Reach For The Stars

Well, I said I'd be talking about things I like, so, I shall. There is always argument about Blizzard games, because they have yet to release a sub-par piece. Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo are the three most well known series' in the Blizzard Entertainment arsenal, and are always up for discussion as to which was the greatest of all time. Many of my friends will argue that Diablo II was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'm a Starcraft man myself, and I, for one, CAN'T WAIT for the release of Starcraft II later this year.

The Starcraft Beta was released earlier this year (January 19th or soemthing like that) and has received nothing but praise from fans all around - I even bought a new computer in anticipation. Gamer nerdary aside, I'm here to discuss Blizzard's genius sales platform for the game itself. Since there are three different races to play (Terran, Zerg, Protoss), each game will be released seperately. Most fans already know this and, as I can imagine, aren't to happy with this three-game campaign. I'm assuming game cost is the primary concern, which, simply put and remedied is due to the company that is releasing an amazingly epic game and story line. It's not like Sega is releasing a new Sonic the Hedgehog and is making us pay for each character... this is on a new level of legendary.

So anyways, Terrans are coming out first (which I expected) and, of course, the Zerg are the second campaign with the Protoss following in as third. This is the one I can't wait to see. The protoss have always been my favorite race, it's going to be a pleasure to replay and enter a nostalgic state as I remember all the StarCraft I days. Oh Blizzard, we thank you. There is always new content coming out. I'd say check out the main site, but it seems to be down every other day. O.o

Dead and Gone?

Well, its not often that I get to brag and boast about how much I love the Honda brand, but today GM announced a cut of 21,000 jobs (distressing, isn't it) and the phasing out the Pontiac brand. GM has been a "trusted" name in the auto-industry for 80 something years and is the backbone of the U.S. bailout for American Car Manufacturers. Long story short, come this June 2009 we'll find out if GM will be a subsidiary of the U.S. Government; GM will be offering 225 shares of stock for every $1000 owed to the government and by the end of this summer the number will roughly be a staggering $27 Billion in debt.

So, what are we to think when our government makes a decision treading the waters of communism. Is it worth the tax toll to let the our government play economist with our domestic market, artificially stimulating supply and demand to control the auto industry? Or maybe Uncle Sam has a trick up his sleeve and his true intentions are to slowly phase out the dying U.S. Auto Market by only leaving a handful of key players (see the Honda/Toyota model) for the long haul. We'll find out soon enough, I just hope for the latter.

It Just Flu By

Well, the Jewish community has always argued that swine was a filthy creature and now, in some ironic way, its come to pass at being true. There have been recent cases, and news for that matter, of a growing concern over a national pandemic-in-the-making called "the swine flu"... Really, well here's my two cents on the subject, since the only reported cases outside of Mexico were in Texas and California. The WHO (World Health Organization) have commented that this could be a reason to (once again) stop transportation with countries affected with the strain (over 90 dead have been declared victims in Mexico) and, if necessary, close boarders amongst countries.

If any of us can remember the cases in the early 2000's with "Mad Cow Disease" and the sweet Indian girl who was the (only known) affected with the disease in its latest stages. Its a heart-wrenching video, but it removes from the question of whether or not we should be concerned over this being the new "national pandemic". What will wipe out the human race? And for that matter who's winning the race? It seems that every time a new disease or plague or virus is found and cured a new one sprouts up within a short period of time. Who's winning, us or the little tinie tinies that will one day reclaim the planet and start our cycle again?

Debauchery.

Clubbed to Death

Interesting day. While I was browsing through youtube videos, I came across one that had rob doughan's clubbed to death playing in the background; which, in turn, made me go watch the actual music video. An interesting appearance of this song is in The Matrix when Neo runs into "the woman in the red dress", who turns out to be an agent. Blah blah blah. Well in this music video (which I'd recommend anyone watching) you have said character, lets call him Roy, who's running backward in time, yet moving forward.

Have I lost you yet? I'm sure I haven't but it's worth a watch. On a more important note, Jenny Penny has made her way back to San Diego and I just found this out moments ago... oh Sprint, how I love thee. Back to subject at hand, gotta love ADD, Rob Doughan has had numerous blockbuster hits like I'm Not Driving Anymore, The Origin, and Furious Angels (not a personal favorite). My favorite one is by far Clubbed to Death, its a modern day orchestra.

The Ocarina of Rhyme

Wow! If you're a Zelda fan, and come on if you're born in the 80's+ you should be, you'll get a kick out of this album. "The Ocarina of Rhyme" is a set of productions based on Legend of Zelda themes, like The Great Fairy Fountain Theme and Lost Woods Theme. Listen, I know you're thinking I'm nuts for going nuts over this but trust me its worth a listen. I had to call my cousins after hearing Clipse's Virginia to the Lost Woods Theme, I literally ran circles around my room.

See its the simple things in life that put a smile on your face and music is one of those. My room mate, Jason, has been playing a lot of Zelda lately and I've been missing it. Finding these tracks really asserted that longing that I have for the game, which got me to thinking... Hey Nintendo, when should be expect a new Zelda game to drop? I'm sure we'll see one for the DSi before the Wii, but, hey, it's better than nothing. Alright back to grinding.

Turtle kisses!

New

Speaking my mind is not something new to me. Publishing it on the internet at will, is... but only to a degree. I have a lot to say, and its usually a daily thing and consistently about what I'm absolutely in love with and what my friends are into and what the world around us should know about.

So, I'm Sargon. I love music and I'm always listening to one form or another. I love politics, and religion for that matter; but I love both as subjects for discussion. I love fashion, I feel that most of the people in the continental United States should not walk outside of their homes in the things they wear. And most of all I love myself, I feel that everyone should have a shot at loving me so this is why I created this blogspot.

Ta ta for now.
