If you're the type of person who has the attention span of a goldfish, can't imagine stories without pictures, and generally are the type of person responsible for the slow decline of intelligence in the Pinoy society, then don't read this. If you are the type, but still venture forth to trudge through this text, then you are a visionary idiot, and any attempts to refute my thoughts will be met with equal - if not greater - force. If you are a kindred spirit, then feel free to trade ideas with me for the good of the written word. These are just my thoughts, not gospel truth. Dissect them, question them there is no right or wrong for those who know. I was never a fan of Butch Dalisay. Wait, let me correct myself - I was once a fan of Butch Dalisay, whenever I read his Penman articles on the lifestyle pages of the Star, but back then, I hadn't read any of his 'serious literature' yet. Which is to say, that I was just reading him as a columnist, not as a writer - ...
Lol! So this was the catalyst for that Contra chat you were forcing me into. Lol!

Insist away. I maintain that the mindless gameplay Contra brings to its gamers beats most other similar platformers (with the exception of Metalslug)any day. If I wanted to play spiderman, I'd look for a spiderman game hehehe.
ReplyDeleteNah, it was the GFX geek in me. That game had the most innovative idea for its time back when the Famicom reigned supreme. I took to it like a moth to a light bulb. Never convinced my folks to buy it though. This remake, my friend Martin, is redemption!!
ReplyDeleteBut ya it's not as cathartic as Contra. Sans the sentimental value, Serious Sam 2 will serve you well in that department if you wanna go Columbine-ish. (But with 3D gfx and absurd, ridiculous, surreal, BIG EFFING GUNS!!) :D
Sorry, no shooters for me. I prefer platformers. Shooters make me dizzy.
