| Everybody has opinions on things. I am no different. I love to ramble about whatever comes to mind. It's my thing, and I do it all the time. Sometimes I even type what I'm thinking. When this happens, it's gold. I figure, what the heck, might as well share my thoughts with the rest of you. Times are changing, and I HAVE to address the issues. Please enjoy. (Note: The Shane Page contains multiple essays written by, who else, Shane. These are also fairly interesting, and worth checking out now that they are available to the public.) |
| Nintendo: What Went Wrong Written by Shinra Written by myself on October 27, 2003, this essay tries to explain what happened to Nintendo. One thing that pisses me off more than anything is bias against something, especially video games. It's hard to enjoy something when all the people around you have their heads stuck up their asses and make fun of you for liking something. This was what prompted me to write my essay. I had to find out why people dislike and resent Nintendo so much, and I believe I've done just that. I don't care if anybody reads it, I just want my opinion to be known. This is my site, you know. |
| The End of Akira as We Know It Written by Shinra I'm sure that everyone in my "clique" of friends has at one time or another pondered just what the hell was happening at the end of "Akira." Brandan and I have constantly tried to enlighten the other to what is happening, but even we were at a loss for what some of it means. I finally became fed up with not having a concrete answer to people's questions, and devised a plan to write a complete summary of the ending as I see it. Because. For there is one answer. And. Inside you will. Beyond. |
| The Words of Max Payne Compiled by Shinra It takes someone who has played through "Max Payne" to fully understand what would drive me to do this. Everytime you hear a terrible joke, horrible pun, or nonsensical simile in this game, you feel the need to share the Payne with somebody else, and so I have done. If you can read these quotes without laughing out loud, you have no soul (or you have never taken an English class). |
| The Great Escape Written by Shinra Think it's easy escaping Shane's house? Think again. Actually, it kind of makes you wonder why somebody would venture there in the first place... He must have drugged us or something. Yeah, that's it. Anyways, between the dogs, ducks, and odor of his room, it's a wonder we were able to escape. Then again, all of us didn't make it... |
| Shane Down Written by Shinra Composed on March 3, 2004, this is based on a true story. The myth surrounding that night has grown to such proportions that it's hard to find actual facts. I've done my best, but whether or not this story is completely accurate doesn't matter; it turned out very well, either way. Shane doesn't especially like my take on the scene, but when have we ever cared about what he thought? That's what I thought... |
| Whitey the Mallow Written by Shinra "Whitey the Mallow"� is protected by Federal Law and/or Jeremy. Anyone who attempts to steal, copy, or infringe on our rights will be gang tackled�. by Jeremy. Seriously, he�s pretty big� I wouldn�t mess with him. His cats are vicious� like Barbara Streisand. Nothing will impede their wrath. All proceeds once went to the "Buy Travis a New Hat and Hoody Foundation (BTNHHF)," founded by Brandan "Wilshire" Martini�s and Shane "Retard" Bergeron�s illicit love-child, "Flipper." We just kind of� keep them now. |

| Video Game Violence Written by Shinra Have you ever seen one of those idiotic Channel 6 news reports on video game violence affecting the younger generation? You know, those "informative" documentaries that love to show random clips of Tommy Vercetti beating a prostitute with his bat or some left-wing congressman spouting off about the "filth our children have become exposed to." Forget all of that and read this essay. It'll make you feel good about being a gamer. |
