Nothing of Interest

I know I said something about a rant on the "videogames cause violence" bullshit. Then at school I had a really great idea that I may outline tomorrow. I intended to use it today, but then I started using google search again...I never learn....and discovered some rather disturbing trends.

Trend 1: Hentai images of non-human characters.
If you ever have the opportunity to use the google image search engine, you will discover that it will turn up large amounts of pornographic material. I don't really mind; I've seen it turn up the same images so many times that I just tune it out. But today I was looking for pics of an obscure (or at least it seems obscure to me) RPG called Xenosaga. One of the main players in the game is a female android named KOS-MOS. I can see, and have seen, many hentai images of human characters but this is the first time I have ever seen a nonhuman. And it was the wierd tentacle thing, too. Kinda creepy.

Trend 2: Fan art and cosplay outnumbering official images.
Now, I know I've slammed both these groups before. I probably will again, because I hate them so much. But when I go to search for images of Rikku from X2 to add to my files and find more cosplay and fan art than actual images from the game, I go beyond 'pissed.' I go beyond 'enraged.' I go into full overdrive rampage mode. Seriously, these people are lucky that they mostly live in Japan. I'm no tsure I could ever go to a convention for fear of going ballistic and ripping into some poor fool. By the way, I may bitch about these cosplay people, but I just got a copy of Final Fantasy VIII, and I would kill for a gunblade.

So basically, I want two things out of you people, if you can help.
1. A better image search engine than Google.
2. Good walkthroughs for FF VIII and Xenosaga
3. A gunblade. Preferably with a Casull .454 for the handle and a live blade. (when used in refrence to a blade, 'live' means 'sharp enough to cut your throat.' YOu should know that.)

Any help will be appreciated. If you don't have my email, just leave me a comment.
