First Review: Metroid Other M

So, I realise I've been putting a pretty large emphasis on the writing aspect of this blog, so I figured I'd go a different route and throw up a review of the Wii adaptation of the long-standing Metroid series, Metroid Other M (Yes, I'm aware the first Metroid game for the Wii was actually Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but that was a continuation of the Metroid Prime series from the gamecube, not a brand-new game with a different setting, like Other M is.)

Also, if you haven't played this game and plan to but don't want anything spoiled, don't read this review; I cannot guarantee I will be able to give a spoiler-free review.  All others continue after the break!

Sisterhood of Shadow

A project I was pretty happy with until I ended up hitting a wall; gonna post up what I have, but just remember I'll probably be scrapping this for something better organised.

X4-A2

Random idea I've been toying with for a while.  Don't know what I'm gonna do with it, but I like the idea - any comments/suggestions/ideas would be welcome.

Mountain Dew Cupcakes

So, just randomly stumbling around the internet and ran across this masterpiece that just sounds damn awesome.  I just couldn't help but post it xD

Also Unnamed

Ardulace Melghym sat quietly in the corner of the large room, scowling at her fellow priestesses.  Since the coup months earlier, she had been barricaded within the academy with fourscore adepts.  They had plenty of food to last decades if the need arose, but Ardulace did not have the patience to wait decades.

Phaeratar walked with purpose, but inside he was afraid.  He was headed for the academy for his test.  He was in his last year and knew that he had to pass this test.  But it wasn't like any test he had ever had: he was twelfth in the class, and the test depended on besting a weapon master from a lowly house.  He couldn't even recall the name of the house - Teken'tlar or something - but he knew the man didn't rise to weapon master by being a pushover. 

Order of the Broken Rose

ORDER OF THE BROKEN ROSE

Zak walked calmly through his domain.  This part of the city was his, and he was loathe to let anyone think otherwise. He walked into the brothel and took in the scents.  As always, the air smelled of blood, sweat, and other bodily fluids.  Most of the men who came here loved taking control over the female species.  After all, to take control of those who controlled the  council was the essence of satisfaction.

Head Held High

Head Held High

 

I open my eyes to
the dazed and confused;
those forsaken few that
life has dealt a bad hand.

I Miss You

I Miss You

  

I lay in bed wide-eyed and restless
Looking at the ceiling above me
And I remember what we had then.

Dream Come True

Dream Come True

When I first saw you
I didn't think much
I was too blinded
By the one I "loved"
To even see you

Truth

Truth
 
For months I lived
In ignorance
For months I lived
In ignorant bliss
With those I trusted

Memories of You

Memories of You

Man:  You're always on my mind

            I'm sorry I jumped your case

            I treated you wrong

            And I feel bad

            But we could have talked it out

            Why did you have to leave me?

Tonight Is My Night

Tonight is my night

I asked you to
The weekend formal
But from your answer
I thought you didn't care

Drowning In My Misery

Drowning in my misery

I sit here alone
Pondering about my life
And all the while I start
To realize the truth
About myself and you.

I Wish The Pain Would Subside

Second set of lyrics.

I wish the pain would subside

 

I wish the pain would subside
I wish you would leave me be
I wish you would go away

You Are My One And Only

First in a fairly long line of poems/song lyrics I wrote.

You are my one and only

When the sun rises
When the birds whistle
When the creatures stir
I began to think of you.

Ohai

So, I've had this thing for months and never bothered to use it until now.

Now, some of you might wonder 'the Tao of Draco? Who the fuck is Draco' since you might know me personally.  Well, I've decided that my actual name (Delbert Sand, since I don't give a rat's ass if you know where I'm at) isn't marketable enough, so I spent some time deciding on a proper pseudonym, should I ever get anything written worth published, and decided upon Draco Cunningham.
