I deem this true.

'Dem Zombies
I recently used a 2 week trial code for Xbox Live, and I've been playing MP games like there's no tomorrow. I even attempted to play MP games that I usually wouldn't play, such as Resident Evil 6's MP. First, I tried to intertwine with someone else's campaign game. In Resident Evil 6, you can meet up with other players at a certain point in the story and team together to fight enemies. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone, so I went to try Agent Hunt.
It was....alright, I guess. When I first joined someone's game, I spawned a few feet away from them. The creature I was controlling felt kind of heavy, so it took some time reaching them. The other player, who played as Helena, was fighting another zombie-like creature (but it wasn't controlled by a player). She went down and killed the zombie, but with one attack I killed her. That match took about a minute and forty seconds.
The second match took a minute or so longer. The player was controlling Jake and I was some mafia looking zombie with a machete (I really forgot what they're called. J'avo, I think?) Jake was doing pretty well so far, except for the part where he pinned himself in this one room. Two zombies were already attacking him from the front, so I went around him and attempted to strike him from behind. I'm not sure if I was lagging, but swinging the machete seemed reaaaaaaaaaally slow! Gah dang! During mid-swing, Jake would shoot rounds at me!! It was until another zombie came beside him and decapitated him, and eventually killing him.
Buuuuuut yeah. Agent Hunt seemed alright. It felt like pulling a wet towel in water when you controlled the zombies, but then again, I only played twice. I'll probably play again some other time, but as of right now, I'm sticking to Happy Wars hahahaha~

DMC Shenanigans
One time when I went to Gamestop, I got three games: DMC: HD Collection, Bioshock, and Mass Effect. I thought I would endlessly play DMC, but in the end I started playing Mass Effect and Bioshock, and completely forgot about DMC...oh lawl.
I finally picked up the pace for Devil May Cry, though (woot woot!)
To be blunt: I suck at that game. Haha! I'm terrible at keeping a chain-attack going...If you see me play, all you would see is Dante jumping around the room shooting at the enemies. Or activating the Devil Trigger, THEN jumping around and shooting enemies! You want to know something more painfully hilarious? I'm playing on the easiest difficulty, and I'm still having a difficult time fighting enemies. Hahahaha ahhhhhhh.
By now, you might be asking, "Why the hell are you still playing it then if you're terrible at the game?"
Well, when I was younger, I was interested in playing the Devil May Cry because: 1) The story and the setting/atmosphere seemed really appealing, and 2) Dante looked hot. Ha! But really, I was always interested in learning the story of the Devil May Cry series, and just reading it on Wiki was a drag. I thought it would be much better to actually play the game (even though I'm close to dying 80 percent of the time). I'm probably going to play through the easy difficulty setting for all three games to understand the story, and maybe afterwards I'll start again and bump up the difficulty setting [to Normal] <---Hahahaha

ME3 Ending [Spoilers]
Hey everyone! I'm sorry that I haven't been updating that much. I was heavily focused on school and this debate I had last week. I was very anxious that I had three different dreams in one night about me screwing up while I was presenting my argument D:
Spoilers commence...Now.
Although, I got back to gaming on Saturday and completed Mass Effect 3 yesterday. The ending...hm. Well, it didn't leave me satisfied. My Effective Military Strength (EMS) was around 3,100, and I chose the Synthesis ending because I initially thought, "Hey, Anderson's path didn't work out so well, even the Illusive Man's path, so why not try out this path?" Great logic, right? It seemed like a somewhat fitting ending: Shepard dies and the galaxy is saved. You would think that they would talk about your team mates afterwards, see Earth being rebuilt, and maybe have a little memorial for Commander Shepard.
Nope. None of that.
Shepard died. You follow Joker and EDI who crashed the Normandy in this jungle-like planet, and another crew member walks out with them. After that, you see this stargazer telling the story about the galaxy long ago, as well as Shepard's story, to a child. The game ends, and Bioware thanks you for playing and whatnot. You see...it doesn't leave you satisfied at all. What the hell happened to your team mates, especially your romantic interest? How did they cope with Shepard's death, in my case Kaidan? They had a little talk before the big finale, and the outcome just left you nothing.
As a player who played through the whole entire series and who connected with the characters, the Mass Effect 3 ending left an empty void in my heart. It honestly felt that more questions were brought up than answers.
I know there are 3 different endings (at the same time different depending on how high your EMS is), so I'm going to play my last save and bump up my EMS to about 4,000 and choose the Destruction ending, just so Shepard lives. Then maybe the Control one.
AND THEN MY FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT THE EXTENDED CUT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD.
Facepalm.
