I think I pissed someone of...

Sega Slayer

Really though, did I not see this coming?

This guy seems a little constipated. Yo, SegaSucks Guy, cool down...

The Bradshaw Writes Back...

"Mario merging the mushroom kingdom with brooklyn, taking down Princess toadstool, to make Pauline Queen of Earth!"

DAMN RIGHT!!

First off, I'm having fun with the Nintendo universe. I find that Mario seemed so good willed that had to think of something different. Perhaps a side of Mario that we haven't seen.

And my name ISN'T Georgia Loukas. I accidently used my mother's E-mail. My Email is the following... The_Real_Bradshaw@yahoo.com

Yes I read your responce, and you make so pretty bold caims about me. You shouldn't make me repersent the entire view of Canada. Because believe me, we'd all be in big troulbe.

Here read this one... it's funny.

"Oh, its so sad. I'm such a loser because I took the time to make an interesting an original website to inform people about unsound business practices in the video game industry. And you are clearly such a winner with the time you spent typing up wild conspiracy theories about how Mario is going to conquer Brooklin and somehow overthrow the goverment. I bow to your superior Canadian intellect!"

I think you use the term "interesting" very loosly. I understand that you make rants about "Unsound" business practices in the video game industry", but why target Sega? Why not Microsoft? Or even Nintendo? Like mine, It's not like your Goverment is so "Fair" when it comes to people's money, so why don't you make a website like that and leave the gaming to the gamers. Oh yes, and I'm not actually believing in this "Mario Conspiracy" you gullible idiot. I write it for fun if you haven't caught on. I turn my back and bow to your American Stupidity.


He also wrote this...

"and now its time for the real stereotype: the Canadian Dumbass. This guy thought he was so smart when he made this rant about my site but by calling me a fag, making wild assumptions about my political views and throwing lame insults like "his mother left him for a sega" he only serves to prove how uninformed and pathetic he really is. I would also like to know where this second website of mine is, because this is the only Sega-realted website I've worked on in the past five years. Its also funny how he thinks I don't own a gaming "system" to play games on. You know, the PC obviously doesn't count even though I play games on it every day (and games that are no doubt more advanced than the ancient SNES games this guy is obssesed with)."

Okay man, your not a Fag, your a very American manly man. Don't cry it's ok. Instead of commenting on my insults why don't answer the question. Why do think Sega is worth your time? If you can't stand them so much, don't waste your time on them. Help clean the internet and get your site off. It can't serve it's purpose, get it off. I was wrong in saying that you have two sites of this garbage, but you do have two domain names, Segasucks.com and Segasucks.net. And I was right in saying you don't have a gaming system. No, the PC's sole purpose IS NOT FOR games. Yeah, the PCs are so good when it comes to gaming that they have no good exclusive games nowadays. and yes, My Super Nintendo can kick the shit out of your PC. You may have quality when it comes to graphics but the real purpose of a game is to have fun with it (which Super Nintendo games are SO much better at). People who think otherwise are retar-oh wait.


Here's the E-mail he tried to send me, which actually went to my mother...

Dear Canada,

Its kind of funny how you read the warning on my entry page and assumed you understood what the whole website was about from that. Its also kind of funny how most of your comments revolve around throwing totally unfounded insults and using the word "fag" allot. I guess well thought out remarks and factual information aren't currently in style in Canada? That would tend to explain allot.

From a nice warm beach in America,
Sega Slayer

I'm not totally after your site... well maybe I am. but your attitude is a piece of shit. You don't seem understand the whole concept of the way any industry works. Your just another American shooting his mouth off like he knows it all. And back the hell off Canada, it's not our people in Irac being killed for a meaningless purpose. You seem to discredit the information in Canada. Though you live in country that won't give clear reasoning for any of thier actions. No wait, they have one... what was it... Freedom. Good Lord... Keep in mind that the swastika also meant freedom at one time.

Freezing my butt off in Canada.

It's about time: Introducing the Nintendo DS Lite

Must I say more. Of course I do.

This is amazing and may be the first system I ever import. So what ARE the new features of this handheld? The answer... NOTHING.

That's right except for the bightness and wieght of the system, nothing has changed. And that's perfectly fine because there wasn't much wrong with the original DS BESIDES Lighting and Wieght. It's a lighter system and has a lighter screen thus being named the Nintendo DS "Lite".

It's obvious to see that the DS was inspired by the Revolution, with it's buttons and all. Speaking of buttons, I pray that this thing doesn't have the "click buttons".

This is a perfect follow up to my last entry (not the one of Kate, the one before that.) Just another reason why the DS owns.

Information Beyond Gaming

I regret to inform you of a slow down of updates... well, rants.



The reason being that my girlfriend broke up with me.

I may post time to time but I need to reconstruct myself. It's hard to think about Nintendo at a time like this...

Kate, I'm gonna miss you.

10 Reasons why Nintendo DS is the Best System Ever!

It's hard, but it has to get done. Here is another entry.

I have over 35 of the Nintendo GameCube's best games. And all it took for me to ignore them all were three games on Nintendo DS (Meteos, Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing: Wild World). And I thought while glancing at my GameCube and my invisible PS2, 'These are consoles, GAME CONSOLES!! Why the heck is the little machine beating the crap out of these!'

The Reasons why Nintendo DS owns...

10: Virtual Surround Sound

How do you have Suround sound with two speakers, simple- you don't. It 's emulated but does a good job at it. Play Super Mario 64 DS and hear the chirps of the birds in back of you.

9: Connectivity to the Revolution

Virtual Console plus Portibility equal endless possibilities. Imagine downloading Chrono Trigger from your Nintendo Revolution to your Nintendo DS and playing it on the go. Or through the Revolution Wi-Fi, downloading demo from E3 on your DS!

8: Wireless Multiplayer

God knows hows many DS owners and non-DS owners I've convince with this feature. All it takes is a single pak multiplayer match in Mario Kart DS and they get the picture.

7: Long Battery life

The DS on one charge can go for at the very least 6 hours VS the PSP's 2 hours.

6: All the Game Boy Advance titles are playable

There are so many titles for the GameBoy Advance. And a lot of them are some of the best games made since the Super Nintendo, or ARE Super Nintendo games for that matter. Not to mention, the continued suport with games like Tales of Phantasia and Final Fantasy.

5: Inovation

The touch screen, the Mic, the two screens has brought some of the most freshest ideas ever. Just to think games like meteos and Nintendogs wouldn't be around without the DS makes me proud of Nintendo's new direction. I don't think I could ever get use to typing with out the touch screen after Animal Crossing.

4: Comparing it to the PSP

I remember 1 year ago when the DS came out and it only had one game (Super Mario 64 DS). While the PSP had a lot. The PSP owner would laugh at us showing us the near PS2-like graphic with near Shit games. Now it's our turn to rise. With Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Castlevania, Advanced Wars, Nintendogs, and Meteos Nintendo can put Sony in there place.

3: Square Enix Support

I believe that everyone was excited to hear that Square-Enix was going to support Nintendo DS VS PSP. Well, accept for PSP fanboys.

To your right you will see the biggest burn to Sony in ages...




2: Exclusives!!

There are so many Exclusive games coming out for this thing, Not to Mention Tales of the Tempest for my sister's sake. The DS set the trendsetters apart from the followers *coughPSPcough*.

To your right you will see exclusive Tales of The Tempest screens...

1: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

But by far the best move Nintendo DS made was easily Nintendo WiFi Connection. Never have I played Mario Kart for so long. Games like this are just beginning, They're also coming out with some other stuff too, like Metroid. But the one game that will rule the online space this March 20th won't be Metroid, Smash Bros or Zelda. It will be Tetris.
Yes, that's right, Tetris DS is coming to the DS ONLINE... with a Mario candy coating but I'm sure you can still pick from the old Russian look.

Below you can see this 10 player madness.






















Well, that just about wraps it up. Keep these reasons in mind. Also say the reason if you ever feel the need to convince a PS fan.

Tales of Kratos and Raine

I've trying to do some research about the relationship between Kratos and Raine, if there was any to begin with.

But it would seeem that a topic that involves Tales of Symphonia and Kratos screams my sister's name... (Which is named "HolySong" on the boards)

So this Nintendo Update entry is written by her for her people AND WITH GOOD GRAMMAR?

Thoughts on KratosxRaine

These are my opinions and thoughts on KratosxRaine. Disproving KratosxRaine, might I add. Don't like them? Don't read them, then. However, even if you don't like my side of things, I ask you to at least consider my arguments and what I have written. You are not obligated to change your opinion upon reading this.

Throughout Tales of Symphonia fanfictions, I’ve seen a large population of KratosxRaine stories. This shocks me, since the majority of these writers know that Kratos is Lloyd’s father, and that he had a relationship with Anna. KratosxRaine, in my opinion, almost seems like an excuse to put Kratos in a pairing with someone alive. The pairing is plausible if you don’t know that Kratos loved Anna, but once you know all the truths about his character, it doesn’t seem possible that Kratos would have any feelings for Raine.

KratosxRaine could be considered a fan pairing- a pairing in which fans place two characters together without any solid proof of a relationship in the game they came from. By ‘solid proof’, I’m not talking about two characters simply being friends or a character choosing to associate with a certain character over the others. I’m talking about things that characters do that actually show proof of a possible romantic relationship, such as Sheena showing that she has a crush on Lloyd through her nervousness and blushing. Pairings like YuanxMartel, RegalxAlicia and KratosxAnna really have no argument disproving them, because the story clearly states that these relationships happened. KratosxRaine is a fan pairing because neither Kratos nor Raine show any romantic feelings towards one another. The most either did to one another was talk. KratosxRaine fans may argue that Raine may have been showing mild feelings towards Kratos, because she chooses to talk to him over other party members, but consider who were those other party members. She really had no one else she could talk maturely to. Lloyd has not yet matured and is rather impatient, Colette in a sense still has the mind of a child because of her isolation, and Genis is a child, intelligent, but not yet as wise as Raine. That really is no basis for an argument. If you use it, you’re basically saying that any two adults who talk to each other, because they choose to speak to another adult over a person younger than them, are in love. If you considered the extremities, the most the relationship could be would be one-sided. It might be possible, for Raine to have some feelings towards Kratos, but I really don’t believe that Kratos would return it. Besides, after he “betrays” Lloyd’s party, she expresses some anger and disbelief at him. After that, she really does not show any further feelings, positive or negative, towards Kratos. I don’t believe that she even interacts with him in any way following his betrayal. Unfortunately, many people think that this is good enough to go crazy over KratosxRaine, which I honestly think has so little basis that it puzzles me.

In addition, do you think Kratos is the type to fall in
love spontaneously? It’s hard to imagine how he fell in love with Anna, so how could he do so with a random woman he hardly talked with? Not to mention this is after the death of a woman he cared about intensely AND probably the only woman who could make him feel love. Maybe it’s just me, as a Kratos obsesser, but I don’t see how he could overcome that sadness at Anna’s death to love someone else. To me, it seems like he gave up on love after she died. He even tells Lloyd that “life felt meaningless” to him following the loss of his family. It shows just how devastated he was.

On the other side of the coin, I don’t think Raine would be interested in a relationship either. It doesn’t seem like Raine is interested in that type of thing; she never displays any of that kind of emotion, and her main focus is on archaeology and learning new things. I don’t think she cares, period. Also, about her level of maturity and wisdom- to me, I don’t think hers matches up to Kratos’. I don’t dispute the fact that she is mature, but I get the feeling, a gut feeling of sorts, that tells me that Kratos’ is so much more advanced than Raine’s. I suppose this shows best when Raine goes into ‘Ruin Mode’. In addition, Raine has a tendency to put others down. This is not likely something Kratos would approve of, especially if he saw how she treated his beloved son in that manner.

Furthermore, Raine doesn’t even trust Kratos when he’s in the party. She interrogates him about his strangely wide knowledge of Summon Spirits, and she questions him about why he came along on the journey. After he betrays them, she says that she felt something strange about him. Probably out of all the party members at that time, she distrusted him the most. How could this become love? Yes, she does appear sad following his betrayal, but that sadness is disappointment at herself. She was angry that she couldn’t foresee Kratos’ betrayal, even though she suspected it, and warn the others of it beforehand. If she truly were sad because Kratos left, I would have expected her to at least talk to him, if not become happy, when/if he returns to the party. Furthermore, look at Raine throughout the course of the game. You can see her time and time again telling Lloyd to not trust something so readily. Don’t you think she feels the same about Kratos? She’s wary of that, extremely wary, and she displays that several times throughout the story. For her, I believe it’s ‘once a traitor, always a traitor’.

Some fans may tell Kratos

to “get over it” and put him in a relationship he wouldn’t ever be in. But the thing is, he doesn’t get over it. He can remain single for the rest of his life, for your information—it’s not a big deal. Some fans seem to think that one cannot remain single or even be single, which I find kind of…illogical. If you think Kratos needs love, he has it in his son, and that’s good enough for him. Throughout the game you can see him act nobly, almost in a knight-like way. Somehow, with the amount of love he felt for Anna, I feel that he would think he was betraying Anna if he went off with someone else. Kratos can’t get over it. He simply does not get over things easily, and that is a fact. If there’s one word that describes Kratos, it’s ‘devoted’. He was devoted to his wife; he is devoted to his son now that he has found him again. To send him off with Raine twists his personality and takes away many of the characteristics that fans admire in him. One of the things that appeal to me about Kratos is his undying loyalty and devotion, and by putting him with Raine, kills that entirely.

Also, do you think Lloyd would condone such a thing? Lloyd clearly loves his mother, even though she is dead, and do you think that he would be happy if his father suddenly turned on her and fell in love with Raine? If your father suddenly fell in love with your teacher, I think you’d feel a little awkward too. Lloyd would most likely be upset that Kratos turned on Anna and fell in love with Raine, and being Lloyd, he would voice his opinion, and then what would Kratos do? Ignore his son? Somehow, I don’t think so. Lloyd is the only person Kratos places his love in after Anna’s death, and he obviously would not ignore Lloyd’s plight. Furthermore, Kratos is the kind of character to think about his decisions carefully before taking action. I doubt it would even get to the point that Lloyd would have to speak up, because Kratos would think about a possible relationship with Raine, think about Lloyd, and then forget about it. Why? Because that’s Kratos.

The last reason is kind of strange, but I’ll throw it in anyway. Think about Lloyd and Genis’ situation if Kratos and Raine got married. Genis would become Lloyd’s step-uncle. Genis is five years younger than Lloyd. In my opinion, that kind of thing seems too weird, even in a video game, a field where developers usually strive for originality. I doubt the developers would have had something THAT strange possible within the story. I think it’s just too weird to be considered.

Another point I have to say, and it doesn’t relate specifically to KratosxRaine. In fact, it goes out to all Kratosxperson other than Anna pairings. Anna is dead. So what? He still loves her, he still cares for her, and if there’s one thing he’s not going to do, it’s get over her. Think about it. For 4,000 years he lived up there with Mithos, basically a puppet in his hands. Apathetic for 4,000 years, and then he finds Anna, who teaches him love, teaches him happiness, and brings the only real joy and warmth he’s ever felt. Then he loses her. He gets devastated over the loss, and that’s when he becomes depressed and angsty, as far as to suggest wanting death. Then, according to fans, he goes and falls in love with a woman he hardly ever interacted with. Does this make sense? He goes through all his pain, his depression, even his suicidal feelings, and suddenly falls in love with this other woman? He still cares about Anna, even though she is dead. He gets infuriated when Kvar insults her, and stabs him mercilessly, something that might uncover his true identity. I think at that point, he was so angry he didn’t care. Now, do you really think Kratos is a person to burst into random fits of anger? I don’t think so. Anna must have been very special, so special as to induce

that anger in Kratos when Kvar insulted her. In addition, sometimes I see people support KratosxRaine without even recognizing that Kratos cared so much about Anna. Now that is ignorant if anything. . What I find ironic, however, is how some fans state that Kratos cares about Anna in their story, and yet they also portray him as a besotted schoolboy-like character lusting after Raine and not even feeling any remorse at leaving his life’s love behind.

To sum things up, these are my opinions o n KratosxRaine, the Kratos pairing most commonly seen in fan fictions. I am not saying you have to change your opinion on the pairing following this rant, but what I’m trying to say is that the pairing does not stay true to the characters. By placing them together, you alter their personalities, especially Kratos’.










The Bradshaw:

Well, there you have it, may be longer then my whole blog but whatever...

A Mario Conspiracy 2

Unfortunatly, I didn't convince the world yet of Mario's secret plans and I need another killer app for the new year so here is more of the gigantic Mario conspiracy.

After the whole Pauline situation, Mario began causing trouble in very next game. He captured Donkey Kong in a cage, and made Donkey Kong Jr alone, forcing him to go over dangerous obsicles while Mario him self throughs "Klap Traps" at the poor young ape. Mario was trying to stop a son being with his father by killing the son. Ladys and gentlemen, if that's not proof enough I don't know what is?

The question is, how did Donkey Kong Jr show himself in Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo and in Mario Tennis on the Nintendo 64 if mario wants complete dominance? The better question is, why is Donkey Kong JR NOT in Mario power Tennis for the GameCube or Mario Kart for the Nintendo DS? Simple, Mario knows that Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong JR, and Pauline are the only ones who know of his evil doings. He left Pauline and killed off Donkey Kong JR.

But what about Donkey Kong, he still alive right?

WRONG!

There are two Donkey Kongs, DK and Donkey Kong. DK is just a tool for Mario to distract from the actual events that took place 1981. That's why Donkey Kong PLATFORMS and plays BONGOS making ZERO refrence to his past. Still don't believe me? Take a look at the screens below and you tell me if they're the same ape.




By now Mario has taken controll of almost everything, Tennis, Golf, Soccer, Dance, boxing, Pac-man, Basket Ball, RPGs, the lands and the skies. So the biggest question is, what's Mario going to do next? And that's something even the twisted minds of Nintendo can't imagine.

The next Maro game is called Super Mario 128 this game has been in development for over 8 years and first shown as the engine for Pikmin running on GameCube hardware. The screenshot showed 128 Marios picking up cubes to make a mario picture.

What does this all mean? Is this some kind of twisted sign of of the Nintendo GameCube being the Mario owned system? Where tons of games would incude Mario in some twisted fasion?

Perhaps is was...

This was our warning and we didn't listen. Now look what happened, look how many Mario themed games are on Nintendo GameCube!

The highest sources at Nintendo know that this Mario game will the biggest Mario Game yet.

Keep you're eyes open at the next E3. If they show anything including Mario, Keep a close eye.

IT MAY LOOK LIKE THIS...

"Mario merging the mushroom kingdom with brooklyn, taking down Princess toadstool, to make Pauline Queen of Earth."


Could it be that Mario AND Pauline were in on the whole idea?

Was Pauline the one behind the whole plan? Perhaps Mario didn't leave Pauline, he was serving her.

Looks like "A Pauline Conspiracy".

To be continued...
