This is the first article we've published ever after me and the rest of staff's Graduation. Yeah, it's been a while. But don't worry. We're back and we're definitely loaded. And here's another story for all of you people who want to get away form the harshness and sadism and cruelty of what we call "<b>Reality</b>".<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Who Are You?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Knock. Knock. Knock.</i> I heard knocks on my front door. I actually heard <u>something</u>. I actually <u><b>heard</b></u>! I got up from my bed and got my shotgun and went down the stairs to the front door. I don't know what kind of shotgun this is, 'cause I just got this from my dad's old closet. Who cares now, anyway? <i>Who? </i>This is all so weird. Too strange. <i>Who would knock on my door? <u>Who?</u></i> I stood beside the door and leaned against the wall. <i>Knock. Knock. Knock.</i> There it goes again. I'm scared. I don't want to open the door. I don't want to. I'm never been so scared like this in my life... except one time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I remember back when I was a kid. My mom left me when I was just 7 or 8 years old. My dad got into a very deep depression. He wouldn't talk for days. <i>Months.</i> Mom left us for God knows what. She just stole off into the night like nothing ever happened. Not to say that I didn't feel anything after that. I just always thought that she was just out to work and come back with toys or candy like she always does. But she never did. After realizing that, I cried. I cried for days. <i>Months</i>. My dad started to cry too. I guess he couldn't take it anymore. One day, I found him on the floor moving like some kind of insect. Shaking. Shaking so badly. Saliva foamed in his mouth. I stepped back and back and back, and started to cry. I screamed so loud that the neighbors came in the house to check. He was brought to the hospital and confined there for a couple of days. Turns out he overdosed on Aspirin and sleeping pills all at the same time. That was the only time I've been so scared like right now. So, so scared. I thought my dad would leave me too, just like what my mom did. And I was alone. So alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like now. A deep pain dashed through my head. <i>God. Headaches again.</i> I've been having more of them lately. Maybe it's because I've been staying up all night, on guard. My eyes wide open. Honestly? I can't even sleep. And if I do, I'm half-awake. Sweat dripping down my skin. The feeling of a fever creeping up on my body. It's too much. <i>God, are You there?</i> But, I manage. I survive... so far. <i>Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.</i> They're getting more violent now. <i>Who is this?!</i> I can't do this. I just went up again and laid down on my bed and let the shotgun stand on the right of it. I face it and think... <i>How long has it been like this? Days?</i> Months.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>What happened?</i> I just woke up one morning one day to see that everyone vanished. Every single person alive. The TV channels stopped airing. No one online on the Internet (or the Internet stopped working too, I don't know). Newspapers stopped publishing. No one on the streets, at work, in their houses, anywhere. No one. The radio just feeds off static. <i>And that was my only hope. Like that movie where there was this guy who was the last man on Earth.</i> But this <u>isn't</u><i> </i>a movie. This is real. I <u>am</u> the last man on Earth... or so I thought until 10 minutes ago when I heard knocks on my front door. <i>Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.</i> They're getting louder now. 'LEAVE ME ALONE!' I shout back to the door. And for a night, it does. Whatever it was.<br />
<br />
While trying to catch my sleep, I remember the first day I had as the last man on Earth. I roamed the streets of the city with no fear, yet I still held my shotgun. The stores were empty, TV screens blank. Nothing. <i>Nothing.</i> The first thing I did, was to steal off some grocery supplies and headed back home. I got some clothes too. The whole world was mine. I would run off to the middle of the street and scream and sing and laugh. I was the happiest I've ever been. I was <u>alone</u>. That was all I've <u>ever</u> asked for. But that night, as I slept, I was expecting all of them, the people, to return by the time I wake up. But they didn't. And I loved that. <i>I just want to be alone.</i> <i>I don't want any people at all.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I fell asleep in the longest time ever. I can't remember the last time I slept so soundly. That was probably a long time ago. <i>When there were still people at all.</i> Rain was falling down. So hard and loudly. The knocks weren't there too. <i>Thank God.</i> I went down to the kitchen and made myself breakfast... or at least what I call "breakfast". It's just a sandwich. I live off by stealing from supermarkets and malls. But that doesn't count as "stealing" anymore, right? Since there's no one to steal from. <i>Until yesterday</i>. Since yesterday, fear has caught me on edge. I don't want to go out anymore. And my supplies wouldn't last a week right now. I <u>had</u> to go out at some point. I sat down in front of the dining table and stared out the window eating my sandwich. Then out-of-the-blue, I hear my favorite and most hated song. 'Can't Help Falling in Love' I whisper to myself. This was played during the time I was in a restaurant back when I was a kid. <i>When mom was still with us</i>. That was the first time I've ever heard of that song. Then the other time, the one I hate, was when dad was dying on the floor when I was a kid, when he OD'ed. It was playin on his radio beside his bed. I've always noted that song ever since. It kept playing in my head right now. <i>No. It's coming from outside.</i> I ran upstairs, got the shotgun, and went back to the door. <i>Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock! Knock! </i>The knocks were back. 'This is too much. WHO ARE YOU?' I asked. There was no reply but the continuous knocking on my front door. I slid down the wall and began to cry. <i>Daddy...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another memory comes into mind. When I was 13, my dad became depressed again. He would just lock himself in his room and wouldn't come out for days. <i>Months.</i> One afternoon, after school, I decided to go inside his room and finally talk to my dad. But after opening the door, I saw my dad laying on his bed with a rotten smell coming off him. He'd been there for a long time, it seems. Then the same scenario like back then played. The neighbors came and took him away... for good. Since then, I've hid and stayed away from people like the plague. 'Cause of the fear, of the assurance, that <u>all</u> of them would leave me someday. Not today. Not tomorrow. But someday. Complete isolation from the world, from people. <i>Now look where that's gotten you, Patrick.</i> Guess I paid the price? A taste of my own medicine? I don't know. I don't care anymore<i>.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After dad died, I went away. For years, I traveled the streets and cities as a vagrant. Sleeping on the pavement. Eating on junk I see in the trash. And most than not, I kept being mugged. They would kick me and beat me down and run away with what I had at the time, which was mostly scrapped food or a blanket I found in the alleyways. Child Care soon found me wandering a random city and took me into custody. I was 17 then, I think. They kept me in what seems like an orphanage. The other kids tried to talk to me, but as they do I'd push them away. I didn't want anyone near me. There was this one time, a kid tried to talk to me. He wouldn't stop. He got to my nerves. And so I stood up and punched him in the face. He was knocked down, sure enough, but I didn't stop there. I kicked him over and over again. I grabbed his head by the hair and smashed his face against the wall. At the side, I saw a pair of scissors and grabbed them. As I was about to stab him in the stomach, security stopped me, grabbed me by the hand. The boy was laying there, bleeding to death. <i>He was 5</i>.<br />
<br />
I faced trial in Court. I got a lawyer whom I don't even know, but since I couldn't provide for my own, the police gave me one. He pleaded for "insanity", but the Judge didn't seem that convinced. As the days went by, the Judge, out-of-nowhere, gave me a sentence to stay in an institution for the criminally insane. To stay inside a white room with a straitjacket. But since I've always wanted to be alone, I guess I deserved this. Wanted this. And so I gave in and stayed there... for years.<br />
<br />
<i>Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.</i><br />
<br />
News had it that the lawyer who represented me lost credibility of himself and his license 'cause of the allegations of bribery. <i>Figures. </i>All his past clients had their sentences cleared and charges dropped. How? I don't know. <i>They took away my gift!</i> They sent me away from the institution and left me on the streets, again. I had nowhere else to go except the old house where my mom left us, and where my dad died. And so I went there. But on my way there, I was mugged again. But to the dismay of the mugger, I had no things of value with me. So instead, he stabbed me in the abdomen and ran away. I just lay there on the street, bleeding so profusely, with the whole world turning black. I think I lost consciousness then. Luckily, the old house was just nearby and so I drew my strength and crawled and I crawled and I crawled. For a while, I just lay on the floor, recovering. It was a miracle that I did. But it wasn't a "miracle" that I had no job, no money, and no life. I survived off from junk in the trash like what I did when I was a teenager. I've done this for years. <i>I'm 27 now.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.</i><br />
<br />
What kind of life do I have? Do I even have one? <i>KNOCK!</i> That jumped me off to my feet. 'WHO ARE YOU?' I ask. <i>KNOCK! KNOCK!</i> I'm getting scared. I back away and aim my shotgun to the front door<i>. Like a river flows surely to the sea...</i> It's still playing! 'WOULD YOU STOP THAT?!' I beg. Tears stream down my face. <i>KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!</i> Lightning flashed through the windows, and then came thunder. I was startled but that only made my grip on the shotgun tighter. 'Who are you...?' I couldn't take it anymore... The pain. <i>The fear.</i> And so I put the shotgun to my temple and as the thunder roared... <i>BANG!</i><br />
<br />
'Clear.' A charge was surged upon me and my body jumped off the bed, in restraints. I opened my eyes. A beep came out from a monitor at the side. Then from a straight line, it became a line of mountains. And the beeps continued on. 'He's alive.' a man in white said. There were people all in white around him too. They began cheering and clapping. I lost consciousness.<br />
<br />
<i>Take my hand. Take my whole life too...</i> <br />
<br />
I woke up one day in a hospital room. There were no flowers on the vase on the cabinet beside me. <i>Nobody knows me, anyway.</i> A nurse came inside. 'What happened to me?' I asked. 'You were found on a street near your house, bleeding to death.' the nurse replied. <i>Mugged.</i> 'Who brought me here?' I asked again. 'A man who just happened to be walking on your block. He brought you straight here.' she answered politely as checking my stats. 'Bring him here.' I demanded.<br />
<br />
The man came in an hour later with flowers and two burgers in his hand. He sat down beside me and looked at me in the eye. 'Thank you.' I said. He put the flowers in the vase and the burgers beside them. 'So, how are you?' he asked. 'I had a dream.' I replied. 'A dream? What kind of dream?', 'I was the last man-- I was... I was... Everybody vani-- But there was... I-- I-- There were knocks on my front door.' I finally managed to say. 'Knocks on your front door? What do you mean?' he asked curiously. I stared out the window. Looked down on the streets and saw people walking, minding their own business. Living each and their own lives. <i>Company.</i> 'I'm Patrick. Who are you?' I turned around and asked him. 'I'm... Well, Patrick. I'm your friend.' he answered.<br />
<br />
<i>Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.</i><br />
And the door opened.<br />

Yup, that's right. It's been exactly a year since me and the guys formed the blog. So to celebrate its first anniversary, I'm gonna do an article that hasn't been written here before. Something that I wanted to try; a different style. And I would like to share it with you people. Here it is. Cheers to you all.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> Formaldehyde </b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As I come to my senses, I realize that I cannot move my body and let alone, breathe. I cannot speak. I cannot ask anyone what's happening to me right now. I am confused. I can see a subtle reflection of myself right in front of me, but I see bright lights too. I feel something flowing around my body. Something like blood or water. I don't know what's going on. I seriously do not.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am confined inside a sort of box, of what it seems. My body is straightened out like hard wood. I feel in my right hand of what it seems like a rosary. Am I supposed to be praying? Or am I just holding it just for design? It's so silent in here. Not that I don't like it, it's just that I needed a sort of "silence" from time to time. I was surrounded by noise all my life. Noise that irritates you, annoys you. Noise that is utterly worthless. Noise that could kill. But not all of that "noise" were of the negative connotation. The "noise" of a person crying of joy, or even hearing someone you love laugh makes you smile, makes you happy. And you wouldn't even consider that "noise" anymore. For it is now what you call "sound".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Speaking of sound, I hear some of it now. It's been a while, forever actually, since I heard some. <i>A person's voice. Good God. It's a person's voice!</i> A woman, it's a woman's. But wait, she sounds upset. <i>What? Why?</i> She wails out loud. She cries. And it seems she's slamming something to the wall or to the ground, I can't make it out. I don't understand. <i>What's happening?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After a few hours, the sound of what it seems to be people grew louder and louder. And most of them were the sound of the woman a while ago; despair. Did something happen? But then, I hear something different. I hear footsteps, and they're coming closer and closer. I see a man's face and he looks unhappy. Everyone is, I reckon. 'Why are his eyes open?' he asks an out-of-picture person. 'I dunno. He's been like that ever since.' answers the invisible figure. <i>What does he mean by that? Were they referring to me? Of course my eyes are open! Why would they even be closed?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As time progressed, different faces hovered over my face. Most of them asked the same question as the previous man. Some dropped their tears over my subtle reflection. I see their sadness... I <u>feel</u> it. Yet, I do not understand why they have to be. Something must've happened. Something bad. I'm sure of it. I need to find out what it was.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A woman of familiarity visited me for last. 'His eyes... They're so beautiful.' she remarked, 'It's good that they didn't close at all. It's his last day today' <i>What? "Last day"? What does she mean by that?</i> Before I could even conjure another thought inside my overly-confused mind, she looks at me with despairing yet loving eyes, and says 'Michael. Thank you for everything. Your kids, look at them now. They're all so successful. You brought them up well. Your grandchildren are here too, you know? They keep asking "Why is grandpa asleep?" Hahaha. They're so cute! I'd bring them over here, but I figured they'd be too scared to see you and their parents would call me a "bad grandmother". Sigh. I'm thankful that I've spent my life with you... and that you spent yours with mine. I love you, Michael. I will see you soon. I promise. Goodbye.' Suddenly, her tears started overflowing and dripped onto my subtle reflection. I know I've seen her before. I swear. A young man who looks strangely like me comes over to the woman and comforts her then takes her away from me. <i>No! Don't!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No one came over to me for a long while now. <i>Have they left?</i> I think so. I hear a lot of footsteps again around me. Heavy ones. <i>Wait.</i> I see myself going closer to those lights. <i>I'm being lifted! What the--</i> 'STOP!' someone yells, 'Close the lid first, idiots!' <i>Lid? What lid?</i> I see that something dark and big approaches and closes me from the outside... even from my own subtle reflection. <i>What's going on? </i>It's so dark in here. I feel so alone. I <u>am</u> alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I see the world again, after a while. The only difference is, I can see the blue sky. <i>Wow. I love the sky.</i> I hear people speaking and, as far as I could make out, praying. <i>Praying for what?</i> I hear a man with a deep voice recite a prayer from one of those funerals. That's creepy. <i>Could somebody just tell me what is going on?!</i> No one does. I see a group of people gather around me and blocks out the sky from my view. I could recognize the woman who called me "Michael" and the strange man who looked like me among them. They started crying. <i>What? Don't!</i> Their tears dropped and drizzled over me, but I don't get wet at all. In each of their hands, they hold a yellow flower, and one by one, they started throwing it over me. <i>Now that's weird. Thanks, I guess?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
'Close it.' someone says. <i>Again?! No, wait! DON'T!</i> It was too late, I was blocked out from the world again. All I see and feel now is darkness. Never-ending darkness. Around me, I could hear the creaking and cracking of what it seems to be metal. <i>Gears! These are gears I hear!</i> I feel gravity acting weird. <i>Hmm. I'm being brought down! What. Is. Going. On?!</i> Then the gears stop and I hear nothing again. I feel different now.<b></b> I feel like <u>dying</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A 'thug'-ish sound constantly happens. And every time it does, I seem to get heavier. Or is it the box that does? Not sure. Something keeps pushing me downward, like keeping me from getting up. <i>Maybe it's the weight?</i> I ask myself. Then a final and really loud 'thug' booms then it stops. Nothing more happened. Just constant silence and darkness.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Am I alone? What happened to everybody? What to happened here? What happened to <u>me</u>? </i>I am deeply and utterly confused in this state. I think I'll go insane due to this. But, like a jolt of lightning, a realization comes to me. The "box", the despair of the people, the tears, the flowers, the lid, my subtle reflection... all these things could mean only one thing; I'm dead. Yes, I am dead. My time in this world is done. There is nothing more I could do. <i>Where do I go now?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But that's the beauty of it. We don't go anywhere else. We just die trapped in this body that we have been given, forever engulfed by the darkness that feeds upon us every moment.<i> </i><br />
<br />
It is only then I remember my life. I am, or at least was, a Christian. I prayed to God. Worshiped The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost.<i> </i>Throughout my life, I learned and respected other various religions. I see how people worship their god, and how each can vastly affect one's culture. And <u>that</u> is the greatest barrier that Man has ever come across. Wars, social separation, lives, are different and unequal due to this. The "morals" that each religion have are just nothing but nuisances. And then there was a time that I thought I was atheist, and I guess I am until now. I started doubting everything about every religion that ever existed. Is it really true? Or is it just some ruse to employ power over the weak? I may never know. We <u>will</u> never know.<br />
<br />
But, since I've already moved on from Life, it actually doesn't matter if you believe in Islam, Buddhism, or even Christianity! The Heaven or Nirvana you've all been aspiring and wished for is just the darkness waiting for us at the end of our road. And Hell is the demons that you haven't laid to rest yet, or even face. And God? Buddha? Allah? That's you. You, trying to keep up with the eternal darkness that plays with you, making you insane. Because all the acts that you have done in your life, all leads up to this; death. And no one is an exception to this. Death is your deity.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And as the formaldehyde begins to fade away from my body, I realize that there <u>is</u> no 'light at the end of the tunnel'. I feel like <u>dying</u>, I say? No, I am already dead. My body is rotting, and my soul is losing its sanity. And finally, I feel my eyes closing... closing from the darkness that is around me. And finally, I succumb to the real one that exists only in my eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Title: I've Told You Once<br />
Artist: Woe, Is Me<br />
Genre: Metalcore<br />
<br />
Hey guys. This paragraph is dedicated to explaining certain things you need to know about Woe, Is Me. First of all, four members of the band left last year, leaving the rest doubtful of their musical future. But thankfully they've found new members to fill in the void that was left. Their new clean vocalist, Hance Alligood has showed his very powerful voice in their past singles, namely 'Vengeance', 'Fame Over Demise acoustic', and 'A Story to Tell'. And up there's another one.<br />
<br />
The four members that left WIM recently formed their own band in, what I see, retaliation. This they called 'Issues'. In their single, 'King of Amarillo' you can see them hurling lyrical insults towards WIM. But lookee here, WIM does the same thing too. WIM, in my opinion, has the winning side on these "lyrical insults". Listen to this song for proof.<br />

After a loooooooooooooooooong time of not posting anything, JGP is back with a new article. Well, first of all, I want to apologize and explain why we haven't been posting anything lately. We're sorry, if we've been idle for like, a bloody century. We've been busy with school and stuff, and we had a LOT of university entrance exams that we had to take care of. Sorry for that. We mean it.~</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks, Google, for this.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that being said, let's get this started.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's talk about K!! First of all, this is not exactly a review, since the entire season hasn't been leaked or streamed yet. Let's just call this a prereview. (not a sensible word, indeed.) Anyway, here we go.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><b>K</b></i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> is a 2012 anime</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> series animated by GoHands studio and directed by Shingo Suzuki. The show began airing</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> in Japan on October 4 ,2012. And Animax Asia has also been broadcasting it at the same time as Japan.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">First of all, what is the background of this show? What is it all about? For anime junkies, this question is not really important. But for people who are not that into anime but are looking for a good show, like me, this question is required as a way to determine whether or not we would want to watch the show. Well, K portrays a sort of Urban Clan-war. It's just a perfect portrayal of the modern world we live in with a battleground twist. And this is the one of the reasons why I considered watching this anime. A genius moving plot mixed with badassness, this anime is bound to make you ask for the releasing of more episodes after you've watched all the released ones.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">The show features Clans represented by different colors; such as Red and Blue, that are battling for a still unknown reason. The sort of protagonist is a high school student who has seemed to have been framed for a murder of a person under the Red King's banner. Now, everyone seems to be after this innocent dude, and he gets involved in hell lot of trouble.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Anime fan or not, I RECOMMEND you to watch the series. Here's the link of the online streaming:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="line-height: 115%;">CHAPTER
I</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"> It is November 6, 2098. The world has become a wasteland
filled with bandit scum and greedy, corrupt politicians. Women and their
children scour the streets for food and shelter, yet instead they are murdered,
raped, or sold into slavery. Gunshots and bomb explosions are heard almost
everyday, thus newborns are already acquainted with the sound. Men either leave
their families for wars, or just abandon them. It’s a hard time. It is hard
indeed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"> World War IV had stolen the past 10 years of the lives of
people. Families, along with tall buildings, perished. Guns are mere playthings
to young boys, whom were recruited at the young age of 10. Once they got in the
military, they never got out. They were never heard of again, probably dead due
to the battles. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"> But all of that is over. Endgame, as they would like to
call World War IV, ended with the assassination of Mark Prince III, the
dictator of the world. Everyone despised him, even his own men. He declared an
all-out war with all of the countries, spreading lies to one another causing
confusion and hostility among the nations for his own entertainment… watching
his nations kill one another. The assassin, whom was never discovered, released
confidential info known only to Mark Prince III and other associates to the
public revealing the truth. Shortly after, the hostility died down and
friendship among people loomed again. The worst was over… for now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"> Not all though wanted peace to be back. There were some
who still wanted that power, the power to rule the world like what Mark Prince
III did. They were just lurking in the shadows, waiting for their hosts and
vessels to come to them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"> A resistance was formed during the years of the war. It
was commonly referred to as The Resistance, as they have not named themselves
publicly. They tried their best to only show the tip of their iceberg, and it
never failed. The Resistance was run by a group of individuals who were
unregistered in The Book, a list of people who were under the dictatorship of
Mark Prince III (which was every single person in the world) may they be dead
or alive. They technically do not exist.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"> The topmost person among these individuals was a man
called The Mask. No one knew his real name, or how he looks. His face was
covered by a skin-colored cloth, and wore a black coat and tie all the time.
Always would he carry his cane around as if it was his sword unsheathed. And a
top hat for the finishing touch. Ominous is the feeling of everyone who would
go near him. Fear grasped anyone who talked to him. His voice sounds like a man
who is growing old and weak; but his physique is as a man who was at the peak
of his physical abilities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"> There were around a thousand members of The Resistance.
All of them had enough of the dictatorship which they have been treated. Some
have even tried to go against Mark Prince III but have failed miserably, often
leading to their deaths. Yes, they were desperate, but hope was always lurking
within themselves.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">

"<i>You want to know something funny? Even after everything you've done... I would have saved you.</i>"<br />
<br />
Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to 2009's award winning superhero game 'Batman: Arkham Asylum'. Now, it's back with a better combat system, a new plot, and the same ol' Dark Knight.<br />
<br />
The game was published on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and has a next one coming for the Wii U. A sandbox game game of its own, it gives the player the ability to freely roam around Arkham City. The classic stealth returns to give the player a sense of thrill. A better combat system returns, the Freeflow system, with new counters and better, wider range of moves for the Batman. New gadgets also arise which help the player in certain parts of the game, including fights with the enemies.<br />
<br />
The plot revolves around Arkham City which was put in the center of Gotham, after the events of Arkham Asylum. Batman goes in to investigate, but he discovers even greater secrets, thus setting up the story of the game. The game features characters that weren't in the first game, such as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Tim Drake/Robin III/Red Robin II, Dick Grayson/Robin I/Nightwing, Hugo Strange, Solomon Grundy, Ra's Al Ghul (he <u>was</u> in Arkham Asylum, but he was dead there), Talia Al Ghul, Azrael, Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, and many others. The game is actually quite easy, to be honest. The bosses have patterns which are easy to understand and counter. So if you're a new time gamer, don't worry. Do not worry at all.<br />
<br />
Graphics are great too. While roaming around, you may get the chance to get a glimpse of Gotham which is absolutely breathtaking. When fighting enemies, attacks may be zoomed in and slowed out to show a finishing blow which is awesome. You can say that the graphics are a bit too "shiny" though.<br />
<br />
I never really noticed to the music of the game. It's either it was too quiet, or I didn't really care at all. I could only hear it from time to time, but the most prominent time of it is when I fight enemies or I'm being searched for. Aside form the original musical score of the game, they also released a soundtrack with the songs pulling inspiration from Batman himself. Such songs are 'Deranged' by Coheed and Cambria, 'Drown in You' by Daughtry, 'Mercenary' by Panic! at the Disco, and 'Trophy Widow' by The Damned Things.<br />
<br />
After or during the main plot, there are side missions that you could do. The side missions have a short story of their own. These can be completely quickly, but others may take some time, such as finding Riddler Trophies around the city. Speaking of Riddler Trophies, there are also Riddler Secrets which you need to find out. There are other skins you can use for Batman if you get bored. You can also use Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing by redeeming codes. There are also some Challenge Maps to test your skills. But after all of these are said and done, you may get a feeling of emptiness 'cause there is practically nothing to do.<br />
<br />
Batman: Arkham City may be an excellent game and all, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it could've been more. After seeing the ending of the game, I'm absolutely sure that the next game after this would be more than this.<br />

<br />
Adventure Quest Worlds or simply known as AQW is a browser game developed by Artix Entertainment.<br />
<br />
Adventure Quest Worlds can be played directly in your browser without any special plugins needed. The graphics are good for a browser game. It's also a good casual game. AQW is also considered kid-friendly.<br />
<br />
Character creation is done during the registration of your account, where you get to choose 4 classes which are Warrior, Rouge, Mage, and Priest. The level system has 2 parts, one is for their level, which is basically their stats, and the other one is their class rank, which is for their class skills. Though players have only 4 classes to choose from at the beginning, as they level up they get to change their class, thus its unique multi-class system. If a player decides to change their class, their level will remain the same but their class rank will go down to one; but if you change back to your old class having a high rank, your class rank will return to the previous one.<br />
<br />
The combat system of AQW is very simple as players just click the monster they find and use skills. You get experience points and gold as you kill monsters. Doing quests in AQW include killing monsters and getting a desired item for a quest.<br />
<br />
You could upgrade your AQW using real cash to experience more content of the game, such as class advancement, areas and quests.<br />
<br />
Simply put, AQW is a good casual type browser game.<br />

'Jump Ultimate Stars' is 2D fighting game for the DS developed by Ganbarion and published by Nintendo. It is the sequel of the game 'Jump Super Stars', also for the DS. The game was released last November 23, 2006. There have been no plans for the game to be released outside of Japan. This is largely due to the international licensing issues for the plethora of series represented. The game boasts 305 (56 which are battle characters) from 41 different Shonen Jump manga series.<br />
<br />
If you're a manga and anime fan, you will surely love this game. One of the most popular animes and manga; Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Death Note, Dragon Ball, Hunter X Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Rurouni Kenshin, Black Cat, Gintama, D. Gray Man, Shaman King, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Slam Dunk, Prince of Tennis, Eyeshield 21, etc, are in this game. Now you'll see Ichigo Bankai battling Naruto Kyuubi and some of you're anime dream fights. You'll definitely love this game.<br />
<br />
The bulk of the gameplay is the use of komas ("panel" in Japanese, referring to the panel of a manga comic) that represents your charcter. Komas comes in various shapes and sizes, taking up from one to eight blocks. There are three types of komas: Battle, Support, and Helper. Battle komas are the playable characters you use in battle, they go for about 4 to 8 blocks. Support komas are characters which do damage, status and healing effects which are like assists in the game 'Marvel vs. Capcom', and they go for around 2 to 3 blocks. Helper komas are panels which boost Battle komas which go for a block. Each koma has a certain nature: Knowledge, Laughter, and Power which act like a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" way with Power beating Knowledge, Knowledge beating Laughter, and Laughter beating Power, which does more damage to the weaker type.<br />

<div>
In order to K.O. opponents, you have to drain their health or knock them out of the stage. The game is similar to the fighting game series 'Super Smash Bros'. Stages of the game are like the pages from a manga comic book. You can build your own koma deck, and you can evolve komas in to a stronger koma. The game also features Wi-Fi modes if you want to fight online. </div>

<div>
Personally, this is the best fighting game for the DS. I suggest it even if it isn't on English. I dare you to play this game. Any otaku out there should probably know every series. Also, if you're looking for an anime series, why not play this game to look for some? You can see dream fights of animes here. And if you think there isn't any good game for the DS... here it is. I've got to say, this is one of the games that DS owners should play before it's "too late".</div>

So I was thinking last night, should we make a video blog for the site? I mean, there are some things that we could explain better when we're saying it aloud. Truth be told, I've always wanted to try it. You know... being in front of a camera, talking and looking pretty... w-wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Seriously though, I'm really excited about this, so I think we should make one.<br />
<br />
Wait around for updates regarding this, guys! See you around.<br />

<br />
<i>"What if I told you I could consume knowledge like no one you've ever met and I've actually passed the bar?"</i><br />
That's the exact line that caught my interest to watch this show.<br />
<br />
'Suits' is a drama series starring Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams. It tells the story of young man named Mike Ross (Adams) who stumbles upon a job interview for Harvard lawyers who would want to work in Pearson-Hardman, a law firm, as Harvey Specter's (Macht) associate. The only catch is, that Mike Ross doesn't have a law degree and doesn't come from Harvard... but has actually passed the bar. <u>And</u>, a "counter"-catch if you must, has an incredible mind, to the point that he can memorize a sheet of paper full of numbers and symbols in a single glance. Yeah. He's that good. He's hired and does cases here and there, with the usual obstacles. But the main problem is, that he doesn't have a degree and that both he and Harvey lied. But they're doing a pretty good job.<br />
<br />
I just finished the first series that was composed of 12 episodes. The ending was one of the most gravity-defying cliffhangers that I have ever watched. Good news that they announced a second season that would be released on June this year, which would obviously pick up from where it left.<br />
<br />
The soundtrack for the show wasn't that interesting. In fact, I barely noticed it. The only music that I remember is the opening track; Greenback Boogie by Ima Robot. That, I absolutely loved. I found it catchy and such.<br />
<br />
The script was awesome. Truth be told, my ambition is to be a lawyer, but I only understood about 25% of what these guys were talking about. That may make me sound ignorant, but I'm not. How about <u>you</u> try watching this with no interest of the law at all? Let's see what happens then. Well, anyway... I found each episode very interesting. It draws me in and leaves me in awe every time they close a case. I can't believe that there are people that good! Oh wait, it's just a show... but the script is real. Meaning, that whoever thought about that, is someone <u>that</u> smart. So, kudos to you!<br />
<br />
'Suits' just made it into the list of my favorite shows. And now I'm just waiting for its second season with higher hopes and expectations. I'm urging you guys to watch it! Ciao!<br />

"<i>That's my sweetheart in there. Wherever she is, that's where my home is.</i>"<br />
This line here just stuck to my mind when I watched this. I could just feel the hope coming from it.<br />
<br />
Okay. Okay. Before we jump into any conclusions, no girl made me watch this. I just happen to pass by a friend watching this and I watched it myself. I borrowed it and watched the whole film. But in all fairness? It's a great film. So here's a short review about it.<br />
<br />
This film was based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks of the same name which was released in 1996, with the film last 2004. The two main characters were portrayed by Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. The movie tells the story of an old man telling another story to an old woman about two lovers and their trials (Gosling and McAdams). <br />
<br />
First things first, the storyline. Pretty much predictable. Basic "Romeo and Juliet" concept. But this film was revamped to a "different" style. They added a "storytelling" effect with the constant twists one expects.<br />
<br />
Its setting was in the WWII era. So you won't be able to see modern age technology. They used old kind of fashion in clothing, vintage cars, the vocabulary, and of course the scenery. It was pretty much done accurately, so no complaints here.<br />
<br />
The soundtrack is beautiful. There was the constant playing of Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 4, which fit well into the scenes, due to McAdams portraying a girl who knows how to play the piano. If I remember correctly, not a joyful melody was played here. All were melancholic with minor tunes. But I find it perfect.<br />
<br />
So that's pretty much it. I couldn't talk about the movie that much, and I don't know why. I wish I could, I really do. I heard that it made some people cry, but I didn't, and again I don't know why. To be honest, though, it <u>is</u> a pretty touching movie and I could feel myself "touched" by it. So watch it. Pretty great film. Have yet to read the novel, so check out if I might make a review of it too. See ya!<br />

<br />
"<i>I don't belong here.</i>"<br />
Guess who said that? It's Batman. Yup. Good 'ol Batsy being broody.<br />
<br />
This movie is the latest among the DC Universe Animated Original Movies. It was based on 'JLA: Tower of Babel' arc penned by Mark Waid (who is currently writing Daredevil). There are a few alterations here and there, but still another wonderful movie made by DC.<br />
<br />
The voice actors are veterans in the Animated Universe. Two of them, would of course be Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly, who voiced Batman and Superman respectively in their own animated series years ago. Susan Eisenberg also voiced Wonder Woman here, who voiced the same character in the Justice League/Unlimited series too. A hardcore fan of any of these series would sense a feeling of nostalgia when watching this. Think of it as a reunion between the "heroes".<br />
<br />
The story is, as I said earlier, based on the 'Tower of Babel' arc in the JLA series. The arc was released back in 2000, if I remember correctly. To keep a long story short, the super-villain gets hold of the JLA's weakness and attempts to kill them. This is the basis of both the movie and the arc itself. In some parts, you need to be a comic fan (or at least know the story) to understand certain scenes. It's a fun film to watch, but it lacks the constant thrill and suspense that I find. Mostly, the film was action-packed with explosions and fight scenes here and there. More or less, the story was mediocre and didn't create much of an impact for me.<br />
<br />
Since this is just a new movie, I'm expecting some reactions here and there all of a sudden. I have watched past DCU Animated Original Movies (namely Gotham Knight, Under the Red Hood, Superman/Batman Apocalypse) and I have like all of them. This one however was average and un-thrilling. But if you're DC fan (or at least a comic book geek), you would enjoy this movie, no matter what.<br />
<br />

Call of Duty is one of the most well-known First-Person-Shooter games, it is also known of being sold for over a million copies worldwide. If you've played Call of Duty, you know why this game rocks, but if you haven't played it yet, I'm forcing you to play it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Call of Duty: Black Ops, an FPS, was developed by Treyarch and published by Activision for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii. It also has a DS version which was developed by N-Space. Call of Duty: Black Ops is the third series of the game developed by Treyarch, just like Call of Duty: World at War.</div>
<div>
Due to the sales, it breaks the record of its predecessor, Modern Warfare 2. Activision reported it has earned $1 billion in sales and on August 3, 2011, it had been confirmed to sell over 25 million copies worldwide.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Call of Duty: Black Ops is like any other FPS where you use guns; your primary weapons (AK-47, M16, DRAGUNOV), secondary weapons (Pistols and Launchers), and grenades. Oh, and yes, we can still use a knife. The player also has stances, like standing, crouch, and prone. Like other FPS games, you have your team which help you decrease the number of enemies. When the screen glows red, it means you're in low health, wherein other players do is to crouch or hide to regenerate your health back. When the enemies throw a grenade at you, it will show a grenade icon, and can be thrown back or you can just run away. There are new weapons in the game. They are the crossbows with bolts and explosives, Dragon Breath rounds and the ballistic knife.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The game also has a campaign which is the story of the game. It show the objectives of the game to move forward and checkpoints which lead the way. Each mission you can see troops which accompanied you throughout the mission, also you can use a helicopter which you're partner moves while you shoot enemies. The game also its best feature, Multiplayer. The online multiplayer mode have missions like Team Deathmatch which see who have the most kills on the team and Capture the Flag, which players take other flags and put it on their base. Additionally, there is Free For All which players don't have teams. Furthermore, the game has over 14 different maps. It has Combat Training which players fight AI alone or with friends. The game also have a split-screen for the multiplayer. For the first time you can record your clips from online games. Steam is an exclusive platform for the PC, and it is protected by Valve Anti-Cheat. The Wii version of the game includes voice chat which you can talk with other players online.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Online Multiplayer mode is cool.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
The game is set during the Cold War. Missions take place in various locations in the world, such as the Ural Mountains, Russia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Hong Kong, Laos, Vietnam, and the Artic Circle. The player controls an SAD/SOG operative, Alex Mason, who is strapped on a chair in an interrogation room. Most of the missions played are flashbacks of Mason. Black Ops features several historical figures like John F. Kennedy, Robert McNamara, and Fidel Castro.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The graphics of the game are more realistic. The soundtrack is good too; it features 'Sympathy for the Devil' by The Rolling Stones, which is played during a gameplay sequence and also in the credits. Eminem's 'Won't Back Down' featuting Pink is used for the credits as well.</div>
<div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Are you coming or what?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
For me Call of Duty: Black Ops is the real deal. Though the story is very short, the gameplay makes up for it. For me, this the best FPS. You might feel dizzy sometimes, but you'll get along. Playing online may give a bit of a challenge. Also there are zombies here. Call of Duty fans have played this game, why not you try it too? You'll love this game. THIS. IS. THE. BEST. GAME.<br />

Hey guys! Here comes another review, which is about a game called MapleStory!<br />
<br />
MapleStory is a Free-to-Play MMORPG published by Nexon. It is a fun, 2D side-scrolling with cute cartoony graphics, which are chibby/anime-ish. It is also one of the most popular Free-to-Play MMORPGs because of it's massive community!<br />
<br />
Players start in Maple Island, which is the tutorial area of the game, and you start as a classless novice learning the aspects of the game and its "feel". The only downside of the game is that it is a grindfest, where you must kill monsters again and again to gain experience. But for you to have a fun grinding, try playing with a friend. It is also fun to grind alone.<br />
<br />
The quests in MapleStory are also fun because of it's side-scrolling genre, like a platform game that involves jumping from platform to platform. Another thing about the quests are the Party Quests or commonly known as PQs, which commonly have a series of puzzles that the party must solve by cooperating with one another or sometimes by killing as many monsters in a certain amount of time. PQs probably changed the 'grindfest' concept of the game.<br />
<br />
Oh, and another thing about the game is that it is always updated ever since it was released; compared to the early days of MapleStory, the world was very small with only one landmass called Victoria Island. Today, MapleStory already has new classes with a more massive world. If you like games which are always updated and never gets old, this is a game for you!<br />

Hey guys! I am back for another game review, and it's about StarCraft for the PC.<br />
<br />
StarCraft is a science fiction real-time strategy game developed by Blizzard Entertainment and was released released in 1998. It is one of the best RTS games of all time.<br />
<br />
Starcraft is set in the 26th century, with the game having three races; Terran, Protoss, and Zerg.<br />
<b>The Terran</b> is the Human race of StarCraft where they are trying to adapt into the situation. They use technology from Earth. They serve as the middle ground between the two other races. They have access on good military weapons, such as tanks and nuclear weapons.<br />
<b>The Protoss</b> is the Humanoid race of StarCraft with advance technology and psionic abilities. Their psionic abilities have the advantage over their structures such as the unit's fire psy-like beams.<br />
<b>The Zerg</b> is the insect-like alien race of StarCraft which is somewhat weaker. They rely on numbers and speed to overwhelm enemies.<br />
<br />
The great thing about its gameplay is how the races are well-balanced, for example is how one race could counter the other or even counter its own when controlled properly. The balance of the game makes it strategically fun, using endless combinations of units to make endless strategies to defeat your opponent. If you've played games like Warcraft and Yuri, you'll be able to use your abilities here because you'll be building your base, conquer other places, and destroy bases of the enemy.<br />
<br />
Each race has 10 missions on the single player Campaign Mode, for a total of 30 missions to complete. The great thing about the missions is that it could give you information about the units you are using which could help you make a good combination for good strategy.<br />
<br />
Playing on Battle.Net, a gaming online service provided by Blizzard, or even playing via local area network, also known as LAN, are one of the greatest ways to play with friends using your personalized strategy and your friend's strategy to defeat one another.<br />
<br />
Starcraft is an amazing RTS game because of its balanced gameplay, great multiplayer features, endless strategies to use, and with a great storyline mixed with great cinematics!<br />
