Carg's Stupid Tale of Twitter

EDIT: My twitter got unlocked, so most of the stuff on this article is kind of invalid. I'm going to keep it up, just because the story is funny. I do now I post on it and stuff, so you can get to it here.

"Yknow, I feel like I don't post enough here. I mean, I know I made like 4 posts back to back recently, but that was for school! What if there was a way to post stupid things and shitpost in a really short, quick, and frequent manner as well as update people on my dumb life?"

These were the thoughts that inspired me to try and get a twitter. The keyword here is "try". I've been thinking about getting a twitter recently, since I do like to read through twitters of various YouTubers and cartoon creators to see what they're up to, like Alex Hirsh, the Creator of the now concluded TV Show "Gravity Falls" rip in peace. Just reading about dumb stuff these people do in their spare time amuses me. Maybe I'm just a Nosy Nelly or something. I thought there must be other Nosy Nelly's out there who'd want to read about what I do in my life, so hey, I might as well make a Twitter? I usually despise social media, but hey, let's make an exception!

So, I went and made a twitter! You can visit the twitter here. You may notice that there's only 1 post. 1 singular post, featuring a dumb reference to that awful game, Bubsy. "Why don't you make more posts, Mr. Carg? I wanna stalk your every move and know what you're doing in your day to day life, since I don't have one of my own!" Don't worry, I know how you feel. Let's discuss the reason why there's only one post, shall we?

After making that glorious singular post, I went to watch one of my favorite movies, Castle In The Sky, with my family. (They all fell asleep while watching the movie. I don't think they liked it very much.)  After the movie was done, I went upstairs to go make my glorious second twitter post, only to be told I was locked out of my account. My first reaction was:

Why did I get locked out of my account? Did I rustle someone's jimmies by posting about Bubsy Bobcat? Was it the link to my blog, which was on another site? Was 17 not old enough to have a twitter? That can't be the case, unless everyone in my school lied about their age. But then the second part happened.

And then my reaction was more

Why did I need a phone to unlock my account? I guess that makes sense, it could confirm it's me and not some random person who broke into my 1 hour old account, but here's the problem. I don't own a phone. I'm basically locked out of my stupid account until I buy a device I would never use, aside from playing Downwell on the go. That doesn't seem worth a monthly payment of 40$ or however much a phone bill is. I tried emailing them about it, but all I got was an automated email telling me how to connect my phone. "Well, whatever, I guess I won't be posting on twitter anytime soon. At least it's over with!" I thought to myself. I was wrong.

I go to look at my emails, and what do I find? Emails from Twitter! That's right, even though I can't access my account, and twitter support didn't do crap to help me, they're still sending me emails about people I should follow, and if I "know how to tweet". I can't even turn them off in my Twitter's setting, since twitter locked me out of my account. Thanks, Twitter! I could of course block the email address, but that would just send them to my junk mail, it wouldn't stop the messages from being sent.

Maybe I'll solve this eventually, but for now, I just felt like aimlessly ranting about this platform and my struggles with it. Perhaps, one day, the Carg Twitter will be unlocked, and I'll be able to post about dumb things for all of your viewing pleasure. Wait, what's this on the "report" Page? A new option? Let's see here...

Yknow, maybe being locked out of this site wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

Guess what crappy blog just reached 1000 views? This one! Isn't that something? It is indeed. How will we celebrate this occasion, you ask? Why, by ending a running joke that was never funny! That's right, guess who got Marvel Vs. Capcom 3? This guy! Time to celebrate!

I managed to find myself a copy of Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 at my local family video for 10$. Family Video sells all of their old rentals for 10$ each, which meant I could get the game in all of it's glory. I got the PS3 version of the game, however, I don't actually own a PS3. Talk about putting the carriage before the horse, eh? Until I get PS3, it's just going to be sitting on my shelf, next to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle. I think I'm going to be building up a collection of games I can't play. Thankfully, all is not lost; My cousin has a PS3! Until I get one of my own, I've been playing the game on there during the weekends. I also managed to learn that my Fightstick works on the PS3. I'm relieved, now I won't need to spend an extra 60$ to buy a PCB that works on PS3. It doesn't work on the 360 though as far as I believe, I guess that's just more reason not to get one. Now, onto the review!

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 is basically everything I thought it was, a 4 button fighter with Marvel and Capcom characters. The combos are insane, X-Factor is overpowered, and there is button mashing. It's quite the fighting game, if I do say so myself. I don't have much I can really say, aside from it's really fun, but has a pretty steep learning curves for people who suck at it, like me.

I feel like I've been playing too much Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 recently, I've built a bit of a muscle memory for that game. It's kind of hard to get into playing the third one, I keep accidentally trying to do Marvel 2 combos, but hey, I'm enjoying myself, but I do have a few problems, but most of them are very minor. For example, one of my favorite characters from the last game, Tron Bonne, feels a lot weaker this time around. I'm also not too fond of the cut characters in the game. Most people were upset that MegaMan isn't in the game, but I myself am more upset that Gambit isn't in this one. He was my favorite character...

I'm really upset about some of the cut characters, a lot of the more unique characters are gone for more popular characters. But hey, you win some, you lose some. Either way, we got Zero! Screw MegaMan, we got Zero! And the dog from Okami! The one with the name I don't feel like trying to spell! Oh yeah, and Modok. Not sure what he's doing here. Oh, and Deadpool. Can't forget Deadpool. He has a Hyper Combo move where he takes the Hyper bar and beats your opponent with it, what's not to love?

Anyways, that's all for now. At long last, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 has been posted about. I finally have it in my hands! Now it's time to move on to better things...

...Such as Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3! This is the best version of the game, it has more characters, like Hawkeye, and Phoenix Wright! Wow! Isn't that great? I can't wait to get it!

Is Sonic Adventure a Good Game?

Man, I really suck at Marvel VS. Capcom 2. It's pretty dang hard to get combos going, the game is unbalanced to hell, plus there's no Zero. At least Gambit is in that game, Gambit is awesome. Oh yeah, and Servbot, those guys are adorable, too bad he's total garbage in that game. Wait, I'm supposed to talking Sonic Adventure! Oops.

There was a point in grade school where I was completely obsessed with Sonic The Hedgehog, While it's super cringeworthy looking back on it, it really was a really fun back when I was 10. One of my favorite Sonic games was Sonic Adventure DX on the Gamecube. Recently, Sonic Adventure has gotten quite a negative reputation as aging really poorly, being a buggy mess, and even just being an overall bad game. The game was recently on sale on Steam, so I figured I'd buy it and see how I feel about it. Does it still hold up? Is it a good game? Continue reading to find out!

Accurate Image of Sonic Adventure

Frankly, after replaying most of the game, I think it has aged about as well as leaving a ham sandwich outside since 1999, or 1998 if you live in Japan. The sandwich is old and gross, and it probably tasted a lot better when it was first made. However, even though that sandwich is old, there's still a bit of flavor and goodness hidden deep inside the sandwich that some sick person could still get some enjoyment out of it. That's me. I'm the sick person. I think Sonic Adventure is fun. I ate the 17 year old sandwich.What have I done?

Now, in order to justify my enjoyment of the game, I must state my reasons! That's how the whole debate thing works, right? The game is old, broken, buggy and all that stuff, but I think that may be one of the reasons I like playing it so much. It has a good balance of "so bad it's good" and actual good features. I myself just have a good time making fun of the game, I love spindashing and building up infinite speed, running into something and watching the camera give itself a seizure, glitching into the floor and falling out of the world, and of course, Big the Cat jokes never get old. Those never fail to make me laugh.

Quality lip syncing right here

By far one of my favorite parts of the game it's atrocious voice acting. I swear, I quote some of these lines without even realizing it sometimes. The delivery and horrible writing really makes these some of the most memorable voice acting in any video game. I can't even understand how someone could act this horribly, even my sub-par acting is better than this. It's truly a joy to watch such disastrous performances. However, my personal favorite part of the voice acting is the lip syncing. I've seen bad lip syncing, but nothing, nothing compares to this. Their faces stretch and wiggle around, they don't even remotely match the lines being delivered. I can't even explain it properly, it has to be seen to be believed.

Frankly, I know the game isn't very good, but I can't help myself from having a blast when I play it. Maybe you agree with me, maybe you think the game is a steaming pile of poop, but either way, we can all agree that the lip syncing is amazing.
