AC Figueroa's Crazy Talk

Weird coincidence or Deja Vu?

Woke up from a nightmare where people treat me like crap because of the errors I did in the past.

After getting out of bed, and when I was going to write about that, people were talking crap here because I couldn't be there today because of my priorities.

Deja Vu? (Not being sarcastic. It actually happened.)

Rumors about the “Nintendo NX” and cartridges.

Greetings folks! Once again rumors are running rampant about the “Nintendo NX” (well actually they never stopped, LOL!). Folks, easy. Those are just rumors. Everybody is losing their minds about the latest one:

“HEY, DID YOU HEAR!? APPARENTLY NINTENDO IS GOING TO MAKE THE NX A CARTRIDGE BASED CONSOLE! THE HORROR!!!”

“WHA-WHA-WHAAAT!?!? THAT IS GOING TO BE A SURE FAIL, LOL!!!”

First thing, this is not the ‘90s. The technology of the storage capacity and efficiency of solid (state?) media these days is way more better than the optic drive ones, especially wildly popular Blu-Ray. However, the cost of making a “cartridge” vs a disc is still a problem. Then again and in my opinion I think is not going to be an insane cost.

And the other thing; IS JUST A RUMOR! Don’t believe rumors! The rumor before this one was “the system is going to be driveless”. And later was “there is going to be two versions of the systems, one with a drive and the other will be without one”.

So don’t jump to conclusions. let just patiently wait. And don’t believe everything we read from unconfirmed sources. And also remember: 90% of the video games journalists are paid by competitors to talk trash about their rivals.

So until then, ADIOS FRIENDS, BYE AMIGOS!

Nostalrius vs. Blizzard and Legacy Servers: A Quick Opinion.

As simple as this: I don’t know what to say. Some people are pissed about the fact that they couldn’t play the game in the way and form it was when they first started playing. I agree with them. Is not fair. Some other people say that this is the way this MMORPG’s are. All of this games keep evolving and changing. And if you don’t like the way these games are maybe is time for you to move on to something else. Harsh, but I also kind of understand. Kind of. Anyway, my opinion is not about that. Is about people giving an opinion on a subject that they don’t understand because they never had this game experience, neither good or bad. Don’t give an opinion on a subject that you don’t know or even LIKE.

Voice your opinion. Don’t Cyberbully.

Good day folks! Yesterday something happened on the internet. Yep, “the same o’ same o’”. Someone said something inappropriate and everyone jumped to this person’s throat. And I have to be honest, in my personal opinion, it was a horrible statement. DID YOU KNOW WHAT I DID NEXT!? I simply “physically” ignored this person. You now, like when you change the channel on TV when you see something on the tube that you don’t like. The same applies online. Don’t like something, just don’t visit or say anything about this person online. Ignore/mute/block. Yes, you have the right to denounce this “ugly” people when they do horrible things. But keep in mind that sometimes when you voice your opinion about something it can backfire like the person who made that horrible comment. And this is why I’m not going to promote this person or what it did, although you probably know by now. In my personal opinion, I think that this person got no capacity, but is no excuse for the horrible thing that was said.

And I’m getting to the point of this blog: Cyberbullying is not going to change what it was said, makes you look like you have less capacity than this person, and makes you worse than this person.

The best thing to do is ignore and don’t say any good or bad of this person around here. Like most thing on the internet, it will dissipate.  Let’s just applaud and support people doing good stuff instead. Like everybody who was involved in in the St. Jude Play LIVE (check here for info: http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/PageServer?pagename=playlive_home ). So that’s it friends. My 2 cents about the whole situation. Have a nice day!

The “Traitor” trooper theory. *THE FORCE AWAKENS SPOILERS HERE!*

OK, that’s it. A lot of people have something to say about the electric baton-wielder trooper that yelled “TRAITOR” to Finn and fought him on one of the most memorable scenes of the movie (some people are calling him TR-8R). So I have a theory, not about who he really is, but about why waste some of the amazing fights of the movie with a random trooper just to kill him at the end: I think that the fight was the original idea of a confrontation between Finn and Captain Phasma. It make sense. Probably that is was meant to happen and at the end the decided to change the outcome and “save” Phasma for a bigger part in the sequel(s) and preserve the continuity of events of the original script.

Now if they could find a way to convincingly brought him back... it would be cool.

Comedy and Jokes

Hey it’s me! AC! Welcome back. This was suppose to be the content of my first video on YouTube, and probably the last. I’m having a lot of issues, not with YouTube, but with Google “one account”. But this is not of what I’m going to talk about.

A couple of days before I published this post a comedian called Nicole Arbour published a video with the theme “Dear Fat People’. She bluntly made fun of overweight people supposedly to motivate them to lose weight. This, as you probably know by now, caused an outrage in and out of the web. Before I say anything else I’ll say this:

My name is AC and I’m fat. And I don’t care. Well... sort of. Yes! I know that I need to take better care of myself. But I learned to love myself and what I do no matter how I look. And also accept the consequences of what I do, and don’t. And not blame anyone. And with that said, I’ll say this: I saw the video. It’s was harsh and she went way out of hand, but for me it wasn’t a big deal. Let me tell you more, I have been bullied almost all my life. I hated school so much. The kids there always called me a lot of names and even hit me with everything they had at hand. Daily. And here is the funny thing; I never minded being called names about being fat. I suffered a lot thru my life. I even tried to commit suicide twice in my life. But never for being fat.

I’m not saying that she was right or trying to defend her, but at last I’m getting to the point of this post; it’s all about what your principles are (if you have any of course). Even if you don’t admitted, we all make fun of something. And somebody will not like it. Here’s and example:

“A puertorrican, a jew and an american go into a bar and...”

‘REALLY!? That’s offensive and RACIST!!!”

“But I haven’t finished the joke! But you’re probably right... here: “Remember that joke of Eddie Murphy about buying ice cream and running behind the truck? And the driver drive an extra block on purpose to see the kids run? At the end Eddie buys the ice cream, start dancing, drop the ice cream and picked back up and eat it? HAHA”

“... that was a mean joke. Ice cream truck driver making the poor kids run...”

“... yeah. And I had a cousin who died while running wildly into the street. Got hit by a car and died.”

“YEAH! And, and... YOU WANT KIDS TO DIE!? The kid ate the ice cream that was dropped on the floor. He could get a virus or a bacteria and DIE!!!”

“Ooook, something funny that happened to me when I was a kid at my uncle’s property. There was this beautiful hill full of grass with a flamboyán tree on top. I seated under the tree, plucked a grass leaf, and tried to whistle with it, but I finished with all my hands and clothes full of drool, HAHA!”

“HAHA! I see... you are an assassin.”

“Yeah!... wait what?”

“An assassin of mother earth. Did you know that plants are the lungs of the planet? And when you plucked that leaf you pluck a piece of mother earth lungs...”

“Yeah, and also I had a friend that fell a sleep drunk, choked and died on his own drool. Please don’t make drool jokes...”

OH MY GOD!!!... But seriously, that was me some time ago. And this is the best example I can give of me trying to make people laugh my way and be respectful to everyone. Some way or another, someone with be offended by your jokes. You can do one of three things: Make jokes, try not to offend anyone, and if someone get offended, apologize and carry on. You can also take advantage of living in a free country and do whatever you what. or simply DON’T MAKE JOKES.

Me? I’ll go with the first one.  And the most important thing is no matter what you do or say, accept the consequences of your actions because good or bad, you probably deserve it.

 That’s it folks! until next time: ADIOS FRIENDS! BYE AMIGOS!!!

My You Tube and Twitch (and possibly You Tube Gaming?) videos and streaming postponed... again.

Hi everybody. Today I decided to postpone, yet again, the creation of videos and streaming on You Tube, Twitch and possibly YouTube Gaming. “What is your excuse now?” Simple: the imminent release of Windows 10. Windows 10 is going to come with Directx 12, with is going to make PC’s with APU’s (like my main) to work smoother and give an overhaul to graphics and video. Windows 10 is going to be around on July 29 and if you have Windows 7 or a later  version, is going to be free for one year.

I could just try to make videos so I can just practice and get more experience along the way, but that could complicate things if Windows 10 and Directx 12 change the way thing are made on that matter, or I just simply wait a little bit more of a month and start make videos and streaming on the new operating system. I decided for the latter. Do you have an advice or a different opinion about what should I do? Feel free to let me know.

Until then, BYE AMIGOS! ADIOS FRIENDS!!!

Twitch fundraisers and... alcohol

Hi everyone! This is my first post on tumblr. And, this is just an opinion. Or a concern. Or a rant, whatever! You decide! But besides that this is more like a personal experience or realization. Well, three days ago a couple of gamers were doing a fundraising campaign for St Jude Children’s Hospital on Twitch and it went great in most of their channels. And some of them were doing the drinking challenge. I was seeing on one of my favorite channels this girl drinking and playing. And it was cool and funny. But somewhere between the broadcast I stopped watching and came back several hours later. The Twitch broadcaster was completely wasted. And I don’t even know how she managed to keep broadcasting and playing. And, something happened. To me. I got worried about this unknown girl. How this is relevant? I’M A DRUNK. I drink 1/2 a litter of rum every night. Normally something like that didn't concern me, just make me laugh. But that was the first time I was concern about the health of somebody else health even if is was for a fundraising campaign. I’m not saying that “YOU SHOULDN'T DRINK!!!” or whatever. I’m the worst role model about that. I just want to say that, yes, I’m old. But that was the first time I REALLY FELT OLD. And also it was the first time I got concern about people drinking and how they handle it no matter if is for a good cause or not. I... I don’t know... just, accept the consequences of your actions and sacrifices. And continue to be brave. And stay save. God Bless you all. Even if you believe or not.
