Moonstone (Eroge company) has released “perhaps” the first ever English translated bishoujo game for the iPhone and iTouch today. Bearing in mind that this released version is the same one as the PS2 version/All ages version. with some small adjustments for the iPhone/Touch such as; instant resume of the game if there is a call from a push of the Home button.

Text is in English and Voices are in Japanese.
Only compatible with 2nd generation iPhone and iTouch OS 2.2 or later.
Size: 1.08gb

Edit: Moonstone reports that it is not a pure clone of the PS2 version. A lot of the voices was taken away to compress the game.

There seems to be other bishoujo games released in the iTunes store, none of them are English translated. Some are also trial versions/playable demo.

I wish I had an iPhone or iTouch.

I have stumbled across this on Spotify and wanted to share it with you.

Let’s start off with an introduction here, shall we? For starters, I’m Systematik, a gamer in league with Shockwave, Flatcher, Loli-Phile, and H. Snake. The major point of contention I discrete is that I’m not a weeaboo, though. If you assume that because I hang out with that lot of weeaboos, therefore I am, you’re mistaken. So before the question is raised, no, I will not be making any flavour of anime-driven posts. I’m granted references to the one or two that I’ve actually watched, but even those are sporadic and generally arbitrarily tossed out there at long intervals. So as I’ve mentioned former to this moment, fuck off, I don’t like anime or Japan.

My main basis for being here is the commonality that most visitors share with me: video games. I’m a gamer/critic, as well as an avid film, music, and novel supporter. Read it, watch it, listen to it. But I affirm to you that I will be mainly providing news as well as reviews. Now with my main purpose stated, I’ll provide you with what I hope to accomplish in the coming months.

I hope to get several reviews of the upcoming “popular” games being released in mid-November, as well as provide some reviews of independent games being released. I’ll probably start off with reviews of things I’ve recently seen/played/listened to/read, just to get a strong feel for what I’m going out to do.

Expect reviews of Zombieland, The Zombie Survival Guide, Machinarium, The Lost Symbol, and some music news/reviews.

On Steam, I’m SystemGS (or if you search for me via the Steam Community: Systematik). Feel free to add me.

Hello, it’s me; the site owner! The poster of something for once after a year of leaving my silly friends to do their own rubbish with my blog. As you can see already, my blog is a complete and utter failure.

I’ve updated it because I “care” about it. But really, I have no idea what else to do with it! So I’m just gonna leave it in its current state while I think!

I could use some suggestions so comments are appreciated!

Massive Note: I give A LOT away, consider it a *Spoiler* warning!

During the early half of my childhood, I remember watching a cartoon called G.I Joe. Looking back on it now, I realize that I only watched it for the guns and explosions – a common thing in American television – in fact thinking back on it, I always thought it was a Action Man show, since I had no idea what G.I Joe was. After about 3 episodes, the broadcaster for some unknown reason cancelled it. Anyway, towards the end of an episode there would be a PSA (Public Service Announcement) teaching kids the good and bad things, which were common in children shows at the time such as Captain Planet, Sonic the Hedgehog etc.

By now you must be thinking what all this has to do with this “review” well at the end of the PSA, a fairly popular catchphrase is spoken at the end: “And knowing is half the battle!” And now, I wish I hadn’t known about this movie.

This movie SUCKS! In fact I’m not going to bother doing a “review” of it. I’m just going to rant and pick out some of the flaws in it. And Yes, this will be very very biased. So stop reading if you want a fair
opinion.

Rant 1 – The overall direction of the movie.
The movie’s direction/set out is pretty damn boring. You get the story, then a flashback, the story, then a flashback etc… A lot of the time the flashbacks are pretty useless because the audience have already figured it out. Sibling rivalries, death of brother etc. To be honest for a movie that was based on a cartoon, based on a series of toys, I never expected this movie to have so much back-story. They are a special force that deals with terrorists etc. They blow shit up, beat up bad guys, END.

Rant 2 – The characters
Out of all of the characters in the movie, about 3 of them were given a full back-story, hence they take most of the flashbacks sequences. To be honest, I was only really interested in the silent Ninja/Snake Eyes. Which was pretty disappointing.
The sudden romance between 2 of the characters; Ripcord and Scarlett was weird. They probably have the least amount of interaction between each other.

Rant 3 – Story
The overall story sucks. Set in the future nanomachines are the new hype on warfare. These nanomachines can eat through metal and something, i really didn’t pay much attention. Basically the bad guys steals it and tries to take over world! Simple stuff really. Except for the fact that these nanomachines can control people’s minds and can alter their facial appearances! So why the hell didn’t they just change their own faces into a powerful person like the President and walk into the White house and just kidnap or mind control the actual president themselves? Which is what they did AT THE END of the movie! Making the movie a waste of time.

I think I’ve covered the overall flaws of the movie, I could probably go on, but I would rather focus on some of the most ridiculous scenes in the movie:

1 – The bad guys find out where the G.I Joe headquarters is (some desert place). So they somehow drive these big drilling machines through the desert and smashes into their base for infiltration. Why does G.I Joe radar not pick this up? How does huge drilling machines be the same as a “small turbulence” (movie quote)

2 – In the same scene, during the infiltration of the headquarters, there was only 1 guard in the base. This is a military base, why is there only 1 guard in the whole base? Better yet, why does nobody else hear the rocks getting smashed through the wall or the rocks that fall onto the ground, when the drilling machines smash through underground. Now that i think about it, there was actually another guard there, but he died in less than 3 seconds. Movie wise, I would say that he would be standing there for more than 10 minutes, which he could have used to like, I don’t know;  maybe shoot the intruders? Or better yet inform everyone else.

3 – There’s a car chase scene within Paris that spans from the The Place de l’Étoil to Champ de Mars to blow up The Eiffel Tower with their nanomachine rocket, which i don’t see why they didn’t just use a normal rocket or just fly in with their spaceship thing, that even attack helicopters can’t destroy, I mean they could have kept that nanomachine and loaded it into a warhead, like they did during the climax of the movie. They would have had 4 warheads to destroy the major capital cities. The G.I Joe’s barely took out 2 – there were 3 of them originally, 1 was taken down by the ninja whilst the other 2 were taken down by plane, except the 2nd one had like 5 seconds remaining upon impact. Therefore if they hadn’t had wasted that one rocket on the Eiffel tower, the bad guys would have succeeded.
Also, in the same scene, during the car chase. They literally smash through buildings, cars and streets, basically everything to chase the bad guys. And they basically try to pass it off that NO ONE was in those buildings and such, or the fact that hundreds of people may be dead or seriously injured. 1 of the guys literally jumps THROUGH A MOVING TRAIN, in their robot suit thing, coincidentally NO ONE was sitting on the window chairs or standing near the window where 1 of the guys jumps THROUGH. How is that even possible!?
ALSO IN THIS SAME SCENE, the bad guys go in front of the moving train and the train collides onto the side of their car. The car SUFFERS NO MAJOR DAMAGE how is that possible? And that’s not the worst of it. The car somehow flies through the air doing at least 5 rotations and ignites into flames and scrapes along the road. Even that’s not the worst of it, the bad guys literally come out of the car, with 2 bruises on their faces and runs off IN PERFECT CONDITION, no limping or anything. Their clothes all clean and white too, no dirt no nothing. By the end of this scene, the French government arrests them, but they SET THEM FREE without any form of punishment.

4 – The Ninja in black/Snake Eyes Flashback 1 and 2. in the first flashback we find out that he’s dome white kid living in the streets of Tokyo eating rats. Sneaks into some house, steals food and fights another kid. The other kid’s master comes in and basically tells the kid to stfu and talk english. (Which is actually really funny) Then in the second flashback they all talk in Japanese and the 2 kids become “brothers” Even though they blatantly show that they hate each other. Then the other kid stabs and kills their master. Other kid runs off joins the bad guys. Because of this, Snake Eyes took a vow of silence, never to speak again. Wierdo.
I should have put this in the previous rant but whatever: in the car chase in Paris, Snake Eyes clings onto the bottom of the bad guy’s car and does virtually nothing to stop it. When he FINALLY reaches the roof, he just stabs his sword and shoots his gun, through the roof of the car.(Best way to not break the nanomachines and to not spread them throughout the city /sarcasm)

5 – I know this is supposed to be a prequel of some sort, but did they really have to put Destro (Main bad guy) at the END of the movie? In fact the bad guys don’t even acknowledge themselves as Cobra. (Evil team) And when he does show up, he gets arrested and sent to jail in less than 5 seconds. Anti-climatic enough?

Ok, this is getting way too long and you’re probably bored from reading it now, if not before or bothered. There are much more and i mean MUCH MORE things wrong with this movie. Such as the age rating or a lot of the scenes etc. Overall, movie sucks even if it is supposed to be aimed at 12 year olds, I assume. But when, even the 12 years olds starts to asks their parents why and how the bad guys survived that car chase scene, the fire rotating car blah blah, then clearly the director/script writer fucked up. And yes there was 3 of them sitting behind me in the cinema.

So if you like Giant explosions and mindless violence with no logic at all – The Good old American way – then this movie might be to your liking.

This morning after browsing /b/ for twenty minutes and being brain-dead, I have realized my access to it has been restored. I don’t know if this has been restored to the whole AT&T network though. (South California)

Edit: Blockage is now lifted globally!!! http://status.4chan.org/ for more info

Apparently AT&T has now blocked the url img.4chan.org throughout it’s service. This means /b/ and /r9k/ are now inaccessible under AT&T’s internet service. It’s nice to see that AT&T have such good customer support. I am under a sneaking suspension  that they may indeed be using child labour to man their customer support chat. It’s nice to see an ISP “caring” for it’s customers with a child’s touch, and stating that they don’t “blcok” websites.

I spoke to AT&T customer chat and here is what I got:

Ethan: No,please contact 4 Chan technical department.
You: I’ve already contacted the 4chan administrators, and they stated that my ISP is blocking my connection, not them.
Ethan: Based on our experience, this issue is best resolved when working together with one of our support agents over a telephone line because it requires multiple troubleshooting steps. Please call us at 1-877-722-3755 for Tier-2. We look forward to speaking with you to resolve this issue.
You: OK
You: I need to go now
Ethan: Okay
Ethan: Bye!

Apparently they think it is 4chan’s fault that this interruption of service is linked to them, and not theirs.

I am a AT&T customer, so, FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-
