I know I should be angry about this. I should be in an uproar about how George Lucas ruined the series yet again. Besides Star Wars passing its Zeist a LONG time ago: this is really funny!
This is a game to have fun with. In fact, just with this one song, I'd like a Star Wars dancing game. Or maybe that's my insanity talking.
I really don't know why there is such a big uproar about this. It's a funny thing in a game. I expected a few people to be angry about it on the internet, then I saw something on X-Play or Attack of the Show.
Really people? Are you going to complain about each bad thing George Lucas does? This 'bad thing' is really not that big. Nothing to get worried over.
Now excuse me as I dance to this.

I'm Han Solo (Star Wars Kinect)
John Connor (Where Will You Go)
This is a "character study" of the character John Connor from the Terminator series.
An unnamed narrator (who is not Cameron, Sarah Connor, Derek Reese, Riley Dawson, or Katherine Connor) tells John that he is acting like the Leader of the Resistance Against Skynet. In reality he does that act for show. The unnamed narrator reminds John to be strong. He/she tells him that the ones holding him up might die (so he'll have to remain strong without them), that he can't escape his destiny, and that there are good things about his destiny.

Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: Shinto 3
The day was lovely. The wind blew through the trees, grass, and anything else it could blow through. I looked at my lovely wife, Yomosa, who looked into my eyes. We were both very happy. Luckily enough I had gotten rid of the blood, with the help of Jirou, so she didn't even question that I wasn't her beloved.
Since the main ceremony was done with, there was food and drink. I had only ever had food from Sajoki's tribe and Hijunaki's Palace. This food smelt different but not bad.
"I didn't think you'd be so interested in that food today." Yomosa said and smiled at me. I could tell that she couldn't be unhappy today. Which would have been sad if I had cared. Or if she had been my wife. Or if the universe had been reborn and I could fall in love again.
"I am interested in all foods today." I replied and kissed her. I had to practice with Jirou to get a loving kiss instead of my lustful kisses.
We pulled away at the same time, both smiling. Good, I hadn't mess that shit up. After a few more minutes the drinking and eating began. Hijunaki had never given me alcohol before. He had said that it would make me even more unreliable. I gasped as it felt like fresh blood was going down my throat. It made my heart race.
If this hadn't been a wedding, the humans wouldn't have laughed. Yomosa, with her goddess eyes, laughed the loudest.
The drinking and eating continued on for hours. It seemed like it would never end. For those hours, I felt like I was free from Hijunaki. Free from all the demons of my past. It was paradise.
After those hours we went into the tent and I decided to go for seduction. Not for physical release, but to subdue her. I heard a wolf growl and decided that it would be best to change my plans. Damn Jirou.
"What was that?" Yomosa asked and pretended to grab me in fear. She was pushing up against me, begging me to consummate the marriage. But I couldn't. Jirou would tell Hijunaki and then I would see what happens after death.
Yomosa noticed my pause and pushed away. "Who are you? What did you do with my husband?" She then raised her hand to hit me.
I easily blocked her fist and grabbed her. "I am your husband. The man you were going to marry is dead." I said with a smile.
She kicked me in my human balls and that distracted me enough for her to run for freedom. Away from the fate I was doomed to. I shifted into a wolf and leapt at her. She tried to dodge me but failed.
As I held her down she yelled at me, "Obake!"
My wolf form smiled and then stopped as we struggled. I to subdue her. She to run away. As the struggled went on, I felt growing respect for Yomosa. She was fighting something not human, an obake, and she wouldn't stop. I didn't know why, but it got me hard. Hard in a metaphorical sense as I made sure my forms didn't have such a vulnerable area again.
After what seemed like hours, but was only five minutes at most, I had knocked Yomosa out. Jirou then walked in.
"Injured." He said. "But she's still alive."
With that we went back to Hijunaki's Palace. I was glad I had completed a mission and that I would, hopefully, regain Hijunaki's favor.

Harvey's Top 10 Reasons (DOS)
I am very much in support of gay rights. And it's not because I hate the Catholic Church. It's just I view non-straights as PEOPLE. So when I read something about Linda Harvey making a list of the Top 10 Reasons Christian Kids Should Skip Day of Silence (a pro-gay rights day, participants don't talk representing the LGBT community).
I first heard about it in THIS article (I suggest you read it).
Below I will list each "reason" and then say why it's complete bullshit. Here we go:
1.) A silent protest in support of immoral, God-dishonoring behavior is in itself profoundly deceptive. All sexual behavior outside man/woman marriage is sinful in God’s eyes. Why should Christian students and teachers be in the position of accommodating this flagrant violation of their principles?
Let's ignore the obvious point that homosexuality isn't immoral. I'm going to go to the position of a teacher. A teacher is meant to teach and to create a calming environment (doesn't always apply to college professors). They aren't supposed to push their religion (or lack of). And, wouldn't you know it, those of the LGBT community need a calming environment just as much as a Christian.
2.) Any explicit or implicit message encouraging teens and even younger students to experiment freely with homosexual behavior is not “social justice” or “tolerance,” but actually, child corruption.
Listen, you don't know what your sexuality is without experimenting. Some kids will try not being straight and find out that they are really straight. This is FAR from 'child corruption'. Myself, it took some time for me to accept/realize that I am sexually attracted to both men and women.
3.) Allowing classroom silence to honor the Day of Silence unleashes tremendous peer pressure for students and even teachers to endorse sexual immorality, or be considered “enemies” of those peers and teachers proudly involved in homosexuality. This puts people of faith in the position of violating Christian doctrine through tacit approval (Romans 16:17-18; Ephesians 5:11). They are also intimidated into self-censoring their First Amendment rights.
If you don't participate in DOS there's nothing against that. It's a whole 'nother thing if you pick on gay students on ANY DAY. And people like to misunderstand the First Amendment. ESPECIALLY if they're trying to push an agenda. Like not saying "fire" in a theater or joke about hijacking a plane (while you're on a plane). For me, personally, I avoid talking about politics with my Dad and abortion with my Mom. This isn't 'taking away my First Amendment rights', it's being polite!
4.) The Day of Silence encourages students to nurture prejudiced, hostile and bigoted attitudes against Christians and others with traditional moral beliefs, and to spread inaccurate and harmful information.
This pisses me off so much. Just because someone is Pro-Rights doesn't mean they are trying to destroy all Christians. Hell, there are some gays who are Christians themselves! And whenever someone uses the term 'traditional moral beliefs' they mean the beliefs held by their particular faith.
5.) Using legitimate concerns about bullying and teen suicide to advance the promotion of homosexuality in schools is educational malpractice. It’s totally unnecessary to stop bullying and prevent harm to students, and Christians should not be a party to this gross distortion of a genuine problem. No one needs to embrace homosexuality or gender confusion in order to prevent bullying, but GLSEN routinely takes this deceitful position.
I am not sure of what she's saying in this one. I am assuming she's saying that kids being bullied because they aren't straight isn't a big deal. Unfortunately this isn't true. Homosexuals are bullied (sometimes to the extent the person kills themselves) and sometimes killed.
6.) Teachers know harassment when they see it. They can simply say, “Cut it out!” But GLSEN and the Day of Silence pressure teachers to amend this to, “Cut it out, because you are only permitted to say good things about homosexuality!” When did we all sign up to become public-relations agents for the good reputation of homosexuality? This viewpoint discrimination forces an untruthful and ungodly agenda on staff members, when stopping verbal harassment can be accomplished without becoming champions of “gay” behavior.
Whenever anyone says 'ungodly' it's just idiotic. So I will ignore it. What I will say is: it doesn't matter if you are supporting gays or not, hate speech isn't good. Yes, I even extend that to unneeded bashing of Christians. Except when they say hate speech against gays.
7.) There are legitimate lessons students should learn about prejudice and bias. But Day of Silence promoters deceptively link moral objections about homosexuality to racial discrimination or anti-Semitism in an attempt to legitimize the pro-homosexual agenda and portray homosexuals as perennial victims, while disguising the harmfulness and risk.
I like that Harvey starts this one with 'there are legitimate lessons students should learn about prejudice and bias' and proceeds to prove that point. And homosexuals are victims. In the USA they aren't allowed to marry and lots of other things that make them second class citizens. Even when they go out to die for their country!
8.) Teachers have used the DOS to inappropriately become classroom advocates and models of this deviant behavior. In one Ohio school, a teacher used a PowerPoint presentation to tell students about her “gay” support and even disclosed to students that she was a lesbian, without prior notice to parents or permission from her principal.
This reason nearly made me to lose my shit. Luckily I haven't drank tonight so my ranting was mainly calm. So, according to Harvey, a teacher has 'to give prior notice to parents or permission from her principal'. This makes zero sense. Being a lesbian is part of someone and nothing dangerous. Kids won't go all Children of the Corn because they found out about lesbians.
9.) The health and lifestyle risks of homosexuality are virtually never shared on the Day of Silence. Instead, students are given the deceitful impression that homosexuality is just as safe and worthy an identity as heterosexual dating and marriage.
This makes me think of when GAIDS, I mean AIDS, was first found. Let me tell you, any sexual activity (that has another person involved) has a risk (such as any STDs). Having gay sex doesn't involve more health risks than straight sex. Oh, and straight couples have butt sex too. I don't know what a lifestyle risk of homosexuality would be so I won't comment.
10.) The DOS message inhibits Christians from witnessing to their peers caught up in homosexuality or gender confusion. There is salvation through Jesus Christ and the hope of leaving this sin behind. Calling homosexuality a sin on the Day of Silence would be considered “hateful,” when it is actually God-honoring and respectful to the hearer. It may lead them to an eternal home with God. But that won’t happen if the truth is suppressed, which it always is on the Day of Silence. Stay home that day, and choose to witness on another, where perhaps you will have a fair chance of being heard.
Calling homosexuality a sin on ANY day (especially on a day celebrating the LGBT community) is just rude. Whenever a random person starts pushing ANY type of religion on me I get angry. Nothing to do with those who are anti-gay, just that the person is promoting something I think is false. It won't teach me jack shit, trust me. And Harvey saying you should skip school because of DOS is just plain stupid. Lessons are still taught that day.

Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: Shinto 2
Meditation was something I wasn't good at. I really didn't care if I was good at it or not. But now I needed my mind to rest to think of how I could get Yomosa here. Seduction was something I could use. Humans were stupid and easy to lure. It was a shame, then, that I wasn't created an incubus.
Of course, life had made me want to become an incubus. Not my nature. Or at least Jirou told me. I didn't believe that shit. What I believed was seduction could open all kind of doors with humans. If Hijunaki wanted Yomosa, it meant that she was a looker.
As I hissed with the anger that I couldn't ever touch her, Jirou came in. There was a fear in his eyes. Like the kind when we found Yamaka dead.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Yomosa is going to be married soon." He replied.
"How long until that happens?" I asked.
"A week. Two weeks at most." He paused. "So your seduction tactic is useless? Let me feign shock."
"Just because that tactic is useless doesn't mean I don't have another plan." I said and smirked.
"Ruin a perfectly good wedding?" Jirou asked. Though it sounded like a statement more than a question.
"Of course."
"Hijunaki won't be happy."
"Now he won't have a choice."
When we told Hijunaki he didn't like my idea.
"You can be there before the wedding day, Rig." He argued.
"But not without drawing attention to ourselves."
"You will draw even more attention to yourselves." Hijunaki sighed. "But, as this is your first real mission in a long time, I will agree to it. You deserve to delve into your baser nature, as long as the mission is completed successfully. Besides, Jirou is the only one to be able to control you."
Jirou and I bowed. Then left on our mission.
