SOPA & PIPA are the most ignorant, idiotic acts I have ever seen...
I mean really, the internet is a the world's best form of income because everyone uses it! Well, almost everyone. (Ahem, SOPA and PIPA supporters.) If you don't know too much about the acts, here is a little information about both, from Wikipedia. (They blacked out their website just because of these horrid acts.)
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), also known as House Bill 3261 or H.R. 3261, is a bill that was introduced in the United States House of Representatives on October 26, 2011, by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar S. Smith (R-TX) and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors. The bill, if made law, would expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Presented to the House Judiciary Committee, it builds on the similar PRO-IP Act of 2008 and the corresponding Senate bill, the PROTECT IP Act.
Basically, this act would totally kill sites like Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and a whole bunch of other sites. Wikipedia is going on strike now because of these acts. If the goverment were to put SOPA and PIPA into action, all your favorite sharing sites and social media sites would be gone forever. That is... until the acts were gone. I don't know what's going to happen, the world would go crazy if these acts somehow get passed. I really hope nothing bad happens.
I wish I could blackout my site, but it's up to Blogger/Blogspot to do that. I can't add the blackout code to this blog just yet.
And I remember hearing about this game called Rusty Heartson YouTube from a channel called Mega64. Some may have hear of them, some haven't, but they make hilarious video game parodies. One of my favorites certainly was the Rusty Hearts commercial and the Heavy Rain parody. Here, take a look!
These two videos are absolutely hilarious! The great thing about these videos is that they aren't a huge company like Machinima.The quality is great, the actors are funny, and they all have a love for games. :) Just like you and I!
Rusty Hearts is a great game to play once in a while, but it's not too fun without friends. Most of the game consists of doing quests alone because of the lack of players in lower level areas. It is fun though.
One thing I absolutely love about the entire Final Fantasy franchise is the amazing music that comes along with the scenes and battle sequences! Currently, I'm still on Final Fantasy XIII... (I put off that game for soooo long!) I really love the OST for this game, created by Masashi Hamauzu, a composer at Square Enix.
I think the true Final Fantasy fans will recognize this amazing track no matter what sort of variation is made. Here, take a listen!
There are also amazing people that cover the some of the pieces! Here is an example of a nice battle track called Blinded by Light covered by darksugar178 on youtube!
I hope you enjoy this, and if you haven't played Final Fantasy XIII, do so now! I think the gameplay isn't all that great, but the storyline is one of the best I've ever seen.
I'm just an average person just like anything else. I love to make short films and will probably make some in the future! Also, gaming is my passion. :)
