controllers in existence.  One controller might be entertainment; one controller might be advantage; one controller might be maximum; one controller might be light; one controller might be heavy duty, etc.  It depends on mood and personality.  Programmers have their identities and causes.  Abadox can be described as science fiction- not totally science, not totally fiction.  Think of it as a superficial taste for adventure.  It’s a shooter game.  Adjusting my turbo functions has limited effects within reason of pause and start along the presentation in movement of my cause and act of high scores.  My game speaks more of act than habit.  It’s ironic, because people often have their habits with their good intentions for hobbies and crafts.  Call it human nature.  But there are still some enemies who make difficulty outrageous and tedious.  A science fanatic can be so desperate for impossible odds.  This is my disorderly fashion of gameplay.  Abadox should be played with the NES Advantage above all other considerations for alternative NES controllers.  From getting into the picture, there’s a surprise; and, when the alien’s tongue comes near, my tastes can be off for a moment.

Videogame Review, S.C.A.T. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ Nintendo Switch)

Videogame Review, S.C.A.T. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ Nintendo Switch)

This game is going to make someone sick.  You get visuals, visuals, and more visuals to the point of disorderly fashion in terms of video games.  I get too much noise, also.  Sure, it’s a game about the “future” but I know people want to see what they want to see and the game has a feature presentation for tricks and cheap shots, especially with questionable weapons and tools in your gadgets.  Don’t you think the robotic worms look too harsh on the eyes?  The 3rd stage had me reaching for the reset button.  S.C.A.T. is a popular game.  Know what that means?  It just means that so many people have seen it.  That’s all.  Besides, from reading professional reviews on the internet, I don’t think a lot of players know what they’re getting into.  It’s too easy in particular to get confused about the buttons on your controller because so many things are happening on the TV screen.  This makes it difficult to make a good judgement about collision detection issues; however, collision detection issues are present, since enemies can just pop out of nowhere and become hazards to the graphics and presentation.  I know what you’re going to say.  You’re going to say, “The game is old.”  So?  I am old.  Just keep in mind that S.C.A.T. was produced by an older generation.  We may have nostalgia about NES games.  Yet, NES games were often produced by old adults, and, we may see the games today, even if we’re too young to share original NES fashion.  I mean “original” NES fashion as in the NES fashion which existed before internet seriously came along.  S.C.A.T. is definitely a game.  The challenge is imaginary and psychological under the senses in experiencing video from the past in action of gameplay.  (For your information, if a game is aimless, the game is fake.  S.C.A.T. is real in the sense of challenges and goals, but not in the sense of a solid foundation for the presentation of graphics and views to sport.)  Is it just me, or, does S.C.A.T. play better when it’s only on the Nintendo Switch portable without TV use?  Maybe S.C.A.T. should’ve been a Game Boy game instead.  Of course, the Game Boy portable has no automatic fire unless something is done about it.  We get auto-fire for S.C.A.T.  As I’ve previously mentioned, the weapons are more on the crazy side of accuracy and I find myself backing away from enemies while hoping to cut the edge from gameplay in fascination for bugs and errors.  You get a save feature for this NES “classic” on the Nintendo Switch.  That’s a good thing.  We also get something of high definition video.  The robotic snakes are a mystery to me due to their random imagery and pop-ups of glitch.  I think S.C.A.T. is going to make someone sick.  The graphics are too random and disorganized for any real sense of progress.  In fact, on the 3rd level, I was encountering so many kinds of graphics and visuals in a moving tunnel that I was really losing track of what it even had in enemies and bad guys- I go to one object and it does nothing, and I go to another object and it does something.  Why?  What’s the meaning of all this?  “Future”?  We’re also approaching the date mentioned in the fictional story of the game and it’s obvious S.C.A.T. is another fortune telling of a false future.  I don’t know about you, but I’m not seeing Star Wars anywhere in my life.  S.C.A.T. does appeal to gullible folks who enjoy being random if that’s at all possible without getting seriously ill.  Unlike the past, however, S.C.A.T. can no longer be considered a real fortune for an actual event in the future.  It’s no longer “the future” in other words.  And, what’s ironic about all this is that we still get video game reviewers who watch created videos and believe in the “future” for what it’s worth although many are ignoring the past.  We had lasers in video games in the 1980’s; we have lasers in video games in the 2020’s.  Call this a history lesson.  It’s a fun game for temporary humor.  Once you get it finished, however, you will be wondering enough on fantasy to disturb the picture of accurate thought.

You’re probably going to scream right about now.  This is one of those bad games, a very popular bad game.  At least my experience is significantly better with the Fighter Stick.  The Fighter Stick is an arcade joystick for the Super Nintendo with lots of buttons and turbo functions.  Having auto-fire for the “CD bullets” is especially helpful!  But, why can’t I just take down a damn helicopter and get over it?  That helicopter can be such a parade float and it bothers me.  When I shoot hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of CDs at a helicopter and it doesn’t explode or go down, something must be wrong with the program.  Yes I know the helicopter does go down soon.  You must find the “secret” first.  I don’t like programmers who keep all these secrets from me.  Revolution X gets a bad rap and for good reason.  The game drags.  It’s repetitive, it’s long, and it’s not funny.  I can’t blame the musicians.  People in public need to get more used to music.  Problem is, we’re forced into so much music in the world and we walk fast in stores and restaurants hoping to get away from the noise.  The Super Nintendo is not a CD player.  And, at the same time, we have a game that gives reference to a CD player.  A CD player is an old device; the Super Nintendo is an old video game console.  My Super Nintendo does have advantage of extra sound plugs compared to CD players which just burst with volume without so many cords to choose from.  Don’t play with a regular Super Nintendo controller for Revolution X.  That’s a waste of time.  If you’re going to play Revolution X, the Fighter Stick is the best device, although I do wish the Super Nintendo mouse would work for Revolution X and it doesn’t.  With the Fighter Stick, the comedy works a little better and my aim is greater to touch.  Revolution X is about a hero who wants to harm boring people and make them listen to music.  That’s nice, I guess.  But I’m still playing with a Super Nintendo.  Modern technology in the 1990’s wasn’t enough for Revolution X.  Revolution X might as well be a theory put to practice.  I can do stuff in the game.  In fact, firing CDs at serious-looking bad guys is humorous in a weird sort of way.  What do you think of the music?  Honestly, the Super Nintendo is not a CD player and it’s not like a programmer can just stuff a CD player into the Super Nintendo game and make it work because it won’t.  Revolution X has Super Nintendo standards to it and really needs to go with those standards.  Too much realism hurts the Revolution X formula.  We get pictures and images that suggest a greater fantasy than what we’re seeing and it’s a shame the view looks so dull and bright on the money.  I have my Super Nintendo on a desk with a small flat-screen TV.  I use the Super Nintendo like a video computer.  It’s not official, but it’s a possible situation to be in.  Shooting CDs is kind of a funny business.  The enemies take too long to handle.  Good thing I have automatic fire.  Automatic fire lets me just push a button and let the CDs come into contact with floating hostilities.  Turning up my TV volume has little effect since the Super Nintendo is not a CD player.  Actually, a CD player itself can have very limited volume depending on the CD selected for entertainment.  So, for Revolution X, we may be getting a poor Super Nintendo game for a poor CD version of music.  That’s possible!  And, if that’s the case, it’s a really, really bad situation to be in.  I have the original music on my cell phone and, trust me, it works a lot better on my cell phone, even if my cell phone is not a CD player.  So, what’s a CD?  You be the judge.

“To a Reader I Do Not Know”

Why are you being mean?

You can’t just do whatever you want with my book.

I write a book for you to read and understand.

That voice sounds too ridiculous for any culture to be observed.

People in public don’t stand and roar like that over a piece of paper.

No loitering.

Videogame Review, Heavy Barrel for the Arcade (w/ Atari VCS 800)

Videogame Review, Heavy Barrel for the Arcade (w/ Atari VCS 800)

It’s a generic classic.  You run into enemies and fire, with ongoing features.  The game isn’t realistic by any means; in fact, enemies just disappear in thin air after passing away.  Comedy work like this speaks on dynamics to consider for fighting an army.  You’ll see that the enemies are not very smart.  But, it’s a challenge!  I’m playing with the Xbox-style controller for my Atari VCS 800.  Please don’t think I’m lying.  I do my best and play hard with actual descriptions.  There’s feeling.  Besides, this a real classic from the past.  Today the game still manages to stand out.  A weapon with the name “heavy barrel” sounds interesting and plays like a rock in fumes.  Unfortunately, I can’t use Atari’s classic joystick as a rotary.  Instead I just play Heavy Barrel with an Xbox-style controller and use more action buttons for gun movement.  You do have the option to use both thumbsticks; but, the right thumbstick is more of a theory and not so much of a practical means of execution.  Right this moment, you can use either the right thumbstick or some action buttons for turning a gun with your character.  Personally I prefer the action buttons.  When getting in the heat of battle I really need buttons for gun movement and using both thumbsticks would make my gun movement loose and unpredictable.  Keep in mind that Heavy Barrel was originally released in the arcade with its own special controller.  Of course, Heavy Barrel isn’t really about “control” and a controller is a figure of speech.  A controller should exist when there’s “control” as in what the word “controller” means in general.  Yet we do play good games that are not so much about control as they are about atmosphere in skills.  There’s a lot of atmosphere in Heavy Barrel.  At present the arcade game is the best way for the arcade game even if the NES version for the Nintendo Entertainment System is the greatest introduction to Heavy Barrel for beginners.  Like I’ve said, the game isn’t realistic exactly.  Even in modern standards, a computer must be a computer.  We may call a “computer” these days something else like “device” or “screen” or “TV” but there’s still the same reference in the end.  Meaning has evolved over time. Heavy Barrel is a thrill ride to begin with for shooting enemies who don’t know about the dark purpose, or, secret of destruction.  Good guys and bad guys can all look the same.  That’s interesting, because we often like to make good guys and bad guys into separated meanings and divided appearances.  If anything, just deciding to be the good guy can mean so much destruction to everybody else, since good judgement is a separated meaning for life and death between moments of struggle.  If you refuse to play this old game, you’re not a loser, because you can only “lose” from attempt at gameplay; however, you’re also not a winner.  If you can’t lose, you can’t win.  It’s easy to lose really quickly in Heavy Barrel and the high scores become levels of frustration over anxiety in confidence.  You won’t need automatic fire.  The Xbox-style controller is easy on the hands and feels just right for an Atari product.  Call this “PC gaming”.  Heavy Barrel is available on a PC program called Antstream.  It’s a service for playing hundreds of old, vintage videogames for free or for low cost.  You’ll be happy for free gameplay.  Heavy Barrel has dramatic consequences involved for excitement and drama.  The fire power is heavy, provocative, and complicated of touch and feel.  Control freaks won’t enjoy Heavy Barrel. It’s a game for power and authority.  “Control” is not a big part of the scenery.  The best I can say for Heavy Barrel is that I have a working device; not so much for control, but for warlike battles and confrontations with a ridiculous army.  Make no mistake.  This isn’t a lie.  With approval, I observe respect.

Poem- “Meaningless”

“Meaningless”

We read very few books.

The world is full of millions of books we don’t read.

And, we are mostly illiterate.

You don’t buy books each day.

You don’t read during sleep.

You don’t study on the moon.

You don’t walk into a book and find the writer.

If anything, reading goes to pass for better or worse.

A book opens with your face in it.

Both eyes drift of space upon page.

Looks get to be undertaking for viewership.

Every chapter begins with paper.

I don’t write over changes across entire language.

One pen breaks in thunder; one pen sticks in mud.

Where does ink leave enough feeling dark as black text?

A mind burns under the skull.

I’m numb and plain.

Bacon ruins the last supper.

Does that make sense?

No.

Does that make nonsense?

My words click on ice.

Beauty is in the eye of a dreaming box of crayons.

You feel that?

Don’t ask me nothing until you shut up everything.

Pigs fly of dust, dirt, and debris.

I flip pages under the cover.

A dream happens within reach on those rare moments.

Love turns into a green heart.

Something can match void for length.

Words drip in a fountain.

Put your hands over your head and remove unwanted hair.

Crazy people need love across the spacing drift.

Buy a book or give me your money.

Mark my words either way.

Light ends in heat for sight.

You dream and wonder and wonder and dream.

Sweet talk is disgusting.

At least each word transforms meaning into old color.

How does age meet boredom?

It wants of need to need of want.

Now, what was I saying?

Oh, yes!

We read very few books.

Humans are born into page and chapter.

Oh, we get, we receive.

Can you actually talk like a quiet book?

Ego is made of dust and glitter.

I find a poem and make it out one.
