Loose Change 9/11 2009 version review





When I first heard about the 9/11 event on the world trade centres back in 2001 I was actually excited about it. Its not very often we get a huge shocking event a disaster that shakes the minds of people and I enjoy the intensity of it all. I know how heartless that sounds but I don't think I could truly grasp the real horror of the event without seeing it in person but for some reason it did effect me over time. I certanly don't like the idea of flying, Ive begun to dislike heights and the perspectives of space and height and any movie footage of 911 makes me fills me with panic and I get all queasy.  At first I believed that it was a terrorist attack but over time I have watched much about the american abuse of power and other theorys concerning political wrongs. 


The movie which I believe is freely available over youtube couldn't convince anyone more that not only was the 9/11 an inside job but proves just how easy the American people or people worldwide can be manipulated. I think this film as been produced by a movement of people who work under Alex Jones and they get treated like a anarcists and when you look at how corrupt the govenment is anything that rebels against it is of interest to me. This actualy film makes me think that we are the brink of an extreme facist nazi government which works in the same way. Infact I only realised recently that the Nazi's were not a communist power but a socialist nationalist power which I see more revealing itself all the time. This movie is the best out of the Loose Change series and its put together really well showing clear animations of certain things. I also believe now thats it true that governments will terminate people who can reveal information that proves of wrong doings. I now believe strongly that the American government think in ways that are insane and that they will do anything to acheive a prosperous economy to feed there own desires.

Game Review

Fable 2 XBOX 360



Well Its been a long time since I entertained myself with playing a rpg style game apart from going on world of warcraft on occasions which I will also review in the near future. For some reason I never thought much of these type of games which I believe was due to ignorance on my part and also thinking that all rpg games were developed for a younger Asian market but I am actually pleasantly surprised.

This game is actually the type of game I would keep for ever due to many positive things about the game. The first thing is the great lush graphics that are just stunning eye candy especially in respect to the different textures and powerful particles and details. There are though at times some simple graphics which don't actually spoil things especially water on the water wheel close up but never mind. The game play is really simple yet effective and it takes about half an hour to pick up the interface. The action in the game switches between emotional interaction and button bashing fighting if your welding a light weight weapon of course which is a style I tend not to use myself. The virtual world around yourself is simple yet full of hidden treasures and other places to explore which mainly consist of town, trails and tunnels plus also tombs. There are also many things to do in the town but you still will feel confined after a good week with the amount of extras available yet its all about developing your character and watching him or her change and grow into either a evil demonic person or a good loving person. The story dies a little bit fast yet game and mission really are interesting and will really satisfy. There are also some added H P Lovecraft stuff for those who like that kind of stuff.

Score for game

Graphics 9.4
Interface/Controls 9.6
Plot 9.7
AI 9.2
Fun/Action 9.4
Depth 8.8
Playability from a fortnight to a lifetime.

Conclusion

It is an additive game which will beg you to keep playing for a great length of time.

Bugs

The game kept crashing all the time yet I still could not let that stop me from playing and I am now after a new hard drive for my xbox 360 as this should hopefully fix the disc reading issue.

What have I done in the game so far

After around 20 plus hours of game play I am still using my first character whom as completed the main story, developed a decent money making venture which I really liked, married and accidental killed my wife and baby which as left me feeling really ashamed, I am a handsome slightly evil and fat hero who holds a mace and rifle at the moment. I have got my dog still whom I look after. I will playing again very soon.

Funny Games Film Review



I got a chance to watch the American version of the art house film funny games last night which was incredible in its presentation of being almost identical to the original European version made a decade ago and its acting was just as spine chilling as watching a film like salo. I read up on many comments made on the IMDB Internet movie database and was astonished to see the lack of intellectual response to this work of genius. First of all it reminded me of another psychological film I recently watched called pathology which seemed to delve into the relationship between predatory human instinct alongside that of knowledge. In Funny games we see that a psychosis which is evident seems to have formed from humans with a lack of connection to other humans in which they seem to suffer from some kind of egomania that makes me feel sorry for them in a strange way because of there lack of care and compassion for loving people and how families are such a special thing and yet the evil that is presented shows persons with a complete disconnection from humanity and drawn into the theory's of quantum physics which causes the perpetrators of having disillusions with reality acting out a show for each of us to be shocked into an emotional state. The same thing is demonstrated in the film pathology because it shows the lack of empathy through a higher level of knowledge in which knowledge is a key factor in for me the destruction of feeling and compassion which is swapped for morbid curiosity and lack of connection to humans through having a ego complex which many believe to be the reason for most killings today in that humans who are more higher up in evolution could become more predatory by instinct and madness. And I have just realised that saw films also associate some incredible genius with strong moral standards to be seen as the villain as if his knowledge as unlocked some kind of level where by he needs to fulfill his life by destroying those around him especially with his own impending death making things even more problem for him. So my question is this do you think that the more evolved we become the more likely we are to think ourselfs into the insanity to prey upon the weaker species in the food chain that some films depict.

Those are only my intuitive thoughts on those films and I am not educated enough to say that what my findings are true and they are only my personal observations. As I believe much can be learnt from fiction and film if observed with depth.







This as to be one of my fav ever piece's of music from the movie called Meet Joe Black which is very dramatic and powerfully romantic in such a profound way. I also like it how it fits well with the discovery of the magic of making love which I believe is possible through innocence which makes this film contain such power. This is a song I would like playing at my funeral if and when I die so that it shows how my soul could be comforted by the imaginary realms of love that this film inspired within me. I usually listen to this song on head phones while I am out and about and get a real euphoric love for nature and everything. In many ways the film itself explores the principles of gods love which is unconditional and dangerous to the extent that love itself should be respected and not exploited. Below is the Love making scene



The whole film is in itself a masterpiece of filming art and even the acting is profoundly dramatic. The previous scene to me was exhilaratingg enough to enjoy it for them. And while envious of such angelic persons I only imagine myself living out the experience. That is what is so magical to me about imagination and that is because if your sensitive enough to feel through drama such actions of the best actions that human nature as to offer then for me its a true blessing. If I was to die and you heard this song then at least you would know that the vibrations and sound levels are heavenly to my ears and that if there is an heaven then such things would become a part of my existence. I hope you also like Nebula aka Richard.
