I Have a Serious Question

Okay, so I'm seeing if I can't get a second opinion that's in no way connected to my personal life.   OK, so a little less then a month ago I was at a local restaurant with my family for my father's birthday. When I went up to order the young lady who took it made note that she saw me there often, (which is true) and asked for my name. (She also gave me hers but I was kind of panicking at this point and I can't actually remember it.) Now, my family is convinced that she was flirting with me.

On Preordering Video Games

I don't understand the justifications my friends come up with for continually doing this. I was playing Destiny with my friend and one of his friends and he mentioned that he almost finished paying off his pre-order for GOW4. When I asked him what he would do if that was a bad decision and it was a dud. He nonchalantly said he would trade it in. When I mentioned waiting for reviews, his freind, in a defensive, sort of offended tone stated reviews don't matter and you should decide for yourself w

There's Probably A Lesson Somewhere

Continuing on a fairly recent blog entry of mine dealing with the young lady at the restaurant, it would appear that she no longer works there.   This is not the first time this has happened, though usually my reaction is of relief that I don't have to deal with it anymore. This time I'm a bit dissapointed.   I know it's my own fault, but I just can't seem to do anything about it for a mess of reasons. I thought maybe I could do it this time.   Probably the biggest one is my inability to drive,

A question for someone who's good with computer type stuff.

Ok. So my copy of Heartgold has ceased to function. It says the save data can't be accessed. Anyone got any ideas?   I've got the thing open. I'm aware that that isn't recommended, but I figured, since Nintendo customer service said that getting it fixed/replaced is the same price as a new copy, and there's no guarantee they can fix it, the worst case scenario is that it continues to not work. best case scenario, I can get it working long enough to grab any pokemon I want off of it.   So, Anyon

Someone Explain Fire Emblem to Me

I get the basic principle of the game, it's basically a more advanced chess match. But anything beyond that is eluding me.   I've been able to struggle most of my way through some if Awakening but I've hit a point where I got stuck and put it down, and am hoping to pick it up after I'm willing to remove Pokemon from my system.   It might be worth noting that I don't generally play turn based strategy games.   So, any tips?

BoTW, post initial thoughts

I'm really enjoying this game, I haven't enjoyed a Zelda game this much since I played Windwaker.   But...   The problems I have with it are starting to grate on me. The weapon "durability" system is getting extremely annoying. And the stamina meter really, *really* needs to not ever be used again. It serves no purpose other than allowing me to get so very close to the top before I fall off of whatever I was climbing Bonus points if I fall into water and immediately drown. And god help you if yo

Are you kidding me.

So I recently discovered my Pokemon ranger game allows me to get an event deoxys.   If I downloaded the event 2 years ago. Which I did not.   Why do the insist on doing this sort of thing? It makes no sense... Yet another reason I'm not particularly fond of Nintendo at times...

Enployment!

After just under six months I was able to find a job as a janitor. Not glamorous by any means, but I can't complain.   It beats being an over the phone Verizon rep. If you ever get the opportunity to do that, don't.

Merry Swwitchmas!

Woo! I must say, first impressions are pretty strong. It feels like a really well built console.   Hopefully BOTW comes early tomorrow....

Has science gone too far?

So there's now a way to hack computers that aren't on the grid using inaudible sound waves to establish connection. The bug can infect computers within 65 feet of the source even if the computer in question has no network connection and send keystrokes and other stuff through it. That's just scary. And really cool. I don't know whether to be fascinated or worried.

Today was a good day

I went out thinking I might get a copy of MH4U.   I was not expecting the Shulk amiibo. But apparently nobody had asked about them and when I showed interest in the new Xenoblade game the employee mentioned he had an extra one in stock. And the Target nearby had one copy of MH4U left.   Score.   Also, don't ask about the pink tinge. I honestly haven't a clue what that's about.

"Next Gen"

-A screenshot of something someone at Microsoft actually said.   So either A: we aren't considering the Wii U "Next Gen" (Whatever that means), B: They forgot about the Wii U, or C: "Delivering", meaning actually launching it. as apposed to having hardware emulation built into the system. Like the Wii U. (I like my Wii U)   Plus we're still using the term "Next Gen" almost two years into the console's life cycle.   If it's an issue of lack of power then one has to wonder why Halo 5 lacks split s

A serious question

How far up do I have to get in the educational system before the teachers goal is prepare me for life outside of school rather then the next level of school?   Now excuse me while I cram information into my brain so I can take a test and write an essay on memorized information in ink in the span of an hour and then forget about all of it the second I walk out of the classroom. Because that's apparently what going to a university is all about.   Which exactly why I'm at a community college.   Did

Metal Earth kits

So, anyone else seen the metal earth kits in hobby stores? I picked up a few and it's starting to get out of hand. Might post pictures soon.

That was stupid: Part 2

I was right. That was a terrible Idea. Now instead of sitting in the seat at the table I sit at, she sat a different table.   Again, this is why I don't talk to people.

Metroid Prime: CLEAR!

That took far longer then it should have... great game though. Despite it being a decade old it still looks really good, if maybe a bit outdated. Things like missiles exploding and seeing Samus's face reflected in the visor where really nice touches.   On to Metroid Prime: Echoes!

Super Metroid!

Finally! It reminds me of when I used to play zero mission when I was younger. (Say what you will, but I found that game immensely entertaining as a child)   Things that have killed me so far:   Some spikes A random creature A mutant plant from the ceiling (Probably has a name.) A freaking chozo statue (Did not expect that one.)

Club Nintendo's closure

So I read an article that club Ninendo is closing. (Not said article, that's Nintendo's announcement and FAQ)   Just thought I'd post it here since there are quite a few people who post about the games and stuff.   I also need to find something I can use to get 5 points because I am literally that far away from a copy of Super Metroid. I'll look at getting a VC game or something...   Aso Flipnote 3D is apperantly coming next month as a free download for club Nintendo users. (Finally)   Also: If

MyMathLab is awful

Question: "Do you trust the predicted data?"   Me: Not really, I'm not even sure what it's referring to honestly.   *Clicks answer, gets it wrong, clicks a second answer, also wrong*   Me: No, wait, scratch that, I do trust the data, apparently. Glad they informed me of that.   Seriously, Why are they asking me an opinion if they are looking for a correct answer.   And don't even get me started on when it decides to ask me to estimate.

Let's talk about Bioshock: Infinite

If you haven't played the game and you plan to, You shouldn't read this. It could very well ruin the game for you, I'm going to stay away from major plotpoint but the ending just won't be the same if you know how it hit's you. If you're thinking about playing it, I think you should. It's a good story driven game with some unfortunate oversights.   I originally heard one of my friends raving about this game in my math class during senior year, not too long after it's release. Fast forward to just

Work/CEO Visit

A little while ago the CEO of the company I work for visited my place of work. Me being the sole janitor working there obviously had a lot of work to do. It was an exhausting week as you can probably imagine.   I was not able to stay, but several of my coworkers informed me that the CEO was very impressed at how well the place was kept up and that most branches don't put in much effort.   So that's pretty awesome. I wonder how many people can say that. Definitely an improvement over my last plac

Shockwave's thoughts: FoC Shockwave Reprolabels

So, I figured to kick things off with me having a blog I would do a review of something. Lets go.   Fall of Cybertron Shockwave Labels     Here he is all decked out in his shiny pink labels. Very shiny. they look a bit dull in the pictures... Anyway, This set includes stickers for his arms, shoulders, chest, legs blaster, wings, rear thruster and the bottom of his feet as shown in jet... thing mode. He also comes with a few alternate labels if you prefer him to look more like his G1 cou

Happy Birthday Metroid!

This day (or tomorrow maybe?) Was when my favorite video game franchise launched. I wouldn't discover it until after the launch of Zero Mission. Which is still my favorite in the series.   I'm going to go celebrate by attempting to beat Prime.
