Poem- “Calories and Weight”

“Calories and Weight”

“I’m thinner.”

No.

No, that’s not it.

What you’re really saying is,

“I’m overweight.”

The food is sold by weight, not by calories.

Healthy food costs money.

Junk food costs money.

A pound is a pound, an ounce is an ounce, and so on.

Let me use regular cola and diet cola as examples.

The regular cola comes in a 12-ounce can.

The diet cola comes in a 12-ounce can.

Unless it’s two different brands, the price is the same for both.

Both regular cola and diet cola have the same price for a brand.

It’s not because of calories.

It’s because of weight.

12 ounces is a weight.

Your body weight doesn’t match the weight of produce.

You must pick and choose the weights of measurement for prices.

And, even fat people still burn calories.

People burn calories even if they do absolutely nothing.

As long as you live, you use energy.

There’s no life without energy.

“Under”

I’m a flowing pool,

Poem- “Visiting My Doctor”

“Visiting My Doctor”

A doctor speaks on TV.

He’s a stranger.

Well, he’s not my doctor.

But he wants me to “follow” his advice.

He doesn’t visit me.

He doesn’t take my blood.

He doesn’t test me.

He’s far away from me and don’t know anything about me.

He doesn’t hear my heart.

He doesn’t hear my stomach.

He doesn’t look at my body.

He doesn’t examine my own chemistry.

He doesn’t look at my own arms, legs, or face.

And, he wants to give advice to someone like me, who is a stranger.

This is not good medical practice.

A doctor speaks on TV.

What really matters is MY doctor.

MY doctor.

My doctor visits me.

My doctor examines my body.

My doctor hears my heart.

My doctor gets information about me including personal history.

My doctor looks me over and can even touch me.

My doctor can even touch me.

My doctor can talk to me.

My doctor can study my blood, flesh, and water consumption.

My doctor can receive my blood test.

So, what does this mean?

It means “my doctor” has the right to give me advice.

My doctor visits me.

My doctor knows me a little.

The doctor on TV is just some stranger with fashion of health advice.

The doctor on TV knows nothing about me.

Giving medical advice to someone he doesn’t know is a bad idea.

Same goes for a doctor you find in a magazine.

Same goes for a doctor you find in a newspaper.

Same goes for a doctor you find in a book.

Those are not your doctors.

You need a doctor in real life.

That means, you don’t need somebody else’s doctor:

You need YOUR doctor.

You don’t need somebody else’s doctor.

Poem- “Dressing”

“Dressing”

She wears a dress.

But, not in public.

The lady keeps her new appearance only near her closet.

Or she may just wear the clothes in front of a mirror and do a video.

A woman like her can only use this dress for privacy.

It’s not because it’s a pair of pajamas.

It’s because the dress looks really wild and outrageous.

It’s a dress that can get her in trouble with everyday pedestrians.

The look is simply too ridiculous to give her any confidence, if at all.

So, she only wears the dress in private or experiences isolation for wear.

I don’t consider this situation an easy fashion for her.

If anything, I don’t really consider it a fashion.

A fashion should be public, everyday, and normal.

Normal qualities do change in our history.

Of course, by appearing so outlandish, she looks like a purple pineapple.

The dress isn’t really that everyday thing.

It’s obviously her showing off, or, looking hot to cold men.

Other men I find very disagreeable so often.

So what if other men like the dress?

I need to think with my own knowledge and experience of fashion.

We wear clothes every day.

Everybody has an appearance.

She’s not the only one.

And, she’s not the only woman on Earth.

We’re not in that kind of doom.

Other women can judge her.

They may say, “Don’t worry about it so much.”

A YouTube video is often just a display of privacy and it’s hardly fashion.

I think real fashion is a public display of opportunity.

It’s too easy for a singer to jump on stage with glitter all over her body.

Real fashion should be practical enough to be a daily custom.

That means clothes while groceries, clothes while food, or clothes while exercise.

It’s not very hard to be a reasonable person in public.

Everybody can join a good, responsible public where it counts.

I think she needs to be more public about her fashion.

Taking a photo of herself in the restroom is not a good act.

People in fashion need to travel around the world and have important events.

That’s the real fashion.

Videogame Review, Silk Worm for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ Brand New NES Max)

Videogame Review, Silk Worm for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ Brand New NES Max)

Pac-Man is a yellow circle with a missing piece.  I know.  You’re going to say, “Hey, that’s not nice!”  But it’s true.  Pac-Man is a yellow circle with a missing piece.  That’s fact!  Silk Worm does have more visuals than Pac-Man.  It’s a shooter game with attitude.  Of course, my NES Max controller is a problem.  The NES Max controller does have turbo buttons and regular buttons.  Problem is, I can’t use turbo buttons and regular buttons at the same time and this impacts my vehicle controls with devastating effects.  There’s a natural need for turbo; however, when I use turbo fire, I can’t hold A while performing the turbo fire.  I can use both turbo buttons.  This kind of works for a car; it doesn’t work for a helicopter.  You’ll also notice some visuals don’t amount to the graphics of a feature presentation.  For example the 2nd level contains green helicopters that look more like lizards.  Abstract art from the past can get confusing for newcomers who are curious for history lessons of computer technology.  The Nintendo Entertainment System was not as much of a computer system as the Atari 5200 was.  Atari 5200 was having a keypad for both joystick and trackball.  The Nintendo Entertainment System normally doesn’t have a keypad.  You do get different types of NES controllers.  But, in the scheme of things, there was less computer function for the Nintendo Entertainment System, or, what I can also describe as “key functions”.  Key functions vary from system to system and computer to computer and calculator to calculator.  My helicopter gets jerky when I try using Turbo A.  Pausing the game seems very effective; then again, many enemies just don’t have their complete appearances of fighting and the bosses are weak as the game goes on.  Turbo fire does something.  Turbo fire doesn’t exactly “work” still.  Every boss has a weak spot.  Yet, for every boss, the weak spot doesn’t always show up in a flash and I’m wondering if enemies are really hit.  The 2nd level boss is easy for a chopper!  I simply fly my helicopter near the 2nd level boss with turbo fire and he dies in about 4 seconds.  I don’t know about you.  Don’t you think the 2nd level boss needs to be “the boss” more?  At that rate, he shouldn’t have come up to my vain hero.  Shooting is generally too easy, or, at least there’s the illusion of safety.  Turbo fire is either too much or too little and you’ll see random results with some distraction.  New ideas always come to distraction, one way or another.  I don’t always play a game.  I need to think about a game.  Silk Worm is a program I have little sympathy for and the characters don’t really convince me of their virtues.  The game is about creating too much technology that eventually destroys humanity.  I kind of believe that.  If that’s the case, most games for the Nintendo Entertainment System were probably destroying the humanity of players.  Even “playing games” can be a problem.  Some women in Sacramento, California will never date a man who plays video games.  Poets may even say that “gamer” is slang.  It’s too bad.  With games that don’t quite reach the mark, is it surprising that a gamer is often said to be lazy, stupid, vulgar, unorthodox and unfeeling?  We need to make new technology to prove that a gamer can be valuable and educational to gameplay.  So, for starters, let’s forget about Silk Worm.  Let the video game stores keep this game with the rest of the forgotten nuggets.

Videogame Review, Asteroids Deluxe for the Atari VCS (Arcade Game Classic)

Videogame Review, Asteroids Deluxe for the Atari VCS (Arcade Game Classic)

This is one of Atari’s best games.  In fact, Asteroids Deluxe is so good, it’s better than many PS5 games- not just in gameplay, but also in graphics and visuals.  Asteroids Deluxe is a shooter game with a herd mentality.  You get lots of asteroids, lots of UFOs, and lots of spaceships.  Your ship is a bright, glowing blue triangle with fashion and style that matches 4K TV effects.  My 4K TV shows me Asteroids Deluxe and it’s a beautiful sight.  Not only do you get Asteroids Deluxe with the greatest video today, but you also have an arcade machine in your own gaming room.  The game shows an arcade cabinet, window dressing, and glowing start buttons.  That’s right!  You get “glowing” start buttons.  It’s very much like the arcade and it works well.  The object of the game is to shoot enemies; however, asteroids are only one enemy.  You also get smart, intelligent UFOs and space aliens who crowd around you in clusters for you to pick off from one by one with fire, thrust (especially thrust and shield), and mandatory dodging abilities.  Your ship moves like a triangle in disguise of space technology by fiction of intense views.  From my TV viewing, I see bright laser graphics, excellent drawings, and realistic high scores for a fair challenge to someone like me who has confidence and talent.  You also get a shield and it’s very effective for my own suggested use with thrust against the enemy clusters.  Aliens will gather around in their personal orbits; in fact, in general, Asteroids Deluxe feels very personal to me while playing with my brand new Atari VCS.  I recommend Atari’s modern controller, not Atari’s classic joystick, for Asteroids Deluxe.  Asteroids Deluxe was a game that was more about buttons than joystick.  A classic joystick is more useful for games that accept the input and let you have excellent performance.  Some games, on the Atari VCS, do accept input of Atari’s classic joystick, but you have another controller- Atari’s modern controller- to find out what really works best.  Maybe my praise appears irrational to players with a bad experience with this game.  That’s understandable.  Even when Asteroids Deluxe is on Easy, it’s fairly difficult and not everybody is very good at evasion and privacy of gameplay.  Playing arcade games at home can make some people feel bored.  However, in my experience, I find the game fair enough to be a challenge I want to earn, especially with high quality controls and good comfort from fire button.  Keep in mind that most games on the Nintendo Entertainment System have nothing like Asteroids Deluxe’s means of defense and shield.  If anything, most games on the Nintendo Entertainment System don’t LOOK this good and I’m afraid Atari’s history of home arcade games reveals contradictions in terms.  Asteroids Deluxe looks better than many modern games.  It’s not a surprise we get Atari’s controller reference to Xbox.  You can pick off enemy clusters with fire.  I recommend using the ship’s “shield” to bounce close to groups of enemies before making a thrust in a forward speed of movement to partial safety with open degree of returning defense.  I don’t have a degree in Computer Science.  (Actually, I have associate degree education in Spanish and have some education beyond associate degree education.  That’s not bad for a mentally ill person like me.)  Asteroids Deluxe is simply a blast from the past and it’s still a marker for the future.  The game is dated.  Remember that our history of video games can have us enjoy some “old” games more than the original people for these old games did.  It’s not very unusual to run into an elderly gentleman who has never played video games very much if at all.  I’m a young man.  But, I still play “old” video games because I can die a happy man.

Poem- “How Ugly”

“How Ugly”

This is a disgusting book.

Children can’t read this.

So, I will tell them to ignore the disgusting book and learn how to read.

What do children have for ugly teachers?

They have disgusting books and can’t read.

Normal people ignore disgusting books.

Because of this, everything looks cruel and must be meaningless.

Ugly teachers give books; they hear ugly teachers, and don’t read books.

Literature is disgusting as long as the ugly teachers do their jobs.

From doing their jobs, ugly teachers have children ignore disgusting books.

Learning how to read is so important to ugly teachers.

An ugly teacher will even start debating important matters for gross views.

Kids get into gross views and enjoy books less.

They read less, and less, and less, and less, until their eyes are plain.

Every idea, every concept, every theory is questionable.

Children stop asking questions and drop books into the waste.

A teacher is so ugly for the lesson.

Understanding turns into a foul system of ideas.

Young people get too much information and leave drama behind.

Drama includes any poem for the beauty of ignorance.

Poetry is hurt from the literacy of self-defeating knowledge.

Grownups have this knowledge and keep disgusting books out of it.

This is why most people don’t read very much.

Ugly teachers talk too much and make them wish for something else.

Videogame Review, Millipede for the Atari 5200 (w/ Brand New Atari VCS)

Videogame Review, Millipede for the Atari 5200 (w/ Brand New Atari VCS)

The game’s service is a profit.  Of course, I’m playing this Atari 5200 game at a very, very low cost.  Other games are included with the Atari VCS video game console.  For some reason, the Atari VCS reads my classic joystick as an “Atari 5200 controller” sometimes, even when, by starting the game, the classic joystick doesn’t change into Atari 5200 controls.  Millipede is a shooter game with a great deal of art.  You can see the bugs, insects, and spiders with a sweet glaring vision of chaos.  It’s a game that only seems to demand attention.  I find myself shooting empty spaces.  Why?  I shoot empty spaces.  I shoot empty spaces because I sense something is going on in these empty spaces; that is, even when I don’t see video of an enemy, I assume an enemy is probably there.  So I shoot empty spaces with the assumption of points for a high score.  The enemies behave like puppets.  Every enemy doesn’t exactly move into a space.  If anything, every enemy “pops into orbit”.  They pop into spaces; they don’t “move” into spaces.  Comfort is very possible while having a gameplay under the intense maintenance of disorder.  Still, the game gets an impact upon attack until collision is messy.  Do not play Centipede for the Atari 5200 with the Atari VCS.  Unlike Millipede, Centipede doesn’t work at all.  My ship moves too fast in Centipede and I don’t actually have a real controller for Centipede.  Millipede is more forgiving on movement by a long shot.  Sure, the movement is basic and digital, but you can play Millipede with both classic joystick and Atari’s Xbox-style controller.  Modern controller and classic joystick both work.  Just keep in mind that buttons vary in touch according to angles of a gamer’s hands.  Millipede is a rapid, quick, and silly work of comedy.  It’s a very, very funny shooter.  The bugs and insects are hilarious and the difficulty moves with the flow of chaos and disorder.  Mushrooms will become towers, bombs will become barriers, and spiders will crawl into open fire.  I’m somewhat “blind” during gameplay due to the shifting of enemies because the shifting of enemies occurs in short bursts and quick flashes.  Atari was working on Millipede.  However, Millipede is an important exhibition of computer technology.  “Computer” is an old-fashioned word.  The ancient Chinese calculator is a computer.  A human’s mind is like a computer.  We have weather reports with frequency of error and change.  Right now it’s raining outside my house although my weather report didn’t mention the future hours ago and thus prediction was impossible.  Millipede does have a lot of strength.  It’s a strong game with extremes of graphics.  Not everybody likes the idea of “shooting bugs”.  Too bad!  Do you realize that a centipede is an enemy in my house?  Sometimes, a centipede comes into my house in real life and I must kill the centipede.  I can’t have a big, giant centipede in my kitchen near my food!  So, Centipede and Millipede are psychological symbols of the reality.  A village in South America can get destroyed by bugs and insects.  I hope you KNOW that!  Anyways, there’s plenty to laugh about for Millipede, despite the ruin of combat that places a hold on collision with erratic damages.  It’s not a great game, or, even a good game.  But I do think Millipede is a comfortable program that can provide hints about the horror and tragedy of computer technology which would reach the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo with random results.

Videogame Review, Super Earth Defense Force for the Super Nintendo (w/ Nintendo Switch)

Videogame Review, Super Earth Defense Force for the Super Nintendo (w/ Nintendo Switch)

It doesn’t seem like the reality of Earth.  Actually, the game is impossible to beat.  You’re not supposed to get the “highest” score and you will leave with a high score.  The Super Nintendo was a great challenge to programmers; that much is obvious.  Super Earth Defense Force is a fantasy game.  Reality is not a fantasy; if you think reality is a fantasy, you’re probably making something up and wishing for the impossible.  You probably want something to happen even when it’s not happening.  Super Earth Defense Force, from my view of it, is more reasonable as an arcade game.  When I have the attitude of “beat the game” the game becomes a unique position for too many checkpoints.  I have to create checkpoints starting at the 4th world, or, level.  The 5th world, or, level gets so hard that I practically have to create a checkpoint every 2 seconds.  Due to the challenges ahead, Super Earth Defense Force goes from fun and easy to dreadful and impossible.  Especially on the 4th world, or, level, the enemies become very unpredictable and so many angles to gameplay are automatic guarantee of death; that is, losing.  Backgrounds in the game can look very nice if you’re more interested in the combat.  Of course, the 1st level has a background that’s better for a PC, or, “personal computer”.  The Super Nintendo was not exactly a personal computer.  However, the Super Nintendo has computer and Super Nintendo fans get personal.  It’s the gamer who gets personal.  The computer is only a display of data.  With the Super Nintendo, it’s the player who gets personal, not the computer.  Humans have their tastes, feelings, and thoughts.  We must “consume” the entertainment where available.  Consumption of extreme difficulty is happening on my end.  Eventually, by the 5th level, I would’ve had to create so many checkpoints as to make the Super Nintendo game vain for any completionist.  There’s also a problem with creating a checkpoint.  When clicking a “checkpoint”, the game can start without my sight and knowledge.  So, this means I’m often playing the game blind.  I’m blind for a while after clicking a checkpoint.  And, I must “use the force” (Star Wars stuff) just to get back on my feet from a checkpoint.  A problem with the Super Nintendo is that the Super Nintendo was better than the Nintendo Entertainment System, but, worse than the Nintendo 64.  So we’re getting a strange balance with Super Earth Defense Force.  Speaking of “balance”, you don’t just get 1 balance.  By variety of weapons and variety of enemies, you get a BIG balance or you get over several, small, little balances of gameplay, in particular to moments of combat between miss and fire.  I was having fun with Super Earth Defense Force.  Still, I must be honest about the feature presentation.  It’s an important step in the Super Nintendo library.  You take a step here and wonder where all the good times have been existing if at all.  Ironically, the Nintendo Switch is the best video game console to play Super Earth Defense Force on, even if the Switch arcade controller (w/ joystick, big buttons, etc.) would make the experience even harder, not easier.  Nintendo’s official arcade joystick would make Super Earth Defense Force even harder.  This is a Super Nintendo game for the quick, immediate hands of contact with buttons.  The arcade joystick would present us with too much distance and the arcade buttons, while bigger, would be too hard to reach.  Super Earth Defense Force is a great design in theory for the modern wireless controller on my Nintendo Switch.  The shooter game is hard.  But, when completing the game, I guarantee you will be as blind as a bat and you will be “forced” to have Star Wars influence.  My review is justice to the personal experience.

Videogame Review, Pro Wrestling for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ Nintendo Switch)

Videogame Review, Pro Wrestling for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ Nintendo Switch)

Oh, NO!!!  Were people really enjoying this game?  It’s a total disaster.  The wrestling game is broken, just broken.  Most of my wrestler’s moves don’t work and Pro Wrestling was giving Americans a false impression of improvement.  Americans really enjoyed the graphics.  From the modern view, I think the game stinks.  False videogame reviews were evidence of the stupidity, the foolishness, the craziness of the public.  When half of my punches and kicks are not landing, do you think something is wrong?  I’m very good at wrestling games and this is an embarrassment.  Your punches and kicks will even go through the opponent’s face and he won’t feel a thing.  The grappling system is the worst I’ve seen in a wrestling game so far.  Get this: you can grab your opponent by just walking up to him.  What’s the problem?  You ALWAYS grab him!  You grab him whenever you walk up to him.  That’s a very, very flawed fighting system to even begin with for the Nintendo Entertainment System.  I’ve seen good wrestling on the Nintendo Entertainment System.  The Nintendo Entertainment System has good wrestling.  However, Pro Wrestling is an example of fashion with mistakes.  People were really enjoying this game.  Why?  Because there was nothing else like it.  You see a ring, a crowd, ropes, corners, and there’s a little chance of make-believe for the works.  As soon as you see the failing punches and missing kicks at close range with the opponent you’ll start believing me with every word.  Modern wrestling games are no where NEAR this problem.  Modern wrestling games have way, way better presentations of a fight under the match.  New games of wrestling don’t do any of this old-fashioned, wrong stuff.  You probably assume that a punch is a punch and a kick is a kick.  Right?  Well, for Pro Wrestling, the Nintendo Entertainment System was struggling.  The Nintendo Entertainment System at the time was being released in the markets by advertisement and authority.  In all honesty, if there’s any authority to Pro Wrestling, it’s just with some moments of glory and despair.  It was a favorite game for players who did not know how wrestling did anything.  Consider that cable TV was very limited.  Cable TV used to have very few channels.  Now, from my view of modern life, I can’t accept Pro Wrestling because doing so would make me totally dumb and useless.  This is a video game you do NOT want to be a “good player” in.  To be a good player for a broken game like Pro Wrestling is a hazard on living, custom, and expectation.  I don’t know much about you.  But, I expect that you want to punch when you punch and you want to kick when you kick.  Wrestling games on the Nintendo 64 video game console did not have such problems at all.  Pro Wrestling is a unique flaw of approach.  That’s all.  It’s not a classic today and, back then in the past, it was a game mistaken for quality when there was just error and bug.  The NES game plays like a bug!  It makes no sense.  No, not at all.

Poem- “Offending Someone”

“Offending Someone”

I’m kind and honest.

I tell the truth.

I tell someone the truth.

And the person says,

“You’re hurting my feelings!”

People can be like this poor guy.

Here’s my advice:

Do you have new ideas?

Well, get a different feeling!

I’m telling the truth.

If that hurts you, you need to change your mind.

That means having new ideas and getting different feelings with correction.

Your feelings are hurt because you’re not practicing thoughts well.

It’s important for people to practice thoughts well.

Without practicing language, you won’t have good thoughts for my honesty.

That’s not my fault.

You’ve been with your own thoughts more than anybody.

A guy needs to grow up into the proper mind for use.

So, if I’m hurting your feelings, that means you need self-checkout of ideas.

This can mean abandoning hurt feelings for good sense into wonder.

Get a different feeling that helps us and shut out mental problems.

My evidence only has a clearance for the good.

Poem- “Results and Goals”

“Results and Goals”

It’s not enough just to have goals.

You need results.

This becomes an act of desperation.

Food, water, and shelter are necessary.

Learning only improves quality to an extent.

We have limits of education.

People will have to leave school when they’re done with study.

Degrees and certificates represent effort and dedication.

But, for the most part, you must work in a job and gather necessities.

Goals are like desires.

A goal can just be an excuse of learning without results.

For living humanity, you will need results.

Results include necessities, materials, produce, properties and the like.

Humans do not exactly become successful from having goals.

They become successful from getting the results.

Videogame Review, Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo (w/ Nintendo Switch)

Videogame Review, Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo (w/ Nintendo Switch)

Are you thinking of playing “old” games on the Nintendo Switch?  Well, this probably means you’ve gone too far.  Maybe you were making mistakes in your shopping.  You were getting the Nintendo Switch to play new games; however, you’re also playing “old” games.  You’re playing old games on a new machine.  This is very interesting!  If this is the case, maybe you were going by the old games too soon, and, too fast.  A fresh reminder can do the trick.  Do you know all the characters?  Are you forgetting something?  Does anyone need a history lesson?  Of course, this can apply to anyone who hasn’t played Super Mario Kart that much.  I’m still improving on my Mario Kart skills.  It’s not easy!  Notice that Super Mario Kart is a game with directions and angles you can change.  Super Mario Kart is better than lots of Super Nintendo games because of this.  Sure, it’s still 2D-like and 3D-like at the same time, but you get better mileage and overall accuracy of precision.  Now it’s true the computer gets tough.  In fact, the computer has a different set of rules and you have a different set of rules for yourself.  Weapons impact you one way; weapons impact computer another way.  It’s still game.  Of course, driving over a short course does have its merits.  The feather weapon is really useful and it’s a weapon some other Mario Kart games were missing out on.  Mario Kart 64 lacks the feather weapon entirely.  The feather weapon is important because it gives meaning to jumps and bounces along the varying roads.  Mario Kart 64 has racing courses that could’ve done better with the feather weapon (especially on mountains).  Super Mario Kart does give a slight image of any mountain or island.  Mario Kart fans find this appealing; however, I must say it’s a difference of sight that may cause lightheadedness if you’re not paying attention.  The weapons are “on the ground” if you know what I mean.  I bet you do know what I mean!  The weapons can really stick to the ground until further notice.  And, the question mark boxes contain these weapons with a bigger area of contact.  Sometimes modern Mario Kart games get tricky due to the area of contact with weapons.  For one thing, almost all Mario Kart games don’t have question mark boxes for weapons; instead, they have rainbow crystals for weapons.  This impacts the area of contact and perhaps Nintendo’s new ideas of the future can turn these materials around.  A programmer can do better if he’s up to the task.  My wireless controller has a Pikachu symbol on it.  I mention that because it’s funny!  You know?  Playing very, very hard games with a “cute” controller?  I think it’s freaking hilarious!  But, in all seriousness, the controls are fine.  The controls are just also something of an illusion.  This has to be.  The Mario Kart series is a fantasy series.  So, the controls are a form of pretend with playthings.  Changing the angle of gameplay is very much the whole of Super Mario Kart experience.  You don’t just “go left” but also “shift gears”.  Maybe sarcasm proves the point.  Young players will have to look at this game with some confusion and haze since the 2D imagery is nice and dated.  Anything from the Super Nintendo generation is dated.  However, Super Mario Kart is not out of fashion.

So many Americans believe that American freedom is just “freedom”.

Of course, this is not correct.

In the history of Earth, America is not the only one.

Freedom has existed for other nations and countries as well.

But there’s difficulty from having definition of freedom.

You can’t think it’s real.  If anything, the game is strange.  We often create strange things to reject reality.  So, something can’t exactly be real AND strange.  Sonic the Hedgehog is strange.  Super Mario is strange.  And, as such, Super Ghouls ’N Ghosts is strange.  It’s a fantasy in the works.  The works include weapons, castles, exploration, arcade, fighting, shooting, fire, direction, and angle.  Or, not “angle” so much.  For the most part we either get one angle or no angle at all.  For Super Ghouls ’N Ghosts, you can change directions and you must let angles be.  Directions change and the angles remain.  A problem occurs here.  Reality doesn’t have this “angle” issue.  You get this angle issue with 2D video games.  At least, for the most part, when you get a 2D game, the angles are already there in the game.  This leads to frustration and anxiety with any challenge presented in a 2D game unless I’m mistaken of any exceptions to this rule I’m proposing.  Is it true that, if you go in one direction (left, right, up, down), you simply make contact with an enemy in real life?  No, of course not.  Angles determine the quality of your directions.  Super Ghouls ’N Ghosts is a hopeless case of difficulty due to this problem.  On one side of the coin, the game looks fantastic; on the other side of the coin, the game is very hard to play… too hard to play, for most people.  It’s not really a victory when I have to die a lot to reach the same end of a fantasy game.  The Nintendo Switch does allow me to save the game and make some progress.  (Thank God!)  It’s a Super Nintendo game of the ages.  I’ll give it that.  It’s a meaningful expression.  Yet, with meaning, there’s conflicting ideas of definition.  You change directions for the game while having angles remain to be of no control.  Death happens in the game because of this.  You have progress for this game.  However, for this game you have progress on, you don’t always “make” progress.  We have progress.  But, we don’t always make progress.  Super Ghouls ’N Ghosts is a game from the past and it’s dated.  We can expect that much for the Super Nintendo.  Even good 2D games can have this problem.  It’s due to ignorance that we enjoy much humor.  Fighting games in particular get very extreme with the motions of gameplay experience.  Does pushing A really make something useful in my world?  It depends on the story under suggested use.  Of course, under suggested use, I should be given a warning with some clarity of purpose.  Enemies stink.  I can smell without that much approach.  But what really kills this Super Nintendo “classic” is the video.  The video goes from fast to slow and slow to fast depending on space and location.  Keep in mind that there’s still only one angle to the whole approach.  One angle, or, just no angle.  I can’t exactly have my knight “step away from the counter”.  Any counter from enemies goes along the luck of error.  It’s not really surprising.  Most 2D video games are generally strange.  For a fantasy to exist, you must be strange on something.  I’m not sure if I should tell programmers to stop being so strange.  People can get weird for little to no reason.  Maybe adjusting the feature presentation would change the unique vision for the better.  But, in turn, this can make the game disappear from existence for a fake copy of the original mistake.  I end this review here.

Videogame Review, Asteroids for the Arcade (w/ Brand New Atari VCS)

Videogame Review, Asteroids for the Arcade (w/ Brand New Atari VCS)

It’s a game for days ahead.  A reviewer who does not pay attention to the story of a video game is uneducated and can’t read. Basically, a fool below tenderfoot.  For Asteroids, we do get a story if the game is suggestive enough.  It’s about travel, space exploration, and a galaxy in war.  Obstacles get in the way for a reason since the gameplay involves attack and defense under maintenance with incoming “rocks” as they appear to be.  Moving with the ship is necessary from time to time so you can chase the asteroids and bring them to destruction.  Aliens don’t technically “appear” in the game because the UFOs (or, spaceships) may be exhibiting an illusion of living creatures.  The Atari VCS is Atari’s new gaming console.  It’s also called other things.  Asteroids, even if it’s an “old” game, should do the trick if you’re ready for some action.  Keep in mind that there’s not that many sequels to Asteroids.  And, what’s more, modern video games just simply don’t have this technology.  You don’t see that many modern games with laser graphics, rapid shooting, and outstanding forces of space.  Asteroids for the Atari 2600 video game console was not exactly a shooter game for as much speed.  For the most part, the Atari 2600 video game console was more of a “bang bang” sort of video game machine than the arcade.  Arcade games take time with smooth effects where it counts.  I’m using Atari’s modern controller, or, Xbox-style controller.  Atari’s classic joystick works OK for Asteroids.  But, for the greatest effect, Atari’s Xbox-style controller is the way to play Asteroids with.  I just get better mileage, better fire, and better performance with Atari’s modern controller.  It sounds like I’m talking about 2 controllers.  However, I’m only talking about 1 controller, and, Atari’s classic joystick.  A problem with the classic joystick is that the classic joystick wobbles.  Asteroids did not have wobbling controls in the arcade.  So, the classic joystick is a little extra with nothing to give up much.  Going around space takes practice.  Notice that your spaceship will typically dash when approaching speed of light.  You can see lots of light in the game.  The graphics are minimalism with strength of contrast with the best visuals for the time.  Honestly, with 4K TV, Asteroids has never looked better.  My Atari VCS video game console does have issues with high definition TV sometimes.  There’s no errors for Asteroids that exist even if I don’t see them, for, they do not exist.  Asteroids has been FREE for me to play.  To good effect, Asteroids is one of the kings of shooter games.  We know Call of Duty is better.  Then again, Asteroids was a game available in the video game industry so many years before Call of Duty.  That counts as an effective means of production for videogames- that is, show the game early in the years and let people play the game to have a new, ever-lasting habit.  I’ve never seen an Asteroids arcade machine.  In fact, I haven’t been speaking to an Atari fan since… well, ever!  I’m alone in my world.  I’m the only Atari fan I know.  I see Atari fans on the internet.  For the matter of speaking about it, the internet is the reason why Atari is returning to video games in the first place.  Asteroids is an excellent arcade game.  The shooting gets intense and exciting.  I don’t know about every Asteroids sequel made in the Asteroids series.  But, I know the original game is so good for a fun time and it’s a learning experience.

Videogame Review, Vice: Project Doom for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ Nintendo Switch)

Videogame Review, Vice: Project Doom for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ Nintendo Switch)

They don’t make games like this anymore.  And, that’s a good thing!  Do you like this game?  Well, you’re not very smart.  I see problems.  When an enemy is behind me, I can’t attack him by swinging forward in the opposite direction.  But Vice: Project Doom is a system of false rewards.  You will hit enemies without cause, and, it hurts me to watch it.  There’s also spelling errors in the game.  Do you see the spelling errors?  The pattern of liberal arts for the last 50 years has been a disorder of creativity.  Vice: Project Doom is no exception to this.  I get a pseudo story that can’t shake the cobwebs off.  The Nintendo Entertainment System did have more video.  However, I believe Nintendo had too much video.  Remember that Americans in the 1980’s and 1990’s were usually watching too much TV.  So many people were watching too much TV.  And, the Nintendo Entertainment System is evidence of that.  I do get a feature presentation.  That’s revealing!  Of course, the gameplay doesn’t really make sense.  I want to say I attack enemies.  I want to say I “attack”.  But, the attack modes are generally unfinished and it shows.  When using my character’s gun, it doesn’t feel like I’m shooting and the shots come to place with ineffective pattern.  I drive a car in the game.  But, who cares about that?  Am I attacking or driving?  I don’t see the point in spreading out like this.  Driving is often more important in video games when you can only drive.  Sometimes, when you have driving and fighting under the adventure, the heat doesn’t reach our signals.  Difficulty in particular is all over the place.  Those running pussycats are cheating.  I know they are.  More importantly, the attack never exactly registers.  Just a “register” on the Nintendo Entertainment System can be tricky and pointless.  Yes, there are players who love Vice: Project Doom.  I still say they’re not very smart.  As a basic rule of weapons and combat, I can only hit when I attack.  Now I can attack and not hit anything.  That can happen.  Sometimes I attack and hit nothing.  My attack can miss.  Perhaps there was confusion in the video game industry about this Nintendo Power.  I have a poster on my wall about Nintendo Power.  Yes, it was power, even if I was still looking for the source.  A view happens to be in the view presenting change.  Now I want to enjoy Vice: Project Doom and be polite for Nintendo fans.  But, if I was to accept this game and be polite, I would be a traitor of my cause for good video games I’ve already played.  This is where reviewing hurts viewers.  I’m sure they know what funny stuff happens in Vice: Project Doom and I fear for their safety.  The moment someone accepts this game is when the person is hopeless and confused.  TV viewers are not always “the sharpest knife in the kitchen”.  People deal with fools as fools make up a portion of their population.  I know there’s a population of Nintendo fans.  Still, I must use logic and keep focus up.  Going into Earth’s communications too much would just make me silly and irresponsible.  So, no.  Vice: Project Doom is not a good game.  Vice: Project Doom was never a good game.  Nintendo fans were just showing off and lacking confidence here.

Videogame Review, Centipede: Recharged for the Atari VCS

Videogame Review, Centipede: Recharged for the Atari VCS

This is a new Centipede game.  And, it’s the best Centipede game ever so far.  Especially with having experience of the past Atari video game consoles I can appreciate Centipede: Recharged.  Difficulty is top-notch with the rest of the shooting.  Don’t think shooting is enough?  Well, how about 5 shots?  How about 3 shots?  How about a machine gun?  How about bombs?  How about a Centipede game with a variety of guns?  That’s definitely new!  And, it works well.  The Atari VCS isn’t always the most a PC machine can offer.  For one thing, just my receipts from Atari for Centipede: Recharged (like other receipts as proof of purchase) are very awkward to look at.  The receipts Atari gives me for the game look like they’re still in development.  It makes me wonder if I’m really buying the game.  Centipede: Recharged has a 1-life game for arcade.  That means, if you play arcade, you get 1 life.  I did previously see criticism to my point of view regarding the “1 life” thing.  But that was when I was playing the Nintendo Entertainment System.  The Nintendo Entertainment System has 8 bits.  The Atari VCS obviously has a lot more bits.  The variety of guns, bombs, and lasers help make the “1 life” thing meaningful.  And, to good effect, I just need 1 life.  The variety of weapons helps me issue orders of battle along the maintenance of 4K TV effects.  Speaking of 4K TV, the graphics are amazing!  The view of the battle field is smooth and easy on the eyes, and, it’s a vast improvement for the Centipede series.  I enjoy looking at the shaking leaves which bounce in such 4K TV effects as to make me go crazy over this stuff.  The controls are great.  I can’t say that for every game on the Atari VCS.  Atari’s Xbox-style controller has higher limits for the Atari VCS; however, I still get limits.  A videogame company probably expects limits.  As they say, “The sky is the limit.”  And, in Centipede: Recharged, we get a dark background with sweet neon colors that display heat and motion of battle.  I’m a reviewer.  But, I’m not a tester.  A tester has more information about a game than a reviewer.  A reviewer like me is basically an outsider.  Maybe I would come by the game and give a remark; nonetheless, my literature is limited when it comes to information about the game.  My review is a statement and not a subject.  So, take my remarks and comments with some doubt.  It’s okay to have a little doubt about a reviewer.  Centipede: Recharged is a wonderful game to view and play.  The outstanding controls can’t be praised enough.  Now I’m thinking that the “old” Centipede games were really having issues.  A lot of Centipede was good in the past; then again, it was “as good as it gets”.  I know my grammar is a little off there.  Keep in mind that I enjoy the Centipede game where it stands.  Achievements is another mode for Centipede: Recharged but I find the achievements to be excellent levels of challenge.  The Atari VCS can have some mixed quality when it comes to PC engineering.  Still, if you enjoy the old Centipede games, or, if you’re a newcomer, Centipede: Recharged is the best Centipede game I can recommend.  Shooting bugs has never been so much fun!

Poem- “Vitamins and Angels”

“Vitamins and Angels”

Angels don’t need vitamins.

Humans need vitamins.

We need vitamins under the influence of death.

Do you feel weak?

Do you feel light?

Do you feel heavy?

Do you feel limits?

Do you struggle?

Do you lift weight?

Do you drop weight?

Do you lose weight?

Do you gain weight?

Do you have muscles?

Do you have blood?

Do you have bones?

Do you feel confusion?

Do you get attention from man?

Do you exercise?

Do you get tired?

Do you have exhaustion?

Do you sweat?

Do you become a headache to others?

All these questions have to do with the influence of death, pain, and suffering.

But we take vitamins to increase focus and improve living.

Angels don’t need vitamins.

They can live forever eternally.

They can go on for millions and millions of years.

Humans usually just live for around 50 to 60 years.

That’s important, but it’s not long.

Poem- “UFO”

“UFO”

A normal human being doesn’t own a spaceship.

You can walk outside and see this.

Normal people don’t ride rockets to space.

Space exploration is not a standard of average human living.

It’s a privilege for a few selected individuals for science.

The average human being usually just owns a car.

He or she goes to the gas station and fills up at the tank.

After filling a car up with gasoline, the human being goes to work.

This is our reality.

This is average human living.

Fighting aliens and shooting lasers is an idea from fiction.

We don’t fight aliens.

In fact, we don’t even meet aliens.

We just drive cars and get to business with everyday affairs.

Reality is not art.

Rocket ships are an exception to human transportation.

It’s generally not the rule.

And, it’s most certainly not the future for most human beings.

I’m telling the truth and have every right to tell the truth.
