I really like McDonald's. I eat it almost every week and there doesn't seem to be an end to this routine. I figured out how to eat healthier when I'm there and not end up like what they tell you in Super Size Me (thanks Fat Head). Eating at the famous fast food got me wanting to try so many new things found on their menu, from the Seriously Chicken burger (which seems to only be a thing in Canada) to the Ebi Filet-O in Japan. Ebi Filet-O...Ebi Filet-O...
Due to the current culture war over political correctness, focusing on "the world" over a nation's own, and more current issues overtaking conversation points and people quick to advocate for the newest hot trend that goes against anything traditional from what it seems, there's a point when enough is enough. Economic crash, riots, civil war and some more of that are expected by some to happen within our lifetime. I thought creating a DEFCON not for a nuclear threat but the threat levels for instability within society would be good to look at if the life we're living is at risk over some form of crash. No more playing games.
Thinking about the general direction of this blog, I have decided that the main focus will be moving towards the realm of video games, televised entertainment (films, anime, cartoons and TV shows), literature and my essays which may or may not apply to the real world. It's not exactly fun driving without knowing where you're supposed to be driving to or having no understanding of where you're headed so I wanted to make this clear to you and myself. Especially myself. I am the driver here.
The Super Smash Bros. series has a very close place to my heart. The original on the Nintendo 64 was the first video game I leaned hard on. Now we have Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and I have yet to get my hands on it (not to mention a Nintendo Switch). But with Joker from Persona 5 to receive an invitation and everybody going wild for the next third-party DLC fighter(s), it's getting hard keeping these thoughts to myself and I believe I got a pretty good idea on who got the best chances of entering the ultimate battle.
It was the summer of August 2014. I still remember watching videos of Five Guys and the delicious burgers they would cook up. The sizzle on the grill got my taste buds anticipating an experience I had to get out of my house to relish. Unfortunately that would have been a preferable alternative to what happened at the time.
It's [current year]! The old generation is stepping down and the new generation is taking its place! Who are they? They are the Millennials and they are in the house! One of the healthiest, well-educated, and most open (more ways than one. Michael and Mustafa sleep with my girlfriend five times a week, which is four times more often than she sleeps with me, but we're in an open relationship so there isn't a problem) generation of people that stepped foot on Earth! Once all the baby boomers (more like baby goofers, am I right, my non-binary genderfluid friends) and all the people on the spectrum of the right-wing are thrown into the gas chambers, the Millennials will go down in history as the best, most glorious, awesome, open-minded, fantastic, humane, spectacular, totally not destructive, fabulous generation!
"You have one new message," the answering machine said in its robotic female voice. It plays a loud beep sound before it continues on. "This is Charles from the ramen restaurant. Your take-out is ready. Would you kindly come before it gets cold?" the man who left the message tells you. "End of message," the robotic voice from before returns. Seems like that was all there to it. Better go get that ramen! But oh no! You're not picking up ramen at the restaurant. In fact, the restaurant is actually a building where the communist Russian mafia operates. Or was it a random neo-Nazi gang? Doesn't matter who's operating what or whatever they were up to because now you're going around killing everyone inside and you're not going to stop until they're all dead.
