Ozzy Osbourne

The Prince of Darkness

When I was a young lad, I got into nu metal. It started off with KoRn, then Slipknot, System of a Down, Kittie, Powerman 5000, Static-X, it was awesome. Then, the Osbournes reality telivision show came on. It was centered around John "Ozzy" Osbourne and his family and all the crazy antics they did. They frequently refered to Ozzy as a rock and heavy metal legend and that he was "the Prince of Darkness". I thought that was cool, so I went out and bought the first Ozzy album I could get my hands on. It just so happens that the first album is the "Randy Rhoads Tribute" live album. I was instantly hooked. I went out and listened to Black Sabbath and Ozzy albums and songs.

Anybody that's into rock or metal will tell you that the genre of heavy metal was founded by Black Sabbath, with Ozzy as the singer. I don't need to say anything further on just how legendary Black Sabbath and Ozzy are. For my money, I'll take Sabbath Bloody Sabbath as the best Black Sabbath record and the aforementioned Randy Rhoads Tribute live album as the best Ozzy record. Randy Rhoads inspired me to become heavy metal guitar shredder. I actually play Jackson guitars because of him. Randy is truly a legend. Now Ozzy will meet him in the aferlife. Rest in Peace! Legends never die! Raise the horns and blast that Sabbath and that Ozzy as loud as you can!

Evolution: World Sacred Device

Another Turn Based RPG I'm not sure why tried this game. Maybe beause it was an RPG on the Dreamcast the was relatively inexpensive. I paid roughly thirty dollars for this. I don't think I'm ready to pay the damned near 200 dollars for Skies of Arcadia. I guess I should have started with Grandia 2. It has a much better reputation than Evolution. Grandia 2 is generally held in high regard, Evolution is viewed as a charming but mediocre RPG. Maybe that's why I chose to play it. I wanted to play a simple, average, but charming RPG so that I may have something to compare every RPG to. Simple but Charming The description of simple, average, but charming is the most fitting descritption you can possibly give this game. The story is a typical and predictable affair in which you are an explorer that dives into dungeons for treasure. An imperial military shows up with interest in the same artifacts you are digging up. Turns o...

The Y2K Era

New Millennium: Y2K Era Those of you that are ready to hit middle age, or even already there and even past it, will instantly associate "Y2K" with the global bug of doom that was supposed to occur the moment we entered the year 2000. Hence, Y2K for the year 2000. Nothing happened. We even tested this theory as kids by typing "2000" into every date field just to see if anything will crash. Not exactly the most scientific expirement, but it did assuage our fears a bit. The year 2000 arrived and no major global catastrophe happened. There where a few important incidents that caused financial problems[1], but no planes fell out of the sky because of it. Aside from that scare, growing up during the Y2K era was a whole lot of fun. Credit is Due First, let me give credit to a Youtuber that goes by the name of "Life of Slice". He developed a brilliant v...

World's End

World's End In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees all die as one with humanity. Tossed into oblivion eternity of nothing thrown into emptiness. Will we be born again? The world set ablaze a fire in the sky. Inferno consumes the land All perish; die. Weep not for the critters or your loved ones. Today is the day we all meet the same fate Tossed into oblivion, eternity of nothing, thrown into emptiness, Will we be born again? In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees All die as one with humanity.
