Not You Too Valentinus!

Saint Valentine's day has come and gone and for some a day to reflect on their loneliness. For others an obligation to rush to the stores to purchase decorative wrapped candy and flowers. But for a very few, a day of thanks for having that special person next to them forever with no doubts and peace. A day where a mere look or admiration are enough to show that other person that they are lucky to have that. For a little history I send you to Geoffrey Chaucer's Parliament of Fowls which may be the first reference to what we now know as St. Valentine's day.

I wish Saint Valentine would have struck me with an arrow on Thursday. Instead I think he punched me, and not because I fell in love but maybe to wake up. I picked up Natalia as usual and this time her nose was scarred again. As usual when I ask what happened I was told she was like this when I had her a few days prior. The lies just flow too easily out of my ex wife. Needless to say the conversation was not productive. This time I am fed up with this handling and lies. I contacted CPS in San Bernardino county as well as Riverside county. Seems I have to go through Riverside country. My ex wife in the conversation told me she has a case filed for me so I called to see if it was true and I await a call from CPS by Monday. I know I opened a case when she took her, so I hope that is still open and I can add to this. I need to know whom takes care of my daughter and how. Taking a child to an amusement park weekly is not parenting. My next choice is to petition the court for more time with me so I can limit the treatment she receives. I believe between my ex wife being bipolar and somewhat suicidal and not had any experience taking care of herself let alone others, these things happen. I cannot have my daughter suffer for her lack of experience, mental condition, or just plain stupidity.

With that being said I will clear up her nose in the next few days and get her back to normal and prepare myself to the next problems. Sometime mid next week another storm is due to roll across the mountains bringing snow.

I like sci-fi movies and it seems Tom Cruise is the choice for many directors. I have to say I very much dislike Tom Cruise for some reason. Please Hollywood, start looking for other faces or even "unknowns". Also please Netflix get season 2 of Walking Dead up. I got hooked on the show and now I cant get my fix. Or if someone out there want to lend me season 2 I would really appreciate it.

Marvel Studios is still moving along with making Guardians Of The Galaxy to the big screen. I have my doubts on this movie as the story is not mainstream for the readers of comics and a very weird concept.

Ok, the first G.I. Joe movie in my opinion sucked. So they choose to make another one and bring Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis as headers to bring in the crowds. Ok so we have an action movie, but why call it G.I. Joe? Just give up. Give the movie to a good writer with a great story.

I was kind of surprised many readers found my stories and posts recently to their liking. I am sure others are not as pleased as they have yet to open their eyes. So I will keep lightly going.

Since the manhunt was in my backyard I will put my "2 cents" in this. Why shut the whole mountain down in this? I know the LAPD is very afraid of having Donner talk and show the world how corrupt and how nasty the actions used by the department are towards the citizens. Also word is he was stashed away "A stone throws" from the headquarter set in Big Bear yet they didn't think to check that house. Lastly, he was burned in this cabin where they will need DNA or other forms of testing to determine if it was him, but miraculously his plastic ID was not burned? Also remember the media said his ID was found near San Diego days earlier  This is the miracle California ID. Also worth mentioning was the interview of some "witnesses" that very much sounded like they were reading a script given to them just seconds prior. His actions chosen to bring to light the "culture" of the LAPD I believe were not right but still a message needs to be heard. Sadly the word out by the media is that he was "crazy". By the way, the million dollar reward will not be issued. I don't think it was ever going to be issued. It was used to get the people in a frenzy.

Ft. Hood Soldiers getting screwed by Obama and the Army >>

Was Dorner Lynched? >>

Now I'll go a little "crackpot" on you. Is this meteorite a sign that Saint Valentine after a long day the day before fell to earth as failed to spread love in the world or as an injection to earth from above to spread love? My mind sometimes works overtime thinking this stuff. LOL

Love, Manhunt, Books, Oh My!

Lately I've been thinking and looking back at the time I wasted being married. Not the being married part but having wasted those years with a person so evil inside. I do like the marriage concept of sharing life with another and having the belief that this other person is there for you forever no matter what. I wish I would have married another person and have given that person my years of sharing. At least I wasn't married as long as some (I feel the picture depicts to me what real love is to its core). I will always have to be aware that this person is the mother of my daughter and have to make sure her bad habits and being are not implanted in my daughter.

Natalia again sick and with an irritation in her left antecubital area and that is becoming a normal thing. Not much I can do as trying to solve this or dealing with her mother is impossible. I was called as now she claims all this is my fault and it is a burn. Making the accusation that I burn my daughter. But this is not new. I've been accused of stuff you can only imagine. Crazy and I sill try to deal with her. I need to learn to just hang up and not deal with this nonsense. I am learning to not even give thought to communicating with her. I hope this drama doesn't scare anyone way. It doesn't get to me.

Natalia loves just hanging out at home and playing and being a little girl. Snow kept us inside most of the time and we cooked and played. Natalia has been wanting to go fishing and I will try to find a fishing pole for her to play with around the house. Can't wait to spring and summer so I can take her out in the woods to play in the ponds. Of course we still have much fun left with winter. One of the great things of living up here is the seasons.

Lately I've been staying at home and wanting to stay at home and not going out. Mainly to save money to buy books. Call me weird, a geek or stupid. These words or any words do not hurt me. So many books to read and many are new and hard to find for "free" online (don't tell the government). It is dangerous for me to go near a bookstore. Not much TV watching as all I've been watching lately is Sons Of Gun (Dear Santa, I want an AR rifle or a 1911 to replace the one I lost in the fire). No video games lately either but I would like to pick up Dead Space 3 and the new Aliens game. Here I posted a picture I came across and it simply speaks for itself.

By know everyone knows of Christopher Dorner and his actions and "manifesto". I highly doubt the manifesto is real in its entirety. Just more anti gun propaganda being planted by the media and government to get us to submit to them. What is crazy is the actions of the police in their hunt for him. The killings made by police being justified by searching for this guy. Amazing! Then they shut down the whole mountain for hours in fear of this. Now talks about drones? Are we crazy? Just a reason to give Obama a way to sign another executive order to have drones flying over the citizens. All good until they start firing at civilians. Make all the fun you want at me but does the word Skynet mean anything to anyone? U.S. Military are not to point their weapons at any US citizen.

I would like to apologize beforehand on this post. I'm going a little "crackpot" as some may see it. Again feel free to skip this one.

Here are a few articles I came across and would like to share. I know many will not like it or agree. But I will let you read them.

Navy SEAL whom killed Osama is getting screwed by the government >>. This doesn't surprise me but that is the system. He goes back tot he real world and joins the rest of us getting screwed by the government. Plus I sure he will not find an adequate job any time soon.

Congress Destroyed The Postal Service >>. Also think whom will take the place of mail delivery once our current government has gotten rid of it. It will be public service where the government will be allowed to intervene with it and monitor it. No more privacy there. One step closer to socialism and getting rid of that being passed through our current mail system.

Civil War? >> 

Geek News - The movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas will get a remake much like the Lorax did. It will never create the feel of the original. It will miss the narration.

Don't Forget Your Towel and Thanks For All The Fish.

Never though we would see the day we would not be able to read because a book ran out of batteries. I find myself sometimes not being able to read when I want because I need to charge my Nook. Plug it in and wait about 20 minutes to get it able to power up. Technology making life easier for us. With that being said I finished reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. A short quick read and I liked it. I recommend it to anyone looking for a light quick read and humorous. This is the book that gives us 42 as the answer to the universe along with many funny quotes. Don't ask, just read it. Right away read the second book The Restaurant at the End of the Galaxy which was a fast read but enjoyed the first better. Also just saw that Neil Gaiman is releasing another book this summer, The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Can't wait for that one.

Your normal post here and a change from the insight look at me on the last post. Not much other that as usual staying at home and playing with Natalia. Hit up a few thrift stores with Natalia and my Mom and no good finds. Even the bad economy is hitting the thrift stores. Between 6-12" of snow expected Friday and Saturday. I was excited for it but realized I have drill this weekend and will not enjoy Saturday watching the weather with Natalia most of the day. We will see this drill weekend as some of us may go out to support medically some SeaBee units in the shooting range or go out with the Air Force in one of their mass casualty exercises again. I will most likely stay behind running the clinic. Either way I am good. Wouldn't mind hanging out with the SeaBees for a while and playing with guns, but I am sure it will be very long hours.

I don't have many friends or people whom I share with. I got some news from a friend whom has a chronic illness and I take these things inside me. I'm not like many that say they are sorry and give you the "canned" responses. These things go inside me and I do feel and "pray" that they do not cause physical harm and can be cured. I think that is why I don't have many friends because I take so much inside from those I care. Funny because many will tell you that I seem like the person whom doesn't care about anything. Quite the opposite but I am glad to be able to wear that shell as protection.

I have to again mention and give my two thumbs up to the UCI 2013 Cyclocross Worlds in Lousville Kentucky for the venue and footage. I do wish it was close as I would have loved to been in the crowd. But watched live and found myself working tactics in my head and talking to the screen.

Finally took the time to see the trailer to the Man Of Steel movie and it doesn't look that bad. I know trailers are made to hook one into the concept. It got me at least a bit interested. Not only do I have hopes for this movie but the DC fans have much hope for this movie as it can lead the way to a Justice League movie.

I came across this awesome website for creating super cool graphics. Check out Thrilling Tales Of The Downright Unusual. Also a clip from a cool concept movie called Noon which may come to the screen. I would love to see this movie or read the story.

I will like to take the time to inform that ex-Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle was killed along with friend Chad Littlefield. I won't say much into this matter. But I again ask why is it that in such cases the media uses the full name (first, middle and last name) of the shooter or accuser? Seems in every tragedy this is being used by media. Why not also write Chris' or Chad's middle names as well? Either way sad news.

Up On The Soap Box.

This will be one of those posts that gives you an inside look at me. Like it or not! So you are warned and feel free to skip this one if you want and if you still like me then welcome to my side of the fence.

Warm temperatures and no sign of snow this week as it will remain the same for the next week. Possible snow next weekend. Got the bird feeders filled for my colorful musical visitors.

1984 was a fast and easy read and found it to be one of those books everyone should read. Decided to read the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and see what this book is about as many rant about it with its humor.

Before I go on my rants I would like to give a huge thumbs up to the Louisville Cyclocross World Championships. About an hour of pure pain. Not only in U.S. soil but in Kentucky! and all posted to the internet with no stupid restrictions or lame clips. Now, let the rants begin!

I was just reading on Yahoo one of those stupid celebrity sections called Madame Noire and came across one where it was making fun of Stacy Dash for voting for Romney. I can go on for a while being amazed at this mentality but truth is I see it very often and worries me. This country is slowly being separated by very ignorant people. What is worse is these ignorant people don't have an idea about history and facts. To say that people of certain race should favor those of the same race no matter what you believe or what the agenda is. I can honestly say I grew up not being racist. The idea of it was never embedded in me or accepted this until a few years of moving to the United States. The idea of hating another person only because of their color is still weird to grasp. I know it is very rare but that is me. Now as a grown person I see it implanted everywhere and being thought to children. I'll let you just let this sink in. Amazing! Yahoo needs to pull this and not be associated with this thinking. Of course maybe they want to cause this separation and belief in our society.

Work has been slow lately and many workers are starting to question why we are not getting a raise as our store went to a Supercenter. We are being told it is not a Supercenter even though the word is posted everywhere and we have so many managers as required for a Supercenter. I am sure we will get some lame excuse so this giant conglomerate of a company can save yet even a few more dollars. In the meantime I am trying to set the record as the fastest cashier at our location just to show a few of the "managers" here that I am "hot shit" and then drop my numbers to the average. Yes I am being a bit of an asshole but, I am treated the same by some. They can see I can do it but what is my incentive to do so? We are being pushed to not help each other, in turn not being able to help the customers and this I don't like. We have many regulars that yes, they come here to feel welcomed and "chit-chat" and we are being forced to not socialize and interact and share with them. To the point I even get questioned why I helped them with their items or even walked a few out to their cars. They want me to call another person to help them, so wait here for 10-20 minutes if someone decides to show up. Nope, not on my watch. Then they wonder why sales are very low. I know I am a pain in the ass. It is no secret and I am liked for that.

One last minor rant. Why is it movies now have a Homeland Security label warning label on them. I fail to see how this is a "terrorist" act. Just another agency and more of our tax dollars going to this. It is said it harms our economy thus our nation to make a back up copy. What about all the bankers and banks that created this economic crisis we live in here and all over the world that have destroyed the economy. I haven't heard of any getting jail time let alone pay fines. Shut up slave (ITM)!

This is who I am. I am that person whom doesn't dress up to impress and kiss butt. Get another person for that, there are many useless people out there needing the fake attention. I am the type you call when the "shit hits the fan", or when you need to get it done. I have the ability prioritize and see the strengths and weaknesses of others to get the work done. I am used for such problems and I do not mind and prefer it. Many may see this as bad as they want to be the person taking the credit or "kissing the butt". It bothers me none as it is people like me that make a difference. Especially in the Navy where many times much is needed to be done and very few can jump in and get it done. I do it proudly to process personnel to get their necessities done and get them mobilized, trained or their health take care of. I am the person whom worries about others. I am not the "ME" type that only cares about himself. I want to make sure my people are trained and taken care of. Not being pushed to the side. Matter of fact this next drill I will be a bit of a pain as I want to see more training. I don't feel me or many of us are fully ready to deal with certain incidents. I don't like that feeling, especially when some in our unit have much experience and knowledge. I won't change

Do You Commit Thoughcrimes?

Went out to Big Bear with Natalia to a few antique shops. Not very cold and as always saw some much cool items I would love to put around my house. I just find old items attractive makes you think how we lived years past with such items in our lives.

Rainy weather all past weekend which was great by me. A little bit of snow Sunday overnight to keep everything white and "clean" again. Still moving along very slowly with Wizard And Glass. Started to read George Orwell's 1984 and hope to finish by the end of the week as work has me coming home very late and I take the mornings to slowly clean around the estate.

While cleaning around Tuesday morning I hear a big slam against one of my windows. It was a good sized bird slam and lay twitching on the snow. Soon it was immobile and hours went by. Next thing I know I see her walking around. Not long after that she flew off. Amazing what happened.

1984 I find a good book and one not too far off from society nowadays. Of course it is not really visual in the streets but many of these basic principles are being applies and are present. More and more I see a socialist agenda being pushed to the American citizens. Our welfare system which in many regions being pushed and causing its people to become not only dependent on it but them to feel it is normal to have the government support them. Why work or try to support yourself when the government will provide you with many goods. Our healthcare system trying to be reformed to in a way control the health care of all citizens to what certain groups feel is what we need. Just recently we have Anonymous hacking the U.S. Sentencing Commission site with a message in memory of Aaron Swartz whom we are told committed suicide. I don't know much about this case but just apply some of 1984 (proles = Anonymous?). I can even see the Though Police (Maybe using Facebook, Kinect, Twitter, etc) in the form of the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act ) in their take down actions as the media is using them to manipulate us in the name of piracy. Call me a "crackpot" but this is what I see day to day. Not all is as bad as I make it seem as I believe it is a big nation with many out there not telling "Big Brother" to ....

Doctor Visit

Natalia had her regular medical appointment this week and it was very quick as always and everything good. Natalia brought her doctor kit in case the doctor didn't have all the proper equipment. Doctor always says she is small as if there was a human standard to meet, and that always bothers me. No drama with my ex as she sat there texting most of the time.

Watched Seal Team Six and found the movie good. Much better than Act Of Valor. Seal Team Six managed to get a little bit into the personal lives of these sailors. Yes, they are "sailors" whom earned the SEAL trident. This may or may not be what happened in the raid or how it came to be and maybe one day we will find out the truth and see the pictures and evidence. Many are still waiting on the truth behind the John F. Kennedy assassination. So I wouldn't hold my breath.

Work thus far is good. I've adjusted quickly and always expand my work to keep busy throughout the day. The big grand re-opening is finally set for Wednesday and I work the afternoon  So I hope by then all the "hoopla" is done and the politicians, photos and butt kissing is over. The remodel crew will finally go home after over a year in the area. Nice to see some old faces from when I started.

Finished Anasi Boys by Neil Gaiman and found it a very good story. Gaiman is a very good story teller and so far all those I have read have been good stories. Now I need to get back to Dark Tower and finish book 4. I was hoping to read 1984 or Old Man's War as I thought I had them loaded on my Nook, but didn't.

Rain expected this weekend but I doubt very much we will see snow on the second wave.

Geek News - Robotech movie still lingering around Hollywood. Rumors has it that Aquaman may be cut from the new Justice League movie. After DC has spent so much re-booting this character and he is part of the Justice League. I am sure a creative writer can make Aquaman "cool" as many see him as not. Many already know but in case, J.J. Abrams will direct the next Star Wars movie which takes place after Return Of The Jedi.

Round Up The Wagons!

A wagon? I would love one of these adorning my front yard and house. Call me weird but I love wagons and the way of life it represents. Christmas decorations are put away. I took them down much earlier than usual. No real reason why. I guess using these days with the warmer weather to clean up and get ready for the next storm. Up here I take these days with break in weather to clean up and get ready for the next one. I think we all do up here.

Want to go visit the Aquarium Of The Pacific with Natalia but I'm always broke. One day I will make it happen. I love that place as I used to visit it often years ago.

According to So Cal Weather Net (which I found is most accurate weather forecaster up here), we are expecting a change of weather this coming weekend. Precipitation expected but no word on possible temperatures this far out.

It is time for Lance to "round up his wagons" and do some serious damage control. He can no longer use his image, foundation and team of lawyers to hush people up. I will just say that I didn't see the whole Oprah interview of Lance but saw a few moments. I've lived the sport and like so many inside the sport we all knew. I was involved in the sport in its worse and even saw the problem at a lower level. Much blame has to also be placed at the organization and the teams themselves as many look the other way and/or encourage it. I have to thank Oprah for asking the questions and taking Lance off the script at times. She clearly made everyone see the sociopath that Lance is and his attitude even today about his actions. Lance clearly is not sorry to the point of laughing a little and didn't speak the whole truth. Mostly because of possible legal actions that can be taken against him. Many of his answers were untruthful as he at this point is in so much trouble legally. He knows the statute of limitations and has been careful to not implicate himself by still lying. So as far as he said he was a bad boy until 2005. Anything thereafter would put him in jail. I think the only way he learns is to when he starts to see his bank account getting drained, as right away he pointed out to loosing millions in  matter of seconds through sponsors dropping him. It hit him hard to loose Livestrong as that would be his only source of income. The problem is not about him actually doping, but about his actions used to cover it up and behavior used for so many years against so many people and companies to lie to them. Many riders cheated and continue to cheat but they do not act as Lance did. What also bother me is the foundation as he made millions from them. If he cared so much why not do it for free?He already has millions, why need more? Greed. The millions he made as well as the top positions there can really help so many families living with cancer. But instead they need nicer cars and houses. They need the money to make people aware of cancer. Aware? I think the whole world is aware. They need money to research they many types of cancers. Also he wants to compete again as he almost said for the money. As if a guy like him wouldn't cheat for money. He already has a record of doing so. Of course he would cheat again for money. Just start to save money, settle down and live life. Take care of your many children and your personal problems.

On the geek news front I want to point out that Lake Vostok in Antarctica is being sampled and I am looking forward to what may be found in its deep waters.

Do you know whose house is pictured? You get this right and you are on your way to getting me to like you.

Call Me "Crazy". Maybe?

Just working lately and the weather has started to warm up again. Down the hill it has been real nice days. BBQ weather is what I call it. I will take these next few days to clean up around the house and scrape off all the ice and clean driveway. The next few days will be the same. Thus far we have not had so much snow the past few years as when I moved up here in 2000.

The other day I found myself laughing at the cover of one of the tabloids as Hillary Clinton was pictured wearing big sunglasses. The caption referred as she got blood clots in her eyes due to her concussion. Sure! She clearly made the whole thing up to not testify in the Benghazi hearings and start her plastic surgery work in her way to run for presidency in the next elections. Credit to No Agenda for calling it weeks if not months ago. Also the Sandy Hook shooting has been getting much press lately for other reasons. I must say I too am a "conspiracy theorist" as there has been much contradictory and questionable evidence that was released but buried. Some of the "witnesses" to me are clearly "actors" as some footage released but buried has appeared leading to this. Not to mention no one can really recall the shooter. Even neighbors don't clearly even remember him. No real background in the shooter as he really never existed. The number of students too has been changed a few times to make the story work. Even the coroner handled the situation out of "norm" with the identification of bodies and his reports. Far too many irregularities and weird behavior. Is it a plot to ban weapons or to raise sales? Sales have skyrocketed and thus far the talks on the ban seem to not really ban anything other that cosmetic issues. More people die daily from so many other factors such as alcohol or even stabbings but we don't ban knives or alcohol. Never is the movie industry at fault. They have too much power and make too much money in violent movies. Instead lets go after the video game industry which is slowly eating away at the movie industry. Simply far too many agendas with this incident. Something did happen at Sandy Hook but sadly it is too late to find out the truth. Call me nasty or a weirdo but I am not alone and just tired of watching the media brainwash us into agendas from the government or big companies. You can say I enjoy watching the masses fall for the agendas. 

In case you still like me. Maybe next week I will go on a short rant on the welfare program and its abuse. I see it daily to the point it gets to me and I have to step out for a bit. That may take care of the rest of my readers.

Still playing Borderlands 2 and the new DLC Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is a disappointment. Very short with one raid boss and the other hard to spawn due. With the other "big" DLC releasing months from now I am in hopes they put out an update for a new level cap as they have just announced. Got into Anansi Boys and hoping to finish the story by next week. However, still moving along with Wizard And Glass. 

Hollywood has clearly run out of ideas. Now they want to "reboot" Gremlins. All they have to do is check out the many great books out there and get ideas or bring those to screen. 

Three Camels In The Cold.

The cold front did hit hours later. However not much snow with this storm, but easy to clean. I was unsure how this storm would land. In the end it didn't deliver much snow at all but it did deliver very cold temperatures.

Drill weekend over as well as my sailor of the quarter board. I didn't do well as I figured. It is simply a "dog and pony show". After all the requests for an evaluation on my work and skills it always comes down to physical appearance in a uniform. I can honestly say I am one of the very few whom actually increase and affect medical readiness for the reserve center. That is simply not based on that as many other simply do not contribute as much to the reserve center and the mobilization process. But I hope this is the last time I am put through this. I do know I am appreciated. Just not the type to "kiss butt", say what people want to hear or jump when told.

The past few days with Natalia have been great as always and as usual she rather stay at home. We celebrated "Los Reyes Magos" (Three Wise Men) and again she received presents from the three kings and the camels didn't leave a mess behind. They left her a memory game, a puzzle set as well as binoculars so when she gets older we can go out and look at birds and the awesome scenery up here. Daddy played much in her kitchen and cooked a few meals as well. Didn't go outside to play as the temperatures were  under 20 degrees much of the days.

Watched Dredd and found the movie entertaining. A better adaptation to the Dredd universe. I think what made it better was that Dredd never took his helmet off thus creating that action dark feel.

Decided to start reading Anasi Boys by Neil Gaiman since Stephen King's Wizard And Glass has been dragging for me. I will finish the Darktower story but needed a change of scenery. Also just read that Stephen King's Under The Dome story will be a TV series this summer. It will be in the feel of the Walking Dead. I liked the book and look forward to the TV adaptation of the story.

New trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 game

I Make PooPoo!

"Daddy, I'm tired of cleaning the deck." This was a few days ago as I decided to finally clean off the top deck. Yes, Natalia did help a bit and managed to drop her shovel off the deck. A nice long walk in the snow to pick it up. Also Natalia made her first "PooPoo" on her chair. Exciting day for her but new procedures for me.

Damn, I like this silicon spatula! I will say I've been baking a bit lately and liking it. Just wished my kitchen was a little bigger, but it is a matter of organizing. Need to find me nice cookie jars for when I go crazy making cookies.

Finally watched two movies this week. Watched Trouble With The Curve and liked it but thought it was going to make me cry a little. The other movie was Looper which I have been wanting to see. I liked the story and with movies like this I always find myself asking questions. Is Cid (Rainmaker) the younger Joe?

Woke up Thursday morning to a little rain. Everyone was saying a huge arctic blast was hitting the area overnight with temps possible below zero. However on my way up from picking up Natalia it started to snow and didn't let up for hours. Didn't go to work as unsure on how much would stack up and how bad the roads would be. One thing was sure, the snow didn't stop the birds from hanging around my feeders. Also got a chance to put on my snowshoes to bring some firewood up.

Don't know if I mentioned before but finished the Halo 4 campaign and thought the game was alright. The levels were all repetitive which was a let down for me. I can see how the ending got to fans. Haven't touched multiplayer yet and hope it puts you in games with same level guys.
