if FFX were real

 Tidus would have been on drugs with baby mommas for sure.


Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of FFX but the more I think about Zanarkand's description being a machine run utopia the more I have a hard time believing it.

If you haven't played the game to the near end then don't read this. (I'd imagine not many people do but since I actually care about fellow gamers enjoying the experience of the story, I thought a warning was warranted.)


So this game is awesome. Its set in the future of the future. And in the first future, all the work is done by machines and humans get to play all day. The city's most popular form of entertainment is blitzball. The main character is a star player of said sport. 


Now you see quite a few NPCs in Zanarkand but here's where the fantasy plays in.


NONE of them are fat.

There are few small children. 

There are few old people.

Everyone seems healthy and sane. NO one is doing drugs. No one is seen eating a got damn thing!

With all this leisure time, where the kids at? Where the guts at? They ain't got that bomb ass weed?

We currently live in a society that if you don't start saving at 25 and establish a career by 30 you are pretty much doomed to varying levels of poverty and shame. Yet there are morbidly obese people, kids, drug addicts and single parents all over the place.

You mean to tell me in a society where no one has to work or worry about housing that no one is over eating, having irresponsible sex and doing drugs? NO ONE?!

Not even the athletes?

Even the matrix has degenerates.


Now some of you may be thinking...


Final fantasy is just that...A fantasy! (and also that thing that we find out later on)

But if you look a the Zelda series, there are more realistic varieties of people and character development. 

There are fat people, homeless people, drug addicts, and gravity. But there are also talking animals. time travel, and magic weapons just like in final fantasy.

 
And Zelda  is catered more to small children.



Don't misunderstand. I LOVE this game! But the older I get the harder it is to fall into a wonderland that doesn't have some grip on reality. The story is beautiful, the game play is rewarding but in the future there should be more of an effort to make the people more real. But not too real.

We can't deny that boners inspired by animated characters do sell games.

Goon Elimination Techniques

If you love martial arts movies like I do then you already know the formula. ....but I'm not here to talk about that today. I showed up to blow up how those poor unfortunate souls tasked with protecting the bad guy get LAID OUT by the hero. 11. The Warning Yell. -Look, y'all bout to get fucked up. This is the emergency get-yo-ass-out the way broadcast system. This is not a test.   10 . Slappin' ya face! -These goons are so low level that an open hand and a yell is all it takes to get them out of the way. Some might mistake these moves for chops or pressure points. Naw, this be straight up pimpin' without the baby powder.  Yeah I know, she is using a shoe. But that shit is still funny!   The real Slap Attack! 9. Get Outta Here! -What Scorpion would do with these fools, the hero does the opposite. He or She literally shoves, flips, or kicks them out of the way. While finding themselves dazed and confused their brains are no longer required t...

TRYING ME 05/23/25

  There is this dumb, fake ass bitch at my job has been trying me since I was hired.  She's married, overweight and recently a new mother.  When I was hired, she was pregnant and I thought I would only be at the company until she returned from maternity leave.  Before she left, she made sure to act a complete ass towards me whenever possible.  While training me the Ukraine Russia conflict came up (this was back in the early stages). I made a comment (it was just me and her in the room) generally stating that Russia needs to stop flexing because it is affecting the US economy (and it was because we had to impose shipping fees on our customers etc.). This bitch proceeds to raise her voice and scold me about how people are dying and what not.  I let it go. I didn't say anything to her for 2 reasons:  1. The bitch was so pregnant I didn't want to put her into labor.  2. The bitch was so pregnant she obviously was miserable and cognitively impaired....

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE

I hadn't seen this movie in over 2 decades. When the opening credits began, I felt a deep since of sadness and darkness. I could say it was my sparse memory of the plot and the overall somber mood from the imagery.  I know it was something else. It wasn't until the movie truly began that I was able to identify the source of the sadness.  This being a "cult" film, I knew there would be some disappointments in plot continuity and special effects partially due to the "wholesome" expectations of the time.  Overall it wasn't too disappointing. The story itself is so compelling that no one really cared about the following: 1. How well folded and "pressed" that note looked after Blanche had crumpled it all to hell and threw it out a window when Jane returned it to her.  2. How Blanche had no idea that Jane was stealing money from her until she started serving her dead animals from around the house.  It could be that this plot hole is an artistic refer...
