I need to rent more time...

I don't know how I missed it, but in my Resistance Two review I completely forgot about the AI! I've died a few times because an enemy meleed me to death after walking past my allies, who were busy shooting targets behind cover. Which is somewhat tolerable, but whent hey walk past enemies to be able to shoot enemies behind cover without negating their cover, I just must point out the zetta fail involved.

Oh yeah, I was going to do a Rent review. A week ago.

So yeah. I just got to composer rank in TWEWY, and now I don't know what to do. Keep upping my rank, yeah, but all I really have left is item farming to I can buy those zetta expensive items at the shibuya department store and gathering a few missed pins, most notably the one you get for beating Hanekoma on expert, which I'll need to keep downing food to do since I can't beat him on hard and I'm level 100.

Um, yeah, Rent. Rent Rent Rent. Rent.

Absolute crap! It zetta sucks!

That's what I want to say, anyways. But I believe in honesty, so yeah, I guess I'l give you an actual review. This is gonna be SO FACTORING PAINFUL!

Raam had already seen Rent and advised me not to, but I told Raam the logic behind me seeing Rent. Slipknot has a cult-like following, professional reviewers think TWEWY will become a cult classic when they discontinue the DS, and System Shock Two has a cult following, and even if I didn't play System Shock Two, I played Bioshock, and they're the same thing, as Raam tells me. Now, to sum it up, Rent has a cult following. Given my attraction to stuff with cult followings, I couldn't not like Rent. Right? Right? Right?

*Sigh* Rent's supposed to be about living for the moment, and if my like of TWEWY hasn't tipped you off, I'm already sold in that area, so I'd naturally go easy on Rent in that category. But I had to be told by people with a better knowledge of both the time and place that Rent was reffering to how Rent's supposed to convince me on living for the moment, and I still didn't find it to be a very strong argument.

"Someone died. Don't you want to live for the moment?"

"No."

"The person died of AIDS. Now do you want to live for the moment?"

"No. I'm a virgin."

"But someone you care about could have AIDS."

"Have you met my friends?"

"Uh... well... Look! These people aren't living for the moment, and they're SAD!"

"First: Duh. Second off, why didn't you point that out during the play?"

"Um..."

Furthermore, I didn't care about the dead character because 95% of everything is done in song. How am I supposed to care about the characters through SONG? But rest assured, the writing convinced me that I would have cared about the characters if the play had had actual dialogue. Sigh. Zetta Sigh.

And then there's the other message. Love. It's a terrible message. "But you like TWEWY!" a retarded two-year-old says. Which is about friendship, not love. The sad thing is, Rent seems to be providing the proper counter argument against love as a message to all your problems. I loved you. Then you died. Now I can't enjoy the moment. Lord Budda concurs.

Rent butchered one of my principles and then tried to back it up with a principle I'm against, so why don't I hate it. Because, somehow, through the music and lyrics, Rent managed to draw me in. I absolutely hated what I was being drawn into, and despite my belief that one's art represents themselves, it didn't make me feel like living for the moment, but it still drew me in. Themn I remembered that the acting was astounding, so it might not have been Rent's fault that it did a good job.

Overall? It zetta- NO! I'm done with this rating thing! Yahtzee's right, giving scores to express your feelings, even if replaced by words, simply doesn't work. I really should have stopped with Fargo, but I'm stopping here instead. In short, don't see Rent unless you still think love can solve all the world's problems. Like terrorism. We'll shoot them with candy hearts. That will appease people both for and against using violence to combat terrorism!
