New Doom Short Opinions review
Posted 9 years ago(this is with about 2 to 3 hours of gameplay and a couple levels completed)
New DOOM is here. I played a couple of hours with it and to all my Gaming friends and historians alike myself with ID Games. The Verdict for me with about 2 hours of gameplay. Solid, amazing, Feeling Classic and new. It is Amazing and Great and not something to shrug at because its Bethesda or being Triple A. Granted the Multiplayer is a disappointed in many ways in terms of the "Default" settings, there is some Classic stuff in Snapmap options but thats it.
On to the real game, If you have the money and you were skeptical. I would say that there is nothing That Wrong with the game. It starts strong, Gets stronger. and its hella fun. the gunplay is exactly what you would want in a classic style like game of the old doom, ROTT and Quake. the Weapon Mod system is not bad addition an feels fluent with how they work. the monsters all have very specific game styles and how to avoid them, Movement is fast and hectic and only stops once rooms are cleared just like how the old days where. there is never a instant respawn of unlimited enemies. Look Fantastic and would say everything there is a good Solid Doom game. Though for me Personally There are some features I dont like but its not a insult or a ruiner of the game but stings me in a small way in terms of the mechanic choose they imposed.
The First one is that the Glory Execution Kills, While Graphical its damn impressive in the mechanics and how much scripting they used, Different animations based on where your Doom Marine position is and where you are looking gives you different types. However, what im not impressed by is you are almost Reliant of them which I was hoping was not the case. When you use any weapon, it takes a couple of shots to cause them to be in a "stunned" state. then you can just walk up and Press Melee. the problem I see is that if you want Extra Ammo and Health drops from them, This is your only way besides the Chainsaw, To get such items. If you picked up all the health and ammo picks up on the map normally. you have to resort to Animation Kills over and over just to get it back. and the Chainsaw if you want a Plethora of ammo back using its ammo charge in a instant animation kill. I will understand the animations are very quick of about .8 to 1.3 seconds depending on the enemy. But the fact you are Reliant of such mechanic to stay alive bugs me on a personal level.
2nd, Im Perfectly fine with a upgrade system in a game, as long as it doesnt feel forceful or doesnt seem stupid to add upgrades for upgrades sake. and For new Doom, Im hesitant. There are on average 3 to 5 upgrades per Module Per weapon, and there are about 10 weapons in the game I believe. You earn the weapon upgrades through "challenges" (one example was to do 5 Glory Kills on the possessed) to get Weapon Upgrade points, and are different challenges Per level. Then there is your Praetor suit, which you earn those upgrades through dead elite guards in hidden areas to collect there chips. Then the Argent Cells to permanent upgrade your health. armor and ammo Capacity. THEN there is the Rune system that gives different characteristics that can be changed on the fly. To me personally I feel that was a bit to much upgrading ideas for the Sake of Upgrading. the only argue rebuttal Ive heard was "it has a New Game Plus, for Nightmare or Perma Death mode". But for me, If Bethseda didnt claim "this is Doom back to its roots" or "no cutscenes fast pace action demon killing" then I would let all of the upgrading slide. but they did and it feels unnecessary to me in Some Departments, not all Mind you.
Those are Personal complaints that no way derail the game or makes me feel its bad, because its not in any way. The overabundance of Secrets to be found. a Map that can be access to figure out locations and areas of those secrets is so much fun again in the years I havent seen such a thing because some indie like titles (like ROTT 2013 Reboot). Im a little sad the map does show you exactly what items to be found, like Elite Guards, Bots to get Mod purchases etc. But it doesnt change how much you can move in this game. It never seems that you are locked out from a passed location During a level. Once you finish what is considered the Level, then you can no longer return to that location and move forward. The Jumping is amazing to feel and climbing everything makes you look carefully for any location that can be used for such puzzles in a sense.
Graphical amazing, Runs super smooth. can turn off Motion Blur, DoF, and have a FOV of 130 for PC (and I believe Consoles now have such a option). Feels fresh then most games and in a lot of ways not something to shine away from. The singleplayer is a lot of fun so far. There are a lot of dialogue that seems to happen but its usually breif with one paragraph of words that you can just Walk away from hearing, to most of it being a Codex system in your menus detailing all environments, datalogs, demon creatures, and the weapons. Happy to be there if you like to read, or ignore for just more killing demons. Its bloody its gorey and it works for a Triple A for once.
Buy it if you have the money, Its not a waste of time. It is not a Disappointed, its not a failed hype train. It is a new Doom that besides some minor complaints I Personally have. Im Happy, Excited and loving to play it more.

Ratchet & Clank Movie. Not the GameMovie Messiah
Posted 9 years agoI saw Ratchet & Clank Movie tonight, and Ill be honest. Its not good. BUT! Its Not terrible its not the worst video game movie. Its better then Doom and better then Silent hill Revelations. So take that into account. However its not the best thing Ive seen. Ill be honest I only have played 2 of the games so im not that knowledgeable on some of the characters and there personality. But I enjoyed my time, I wasnt disappointed or wanted to walk out.. Unlike Norm of the STUPID NORTH...
I would say give it a watch if you like but dont get to much of a hope of it being the best Video game movie. Its not terrible or horrible. but its not good enough, at least in my opinion.

Motor City Fur Con 2016 - Another year, A Wonderful time.
Posted 9 years agoMotor City Fur Con 2016 was here again, And this dragoness flew across to be in Michigan for this con. The only con I will try whatever it takes not to miss personally. Every year has always been a social shock for me with people who say that not only remember me but give me so many great things to say back to me. This to me was the best year so far from everything that has happen, and I hope I can write down all that I remember. I Flew in on weds to see my friends 
, 
, and 
again, rooming at the con for most of the day.
To start on Pre con Thursday, Alkali and Xander were doing a Mystery science theater thing where the audience makes rules for drinking while they watch. Well. Half way through the movie (which was Wild Wild West I might add) Alkali pointed at me and said to come here, sit down. Have a drink. So I did... which was interesting to say the least for a Thursday night of Pre con x3
Friday morning was a great start, many panels people and so on. Great to see all of the rearrange con staff (especially Snap) Though the surprise was that 2 the ranting Gryphon was here this year, did not expect that at all so that was a neat surprise. Went to many panels like Kage's Science and pseudoscience, Three headed monster. Tried many things and just overall a great day of a Friday. Got 2 new badges thanks to
and 
for basically being the first 2 people to draw my new self ^^ So happy how both of them turn out honestly (they will be uploaded later)
It was great to see so many people once again at the con, Especially 2 and
. Meeting new people and having great conversations. Seeing many of the hotel staff helping the con be together for another year. And Of course being a Super Sponsor 2 years in a row. I Did not do another SSB commentating as my voice was already dying at that point. But someone I know Alex Jace, really wanted me too all con long. I did for a very short time but It happens. When you have been talking a lot or singing a lot. You kind of have that situation.
Saturday Was a interesting day as for most of the time it was cloudy, snowing, and raining. We thought the fursuit parade had to be changed in route because of the snowing. But Just before it begin, Surprised. It cleared up just for us to have the parade and group pictures outside before it went back to Snowing raining self. Very funny that was.
Majority of the weekend has been nothing but happiness for me. I also took about 300 pictures this year while last year it was about 126. So many of the panels and put a lot down for the charity events. Speaking of which the man who was there for the charity was absolutely phenomenal. His name is Mark Rosenthal of Animal Magic. All I can say is look it up if you are curious then being trying to explain it. His shows were remarkable and hilarious, on top the books and a photo (which Ill upload later) was the best time ever. Wish everyone who didnt go could have seen this show.
Couple of notes I wanted to make was there was one fur who was nice enough to pay for my food on friday night, I dont remember your name and I wish I did. Thank you for that. I went to a cheese party with Thabo and others (very good, hard to explain how it tasted). Watching the Dragget Show live. Oh and letting BBF call me Ashton pretty much all con because I some how look to close to him. I Met Malcom from Nostalgia Critic, Yes THAT Malcom who works with Doug Walker. Wonderful guy and had no idea he was a fur himself. So thats fun.
Overall Amazing con to be there once again and hope life doesnt hit me hard like last year and can plan for it once again to see everyone and more to come again. Cant wait and we will see as time goes on. Thank you so much for reading and have a wonderful day and take care everyone!

MCFC 2016 is a Go for me
Posted 9 years agoFinally paid off my Con Pass to Motor City Furry Con! So this dragoness will be there once again for a 3rd time in a row (and hopefully more every year) Hope to see everyone I met last year and the year before again as well as new people. This is the best time of the year for me personally as it being the very first Fur Con I went too (Thanks to my friend Trin) and the one I would want to try and never ever miss a year if I can.
See you all there and have a wonderful day!

Saw Zootopia Opening.
Posted 9 years agoIm going to be Very honest to all. Regardless that im a fur and such This movie was wonderful to watch. Well acted, story was wonderful, message was not only a interesting one but was done in a beautiful way. Animation was the best as we have seen go. I would say Go see this movie when you have a chance. If you are still cynical because "Fur loves furry like movie" Understandable, can wait for it to come on DVD/Bluray and watch it later. but still give this a chance.
Hope you all get to see it when you do and have a wonderful happy day

Birthday today and, a annoucement thing. (2016)
Posted 9 years agoToday Feb 18th is my Birthday. Im officially 24 now and another day has gone by. I have a job and working the best I can to move to the next step of my life, Just taking it day by day.
Now.. I have basically something I need to talk about. most of my close friends already know but this has been a difficulty for years now. Ive been trying to talk to others to make sure I understand how I feel on a personal level. I didnt want to start throwing words that wouldnt or shouldnt apply in some way. I will say some people may have notice with how my icons have been lately or not. This is not easy for me as how much I am concern of a sort of response but im going to explain it like this..
To me, Ive been dealing and going through Gender issues. And its been very complicated to explain and I didnt want to throw terms even though my sister and others have said they DO apply to me. being consider a Trans is one thing that Ive been told that does apply to me, and that you dont have to be transitioning or starting too to be consider. I feel I am female, always have been, but look male yes.. and from there its even harder as when ti comes into question of transiting. its difficult to answer. I do but dont.. I feel am Female. but ok with my male side as a "Shell" as it were. genderfluid is another word to use in this situation but its like complicated even more in my body in my head.
I know people are going to be confused under "fireboy" name and being honest it was a name I made when I was young and didnt take it serious. and years later I now have a name I use. A fursona name. Taya Erindra. This to me is who I am, fursona wise and my life. Its even harder when I created a male side shell as Coi Erindra. they are both me, but are siblings to me as well.
IM sorry to all who feels this is odd or anything of the sort. im still the same Person you know me as, just a lot of personal issues ive been dealing with for a very long time. I wanted to be open for once so people understand so im not trying to hide around it. I already have badges and artwork (which im uploading soon my new ref). But I wanted to get it out there and not feel hidden. Thanks to all my friends of support for the past years and now im trying to be more open. Be Wonderful everyone, and Thank you.

Motor City Furry Con 2016 - A Plan Hopefully
Posted 10 years agoIve been to MCFC '14 and '15. I was happy to go to both as well as '14 being my first ever furcon. I had a set back last year with moving back to Arizona with my parents, I had no job for the 8 months during that time, I now have one and im saving as much as I can. Its a tricky situations but im trying to put money together for this, To me this is the only Furcon I never want to miss, or at least try to never miss.
So besides the increase of I have to get a plane, the only issue im running into is finding a room. and I have very short time which I know I should be searching but always nervous when doing so. but im figuring it out the best I can safely. but mostly still hoping i can plan for this.
Just making a journal about that plan hopefully, and see If I can or not.

2015 comes to an end
Posted 10 years ago2015, its hard to say much for this year myself. I lost someone i love and had to move out of Indiana and back to Arizona. dealing with a lot of personal issues with my life and depression. Some of which I plan to be... public. for once about everything. I will lose friends I will have people question me and everything about it. but im going to be open about it once Im ready to show it. 2015 to me wasnt great after most of it I barely did anything, except for in November when I finally got a job and working lovely there.
Its hard to say what 2016 will bring, I have a job which is a start. but I have to move out of my parents once again but taking it slow. as they told me this is the final time. once I move out I dont have any safe place to come back to if something goes wrong. which makes me scared when I move out once again, I get conflicted if im truly ready. its hard to say for 2016. But happy new year to all of you. Im doing just fine and a happy dragon. but I will say 2015 for me, was the most depressing time i ever had. but im happy to look forward regardless what happen. I care for my friends, people I call family. To always help see them smile, the best I can.
have a wonderful day and take care. final hours of 2015

Phone situation
Posted 10 years agoThis only applies to people I know who has my Cell phone Number. Recently my phone broke and died and lost all my contacts. Anyone who has my ell phone number Can you please text me with your name? I know this is weird to post a journal but atm difficult to deal with.
Random Message today.
Posted 10 years agoJust wanted to give a random message today about something. I just started working at the movie theater for 2 weeks now (Loving it btw :D) and I want to say something since this is related to a Movie coming in 3 months and all the furs out there.
Zootopia is coming yes, We are all excited yes. Remember its not made just for us its just a movie still. But Most of all Please PLEASE PLEASE Do not go in suit. even before I worked at a theater I know you shouldn't do this. maybe having ears and a tail and all that is fine. but dont go full suit for many many reasons. 1 you have to sit down in a closed room for at least 2 to 3 hours and may have difficulty with seats and moving if needing to go somewhere or what not. 2. some suits can be big that it could distract others. 3. furries wont be the only one there, got families and kids because its Disney. Just saying. I know this sounds like im crushing dreams or something but not every place will do so (I know mostly in Arizona MAYBE some places will, but Arizona RARELY does because of the mask thing).
Ill mention with Star wars coming, you cant go in masked either here too. So no Darth vader or stormtropper masks. So its not like its only being one target. Please understand all about this. But still Im excited I know others are, Just respect life of others and the business that provides the movie. That is all :D Have a wonderful night.

Zootopia is coming yes, We are all excited yes. Remember its not made just for us its just a movie still. But Most of all Please PLEASE PLEASE Do not go in suit. even before I worked at a theater I know you shouldn't do this. maybe having ears and a tail and all that is fine. but dont go full suit for many many reasons. 1 you have to sit down in a closed room for at least 2 to 3 hours and may have difficulty with seats and moving if needing to go somewhere or what not. 2. some suits can be big that it could distract others. 3. furries wont be the only one there, got families and kids because its Disney. Just saying. I know this sounds like im crushing dreams or something but not every place will do so (I know mostly in Arizona MAYBE some places will, but Arizona RARELY does because of the mask thing).

Finally got a job
Posted 10 years agoSo after months after being back in Arizona. I got a job at a Movie theater. Nervous yes, but excited and ready to begin again.
A Question Ive been dealing with
Posted 10 years agoone thing that was common asked over the years of talking to friends and other furs when I go to Cons meet ups and events. Is that why dont I upload artwork from other artists I have gotten as either gift or paid commission. Honest Answer, Because I always felt I shouldnt do that as some people would look at my page on the art then the actual artist that made it, I feel its in my mind wrong to steal that away from them. Is it my paranoid mind thinking yea possibly but its what I always followed.
But should I really? Thats what I wanted to ask. I mean there is one artwork that when its done. and I have the courage to be open about it to everyone thats one thing im uploading. but there is a lot more. on top there is some things some people will learn about me that im always concern about what people will think of me after it. Some of my close friends already know but some dont. there is that too when uploading art. so yea. I want opinions on the aspect how I think and all.

Show you remember but rarely anyone does
Posted 10 years agoSo Random topic to keep myself from writing depression journals all the time.
Ive was watching some top 10 videos around and watched 3 of them about shows that no one remembers that were amazing, canceled to soon shows. etc. and it got me thinking of shows that I watched that only I seem to remember and not many else. There are some that yes some do, and the show Ill talk about I may get a couple of people. but I remember watching this show and was intrigue by it.
Code Lyoko:
I remember watching one episode and was wanting more and I did get more, many story arcs and questions I had especially season 2. I started writing fan ideas where its possible that machine was in a different country with another set of people. and that Xana isnt just in one location, but because of the time loop system they never would have notice, Granted it makes no sense in the reality of things in the show but I still loved it and had ideas on a daily basis.
It also had my interesting with the idea that tron had before about going into a video game and such, Made me love the characters and show more. I do understand some people I know criticize it for the odd animations during the 3D sections or even during the drawn ones as they dont seem smooth more jagged and quick. as well as the English Dub of it (which is what I know) doesnt seem to work 100% of the time but they had to cut lines from the french equivalent because of the fast scene changes.
Regardless to me this is what I love to watch on top of everything else People knows. I know there was a redone of the show called Code Lyoko Evolution so I have no clue how that looks or feels Only know of the original.
Still for me this is a show I love to death, and something I dreamed about for a long time, I was a kid however. so ill leave with that. just wanted to write about something else that wasnt happy. be well everyone

Random note today: Cards
Posted 10 years agoHeres a plan Ive thought about. organizing about... 800 yu gi oh cards or something. Categorizing them in a good list and trying to see if I can sell them. I know most people wont buy them since they are either old cards or no one cares. at the same time some cards have scuffs at the corners which is like a instant no to most collectors. but screw it, I dont want them and I want to get honest prices and selling XD some point

Life updates: Onto a new life
Posted 10 years agoSo I should have made this aware long ago when it happen but with work and packing and time it was hard too. On top of that I wanted to make sure I wrote this correctly with my thoughts.
A lot happen in the last 4 months that most of it I cant say much of because of who it involves, someone that does Not deserve to be treated badly because of what happen here. Basically Im moving back to my home state of Arizona on Wensday April 29th. The hard part is having to quit my job of almost a year, say goodbye to a bunch of new friends, co workers and customers who gave me a bunch of comments on how I am as a greeter at the store. On top of saying good to people I met here in Fort Wayne and how terribly sorry I am to break the news to many of them that this dragon has to leave, and how many of them I Barely Got to hang out, which i blame myself on that. IN NO WAY was it me not wanting or ignoring anyone from Fort Wayne, I hope you all stay in contact even if im moving away.
As for the situation there isnt much to say. I made some mistakes here and things just didnt work out between me and the room mate after December break up. I still love him and care about him personally however life is life and I guess its time to fully part in different directions. I wish him the best of luck in life and happiness.
As much as I know many people would ask why Im leaving Indiana. Honestly because of what happen I feel Im not fully ready to be on my own, with the job I had which I did love doesnt pay enough per say, plus after what happen here my trust dropped so I dont want to risk any issue rooming with another person that I mostly dont know as much. even though thats what I did to move here in a sense.
Am I hurt, yea, but its life. Ill be depressed and emotionally empty but Im alive and moving. It may take a month or 2 to get myself back off the ground and maybe Ill find something better in life. Its tough to have a happy thing like MCFC happen to tell all about my situation. But as for most people, the dark pit is not fun when you return, but all we can do is constantly think and move on. Love all friends of mine I know. Have a Great day everyone.

Motor City Furry Con '15 report AND Photos I took.
Posted 10 years agoMCFC, My 2nd furcon I ever been too, as last year was my first furcon and Personally I made it a tradition to never miss it every year, and hopefully I can keep to that promise. Because this year proved that feeling once again.
Last year was my first furcon with the help of my friends to get me there, I was dealing with some issues with life so it was nice to get away from that, and I wasnt disappointed. So many people I met, so many conversations to be had and the panels where all fun. and The Same goes with this year but better, So much better.
Its hard to detail ALL things but the only ones I can detail well is 2 particular things. one of them was that After I saw my friend Silia again, I met someone named Thabo on Friday. Saturday night, I walked into the Quiet room which is meant for artists to draw in piece basically. There was other people around the table by the names of MysticSabreonic, Pandolfs-Parade, and Tikikata I believe. As there all drawing wonderful art all around from the commissions that got, and Deserving. a lot of the conversations was just life and just having a fun time, and I felt happy being around these people even with my body screaming at me to walk away because of it. But I stayed. from like 12AM to 3AM listening to all, and all listening to me. It was a experience and feeling that I dont get but It has that enjoyment feeling, Everyone at that table you're all awesome :D
The Second one I remember was when I was in the Game room area where they have video games, DDR and a shooting machine that was crazy active by all, Based on what I know someone had a Record of 3.1 seconds. Besides that, They had a Wii U with the new Smash Bros with enough controllers for 8 play smash. I played one round and lost big time but All is fine had fun with my Marth. After I gave the controller to someone they decided to do a team battle with 8 people and Somehow somewhere inside me I decided to commentate it. Sadly it wasn't recorded but I felt I did amazing (And my Throat hurts XD) I commentated 6 games and just had a fun time. a couple of things I noted was Ive never practiced in my life to be on, I wasnt embarrassed and I wasnt Drunk. I Asked everyone how I was doing, and the responses were just overwhelming to me. Telling im great, awesome, Brilliant job, and that I should continue to go more of it in some way in the future. Maybe I will or not, Its hard to tell what I may do in the future but I enjoyed doing that very much with the feedback I was given.
To Every Single Person, you are all awesome, amazing and Brilliant people. Regardless of the conversations we had and the time it was. these 3 days was Great for me to be again and I hope to come once again. Be well, Be safe, Take Care everyone.
PHOTOS: Please Let me know if the Link works or doesnt work. I Have A LOT of photos Ive taken and a lot for people who need them, However while going through I Notice some blur shots because of my camera, which is my fault, So sorry if a picture of you in a fursuit was blurred up quite a bit. Hope you all love and you are free to use the pictures any way you want of course :D
