And With That, I Ate A Pizza.

Hey guys, I just wanted to post some more stuff, as I plan on possibly updating this blog daily, probably around 8:00 PM (20:00 hours), and maybe start a little workout after that.  Not tonight, though; even though I could burn off the calories of the pizza I just ate, my metabolism is so off-the-chart that I really don't have to worry about that.  Although, I am hoping to buff up a bit so as not to be somewhat wimpy by the time marching band season comes around (which it basically already has).  I mean, I still have the muscle power right now to withstand it, but I want to actually buff up, turn it into a "no sweat" kind of thing.  I also plan on eating less junk food every day, which I tend to do, sometimes even without the intent.  Sure, there's nothing really wrong with hot dogs or other such food, but every day?  Come on, bud, shape up!  Besides, I'd rather not be as I have been recently, which would be bad habits for my future.  Even though my parents are still saying "you don't need to worry about it, Michael, not at this age," habits are habits, and they are a bitch to break.  Honestly, I actually was able to quit biting my nails for a while, but then gave in to it.  They were long by that time, sure, but now they're the stubs they were before.  I want to break any unhealthy habits I have right now, before I turn into an unhealthy bastard by the time I hit adulthood, and that includes a daily/weekly workout routine and healthier eating.
On the other hand, the other day I was thinking of the Devil May Cry games, and now I reflect on Ninja Theory's taking over the series, and I am really not looking forward to Dante's new look.  It's almost like they combined Edward Cullen and Adam Lambert, and honestly, I know not one single person who digs that kind of thing, and it just doesn't have the essence of Dante.  Dante looks like he's ready to kick some ass for every previous game, which were ones Capcom had developed, but now he just looks like a total pussy.  I plan on sending the company a serious complaint explaining why I wouldn't want this character model, and I'm quite sure other fans of the series feel the same.  I will buy the game, though, regardless of a new character model, as that is not of large importance, but I do feel it takes away from the experience.  If at least the voice acting, story, and gameplay do the series justice, I'm set to go.  I'd dock points for the pussy called "Dante", however, as Dante is meant to be a total badass.  Unfortunately, I also don't have high hopes for the other points I look for than the experience, as Ninja Theory seems to overestimate themselves.  In my opinion, their games have been rather shitty, especially the more recent releases, including Enslaved: Odyssey To The West which is a cliche action game with an even more cliche dystopian future type of story.  But, back to the main point: the experience; It doesn't feel like Devil May Cry if it doesn't feel like Dante.  And the experience is a HUGE factor as to why I love certain games.  And lack of experience is exactly why games like Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters are my least favourite of the series' installments.  And some of this is highly suspect of other companies taking over the series and attempting to do it justice, but then falling flat on their face.
And so, now that my anger has been expressed publicly without going all ragetastic, good-bye and have a good day, everyone!
