I had assumed that reviewers had a general idea of what they thought about the game and just expand upon that thought throughout the review, snipping unnecessary "uhms" in post-production.
Just seems if you're review is scripted, the person themselves would sound scripted.

It's more like, jotting down what I liked and don't like, then playing around with how to throw it out to the public without sounding narrow-minded or just having no idea what I'm talking about.
When I'm on the spot, the words cannot come out right. But I wouldn't do it in a way where I wrote out the entire review and it's that noticeable.

I was so goddamn pissed 10 minutes ago.
Finally bought Clock Tower 3 (out of pure gamble.) I had always heard that it was a mixed bag. They weren't kidding.
Holy shit, the boss fights made me want to tear my face off. They don't even flow with the atmosphere of the rest of the game. (I'm on the last cheap-ass boss.)
If they had kept it like the first and second chapter, with the dead blitzed-out London with the haunting Chopin echoing through the streets, or the dark industrial alleys and run-down apartments, it would have been so much better.
Instead, we got:
-Sailor Moon-esque boss fights with a stupid bow that you can't change the aim of once you draw it(!)
-No items allowed during boss fights (i.e. you cannot heal)
-Spazzy characters who move around like they're under the influence of some kind of hard drugs (I'm not kidding...It's so embarrassing watching the cutscenes (no joke- that's the actual mo-cap) with other people in the room)
-Stupid characters with horrific voice-acting
-A shitty excuse for an end boss (who can kill you in 3 hits, drain a fourth of your health bar to heal himself, and has two massive health bars)
-Terrible controls
-A heroine who wobbles around like a drunk cripple with two broken legs
-An unnecessary (and dumb) plotline about 'Entities' possessing humans ('Subordinates') who must kill for them. 15-year-old girls of the 'Rooder' line are the only ones that can stop them.... *eyeroll*
I thought it was fine when the Barrows were just crazy Satan-worshipers...
As much as this sounds like I hate it, I actually did enjoy certain parts. However, I have no idea what Capcom was thinking when they decided on some major gameplay elements. Clock Tower (2), which was point-and-click, was way better than this, in all its polygonal and goofy glory.

Here's a BF3 video I recently made.
Originally, I did a commentary of a match telling my thoughts about the game, but then I found out that the in-game audio just muffled the commentary, makingit too low to hear.
Rather than waste the footage, I threw Kalimba in there and made something out of it.

I like Panic at the Disco's first album. I think every song on it is fantastic, and easy to listen to. I am disappointed by their future releases.
And Clock Tower 3. Is that with Alessa? I thought that game was fun, I especially enjoyed the final boss. I nicknamed him Gene Simmons.

Yup. Alyssa Hamilton.
It is fun, when the sluggish controls don't make you crash into walls, and when you're out in the environments, helping ghosts and the like (much like Echo Night...)
The first stage was amazing, and the second one wasn't half bad, but the boss fights are insanely dull. It's just a war of attrition.
Run, run, run, wait for them to taunt, try to charge a chain arrow, duck, run away, rinse, lather, repeat.
The final boss has the most annoying voice I've heard in a good while. He makes the same three sounds, and cycle between three-or-so taunts the whole time.
The boss battles are my largest gripe with the game.
I do like the game, but it has a lot of flaws holding it back, in my humble opinion.

I'm writing down reviews on why certain games are just not worth playing, how when video games are handed off to a different company that the game suddenly starts sucking, and just my hatred in the path that Tomb Raider went after Angel of Darkness.
I don't know if I'm confident enough to actually pull this off. If anyone of you guys actually met me in person, I would be so fucking shy to say anything to your faces, believe it if you can't.
But it's something that would be really cool to give a try at.
And I am getting so sick and tired of that fucking Kardashian... Go jump in a lake and drown for all I care for, PLEASE!!!!

I tried that a few hours ago since everyone was talking about doing that, I didn't know what was going to happen when I typed it, I thought maybe some weird links would show up as results or something, I wasn't expecting it at all. It's pretty cool.

So I'm talking to this girl and my friend really likes her and talks to her too. I mean I'm starting to like her which I feel bad about it because he told me thats like his dream girl. I got her number throught twitter which we started talking on. Than my friend actually asked her out on a date.....and the whole time during the movie she was texting me. Me and her text once in a while because I like somebody else. But like the more I text her I get mixed signals from her. Like today we have lunch together and she's like me and you should go sit alone. And I was like why? Than she tells me its cause she doesn't like the silence at our table. I'm not entirely sure about her though cause when she smiles and when we talk she's all smiles.
It's all together a confusing mess.

do a barrel roll seems to do nothing for me odd.
Kinda depressed today.
That girl I talked about in the simple joys in life thread, its her birthday.
Of course I remembered her birthday and texted her. It just extremley sucks because she is all that I have thought about today. She always seems to find a way into my mind, but today is the worst. This girl and I have been good friends since the 5th grade. I started to fall for this girl about 3 years ago and things were about to get really serious and we were really close. Unfortunately I had to go to another state to work with my father, and she met this other guy. I did not know til I came back that she was dating him.
This guy was actually a real asshole. He never let her talk to other guys, and especially me. They dated for like a year or so and broke up because he cheated on her. Of course the minute that they broke up guess who she called and then texted for like 4 hours. I found out that this guy actually beat on her, did lots of drugs, and was pretty much an asshole to everyone. Well things started to heat up again between us and we got even closer; however, when I would talk about us dating she would always say she would be afraid of losing me forever. Then like 5 months later the asshole called her up saying he had changed and blah blah blah. Needless to say she went back to him.
I get to talk to her still, but not very often. I hardly ever get to see her. The only time it seems I do, it's when she needs help or needs something. Of course she does not ask her bf cause he does not know how to do anything. Like the other day when she needed her stereo system taken out of her car, she calls me.
I really like this girl, maybe even seriously love this girl. She is perfect, even the "imperfections", in my eyes. The look and smile she gives me when its just me and her just fuckin melts me. We have said "I love you" to each other, which is really hard for me to say to someone. I would love nothing more than beat the shit out of her bf, spend the entire day with her today, and so much more. I'm sorry for this long ass rant but I just needed that off my chest. Today just had to be her b-day.
