We had some down time at work right before I was about to leave so we were just talking. Random stuff, no real direction, and somehow the conversation ended up on dinosaurs, which ones we thought were kinda cool and that sort of thing. And someone mentioned a liopleurodon. And I was like, “Huh. You know, I’ve only heard that name in one context before. That’s a memory I’m not really sure I want to relive.” The conversation continued in that vein until I left, neither of us directly refer
Recently my sister got super into the anime Hunter X Hunter, so I asked where she read the manga and spent the past two weeks getting caught up. I’d only barely heard of it until recently—it isn’t a particularly well-known series, which I found a bit odd since it’s been in Shounen Jump since the 90s. Part of that might be due to multiple hiatuses, and another part could be that it has some subtle deviations from shounen norms…which actually are a big factor in what makes it interesting. One
1. There are now subs of the Steins;Gate movie. I can't link it on BZP because of reasons, and you may be better off waiting until there are higher-quality subs, but just so you know, they exist. I cried a little. 2. I put up a new short story: Opportunity for Ambition. It's a part of my "Heretic Stories" project and focuses on Tehutti's character, and how I want to represent him. I was originally prompted to do this by the FFFC a while back (the same one I used to enter stories focused on
I caved and bought a new copy of Megaman ZX off Amazon. And it was actually new! It was in a case, and even wrapped in plastic. Rad. Anyway I’ve completed Easy Mode with Aile and most of Normal Mode with Vent so this seems like a good time to say stuff I guess. My memories of the first time I played this are a little fuzzy, but I do think I’m benefitting now that I actually know who all the Biometals are based on. ZX as a whole is a neat progression from the Zero series—it capitalizes on Zero
A thing I saw on social media prompted this and I thought I’d just throw it up to see what happens. Asking random questions is a popular thing here in the blogs, yes? Suppose you’re leading a makeshift Toa team, and you can choose the main character of up to five things (TV show, movie, book, anime, game, whatever). What does your team look like? Bonus points if you can work out actual team dynamics or even Kaita. The only catch is you’re not allowed to choose Goku/DBZ. Deliberate.
Everyone knows I love (J)RPGs, so it should come as no surprise that when I heard about an RPG you can stick Miis in and watch their Tomadachi Life-esque interactions, I was intrigued. Now that the demo is available on the eShop, I picked it up and played through it, and figured I’d do a post about it because why not. The gist, for those of you unaware, is that you are a traveler in a fantasy world inhabited by Miis. A Dark Lord has begun stealing people’s faces and sticking them on monsters,
Square Enix: (2006-2013) We are working hard on several new Kingdom Hearts titles, two will have major plot developments and one will retcon the story to show things involving fan-favorite characters, everyone’s putting in a lot of effort. Fandom: But none of them are called Kingdom Hearts III! Why do you hate us you should have called the fourth game in the series Kingdom Hearts III since you called the third one Kingdom Hearts II I’m going to completely ignore everything you’re doing because y
95% Guilt! (No, seriously, first try!) I've never seen Guilt this high, let alone on a Medal this good. At this point it's more sensible to wait for Magic Mirrors than fuse another one! Thank God I might actually be able to get some Adamant Ore now. EDIT: My gosh I just noticed Jack what are you doing. Why the sneak.
Aw, the title was supposed to be in all caps... D: So, Forgotten Bond is winding down, and I figured I'd settle on a release date for Kako. Right now, I'm planning to post the Prologue on April 19th and Chapter 1 on the 20th. (Since the Prologue isn't really anything new, I thought I should follow up with some actual new content immediately.) The bad news is...I'll probably be pretty distracted in April. That's the season of final projects, plus Disgaea 3 portable is being released about that
No major Bioni-Lords developments this week, sorry. So I guess I'll just talk about the major Pokemon development of the past week. We've been playing Pokemon Black and White for a while, waiting for them to announce the inevitable third version, when, on Sunday, an announcement was made. Rather than releasing a Pokemon Gray like everyone was expecting, they surprised us all by deciding to make Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2! Strange, yes, I agree. They really haven't told us much ab
Pokemon Black and White 2 are out in Japan! *fist pump* So yeah, once the info starts rolling in, I may make slight changes to the Kyurem Spirit. But probably not. Anyway, on to the main event of today... Korra Thoughts, contain 100% spoiler concentrate, highlight to read: -Hey, the vagrant's back! -Fighter planes! We're in trouble now... -My first reaction to Tarrlok's revelation: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?! -My second reaction: "Yakone and sons, bringing terror to Republic City for 50 yea
But first, I actually managed to update the Bioni-Lords Spirit Index after all this time! It's a very Technic Coliseum-inspired update, with FanonRiders and Cosmic Slizers and RoboRiders OS. No word yet on if this has motivated me to actually kick myself back into writing the darn thing, but... Anyway, E3. You’ve probably all heard the news. I’m just gonna mention the stuff I care about. I kinda had a neutral opinion about the idea of a new Smash Bros, but now that Mega Man is going to b
Being a Super Saiyan is fun, but all Saiyans end up getting killed sooner or later. When I died, some of my allies tried using the Dragon Balls to bring me back, but something went awry and my spirit was thrown into yet another dimenison--the dimension of The World Ends With You. I was dead, but I died in a different world, so normal rules in the Underground didn't apply to me, and I was free to do as I pleased. So, I figured out how to achieve a Noise form. Just because I could. (I was way
Some of you may be aware of the announcement of Pokemon Black and White, the Generation V games set to be released in Japan sometime 2010. While examining the pictures and hoping this wouldn't be another Generation III situation, I made a shocking discovery...look at this picture:
Look to the left, under the bridge...
THE TRUCK HAS RETURNED.
Those of you familiar with this dreaded enemy know what this means, and those of you not familiar with it should be glad you are not! In order
As of today, I’ve been on BZPower for 13 years. Being 24 years old, that means I’ve been on this site for over half of my entire life, so I guess that’s kinda cool. Let’s see how productive this past year was for me: -Wrote An End Escaped, which I rather like -Hosted Slizer Mafia 2: Okotans’ Revenge, which I think went well -Hosted Slizer Dome US, which did not go so well -Finished Shooting Star Sonia 2, ending up with a 100k word story that I wrote in roughly a year while holding myself to
Well, for starters, I decided to suck it up and go to an 11 PM showing of Star Wars on Thursday. It was an excellent decision and if you have not yet seen the movie I highly recommend you do so. There’s basically nothing else I can say about it, because I’d rather have friends than spoil it. Also, it was announced that Steven Universe is going to be back on January 4th! Not just that, but it’s going to be a full-fledged Steven Bomb, and the brief descriptions we’ve been given for the episod
So I guess Square Enix is doing a collaboration with a new smartphone game or something, and they’re doing ads to promote it of course, and guess what? There’s not a Cloud in sight. IT FEATURES FINAL FANTASY V.
Okay, so some of you probably know that I love The World Ends With You, I've mentioned it a few times before. It was an amazing DS game, and in August 2012 they released a remake for iOS devices (TWEWY Solo Remix) that carried with it a new piece of artwork heavily implying a sequel. Since then, while nothing really came of that implication, Square Enix was still doing a decent amount of stuff to keep TWEWY in our minds, so I remained hopeful. Well, Solo Remix has now been removed from the App
Kingdom Hearts Unchained X (with the X pronounced as “chi”) has just had a major update, now renaming itself Kingdom Hearts Union X (with the X pronounced as “cross”). First and most importantly: Illustrated KHII Kairi is available in the new Epic Medal Carnival, guaranteed within 5 draws and coming with three dots! She’s a Curaga, all attribute buff, all attribute debuf, fixed damage to all enemies, and 10 gauge recovery all wrapped into one beautiful package! With Tier 5 Guilt! Get this,
No this is not a Dragon Ball Z post Remember The World Ends With You? Remember the HD remake they put on iOS a while back with new secret artwork that hasn't amounted to anything yet? Well now it's on Android too. I really hope all these little things mean that Square Enix actually is planning on doing something big in the future... But anywho, now I know what I'm doing for the next year.
April is known for rain, I think? Well now stars will fall instead of water, because Jirachi is available from April 1 to 24! This is another one you can get from home, just use Mystery Gift. Of course, you might already have one if you’ve visited Japan, they get one like every single year for Tanabata, it’s totally unfair but once I get mine I’m going to be less angry about it. 721 HERE WE COME!
So, March. The month of celebrating green! Because Celebi is now available! I believe this is one you can download from the comfort of your own home, so just use the Mystery Gift option and you should be good. Unless it shows up in a special Poke Ball that no one can open, and then you take it to an expert and totally forget that it ever existed in the first place. That would sure suck, wouldn’t it? 721 HERE WE COME!
