THE TIMES SHOULD NOT BE A CHANGING

I am having trouble getting into a ... webpage I work with a lot.

Now because of Google...and an email company which might be also to do with Google I have now lost access to this website via a web client or Android App as I took it off my tablet PC because it needs to be fixed! Android and the screen playing up.

Because I had to wipe everything I then had to go back into my page where I do a lot of work...only it would not let me in stating I had typed the wrong password, though I DID?! thinking this had been hacked I then requested a new password, went through all the rigmarole, remember just to get back onto the page I work on, only to then be told yet again for the umpteenth time I had typed the wrong password?!

So I did it again and I sent off the first in a series of messages to the company...still it refused to log me in and I got more frustrated and then...BOOM! Yet another effing company that uses the utterly rude and totally arrogant 'no reply' emails that do not even bother telling you not to reply...until you have sent them three messages!

Fuck me! So many idiots in the world have jumped onto something to make cash without actually brushing up on their skills!!

But then we DO live in a world now where you supposed to give fecking BLOOD...ahem sorry your expected to work for free for umpteen months before they take you on...IF they take you on. Which is so good to do because during that time while your workling for free for some rich twat who does not know his arse from his elbow all the stuff you need to live or simply survive made by companies owned by all the other rich twats...well they let you all have it for free so everythings cool! What? They don't?! What do you mean they DON'T?! So wait, you starve to death working your fingers to the bone while they just siot their getting fatter and fatter and their only...or lets be honest then, MAIN source of entertainment is seeing how many poor people they can make squirm or dance at once?!

Blimey, almost sounds like a middle eastern dictator?! Except they are abit thick and make what they do so obvious to everyone that they cannot deny it. They do though...repeatedly...like parrots, thinking if they say it enough times it will sink in and become accepted?! Oh now wait? That rather sounds like British politicians?!

LMAO!

Anyhoo, joking and dark sarcasm aside...here are the emails for you to read. I am a weeeee bit angry here. But then they are German....I mean arrogant. Hmm I think they are German?!


LOL!

Oh and I cannto tell you who this company is, convenmiently for them if they make themselves look like dicks. Because this is an email I use for things...to do with my...snooping and spying malarkey! I have for awhile but all of a sudden its a major problem!

The first email you read was after I realised that my emails had not gone through that was several hours ago! thank God we do not have to rely on these yet for emergencies but everyone talks about how everytyhing is going to be linked and digitised...so pull your effing fingers out!!

It has always amazed me how people are happy to serve shit to the people! Here Sir, here is some shit...smile and enjoy it cos its all your going to get! Oooh wait?! Someone across the street is serving shit with garnish on it?! We will have to serve shit with two lots of garnish on it!

That is what runs through my head when I see something done half hearted and left like that!

I got into a row with UBI Software because everything about them was obviously directed at kids, even the avatars on their Gaming Software. I also complained about the way they store 'saved games'. It is totally shit in all honesty and amateurish and I for one would not have my own name attached to it or anything about them through embarrassment.

I also asked them for the governing body for complaints...they never answered me. Despite asking them four times and when I did state my anger at how they were obviously targeting children for a cash flow by misleading them and cheating them they rtewarded me by banning my account for two months! LMAO!

Jesus, what will I do until February the 18th 2015?! Oh, wait? It is the 5th March 2015 and I have not even been on that game! Huh, come to think of it it is not even installed!

Plus through reinstalling everything a lot earlier than expected thanks to some very, VERY nasty Chinese malware and snoop ware from the site of none other than HTC I lost my saved games for my copy of Splinter Cell Blacklist!! Want to know just how crap they are at doing things?!

Well my software, Uplay, tells me I have progressed so far through the Blacklist game and yet when I run the game I am at the beginning?! Go to their website for help and they ask you stupid questions like 'Have you switched it off and on again?!' Morons. Again with the arrogance! Its 'Oh we are so special and God like...we cannot do any wrong so must be you and here are the common things layman idiots do!' LOL!

Now maybe other gamers and the like have not noticed this or bothered about it but I am sorry but your too young and your failing to look into it deeper and seeing the truth...

Today it is all about updates and shit, most of which you cannot even see or notice the difference other than the ones where they released a broken game. Did you know this NEVER used to happen?! Did you know that not only did they NOT release broken games but were simply not able to?!

No because if your a fanboy cursing at my own cursing your an arrogant fool! They are using you and m,aking a fool of you, with statements like this always happens and you need to accept it, is complete bullshit...

Video games WERE being sold long before broadband Internet and even BEFORE the Internet you know! Release a broken game then and you were out of business!

Today they release a broken and shite game and at the very best they attempt to then fix a few things and then not bother while running to their banks with your money. At worst they simply do not bother at all!

Fanboys all seem to be blind in one aspect. The facts when it does not sit well with their vision of things and this is because this is gaming we are talking about here. It os one of the most intense of all feelings if not the most intense? I do not mean just humans either and thats the bit that drives the blind fanboys that allow these wankers to walk all over us while taking money they mostly had no right to.

Now there simply should be something in place to complain about these companies and someone should put some rules into practise. Everyone else has to abide by rules that are never ever enforced so why shouldn't they?! LMAO!

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist is a great game...or would be one of the greatest on PC had they not been lazy about it and wanting double their money for no extra work while those hadning them the money are taken the piss out of!

When I was gaming previously a few years back things were very different to what they are today and I simply cannot believe half the things I have seen! Even worse is the fact that these are hardly mentioned at all in the media...

Though oddly I have noticed not one but TWO articles relating to things I complained about on my computing blog...ooh you didn't know about my computing blog? Or my Astronomy blog? Yeah that one been neglected I admit, but not for much longer. How about my Music blog? Film blog? Wildife blog? Reptiles, Amphibians and Fish blog? Hehe there are a few others too but I do cover problems in different industries...only to then see them covered in the media a few weeks or months later!

Well be it a coincidence, yeah right, or not at least all of these issues are being rbought to the fore one at a time! If this has happened ten years ago I would not have all these things to complain about then explain how it works and post on a blog! Lol!

Err I think you get were I was heading with that lot?

As I staed before there are a few things in the pipeline and I think I stated before my blood pressure is finally down through these Amlopodine drugs? tested yesterday, or I did, and iut was 121 which is good. A lot better than it was at 169! However I have spent one day really ill, a few afternoons feeling ill and the last couple of afternoons...err stoned! There is no other way to describe what has happened...or what I have felt like since last Sunday when I was ill...really ill and nauseous all day..or the vast majority of the day short maybe a couple of hours.

Today I was trying to get out the house, trying to find things I needed to go out that I needed to do, wonder if I should go out on my bike as the sun was shining, looked for stuff I cannot find and eventually...the stoned feeling bathed me in its warm glow and that was it! No getting out the house.

Oh and you do not need to to look very far to find many disgruntled people and gamers about the way things are and yet everyone sits their just watching these things happen.

With everything its a case of 'well its only a little...' or ... 'it would hardly notice...' but I am afraid that this got bolderr and bolder and bolder while more and more people did it.

Lots and lots of small pieces make one big jigsaw puzzle you know! You...have played with jigsaw puzzles? You...do...know what they are and how they work? Lol!


Anyhoo here is my steaming off again ...


Dear ***** ...

Oooh arrogant, ignorant and cock sure of yourselves, are you?!

Do not use no reply emails as it shows your arrogance and its bad netiquette to to mention downright rude!!

Ones I replied to earlier while wasting my time yet again... YOUR NOW COSTING ME MONEY SO I SUGGEST YOU NOW PULL YOUR THUMBS OUT OF YOUR REAR ENDS!!

EARLIER...

NOPE!!!

Still happening and you did not read my email...a bit odd for people offering an email service!

What in the world are you doing?

It is an email service that falls over upon entering the correct passwords?!

Are you..serious!!

Thirty years I have been using emails and never ever come across this problem. I have provided a picture showing that even after waiting several hours end then following your instructions, although I had already explained to you that I had already tried this but which you decided to either take no notice of or bother to read, it still does not work!

Maybe you should give up and do and do clipart?

I suggest you alter your webpages so that when people click things you do not make a statement that is false!!

Just saying!

I DID NOT ENTER A WRONG COMBINATION!!

Ooh yeah I am also now getting a server error!

Are you new to IT and the equpiment?

THE GAME IS AFOOT .. OR A LEG

Right this..is..getting..effing ridiculous!

Just like the complete joke of gaming I want to talk about I want to have a go at Google for their total destruction of Android, rendering blindness of tech journalists (or either do not know what the hell they are doing) and screwing up YouTube.

This is the third time now I have written this out and the last two were lost because their Chrome, yeah probably well on the way to breaking that too through narrow mindedness of trying too hard, lol,to achieve world domination by owning the Internet. Would the real parents of Stewie Griffin please come to aisle three please?!

Now I have a rule and that is to not type anything out in the description when uploading a video to YouTube because just like their blogger and blogger Android App...ooh and Android it is no longer fit for purpose! They are obviously still aiming on world domination by aiming everything at children, so like toys and not tools they do not work all the time...

...well they are called 'Google' you know. Ever thought about the executives or even coders sitting around a table thinking up serious business names? Imagine someone saying “How about...GOOGLE?!”? I would immediately request a blood test to see if they are intoxicated. I believe it was something to appeal to the new computer literate generation while they were you and impressionable and that the parents would just follow suit.

There were a number of perfectly good search engines around long before Google, like Yahoo being the most well known. Universities and lecturers, well here in the UK anyway, used Altavista as well as Netscape.

Anyhoo...back on subject before I go meandering off on a history lesson.

Here is what I believe to be a good example of what I have been absolutely astounded by since I returned to gaming in a big way, or read that as having a system where I did not wonder, or indeed KNOW, that my PC would run it or not.

Or in other words I had a few Bethesda titles, you do not need to ask me which ones now do you? These ran on my laptop.

Now the only game I thought was bad while on my laptop was actually the title Dirt 3. This was...simply confusing. The game ran OK, albeit with the setting turned down, but for the first time I had ever come across the MENUS did not?! Totally unheard of in my universe! Oh yeah and its stubborn insistence on running in windowed mode too.

I simply cannot believe that state that games are in and yup I did not like the idea of Steam when Half-Life 2 first came out, I go into greater detail on my computing blog. Now what just occurred over this last Christmas, 2014 if this is a year or three later your reading this, is a perfect example of why this is and I am afraid to say only giving fuel to the game cracking crowd as well as the 'software should be free and for the masses' crowd too.

Now if you do not want to be seen or viewed as a big and evil corporation then at least try and stop every move you make and every things you say look like something a big evil corporation would do!

The funny thing is I have known how bad things are and have done for years but the Internet exposes many things, somewhat too much at times. One of them is that these big evil corporations get seen for what they are by 'the masses'. It also spreads like wildfire and I find it completely hilarious that groups that thought so highly of themselves, both intellectually and their God complexes, failed to realise that this would happen.

Maybe they are run by an idiot board thatr do not even own a smart-phone to this day and are all old draconian dried up shrivelled bits of skin covered skeletons that believe the second world war ended a few weeks back?

Here is a tip for them...

Do not, I repeat DO NOT, harp on about piracy when your doing the exact same thing as they are in effect.

You write one bit of code, a game, for a console and then use the same code and sell it for machines it is not optimised for. So in effect your basically stealing the money from gamers for doing...well fucking nothing really! That alone to me is dishonest, lazy and greedy without getting into the reasons behind one lot of theft being lack of money and the other lot just pure and simple evil greed.

I have stated on various blogs, groan there is a list and the most popular on corruption, that the hypocrisy that exists is totally and utterly unbelievable and that if people watch closely as each excuse is dealt with their excuse for utter greed and gluttony will remain the exact same as it always has.

Oddly the Conservative Party currently in power proved that and so every time that we, or at least I, hear them calling the Labour Party things like this in the House Of Commons I literally laugh and then shudder with fear as I first think … 'Oh my God, you don't think the British Public are stupid enough to buy this crap any more? Umm, are they?'

Another very recent example is people noting large fluctuations in the wholesale prices of things and that when an announcement that they are going up, the retail prices go up immediately despite not even having bought anything wholesale at this price yet. But WHEN it comes down its weeks or even MONTHS before the retail prices come back down to where they were. Even when the globe has been in a financial crisis for over 5 years and everyone is pissed off at absolutely everyone in big corporations, governments and public services.

Example? Oh, yeah sorry...OIL! Petrol prcies shoot upwards literally overnight and come down overmonth, ooh I coined a new word?! One for greed...the overmonth, lol.

In this game of Splinter Cell Blacklist I was shocked at the game controls and dear God after witnessing this atrocity that I personally would not have my name linked to as a coder! It is terribly designed (not realistic in its maps or opposing force behaviour), idiotic load outs (you don't send someone into the heart of the middle east with two useless guns and a restriction on the number of bullets) and have a control system of no less than FOUR TITLES in your Tom Clancy series with totally different control systems to each other!!

What angers me even more than these greedy, fat, lazy wonkers doing this are the other ones paid a salary in a organisation that is supposed to stop us being ripped off like this?! But today the downside is that the more money you can demand the more right you have to rip people off and act as if you have a right by birthright to be handed vast volumes of cash belonging to the wider and poorer public?!

It is also evil worthy that the corporations that expect this latched onto something that has a far greater drive in us even more so than SEX to do this...or play. Playing is a strong human...no mammalian instinct because it helps us to survive in the big bad world. Kittens do it, puppies do it and WE do it. Polar Bears have recently been filmed turning up at a place where Huskeys are tied up and playing with them before the sea freezes over and they go off looking for Seals! He even turns up with a few friends too these days!

They are called addictions for a reason. Because at the end of the day it comes down to chemicals, whether these are actually produced by our own bodies and inserted into them one way or another. It is also escapism which we have needed more and more over the years because these people insist on doing things there way, giving us some crap at how it only works their way and they make the world go around (like FECK...OFF!)?! Narrow minded morons cut off from ANY kind of reality. Who would honestly want to be like that? No...don't answer that! Lol.

Now what these people need to do is be taught a few lessons. No not one or two but a fair few and the very first thing they need to do is figure out that we, or at least some of us, can smell bullshite at 100 paces! Hmm maybe they might actually need to have it explained to them that they ARE actually talking BULLSHITE in the first instance?! Well they do sound dumber than a brain-damaged while terrified kitten shrieking when I hear them speak.

They also need to be taught several lessons, no not just an EXAMPLE, of why they cannot do this any more. Like what happened to a bankers house but more widespread.

You see when it only happens to one or two all the others sit atop their empires of evil sniggering at the ones that have just been caught out and knowing or just hoping that they will benefit fro the demise of someone similar to them.

You see that is the one thing that evil doers have as an Achilles Heel that simply fail to take into account...there is no trust among them all and this can be used against them. I personally have over 100GB of data of them lying and cheating the public over and over again. Now we are into the phase where not one of them wants to take the blame and started pointing fingers at each other.

Forces for good, whether based on some form of friendship, comradeship (not I am not a commie lol), belief in some sort of daft idea or deity or even just family is that these can not only work in large numbers but that all of these can COMBINE into far greater numbers. These rish and powerful cannot … ooh I just thought …

Yeah they can hire large numbers of thugs. Most countries call them the Police!

Yes the Police who are supposed to protect the public but in the last couple of decades have shown that quite the opposite is true and that this is getting worse all the time.

Lol, well...lol...I can tell you that this is also true and widespread of Doctors in the UK and they take a Hippocratic oath so therefore showing that British people, no matter how highly professional they are viewed, will break that oath quite willingly at the right price, set of perks...or even in acts of self preservation.

Many things start off with a thought along the lines of 'oh, it is only a little lie' or a white lie or something seemingly insignificant but that is how it starts. That is how I watched it start twenty years ago in a court room, of all places. From that moment I knew these times were coming and each following year I saw more and more evidence so much so that 4.5 years before the recession hit in the UK I predicted it would occur within 5 years. OOPS!

So this sets me up to highlight to these morons one other thing that they have failed to do thus far, that was so easily predictable that they would, and that is you better wake up and drop the act fast.

Some countries have had there...moments of unrest and trouble and yet the lies are still prevalent as is the avarice. This is not like any time in recent history, not the UK's history anyway. Your heading for a fall and I for one have been spending over two and a half years telling anyone that would listen, had around 200,000 visitors thus far, not to accept someone who was thrown on-top their own swords like that scientist at the start of the film Serenity.

I find this attitude of people most naïve and irritating as I know that the real culprits...understatement and I mean evil doers are sitting around somewhere laughing that the wider public did not even get close to knowing who the guilty ones are.

Well, yes. This is most certainly true of the wider public but I learned a long time ago that this was obviously going on because the same hit just kept happening and doing so far more frequently. Now what kind of analogy could I use to describe what is going on there?

Ooh I know...BANK ROBBERS?!

OK let us just say thieves in general? When someone is pushed, for whatever reason be it right or wrong, to steal for the first time (individually or larger collective) one of two things can happen. They might get away with it by the skin of their teeth and scared so much they never do it again? Or they could breeze through it without a hiccup and they are them extremely tempted to do it again? Of course there is always the third and obvious one and that is they actually get caught, locked up and once been through the system, especially the easy rides they get today, they re-offend?

When I look about today I see every single industry from what I have seen both public and private, save a few, as being totally corrupted and full of bullshit but speaking as if they are of some sort of higher authority despite the fact there isn't one plus they show themselves up for being uneducated (read embarrassing) and do not even get me started on blood or breeding, lol.

The final and funniest part of it all is the fact that these people are labelled in the media as 'bean counters' and yet it is staring both them and everyone else in the face that it is so easily proven that they so obviously cannot add up simple maths.

The last reason why its different today as to that of history is that the rich and the powerful exist as a ratio, or percentage if you will, of society. Now any idiot should realise from this that one is hugely different from the other and that the smaller number of people grows very slowly while the larger number grows very rapidly. If there is a finite amount of money and land most of which owned by the few you have a recipe for distaster. A disaster waiting to happen.

Nope, they most certainly cannot count and that is not all. They also fail to see that when an animals is cornered, has its hands tied and its mouth sewn up and then prodded you can keep on doing this and its cruelty. Should the animal escape somehow or a bunch of them teach each other to escape or escape TOGETHER and the one with the stick is now in a very precarious situation.

Now what do you think may happen in this scenario?

When the recession hit everyone said that capitalism was over and even journalists on TV and tabloids would have to report things very differently.


Changed much? Lol.

What really gets my blood boiling is that all this is caused by a group, or groups of people that not only have no bloody input into the design process or the coding and basically take a large chunk of the cash for lying to the customers. They also seem to understand very little, or just do not give a damn, about people and professionalism.

Or in other words the marketing, legal and board members!

Here are some some examples I put on YouTube, well the Splinter Cell ones mainly show the issues whereas the Dead Island Riptide videos do not show its faults but had to be uploaded quickly because Google, like they effing do with Blogger which Wordpress do not, limit you on words without actually warning you about this or even telling you the maximum number WHEN they tell you you have gone over the limit?!#

How and why these people develop their God complexes is totally beyond me, it rtuly is, lol.

PART ONE ..


PART TWO ..


Last two do not really show much of faults, or I dont think they do, Google just doing their crapfest again by first limiting you on stuff, like on Blogger when Wordpress does not do it and has cost me visitor numbers. Also they rather stupidly then tell you there is a maximum when you go ever it and do not bother telling you WHAT IT IS!!

THE SMOKING GUN

I stated before in previous posts that I am aghast at the state of PC gaming and the more titles I go through the worse it gets. I mean that literally.

The worse it gets with games the worse it looks for reviewers.

Yesterday and today I have been playing Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist.

Now to give you an idea of how ridiculous it appears to be in all aspects I ordered the Splinter Cell Blacklist game at the same time as I ordered Call Of Juarez Gunslinger and Red Faction Armageddon. For some bizarre reason the Splinter Cell Blacklist game took a great deal longer to arrive than the other two. Now then where one thing stands out...
While the Splinter Cell game was downloading its second patch which seemed to also be 17GB I finally completed Call If Juarez Gunslinger. Well I say finally because I was stuck at this stage where I was in a huge gunfight with not only all the famous US outlaws but each character had several versions of themselves...hardly seems fair does it?

Did I mention they were all ghosts? Lol.

No I say 'finally' because I was stuck for a fair old while. I did not realise this was the end of the game mind you. I could not believe I had finished it while waiting six hours for Splinter Cell Blacklist to finish installing despite ordering the games at exactly the same time!

I doubt I have completed 20% of the other title, Red Faction Armageddon.

When I started playing Splinter Cell I really did not know what to expect. I have always wanted to try all the Tom Clancy games but read such bad things about them all. There are a lot of titles and the vast majority of them get extremely bad reviews by magazines and gamers.

I have scratched my head over this for a fair old while and it simply makes no sense, how the hell are these idiots making any money? Unless it's just the PC versions of the games in which case see something needs to be done. 

The more and more I play the more and more I think that either games software houses or the publishers or perhaps both are taking the right royal piss out of PC owners.
A few new titles in to my return to gaming and I came across something I never had before and I very much mean this literally. I was completely confused when I paused and tried to save my game progress. I was stunned and spent bloody ages looking for something that simply was not there?!
How very bizarre that is! It's literally unnerving because you don't trust whatever is it has shut its saving checkpoints. 

Now the odd thing about realising you have this bloody stupid, yes bloody stupid, system in games but I have one series where this literally occurs, read changes, during one particular series. I think this was where it occurred and that was Crysis. The first one you good safe your games and a quick look at Crysis 3 and it was gone.

I don't know whether it's pure laziness or they are literally taking the piss but I have gotten so frustrated about this that I feel I want to contact the coders and publishers and talk then to piss off over you consoles completely and one come back when they have they have grown up!

So my first few titles of Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Elder Scrolls Skyrim and the old fashioned way.

Yet all those three titles I mentioned all have this checkpoint system and one game dies this very badly. Very badly.

This is so obvious and potentially game breaking that's it's amateurish but the fees they command are anything but. 

Splinter Cell Blacklist is the one that implements it badly. Also the design of the game is also somewhat bad too. In fact the whole Tom Clancy bunch I have are still really messed up. I will explain each and with the reasons...

Ghost Recon Phantoms
Was told by Game Store was single player but the exact opposite is true. Was surprisingly better and more fun to play than I thought it would be. I also paid for it die it being a free game. Graphics pretty good and nice controls, especially the getting into cover button as well as firing from cover.
Pay to win which I detest as utter angreed and will destroy the gaming industry for all but idiots, believe me.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier
Expected and hoped it would be similar to Phantoms and it was... mostly. A bit short though and menus and other noon gaming screens where abysmal and bland.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare
Thought this would be like Phantoms but no, old, bad graphics and bloody hard. You get seen when it's impossible to be seen. Uninstalled it.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare 2
As above but not uninstalled just yet.

Splinter Cell Blacklist
Odd as it has the best graphics out of my bunch but other things let it down badly. I think that gamers get bitter about shite games because they want to like them so badly but that they end up feeling let down.

Aiming from cover often really stupid and does not work! Why you would it something in the game that's still broken I have no idea. Often your cross hairs are on a wall when submitting to aim from cover.

Saving checkpoints often too far apart in sections that will become boring quickly and then frustrating soon after. The first mission went like a dream but then the same thing happens with the two next missions?!

The controls are clunky like the aiming from cover is. It is already like this was a prototype to test the new controls? 


After a break for sleep just then I returned to playing Splinter Cell Blacklist and I am afraid to say that the three games I just bought are very disappointing, very very disappointing indeed.

The layout of the missions are absolutely dreadful and so is the game elements. Everyone is scattered about and each part is like a game of chess with everyone on high alert?! They simply would not be like this unless there was a full on attack or they knew one was coming. There is also no skill involved devastate toy work from trial and error which you have no choice in doing because along with far too many men scattered about they have the aforementioned dogs and can survive several bullets to the face while wearing normal clothing while your downed with a lot less.

I also had a really fecking annoying part where I managed to progress further and fur done bizarre reason they placed in the odd guys with armor?! I guess the cheers thought they were being clever and smart, err no your not, in suggesting that they can only afford helmets for one in ten men?!

Here is a tip guys, anyone in the spy or military industry that wants to be covert in their actions they do not go wading right through the middle of a complex with so little in the way of cover.

The controls are clunky whereas in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms game is just right and not only are they clunky they are also terribly unresponsive.

If this were any other type of gadget you brought the would be an uproar about it, often making the news and at times millions of things can be recalled from a hoover to a car. 

But hey, is only pennies your wasting right? I mean fifty or sixty quid is nothing really...or should I say twelve quid a month for god knows how many months? Or both?!

There should be a body set up that makes sure these games are not either shite or broken before going out the door. If they are and insist upon releasing them then they should be told they can only will them at gashed the price.

I tell you the only way you get through to anyone is money...well outside of physical violence towards them and no I don't mean threats, murder or manslaughter!

I am not saying this because of my own frustrations, you will really need to get you realize this about me. Have I bought a game on release at full price yet? No. So this does not affect me really and the only frustration I have is that I would want to buy one at full price within the first week of release but it is foolhardy to do this. I mean you would have to be a complete fool to just keep doing that!

Two titles I was looking forwards to were Dragon Age Inquisition and FarCry 4. Now with FarCry this was down to since really stupid game design. When it is that bad and you the discovery that 80% of gamers dry the same and it's even listed in games magazines in their to ten of cardinal rules you do winner to who these people are?

Now when I took my...sabbatical from games they had just worked out that the driving force behind games should be gamers and gaming access not money. Oh? Well no it shouldn't and anyone can say what as many times as they like it simply won't change facts. Done and done! The euphoria from playing games is as old as anything whereas the fault ridden idea that everything is driven by money is wrong, been around only five minutes and already proved itself as being felt ridden and simply does not work. The pioneers did it because they enjoyed it with the very idea if being paid to do that which you enjoy was a good thing to achieve.

But like everything else everyone starts to view others as reaching the point ode sitting on your arse while the dollars mount up. When this happens you lose focus and do not strive so hard to come up with ideas. The may well be exceptions to this rule but I cannot think of any. Though I did read an inspiring article about a couple living in a tree house while making thrift own games!

The of course you have the seeking of their souls because a few hundred thousand is not enough, they want millions. Or millions are not enough they want billions. Lol.
Like a man with a name like Dyson you start up thinking you could create something new or vastly improve something that already exists. You want to recreate something or you want to create something completely new. But surely you want it to be good, right?

If and when I create something I want it to wow people. I would want it to blow their minds. I would want it to be both polished and operational as well as well built and reliable. These are the golden rules for seeing the boat out to sail.

Full stop!

But this has evaporated over time with everything. Now you have these groups of people that simply want to buy a customer base. They buy something that's successful and then make a pile of bull manure to flocks of people hungry for more of the same.

They think of spending far less money while taking the same or very similar amounts of the surf. This simply does not work. They stupidly and stubbornly state it does and is the only way, well they are not going to admit they are idiots ate they, to you things. No...it's not. Your just unbelievably stupid and naive and think that the customer base are more stupid and naive than you are?! Which I rather find offensive somewhat, dear boy!
Hmm shoveling shite out the door. Sounds like a good line to use for the headline? Lol.
No I have yet to purchase a title that's new because I am still missing one component for my PC, put off because over £300 has gone to...help others. Even saying that I would still wait awhile. Oh yes, I wandered off there for a meander, sorry a bit light headed right now.

FarCry 4 got lower scores than I expected it to get and everyone seems to say something derogatory about the missions! This really annoyed me because I immediately thought the exact she things that marred FarCry 3 had remained.

This to me means someone wants firing or at least kicked in the gonads to be taught a lesson. Stupid, stupid, stupid. 

I have listened to the absolute garbage doing the rounds for years about PC gaming is going to die a death. They were staying this long before my computer science degree and for the last 14 years since then.

I started to think at one point that the rumors of these PC's demise was manufactured by either the game coders themselves or by the publishers? With the idea of doing people complaining so they can get a while new pile of cash for the same product. Could be both but I imagine the publishers would be the likely culprits?

What amazes me with the Tom Clancy games is that I have five titles here now and only two are alike while the others differ drastically in their controls. Weird.

I would be interested to speak to people that are fans of this lot, would be interesting to see what they say.

Now I did have A Tom Clancy title many years ago. I think it was likely prior to Quake 3 Arena but could have been after that title was released. Whichever one it was I am sure I remember you belonged to a group of four. I seem to remember, perhaps wrongly, having to control each one of the four which was confusing at the time.

A world away from a couple of titles of theirs I played recently with Future Soldier and the two Advanced Warfare games. Though the two latter titles are ridiculously hard. 
It seems to me that there were stages in game making when it was not just physics they needed lessons in but eyesight too! Maybe they're still is? Just tonight I was playing Ghost Recon Phantoms when I was killed by a sniper watching a passageway I did not even go anywhere near?! The were a couple of times tonight when I was killed and the culprit was shown behind a wall, one so badly I thought there must have been the user of cheat codes because a few bullets that found me actually rounded a corner by several feet!

Now also quite bizarre was the fact that this was not the only oddball thing to occur. The was a period where everything just went mad. All the opposing side seem to be running around like nutters for several minutes before I noticed a couple of them were moonwalking backwards?! The was also a period where I emptied two complete clips into an opponent who survived only to turn around and kill me with a single bullet?! This happened twice and another time was when I shot someone several times who disappeared fur a split second behind a corner and then appeared again getting my last couple of bullets in the magazine but this opponent, who had been struck by at least ten of my bullets, just carried on walking towards me while aiming his gun at me as if he or she knew they would not die?!

No they did not have that strange glowing red forcefield thing going on either. I did at least figure that one out. Not the red shimmering fog either which interferes with electronics, or appears to.

Oh yes, I am also extremely interested to know how I can be invisible (cloaked), laying on a floor and 200 yards away and after shifting my position I do get my head blown off as I raise my head before I even clap eyes on them?!

I don't know if updates can make things go awry. These strange goings on did not happen previously. It was almost as if I was playing a team that were several tiers above me in the weapons and gadgets department. 
So there matchmaking is a bit odd either that or I'm not completely all up on how everything works. I got added to a fire team and I have no idea what that is. Not sure how the clans work yet either.

Well I did say I was new at this.

Maybe when I've finished typing and posting this I will actually go and look. Well I have planned to do that several times but.. well I forgot. I do that and I tend to lose track of time too.

Would be interesting to drive into this with the relevant companies and governing bodies and due to what I managed to acquire on all the public services, bar two, and several big name retailers I should do rather well. Especially as I have learned new tricks and plenty of gadgets too. 

I would have to wait until I have cleared some of the backlog of things I have been working on for my corrupting blog. The two Police forces along with the DWP, Atos and the NHS will all likely be cleared over the next 6 months. My 7 concurrently running plans shod have it since reached their destination too? Metaphorically speaking of course.
I find one thing extremely bizarre that is not merely just going on but seems to be the case right across the board and everywhere I look...

Over time as we, human beings, learn so we then improve the things that we use and the things that we do.

Of late the opposite is true and all actions and creations seem to have gradually for worse and worse in the last ten years of so.

I hope this changes before to long?

Unfortunately those that now need to take action to change things for the better wing because they will either fail to see it or just be stubborn and wait for it to fix itself.

I for one simply hope that where games are concerned that we have now had two Fallout games and one Elder Scrolls with Skyrim asking with FarCry 3 and now 4 and the greedy companies will realise that they will benefit more if they concentrate on both working models and fun to play ones. 

Though the tithes might have their own little niggles the are easily forgiven when the title is something special.

Hopefully these linear games with mad chess like sections that threaten to bore you to the point of blood setting from your nose and eyes?! Lol.

If Splinter Cell Blacklist had a large open world a little harder than Skyrim with the control line that of Dead Island Riptide or Call Of Juarez Gunslinger ir even its own Ghost Recon Phantoms it would have been up there with the greatest games. What you are left with is a stylish and good looking game with a great idea adrift in a confusing sea of mediocrity.

I am hoping that this all now ends but then does not get fucked up by a bunch of greedy idiots that wasn't micro transactions and okay to win methods in games who did only prove themselves to be even now stupid than this by doing that "..this is the way it's heading"?! No it's not you moron! Just because the greedy corporations you sold your souls too stress all insisting they want it this way you only get permission to do so from gamers. Because they will be the ones to part with their cash. Only complete idiots pay to win on these things and while many gamers with a brain are already up in arms over this it won't be that if before even the most naive realist its a con. Yup a con.

Luckily for me Pink Floyd, Mike Oldfield, Jean Michel Jarre, Moby and Radiohead among others never asked for a monthly fees to continue listening to the music on a CD every month. Otherwise I would end up paying several thousand each month?!

So hopefully I am keeping my fingers crossed that they realise their mistakes?

Though somehow I doubt it.
