Final Fantasy VII :: Advent Children
It's been 2 years since I first heard of it and now it's finally out. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of it. To this very day, FF7 remains as the one game that once vindicated my life, really. I remember when I used to wake up in the middle of the night just to play it because I can't wait to know what happens next. The plot is that good. Thanks to FF7, every other installment of the Final Fantasy series felt like a disappointment with FF8 being the worst of the lot. FF8 sucks so much it can't possibly suck more. It's one of the many shitty games I've played that I chose not to complete for various reasons and FF8 pretty much scored zeros points in every aspect of the game other than the graphics, FMVs and the music. The plot is draggy and full of shit. I hate walking, whethere in game or in real life, so making me walk around aimlessly really really pisses me off.
While we're at shitty products, I can't help but bring up the iPods. Every iPod comes bundled with a flaw, a cantankerous abomination of bad skinning, fucked up programming, resource management and a monopoly of some kind. It's called iTunes. I should probably have written this before my previous entry comparing iTunes by Apple and a freeware music player plugin that works a million times better.
And apparently Creative won the US patent for the tree-style navigation user interface used in many current MP3 players such as the iPod over Apple. Called the Zen Patent, after their latest armada of MP3 players, it was first used in the Nomad Jukebox, sounding very old school already, back in 2000 before the release of the iPod. Oh well, tough luck for Apple.
I personally prefer the iPod simply because it looks better and is easier to use. I've always had this belief that instead of working on and improving their existing products, Creative comes up with new products of similar functions to saturate the market so most of their shitty products remain shitty. And seriously what the fuck is with the name Zen?! I can almost picture the ad on TV with bearded white-haired chinese dude dressed in ancient clothes holding the Zen touch in his hands saying Russell Peters style "Confucius say, use the Zen touch to get in touch with zen!" Although Zen is a buddhist teaching but that's really besides the point.
