A journey.....baber's inner chamber

[Baberific]

Dec. 30th, 2008

well, the new year is almost upon us and what better way to celebrate it....than DO IDIOTIC STUFF WITH MY COUSINS!!!!

wit the skateboard crashes here, and the resident evil airsoft there....things seem to never get dull in san fran. And actually, just today, I saw Frost/Nixon, which was a great political movie.

Other than that though, flming stupid events on my cousins camera is a given. Who knows, I might upload the baber failing to do an ollie....BECAUSE HE CAN!!!!

AND HEIAE......the covert operation is not over.

[Umbrae]

Interesting how you tagged "awesomeness".

Aha~

[WanderingMind]

I haven't rode a skateboard in a really long time.

[RedWizard]

I haven't rode a skateboard in a really long time.

Nor have I. My brother seems to think he's a skater though. Pfft. He's lame. Besides, I'm a much bigger fan of blading. You know, on inline skates.

[Heiae]

The Operation will probably be never over.. Look who you're dealing with!

[WanderingMind]

I've also never rode on roller skates.

[KomodoAce]

Can't use roller blades/skates or bikes.

I can't balance :(

[Heiae]

I've never met a person who can't ride a bike.

[KomodoAce]

I can't.

Because I'm special, right? RIGHT?!

[Heiae]

I live in a rural town. There's a lot of space for stuff like that. I don't find it surprising!

[RedWizard]

Learning to ride a bike is one of life's most incredible and fun events. Good times...

[KomodoAce]

I tried to learn, but the training wheels always broke off........since I was a heavy kid :( :(








I'm just full of sad faces today.

[RedWizard]

Turn that frown upside down! Because uh... things...

Stuff...

[SnakeEyez]

Riding a bike is something that everybody needs to learn how to do. It's one of life's main requirements. I mean it. If you die and you don't know how to ride a bike, St. Peter will actually send you back just so you can learn how.

It's never too late to learn. You can make it your New Year's resolution to learn how to ride a bike before year's end. At least that one will be easy to keep.

[Baberific]

guh, I remember the time I learned how to ride. All I can say is, baby steps!!

as well as big cuts and bruises on both my feet and arms.

[ChukoLiang]

I can't ride a bike. Maybe I should learn...

[WanderingMind]

I remember the one time I was biking on a golf course in a gated community when I was little and falling into a pond. Thankfully, I wasn't hurt.

I haven't rode a bike in a while. It sure is a lot of fun, though.

January 6th, 2009

Oh boy, Just two days into my 6 week philosophy class, and now I'm starting to question my own morals. Everything I have done to this point has made me think, do I value everyone based solely on what I can gain from them?? Cause it is downright impossible to be completely selfless/altruistic.

heh, I eve spoke my opinion on that same subject today, I made it look as though I was the most selfish person on earth, for I don't even remember the last time I did something completely selfless. It seems I only use people as a means to gain something beneficial to myself.

I thought I was an asshole before....now...I just don't know what to think.

Is the baber truly an immoral person that is subjective all the time??

[AmuroRay]

I have no idea, it doesn't seem that way when you are on here on Foxkei though.

Hey man.

You're human.

Flesh and blood. As much as I appreciate philosophy and the sayings of wise men, you have to know where to draw the line as to how realistically you can apply it in your own life.

I can't follow everything in the Bible, but I do my best to.

You should have a similar outlook.

[Baberific]

In a way, I'm also not selfless because according to the bible, me being born is a sin...so basically I have to keep repenting to hope that I even have a chance of getting into heaven. So no matter what, I'm constantly thinking about my own well being.

[WanderingMind]

I never think of you as an immoral person who is subjective all the time. The way I see it, you should look out for others while being able to stand up for yourself when needed.

[KomodoAce]

You should worry about yourself first Baber, before worrying about how you relate to others.

As for original sin (the concept that a person is born in sin), I don't believe in that. Can't remember the exact chapter and verse, but there's a passage in the Bible that states that "the father cannot be responsible for the sins of the son and the son cannot be held responsible for the sins of the father".

That original sin stuff? Gives you a guilt trip. Get rid of that garbage. Think positive.

[WanderingMind]

I never really understood the whole concept of "original sin".

[GlassAdam]

Original sin-- it's not a sin that we were born, but instead it's like "the sins of the father", so to speak, that we are born with: They ate the apple.

...If I remember right.

[KomodoAce]

Me neither.

No offense to any Roman Catholics here, but it seems to be a part of the Catholic doctrine. For the glory of the church.

Look at a new born baby.

Can you honestly tell me straight to my face that it has sinned? I don't think so.

EDIT: I understand that, but that's the same thing as saying we "inherit" the sins of our fathers and their forefathers, etc.

It's illogical imho.

[Baberific]

guh, the whole original "sin" thing..was just being used as an example really.

But still, I feel as though I use others for an instrumental purpose, plain and simple, but hey, I try not to think about it always.

[KomodoAce]

Everyone uses someone.

Look at the animal world. The food chain. Symbiotic relationships. It's part of life.

If you were on a deserted island, you'd still be using someone or something, whether it be a tree for shelter, fish for food, etc.

[Baberific]

January 13, 2009

Hmmm...it seems that the baber has become "BABERIFIC, THE BABYSITTER!!"

Now at about 4:40 each day, I have to babysit a kid named taylor who's mom is usually at work from 4:30 am to about 7:30 pm. I was sort of reluctant at first....but hearing how I'm gonna be payed for these sessions...some of the tension was relieved.

When I picked him up from school, one of the oddest things happened....a crazy old woman started shouting "NIGGER!!!! NIGGER!!!" while looking at me through her screen door. I was a bit shocked...as well as a bit humored, but other than that I was mostly confused. Anyways, I picked him up while giving all the older girls the "look" and then we started walking home.

I thought I wasn't really gonna be able to talk to him...until I mentioned games...and it turns out that he is a devout player of brawl and of pokemon. That right there was the one defining factor that instantly made me feel that I could relate to him. Funny how something as odd as video games can cause an instant understanding. Either way, on the way back I heard that same crazy woman cackle when we were passing by. It actually turns out, according to taylor, that she once brought a handgun outside the school gate, threatened to kill one of the school faculty, got drunk in front of the school, and got arrested....as well as released on account of her stating that she would never bother the school again.

Guh, and to believe this whole time just mere minutes away from where I live...exists an insane woman...who called me a nigger....hehehe.

All in all, this was an interesting day....even though reading about Immanuel Kant is going to be a real chore.

[AlucardsFate]

Damn...you live in a weird f***ing place....

Babysit?

I do that regularly sorta...but that's just cause my nieces are over here a lot...and they love to hang out with me for some reason...but they are fun...so it's fine...

[Baberific]

marina del rey is probably one of the most peaceful places you can think of....since everyone around is just old and asian american!!!

It's just that one woman....only her!!!

[Heiae]

Hahaha.. I laughed at the crazy old lady. I got the perfect picture in my head.

[KomodoAce]

I'd be cautious. Crazy bitch might snap.

[Baberific]

I'd be cautious. Crazy bitch might snap.

According to many, she already has a couple times....but hey, I still find it funny with the whole "nigger" situation.

[Baberific]

2/2/09

The man jumps, he shouts, he sweeps!!! Everything was going smoothly for him until he started becoming self-aware of the events that were transpiring around him. Things advancing, opportunities abundant, life going into maximum overdrive.

All of a sudden, he realized that soon he himself would be stuck in a eternal quagmire filled with nothingness and a place of great moratorium. Thus, he started to at least try to change things, such as people that he once thought of as cool are now meh in his book. The Saturdays of legend are now fading into the after light for reasons that are very obvious to him and to others.

Because of the advice from a terrific friend of his, he sees the error of certain decisions and prospects. Trying to find his own way out of the messes he created, he journeys forth toward vast landscapes filled with perilous terrain and deranged psychopaths. Will he find his true purpose??? who knows!!! ONLY TIME WILL TELL!!

guh.......life is odd.

[GlassAdam]

Baber! You're back?!

...And I understood none of that.

[KomodoAce]

Same thing Glass said.

[WanderingMind]

Welcome back!

[Umbrae]

Heey, now tell us what really happened.

[ChukoLiang]

He must've got a girlfriend.


Hahahahahahahah. I'm joking.

[Baberific]

He must've got a girlfriend.


Hahahahahahahah. I'm joking.

HEHEH!!! maybe!!!

February 5th, 2009

Well, what a better way to spend B-day money than to head to good old Circuit city!!

With a price slash of up to 40% off on home audio equipment, yours truly saved quite a lot on HDMI as well as surround sound stuff.

Not to mention 30% off on both games and camera accessories, can someone say, 4GB memory card ???

Oh yea, and I decided to pick up a sweet brand new lost odyssey for only 22 bucks...I'm one happy man....and I'll probably be back for more HDMI stuff due to the outrageous amount they still have.

Now....time to test out this camera.

[KomodoAce]

Yeah Circuit has been dropping the prices even lower than the first week of "liquidation" began.

Games were just 10% off before.

[Baberific]

feb. 10, 2009

wow....Since I am a capcom unity member...I get the inside scoop on certain events (capcom wise) that happen around.

Well, it turns out that today, at 4:20 pm, in burbank, a special sneak peak at RE:5 was happening in which you get to play a "never before seen section" in a theater.I asked if I could go, and to my joy, capcom did!!! Since I live quite far from burbank, I was in a little bit of a panic on whether or not I could attend. but at 2:00 today I randomly called a certain friend....who to my happiness wanted to go as well....as long as I pay for gas. Either way....the event rocked!!! the level we played was of micheal bay calibur!!! with ultra quality and surround sound....things were just heavenly.
Since no cameras were allowed inside...I could only take pics of the outside, as well as the candids that people did for Electric playground (I didn't even know they still existed!)

I, being a funny guy, did my own candid where I explained my experience with the game, while looking like a complete fool....JUST LIKE I PLANNED!!!

At first...the baber prepares for this event!
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k72/pokeman100/thebaber024.jpg

In the end...thanx to capcom...I got see more of RE:5 than I needed....but either way it was awesome!!!!

oh...and remember kids.......URUBORO!!!! heheeeee..................

[Robobvious]

I would kill you, seriously, in an instant. I would do a neckbreaker.

[WanderingMind]

That is awesome! Lucky you...

[Baberific]

February 13th, 2009

Well, there comes a time in a gaming fan boy's life where he gets riches thrown at him for free!!! Yesterday, as a matter of fact, was one of those days, for capcom, being the awesome game producing company they are....decided to hold a free 20th anniversary/SF4 launch event. All you had to do was show up at the MOCA in downtown LA, with an ID, and you were in!!

Although, space was limited, so me and a friend got there about two hours in advance....and because of that, we were in the first group in!! The event started at about 8:00 pm, and ended at 12:00am.

and oh boy, what an event it was, featuring Ono, the knux, as well as DJ Q-bert, this event was filled with odd celebrities and whatnot. Not to mention that both ps3 and 360 console versions of SF4 were on LCD tv's EVERYWHERE!!!!

I ended taking about 73 pics of the event and even had video taken of me during the SF 4 fightclub...WHERE I RAPED WITH SAKURA!!!

But, the amount of free stuff that was obtained was terrific!!! Just getting in we got a 20th anniversary headband...a cool timeline, and other things. Since the amount of pics posted in one post is limited, I'll just post the important ones.

ME(again)with Yoshinori Ono, producer of SF 4 who signed both a kickass poster, and a game that produced, Onimusha:Dawn of dreams.
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k72/pokeman100/100_0127.jpg

Me with Reuben Langdon, AKA the motion capture artist and voice of Ken....and Dante from DMC.
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k72/pokeman100/Streetfighter4037.jpg

also...A pic I decided to take with a bunch of cool cosplayers...including a cute C.viper.
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k72/pokeman100/Streetfighter4035.jpg

Man....last night was just so unreal.....just the fact that EVERYTHING was free.....even the laser etched Dan I got on my phone!!

I even got a cool Guile sketched into my mini art book by Long Vo, also known as the man who drew the HD remix sprites!!

God...what a great time to be a capcom fan!! Just the fact that they were LITERALLY throwing free copies of Street fighter 4 at one point made the party worth it! I myself leaped into the air for one....but divine intervention had a hand in denying me my copy!!......for beer spilled all over my pants and signed poster while I was in mid-air...forcing me to hesitate...thus denying me my free SF4 copy.

Well...either way though...I got a crap load of swag.
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k72/pokeman100/Streetfighter4072.jpg

Next to sneaking into E3...this was probably the greatest gaming moment in my life.

[Heiae]

So awesome!

[WanderingMind]

That is amazing!

[KomodoAce]

Whoa man.

I am in awe of your awesomeness.

[Robobvious]

Was the poster okay?

[SnakeEyez]

Very cool. Sounds like you had quite a Baberific day.

[Baberific]

Yea...hehehe....my pants took most of the beer.
Very cool. Sounds like you had quite a Baberific day.

Yes....I would definitely define this moment as extremely....baberific.

Well, things are finally coming into fruition, for my surgery for my ear is happening on the 12th of next month.

After about two years of having this damn broken ear, IT IS FINALLY GOING TO BE FIXED....not after I go for a preop and other things of course. I talked with all my teachers sp things are going to fine with the whole schedule crisis thing.

Although the doctors said there was a really slight chance that something could go wrong with the way my ear will heal itself with the graft, I'm not worrying too much.

Anyways, After all is said and done...I'm finally going to experience having two full working ears!!! YES!!!

also....robo, this is what you get for being such a good capcom fan....hehehe....just got this in the mail today too.
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k72/pokeman100/RE5001.jpg

THIS IS BABERIFIC!!! AND I SHALL TRIUMPH!!!

Prepare for everything to seem really loud for awhile...I didn't have use of one ear for a mere 2 months...and everything was really loud for awhile until I got used to having it back. I can't imagine the weird experience your in for...

[Baberific]

Prepare for everything to seem really loud for awhile...I didn't have use of one ear for a mere 2 months...and everything was really loud for awhile until I got used to having it back. I can't imagine the weird experience your in for...

I'll take that bit of advice...for things will seem A bit odd...EQUILIBRIUM WILL TAKE PLACE.

but hey, now I have the pic up.

[KomodoAce]

I wish you the best Baber.

Come back to us with stereo sound :)

[Heiae]

I'm glad you're finally getting that ear taken care of, my man!

[Fedaykin]

Good luck man. You're gonna be looking to that side a lot for a while I think.

[WanderingMind]

Glad to hear that your ear is getting fixed.

[SnakeEyez]

Best of luck to you, Baberdude. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

[GlassAdam]

Good luck, Baber. And good luck to the doctors on their journey into your inner-ear chamber.

ker-PLOOSH!

[Baberific]

march 12th, 2009

Well, Since I am having trouble sleeping...I guess I'll just say that I hope my surgery goes well....and none of that OH CRAP WE FAILED nonsense happens while they are looking through my ear.

I shouldn't be nervous....yet I am.

But hey....once they give me the anistijia(how do you spell it??) I'll be konked out for good.....so yea......in 6 hours...my operation shall commence...and if I can, I shall have an after surgery pic. BECAUSE I CAN!!!

[KomodoAce]

You're probably at the hospital already Baber but I'll say a little prayer for you right now and I wish you the best man.

Seriously.

[Heiae]

I hope that everything turns out well!

[Sly_Foxem]

Though this operation is for your ear and not your tonsils, you should ask for icecream :neko_051:. Anyways, hope you have a good surgery and recovery.

[Baberific]

UPDATE!

I am amazed that I even have the strength to type this.....good lord....I really can barely feel anything thanks to the vicadin and the percacets.....the surgery, WAS A SUCCESS!!!

But damn...once the woman gave me the valume, which she called "happy medicine", I completely and utterly dozed off about a minute later.

I then woke up feeling like I had been hit by an oncoming train...that later came back...THEN DECIDED TO REVERSE ON ME!!!

But hey, I'm recovering...and now I have this big ass ear plug to keep my ear healing at a steady pace...as we speak, I can literally hear my ear healing itself.

LOOK AT IT!!
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k72/pokeman100/100_0278.jpg

[Heiae]

AWESOME BABER!!

I bet it'll be awesome once everything is all healed up!

[GlassAdam]

Glad that the surgery was a success!

But that picture-- I dunno, I feel like something's missing...

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g306/glassadam/baber-san.jpg

[KomodoAce]

Awesome. Good to hear the surgery was successful.

[Fedaykin]

Great man. Your are complete now!

[SnakeEyez]

Glad to hear that everything went well. You'll be as good as new in no time.

And hey, that ear plug isn't too bad. At least you can still cover part of it up with your beautiful, shimmering, glorious hair.

[WanderingMind]

I'm glad to hear the surgery went well.

[Baberific]

March 15th, 2009

Guh....the after effects of the surgery, even with the vicadin and the anTibiotic.....are just plain sucky. The cloginess of the cotton...the ache of the stitches....the funky crunchy sounds, man, I looks as though that I'll have to go through this another week.

I really can't complain though...for in the end, a new ear shall appear!!!
Oh, another negative thing about this recovery....I can't take a shower, so for the past few days.....I haven't showered. This means that not only do I smell....but my hair is garbage.....I literally look like some sort of asian gaijin bum from the tokugawa period.
http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k72/pokeman100/baberific001.jpg

yea...demonic is the key word here.

[Heiae]

You're a monster, Baber! A MONSTER!

[AlucardsFate]

Don't worry...a lot of chicks are into the disheveled...unclean look....

I see a gundam in the background!

[Heiae]

I don't see a Gundam but I see me some Eureka 7. And that Chrono Trigger mini-poster that came with the DS version of the game.

[AlucardsFate]

I don't see a Gundam but I see me some Eureka 7. And that Chrono Trigger mini-poster that came with the DS version of the game.

Oh is that what that is? I saw a red and white shieldish thing...figured it was Gundam related. I watched Eureka 7...like once....bored me to tears...

[WanderingMind]

Samurai Baber!

Eureka Seven...another show I need to finish.

[Fedaykin]

Oh is that what that is? I saw a red and white shieldish thing...figured it was Gundam related. I watched Eureka 7...like once....bored me to tears...



Yeah me too.

[Heiae]

One episode =/= whole series.

Eureka 7 was up and down for me - the pacing was pretty odd - but I ended up really enjoying it.

[Baberific]

March 24, 2009

Yea, things have been semi-slow with the ear healing and all.....but to my surprise, a certain singer happened to be in hollywood today to promote her album. My friends and I...being the funky j-pop/kingdom hearts fans we are, raced over there to see what all the hubbub was about.

The singer's name is utada hikaru...many of you probably know her as the woman who sang "simple and clean" or "sanctuary" which both were themes of the kingdom hearts series of games. Well, in the beginning...it turns out that we arrived too late and nobody was being let in anymore....but me being the optimist, decided to stay around the area. After eating some bugles and chilling, the doors were opened to anyone that wanted to...hehe...CATCH A GLIMPSE OF HER.

The event just ended being a total mess in my opinion....due to the location of the singer was placed. Of all the stores...a tiny ass sephora beauty store was the stage. I mean...wouldn't it have been a better idea to have it outside...than in such a cramped up space? the capacity was so filled...that when I took a photo from the outside...I did not notice that I got a pantie shot.

Well, the baber's edge 2:*insert cliche subtitle* is in the works....before I have even arrived in san fran.....and the ear seems to be fine....SO ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD.

[KomodoAce]

That's cool man.

And yes, that is a terrible "venue".

[Baberific]

April 26th, 2009

Yesterday night I went to a free SF4 art exhibit courtesy of Capcom themselves. The exhibit was called JAB!STRONG!FIERCE!, And any street fighter fan would know that those are the inputs for the each of the punch and kick buttons. So me and a couple SF fans decided to drive about 15 minutes outside of downtown LA to see what all the hubbub was about.

When we arrived there though, we were sort of surprised to find such a small place for such a major exhibit. But either way, TONS AND TONS of terrific art at *cough bullshit cough* awesome prices were there.

Such as this epic m.bison/sagat showdown.

There was also a pretty cool cosplay contest where people who dressed up as their favorite characters did skits for judges.

But of course, it was my friend's friends who won the competition with their destructive Cammy vs. ryu skit...let's just say that "grab into Frankensteiner" was involved.

But I myself got the joy of watching some THE best players in the US fight for 500 in a tournament sponsored by EVO....I'll say that those were some of the most extraordinary matchups I was ever there in the flesh to lay eyes on. I'll also go to say that the person who won the tourney.....USED EL FUERTE!!! I could've entered the tourney...but that's 35 bucks to try to win $500.

Not only did I see crazy players...but I also got to meet some capcom unity members and the legendary SETH killian himself!!!
But what really made my night...was winning a birdie action figure in a raffle!! Got the damn thing signed by seth, and had the satisfaction of knowing that those tickets were given to me by my friends who though they had no chance at winning.

All in all you could say it was a baberific time!
AND..... ABEL FTW!!!

[SnakeEyez]

Oooh. So this Cammy cosplayer...can I have her number? :D

Had to put those pictures in spoiler tags cuz they were so massive. Hope you don't mind.

[WanderingMind]

Sounds like you had a great time.

[Fedaykin]

Yeah, heck I'm having a great time admiring that girl's as- I mean Cammy costume.

[SirBogi]

Oooh. So this Cammy cosplayer...can I have her number? :D

Had to put those pictures in spoiler tags cuz they were so massive. Hope you don't mind.

I mean...wouldn't it have been a better idea to have it outside...than in such a cramped up space? the capacity was so filled...that when I took a photo from the outside...I did not notice that I got a pantie shot.

Well, the baber's edge 2:*insert cliche subtitle* is in the works....before I have even arrived in san fran.....and the ear seems to be fine....SO ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD.

man, I love me some Utada. She's always on my iPod, every album she's released except for that one she released in the states before she moved to Japan. It's impossible to find.

Well, it seems as though foxkei has gotten some new/awesome members added to the site....too bad I wasn't there to greet them, but anyways, HERE'S SOME NEWS!!

You guys remember that whole "ear" problem right??? Well, guess what???
According to ms. Wang (my ear doctor), my eardrum has bean fully healed over...so now that means I can go into the shower without cotton, as well as swim!! Which is exactly what I did on Saturday at a beach party. Even though I am horribly sore from skim boarding....I feel fulfilled. So now, all I have to do is be bit cautious around loud places and wait for my ear to complete heal internally.

Oh, and another piece of random news....you all know what E3 is right?? wait...OF COURSE YOU DO!!! well the baber has been invited by none other than capcom, to go to E3 for FREE. Yes, FOR FREE. The second I got the message I almost pissed my pants, it seems that being an active capcom lover on the unity site has given me great rewards.
http://www.cnet.com.au/i/g/240062845/sc001.jpg

So come June 4th.....I shall be in gaming nirvana.

Any titles you want me to play...list them...for the baber shall try his hardest to give the best hands on preview EVAR!!!!

so yea, the baber is happy, VERY HAPPY!

[SnakeEyez]

Ah, good to see that you're back, Baber. We were wondering where you've been. So your ear is all healed up, eh? That's terrific news. Or should I say...Baberific news?

As for E3, I only have one request: pictures. Take lots and lots and lots of pictures while you're there. That will make me a happy panda.

[GlassAdam]

Baber, you simply must find a way to take some video while you're there!!! At least take photos like SnakeEyez said, but do video IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!

[WanderingMind]

Glad to hear you're back and congrats on your ear healing. Like Glass and SnakeEyez said, take a lot of photos at E3.

[Heiae]

Oh, freaking ROCKING deal. Fixed up ear, and E THREE WHAT.

I'm pretty interested in Dark Void. Maybe you should check it out!

[JesterDK]

You went to E4All too, didn't you?

...Lucky bastard.
Hahaha

[KomodoAce]

Baber is back up to 100% again. Great to hear man.

Have fun at E3 you lucky son of a gun!

[Baberific]

June 2nd, 2009

E3:Day 1

Well......I, the baber, had his childhood dream come true today..cause the second I received the badge with my name on it.....I was in gaming nirvana.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/97ac655584c384a3c842033830f7c3aa.jpg?v=269400

I played many titles, including Batman: Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 2:honor among thieves, Afrika, Sin and punishment 2, Wet, Lost planet 2, TVC eng, Forza motorsport 3, and Brutal Legend.

http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/209e6a3c947900255df2f3858feb58cf.jpg?v=269400

Since Glass was the first to truly ask for a specific title, I shall tell him info on it!!!

Afrika, Published by Natsume: First I'm going to say that this game has the mist detailed camera system I have ever seen. Every type of lens you can possibly think of is in there....as well as a couple of very high quality cameras.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/15ec49a0bd777a62b650f3f9c2b54d88.jpg?v=269400

From what I played, the game involves going on safari's and taking photos of the various wildlife that surround you. Even though this game might not win the award for "EXTREMELY GORGEOUS GRAPHICS", it gave this calm serene feeling that all the gore infested games these days dismiss. The more I played it...the more I realized that it was a "chill, relax, and calm your mind" type game, almost like the PSN game flower. Cause going on that night safari was actually very cool.

Robobivious wanted me to try out specific titles, so I shall give the lowdown on them in a couple sentences. But since I could only get my hands on one of them due to all this newfound SECURITY, I'll take about a certain one he mentioned.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/11a3ad03bede9d25b299a22234188f61.jpg?v=269400
Batman, Arkham asylum: Well, here it is!!! A batman game that nails the series's dark tone very well!!! The demo I played involved batman tracking down the joker in the hell known as arkham asylum. The gameplay was the standard semi-beat'm up mixed in with some stealth elements. You were able to locate objects of interest as well as enemies by activating the "detective view". Batman's combos were pretty brutal with gut punches and hooks galore. What really made me happy though, is that the hookshot could be used in MANY places. I came away from the game feeling great....also...the game looks terrific graphically.

God war III is for tomorrow...for that game had a horrendous line. Rabbids go home is tomorrow as well.

Guh, besides all that, Brutal Legend was such a Kickass title......cause the prince of darkness, Ozzy, Is you shopkeeper!! Also, the comedic elements of the story were terrific and very fresh.

I would try and talk about everything else I saw...but that would just require way too much typing.....So I'll end with this.

http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/fbfccd04056627ce29eb03927032a0c6.jpg?v=269400

GHOST BUSTAS BABY!!!!

I shall be back tomorrow with more...BAYONETTIC NEWS!!!

[AlucardsFate]

Bayonettic! YAY! Tell us everything you know my little Cheshirepuss...

And may I say...outside the convention center....

THAT IS A HELL OF A WALLSCROLL...I wants some FFXIII...

[KomodoAce]

Lucky...

[Fedaykin]

I hate you Baber. And you didn't bring me the Booth babe sweat did you?

Seriously you start to trust someone... :neko_041:

[Baberific]

I hate you Baber. And you didn't bring me the Booth babe sweat did you?

Seriously you start to trust someone... :neko_041:

Well...hehe...If things go the way they should tomorrow....I'll acquire the purest booth babe sweat there is.

[Fedaykin]

Hmm, ok I'll forgive this if said deed is accomplished...for now

[Umbrae]

Any freebies?

[Heiae]

Hell yeah, Baber! You are my hero!

You played Sin and Punishment 2?! HNNNNNNGGGGH.

I can't wait to hear about Bayonetta's gameplay from a fellow hardcore action game lover!

[Robobvious]

I would kill you if it meant I got to go to E3.

[AlucardsFate]

I would kill you if it meant I got to go to E3.

I don't think you have the necessary abilities to kill the Baber...

You need a few legendary artifacts of power first...

[Robobvious]

I don't think you have the necessary abilities to kill the Baber...

You need a few legendary artifacts of power first...

You can not comprehend my power!

[AlucardsFate]

You can not comprehend my power!

I certainly comprehended enough of it to figure out...that you cannot destroy The Baber...he has mind powers...

This new PSP Metal Gear looks pretty swanky! Didja get to do anything with that Baber? If so...is camera control fixed? Or will I have to deform my hand to play it?

[LuminousAtelier]

XD@Robobvious.

That's cool look forward to some more pictures.:)

[GlassAdam]

Baber! Thank you for looking at Afrika!!!!! I'm even more excited for it now than I was before! Sounds exactly like I was hoping...

[Baberific]

June 3rd, 2009

The baber has done what he thought was impossible......crapped his pants two times in a row!!!
And what is the cause of this crappage you ask??? Well, many things.....including boobies.
Anyways, the titles that I played today are numerous, but to name a few, I played, Bayonetta, GOW III, Rabbids go home, section 8, spyborgs, Lost planet 2(again), Batman: arkham asylum challenge modes,uncharted 2 co-op, silent hill:shattered dreams, kingdom hearts 358/2 days, and FF crystal chronicles: the crystal bearers.

First off, let's start with Rabbids go home, since Rob asked me to test it out.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/2ea1fbf37754ba4b4e9a35baa5af96b6.jpg?v=269400
Since I have experienced previous rabbid titles, I was expecting nothing less than awesome comedic/adorable fun. And that is exactly what I got, since this game involves the rabbids trying to get back home by stacking any piece of junk they find. For some odd reason they think that their home is the moon, so it's up to you to help them make it there. The game was terrific on all levels, whether it be controls or graphical style. Although it seemed a bit like katamari damacy (due to the fact that you collect stuff in a shopping cart just by ramming/touching it) , the game itself was just plain fun and accessible. I could actually see myself purchasing this in the future.

Other than that title, another major game I played was GOW III, which, as I expected, was a beautiful looking/gore infested hack n' slash game.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/d232bc6c6460d5cbfec5a547a4d17e06.jpg?v=269400
Even though I had to wait for at least an hour in line, it was worth it....somewhat. The game continues where the second left off, Kratos, along with the titans, climbing up Mt. Olympus in search of the gods. The game played just like the previous titles....except with a little bit more variety in the combos. But of course, it IS the visuals that sets this game apart from the rest.....for it was drop dead gorgeous in motion. Even the gore itself was horrendously detailed, for when you killed a centaur, you literally ripped open it's abdomen...and watched it's intestines roll out. All I can say is, if you loved the previous titles....YOU WILL WORSHIP THIS ONE!

That's it for all the small fries......I'm now on the main event, well, in my eyes at least.

BAYONNETTA

This game.....blew my mind.....and I only had to wait 2 minutes to play it. I mean...god, it looked beautiful, it played beautifully, and gosh, Bayonnetta herself is just too much for my unmasculined body to handle!!! Well, since this game is being directed by Hideki kamiya (Viewtiful joe, RE2, Devil may cry, Okami), you know that a fresh visual style, along with a badass/sexy main character is a given......and boy.....DID HE GIVE!!!
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/13151a2acc3071a5f256e48d31f0f008.jpg?v=269400
The game features three different attack buttons with various Awesome looking combos. One was for your ranged weapons, another was for punches(main weapon), and the last one war for kicks.......mighty, sexy kicks. The amount of crazy combinations I was able to pull off not only looked beautiful....but were deadly AS HELL!!! Also, they weren't that hard to pull off.....it was also nice to see bayonetta show of some skin with every move involving hair...HEHE. But you know what's really awesome??? The fact that Hideki Kamiya himself was there!!! I recognized him from the crowd due to his distinctive bald head!!
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/690c6a34096f0e6dd6ecc4113732c176.jpg?v=269400
I got him to sign my friend's DMC 1 and got on the Platinum games podcast!!! So in alittle bit, a link to such video will be posted!! Oh....but what was also pretty rad.....was the sexy, slick, and downright bootylicious bayonetta that was at the Sega booth.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/900328a9f51b94b6562b6bfb77474efd.jpg?v=150750
What I loved even more...was the fact that she was british!!!! And just when I thought things couldn't anymore rad, it turns out the main team behind the game was there!!!
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/9610e7af6ff7a9fbea144792cf60a5a7.jpg?v=269400
The music director, main A.I. programmer, and even the concept artist was there!!

So in summary......things went WAY TOO WELL!!!

Tomorrow shall be my final E3 blog, so this the baber.....and you've been on his journey.

[GlassAdam]

Wow. That's fuckin' awesome. Looks like so much fun!!!

[Fedaykin]

Where is my SWEAT?! I want my Bayonetta booth babe sweat!

[Baberific]

Where is my SWEAT?! I want my Bayonetta booth babe sweat!

It shall be delivered to you in 20 years!!! BE GREATFULL.

[Fedaykin]

T_T Why you....

Always read the fine print Fed, always!

[Heiae]

BABER. I worship thee and thy all access E3 journey!

I can't wait for Bayonetta HHRRRNGH.

KEEP ON HAVING AN AWESOME TIME.

[Robobvious]

GOOD GOD YOU MET HIDEKI KAMIYA!? Aww what I would give to meet him, I'd need him to sign my RE2 and ask him if he had any of the original game builds anywhere, haha. Elza Walker anyone?

Thanks for checking GOW III and Rabbids, they're both definite buys for me. And I'm following Bayonetta quite closely.

But seriously Baber, you chose the right fucking place to live, god damn.

[AlucardsFate]

Bayonetta woman! (Did she ask if you wanted to touch her?)

Call me crazy...but you don't look as happy as you could in that picture...

[SnakeEyez]

Baber, you are a god among men. That's all that needs to be said.

[LuminousAtelier]

^lol
Cool,hehehe those rabbits make me laugh.

[Baberific]

Bayonetta woman! (Did she ask if you wanted to touch her?)

Call me crazy...but you don't look as happy as you could in that picture...

It is only because I wanted to at least try, hehe, to have a sexy look!!!

[KomodoAce]

Freaking awesome. You met that...Japanese guy haha.

But seriously. Viewtiful Joe is one of the most original games I've ever played in my life and you met the guy behind it. Props.

And even more props for the emo face while taking a pic with the Bayonetta babe haha.

[Baberific]

June 4th, 2009

My final day of E3 madness was a great one, for it was Capcom that let me and other C-Unity members into their private E3 booth for some food, drinks, and all around gaming fun.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/172e26941921bb287648f149d521fc1b.jpg?v=269400

But that does not mean that I did not try to play a few titles that were beyond my vision the first time. Games such as Legend of zelda:spirit tracks, Dark void, TvC all stars(yet again),Left 4 dead 2, Spyborgs(also yet again), Dead to rights, Dragon ball raging blast, Rock band Beatles, and saw (cause they were not playable) both dante's inferno and Army of two:the 40th day in a special/private booth.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/02d73debf4c732ce6c88c83014266504.jpg?v=269400
Anyways, the only game I truly feel like talking about is Rock band Beatles.....for this titles was a LOT more fun then what I expected it to be. Who knew a simple addition such as harmonizing could give you such a wonderful feeling while playing. Now when you play lead guitar and bass, you can sing along with the tune....just like the beatles did. I myself....being one who sang a crap load of Beatles songs as a kid, found this game both nostalgic and awe inspiring.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/38e8c6faf168e92dfa74664044eecd38.jpg?v=269400
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/8499040dd1840a77dd912dd26ccc94e0.jpg?v=269400
Even while playing drums....I started singing the tunes. But really, it was all about the unity party that capcom had for me and fellow unity members.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/17533e80deeb265c5d8e3f35def1c7fd.jpg?v=269400
They had the game dark void playable at the booth, which was a pretty cool jetpack/action adventure type game......I look forward to more in the near future.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/fa411b39f60dda4f73779078e1504849.jpg?v=269400
The salad wraps they had were fantastic, the brownies weren't bad either!! Meeting Seth, Kramer, and even Shawn, who are main members of capcom's staff, was a dream come true!
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/18eb6ebef06b569c2f247d37054b889f.jpg?v=269400
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/a7b9633323d0dd9181de6fcafe8fb0c0.jpg?v=269400
But what really made my day....was the t-shirts that they were giving to unity members. These were no ordinary t-shirts....for only 300 of them were made...just for E3 by iam 8bit.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/184c503fe583379bdc1aab1a59305145.jpg?v=269400

One t-shirt was for the promotion of TvC....and boy is it a sexy shirt.
The other was for dark void.....which also rocked.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/cb84aa9569c69c20be9d541c56257456.jpg?v=269400

The unity crew and I almost ended up on the 1up podcast surprisingly enough.....but due to schedule constraints...we couldn't.
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/53aa087f20a5f3f56ac60ac31f48ae8f.jpg?v=269400

In the end, my childhood dream came true.....all thanks to the wonderful people from capcom.

Even though this years E3 was just the beginning of things to come, I had a terrific time.

So I leave you with this....a pic with my favorite and former 1up extraordinaire.....SHANE bettenhausen!!! It turns out that he's working for ignition games......the people publishing KOF 12!!!!
http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/baberific/large/2475149f220490e1e8a5d04491f6bb60.jpg?v=269400

I am the baber.....and I love life.

And by suck, I mean rock so hard that I envy you.

"!"

[SnakeEyez]

You suck.

And by suck, I mean rock so hard that I envy you.

I couldn't have said it any better myself.

Thanks for all the inside info, Baberdude. Very enlightening.

[GlassAdam]

Any video of the event?

[Baberific]

Any video of the event?

As we speak...I am splicing the video of all the bits I took.

[Umbrae]

Don't even try to pretend this wasn't your true motive:

[Fedaykin]

Hahaha good call Fox

Yeah congratulations blah blah :neko_041:

ME TOO! :neko_041:

[WanderingMind]

I wasn't around to hear about E3 while it happened this year, so I just read whatever you put up.

You rock, Baber!

Much like the ones in your Geology class.

June 12, 2009

well, it seems that the baber is going to good old San Fran to visit his cousins yet again!! And this time.....the completion of the baber's edge 2 will be a reality! Also, this time....I can walk around without the fear of fox ripping my throat!!!

Besides that though, today I went on a 5 mile hike to a wondrous place called eagle rock, and boy.....did I end up getting exhausted. I guess only getting about 6 hours of sleep really comes back to ram you in the face. I even decided to take some idiotic photos of me on the peak!!

Oh, and for any of wondering when I was gonna put up my video of E3......here it is, for the extremely awesome heiae uploaded them for me!!! For my computer is a piece of crap.

Yes, awesome! Can't wait for the Baber's Edge episode 2!

Also, nice vids. Thanks for making them!

[Fedaykin]

Sweeeet. As always, thx for the awesome Baber!

Hahah wow that must suck about your computer but it seems photoshop keeps crashing on Nos,dunno if he manged to get it to work yet.

[Baberific]

Well, I'm guessing that some of you maybe want to know where the baber has been. Was he lost in some sort of atomic collider? Did father time deny him the chance to flip over his hourglass? Or did love distract him from his ultimate destiny?

But no, it's nothing special....for I was just going through life, its trials, its tribulations, and a lot of realizations.

But that doesn't matter...for he has been tasked with the responsibility, of E3 yet again. Capcom gave me another go...so I'm going for it.

[GlassAdam]

Yesssssssssss. E3 video-- make it happen.

[Heiae]

Fuck YEAR!

The fuck? You still alive?

[Fedaykin]

Saaaweeet. Second on E3 video.

[Baberific]

The fuck? You still alive?

Astounding? isn't it? You would think that after 6 different wars in 4 different quadrants, that I would have died eons ago....BUT THAT IS NOT SO!!

And I will try to make the E3 video possible.

[WanderingMind]

Well, this is the Baber we are talking about. He can make stuff happen.
