I know. I’m late(as always) and it’s not exactly accurate. But the thought crossed my mind while watching episode 4 and it amused me. Thought I might as well try to share it with somebody.

As you might know, seeing how I have mentioned it before, I have a rather close relationship with my breakfast. One you might call it overzealous. In simple words: I FRIGGIN’ LOVE CEREAL!!!

But where I come from there doesn’t seem to be that much of variety when it comes to cereal. Despite this fact, I lately decided to go through the shelfes, and lo and behold, there where a rather noticable number of boxes I don’t remember from my childhood.

In conclusion I now will try new brands over the time and guess what? I’ll take you along for the ride.

The first contestant: Nesquik Duo

which look like this:

(I hereby apologize for the poor quality of the picture, the only camera I have is my cell phone, and my cell phone is OLD)

From what I gather, they’re basically little orbs of diabetes and caries, therefore being the ideal first subject in my trials.

The box says there are now more of the white ones. Seeing how this is my first time trying these, I’ll have to believe this without any hard evidence. The bowl in the picture contains 175 black and 119 white ones. This makes for 59.52% black ones and 40.48% white ones.

When tasted seperatly, I have to say I prefer dark orbs. For they have a stronger taste of actual cocoa, while the white ones tend to be almost viciously sweet. Combination seems to be the best option.

Together they are overall very sweet and carry a certain note of cocoa, making them taste more or less like chocolate with a different structure. Unfortunally they’re not that different from the ‘normal’ chocolte ships, in my opinion. The spherical shape makes for a rather weird, yet funnny sensation when moving the intact bits in the mouth. In my book, there’s bonuspoints for such things. Unfortunatly they seem to have the tendency to go limp a little to fast(that’s wh… augh, I’m going to spare you this one…)

As a final verdict I’ll say they are rather pleasent and I for one will probably buy them again, but not any time soon. I guess they are roughly at 73% of Fruit Loops when it comes to my “dude-goes-cuckoo-for-cereal-scale.

So, guess I’ll jump on the bandwagon and say something about Mass Effect 3. Mostly the Ending, as you maybe might have guessed by now. But take this as a warning though, there will be spoilers.

You maybe could take this as a follow up to my last text, might you have read it. Because this is one thing I can’t do for a first time again. No matter what I do, I can never finish Mass Effect for the first time again.

A short notice on the game as a whole. I really liked it. It was the peak of a great series, I liked the gameplay that gave me more options to develop my character and equipment than ME2 and still played faster and more streamlined than ME1. I think it mostly cought the feeling of all out war against the reapers, especially towards the end. The score is great and conveys the mood of the story. Also this is the first time I kond of have the feeling to move through an living environment, seeing how people now move the places they are and interact more with each other.

I also really liked how Shepard became more vulnurable compared to the previous games. The mood in itself is more bleak and depressing and a hero that gets broken more and more under the pressure fits this in my opinion.

Now to the one thing everything talks about. The Ending. I won’t recap it. If you played the game you have seen it and if you havn’t, you should.

The final battle itself is handled great in my opinion. Fighting through the destroyed London had the right feeling of being overpowered. Seeing Shepard defeated at the end, bleeding, stumbling alone through the rubble seemed the right outcome of everything the game build up till now.

And then: weird stuff happened. All of a sudden there is a new power, the Catalyst itself, who turns out to be the creator of the reapers and the focus of the conflict is shifted completely to organics vs. synthetics. The latter always was an issue since part one, but the former was, as far as I remember only hinted at once before, at Rannoch.

What bugs me about this is that it comes completely out of nowhere. I didn’t dislike the Ending as such, only its lack of build-up. If there had been more hints, than I would have accepted it, but like this it feels freakingly alien to the story. Most of all since I more or less destroyed the catalysts arguments. In my savegame, there is peace between Quarians and Geth. Sure, he could argue there could be struggle in the future. But not only did I end a 300 years old conflict, but if the argument is: “There will be war in the future” than the only solution would be to end all live, because even without synthetics, there would.

Than there ist of course the complete lack of closure for my Squad. This is by far the worst thing of all. Mass Effect is a story I followd for 5 years now. Hell, I still went to school when I played the first game. They have come so close to me, the few words they shared pre-battle simply aren’t enough. Maybe the idea was to show the close focus to Shepard. With the protagonist gone, there is no way to know what happened after. But le’ts be honest, after all this time and emotional involvement this won’t be enough.

I think the idea was that as a real climax, there needed to be something unexpected. Everyone saw a huge battle coming. We all knew earth would be the place. But we have to admit one thing: only very few people saw this ending come, if at all. They maybe tried to become even bigger in a new different sense than before, and while failed i can understand the intention.

What I also noticed was the “new DNA” thing in the synthesis Ending I chose. Okay, I’ll admit that Mass Effect never was to deep into the “science” part of science-fiction, as this great comic from www.awkwardzombie.com illustrates:

AND I’m not really into the science here, but from what I know DNA DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY. And whenever the audience thinks like this(and usually I’m a master of willing suspense of disbelieve) immersion is broken.

And that’s terrible.

So yeah. It’s a great game with a weird ending, but I won’t scream “ruined forever!” nearly as loud as others seem to do. Instead, I started playing Mass Effect 1 again. Startiung a new story. 5 weird moments in the end, to me, will never change hours an hours of great gameplay till then.

I tend to do things more than once. I re-read books and comics, I re-watch movies and I re-play games . I do these things so often, if I really like something, it is quite possibly I read a book up to 10 times, like it happened to Lord of the Rings or get 5 play-throughs within a game that takes me 40-60 hours to finish, like Final Fantasy X.

And I love doing this. Finding new ways to look at something, trying other strategies or simply visit an old story that already has become somewhat of an old friend.

But unfortunally, it will never be the same. The first time is always special when you do something, and sometimes this kind of special let’s me long to be able to repeat this first time.

Yet this is, thanks to the fact that sometimes even I can remember things impossible. So here is a short list of a few of these things where I wish I could use self-induced head-trauma to make me forget the real first time.

I don’t need to tell you why Star Wars is amazing, this is the internet, you already read about it. Probably today, and probalby a bazillion times. But to me, it will never feel quite the same as these first times I watched it. I was rather young and didn’t really know what to expect. The story was full of twists my young mind couldn’t see coming and everything was so big and epic. I simply had never seen anything like it before, and therefore this feeling will never be felt again.

On another, a little more sad note, the rage the prequels can induce in me, is VERY repeatable.

This is one of my favourite Playstation games OF ALL TIME. Maybe it’s an age thing. When I first played Kingdom Hearts I was 13, as old as Sora himself, and the whole idea seemed so amazing. Leave home, have an incredible adventure with real friends, knowing who are the bad guys and whom you need to protect. And you need nothing more than just your courage and heart to do so. Even today I sometimes I have moments where I want my life to be like this. but at age 13? Damn, this was the epitome of my wished existence. Now I am older, I have seen these adventures and somehow that changes the way I feel towards them. But still, I can, and hopefully will never, lose my love for Kingdom Hearts. The music alone… Sorry, I’ll be of being nostalgic a few moments now…

…

So, where was I?

Oh yeah, next one!

Puella Magi Madoka Magica(due to the writing being somewhat hard to read i decided to repeat that…)

I’ve seen this anime some time ago now and what to say than it is a great take of a known formula. I went into the show not knowing what to expect at all(even though according to the internet this should have been impossible due to all these late arrival spoilers I strangely never read…)

So soon I found out the whole idea behind Puella Magi seemed to be to find new ways of hurting my feelings, sending out gut-punch after gut-punch with increased momentum. But the thing about being repeatedly punched is, it tends to feel different when you see it coming. I sure as hell will watch Puella Magi again, but as many of you might already know: the first time hurts the most.

So, it’s time to rule the odd one out. But I still wanted to mention it. I love Cereal. I mean like, LOVE love. Most religions probalbly have some kind of rule against this feeling I’m having towards my breakfast, but I don’t care.

Yet with this I have two problems. the frst one being that this here my country never really bothered to develop a real Cereal-culture. So as much as I wish for it, there isn’t that much to choose for me from. The other one is the theme of this here old text: I kind of always think they used to taste better when I was younger. Maybe they did, maybe its nostalgia. The important point is: I still love these little rings of diabetes and probably cancer, but in my memory, I loved them even more.

I won’t go on listing all the thing I want to undo so I can do them again, because then I would have to mention almost everything I ever saw, read, played or did.

So, what I’m trying to say is your mind knows a hell of a lot ways to suck the fun out of right about everything, right after you have come to know and love it. And therefore it is the ENEMY! Spread the word, FORGET EVERYTHING! I tried it in school and it seemed to work out somehow.

But of course, there will always be Lord of the Rings, and it was, is, and will be awesome. Always!

I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air…

But most of all, I saw it at the store the other day. I went there looking for a game I wanted to buy for a friend. An there, going through the shelves, I saw this:

The weird thing is, this took me by surprise. I knew it was coming some time now, but I had no idea it was already here. The reason this struck me is I LOVE Final Fantasy. There is no amount of kind of words that can describe the fun and joy I got from these games. I can remember myself, saying how I will always be looking forward to new Final Fantasy Releases.

Now this. I didn’t even see it coming and I didn’t really care. I have no Idea if it is supposed to be good or not.There is not the slightest itch to go out there and buy it. And this comes from a person who bought Final Fantasy X-2 in release-week, knowing it would be a disapointment(and who is still infuriated by it.

Mostly I make Final Fantasy XIII responsible, for it failed to give me anything even close to the feelings I have playing other Final Fantasy Games. Even X-2 and XII, which I thought to be bad Final Fantasy games, still gave me short moments of consolation.

In reaction to this event I feel kind of sad and nostalgic. On the bright side, I might be playing Final Fantasy IX again some time soon. And you should do so too, for it is a great game that is often underrated.
