I currently have Artist’s Block (Writer’s Block for Artist’s) so in the meantime I have been uploading some of my older drawings and will continue doing so, until I can think of some new things to draw. However I will still continue uploading older drawings from time to time as well.

Happy Memorial Day!

We all like to pretend we’re not afraid of anything, but we all have our biggest fears. For me, my two biggest fears are fire, and the possibility of some maniac breaking into my house. What are some of your biggest fears? It can be something more real or something completely fictional, it’s up to you.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Happy Mother’s Day!

We all know of the Survival Horror video game genre but not all games are meant to be scary. Some games that I played scared me for certain reasons despite I don’t think it was intentional. What are some games you would call unintentionally scary? I’ll name a few for myself.

1. Metal Gear Solid/Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (The original PS1 demo of MGS1 scared me as a kid and I can still see it scaring younger kids these days. Particularly the sound of the Alert Phase once you get spotted by the guards). The sequels however didn’t live up to be scary like the original game. (Though it was never meant to be scary to begin with.)
2. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six (Particularly the PS1 version of the game as there is hardly any music in the game and it’s played in almost complete silence. Even when you open doors and hear them close behind you I can’t help but think you’re being followed at times. The N64 version can be scary as well but it seems to have more life in it than it’s PS1 counterpart so that may be why it may not seem as scary.)
3. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Lone Wolf (Unintentionally scary because you are own your own with no back up and when exploring the levels you will often hear enemy guards yell “HEY YOU!” before shooting at you which almost always results in instant death.)
4. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell (Hearing voices and conversations of the enemies going on while you’re trying to sneak past them scared me and my brother when we were kids.)
5. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (Pretty much unintentionally scary for the same reasons of the first game. So far I haven’t seen anything that really scares me in the game’s predecessor Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow.)
6. Tomb Raider I,II, and III. (The fact that when you are going around certain corners in certain levels and you never know when an enemy is waiting for you or heading in your direction. Some of the enemies are pretty scary too like the Yetis in Tomb Raider II as well as the flying statues in the floating islands level. Not to mention the absence of music at times makes jump scares a lot easier.)
7. South Park for N64, PS1, and PC (I have the N64 version but I know the game isn’t meant to be scary as much as it’s meant to be funny but hearing those Turkeys gobbling when you’re on the run from them can be quite terrifying.)
8. Spider-Man The Movie game for PS2, Xbox, and GameCube. (While most of the game is just childish fun the level “Breaking and Entering” as well as the other Oscorp levels are extremely scary when you are trying sneak around and hearing the guards saying “IT’S SPIDER-MAN!” along with them pressing the alarms which sends out the Super Soldiers and you must hide in the shadows from them. It’s extremely scary when you think you’re safe and the Super Soldiers see you and start attacking you. Also the eerie and suspenseful music makes it even scarier. You’d think a Spider-Man game wouldn’t be THAT SCARY!)

What are some video games you’ve played that weren’t meant to be scary but for some reason they just scared the crap out of you?

What’s the most controversial thing you own? I can name at least three for me.

1. THE MOST controversial thing I own is probably a bootleg VHS of Song of the South (1946). It was never officially released on home media in the U.S. but it was released overseas. It’s kind of a bit unfair if you ask me. The one I have is even labeled as Disney’s Banned Video. I’m not racist in any way but I think any fan of classic 2D animated Disney films should have a copy of Song of the South (1946) in their collection.
2. An official MGM DVD release of Clownhouse (1989). It was pulled from shelves a week after it was released due to the controversy that took place behind the scenes with the director and the lead actor.
3. The rarest PS2 game Rule of Rose. Only 15,000 copies were released and the game itself was banned in some countries.

Here are some weird things about myself:

1. Out of all the better known Walt Disney 2D animated classic movies I’ve seen (i.e. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio (1940), Dumbo (1941), Cinderella (1950), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1993), etc.) one of the few well known movies that I’ve never seen is Sleeping Beauty (1959). I find that kind of hard to believe.
2. Even though I watch a lot of bloody violent R-rated action and horror films (mostly from the 70s, 80s, and 90s) and tend to enjoy them I’m not crazy about bloody violence and I tend to avoid watching those kind of movies by going on hiatuses as much as I can. Too much violence in movies is not good to have in your mind and when I watch kids movies I feel much happier and less stressful.
3. Even though I like video games I rarely play on the main home consoles and usually play the handheld games. When it comes to console games I usually just watch my brother play.
4. Even though I like music particularly from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, I rarely listen to music on my free time.
5. I tend to be very old fashioned and prefer the older ways of doing things. I like to live in the past.
6. I don’t watch or keep up with the news.
7. (Some may call this weird) I don’t use social media of any kind. If I didn’t need it years ago I don’t think I would need it now.
8. I am an adult but I usually only watch kids cartoons. I try to avoid watching shows with any inappropriate content.
9. I still play with toys and action figures despite I’m full grown. I even like looking at the toys and action figures in the stores.
10. I seem to get along more with kids and younger teens rather than older teens and adults.

These are some things I consider weird about me. What are some weird things about you?
