A Note [Jan 8, 2010]

Hey everyone. I'm just doing this post because I'm in a massive rut right now and I was going to do a few updates and things for fun until I came across a bit of information which completely decimated my mood. I've never come this close to a break down before and it's something that I feel it should be best kept to myself. It's a disappointing bit of information which could ruin me.

So I'm going to be off the net for a little while until I feel at ease again. I feel the world crumbling around me and the last thing I can do right now is try to think of material, let alone laugh at my own self pity.

I'll try to get some more updates when I can and I'll see what I can do to put my mind at ease.

UPDATE: I can't believe I've already gotten past the nadir of this problem but I suppose I just tried my very best to look beyond the negatives and tried to think of how I can remedy all this. Although there is little I can do to fix this and save myself from this horrible state that I am in, I don't want to dwell on it and I have work to do. The last thing I need is another debilitating distraction. With that said, let me move onto a few things that have occurred as of late so I can at least try to focus my energy on some things more positive. I was originally going to post this all via video log but seeing that I did not have it prerecorded and that I look like I'm about to burst into a million unfathomable tears, I'll just post them as I can.

I underestimated the rogue antivirus that was infecting my computer. It was a pretty virulent virus and it had spread so far that even post-quarantine, it did not allow me to use certain web browsers. Thankfully, I figured out where the malware was hiding and I nuked the sonuvabitch. In short, I cleaned up the manure smeared all over my computer.

Before you vindicate me, save your moral objections because we all know I have a hacked Wii. It was a version 3.4U and it was capable of hacking games to be played the way I intended them to be played. For instance: my version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl is no longer a slow, uncompetitive, no learning curve, incredibly lenient game and can now be played the way that was best designed for someone like me. I still purchase games and I still support Nintendo but once I purchase their products, I can do whatever the hell I want with it. End of story. I suppose the litigious side of it doesn't equate to that and Nintendo ensured that anyone not playing by their rules will be fucked royally by Shigeru Miyamoto's giant pipe. My Wii was unexplainably upgraded to 4.0U and thus all the hours of hacks and pimping done to the game went down the crapper. Thank god for the Homebrew community for their persistence to making sure Nintendo keeps their hands to themselves because I have finally gotten the system back to the way things were: hax0rs.

Here's a game I'd like to call Spot-The-Errors



If you don't see a problem with these posts, then you were just like me. I must have the worst sense of time. It was bad enough that I put 2009 for certain posts but it was inexcusable for me to still think it was December. You won't find these on the original posts anymore seeing that I just fixed these errors but it's something so embarrassing, I figured I shouldn't overlook it.

Last but not least, I need to speak to you all about a few videos and projects I've been working on and in particular, I should really get to work on the Final Fantasy XII Part III review. The first two parts were done under very short time and it's really not all that hard to guess that I improvised part II by just showing you the going-ons of the game. But expect the next part to dive much deeper into the game itself. I had hinted at another video in a previous post but I decided to back down on that one because I realized that I had too many priorities and had already promised to continue FFXII. I'll release that another time and if I may, I'll even get around to working on yet another video, which will be the first of many in a video series. I'll hold my tongue because I'm having a ton of fun with this one and I can only hope it has a good payoff when I'm done.

I think that's all and I'm actually feeling much better. Perhaps I'm just neglecting the subject matter which is making me feel like crap but I don't wish to wallow in my own misery for the rest of my vacation. I'm hoping things will turn out for the best and even if they don't, I can only hope that I will make the best out of it.
