AMG: When all that matters is just this phrase – “Just do it.”

... I'm actually out of interesting eyecandy relevant to the topic. Despair!

It’s been a while since I last blogged about anything especially when it comes to these three stuff: Anime, manga and games.

Lately, I have been running on an insanity streak. Or probably not.

Okay let’s nitpick on what I want to babble about, all directly typed here with little thought or planning.

Anime

As much as all of us acknowledge, there are “bad” animes and there are “good” ones, but well there’s this point of the day where I stopped to be able to distinguish between the general “rules of good and bad” and began watching some handful of titles which some people will either say “ZOMG IT’S AEWSEOM UHAHUHAHUHAHUHA” or “it’s a goddamn suxx0rz shiet i dun even know why it exists” and more often I’ll find both kinds of comments will exist for like, almost every goddamn title out there that ever be.

So I decided to let my personal tastes take over like how a demon would possess a person to the point of making myself look like a dumbed statue in front of the monitor, and find that there’s no exact solution to what is real good and what is real bad; and it all boils down to personal preferences. Sure, I can sense someone is going to say I’m so indecisive that I really “suck” (yeah, that kind of “suck” whenever we’re talking about profanities, of all things) a lot; but I have attempted to see both the bad stuff and the good stuff people always talk about/refrain from doing so and this is all I could ever come with.

Which is, our very culprit of it all – the “personal preferences” we all speak of whenever we attempt to be neutral on a particular title. So the reason why a show can be “popular” is because many people share the same preferences over it, and vice versa.

All in all it comes down to what we have to say for a certain title for ourselves and not for the others. Kind of selfish, eh; since we will more than often find people who can’t agree with us and soon we find ourself baffled with questions like, “What do you mean it’s not awesome?” It’s an individual thing, really.

Manga

Lately, with the attitude of “Grab and read whatever I feel like it” had me end up with various titles I don’t think I can even remember in a blink of an eye, not to mention some of them had really long titlenames I can’t bother remember them, thus forcing me to rely on my subconscious to tell me “Hey, you read this before. This is a newer chapter, go read it.”

But thanks to that I managed to land myself quite more than a handful of titles I deemed “worth reading.” Medaka Box was one of the honorable mentions as how someone here addresses it with his lines, “surprisingly enjoyable manga”, which I had to agree – since it just turned awesome on the very first chapter I read it. But to me almost every manga I love to read had a headstart made of awesome, it seems.

Also one more title just got to my attention – Choku!. I’m too lazy to describe it here so please look into it for yourselves, aye.

And thanks to that attitude I managed to find an uploaded (I’m not telling sources here, look for yourself please) first chapter of a manga I’ve been putting my lookouts on, Misumaruka Koukoku Monogatari.

And thanks to that attitude as well, I’ve gotten so busy reading manga that I think I can even leave most of my new anime episode being left in my HDD still unwatched as I continue this… err, voyage of my own.

Games

I’m taking more interest in games, although it’s still like; I’m still afraid to actually play them for real. Right now I’m into Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X., a game in which I irritatingly find people constantly comparing it to the Ace Combat series. Oh well, what did I do? All I did was just ignore ‘em, simple as that. I play games to enjoy playing them, not to say “OMG THIS GAEM ROXX0RZ” or vice-versa. I just wanted to play, that’s all. So what?

And having said it, it occured to me that…

“What really makes a game suck is when you can’t enjoy it.“

In which, I find it true for almost everyone I can think of. Why will a game be awesome if nobody can’t play or enjoy it? And as such, I know I had a lot of… um, certain “grudges” against certain games all because I can’t get to play them. Forget all the goddamn bloody consoles, it seems that this house certainly hates them because gaming is all the consoles are for, and to be honest, this house certainly doesn’t find them useful for everyday Internet surfing, reading manga, typing work documents etc etc blah blah blah, and the only thing they can do for the house? Wasting money, electricity and space (my house is cramped due to… uh, stuff) is all they can give to house, so they think – and to make matters worse, I agree with them.

But this doesn’t stop for my craving to play. Of course, with Assassin’s Creed 2 looking awesome and gonna be out near the end of the year, I don’t see a reason I’ll stop playing anything I like to.

… Well, if all of the above looks incomprehensible to any of you peeps reading this, here’s a TL;DR version of what I actually wanted to say:

“I like doing stuff my own way, and there’s no such things as graded as awesome or suck in it, just do it.“

What matters of it? It’s whether YOU feel awesome or suck by doing it, smarties. YOU, not everyone else.
