<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Wow</strong>, probably the first friday where I am so stuffed and bored Im just gonna go straight to bed&#8230;<br />
Too tired to play Metal Gear, too tired to watch a movie&#8230;too tired to do anything, really.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/4756/mgs3thesorrow.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="319" /></p>
<p>What to do this weekend:<br />
-<strong>Record movie</strong>, one of my actors is sick though so this might have to be postpond until next weekend, however we might be able to film another flick if I can get my friend INZ to be cameraman.<br />
<strong>-Write weekreports</strong>; 4 weekreports&#8230;shouldnt be too hard.<br />
<strong>-Train</strong> on Sunday? I hope so&#8230;</p>
<p>As finale, I am getting my brand new <span style="text-decoration:underline;">IDcard</span> on monday, so as soon as I do, I am going by my banks to fix money and a bankcard! <strong>PRONTO!</strong></p>
<p><em>But I dont wanna leave my avid readers without any goods this Friday&#8230;so lets see&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Oh I read in the news not too long ago, that the leadsinger of <strong>Takida</strong> tried to commit suicide a few years back.<br />
I think he said he slit his wrists up &#8220;<strong>but something went wrong so he had to call an ambulance</strong>&#8220;&#8230;<br />
Okay, what could really go wrong? I would think in a suicide situation everything wrong is good&#8230;like if it bleeds too much thats good, because ya wanna die, right.<br />
Or maybe his mom walked in on him or something, thinking he was masturbating and he didnt want to die in shame&#8230; anyways glad he didnt die otherwise he wouldnt have made the great love song &#8220;<strong>Curly Sue</strong>&#8220;.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/VmNJJ-QWeSk&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/VmNJJ-QWeSk&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span><br />
<strong><br />
Makes me think back to over a year ago</strong>, I got a <em>call from my ex </em>saying she&#8217;d cut up her wrists, and she even sent me a picture&#8230;it was really terrifying and so sad, because there was nothing I could do to help her, since she was in another city.<br />
Later that day she was institutionalized for over a month :/<br />
<strong><br />
What drives and motivates a person so much that he/she considers suicide?</strong><br />
It is really sad, because mostly these people carry a great weight inside, such emotional and psycological pain.<br />
One of my worst fears is psycological instability and depression, though I have felt many mild episodes of this, I cant begin to imagine how it is for some people who struggle through the whole of their lives.<br />
Something or someone can so easily ruin another persons life and make them so utterly depressed and psycologically frail that nothing is worth living for&#8230; I recognize the feeling, and I know a couple who have that feeling everyday.<br />
I guess that is why many people consort to physical pain rather than psycological, the pain goes away much faster.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://zindy-zone.dk/images/drawings/fantasy/the_sad_angel.jpg" alt="" width="435" height="331" /></p>
<p><strong>I think people who go through many hardships</strong> in their lives grow stronger and gain more experience and wisdom in life.<br />
You can sometimes really feel a persons heart and soul, when they have been through lifechanging happenings like great downtimes.<br />
I have had my share, and I feel like I am way ahead in my life, for I dont take it for granted anymore, I am not a child and havnt been for a while I believe.<br />
That is what I like in certain people though, the maturity of their innerself, and I do find that very attractive in girls, who are very mature deep within.<br />
But still, they must have their free and colourful nature, in tune with reality, morals, ethics, thought and reason.</p>
<p><strong>When I meet a girl, I can usually tell if they are special.</strong><br />
Certain girls have certain glows to them, an aura.<br />
I need a girl with experience, wisdom and maturity; I cannot stress that enough.<br />
It is hard to put into words exaclty what I mean&#8230;but then again&#8230;who cares, I will know when I find her.</p>
<p><strong>YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://sach33.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/captaure.jpg"><img style="display:inline;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;border:0;" title="Captaure" src="http://sach33.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/captaure_thumb.jpg?w=121&#038;h=244" border="0" alt="Captaure" width="121" height="244" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>Metal Gear Solid, the official movie thats to be release in 2012 has some competition. However, a group of die-hard MGS fans in Italy have been working hard since 2002 to release a full length feature with the infamous Solid Snake. Yes that’s right, the boys and girls of Hive Division have gone and made a non-profit movie(a trilogy) with basically no capital and I must say they have done a terrific job.</p>
<p>Part 1 of the Trilogy which was released on the 27th of September  was quite interesting to watch. The dialogue and acting may not be that of a Hollywood production but hey these guys did it with no outside funding. The movie captures the in-game cinematic feel, as a matter of fact the first half of the movie felt like i was watching clips from the game it self, more or less.<!--more--> The Metal Gear in the movie (thats the robot/machine thing, if your a MGS fan id assume you’d know) may not have been what i  was expecting, but short clip at the end, The Secret Cut, made up for it. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The movie can be downloaded from their website for free: <a href="http://www.mgs-philanthropy.net/main/?page_id=166&#38;lang=en">Clicky Clicky</a></p>

<p>The legendary PlayStation game that is <em>Metal Gear Solid</em> will finally be arriving to the European PlayStation Store. It&#8217;s been available for quite a while on the Japanese and North American Store but it has been confirmed to be coming in the next update for the EU store.</p>
<p>Apparently it will cost 9.99 Euros but no word on a pound price yet. Either way this is good news to European gamers as this is one of the finest PlayStation games ever.</p>

<p>Paul W.S Anderson, the person behind <em>Event Horizon, Mortal Kombat </em>(Film), <em>Resident Evil</em> (Films) and plenty more wants to direct the <em>Metal Gear Solid</em> movie. Judging by his work with other video game films, I don&#8217;t want him. His other movies based on games are pretty much just crap and I don&#8217;t want <em>Metal Gear Solid</em> to go down to this level.</p>
<p>Though, if we had the choice between Uwe Boll and Anderson then I would happily let Anderson direct the film. Konami have stressed that Uwe Boll will have no involvement with the film so Anderson is out of luck.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">J&#8217;ai acheté ma <em>Xbox 360</em> un peu avant la mi-mars, uniquement pour jouer à <em>Street Fighter 4</em>. En presque 9 mois, j&#8217;ai essayé de me rendre aux principaux tournois organisés lorsque cela était possible.</p>
<ol style="text-align:justify;">
<li><strong>Tournoi Fnac Odeon </strong><em>(début mars 2009)</em>, le tournoi du lag. Je n&#8217;ai pas encore la console, mais je me suis entraîné chez <strong>Powa </strong>les précédents jours. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Je meurs au 1er tour</span> -_-</li>
<li><strong>Tournoi Fnac La Defense </strong><em>(11 mars 2009)</em> , le tournoi où je confirme que je suis vraiment un sac. J&#8217;ai acheté la console il y a quelques jours. Ce qui ne m&#8217;empêche pas de <span style="text-decoration:underline;">mourir au 1er tour</span>. L&#8217;honneur du sac est préservé.</li>
<li><strong>Trophées Fnac, </strong>les tournois bidons gratuits<strong> </strong><em>(Avril 2009). </em>Epuisants et  décevants. Je ne parviens pas à remporter une seule <em>Xbox </em>-_-. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">1 fois 2ème</span>, finale perdue face à <strong>Alioune</strong> et <span style="text-decoration:underline;">3 fois 3ème</span>&#8230; Arg.</li>
<li><strong>Bushido Nibaï Impact<em> </em></strong><em>(12 Avril 2009)</em><strong>, </strong>le 1er vrai tournoi de l&#8217;année. Il me semble que je finis 1er ou 2ème de ma poule. Envoyé en Losers par <a href="http://www.sf4db.com/players/y/yamazaki93.php" target="_blank"><strong>Yamazaki93 </strong></a>dès le 1er tour des Winners, <a href="http://www.sf4db.com/players/a/alioune.php" target="_blank"><strong>Alioune</strong></a> me tue définitivement au <span style="text-decoration:underline;">2ème tour des Losers</span> -_-.</li>
<li><strong>Stunfest<em> </em></strong><em>(10 Mai 2009), </em>le tournoi de la malchance. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mort en poule</span>. Egalité aux points avec deux autres personnes, mais je suis 3ème au goal average. <a href="http://www.sf4db.com/players/r/ryanhart.php" target="_blank"><strong>Ryan Hart</strong></a> et <strong>Showking </strong>sont les deux qualifiés de ma poule.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://bachaka.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/gnouz-ressurection-24-mai-2009/" target="_blank">Gnouz Ressurection</a> </strong><em>(24 Mai 2009)</em>, ma meilleure performance &#62;____&#60;. Finale perdue face au <em>Honda </em>grassouillet de <a href="http://www.sf4db.com/players/l/lorddvd.php" target="_blank"><strong>Lorddvd</strong></a>.</li>
<li><strong>Tournoi Capcom France</strong> <em>(22 Juin 2009)</em>, <strong><a href="http://www.sf4db.com/players/e/eldruz.php" target="_blank">Eldruz</a> </strong>stoppe mon parcours en <span style="text-decoration:underline;">1/4 de finale</span> à l&#8217;issue d&#8217;un mirror match &#62;_&#60;.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://bachaka.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/tournoi-sf4-summer-clash/" target="_blank">SF4 Summer Clash</a> </strong><em>(15 Août 2009)</em>, je me pointe au tournoi un peu en touriste. Je meurs en <span style="text-decoration:underline;">1/4 de finale</span> contre <a href="http://www.sf4db.com/players/k/kilivan.php" target="_blank"><strong>Kilivan</strong></a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://bachaka.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/gnouz-ressurection-2-i-love-this-game/" target="_blank"><strong>Gnouz Ranking Battle 2</strong></a> <em>(6 Septembre 2009)</em>, le tournoi de la rentrée. Je meurs encore en  <span style="text-decoration:underline;">1/4 de finale</span>&#8230; Cette fois-ci contre <a href="http://www.sf4db.com/players/y/yamazaki93.php" target="_blank"><strong>Yamazaki93</strong></a>.</li>
<li><strong>Micromania Game Show </strong><em>(1er Novembre 2009)</em>, conjurer la malédiction de l&#8217;éternel 1/4 de finaliste. Raté. Pour le tournoi de dimanche, je perds une fois de plus en <span style="text-decoration:underline;">1/4 de finale</span> face à <a href="http://www.sf4db.com/players/f/fox.php" target="_blank"><strong>Fox</strong></a>.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bref je n&#8217;ai gagné aucun tournoi. Et vu comment les choses sont parties, ce n&#8217;est pas prêt d&#8217;arriver &#62;_____(infinite lose)_____&#60;&#8230;</p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow:hidden;position:absolute;left:-10000px;top:114px;width:1px;height:1px;text-align:justify;">
<ol>
<li><strong> , </strong>le 1er vrai tournoi de l&#8217;année. Je finis 1er ou 2ème de ma poule. Envoyé en Losers par Yamazaki93 dès le 1er tour des Winners, Alioune me tue définitivement au 2ème tour des Losers -_-.</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-254" title="micromania-game-show-2009-L-1" src="http://sazanammo.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/micromania-game-show-2009-l-1.jpeg" alt="micromania-game-show-2009-L-1" width="167" height="220" />Le <em>Micromania Game Show</em> est un salon qui commence a se faire une place parmis les grands tels que le <em>Tokyo Game S</em>how ou d&#8217;une amplitude a peu près équivalente le <em>Festival du jeu vidéo</em> (une manifestation vidéo ludique bien française). Le salon prend de l&#8217;importance et cela se constate sur plusieurs points :</p>
<p>+ L&#8217;évolution de son emplacement : l&#8217;année précédente, le salon se tenait a <em>la porte de Versailles</em>. Cette année, l&#8217;évènement passe un cran au dessus et a lieu a <em>la grande Halle de la Villette</em> toujours a Paris.</p>
<p>+ Les efforts des éditeurs pour mettre en avant leur stand ont été très fort cette année et vous pourrez le constater dans les différents dossier consacré a l&#8217;évènement. On sent que le <em>MGS</em> devient un bon terrain de chasse au joueurs.</p>
<p>Je vous propose donc de découvrir ce salon qui s&#8217;est déroulé <em>le week-end dernier</em> (à savoir du 30 octobre au 2 novembre)  a travers un ensemble de dossier.</p>
<p>Les dossiers vont très prochainement arriver mais je n&#8217;ai malheureusement pas les photos prises lors du salon en ce moment, mais c&#8217;est pour bientot !</p>
<p><strong>Alors bonne lecture !</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Mam całkowitą słabość do koszulek. Przyznaję się bez bicia.</p>
<p>Ciągle na coś poluje w chorej potrzebie powiększania tylko mi przydatnej garderoby. Pff, czuję się jak bym miał jakąś wersję ADHD. Ale nic. Celem był Amazon.com. Tam też upolowałem sobie koszulkę z jednym z moich ulubionych tematów. MGS. Szybka wysyłka. Miła niespodzianka po zapracowanym weekendzie. W łącznej cenie około 22 dolarów.</p>
<p><a title="Metal Gear Solid 4 Dissolving Snake by NintendoPassion, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nintendopassion/4066947388/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2733/4066947388_9d5050a9c3_o.jpg" alt="Metal Gear Solid 4 Dissolving Snake" width="600" height="488" /></a></p>
<p>Odskocznia. Może i chora jest. Nie wiem. Nie tłumaczę się przed nikim. Teraz, gdy świeci mi przed oczyma wyjazd, a właściwie powrót do kraju, zaczynam zwracać uwagę na takie błahostki. Błahostki. Prawda, ale sprawiają mi jakąś małą przyjemność.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Actualizado:</strong> Ya subí las fotos de la revista. Pueden checar la minigalería después del salto.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Atomix acaba de lanzar su último número como revista impresa de videojuegos, pero por suerte su reemplazante llegó de inmediato, y se llama <strong><a href="http://gamemaster.com.mx/" target="_blank">Game Master</a></strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/GameMasterMX" target="_blank"><em>(con Twitter en GameMasterMX)</em></a>, que este mes presenta su número 1, con Big Boss (MGS: Peace Walker).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cuesta <strong>30 pesos</strong>, es de Grupo Medios Editores (Futbol Total, Deep, Dónde, etc&#8230;) y por lo que veo, tiene a algunos conocidos (ex Atomix) en sus filas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ahora sí, como forma de análisis, de anuncio para los que no sabían todavía de la existencia de esta nueva revista, y también como forma de <strong>carta abierta </strong>a la gente encargada de la revista, aquí están mis comentarios en forma de puntos, sobre lo que me parece bien y lo que no me gustó tanto de la revista, en cuanto a su diseño, su manera de revisar los juegos, y lo que representa en general.<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>LO BUENO</strong></p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Grupo Medios se atreve a lanzar una revista impresa, cuando la mayoría está pasándose a internet.</li>
<li>Ocupa de inmediato el lugar dejado por la ya difunta Atomix, al ser multiplataformas y sentirse bastante familiar.</li>
<li>La <strong>calidad del papel</strong> es de primer nivel (olvídense de las hojas como en Club Nintendo); hasta huele rico la revista (un fan de la prensa escrita extraña y aprecia mucho eso jeje).</li>
<li>El tamaño de la revista es muy adecuado. Ni muy grande ni muy chica; además con 96 páginas. Hasta se siente bien de peso.</li>
<li>Sus páginas se ven limpias y muy estilizadas, por su fondo blanco con un formato bien ordenado y una mezcla de colores por las imágenes, fotos y otros detalles de diseño.</li>
<li>Buena cantidad y calidad en la publicidad que trae dentro (hasta eso importa), pues no trae la horrible página con fondos y ringtones de celulares, sino anuncios de Adidas, Nike, Samsung y otros productos que SÍ INTERESAN.</li>
<li>La <strong>extensión de sus artículos</strong> es adecuada, pues no es ni muy corta como para dudar de la calidad de quienes los escriben, mi muy larga como para aburrirnos.</li>
<li>En cada página de artículos sobre juegos específicos (reseñas, previos, etc&#8230;) está a la completamente a la vista a qué consola pertenecen y traen sus fechas de lanzamiento (aunque ya sabemos que pueden cambiar, pero siempre se agradece que sí pongan una fecha). Bueno, hasta el <strong>sitio web del juego</strong> en cuestión viene ahí (EXCELENTE).</li>
<li>Una buena dosis de imágenes. Recordemos que en la actualidad la imagen es de lo más importante, así que si te da flojera leer un artículo completo, puedes checar bastantes imágenes que harán que te entretengas igual.</li>
<li>Trae sección de PC, gadgets y animé con buena info (por lo menos en su primer número&#8230;jaja).</li>
<li>En la esquina superior de cada página, está escrita la sección en la que estás, y sobre qué juego estás leyendo.</li>
<li>Un buen sistema para calificar los juegos: por gráficos, gameplay, sonido, replay y extras, además de la nota final.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>LO MALO</strong></p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>La portada me recordó a la típica revista española y/o vieja de juegos de computadora, o algo así, debido a la fuente usada para el nombre.</li>
<li>Las<strong> letras del nombre</strong> siguen sin gustarme&#8230;(sí, lo pongo dos veces porque en serio me parecieron malas) Me imagino que muchos creerán que está muy estilizado y &#8220;cool&#8221;, pero a mí no me gustó.</li>
<li>En el índice (que de todas formas nadie pela jaja), al remarcar con color ciertos juegos se crea en primera instancia una confusión sobre si se trata del nombre de una sección, o de un juego en específico. No es nada importante, aunque un analista de páginas web los hubiera regañado por eso <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>En los artículos, casi <strong>todas las letras </strong>(incluyendo títulos, subtítulos, etc&#8230;) son negras, y eso llega a cansar, a pesar de que se usen diferentes tamaños .</li>
<li>Un chavo<strong> (A. Quatermain) </strong>escribe masas de texto, sin poner párrafos nuevos casi nunca, lo que visualmente cansa y sólo de verlo da flojera leer todo eso. Por favor díganle que aprenda a saltar líneas.</li>
<li>Les falló (en este número) el fondo para el artículo del TGS 2009, pues con tantos detalles, y en un fondo oscuro con letras blancas pequeñas, cansa leerlo todo.</li>
<li>En las calificaciones de los juegos reseñados, se hubiera apreciado la típica <strong>&#8220;segunda opinión&#8221;</strong>, para hacerlo más familiar y tener un segundo punto de vista (aunque sabemos que la decisión final la tiene el jugador).</li>
<li>Siempre es difícil adelantar lo que se publicará en el siguiente número, pero se hubiera apreciado el típico &#8220;en nuestro próximo número&#8230;&#8221;.</li>
<li>Me hubiera gustado que <strong>cada imagen </strong>trajera abajo una pequeña leyenda, pues a veces uno lee sólo esas notitas al pie de la imagen.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>COMENTARIOS FINALES</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pues éstos son mis primeros comentarios sobre Game Master, en su número 1. Sin duda vuelvo a agradecer que alguien se haya atrevido a lanzar una revista impresa de videojuegos (y multiplataformas), pues yo soy de los &#8220;románticos&#8221; que hasta el <strong>olor a papel nuevo</strong> aprecian a la hora de leer información. Internet sirve muchísimo y es útil para otras cosas, pero cuando se trata de reseñas, avances y reportajes, <strong>no hay NADA que supere al papel</strong>, pues además ya sabes qué vas a encontrar ahí, no como en internet que hay TANTA información que a veces ya no sabes ni qué leer y terminas por no informarte casi de nada (irónico pero cierto).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La revista parece la típica especializada y cara (piensen en una de carros, relojes, moda o algo así para gente de dinero) debido a su <strong>excelente presentación</strong>, en cuanto al diseño en general de la portada (aunque insisto con las letras de &#8220;Game Master&#8221;), el peso de la revista, la calidad del papel.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Parece que estás leyendo una página web por su diseño interior, muy intuitivo (a excepción de los detallitos que ya mencioné), limpio (GRACIAS!) y lleno de imágenes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como comentario final, yo siempre les diré a todos que <strong>COMPREN este tipo de revistas</strong>, pues insisto que internet es perfecto para leer noticias al instante, pero la mejor forma de leer reseñas (que siempre nos interesan) es en papel, además de que el papel es un material familiar, en lugar de la brillante y fría pantalla de la computadora, que hasta te termina canso los ojos después de un rato.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Repito, COMPREN Game Master y TODAS las revistas que les interesen, de gadgets, futbol, especializadas en ciertas consolas de videojuegos, música, cine, mujeres y lo que se puedan imaginar, pues sólo les cuestan aprox. 30 pesos mensuales (muchísimo menos de lo que gastan en el <strong>saldo de sus celulares</strong>, por ejemplo) y evita que la prensa escrita siga desapareciendo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Felicidades a Grupo Medios</strong> y los chavos directamente a cargo de la revista. Se los agradeceré todos los meses cuando vaya a Sanborns (tengo entendido que por ahora no la venden mas que en locales cerrados) y elija mi &#8220;colección&#8221; de revistas para leer ese mes, como PC Magazine, la revista Oficial de Xbox, Chilango, a veces la de Gadgets y mi H para hombres (bueno no, ésa no&#8230;).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En fin, un saludo, y por si no notaron el enlace al sitio web de Game Masters, aquí se los dejo de nuevo: <a href="http://gamemaster.com.mx/" target="_blank"><strong>Sitio oficial de Game Masters</strong></a>. Por ahora no les servirá de mucho (entren y verán por qué), pero lo dejo pensando a futuro.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nos leemos!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Ayer leyendo el blog de nuestro compañero Laocoont se me volvió a iluminar la bombilla, esa bombilla]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-963" title="Los 40 Principales de Famitsu" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/los-40-principales-de-famitsu.jpg" alt="Los 40 Principales de Famitsu" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>Ayer leyendo <a title="Profe, ¿qué nota he sacado?" href="http://laocoont.wordpress.com/2009/10/27/profe-%C2%BFque-nota-he-sacado/" target="_blank">el blog</a> de nuestro compañero Laocoont <strong>se me volvió a iluminar la bombilla, esa bombilla de las ideas que ha permanecido varios días apagada</strong> y que realmente necesitaba volver a encender.</p>
<p>En su entrada nos habla de una forma muy curiosa sobre un videojuego que se presentará a un examen y&#8230; mejor no sigo y os leéis su entrada que sino yo no haré la mía <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Tras leer su articulo <strong>me vi tentado a entrar al siguiente <a title="Famitsu - Wikipedia" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famitsu" target="_blank">enlace</a></strong> y después salté al mismo pero en <a title="Famitsu - Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famitsu" target="_blank">versión Inglesa</a> debido a que la versión Española no termina de convencerme <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>A continuación viene <strong>la reflexión de un jugador</strong> que ve como todo evoluciona y a veces ciertos mitos se nos caen y empezamos a pensar y como diría Kant <em>&#8220;Sapere Aude&#8221;</em> <strong>empezamos a razonar y no nos dejamos engañar tan fácilmente&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>La imagen de la entrada no viene a ser mas que otra afirmación sobre lo que acabo de comentar<strong>, cuando eramos pequeños nos dejábamos guiar por lo que nos contaban los mayores</strong>, todo lo que estaba escrito en un libro era cierto y los pocos afortunados que teníamos una conexión a Internet lo utilizábamos para ampliar nuestros conocimientos. <strong>Cuando queríamos comprar un videojuego recurríamos a las revistas &#8220;especializadas&#8221; </strong>como Hobby Consolas, PlayStation Magazine, Nintendo Acción&#8230; o <strong>incluso nos atrevíamos a alquilar un juego</strong> y si nos gustaba lo comprábamos. También había demos que nos ayudaban a probar los juegos sin necesidad de alquilarlos, pero también eran un campo nuevo para la mayoría de nosotros.</p>
<p><em>Quizás os restéis preguntando a que vienen tantas palabras comprimidas en un solo párrafo, es bien sencillo, simplemente estoy intentando crear un contexto, de hecho mi contexto para poder seguir desarrollando mi historia.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cuando una revista otorgaba un 10 a un videojuego, seguro que era una &#8220;must have&#8221;</strong> y nos dejábamos nuestros ahorros en su compra. <strong>A veces no hacíamos caso a las notas</strong> e íbamos a la tienda y tras una charla con el dependiente decidíamos comprar un juego u otro, o incluso nos dejaban probar el juego en la consola que tenían en la tienda para <strong>decidir si invertir todo nuestro dinero en el juego.</strong></p>
<p>Así es antes comprar un videojuego para muchos suponía tener que <strong>prescindir de otros &#8220;caprichos&#8221;</strong> que nos apetecían ya que <strong>un videojuego era un artículo de lujo.</strong> Hoy en día nos quejamos de los precios de los videojuegos, y con razón, pero <strong>haced memoria de vuestra infancia</strong>: en mi caso llegué a tener 7 u 8 juegos de la NES y porque era un afortunado, <strong>tenía amigos que tenían la consola y solo un par de juegos</strong>, ahora miro mi estantería y veo que <strong>tras de mí descansan mas de 30 juegos de Xbox 360</strong> y que con el paso del tiempo he ampliado esos 7 u 8 juegos de mi NES y se han convertido en mas de 20, ahora tenemos mas poder de decisión, porque somos adultos, independientes o quizás porque nos sobra el dinero y podemos gastarlo como nos plazca.</p>
<p>Y tras esta reflexión llega el quid de la cuestión: <strong>La prestigiosa revista Famitsu</strong> (y de la que nos hablaba Laocoont en su entrada).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-965" title="Portada Famitsu 06-2006" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/portada-famitsu-06-2006.jpg" alt="Portada Famitsu 06-2006" width="365" height="450" /></p>
<p>Famitsu, <strong>toda una autoridad</strong> en el ámbito de los videojuegos, sus reviews, análisis y noticias son como la palabra de Dios y se dice que <strong>su lista de juegos &#8220;perfectos&#8221; es tan electa</strong> que no cualquier juego puede entrar en ella y que los pocos afortunados en conseguir un 40/40 son realmente obras de arte.</p>
<p>A partir de aquí vamos a ver <strong>tres listas: </strong>la primera será una breve referencia a <strong>los 10 mejores juegos</strong> de una lista de 100 <strong>que los lectores de Famistu eligieron en 2006</strong> como los mejores juegos de la historia; la segunda lista será una lista con los <strong>17 juegos que rozan la perfección</strong> pero que se han quedado a un punto del 40 y para finalizar la lista de<strong> los 12 juegos que merecen la distinción de 40/40.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Los 10 mejores juegos según los lectores de Famitsu</li>
</ul>
<p>Tras las votaciones de los lectores en Marzo de 2006 se publicó <a title="Japan Votes on All Time Top 100" href="http://www.next-gen.biz/features/japan-votes-all-time-top-100" target="_blank">la lista</a> de los 100 mejores juegos según los lectores. El top 10 quedó de la siguiente manera:</p>
<ol>
<blockquote>
<li>Final Fantasy X (2001)</li>
<li>Final Fantasy VII (1997)</li>
<li>Dragon Quest III (1988)</li>
<li>Dragon Quest VIII (2004)</li>
<li>Machi (1998)</li>
<li>Final Fantasy IV (1991)</li>
<li>Tactics Ogre (1995)</li>
<li>Final Fantasy III (1990)</li>
<li>Dragon Quest VII (2000)</li>
<li>The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)</li>
</blockquote>
</ol>
<p>Cuatro Final Fantasy, tres Dragon Quest, Machi (una aventura que solo vio la luz en territorio Japonés), Tactics Ogre (otro RPG) y The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.</p>
<p>Como podéis ver los lectores tenían todos cierta predilección por un género en concreto, <strong>no deja de ser sorprendente que de los 100 mejores juegos, los 10 mejores sean todos del mismo &#8220;género&#8221;</strong> y que no haya por ejemplo ningún juego de lucha, plataformas o de conducción. Pero a fin de cuentas es una lista que refleja los gustos de un conjunto de gente y por lo tanto es completamente subjetiva y no podemos juzgarla por eso.</p>
<ul>
<li>Los 17 juegos que rozan la perfección</li>
</ul>
<p>Nos alejamos ya de la opinión de los lectores y nos sumergimos en el mundo de las &#8220;notas&#8221;.  17 son los juegos que rozan el 40 y sus títulos son los siguientes:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-966" title="the legend of zelda a link to the past snes" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/the-legend-of-zelda-a-link-to-the-past-snes.png" alt="the legend of zelda a link to the past snes" width="512" height="446" /></p>
<ol>
<blockquote>
<li> The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991, Nintendo, for Super Famicom)</li>
<li>Virtua Fighter 2 (1995, Sega, for Sega Saturn)</li>
<li>Ridge Racer Revolution (1995, Namco, for PlayStation)</li>
<li>Super Mario 64 (1996, Nintendo, for Nintendo 64)</li>
<li>Tekken 3 (1998, Namco, for PlayStation)</li>
<li>Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram (1999, Sega, for Dreamcast)</li>
<li>Final Fantasy X (2001, Square Co., Ltd., for PlayStation 2)</li>
<li>Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (2001, Sony Computer Entertainment, for PlayStation 2)</li>
<li>Resident Evil (2002, Capcom, for Nintendo GameCube)</li>
<li>Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (2004, Square Enix, for PlayStation 2)</li>
<li>Gran Turismo 4 (2004, Sony Computer Entertainment, for PlayStation 2)</li>
<li>Kingdom Hearts II (2005, Square Enix and Buena Vista Games, for PlayStation 2)</li>
<li>Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (2005, Konami, for PlayStation 2)</li>
<li>Dead or Alive 4 (2005, Tecmo, for Xbox 360)</li>
<li>Ōkami (2006, Capcom, for PlayStation 2)</li>
<li>The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (2007, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)</li>
<li>Grand Theft Auto IV (2008, Rockstar, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3)</li>
</blockquote>
</ol>
<p>Una lista encabezada por The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past para SNES que nos desvela que juegos son casi perfectos. En esta lista ya empezamos a ver <strong>un poco de variedad respecto a la lista ofrecida por los lectores</strong> de la revista, hay juegos de diversos géneros y creo que todos los que están en la lista (excepto &#8220;<strong>Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram</strong>&#8221; que <strong>es el único de la lista al que no he jugado</strong>) son <strong>juegos que cualquier jugador que se precie debería como mínimo probar una vez en su vida.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Los 12 juegos que merecen la distinción 40/40</li>
</ul>
<p>Por fin <strong>hemos alcanzado el Olimpo de los videojuego</strong>s, solo 12 juegos han llegado a esta lista, ellos son la perfección que debería servir de guía para los demás juegos, <strong>juegos perfectos</strong> en toda regla. A continuación <strong>mi humilde opinión sobre los juegos que son considerados 40/40.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo, for Nintendo 64)</p>
</blockquote>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-967" title="ocarina-of-time-logo" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/ocarina-of-time-logo.jpg" alt="ocarina-of-time-logo" width="500" height="493" /></p>
<p>El primer juego que entró en la lista de los 40 puntos fue Ocarina of Time, uno de los videojuegos que mejor considerado está dentro del mundo de los videojuegos. Su historia, su sistema de juego y en definitiva <strong>su identidad propia le hacen merecedor de su puesto en el Olimpo de Famitsu.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Soulcalibur (1999, Namco, for Dreamcast)</p>
</blockquote>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-485" title="soul-calibur" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/soul-calibur.jpg" alt="soul-calibur" width="500" height="500" /></p>
<p>Juego que ocupó el segundo lugar en mi <a title="Top X: Los 10 mejores juegos de Dreamcast - Cetra Land" href="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/2009/09/27/top-x-los-10-mejores-juegos-de-dreamcast/" target="_blank">Top X de juegos de Dreamcast</a> y una autentica joya. Soulcalibur <strong>fue pionero en su mundo</strong>, innovó y consiguió conquistar los corazones de muchos jugadores que a día de hoy aun nos acordamos del juego con mucho cariño, <strong>el 40/40 es un título que debe ser suyo.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Vagrant Story (2000, Square Co., Ltd., for PlayStation)</p>
</blockquote>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-969" title="vagrant story caratula" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/vagrant-story-caratula.jpg" alt="vagrant story caratula" width="500" height="512" /></p>
<p>Una de esas pequeñas joyas que Squaresoft lanzó para PlayStation y que seguramente pasó desapercibido por muchos jugadores, yo por casualidad me lo encontré en la estantería de alquileres de mi tienda de videojuegos y no pude resistirme a probarlo, a partir de ese momento este juego <strong>me robó muchas horas de mi vida</strong>, por ello creo que <strong>merece estar entre los 40 de Famitsu</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2003, Nintendo for Nintendo GameCube)</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-971" title="Wind Waker Caratula" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/tloz-wind-waker-caratula.jpg" alt="Wind Waker Caratula" width="500" height="706" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Segundo Zelda que aparece en la lista, y el primer juego que aparece en la lista que use los gráficos &#8220;Cel Shading&#8221;. Wind Waker mantenía el estilo de Ocarina of Time y Majora&#8217;s Mask pero incluía novedades como el poder para controlar el viento. En mi opinión Wind Waker <strong>es un buen juego, pero no creo que merezca contar con su 40 en Famitsu</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Nintendogs (2005, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-973" title="nintendogs caratula" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/nintendogs-caratula1.jpg" alt="nintendogs caratula" width="500" height="449" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Nintendogs, la nueva mascota virtual que des de Nintendo nos ofrecían para NDS. Un juego que evolucionaba el concepto de Tamagochi <strong>recibió una muy buena acogida entre la crítica</strong> y sus ventas corroboran su éxito. Famitsu le otorgó un 40/40 pero des de mi punto de vista, <strong>Nintendogs no está al nivel de entrar en la lista de juegos perfectos.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Final Fantasy XII (2006, Square Enix, for PlayStation 2)</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-975" title="ffxii logo" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/ffxii-logo.jpg" alt="ffxii logo" width="500" height="619" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Y aquí ya llega el punto de conflicto,<strong> algo empieza a oler</strong> en Famitsu&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">FF VI (37/40)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">FF VII (38/40)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">FFVIII (37/40)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">FF IX (38/40)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">FF X (39/40)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">FF XI (38/40)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">FF XII (40/40)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">A las notas me remito a la hora de decir que si FF VII o FF IX solo se quedan con un 38, FF X tiene un 39 y FF XII un 40, <strong>algo está fallando en los 40 de Famitsu</strong>. No digo que Final Fantasy XII sea un mal juego o que Final Fantasy X no pueda estar a las puertas de la perfección, pero creo que <strong>las notas en este caso no están muy bien otorgadas&#8230;</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008, Nintendo, for Wii)</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-976" title="smash bros brawl caratula" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/smash-bros-brawl-caratula.jpg" alt="smash bros brawl caratula" width="500" height="702" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Si con Final Fantasy veíamos que algo fallaba, con Smash Bros<strong> recuperó la fe</strong>. Super Smash Bros (31/40), Super Smash Bros Melee (37/40) y Super Smash Bros Brawl (40/40). <strong>La evolución de la saga se ha visto reflejada en notas </strong>(aún así el primer juego podría haber obtenido mejor nota ya que su calidad era muy buena). Estamos ante un claro merecedor del <strong>40/40.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008, Konami, for PlayStation 3)</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-977" title="mgs4 caratula" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/mgs4-caratula.jpg" alt="mgs4 caratula" width="500" height="577" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">El primer juego de la lista que no he jugado, y por ello no puedo opinar mucho al respecto. Pero pensar que solo se acerca a la perfección MGS 3 y el juego perfecto es MGS 4 me hace plantearme que tiene este juego respecto al primer MGS (al de PlayStation me refiero) que lo hace perfecto. Como no he jugado, <strong>debo tener fe con el &#8220;criterio&#8221; de Famitsu y dejarle en el Olimpo de los juegos.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">428: Fūsa Sareta Shibuya de (2008, Sega, for Wii)</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-978" title="428 caratula" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/428-caratula.jpg" alt="428 caratula" width="500" height="702" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">En este caso ya ni hemos tenido acceso al juego que ocupa el 40/40 de Famitsu ya que no ha salido del territorio Japonés. Por lo tanto poco puedo decir de esta novela visual. <strong>Tocará confiar otra vez con la opinión de Famitsu&#8230;</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Dragon Quest IX (2009, Square Enix, for Nintendo DS)</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-982" title="Dragon Quest IX caratula" src="http://cetraland.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/dragon-quest-ix-caratula.jpg" alt="Dragon Quest IX caratula" width="500" height="454" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Y estamos ante otro caso de juego pendiente, ya que aún no ha salido a la venta (fuera del territorio Japonés) debido a incontables retrasos en su fecha de lanzamiento, se rumorea que en el año 2010 saldrá a la venta en Inglés, pero aun no se sabe a ciencia cierta. <strong>Habrá que esperar para comprobar si el 40/40 es una nota justa</strong>, pero dudo que la saga Dragon Quest nos decepcione <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">Monster Hunter Tri (2009, Capcom, for Wii)</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">Quizás uno de los juegos mas esperados para los usuarios de Nintendo Wii, los seguidores de la saga Monster Hunter se están frotando las manos (si poseen una Wii claro está) y <strong>el 40/40 de Famitsu solo hace que incrementar las ganas de probarlo</strong>. Cuando llegue a mis manos podré decidir si la nota es merecida o no, pero <strong>si mantiene el nivel de las anteriores ediciones creo que se merece su puesto como juego 40.</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:left;">Bayonetta, el juego que apunta maneras y quiere reivindicar un puesto de reconocimiento dentro del mundo de los videojuegos, <strong>empieza con muy buen pié ya que Famitsu le ha dado el privilegio de estar en su lista de juegos perfectos. </strong>Como en los casos anteriores <strong>hasta que no vea el resultado final no podré opinar sobre si el juego es merecedor de la distinción 40/40 o no.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Esto es todo, espero que este articulo no se os haya hecho pesado. Y vosotros, <strong>¿que opináis de los 40/40 de Famitsu?</strong> ¿Aún sois de los que os dejáis manipular? o <strong>¿ya sois personas que piensan por si mismas?</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_5928" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 520px"><img class="size-full wp-image-5928" title="CoD Modern Warfare 2" src="http://playoverdrive.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/cod-modern-warfare-21.jpg" alt="Faltan 20 días..." width="510" height="282" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Faltan 20 días...</p></div>
<p>Esto según declaraciones de <strong>Infinity Ward</strong> a <strong>IGN</strong>, el modo historia durará 6 horas, más aparte la duración del modo <em>operaciones especiales</em>.</p>
<p>Tal vez esta noticia pueda afectar a muchos o quizás no, es bien sabido que pocos [<strong>Half-Life</strong>...] juegos del tipo <strong>FPS</strong> tienen una gran historia, como que el tipo de juegos se presta más a la acción que a las escenas cinemáticas al puro estilo <strong>MGS</strong>.</p>
<p>Sinceramente no tuve la oportunidad de jugar como Dios manda el primer Modern Warfare, pero se supone que había una historia de por medio aunque desconozco si era buena, en este nuevo MW la historia será muy corta, sin embargo esto no quiere decir que compres el juego, lo termines en 6 horas y lo botes junto con tus demás juegos [mi <strong><em>prince of persia</em></strong> tiene ya mucho polvo...] el punto más fuerte de CoD: MW 2 sin duda es el <strong>online</strong> y así lo creen sus desarrolladores.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;</strong>Nos hemos concentrado mucho en la experiencia que queremos proporcionar, y en realidad hemos dejado que sea la historia la que dicte la duración del juego.</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em><strong></strong>Nunca empezamos un desarrollo diciendo ‘Vamos a hacer un juego de 20 horas porque la gente quiere un juego de 20 horas’; queremos proveer una experiencia en la que empieces y digas ‘wow, quiero jugar más’. Está bien querer jugar más; es algo bueno. Luego tienes todos los demás modos. Pudo encantarte el modo historia, y dejarte con ganas de más pero asómate al juego online y verás que 14 millones de personas han estado jugando durante dos años. Eso es un juego largo, lo mires por donde lo mires.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Así que ya sabes, termínalo rápido&#8230; y ya nos estaremos viendo en el online.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>On <a title="Hideo Kojima's Blog" href="http://ameblo.jp/kp-blogcast/entry-10366236399.html">Hideo Kojima&#8217;s Blog</a>, Kojima posted that <em>Zone of the Enders 3</em> will happen one day, he just doesn&#8217;t know when.</p>
<p>“I cannot make a promise about time. However, I can promise a sequel.”</p>
<p>He also mentions that the poor sales for the game was his fault:</p>
<p>“At that time, if I hadn’t made a mistake with the release date, [Zone of the Enders] might have ended up a major Kojima Productions title to follow MGS, still seeing development as a series,”</p>
<p>I still haven&#8217;t got round to picking <em>Zone of the Enders</em> up but I would still like to see a third one be released one day.</p>

<description><![CDATA[3.26pm, Chicago Downtown Wednesday, 14th October: Tampa, Florida Rewind We caught up with the Bern]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>3.26pm, Chicago Downtown</em></p>
<p>Wednesday, 14th October: Tampa, Florida Rewind<br />
We caught up with the Bern&#8217;s &#8220;family&#8221; in Tampa across Wednesday afternoon and evening &#8211; we&#8217;ve had a tremendous relationship with all three of their &#8220;houses&#8221; going back several years: <a href="http://www.bernssteakhouse.com/" target="_blank">Bern&#8217;s Steakhouse</a> (unique dining experience destination and old school steakhouse), <a href="http://www.sideberns.com/" target="_blank">SideBern&#8217;s</a> (just down the road, modern Mediterranean cuisine restaurant) and <a href="http://www.bernsfinewines.com/" target="_blank">Bern&#8217;s Fine Wines &#38; Spirits </a>(joined to SideBern&#8217;s at the hip).</p>
<p>Bern&#8217;s Steakhouse is one of those rare stories you come across every now and then where someone sticks to their &#8220;no compromise &#8211; do it the right way&#8221; idea of running something, and it becomes a benchmark by which everything else is measured. When Bern Laxer opened his diner in 1956, he only wanted the very best produce, and in no time at all became known for that. The diner became a restaurant, the restaurant grew, the wine cellar grew with it, because in those days, not many people drank wine in Tampa, so Bern bought up well from European, American and Australian producers alike, and cellared even better. As the restaurant grew, Bern&#8217;s demand for produce grew, so they started growing their own produce when they couldn&#8217;t source what they needed. On the wine side, they now have over 30,000 vintage wines on their main cellar list, and over 120 wines by the glass on any given night.</p>
<p>So the initial desire of Bern Laxer to provide &#8220;Art in Steaks&#8221; has become a reality. Prime steaks are cut to order, the fresh fish of the day are still swimming in the kitchen tanks, trays of fresh shoots and vegetables arrive daily from the Bern&#8217;s farm, and folks will make the trip to Tampa to &#8220;do dinner&#8221; at Bern&#8217;s as a destination dining experience. Thanks to the David and the Laxer family sticking to their guns. We&#8217;re always keen to catch up with Eric and the wine boys to find out what&#8217;s happening in the wine world across the globe, as everyone beats a path to their door. It&#8217;s very nice to see our <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=172&#38;l=908&#38;v=3265" target="_blank">Organic Viognier</a>, <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/product.asp?p=153&#38;b=25" target="_blank">Signature </a>and <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/product.asp?p=153&#38;b=28" target="_blank">Octavius </a>on this particular list, and one of these days, I&#8217;ve promised myself the whole dining thing. This means dinner downstairs, then upstairs to the Harry Waugh Dessert Room &#8211; something that Bern instigated after a dinner with Harry, then a director with Chateau Latour. After dinner, they did fortified wines, cognac, cheese and coffee separately in the Waugh&#8217;s drawing room, hence the idea of moving to a more relaxed and private area for after dinner conversation came about. Ater dropping by the kitchen to show Eric and David our latest releases, we were off up the road to Bern&#8217;s Fine Wine &#38; Spirits to do a consumer tasting.</p>
<p>These Wednesday tastings aren&#8217;t your average get together though, as they involve folks doing the tasting taking home a &#8220;pot luck&#8221; boxed dinner from Side Bern&#8217;s. This night&#8217;s dinner was a traditional cassoulet, so the wines Mark (our man in Florida) Diamond chose for the evening were based around Rhone styles: <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=199&#38;l=1161&#38;v=3588" target="_blank">Eden Valley Viognier</a>, <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=199&#38;l=1157&#38;v=3563" target="_blank">Bush Vine Grenache</a>, <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=199&#38;l=1163&#38;v=4104" target="_blank">Barossa Shiraz Viognier</a>, <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=18&#38;l=229&#38;v=2261" target="_blank">Hand Picked MGS </a>(Mouvedre, Grenache, Shiraz). We were thrilled to bits as we sold out the store on the night &#8211; thanks a huge amount to Kevin and his team, and the great gang of Tampa Wineophiles that came out on a steamy evening to taste through the set.</p>
<div id="attachment_1198" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1198" title="smoke-mac-and-cheese" src="http://yalumbastories.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/smoke-mac-and-cheese.jpg?w=150" alt="Smoke's Skillet Mac &#38; Cheese" width="150" height="100" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Smoke&#39;s Skillet Mac &#38; Cheese</p></div>
<p>We had such a good time &#8211; you should enjoy your work &#8211; that we ended up going to a local BBQ restaurant called Smoke with several of the tasting crew. I was introduced to skillet-cooked mac &#38; cheese, which is an extremely good and spicy version of the instant macaroni cheese thing we see at home. In the photo, it&#8217;s sitting next to a rack of the best succulent slow smoked pork ribs that I&#8217;ve seen this trip. Thanks to the legal eagle and the medico for their company &#8211; we&#8217;ll definitely see you next trip.</p>
<p>And that made it Goodbye Tampa &#8211; nice town, very nice people, small but excellent wine and food circuit that holds it own with anywhere in the world &#8211; as the next morning we took the early flight down to Fort Lauderdale.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Olá, amiguinhos!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Está no ar a terceira edição do <a href="../2009/06/05/coisinhas-gamers-da-bebs/">Coisinhas Gamers da Bebs</a>. Lembrando, como sempre, que este é um espaço para compartilhar coisas aleatórias relacionadas a games, encontradas por aí na internet ou feitas por mim.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Vamos aos itens de hoje.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>IMAGENS</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Temos aqui uma seleção de imagens relacionadas a Pacman, de objetos de decoração a fãs e suas tatuagens.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>DUBLAGENS</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como já é de costume, mais dublagens de alguns diálogos dos meus games favoritos. Nos próximos posts da série vou tentar dar uma variada, para não ficar só em Metal Gear.  xD</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>1 – Otacon, Child Voice (MGS4)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Otacon elogiando Snake com vozinha cuti-cuti.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/BgIDZY7o39A&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/BgIDZY7o39A&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Obs: Não reparem no som meio medonho de crianças gritando ao fundo, era a criançada brincando na rua. O gravador do meu celular é bem potente mesmo. rsrs </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>2 – Otacon, British Accent (MGS2)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dando uma de Bebs Potter e tentando um sotaque britânico.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/OUks42WxPAA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/OUks42WxPAA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>3 – Otacon, Southern American Accent (MGS2)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quem assiste True Blood, seriado sobre vampiros que é ambientado no estado americano da Louisiana, sabe muito bem como é o sotaque “caipira” do pessoal no sul dos Estados Unidos. Eu acho o máximo, vivo tentando imitar! Mas não consigo fazer direito, obviamente. Enfim, aí vai uma das tentativas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/wkkyBepr7TE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/wkkyBepr7TE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>4 – Snake &#38; Paramedic (MGS3)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em MGS3, Snake gera reações inusitadas em seus companheiros quando decide usar uma cabeça de crocodilo como disfarce. Paramedic se amarrou.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/wc_oVg9FBZU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/wc_oVg9FBZU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>5 – Snake &#38; EVA (MGS3)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">EVA foi a única que teve uma reação “normal” e achou o disfarce de Snake uma verdadeira piada.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/nCU37agEww0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/nCU37agEww0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>4.23pm, Powell St, San Francisco, California, USA</em><br />
I have to squeeze these posts in on the hotel&#8217;s community computer, as you can&#8217;t get wireless in the rooms, so bear with me as I&#8217;m off and back on.</p>
<p>Thursday, 1st October: Cowtown (Fort Worth) Rewind<br />
That particular morning started like a Stevie Ray Vaughan song &#8220;Well, there&#8217;s flooding down in Texas &#8230;&#8221;. The rain just dumping down, but it wasn&#8217;t cool. We headed over to Lanny&#8217;s <a href="http://www.lannyskitchen.com/" target="_blank">Alta Cocina Mexicana </a>in Fort Worth to show our new releases to the retail and restaurant folk of Cowtown, and to catch up with our sales team from Prestige. Pay attention now, because that day in Fort Worth showed me a totally different style of food that they do over there that is not just Tex-Mex tacos done a different way. There is a Texan cuisine that incorporates Mexican condiments and cooking methods that is unique, and we were lucky enough to see two of the best!</p>
<div id="attachment_1130" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1130" title="Lannys-scallops" src="http://yalumbastories.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/lannys-scallops.jpg?w=150" alt="Lanny's scallops" width="150" height="108" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Lanny&#39;s scallops</p></div>
<p>From Lanny&#8217;s Kitchen, two dishes were standouts. The Chorizo-Wrapped Scallops, Housemade Angel Hair, and Mojo de Ajo actually had chorizo shaved to salami thickness and wrapped around the scallops prior to being seared off. The angel hair was a noodle made in-house the consistency of fairy floss (cotton candy for those from the USA), and the mojo de ajo was the spicy sauce made from dried chilis that everything else sat on. The winner with the dish &#8211; equal tie between the <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=199&#38;l=1161&#38;v=3038" target="_blank">Eden Valley Viognier </a>and the <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=199&#38;l=1157&#38;v=3563" target="_blank">Bush Vine Grenache</a>.</p>
<p>The other thing that was just so good was the dessert &#8211; cajeta creme brulee. It was made to go with the Botrytis Viognier, as it&#8217;s rich and in texture more of a gel than a cream. Cajeta is actually caramelised goats milk and has a toffeed characteristic all its own.</p>
<p>Then it was over to the other side of Cowtown &#8211; you have to go. There&#8217;s a lovely downtown area with the old style buildings and the Stockyards &#8211; the original home of the Texas longhorn herd auctions, having travelled in from all over central Texas. There&#8217;s a whole dose of old saloons and dance halls that are still open and having a hell of a good time keeping the Old West alive and kicking. Through listening to Bob Will&#8217;s records, I&#8217;d always sang along with the song &#8220;Big Balls in Cowtown&#8221;, never realising that that was the name of the dance hall and honky tonk up the top of the Stockyards. And it&#8217;s still there too. I get most of my info on great bars from songs, check out &#8220;Lee&#8217;s Liquor Lounge&#8221; in Minneapolis &#8211; I got that one from a Dale Watson song. And that place is definitely still there!</p>
<p>So it was off to <a href="http://bonnellstexas.com/" target="_blank">Bonnell&#8217;s </a>restaurant for a big consumer dinner &#8211; and to catch up with the owners Jon &#38; Melinda Bonnell, whom we met 7 years ago when they visited Yalumba as part of their honeymoon in Australia. Thus started a mutual love affair, and we&#8217;ve had a bagful of wine on the list there ever since. Jon is the cook and is the king of Texan cuisine as far as I&#8217;m concerned. We&#8217;ve done a couple of trade lunches before, but this was the first proper consumer &#8220;Yalumba wines and Jon&#8217;s food matched to them&#8221; dinner that we&#8217;d done.</p>
<div id="attachment_1131" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1131" title="Jon-Bonnell-and-his-BBQ" src="http://yalumbastories.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/jon-bonnell-and-his-bbq.jpg?w=150" alt="Jon Bonnell and his BBQ" width="150" height="100" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jon Bonnell and his BBQ</p></div>
<p>Excuse me whilst I write every dish up, and I&#8217;ve put in photos of everything &#8211; because you need to see this guy&#8217;s stuff. From the start to the finish &#8211; amazing combinations, and nothing but smiles and clean dry plates from the 60 diners! From the top &#8211; firstly this is Jon with his BBQ &#8211; a completely different unit to what we use at home. (<a href="http://yalumbastories.wordpress.com/2009/10/05/the-pics-from-bonnells/" target="_self">Find the rest of the photos here</a>.)</p>
<p>Firecracker Texas Shrimp with sweet chilli dipping sauce and <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=199&#38;l=1161&#38;v=3038" target="_blank">Eden Valley Viognier 2007 </a>- really succulent smaller prawns with some get up and go!</p>
<p>Smoked Baby Back Ribs (done in that big barrel BBQ in the picture) with Chipotle Barbecue Sauce, Grilled Watermelon and Southwestern Slaw and <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=18&#38;l=229&#38;v=2261" target="_blank">MGS (Mouvedre Grenache Shiraz ) 2006</a>. Now, a bit of a translation. Chipotle is a fully ripened and smoked jalapeno chilli, and produces a rich dark smoky sweet result with slow burn heat. Layer that over sweet grilled but still crisp watermelon that was the base underneath the shredded cabbage and dressed &#8220;coleslaw&#8221; and you start to see why it just loved the chunky old fashioned sweet and dry MGS. Let alone the ribs with their fall off the bone meat! Yep &#8211; a goodie!</p>
<p>Australian Grass Fed All Natural Lamb Chop with Roasted Garlic Potato Croquettes and The <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=27&#38;l=19&#38;v=1734" target="_blank">Menzies Coonawarra Cabernet 2003</a>. A lot of oohs and ahs over this one, as lamb generally takes a back seat to beef in this state, so what a treat for folks to see it as tender as it was with just the right partner showing all the blackcurrant and mint eaucalypt aromatics and lush front fruit and French oak granuley length that Coonawarra can do in a skilled set of hands &#8211; thanks very much winemaker Peter Gambetta and chef Jon Bonnell!</p>
<p>But wait, just when you think it can&#8217;t get any better &#8230;</p>
<p>Australian Waygu Beef Top Sirloin with Huitlacoche Grits and Grilled Corn Salsa and <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=26&#38;l=16&#38;v=2106" target="_blank">The Reserve Cabernet Shiraz 2001</a>. More translation is required! The beef was sensational as expected, but it was the sides that really shone out. You have to say Huitlacoche as &#8220;wheet-la-coach-ay&#8221;. It&#8217;s actually a fungus that grows on the tips of corn ears and &#8220;explodes&#8221; the corn kernels. It&#8217;s treated as a serious delicacy and is known as the Mexican Truffle. For us in Australia, when you see &#8220;grits&#8221;, think uncooked polenta. So this side dish is really truffled polenta presented in a &#8220;cup&#8221; made from tortillas and topped with roasted fresh corn kernels tossed in Jon&#8217;s secret spice mix! Beautiful stuff and went really well with the Reserve &#8211; let alone the beef.</p>
<p>And then &#8230; dessert.</p>
<p>Homemade Mini Ice Cream Sundaes with the <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=34&#38;l=31&#38;v=79" target="_blank">Yalumba Antique Tawny</a>. Now left to right, these cones were handmade from pie crust, and were Toffee Pecan, Strawberries &#38; Cream, and Chocolate &#38; Fig</p>
<p>The boy is good at the stoves, the floor staff are treated like family, and it&#8217;s no wonder we got hijacked to the bar and opened some more Antique Tawny and some <a href="http://www.yalumba.com/vintage.asp?p=154&#38;b=199&#38;l=1162&#38;v=3313" target="_blank">Patchwork Shiraz </a>afterward. No one wanted to go home, and I&#8217;m not surprised. Looks like we have a bona fide annual event now in Cowtown at Bonnells. And for the record &#8211; I&#8217;m already free that day!</p>
<p>PS Jon&#8217;s just done his first cookbook, and if you&#8217;re at all interested in the sort of food I&#8217;ve described above &#8211; have a look. It&#8217;s called &#8220;<a href="http://bonnellstexas.com/products.php" target="_blank">Fine Texas Cuisine</a>&#8221; and has a heap of Jonny&#8217;s secrets inside.</p>
<p>So that was it for Cowtown, and we limped back into the Big D very late Thursday night for a big sleep. But we&#8217;ll be back &#8211; definitely!</p>

<p>This link. Click it.</p>
<p>That is all&#8230;</p>
<p><!--more-->Not really&#8230;</p>
<p>I saw the trailer for this a long while ago and thought the idea behind it was cool. A fan film, feature length at that, based on the Metal Gear Solid franchise, if I had the money and the time, I&#8217;d do it myself (I&#8217;ve discussed this in great detail with a dear friend, along with my plans for a Zelda movie, but that is fodder for another day, and <a href="http://www.theherooftime.com/"><em>The Hero of Time</em></a> has already premiered).  <em>MGS: Philanthropy</em> is very well done. I just finished watching the film; it is worth a view. The makers are obviously dedicated fans, and there are a few nods to the games that are nifty. Overall, the piece is solid and is about as faithful a movie adaption a nerd could hope for.</p>
<p>The film takes place during the years of Philanthropy&#8217;s operations. For those not in know, Philanthropy is the name of an underground organization founded by hero of the game franchise and his otaku/haxor sidekick, Solid Snake and Otacon respectively. According to canon, after the events of <em>Metal Gear Solid</em>, Snake went back into retirement, only to use all that spare time to track down, destroy, and otherwise prevent the manufacture and operation of metal gears, the bipedal, often nuclear, tanks for which the series is named. This fan film takes some liberties with the mostly undocumented activities between <em>Metal Gear Solid</em> and <em>Sons of Liberty</em> and places Snake on an infiltration mission into some random near Middle Eastern hole-in-the-wall, or rather, blithe-on-the-map. He is joined by two new members, recruited by some diplomat that happens to also be a member of the merry Philanthropist group, and their mission is to rescue this diplomat&#8217;s father &#8211; a Senator no less.</p>
<p>Of course, it doesn&#8217;t take long for things to turn out to be more than what they seem and many questions are raised, and none get answered. Why? Well this project seems to be broken into parts. Part one is out now; part two I assume is on the way. Maybe.</p>
<p>In any event, the film works more than it doesn&#8217;t. The sound and picture quality are high, though the vocal mix is a little hot and is off sync in few scenes. The titles and many of the visual effects are fantastic, very professional looking. Not to say that they aren&#8217;t professional, but this isn&#8217;t a licensed, studio film. it was made by fans &#8211; most likely for fans. I don&#8217;t think Konami or Kojima Productions &#8211; let alone Kojima-san himself &#8211; will be taking much action on this, if any. It&#8217;s free promotion for their awesome games. Plus, the mythos has been expanded in an Alt-U fashion that carry fan interest in-between canon titles &#8211; like <em>Rising</em>, which, according to an interview I skimmed over in the latest issue <em>GamePro</em> yesterday, is still on the drawing board basically. How exactly do you officially announce a title, but NOT EVEN HAVE A GAME YET? Really, this makes all the anticipation I had for Rising just slip away.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just saying&#8230; <em>MGS4</em>was at least announced with a real trailer&#8230;</p>

<description><![CDATA[Wow.  Its been more than a year since the phenominal MGS4 seemingly closed out the Metal Gear saga. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Wow.  Its been more than a year since the phenominal MGS4 seemingly closed out the Metal Gear saga.  After a ride that was as amazing to watch as it was to experience, everyone knew they would try to keep the series alive, but havent quite figured out how after that.  Well this trailer that premiered at TGS09 is to try and fill out the gaps between Big boss and Solid Snake.  Note, playing MGS3 and Portable Ops would make it much more exciting, but even the passive MGS fan will be excited to see why Big Boss turned out the way he did.</p>
<p>     Just to fill out a little history from memory, just to help understand the trailer.  Big Boss (Snake) was forced to kill his mentor/hero the Boss to help prevent some bad bad stuff (being vague on purpose except for what they show in the trailer, these are the events of MGS3).  Being disillusioned with fighting for a country (the US) Snake takes the time to to save the world and create a group of what is called nomads in the trailer, which is comprised of soldiers that have been abandoned or mistreated by thier respective countries.  Snake being the only person known for his combat prowess and being an overall hero leads these men into lives untethered by their home countries (MGS portable ops).   This pretty much brings you to the events of the trailer with Snake and his band, fighting for what they believe in, not what their countries tell them too, which if anyone knows MGS history leads to the very first game and its story of Outer Haven. </p>
<p>Ive left out a lot of the story and the good details, but all the hardcore fans will know all this and more, and will just enjoy the trailer.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Sunday</strong>&#8230;the first day of which the Sun first rose, and seperated the day from the night, the light from the dark.<br />
According to some calenders, Sunday is the first day of the week; I like to think so too, because that means you get one day off in the beginning of the week, and one at the end; which is nice <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Today I bought a BIG can of <strong>Fructis Bamboo Flexihold</strong> hairspray!<br />
-Extreme!<br />
It is superstrong, flexible and smells very nice <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Images/ExternalImages/ProductsDetailed/22/119722.jpg" alt="" width="67" height="300" /><br />
Argh I played MGS 2 for about 6 hours last night, started at 22:00 and finished around 4-5 in the morning!<br />
I cant believe how great the game is, it&#8217;s soo addictive&#8230;<em>I love being a ninja.</em><br />
-<strong>I also love finding all of these pictures of hot girls</strong> <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
