2017 KCAs Rant

Hello again one & all Its DJ Dizzy here & the time has come once again to do a rant on none other than the 2017 Kids Choice Wards (KCAs)





Now this year was really no different as far  as some of the events go there were celebs going at it with all kinds challenges such as arm wrestling in green gelatin desserts to Jon Cena battling Nick Cannon in a hip hop freestyle dance off.

Aside from that the nominees well you all know who won for favorite cartoon (Then again its no surprise.) But my initial thoughts on this would have to be only this:

Every year they try to keep things different. While I admit I miss when they would do the honors in which they called the wannabe awards. (I guess they ran out of people to honor.) But overall you partly know who's going to win. So its no secret that the KCAs are nothing more but a farce to get kids to watch the network so they'll air a new episode BEFORE the awards start. (Sometimes they'll air a new show afterward.)

Now I may get some backlash in this but I've seen enough rants to know that the show is fixed which is obvious But I will say this I applaud Nick for bringing their classic cartoons back to their otherwise now dying network.

(I recommend you check out the Splat I'll review it later.) But if anything you can tell that the KCAs are fixed & they'll do what they can to keep SpongeBob number one & get people hooked on watching their shows which some aren't that good.

So I guess my main point of this rant would have to be while its cool to see the KCAs every year for the slime & some unexpected surprises this year it was nothing but movie trailers & mostly commercials. While every year they bombard the show with commercials to get kids into buying a product which they always do. But just stick around to see someone get slimed. That's always the best part needless to say its nothing more but a big fix.

Now with that said I'm out of here but here's some tunes to keep you moving

More to know

More to know- lyrics

(Verse 1)
You think you got me all figured out
it’s time to show you just what I’m all about.
I’m not that same person that you used to know.
You say that you can read me like a book
Get in close & take a better look.
Where’s that person that you knew before?
Well I’m back with something more.


(Chorus)

There’s a lot more to me then just what you think
Get to know me for what’s underneath
I’m no wind up doll or a punching bag for show.
There’s a lot more you know.
Take a good look at what you see
There’s a whole lot more to me.
There’s a lot more to know.


(Verse 2)
I wear no labels on me
So don’t bother giving me one.
I rather wear a badge of pride
Till the day is said & done.
Don’t give me a trophy
Or entitlement to rub in one’s face.
I got just what I need to put the haters in their place.

(Chorus Repeats.)

(Guitar solo, Instrumental) 

(Chorus repeats )

Thought of a DJ: Bringing back the classics

Hello-hello one & all its DJ Dizzy coming at you with a deep thought of mine so pay close attention.

Now I've noticed that there a lot of remakes coming out that of Teen Titans TMNT to name a few but I got a question. WTF? I've noticed that a lot of these classics are getting reboots especially animation wise. The least they can do is bring back the originals the way we remember them like they once were.

If there's one thing some of them don't neccessarilly need its to be remade especially through crappy animation from what I've seen for one that just downgrades the show & the appeal of it all together so the least they can do is just leave it alone as it was intended.

I also wanted to take the time to mention that  some of the more underrated shows of our time are making a comeback in their originality. Such as Clone High, Dexter's Laboratory, Rocket Power, Samurai Jack, The Maxx & Sonic Sat AM to name a few. Now if they can bring back some of those shows back then why not some of the shows we grew up on while there are some that're making are coming back the least we can do is see some more of the classics that we grew up on.

Also if some of you remember when there was a time when TV channels specifically on cable used to have some pretty awesome blocks such as......

The USA Cartoon express

The Action Extreme Team

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcmnJV2SuT4

Just to name a few examples but I digress. These were the shows that were worth waking up to & racing to finish your homework those sure were the days & we should show the next gen about how life was for us & the things we were lucky to have growing up. So my point in all this would be if something isn't broken then don't try to fix it.  And if you should balance out the classics with the remakes that way there's something for everyone.

Well I'm going to be on my way but before hand enjoy some of this

No Shame in it

I've ben meaning to get this issue off my chest so just hear me out on this matter: People are born different for obvious reasons. Take me for example I was born partially blind. Growing up I wanted to be apart of my middle school drill team.

I auditioned only to get turned down because they said that I was "too quick." But the real reason is only this: They saw my handicap & they made fun of me for it. But somethings in life you really don't need.

So I ask you this: Why do we feel like we need to belittle people based on their handicaps or ethnicity anyway? There's alot more to people than just how they look or how we act You could be some really good looking man with a trophy wife & still keep a low profile You could have every trophy ever made but at the same time what have you really accomplished with your life? Even the smartest people can do some dumb things. No matter if they're a genius or prodigy or even a savant.

Case in point: You should never look down on people who may seem different form you because you can learn alot from them (Yeah parents this is also for you too now.) There's a lot more to people than you think. So really get to know whats really going on.

Role playing & Larping

Hello there one & all Its DJ Dizzy here & normally I don't usually do this but this time around I'm covering a little something called role playing games & live action role playing. (I've been doing some studying on it so bear with me.) Here's some insight on it for those who don't know.



 

RPGs or role playing games are games that are played in which the person takes on the role of a character in a video or tabletop game & there's also lie action role playing or LARPIng in which people dress up as the character in a live action re enactment. Larping & RPGs are still done usually depending on who ever might be involved. There's many different types of RPGs to do some of which are video games & tabletop.

Video game RPGs involve people playing a virtual game thus becoming the character within the game itself. Sometimes this is done through larping via motion capture.

Tabletop gaming involves using strategy & determining what the character will do when playing sometimes points are involved depending on what game it is you're playing & also can also be some rules that can be considered complicated.

These are just some examples of what RPGs & Larping are all about though its not done as much the only time you ever really see it done is either at conventions or any other special events.

There are also plenty more games that may involve larping or RPGs such as:

The Legend of 6 Rings.

Laser Tag

Onimusha Dawn of Dreams

Ninja Gaiden

Soul Caliber

World of Warcraft & many others

These are just a few games that involve strategy & sometimes can be great to play either with one or many more players. As for me though I'm a beginner I've played my fair share of a few fighting games & strategy as well.

Dragonball Super Review

Hello to everyone on the internet & between its the DJ coming at you full throttle! This time around I'm talking about an anime that's back once again that of Dragon Ball Super.

Now after seeing a few episodes of this show I have to say that its just like watching DBZ Kai but I couldn't help but think of it as a precursor to that other show Dragon ball GT (I'll cover that travesty later on.) But anyway from what I saw there's mew alien cat named Beerus & what he does is go around traveling around sampling different cuisines of planets & if he doesn't like them he destroys them depending on if the food is good to him or not. (Douchebag food critic anyone?) But anyway as for our herpes We have Goku who's taken on the role of farmer turned millionaire & Vegeta who's still obsessed with beating him & he's a family man at that.

There's also Hercule who now answers to Mr. Satan (& no you didn't read that wrong that is his last name!) But anyway he's still considered a hero to some however when I saw this show I couldn't help but wonder why they did what they did to the characters I mean its probably a precursor to GT & DBZ Kai but still I couldn't really watch it. Mostly because the plot hardly made sense that & its kind of much.

So to Dragon ball Super unfortunately I'll gave to give this anime a solid 1 which is perhaps the lowest score I've given anything but needless to say that while DBZ is pretty cool I do like DBZ Kai however this is one show I could do without/ But also I couldn't get over Hercule's last name is Mr. Satan that just doesn't sit so well with me. But overall this really isn't working for me.

DJ recommends: The Legend of Five Rings

Hey there everyone its DJ Dizzy here & this time around I'm taking a break from my usual routine to talk about tabletop gaming. One game I found myself learning is the Legend of Five Rings. (Ask questions later)

It takes place in feudal Japan & is hugely involves aspects of some other Asian cultures. The Great Clans which can be up to seven or eight clans which have a well known reputation of some kind & each of them play  a huge role depending on what warrior class the character might be in.

The five rings represent the elements such as earth, wind, fire, air,  & void but represents 8 traits such as willpower, stamina, perception, agility, intelligence, awareness, & reflexes, but can limit character development  which would be the four rings that represent the elements while void can increase a characters inner strength. A character can only advance if both rings' traits are associated with one another.

The dice system uses 10 sided dice & uses what's called a roll & keep  with that you or your opponent can decide what number of dice is rolled or kept in the game.  When the dice or die is rolled a ten  it would then 'explode' in said situation then the player can roll up to three times.

As for character creation there can be 2 ways to create it such as a dice roll to determine its attributes depending on a number of points to spend & create but you can't do this with a ronin character because they start at a higher level. Points within a character can raise its skill levels while void rings & traits do the same you can also use these to gain new skills by way of purchase.

Here's an instructional video for those who are beginners or new to the game.

So if strategy based RPG games are your thing then this is a definite recommendation its a great way to learn about strategy & character building also its a good way to pass the time when you might be bored. (I suggest playing it with a few friends.) But it is a great game no less that has a lot to offer.

Well that's my recommendation for this month which I hope you enjoy. Just thought I'd try something a little bit different this time around as I mentioned in the introduction anyway here's hoping you enjoyed it.

And to close things out here's some music inspired from the series.
