Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, is a fun adventure RPG game for all consoles except the PSP. The game uses Marvel Comics superheroes like Wolverine, Spiderman, Captain America, Iron man, etc. etc., 24 playable superheroes and super villains in all.
Gameplay for this game is just like early X-Men Legends games for the Playstation, Xbox, and Gamecube. It has an over head top down view of the game, although in some parts of missions there is a side scrolling view, which looks great. Sometimes the camera will be stuck in a place where enemies can not be seen or other character can’t be seen. I would have to move towards the other characters on the screen.
Superheroes can be placed into a team of four of any of the available characters. Recreating The Fantastic Four, Classic Avengers, Classic X-men, Thunderbolts, or just random hero teams. Some of the characters have to be unlocked through recruiting missions. Where that Character will have to either fight alone or with a team against a lot of enemies and sometimes solves puzzles like planting bombs or using enemies that blow up cars. All of the missions are a little different for each character. Some of them even have bosses like The Lizard, or Scorcher.
The Superheroes can level up and gain new attacks with experience points, these attacks can do some good damage when the levels are high enough. Leveling is automatic though, which I would rather level up manually.
Superheroes can combine their powers and use fusion attacks, which are activated by moving the nunchuk left to right and then pointing with the wiimote and pressing A on another hero to team up with the hero who had fusion power, which does massive amounts of damage. They are stars power ups that can be picked up, but can be used only once until another is picked up. One of my favorites is the skeet shot for Deadpool and any other hero that can shoot projectiles, like Cyclops, Ms. Marvels, and Iron Man. Hulk and Spiderman have an attack where Hulk lifts a piece of the ground or a wall and throws to Spiderman who catches it with his web and smashes it on an Enemy. So Fusion Attacks are good and they bring back the heroes to life, so they can be used as medicine packs too. They are hard to find though. I usually get them after beating up so many enemies.
Also used in the game are medals or ribbons that can add defense, power, superhuman ability or Strength to the heroes.
Even the loading screens look great. Most of them use propaganda posters for the Marvel Civil War. Or Deadpool bored watching TV.
All the Superheroes say cheesy stuff when they are chosen; Deadpool has the best ones because he breaks the fourth wall and talks about being in a videogame like he does in his comic books where he mentions being a comic book.
This game is based off the Marvel Civil War series from Carvel Comics, where all super heroes were subject to superhero registration act, which drafted them for the government. Some of the heroes rebelled and formed an alliance with Captain America, and the others registered with Iron man. This series is similar to the Crisis on Infinite Earths by DC Comics because it changed the Marvel Universe forever, just like Crisis did for DC.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is a great game especially for Marvel Comics fans or RPG, adventure fans. It’s an adventure game with RPG element like leveling up character, and having teams. The only complaint was the camera moving where I couldn’t see the enemies I was fighting, and heroes can get stuck in some places. The game has frozen up too, but to me these are minor problems because I can keep moving the heroes around to get unstuck.
It’s a fun game there are tons of missions to play. There are 24 playable characters with unique abilities and it’s based on a great comic book series. A few minor problems with the camera and some traps for the heroes, but it still fun enough to play and it’s really long. Great storyline good voice acting, good CGI Animation cut scenes. I give it 8.5 out of 10.

This morning, while I was driving to work I was thinking about the creation of Adam and Eve. What led me to this is a couple days ago, my wife, said "I wonder who ever came up with being a doctor anyway?" I mean it is kind of an out of the ordinary job anyway if you think about it. I mean you're not really selling anything but your service to your patients. But this morning I was thinking about how God made Adam and Eve. I've heard this before, that God was the first surgeon, he fashioned Eve out of one of Adam's ribs while he was put to sleep by God. And Adam was made out of sand. Then I got to thinking, how can we believe this? the simple answer was because it happened and because God did it. Anything that he's done is believable. it always puzzles how people could believe in all these other religions and all these other Gods and they can't believe in Jesus Christ. Their stories always seem a lot more crazy to me than the story of the Passion of Jesus Christ. It's like it almost doesn't make sense to me for them to believe it. I don't want to disrespect these people or anything like that. I mean I've been wrong before too, but should they really be wrong their whole life? No, of course not, that's one of the key reason's why we should witness to people. I don't want to tell anybody how to live and I don't have to that's not our job really. It's just to share the love of Jesus Christ with people, and to love Jesus ourselves.
Another thing occurred to me while I was driving to get a drink for my lunch. I was listening to Spoken, an older song, "People Get Ready, (Jesus is Coming)," there is a part of revelations, (and I might be quoting this wrong) that says Christ will come back when every nation, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Maybe it's when he actually phyiscally comes back to Earth. But it makes a lot of sense because he will definitely be here in all our hearts at that time. Jesus is still on Earth. Jesus is in our hearts, therefore in our minds.
I've been reading, Everyday Deserves a Chance by Max Lucado He wrote that by every day God is making you more like Jesus Christ. He's shaping you to be more like Jesus Christ more like himself. So that you can have a better life that you want to live a better life on, and it's not on your own merit, it's done with Jesus Christ.

The future is yours
it is time again to blog... August has seemed to be going by fast. Yesterday to me went by really fast. It's been really hot outside, where I work it gets to like 100 degrees everyday. I am not kidding. I'm glad my office is air conditioned though, but thew rest of the lab really isn't. So it makes me more tired when I go home. it's weird how temperature can put you to sleep. I prefer the cold when I sleep though.
heather and I have been watching the Beverly Hills Cop movies from netflix, because she couldn't believe that I never saw them. I mean they're just Eddie Murphy movies from the 80's which is a decade that he owned by his movies. Now all his movies are terrible. But these are pretty good.
Patrick, Nick and I saw GI Joe while Heather and Sarah saw some girly lame movie with that guy from 300 and that girl from grey's anatomy. It was really good, I was surprised by how good it was actually. The jokes were terrible but so what's it's GI Joe it's meant to be cheesy. I really want to play the new videogame too it looks like quite an omage to the old arcade game that I used to play at chuck e cheese as a kid, not just last year.
Lately I've just been thinking about what I should do for a career, and I want to do something that includes the teachings of Christ too within my career. I still want to be a writer, but really I just want to be an artist. of what I don't know. But it's fun to dream. I just know that I'm probably not going to work here forever, which isn't bad, but I just want to do something that I really enjoy doing. God always has the best plans for us so why not seek out those plans?
It feels good to be somewhere where I can reach others with my faith, and through the church that we are going to we are doing that. I know that what we do they might not seem like a lot to anybody sometimes, but there is something always deeper when it comes from Christ. Heather is teaching two year olds bible stories during church, and I am running sound for the first service and I have filmed the second service once. It is good to feel welcomed there and good to have a church that wants to really save the whole world. I want to do more work like this more production work, it's fun and I'm not bad at it. I don't know where to start though. That's the hardest part for me where do you go? Where does it all being?
I have been praying for the Tindall family in their move, and I just want them to find their ministry there in California like they did here. I know they will never stop wanting what Gods wants from them. All of them know how important the ministry is to the world and they are some of the kindest people I have ever met. I pray that God will bless them there.

In a writing mode
I got my writing mode back on again. I trying to write Dynamic Dirt the first page again, now at work. I have to say this could be a really long story and it could possibly take some time to finish but I started writing it again. Maybe I should post the first page here when it's done.
In other news I don't like Paul McCartney's new meatless monday song at all it's so terrible maybe I should put a link up here. It's just seems like he didn't put enough time into this and it's such a bad recording too. alright I will put a link up
http://www.supportmfm.org/
Now it is a challenge. He set this up as a challenge for other people to make a better song than that one. Well I can see why it didn't sound so good on the radio now since it is a video though. Now that I've watched the video I think I know why he made it so bad now, but then it's Paul McCartney and he could have done a better song than this. I don't support what the song is about though. But I had written a song back in high school about Meat called "Meat is Good," And it's not a great song either, but at least it's fun to listen to. The only reason why I could see how someone could like this song is because of what's it's about, and that it's catchy. That's it.
I also thought about this, Catholics already have a meatless day of the week in their diet. Now you can eat fish on this day, but that's it, if you want to eat meat. It's Friday It's a fish friday it definitely sounds better too me than a meat less monday. It's Monday I got to have meat during some meals, I do, it makes the meal better for me, it definitely fills me up more and it makes it the better meal, it just taste so good. I don't want to have to give up meat for monday, but the point I was trying to make is what if some catholics Christians sign up for this, it would be two days without meat for them. And that doesn't sound or taste good to me. I'm not Catholic, and I don't want to say anything bad about them, but it came to me. Meat is healthy, It's good for you, it's got protein it's good for you.
I know it's a big movement and everything, but that doesn't make it a good thing.
There is a good movement going on though that I know of, it's part of Max Lucado's new book entitled Fearless, and it's called the army of courage. he's wants people to sign up to take a symbolic stance against fear. The army has grown to over 6,000 now I have already joined. I'm looking forward to this book it's sounds so good. Check it out at Upwords.com his personal website fore his books. What better time then now to talk about fear. Fear is always in the media and it's a big part of it, And I know that they are trying to warn about what is happening or sometimes what might happen. Regardless the news should not be printed if it's just rumors but sometimes that's printed.
I watched a town meeting hall that Max did it's on his website, and it was really cool, he took questions from a small audience of maybe 50 or 60 people there and he really only answered like five or six questions most of them were from the world wide web. He set this up to where if had a question about fear and Christianity you could ask it through facebook or twitter if you weren't there.
He seemed so focused about the questions and so ready to deliver a good answer, It was like he had the questions before the he did the show. Which wouldn't be a bad idea. Some of the questions were How can I not be in fear when it's all over the media with ecomnomy being the way it is? How do I know that I'm going to Heaven? And there were some more. It was good to watch here and it made my long day at work go by faster. it sounds like a great book. My parents have so many Max Lucado books and I tried to read one and I found that I really like his style of writing a lot. he tells a lot of stories when he writes and they're from his life, they're things that really happened to him. I always like that in writing. it's good to get a story in a Christian Inspirational book it's something that makes it so much better and it gives you more prespective of why they think the way that they do when they give points about being a Christian today.
I feel like I've written a lot I think I should end this here I'm just in a writing a mode today and I like it, I always like that mode to be in.

I don't even care anymore
not really I do care about a lot of stuff actually.
I can't believe I only posted twice in a month that's crazy for me anyways, I used to do this every day. I don't even know why I did anymore back then, but at least back then I had over 60 subscribers that commented regularly. It's hard to believe that I had that much or that I even created a trend back then.
Heather, Patrick and I went and saw some bands tonight it was ok. It's just not that much exciting anymore. Unless everyone's really good. Maylene and the Sons of Disaster was awesome, Bunny man playing guitar was awesome, their Dummer was amazing, somehow I always find myself watching the drummer at a show because he's got to be the best part of the band, without a good drummer your band is going to suck. I used to watch drummers just so I could keep time better when I'm playing bass and it works. The others weren't quite as good as they were. I like Secret and Whisper I have since I first heard them on Myspace an they were pretty great live, but they had some technical difficulties their drums sounded awful and it totally wasn't their drummer's fault. It was how he was in the sound system, for the first couple songs he really wasn't in it at all and then they miced his drums and it sounded a little bit better. They still needed more rythmn Guitar in the monitors too. It was a bad mix for them, their songs were good though. I didn't like the other two bands and I don't really want to write about them, they were kinda boring. It's far too late for me to be doing this I really shouldn't procrastinate writing these anymore.

Does it really matter to be somebody?
I read an article from Keith Green, who was a Christian Musician, talking about when he did get well known in the Christian Music scene there were tons of fans who ask how they could get started in their own Music Ministry. But they didn't ask him how to become a missionary or a street preacher. My first thought was they're asking him this because he was a Big Christian Music star, and not a missionary, not a street preacher. He might have done that work too; I don't know I just know him for his music. But his real point was why are Americans so star struck, why do we want the glory? Why do we want to put us in the forefront and not Jesus? Why does it matter to us to be so well known? And he goes to say while we are praising these Christian Artists, we should really be praising their purpose in their music, which is worshiping God.
His answer to this question was always the same, which is, and I'm paraphrasing here, are you willing to give up your music, and your life basically to follow Jesus, throughout this ministry? Which is the same question that Jesus asked the Disciples. Are they willing to give up their old life and follow Jesus no matter what the future will bring us? He said that they would always answer, Yes. But he would doubt that they knew the cost of doing this, and that's because we don't know this at all really. We don't know where God will take us, but we trust that where he is taking us is good. Of course it is good; we just don't know the future of our life.
Sure we all want to be known, but does it really make our lives any better to be famous? I don't think it does and there's definitely proof in that if you watch entertainment news. What are we really seeking here? Fame and fortune for ourselves or fame and fortune for God's kingdom? Obivisiously God has chosen some people to be popular in the world; I learned this in high school. With all that popularity none of it really matters if it's not for God's glory. That people who are not popular could actually be doing more meaningful work, and of course it can the other way around too, but it really doesn't matter how well known you are in this world, just that you're serving God.
From the time that I was 11 I have wanted to be in a band, and I have been in some, but I never really wanted to be famous. Sure I still want to record cd's and all that other stuff, but I really just want to write music and have it be heard by others. It's something that simple that can become something so complex. The complex part is really the business part. You don't have to make money at what you do in life, but I bet it would be nice to be able to do what you want for money, but if it's not for God then it's meaningless. It's just you and we all know that we don't walk alone in our Christian Walk. We need to include God in what we do, no matter how big we can get through our work, we must remember who made this possible, God. And we should teach others in hopes that they can feel the same Love that we have that comes from God.
We watch these stars and I noticed today that they really aren't mythed by their fame; it's just their life now. It's like they've gotten used to it. And sure it has changed them, but once they get over that it's just life for them. That their overwhelming sense because of their achievements have fallen flat and that's it's the past for them. It’s just part of their life now and it doesn't really matter that they're famous anymore.
So it really doesn't matter if you’re somebody or a nobody in this life, just as along you are serving God in what you are doing.

updates
I emailed my testimony to Mosaic Church, which is the church that we go to, and they decided to print it in their bulliten, which I didn't ask them to do or expect them to do, but I thought it was cool. They did have to edit it down to fit the required word amount for the bulliten, but that's ok it sounded really good, and nothing was really changed, not that I thought they would change it.
Our old Pastor, Pastor Dave who married us asked us if he could get our autographs for the buliten, which was funny. We didn't though, but he did say that he was going to have it framed for his house. That's nice.
Also, last Sunday I began my training to run sound for church, and I pretty much ran the sound for the second service, and part of the first service. Johnathan Chandlier their Audio Engineer taught me a lot and directed me during the service. It really was a lot more complex than I thought it was when running sound he told me that the congregation is really what you want to watch, they should be worshiping and that you can measure how good you are doing by how they well they are worshiping. We play this one song "God of the City," which is a really good song that can really get the whole congregation worshiping. It's quite a different perspective when you're able to see everybody in church. I liked it a lot I had fun it was challenging and at first I didn't think I could do it because I never really have I mean had been taught a little bit when I live in Oregon and went to church at Eastside, but that was nothing like what we have at Mosaic. Mosaic has some really good equipment for sound, and for recording. So I'm going to do the same thing this Sunday too.
I still want to play praise and worship music at Mosaic and it's really only a matter of time before that happens. I'm going to practice with James Wofford III who is their Music Minister next week, and we will see where I can go from there I guess.
before I got involved at Mosaic it really affected me. I did want to get involved as quickly as I could, but it didn't happen that way for and it seems like it did happen that way for a lot of other people who went to Village Church, I'm not mad about it or anything like that, but I did wonder why a lot. What I realized was that I really don't have to be playing music to glorify God when I'm at Church although I still think about that sometimes when I am worshipping there. I was just so used to doing it that way. But I think I'm getting more comfortable with not playing music at church, even though I still want to do it, which feels weird for me. But I am doing something there now, and that feels good.
I'm glad my friends Mike and Brooke will be reunited today, I know it was hard for them to be away from each other. It would be hard for me to be away from Heather. So, I'm glad that they are going to be home in Arkansas together again. Brooke had been in an ASL internship in New York recently.
We have been hanging out with Mike while she was gone though. It has been fun.
I need to do somethings before I can release any cd's like make cover art, upload all of the songs onto tunecore and I have to buy some cd-r's for special orders that aren't through Itunes. I am doing one more song,it's going to be a rap song about Jabba the Hut, so now the cd has 11 songs on it, and it's still going to be 8 dollars if I can do that with tunecore.
Our old Pastor, Pastor Dave who married us asked us if he could get our autographs for the buliten, which was funny. We didn't though, but he did say that he was going to have it framed for his house. That's nice.
Also, last Sunday I began my training to run sound for church, and I pretty much ran the sound for the second service, and part of the first service. Johnathan Chandlier their Audio Engineer taught me a lot and directed me during the service. It really was a lot more complex than I thought it was when running sound he told me that the congregation is really what you want to watch, they should be worshiping and that you can measure how good you are doing by how they well they are worshiping. We play this one song "God of the City," which is a really good song that can really get the whole congregation worshiping. It's quite a different perspective when you're able to see everybody in church. I liked it a lot I had fun it was challenging and at first I didn't think I could do it because I never really have I mean had been taught a little bit when I live in Oregon and went to church at Eastside, but that was nothing like what we have at Mosaic. Mosaic has some really good equipment for sound, and for recording. So I'm going to do the same thing this Sunday too.
I still want to play praise and worship music at Mosaic and it's really only a matter of time before that happens. I'm going to practice with James Wofford III who is their Music Minister next week, and we will see where I can go from there I guess.
before I got involved at Mosaic it really affected me.
