Apathy No More. Take your dreams back!

This post was inspired by "Teal Swans" Video "How to Cure Apathy".
I highly recommend you go watch that video if you feel like your life has become anything but the daring adventure it is mend to be!

I actually experienced childhood exactly the way Teal described it. And the fucked up thing is that when I turned 18 and found new hope and started to dream big again my parents showed me again that they didn't believe in me and that was the deepest rooted believe of my old self.

Moving into my new Self I now welcome my ANGER and HATE toward them for doing this to me. Justifications like "You should be grateful that we give you so much" and "Look at Joe's parents they give him even less than we are giving you". With this bullshit trying to justify what shitty parents they were in this regards.

I love'em now and understand that they we're only afraid of me failing because then they would feel feeling ashamed in front of others. But that Anger and Hate is very crucial to me to understand what they did was wrong and fucked up and absolutely not an acceptable trait for any parent who is actually committed to being a real parent who is meeting all the needs of a child that are so god damn crucial for their development!

 Dream Big! Recognize that is right to feel anger toward those that took your dreams from you! Take your dreams back and hold that middle finger high until you naturally find that calm untouchable state. But don't try to be all spiritual about it by suppressing your hate and pretending like you are above it already when your current Vibration is actually below it.

 Love & Peace to all of you.

Princess Mononoke

The by far coolest German TV channel for youngsters of my generation used to be “RTL II”. Every reasonably cool dude on elementary school watched anime after school.

Christmas Eve 2003: An, at the time even more, fabulously blond 3rd grader tunes in the aforementioned channel. The unique beauty of this movie combined with the epic score burnt into his mind. Since this was the first and last time this movie was aired uncut in Germany the boy, at the time mainly noticed the allegedly little to not at all physically legit by arrow detached limbs in the beginning.

Today I can definitely say that this movie shaped me more than any other. Every time I hear the main theme starting with the Cello and Contrabass, the landscape shot with cloud-capped mountains. Then a short crow sound and the incipient epic bassy-old-guy-narrator voice: “In ancient times a land lay covered in forests” “Man and beasts lived in harmony”. Then the camera zooming down on Ashitaka riding his awesome ibex/ antelope “Yakule”. It is just perfect and gets me every time.

The realse date for the european blu-ray is yet to be anounced. The japanese blu-ray comes in a modest book-ish design with magnetic catch.

This woodcase is exclusively sold on amazon.de

Beyond 2 Souls

Heavy Rain was a game I had on my radar since the preview on gamescom yet I had always hasitated buying it. After finally playing it in one session with a buddy of mine at his home I was psyched to hear the Beyond 2 Souls release was only 2 months ahead.

I personally loved it and do not regret full price buy.
The main Con reviewers address is the lack of story determining decision in comparison to the prequel. This argument has o importance what so ever if you play this game the way it isnment to be which as a movie.
Don't even bring up the phrase "replay value" as you should not think in the standard game maximum achievement when playing this game. Then you won't be bothered from the potentially empty "what if else" decision.
A definition improvement in comparison to Heavy Rain is the variety in locarion s and gameplay execept the controlling of Maiden which are honstely extremely generic. However controlling Maiden looks cool and any complex mini game would have totally destroyed the playing flow.
For tereotype aware geniuses aka me there are kind of obvious indidicators where I found myself guessing the story development exactly right.

All in all Beyond2Souls is definitely an unique experience with small downsides.

Battlefield series

As Luetin declared: revive Bad Company 2. I agree.
Bad Comany 2was the first Batllefield game I played as a core gamer.Battlefield players had been waiting for a this game for a period longer than for Battlefield 3 &4 combined. In the past 3 years EA announced new battlefield content almost every month which weakened anticipations big time. But the anticipation this game had achieve was not the only reason for the (re-)gathering of this loyal commuinty. There are good reasons why this game created a community of strongly attached players i.e. DontReviveMeBro.
The new animation technology adapted from the FIFA franchise was a huge innovation. But the main reason for the core gamer circle to approve this game was the gameplay which is essentially diferent from the the standard battlefield series.
As in the shortly earlyer released Battlefield 1943 the weapons felt much more powerful because of the high impact sound effects. Yet players, especially experienced ones, would die much less quickly also considering vehicles. This led to a more infantry-based less 'campy' multiplayer experience. Less realism in return for more balanced gameplay.

Stop wishing everything was handeld for you

Since the dawn of mankind it seems that we strived for more comfort, meaning less work we had to do. For cavemen this may include the building of spears for the consequntly energy efficient hunt or even the usage of fire to boost enzyme activity and saving energy during this process.
Today I feel like this desire exceeded reasonability to a large extent. I notice myself falling in a mindset where would rather thinking about something as complicated as a workout machine which calibrates the perfect workout for us so we don't have to worry about *snapping some shit up*
