The other day, I read the post of a friend who was ranting about how Manila can only be beautiful when seen from a specific light. I could understand what he means, because Manila is the center of traffic in the NCR. The poor are here in full force, the most corrupt policemen are here, and honestly, there is no discipline whatsoever. But here’s something that I’ve discovered. You walk Manila. You don't drive it. It isn't the most walkable city in the world, but what can be seen when you do walk it is fantastic. And when you walk around the city, you don’t encounter the corrupt cops (because they’re going after the drivers), you don’t deal with traffic. You can’t do anything about the poor, though. Unless they’re doing something productive, and not just begging, I avoid them. If they’re cleaning up trash, or something similar, then I give them cash.
Lol! So this was the catalyst for that Contra chat you were forcing me into. Lol!
ReplyDeleteLagi haha! Tsk, now they are too old.
I insist this is still for the win though:

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.
