Apocalypse Watch: Val Verde

40 years. Plenty of time for it to happen

I don't want to post too much about my faith and stuff, because that's not what this Blog is, was mean to be, or I want it to be about. But...



...Some lady decided to say we are gonna get hit with a Tsunami. Wut?

For those of you who who are Spanish impaired, this nice lady is saying that she got a letter from someone in Venezuela,  who seemingly got a vision from God, where he's saying we've done fucked up now with our Gays and our Baals, and he's sending us the wave, a Tsunami that will apparently reach in as afar as a couple of municipalities/and/or the whole island. And very few will survive.

I'm usually not the kind of guy who believes any prophecy...and I'm not about to start now. People talk for God all the time, because they know  some people are too stupid to see their made up shit. Oh, yeah, this year it's the Tsunami.  "God-through-prophets" has said for years we're gonna get an earthquake/Tsunami/Deadly Hurricane. But I think we should challenge and analyze  prophecy for veracity. The Bible says that, and I'm a terrible Christian.

This? It's full of holes. Apparently God wants us to save  our supplies of Food for the crisis. If the whole island is underwater because of a Tsunami, how is my crushed up remains  supposed to get to  my can of Lima beans? And how come it's us? We've got like a million churches, each more anti-gay than the last. Hell, some of our politicians are trying to make our constitution less gay-friendly. We get a Boys Don't Cry-like crime almost twice every year and the only outrage is from  the Gay movement. Whattaya want, Lord?  What's that?
Kill? You...Oh, CHIIILL.I thought you where ordering me to murder.


Still, it's worth the thought: What's the plan? Sure, there's no plan if it's as dramatic as what she says. I guess, pray a lot and stuff bla bla bla. Sure, it's good for surviving the stuff, maybe. Beyond the prophesy, stuff, though, if our island's whole coast was flooded, we'd be in deep shit. Most of the food and other products we consume are imported, and most of that comes in ships. A flood would probably block the arrival of such necessities as medicine, food, and hairgel(necessary for breeding over here). Within a short span of time life as we know it would be strained. And let me put it this way: We had wounded on a Toy giveaway line. It's safe to say a foodline in here would be catastrophic.

So I need to plan for that.

First, I'm learning as many survivalist skills as possible. I don't want to wait for food, and I probably suck at looting. It's not about having cans of corned beefanyway: I'm gonna have to learn to produce my own food, and I'm hoping it's more in a simple agriculture way than in a "bear grills" kind of way.


Second, I know where to head that the zombies won't find me: the cemetery: My granny has a house that a funeral company built around on. There's land to grow stuff, it isn't too populated, and it's nicely fenced/creepy, which should keep supersticious and cowardly criminals at bay until they run out of bullets. And it's not too far from a river. I don't like not having water. It parches and kills me.

Finally, I'm preparing a backpack with provisions for it. Rope, slingshot and the instructions to starting civilization anew.

Oh, that's right, I'm starting civilization anew.  I know, it's pretty cool.
Note: must learn how to make pants.



See, I think you should see the good in everything, and while island spanning disaster and famine usually don't rank as  good unless you are making a movie inspired by them, it's also an opportunity for quick social ascension. With our government  in tatters and America very likely abandoning us(and how our already crippling debt and endangered credit would fare, I can't fully blame them.), the island would be ripe for rebirth. I will rechristen the new nation Val Verde.

Yes, Val Verde, like the fictional country you've read about that always shows up in movies. Here is our beautiful flag and  and coat of arms.


In Val Verde, my Latin is good.





I'm sure your flag is a blatant ripoff too.
















Then there's also the issue of  chain of command.

Hey, Megalomania is as good a hobby as any.

But it isn't all  80s action movies in Val Verde. I, being one of the few who remembered how to agriculture shit, will trade small amounts of food for  prelooted furniture and virgins. Hey, I need to repopulate the island, you know? I'm like Abraham, now:Willing to get a little side action going as long as  they'll remember it  was for the greater goodish...
I'll take it! No, just  the chick!

If this sounds really vacuous and nasty as a way to deal with a serious and sad scenario, think of  it like this: If I survive something like the proposed, I'm not doing it so that those who didn't can tell me what to do from their watery raves. And 'sides, it's not any darker than proposing this is God's will for us if it isn't true. Wich is exactly what I fear this lady might be doing. Don't stick your words in God's tongue, kids!

Changes: what do they mean to you?

As you may have noticed, there have been some changes 'round here. I've updated the look to the Blog, as you may have noticed, and thanks to DJRM's advise, my tags are less shitty everyday. But there's more I want to announce.

This Blog has very  little structure, but I have managed  to work in  some features non-constantly. But how will you know when I'm just venting senselessly or when I'm kinda sorta lying for clicks joking? Well, allow me to introduce the new Feature Identification Buttons! This will let you, the client, know exactly what  you will find
below it without having to read. For newer readers, it should provide a little background on the way we do things here.

 The Staple of Internet writing. I copied  was very inspired by Cracked's format. Hey, if it ain't broken why fix it?





 There are movies that are fun to talk about, especially if they are bad. I try o be insightfull, but I'm mostly not. It's ussually a movie I saw recently, either in the cinema or otherwise.

This one is new! I am working on a feature where I talk about a game for each year I've lived. 

"Hey, guys, I'm working on a game, that I will invariably forget to keep working on and will never tell you!"
I draw sometimes, and sometimes do bad photoshops.

 Deviant Art is a fun place to post terrible art. As a bad artist, I feel no shame in pointing out exactly what is wrong with people's art.


 I leak secrets that no one would (or should) believe.

I've begun considerations to do Bilingual Blogging, but I'm afraid I might be too lazy for it. And since this is Bestgeekeverpr, I would have to change all this to my other blog and make this one in Spanish. Hurm. But I'll let you guys know if anything develops on that front.

My DLC picks for Marvel vs Capcom 3

Which reminds me it's almost mango season over here...


We're on our final stretch of MVC3 watch, with only short weeks before Capcom takes us all for a ride. I say the roster is mostly full of great choices so far.

But...rumor has it the final reveals are...very sad. Akuma and Sentinel in. Megaman and Bison out.

I think it's an unfortunate choice to put Akuma in when Bison offers so much more in gameplay terms. And Sentinel...I would rather Cable be in. You can't please the Tier whores unless you make him God King of the Dojo again. And who wants that?


So we pin our hopes on DLC. I'm a little wary of it. They already announced Jill "The Master of Unlocking" and Shuma "Been in all of 12 comics" Gorath are in the download pipeline, together costing less than 20 bucks. I don't feel this is ripoff only in that Jill and Shuma are completely unessential to me. Seriously thought they weren't gonna make it and I did not give a damn.


But which Characters I would pay for, though, read on!






The Thing 
Lousy, no good crossovers...


Some would argue that Thing would be far too similar to Hulk in  moves. Those people would probably argue against She Hulk being in, so they have no bearing here. I think The Thing's  major difference should be his resistance: He should be superarmored, which I think Hulk is not.


 Misty Knight
Happy non-lethal retaliation day!

Misty Knight is Marvel's Blaxsploitation inspired female character. She is a bionic armed African American lady with Big hair and a bionic arm and kung fu skills. In an era where people don't think  movies like Sucker Punch or Cowboys and Aliens are too tacky to exist, who can argue that Misty Knight shouldn't be in MVC3?


Ultron
Quick test: Why would a robot SIT?


 Ultron is a robot who wants to erradicate all life. I think Ultron's time to shine fast aproaches, and he would indeed be better than Sentinel.
 

 Amadeus Cho
That face tattoo really brings out the woman in you!

Amadeus Cho is a super-genius Asian of sorts. His inventions and wit have made him an internet favorite. So he's awesome ,but not a lot of media to show. D'Oh!
Alas, poor Antman. I knew him. He was a man of gaudy taste who once slapped his wife.





 Sigma
Sigma, voiding Zero's warranty

Sigma is a robot who wants to erradicate all life. I think Sigma's time to shine fast aproaches, and he would indeed be better than Akuma.

Sigma has taken many forms duting his tenure. While his moves should encompass a anything he did in the Megaman X series short of giant robot forms, his original Green armored dude with a lightsaber is my choice of look.

 Vanessa Schneider
She's a Private Dancer! Dance until Morning! Shoot at some robots and things!

Vanessa is from the Gamecube 3rd person P.N.03. While the game hasn't exactly become Capcom's signature game, the main character's style, fighting and  attacking enemies while gyrating to the beat, would be crazy awesome to have in this game. A flipping, shaking rhythmical fighter! How cool would that be?

Linn Kurosawa
I'd be scared to see someome that happy draw a sword.

Not a chance!? I know! But...hear me out! Linn Kurosawa is great! She can like, cut people up with a Katana!  w.. Oh you already have that? She can , like SHOOT with guns that...Oh, that too. Still, she is awesome, and Cameod around Capcom for many yea...Oh, you are right! I already said all this in my old post. It still stands for reason she's an interesting character who could balance the new faces.

Phoenix Wright
Still Waiting...

Opinion polls confirm Phoenix Wright is one of the most sought after characters for this game. This is it, Capcom. It's money, sitting across your table. I know yo tried to put him in other games and failed. But now the time is ripe. With DLC, you have time to nail whatever it is wasn't working down. Some people think a lawyer with no fighting skills would be ridiculous in a fighting game. And I agree.

That is exactly what would make it awesome.

He'd be  a new Jin, a new Capt. Falcon. After this, no one will wonder what  Phoenix Wright would be like in a fighting game. No one would imagine a fighing game without Phoenix Wright.
