Page Break

After publishing this post and then adding to another, which is as of this post scheduled to be posted soon enough, it is realized that the "more" and/or page break addition to blogger is a much needed thing for Solve Unamusement.

Kingdom Hearts

Speaking of the PS2, Kingdom Hearts is less than 15 USDs on the sticker. For at least 60 hours of gameplay, if not more for side quests and a lot of extra stuff included (like a secret ending). Break that down mathematically and we are talking .25 USDs (That's a quarter or 25 cents) for a full hour of entertainment, or less if the game is delved into deeper.

The game has some very nice themes with a real time combat system along with teaming up with some of Disney's core characters. Though some of the Disney characters are somewhat annoying due to not having some of their original voice acting. Like they could actually get Robin Williams to voice over for a game, for Genie? So this gets a pass as most the other characters sound perfect. Not to mention the game has excellent music, though a good chunk of it is j-pop its still not bad.

Final Fantasy fans should have already played this game due to the horrendous amount of characters within it. This blogger/writer hasn't played more than maybe two FF games and could recognize most of the FF characters and place them to a game.

The PS2

We all know that our economy be it worldly or just us Americans, is slightly shitty. Though that doesn't mean there isn't anything new out and about. This blog is mostly about free and/or cheap amusements along with anything that is worth its current price tag. The PS2 (Playstation 2) is one of those things. While it was a good system during its run it is now only 60 USDs for a new system with most used games not breaking the 20 USD limit themselves, this makes for a very good investment.

Sony has even stated that the system will be supported, with even new titles every so often, for the next 2 - 3 years. This makes the system very worthwhile for anyone who's not really touched at the PS2 for one reason or another, like myself. Most older systems are stuck to pawn shops and flea markets but the PS2 is still mostly held in a lot of retail stores. (Most importantly EB Games and others of their nature.)

The system has a very large catalog of games, ranging from PC ports to original system only games as well as long running series like the Final Fantasy and the Shin Migami games (Mostly consisting of Persona 3, personally.) Games range from action, shooter, RPG (Mostly of the JRPG) and even an odd silly/random tittle here and there. If you liked the SNES for its RPG (again, mostly JRPG) and still play those games (emulation or otherwise) then the PS2 is mostly going to be your friend, as well.

Short and simple version of this post is go out and look for a PS2 if you've not already got one. Games are cheap, and only getting cheaper! So many games, and cheap games, that it is definitely worth the 50 or so, USDs it will cost you for the system itself.

The World Is Just Awesome

This was done a couple years back, give or take, but is still played once in awhile on the Discovery Channel and, frankly, is one the the best Discovery Channel linked advertisements this writer has seen. Though not sure how much that is worth.

The song is very true, especially from a scientific standpoint. The world is, indeed, just awesome. So much to it that so many people have not discovered and learned even the smallest of things and we, as the human race, still learn things each and every day.

Balloon Land

It is a 1935 color cartoon amply titled based on its subject matter. A city/town/world made of and by balloons. The people, animals, rocks and trees are all made of that thin little plastic/rubber (Rubber as this is 1935, we are talking about) and they have only one care/fear and that is the Pincushion Man.

Disney's Fantasia

When Fantasia came out (at least on VHS) this blogger could not have been that far into elementary school. At this time such a long and music driven movie tends to cause an urge to sleep. However such a movie was usually played as background for such things as Lego building or drawing in an art pad.

There were a few specific spots within the (think two hour) movie which caused a stop and pause on what was being done and given the film its full attention. One of those being the excerpt involving dancing flowers, mushrooms, and other such things during the songs of the Nutcracker Suite.

The Infected (28 Days Later)

Brought in by 28 Days Later, at least to this blogger's knowledge, "The Infected" are something of a sub-species of Zombie. Also know as the "fast zombie" and sometimes the suspect of scrutiny as "real zombies".

Pixar Parody

Pixar is a personal favorite here, at Solve Unamusement, this will be learned slowly but surely as there is just so much of the randomness to find and offer as amusement that sometimes things are accidentally forgotten.

Karoshi Suicide Salaryman

A very simple puzzle solving game where the objective is to kill your character.

Copy-Paste Game Description:

Description

"Karoshi" is a Japanese word and means "death by overwork". In this game many things are not what you'd expect and the goal of each level is counter-intuitive: you need to die.

Each stage presents a new challenge. There are several objects you can use to solve puzzles, and in later levels the game will even break it's own rules to surprise you.

50 clever levels and a boss fight at the end. We hope you have fun (killing yourself)!

If you have played the Game Maker version, YES this is an official Flash version!

Controls

Directional arrows move, up jumps and space bar is shoot your weapon.

The game can be found here at Armor Games. There is also a sequal.

Scrumdiddlyumptious

From the maker of the Alice video and song that was posted some time ago (it is the second in the link blog post) comes a few other interesting ones. One such particular comes from one of Solve Unamusement's favorite movies. No, not books as we can't read over here.

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series

The TV show/anime/4kids redo of Yu-Gi-Oh! was rather popular with myself and it wasn't until recently that The Abridged Series was brought to Solve Unmusement's attention. At this time there was already a good solid following but this is typical for amusement posts. Late to the party, and other nonsense of that nature.

A few notes before watching are that the series starts off slow and is most enjoyable if the characters are known. That being if you've seen at least one or two episodes this series is a bit more funny. However such a thing isn't needed and only adds to the humor if you're a fan of having memories mocked and poked at.

The Only Good Bug Is A Dead Bug

Doing some redirecting and backtracking on when is evil cool? got to a specific post which reminded this writer of something a bit special in the amusement category.

Anyone who's seen the movie probably has a good idea as to what is going to be posted soon enough and for an extra kick, think this will be the first post which the "page break" feature/addition/whatever shall be included in a Solve Unamusement post.

Smith, Agent Smith.

Last but certainly not least, we speak of the most epic and evil of villains. (Agent) Smith has to be a personal favorite here, at Solve Unamusement, for the simple fact that he has a very systematic and well thought out (usually) manner which he does things. Compared to your average villain, bad guy, etc Smith keeps an almost positive air about himself. Pompous, some might say, but this is not a horrible thing for such a "person".

Smith is/was an Agent of the Matrix System which allowed him many powers beyond the norm. If you've seen the movies I need not explain and if you have not than you do not, rather have not, own(ed) a TV or any form of such entertainment for a few years. He's rather powerful and the most powerful being within the Matrix during the first film.

The Matrix HISHE

How It Should Have Ended has their version/take on The Matrix trilogies "finale". Have to say, this blogger/writer agrees with everything. Especially the giant robot monkey things to fight flying robots. That just doesn't fully make sense.

Matrix Slim or Slim Matrix

The Matrix movies (all three of them) have been playing on the television for awhile over the last month or two and while the first is the best and the third ended disappointing, the movies are still rather awesome.
