Growing up with an NES and being overcome by the charm and rebellion of Sega has been a lifelong memory for me. Sadly, due to recent times a favorite gaming company of mine has now fallen down to the vile corruption and evils of the devil. They are taking a stance to promote an allegiance with the lgbtq community. I will not be interested any longer in their development as a company while they continue to do this. I hope you will do you own due diligence and letting them know you do not approve of this kind of behavior as well. Maybe this is a sign from God himself that I need to steer clear completely from gaming? I don’t know, whatever the case is, but I am not at all ok with supporting immorality and degeneracy.
From where I am sitting it seems rather peaceable around here, except for the fact that Ukraine and Russia are on an onslaught bloodbath to kill each other for numerous months and years and quite possibly this is starting to elevate into the middle east. and here in America we are at a cobweb of shit whether it be the people that are trying to play God and transition their bodies into an opposite gender, thus destroying the very sanctity of what is a true a whole human being which is made up of male and female.
And it doesn’t stop there, we have in America a huge a severe crisis with homelessness and drug addiction taking hold of many Americans. You see these videos on youtube of the cities and streets of America and its really starting to look disgusting.
The overwhelming flood of negativity and hatred that is spread fierce and wide, while we are all drowning in social media and distractions that make us think that everything is ok.
The time is coming for change and a pursuit of values and things that have intrinsic and objective moral value. Yes, there is an objective and defined plan and design of this life, and it is illustrated plainly in the bible. And the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. historically true and realized worldwide for generations. All that music, and entertainment you shovel into your head comes from a human being just like yourself. They don’t have the answers for this life and the reality of this universe. But God does and he designed this planet and earth flawlessly.
It’s in the arrangement of nature and the wildlife that we see and explore its designed and crafted by the hands of God.
I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet around here; I just haven’t been feeling my best self. But now I know I have a heavenly father in heaven, and I have the responsibility on this earth to be a good father to my own son, even if he doesn’t accept me, I will still try and build for him a better life, and that is with hope – but the utmost responsibility to start taking charge of my life and make better decisions and better invest into myself the hope of Christ salvation.
For better or worst I grew up on an undistinguished likeness to any particular sound. I guess as a young kid I would hear the church choir sing. and I would hear that music, and it was beautiful and lovely, while some is even somber but very therapeutic for both mind and body. So, what is this business about metal and Christianity? that was something I had no clue or idea about and couldn’t even conjure the thought.
Enter the modern world and you have bands like Vengeance Rising, Living Sacrfice who’re essentially been doing what Slayer and other popular thrash bands do, without fault. It isn’t a thing of faith or belief that you should dictate your musical choice or preference.
See what I think is that music is… MUSIC! whatever which way you play it, it is a sound, and it does reverberate and echo something inside you. So, I think people should first and foremost listen to the music, and then read the details and decide for yourself if you want to support or encourage any particular genre or music “scene”. I just wish it wasn’t so bigoted and curtailed to every fucking leisure or suite.
Facts are facts, the beginning of this universe had a creator, and that is God. So, all this music we consume and enjoy is brought to you by the talented hands of the creator. Everything we do and labor for and give any effort or worth into comes from something, and this is the beautiful nature of Christianity. Jesus is the master craftsman, and He does Portrey and divulge and display all the last disgusting thing humans are capable of.
Go travel the griefs of the world in a Pilgrims Progress or absolutely mystify and distort your mind with the Space Trilogy. Everything worth your time and energy entertaining yourself with comes from an individual who God blessed them miraculously.
Yes, I am well aware that Deicide made a video with they themselves eating Jesus Christ at a dinner table. And it’s disgusting and sick and warped and fucked. But that is the result of something far more nefarious and that is the corporate and money-making aspect of music, it’s called a gimmick and nobody with an iota of a braincell will believe that bullshit.
Just remember hate is the fuel and ingredient of Satan, so take it all in and enjoy it, because this life here is not your last destination, no there is more to this planet than your “here and now”. The suffering and pain of hell is nothing I want any part of, I would much rather rest assured in the belief of a heaven above. And trust me, I’ve tested the limits of death in more ways than I am comfortable to discuss.
SO, in summary is Living Sacrifice, Meshuggah? or is Stryper, Motley Crue? nobody knows! I can’t for the life of me read minds or understand the nonsense of drawing comparisons nonstop. I’d imagine everyone has to start somewhere, let’s just hope it’s something original and fresh for people to enjoy. This could curtail into something greater than this article, particularly at the distinct comparison of music, but this is something that may be of too much of an effort for even me to figure out. Whatever the case, being a human being and loving your neighbor and…. well dammit there I go again, and this time I am going to start quoting scripture. So, I better stop now.
This is not going to be an easy article; I am not going to try and figure out some solid tried and true pedigree or whatever the fuck. But I just want some peace of mind dammit. So here I am as Clint the man himself and am now deciding and choosing between Ashwagandha and 5-htp for an improved mind and better functioning motherboard, or brain in our case. I’m purely doing this for nothing more than mood and manner, but I do seriously hope to get some positive effect. So, this is day 1, I will update you in about 30 days and we can see for ourselves if this stuff has any weight or benefit.
Its been a grip since my last an initial post regarding this game. I am still very much interested and am playing it semi regularly. The art style is something that I am particularly fond of.
If you’re not in a dungeon you’re at this screen and can do various different things like recruit members to adventure with.
This is what it looks like inside of a dungeon. With the magic ability, “mapper” you can cast open a map of your surroundings. And eventually you can acquire and use a compass, for even more clever navigation.
So, it is my understanding that the game has four different dungeons and after you defeat and conquer them, you will win the game.this is what a fight looks like. My group I recruited all myself
This concludes my “review” and introduction to the game. I did use the help of wikipedia but I linked all external sources. This game arrived to me, at a perfect time, because I’ve been feeling rather stagnant and wanted something that would feel like a completely new experience. I still am working out the game. Particularly how to survive and fight better in dungeons. Also learning money management.
Ok so they think this album is too long, but I think the album presents itself with the necessary pedigree of death metal that must use the allotted time to appropriately express itself. The real shining point of this whole disc is the shredding work of James Murphy. The leads and guitar solos are all done marvelously and capture a lot of mood, atmosphere and melody. You will find this album catchy, and the tunes will get trapped in your head. Brutal guttural vocals and while nothing extraordinary the drumming pummels along this ship perfectly.
Loudblast’s second studio album, Disincarnate, is a classic death metal record that was released in 19911. The album features nine tracks1. The album is a must-listen for fans of the genre. What I find most hilarious is that the title of the album makes me think of none other than the James Murphy band Disincarnate, there are some very distinct and subtle similarities. What I am most impressed about is the leads and guitar work and solos. While nothing groundbreaking or at the level of harmony and technical of Death/Schuldiner it does serve its purpose and does make me want to check out the rest of their discography.
In summary, Disincarnate is a fantastic album that showcases Loudblast’s technical death metal sound at its best. The album is a must-have for fans of the genre and is highly recommended for anyone who loves aggressive, brutal, and nasty death metal.
Let me first just say that my taste in music has changed quite a bit since this last trip, I still am into a little bit of Hardcore, but I furthermore enjoy Metal a lot more. Sorry I have no pictures, I’ll have to ask my sister if she has anything, I was able to find some youtube footage of some choice shows, enjoy.
CORNERSTONE Music Festival
Well, we left on Monday (7/3/00) at around 3:00 PM. The drive there seemed to take forever! But during the drive there me and the other people driving with us found ways to pass time, we wrote a REALLY long Cipher and just talked and acted crazy!
EXTOL
But we finally made it to Cornerstone at around 10:30 PM … but we didn’t actually make it inside till around 11:15 PM! There were literally 100’s of cars in line to get inside of the place, but we got in OK. When we found a decent place to camp, we got all of our junk from the van, and everything was moving smoothly up until we found out that we were missing poles for our large tent, which was going to be the abode for my two friends and me! so we ghetto rigged it and tied rope from both sides of it, and it worked pretty well. That night we met are neighbors, which were a HUGE blessing on us, mainly because we forgot to bring pretty much everything we needed. Anyway, when the night was all done and over, I sat in the tent and talked with Steven and Joe (two friends that came), and we did that for about an hour. That night I couldn’t get to sleep at all! It was horrible. So, I pretty much stayed up all night long.
ZAO
The next morning Tuesday (7/4/00). Steven and I went out to find friends from back in town, and we eventually did. I was pretty surprised, anyway we chilled and talked with them for a little while, and Steve and I then decided to go back to our camp place and get the other people, because there were making plans to go get more food and supplies. So, when they did that me and Joe went out to go watch some concerts for Tooth and Nail Day. The first concert we watched was Luti-Kriss for that one we just watched what we could from outside of the tent, this one was played at Encore 1, and overall, it was pretty good, nothing to get bored over, but nothing to get excited over either. After that we went back to our campsite, to see if anyone got back, and nobody did. So, we just chilled for a little bit and found out that our neighbor that was doing most of the holding up for our tent was leaving so we had to take our tent down and put it all away. For most of the day, Joe and me just went around checking out all of the main attractions, I think I walked 10 miles that day! Well, later on I met up with my sister and her boyfriend, so we checked out some stuff, and did some things in between, like look at the merchandise tents and just looked around some more. While in the merchandise tent we got hit with a huge rain storm, so on our way out we went to go see if anyone was playing so we watched Third Root, wasn’t exactly my favorite but it got us out of the rain, and it was a pretty hardcore show, and the lead singer seemed to be very into God, and throughout the show you could tell from his strong message! But, after that we saw the concert of all concerts Spitfire! This was my second favorite concert of the whole time being there! The lead singer was moving around the stage like mad and just getting the crowd really hyped it was awesome! And I can only pray that the pictures I took were taken, because this was one awesome show! After all we did a whole lot of nothing, but I had a lot to talk about after watching spitfire. That night we configured ourselves me, Steven and Joe slept in the van. That night I slept like a baby!
UNDEROATH
Wednesday (7/5/00) Well, I’m having a hard time recalling what exactly I did from here on out, but if I remember correcting this was when we went to go see hip hop! Well, I’ve kind of turned myself away from hip hop and rap, but I can honestly say this was an awesome display! Probably the biggest attraction was John Ruben (Hope I spelled that right) he got the crowd hyped! It was a small show up of people to begin with, but he was awesome! Anyway, I got to see/hear a couple songs from him, and then I got to watch another hip hopper do a freestyle with a very talented guy by the name of Daedalus Perihelion that was an awesome little show of talent. After that, there were some guys throwing down some stuff, but I was too interested at watching the break dancing at the time! That was awesome, and it honestly made you want to get into it or make a fool out of yourself right then and there. Well, after all that then came up a guy, which might I add made very good friends with my sister’s boyfriend. Anyway, he worked the turntables, and goes by the name of DJ SkillSpins err whatever his name is! Anyway, he did some pretty awesome stuff. As it got later the place got packed with people! I was a bit angry cause of that, but it was pretty straight non-the less. But this was also when my friend Steven got up there and did a freestyle rap right up on the stage! I was amazed that he got up there and did his thing. It was awesome! Well, that pretty much concludes Wednesday.
LIVING SACRIFICE
Next comes Thursday (7/6/00) this day I didn’t really do much. I pretty much hung out with Joe and went swimming all day, as it was extremely hot during the day! Anyway, it was just a relax day. But towards the night, I was completely bummed out, because I missed OVERCOME play!!! I was so angry cause of that! But something so surprising certainly made up for it. It was none other than by far my favorite performance … Zao! This show was so awesome! Man, I cannot tell you how much fun I had at this show. I was literally screaming word for word the lyrics to each song, and moshing with the other crazed fans … it was awesome! and was certainly my most memorable experience at Cornerstone! oh, and I forgot to mention I saw an awesome show from Anguish Unsaid which played right before Zao. They did an awesome performance, and really proclaimed the glory of God, in their performance. And that pretty much summed up that day.
Next brings Friday (7/7/00) this was another hang out day, just chilled at my camp site and talked with the people that came with us, and our neighbors. Later on in the night we made our way towards the main stage. First, I saw Blindside, which was pretty disappointing, but I never really was a die-hard fan to begin with. Next, I saw Living Sacrifice, which was an awesome show! but I couldn’t really enjoy it, because I had a lot of stuff on my mind during the time I was there. (apparently Steve wanted to beat my ass and trtied to get me into the pit to fight him) Anyway, probably the main course for most Cornerstoners was the P.O.D. show! This was awesome. Not that I’m really a huge fan of POD, it still was an awesome show! But something went terribly wrong! yup, two people in the crowd towards the front of the crowd got really hurt and suffered from broken arms and legs (I think). Anyway, during this it was so awesome, and words can’t even explain what went on there, but the lead singer Sonny, just stopped! And kneeled over the crowd at the end of the stage, and just broke out a solid silence. After this, people in the crowd started singing praise and worship … and man did that send Goosebumps up and down my spine. Well, that was pretty much all that went down on Friday. Oh, and not to mention the awesome display of fireworks!
Well, Saturday (5/8/00) was when we all packed up and went home … and although I missed Cornerstone, I was ready to go home. I would suggest ALL believers and non-believers to check out Cornerstone, but if you’re going to go, PLEASE go with a clear positive and open mind. And just to point out, this isn’t squat! as to EVERYTHING that happened at Cornerstone, this was just about everything I could remember. For more information and insight, I suggest you check out the official page over HERE.
It arrived in the mail today issue no. 65 of the Dank Zine. This is a project that I thought was single handedly done by annK alone, but apparently there is a whole staff behind this magazine. And I assure you once you have the issue in your hands you realize this is a professional done magazine. I remember when I was a kid, I made a magazine maybe 12-13 pages all printed at my aunt and uncle house, they hated me because I spent all the ink on this.
This issue features 20+ amazing dank art, Gamer of the year, Baron of Blood, Dead of the brain Fan Translation, Idol Project, Mortal Wombat and much more!
If you’re a frequenter of the webpage Twitch you will recognize a lot of the names included in this issue, especially those in the Retro community.
If you fancy yourself getting an issue for yourself than check out the following…
I am a bit late to the party, but I thought I would include my selection of bands and artists that I choose for the year of 2023.
My top pick for 2023 is none other than Horrendous. You can stop all the guesswork and just come to an agreement that this is the best slice of pie for the 2023 year. Everything else is an honorable selection.
Tomb Mold – The Enduring Spirit
CRUCIAMENTUM – Obsidian Refraction
Judiciary – Flesh+blood
Burial Hordes – Ruins
Dodheimsgard – Black Medium Current
Sacrificium – Oblivion
NOT CANNIBAL CORPSE
NOT INCANTATION
NOT AUTOPSY
Honestly like pulling teeth trying to get into this shit anymore. I suppose I find some reinvigoration with the new Extol tracks and new material from Hope Deferred. But seriously I feel like I am just chewing on the meat from albums of past. I suppose I still cross my fingers for new Dead Congregation and more Embrace of Thorns.
I have uploaded and will continue to provide useful information and tools for those who are interested in learning a different language. For myself I am starting with Ukrainian, and I hope to advance to Japanese. So, take a look around help yourself.
The thing about my life is that my dad split on my mom when I was really young. I was forced into public schools in the 4th grade, after being taught an education. by my mom alone. During that time, my family was a unit, and my mom and dad were together. When my mom and dad divorced, I didn’t know the full extent of what was happening or going on.
Growing up, I suppose I view my oldest brother as the closest thing to a father figure. He was forced to grow up fast. It’s unfortunate that he had such a difficult time, this poured over to me and my other siblings.
Religion, psychology and even myths and fairy tales are things that entertained both my imagination and even my life. But one thing was certain, in life the details are painted with pain, blood, sweat and tears. It’s a miracle my parents and even my brothers and sisters are all still around. One-person of which has survived many close calls, is nobody other than me. I have always had this penchant for death, and for giving up. A bit of a coward but now we are clutching to something really close to home.
I suppose it best now, that I declare and recognize whom I see as the best and most reliable father and that is Christ. The bible and scriptures are historical, and the message is plain and clear that Jesus died and gave His life for humanity that it would live and survive.
Outside of the scriptures I suppose you can see in mythology like the Greek tragedies or in one pivotal and personal portrait with the Grimm’s brother’s fairy tale, “Iron John”. In this story it is about a boy who goes on a bit of a rite of passage with the mysterious and almost dangerous “iron john”. Its parallel’s many different aspects of men and masculinity.
Where I live and survive today is all on account of these various and complex and sordid stories and tales. So, while my own dad wasn’t and is not really much a part of my life, I do owe and pay tribute and respect to all men around the world who go above and beyond for those who are not biologically their own,
Growing up I was always into superheroes and comic books but one that really caught my attention and interest was the Punisher. It is about this guy who had a good life, and it was all taken away from him, from bad people. Well, people that have become so bad and twisted that they would destroy his family and life. So, it is with that idea and premise that we get the Punisher comic book. It Frank Castle, this is the name of the Punisher character and role of the Punisher. Him and his friends if he even has any, I cannot come to think of any names except I do know there is a guy who does help the Punisher I just can’t think of his name yet. So, there you have the basics out of the way, and can now get into the thrill ride of the Punisher and his adventures to solve and wrestle with all kinds of crime and seedy shit that life pours out to us.
I went ahead and bought the favorite issue of the comic, “a game of chicken”, this was the comic that solidified in my opinion of how great the series is. It had all the right moves in it. From the action, and plot delivery – everything got shoved in and out, really well and impactfully.
I am not much aware of how the comic is doing now recently, it’s been a long time since I’ve had the privilege of getting my hands on some comics, to be honest.
Well, there you go, this is my first deep dive and introduction from me to you of what is my favorite superhero, this only next to batman.
You’ve done it, you queued into a game of League of Legends, and you are pinned between 4 other people who may or may not like you. Whatever the case, these people do have an ability to change the outcome of a game. And so, it is with this in mind, do you really want to spend 30 minutes locked into a game that will no doubt leave you with no kind of peace of mind? I seriously do hope Riot will address this and fix the game with the coming new season.
Diminishing returns…..
Something I’ve learned and found out about League of Legends is that regardless of how much time you spend and energy you put into the game, it does not always necessarily benefit or help you. And the game implements features and game mechanics that are used for no other reason than to patronize and aggravate your teammates. Don’t believe me? well than stop using the emoticons and other senseless features provided, that they think is cute and silly.
One thing I prefer about Starcraft and even Dota is that those games are at the very heart and soul a video game and are not concerned about portraying and shoving into your face a bunch of stupid silly shit.
Maybe I am thinking too much into this and should give it a rest. But dammit! I want out of my piss poor elo : /

I will use kofi as my beacon and place of resource where you can send and fund my skills and abilities. Thanks again and happy 2024 to all.
Tryndamere aint queer, he’s straight as a flake.! this guy has devastating damage and critical hits! now, but seriously, why am I not getting good damage numbers? this game is silly.
Twitch is a wonderful place, it’s an amazing experience where people can broadcast themselves. But in the better decline of modern civilization many people take offense or blame at the expense of nobody but who else, other than yourself. Now don’t get me wrong, I am very easy and capable of pushing buttons, but please with all respect get off your high horse if you think that twitch allows you or enables you to be anything but your ordinary self on a streaming platform. I say this all with the disgust that you can now ban or forcefully eliminate certain users and IP addresses from watching and benefitting from your stream.
Listen if you want to put yourself out there on the stream and have people watch and communicate with you, you can’t pick and choose who gets to, that is your problem that you broadcast yourself for the world to see. I hope this post doesn’t fly over your head or you don’t understand what I am talking about. Because I think I made myself perfectly clear in fine detail.
Please for the love of cheese and chocolate will you people STOP banning me on TWITCH!!!!
I am certainly convinced that shining force is the supreme strategy, but now I am seeing even deeper layers of games I had no idea. This is something I want to look and try.
Today gamers I have in my hands a brand-new Sega Saturn USB controller. It’s a very solid and sturdy piece of plastic. This controller is great! I love it. And it’s nice to finally have it in my hands, so I can better combat and defeat all these nasty video games…. no? I don’t think they are nasty at all…. they are great and I am glad to have them in my life.
So, saddle up buttercup because this guy has got a new ride and it’s on the Sega Saturn control pad, that is used on your PC via USB!
This to me is the game that epitomized the series for me. I was thrilled to find out that it both shared in exploration of a castle, and side scrolling platforming, but you also have the advantage of rpg elements to get your character better stats and buffs. Sadly, I can’t say I have much of a history with the series except for bloodlines on the genesis. I think honestly, this and bloodlines is my basic staple of the series. Yes, maybe one day I will enjoy the original nes classics, but as for now this is what it is.
Fan developers and persons who go out of their way to make and contribute to a community is a beautiful thing. And a beacon of hope for the foundation and contribution these said individuals are. No, I won’t kiss any more assess, but seriously with all due respect give these fine folks a piece of your mind or maybe even drop a dime in their direction.
Furthermore, there is a phttps://www.youtube.com/@PigsysRetroGameDevTutorialserson ?! sorry my coding is not up to snuff. This is really incredible and uplifting. So please if you have a moment of your time, take a look around and see what the evolution of gaming is becoming.
I know it’s nothing of importance coming from me, but I thought I would allow and let people know that there are individuals working hard behind the scenes that develop and program both game and hardware projects. It’s really encouraging and thrilling thinking about this effort. With all said, I want to put focus and attention on Castlevania Known in Japan as Akumajō Dracula X: Gekka no Yasōkyoku (悪魔城ドラキュラX 月下の夜想曲, Akumajō Dorakyura Ekkusu: Gekka no Yasōkyoku, Demon Castle Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight)
