fighting over food...

I am not much of a people person.... therefore visiting not too "close" relatives or friends after a long gap is a bit of a chore for me...sure i love them and everything...but....(sigh!)after the initial ice breaking and the pleasantries there is an awkwardness that lasts for a while .....then the same questions are repeated twice thrice..till the food arrives...and the battle begins....

When they force you to eat(out of politeness)..you say ive had enough(again out of poilteness)...they donot give up(again (sigh!) out of politeness)...and the one with the greater powers of persuasion wins . Im bit of a foodie and give in pretty easily.

However... i have seen epic battles fought ....tomato sauce ....spilled...lives changed... In these polite (but fierce) tussles and have had the privilege of fighting alongside,some of the greatest refusers and forcers.(?)

My mom is our family refuser and forcer ... and she has downed many a foe by energetically refusing with hand gestures,and putting on a pathetic facade. She forces you to eat by literally shoving food under peoples noses.. Its true she lacks subtlety..and finesse but makes up for it by vigourous and rather childish body movements.

My mom's mom is the master... being able to refuse using anecdotes and sheer logic to change the subject .While forcing one to eat using the power of her culinary skills.

My sudden reason for publishing this is because....
Its this time of the year again,when our persuasions powers are tested while we hop from house to house fighting battles over whether to eat or not to eat.....

when i played devil may cry 4 on PC

To tell the truth im only a casual gamer.... my laptop has a 512 mb ati radeon3450 which is a pretty decent card only at its very very best....Still i dont play all that much ... even if i do i rarely finish any of the games,so..it was with little caution i approached Devil May Cry 4 on PC..

The opening sequence was impressive...(ok that was an understatement...it was really really really really....friggin bloody awesome!!!!!!!)Now coming to the game it started as really nice ... spectacular visuals..pretty interesting story ..wonderful cinematics..and some truly brilliant fight
sequences..and some very well designed characters..

then about 25 % into the game i realised some thing.... THE PLATFORMING AND CAMERA ANGLES SUCK!!!!!...they really spoil what could have been a great game..into a pretty ..decent game(...overstatement...)

about 50 % into the game i got stuck due to the above reasons...it was pretty frustrating..so i went to gamefaqs or ign...or something... to get the walkthrough guess what i found ??

Every single boss and level is repeated again as you go back to where you started going through the same areas killing the same enemies...but with a different character... i know its done in few games but since im a casual gamer i donot like it at all........ and there are plenty of better things for me to do....that repeating already repetitive levels.

currently i donot have much motivation to continue with the game ... i might
complete it someday.......in the distant future....

Ashton Kutcher

Just recently i finished watching all 8 seasons of That 70s show... It wasnt as bad as i thought it would be .

However.... little more recently i happened to see an interview of Ashton Kutcher about a twitter feud between him and the entire CNN network. It made me realise this dude is smart ! .... despite the stupid..immature..dumb..cocky..stoned...portrayals hes done in all the 8 seasons of the show and punk'd and dude wheres my car...

he is actually pretty articulate, knowlegable and knows what he is doing..and saying
Also...here is the bombshell..he happens to be a bio chemical engineering major as well...!!

impressed i immediately saw the movies butterfly effect and the guardian...and whoa...... this guy can act as well.....

i have gotta say im very impressed.... almost a fan...

Naruto

I have been a Naruto Fan since 2006 and followed the series ever since...
I like it despite the excessively long fillers(dont know what a filler is ?... GET OUTTA HERE!!!)Rather lazy animation ... and its outdated concept (ninjas ?!??). It was my introduction to the wonderful world of anime/manga(dbz... not counted).

I saw it by accident on CN with a little cousin,I became a bigger fan than him and ended up watching the 200 something episodes in about 3 hoplessly addicted months. As i saw more animes like death note and FMA..Slowly but surely Naruto began to lose its appeal though the story is still very interesting , Gaara vs Rock Lee still is the best fight ever!!! and Sasuke remains as coolest character ever.. . I now read only the manga and it has not disappointed like the anime . Shame.... If there werent as many fillers in the anime it would have been interesting for so much longer.

Still following the series though just skipping the fillers...and hopefully they will bring back some of the original tracks from the previous soundtrack *sniff!* ......
