(note: this might be old but I had other things to do so I'm just getting this up here while it's still relevant)
It seems that ol' Angry Joe getting different lately and that it's not sitting well with the community at large: namely him announcing his 2 month vacation from making game reviews and topping it off by disabling comments and ratings after the uproar he received. What led to the backlash was his vacation only applying to game reviews and not his other videos, which technically makes this kind of outrage understandable.
And as you can tell by my way of viewing it, I'm somewhat more understanding of Angry Joe than the community given that making reviews in general takes a while, especially with him having to do other responsibilities in life regarding health and chores just as I have to. However, I do not think disabling comments and ratings just after announcing this is a smart idea and is actually kind of shady; maybe it's because of the whole experience of seeing how a certain rad fem "critic" deal with criticism but I know AJ should know better. All he might end up doing is fanning the flames so the best thing he should do is well not. But then again he did admit on his response video that he would never do this kind of shutting down comments and ratings thing like 3 years ago and now he went back on it; talk about hypocrisy.
In regards to his vacation though, I'm going to do something after seeing this: I'm going to give Joe the benefit of the doubt by just waiting for his game reviews to come out. Why? because well as I have said, I understand the need to do other responsibilities in life and trying to get freshened up outside of making content (heck I have plenty of material to make after making this blog post) and in that sense I think he's right to do so. I know it may not be a popular opinion to espouse in light of this but my gripes with his handling of the backlash (and him claiming that the "haters" are after him and being subbed to those Young Turk jerks), but keeping calm and not do anything rash is the best way to handle it; though to be fair he should apply the vacation to his other reviews of which I don't care for as much as his game ones, that would help.

My Review of Ohrai's Metal Gear Works
It's July 13th, and today is the 30th anniversary of the Metal Gear franchise, one of my favorite gaming franchises of all time and I'm going to celebrate by reviewing the artworks of one of the best artists in history (though Konami is making a "game" to the dismay of anyone who cares about the series but I must digress for the sake of my sanity).
And of course I'm going to play art critic because why not? I don't have much to do as of this post. But anyway, for the sake of maintaining some atmosphere of positivity, I'm going to focus on his weakest works to the best ones since what else to end it on a positive note to celebrate a revered and respected franchise?
And before continuing, must note that I'm using my preferred nicknames for the games listed that don't have the Solid in them. Why? because that's how I wished they were called; it pays to have watched AVGN's video on the inconsistent sequel titles and I figure I would follow his words on them since I agree with him but that's another topic for another time.
So let's start on his cover for Metal Gear 4: Sons of Liberty (AKA Solid 2):
Good lord, it could some work; Snake looks like he's on crack or some other stilumant drug. That or he took way too much meds to keep himself awake. And I get it we all need something to keep ourselves awake in our times we're active but this just doesn't sound right. Also isn't he supposed to have his left eye shut for accuracy? And they appear to be purple for some reason as well as his face but moving on. Fortune's boobs look like freakin' torpedoes (and bigger than they were in the game!), not that I think it's a bad thing (and in fact it's a plus in my book) but of course that plus is outweighed by her legs looking too skinny for her physique and her face making her look like Michael Jackson to an extent. Fat Man seems to be either lacking a lower torso and his arms look bigger than they should be in the games but maybe it's the perspective of him crouching; not to mention his face looks purple for no reason (almost like a purple people eater!). Vamp looks alright, though him behind a hapless SEAL dude threw me off for a while, making me think he's either part of Dead Cell or "Snake Plisskin". A little odd that the cover depicts his death which seems a little violent to me but whatever, preferably I rather have his corpse slumped in front him or held up and having his blood sucked out like that one scene in the game. Overall, outside of those flaws, everything else seems alright, though those Gurlukovich Soldiers on the top right corner look like they're astronauts floating in space (to quote Pennywise, "They float...they all float").
Another cover for MG4:
Yeah another flawed one, though this one seems slightly better IMO. Raiden looks like he's either on botox or a member of Deathklok (or even that one black haired dude who's name escapes me); and his hair is blonde for some reason. Solidus Snake, while he's alright in terms of the depiction, looks like Ogma from Metal Slug 3D and his eye seems to have lost his pupil (perhaps it's due to the resolution displayed). Revolver Ocelot, while also drawn fine, looks almost like a different person and where it not for his SAA revolver, I probably would be confused as to his identity. "Mr. X", the blatant expy of Gray Fox, looks like he's having bowel problems and resisting the urge to go to the bathroom, almost like what Johnny Sasaki and his relatives constantly have. Over than those flaws, again everything seems alright.
On to the cover for Metal Gear 5: Snake Eater (AKA Solid 3):
Well this one seems to be more of an improvement over the over two but still some minor nitpicks. For one, Eva's face makes her look like she's in her thirties, but at least she's rocking that rack if you know what I mean. Also the Boss's gun looks slightly different than it was in the game and her eyes seem blackish for some reason like she's getting posessed. That and it seems to be cut off from the left edge, making it almost incomplete, otherwise I would be ranking this as one of the better covers Ohrai made.
Another cover for Metal Gear 5:
Another good one, and it seems more complete so to say. Though one flaw is the redundant use of the Boss in this, I know the rest of the entries repeat some of the characters over and over but this one to me feels unnecessary. Personally I stick with just having the Boss in the background and not also in the bottom right corner riding her horse; it should have been just the horse itself for all I care. That and Eva's right eye is slightly crooked, but it's pretty minor to say the least. Otherwise, a pretty good pic from Ohrai-san.
The cover for Metal Gear 3 (AKA Solid 1):
While predating the previous entries, this one seems to be a lot better and on par with the first cover for MG5. It's safe to say this might be one of my picks but I'll get to that later. Not only is this well drawn, but the composition is clear as hell to me; I can make out what side is the protagonist's and what is the antagonist's and it seems to be like getting the viewer on the edge of his/her seat. Though Liquid Snake's hair seems alitte short or that he seems slightly balder than he is, making look like John Smith from Disney's Pocahontas. That and Otacon's hair looks girlish for some reason but those are about it. A stunning work for a stunning game, that's pretty fitting so to say.
The cover for Metal Gear: Portable Ops (though I must disclose that I have not played the game yet though I have a PSP now and I probably should seek out a physical copy of it, and that I might not be able to know the names of some of the characters involved):
Now this one might be another top pick for me as this not only showing a clear composition about the sides involved but also seems slightly more action packed but not completely constant. Though again some nitpicks, like that dead woman Big Boss is next to seems white as snow for some reason and that the Cunningham guy seems fat (though maybe he's like that in the game). Over than those details, this one is great and on par with the last one. Though the guy with the white headband (who might be Roy Campbell if I remember) looks like Marco Rossi and that the gal in the middle with blue hair reminds me of Alice from that meh Metal Slug Attack game for some reason. I don't know why I needed to type that last sentence out but that's just a hunch I have.
So in conclusion the first two are weak, the middle two are fine (though the first one had potential to be part of the best), and the last two are superb. And if you ask me the best one out of all the covers Ohrai made, I'd say the one for Metal Gear PO takes the cake since it manages to be action packed and getting the viewers more effectively with most of the characters seeming to get ready to fight at a moment's notice.
Happy 30th Anniversary, Metal Gear! May you hope to be...um, remembered fondly by those that played the games in general.

Prepare to Cringe: Crash is the "Dark Souls" of Platformers
It has been almost a week since the Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy came out for the "PS4" and if you ask me, it looks just as good as the originals, though there are some gripes I have with the game (especially in regards to the voice acting of which I feel is questionable in most parts). But alas, the mainstream games journalism must find something "witty" to say when covering the N Sane Trilogy games, namelydeclaring Crash Bandicoot, of all franchises, to be the "Dark Souls" of platformers.
It's stuff like this is why I not only not take mainstream gaming news seriously but also feel ashamed to be a millennial; it seems that the newer generation can't seem to appreciate the classics properly. I get that the games in general are tough but not impossible to beat, heck I just was able to beat them almost smoothy last year for the franchise's 20th anniversary celebration. All it took was raw skill and guts, no hand holding, no mircotransactions, no BS, nothing, and that's what I like about most games back in the day.
At least the good news is that a lot of people aren't taking this well and rightly so and in fact mocking it by making memes out of it, one of the joys of the internet.

Escándalo de Super Mario! Mario "Appropriates" Mexican outfits
Indeed, it didn't take long for snowflake crazies to find something to bash about the upcoming Super Mario Odyssey game; what Mario is wearing in particular when he goes to that Mexican looking kingdom place. I mean people are getting upset that Mario is wearing a Sombrero and a Poncho in the game; and keep in mind that the reason he wears it is to have the one guy get his approval regarding a dress code in the kingdom in the game. But alas, the mere fact that Mario is wearing them means that somehow the game is racist towards Mexicans; like as if Nintendo would go out of its way to tick off the population of Mexico and its cousins outside of Mexico. Last time I checked, Mario's more concerned about rescuing Peach from Bowser Koopa's wedding that she didn't want and I highly doubt he should worry about the Mexican clothes he dons later on as long as he's...you know, fully clothed and not otherwise.
Thankfully a lot of Mexican people aren't really offended at this and in fact are pretty okay with it, as anyone should be. That and of course folks like AlphaOmegaSin pointing out the absurdity of the whole backlash against Mario wearing sombreros and ponchos.
I don't know about you, but there's a lot of things I'd be more concerned about when it comes to Super Mario Odyssey than a freaking sombrero and poncho and I suggest you do too.

It Once Did Everything: PS3 gets discontinued in Japan and a Potential Memoriam
I really feel bitter writing this considering my liking for the console in question and my lack of fondness for it's "successor" but I must address this since it just happened sooner than I thought: the dreaded time when the PS3, the last great Sony console IMO, is officially discontinued in its home country, Japan. I know some people (SOME people) will just not care and go "oh boo-hoo, an olld console dat almost nobah-dee carez abowt in da wohrld iz goin' de wey of da doh doh but I gawt me sum fancier s--t with moar graphics and spekz and s--t so I dawnt feel bahd" but let me, as one of the presumably few people sticking with an "old dinosaur" console put my thoughts on this.
I'm simply saddened that Sony chose to put a pretty console out into the pasture and basically making us gamers stick to the "PS4" of which will always be a PS3.5 without backwards compatibility nor it's very convenient XMB menu system; all this without even putting back the ability to play PS2 discs in some version that can considered the "swan song"! God, writing that just makes me even more angry at Sony for just canning the PS3; I get it, it's no longer the big system that the gamer community care anymore for some reason but at least give it a few more years before say 2020 and maybe a few more games like Atlus did with Persona 5, of which I will forever be happy to own it as one of the last PS3 games ever made in my lifetime but I digress. I mean the PS2, despite it's heyday fading out by 2008, got to be able to be made until 2013, that's like 13 years since it came out in the year 2000 and with the rather unwarranted advent of the "PS4", I expect the company to do the same with the PS3, in spite of my earlier distaste for the console since Sony thought it was a great idea to get rid of backwards compatibility, disc-wise for the PS2, in their later models (and I will never get over it, never!). But alas, I was wrong and here they are discontinuing the console in their home country of all places, though to be fair they did start this trend in New Zealand almost two years ago so it's technically expected this would happen but not this early.
*Sigh* At least I have the Nintendo Switch as the true next-gen console to look forward too, that system is worth getting for as far as I'm concerned (the PC doesn't count, though I would need to get Win 10 sometime before 2020 but that's another story for another time) .

Slander Fi! The Marines Get Attacked for "Toxic Masculinity"!
Happy Memorial Day! and today I'm going to show you something not so happy. Why? Because it's outrageous and deserves to be mentioned. For some hairbrained reason, Vox, one of the many "respected" mainstream publications, decide to crap on the USMC for being some supposed "rape culture" institution that uses "systemic sexism" of a sort. And I'm like what? All this on a day where our armed forces, in spite of their problems in the past and today, are to be respected for the duties they do? It's as if Vox has a bone to pick with the Marine Corps of all things, especially in a service that's supposed to use "toxic masculinity" to carry out various tasks to ensure the safety of our citizens and other countries around the world; it's a military institution for crying out loud.
And I suppose one can argue they're merely criticizing the past treatment of women and I guess that might be okay; but why bother trying to all negative on a holiday when they should be rightly praising the USMC's attempt to get women into their ranks? It goes to show you that SJWs are never satisfied in a true sense and will criticize anything, even my country's military, just to make their voices heard. Well I got bad news for Vox; the Marines are more worried about ISIS trying to wreck havoc in the Middle East as much as they can before they rightly go kaput and/or try to take down more innocent lives in Europe and the West than some nonsensical "systemic sexism".

Spawned In the USA: Far Cry 5 Stokes Politicized Craze
I did not see this coming though I must stress that I really don't care about Far Cry at all aside from playing the first game on the Xbox console of which I enjoyed a lot but lost interest over time nor am I interesting in the upcoming game I will mention now. Anyway it's shown that Far Cry 5 is not only coming out but will be set in my home country, the United States and that the villains will be some fringe, Christian doomsday cult that took over some county in Montana and they are all white. Granted I really don't care if I'm fighting the Nazis, the Soviets, not-Al Qaeda, or Morden's Rebels as long as I know that the bad guys are evil in both historical and/or fictional context, i.e. deserving to be whooped, but I have to stress that description of the villains of FC5 for a reason.
A good number of articles and people on twitter (sometimes I wonder why twitter was ever invented in the first place) are trying to make it out to be some "commentary" on the Trump administration and of the US political scene today. And you can tell I'm not enthusiastic about this agenda pushing nonsense since I feel they definitely aren't contributing to whatever the message the game might present to us and of discussion. I mean I don't see how trying to shove current day politics in pop culture (in a blatant fashion rather) would do any wonders though granted there were numerous attempts in the past since print was invented I guess but I feel like the recent trend of trying to tie stuff about Trump and other political subjects in something like Far Cry 5 is really getting annoying real fast. Heck I called this out when people where trying to tie the Trump campaign to something like the Man in the High Castle TV show of which something like an Axis takeover of the USA isn't worth a lot of political debates and campaigns to deal with but I digress for the sake of my sanity.
And here again, something like an insane doomsday cult that speaks for God yet abuses its Christian ways (and no doubt bringing out the bad from the Bible...no joke the Bible had some bad stuff in it) should not worth getting politicized over as there is nothing political about obviously evil cults taking over innocent towns and whatnot, it's a moral issue and something has be done to defeat them. Thankfully this article points out the stupidity of making FC5 something about Trump and the USA and kudos to him; the more people pointing out the agenda pushing nonsense the better.
And as for me, I'm not getting FC5, not because of the setting and the controversy, but because there's more games worth my time IMO, like the Misadventures of Tron Bonne and Gotcha Force, as they are more expensive to own than they should be but that's another post for another time.
Update: Things are really getting of out hand now that there's a "petition" floating around that basically demands Ubisoft to change the game as to not be "anti-white" yet it has been pointed out by plenty of people that the petition is a fake and that many gaming "journalists" fell for it. I mean the whole line about "harassment of gamers by mainstream journalists during Gamergate" should be obvious that something isn't right about the petition given that while the major of the pro-Gamergate community has not done any harassment, there is a small minority of them that did do the harassment business. Yet, they are rightly condemned by the majority since they like many other asshat trolls, they don't add anything meaningful; the most the mainstream journalists did is shame gaming culture and declare them "dead" of which I will contend help escalate the controversy more than it needed to be but that's another story for another time. But I will link more about how this petition is a fake to this article that explains more in detail than I can.
