The trailers won't be uploaded for another 14 hours, I guess. Let's see what's available that I can find now... Heheheheheh "There's a new Nobody." Ahahahahahaha! HA! HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! EDIT: Um, well, this is embarrassing. Eh, it turns out whoever told me it'd be uploaded at 1 was incorrect, sorry for the confusion. I'll definitely make a post with links once they're up, though. (That is, once it's up and I'm up and not at work, so even if it gets uploaded soonish I pr
References to G1 tend to bring with them surges of people advocating a connection theory, using said reference as proof of said connection. It seems that there's a misunderstanding of something that shows up a lot in reboots: allusion. Any reboot will naturally allude to the previous iteration(s) of the concept. Allusions tend to enrich the enjoyment of a work for anyone who gets them, and when they’re specific to a certain franchise, the creator has a much higher chance of providing this en
Hm, I have these projects that I should be working on, things people are actually waiting for me to make progress on. But what if, instead of doing those, I think up a completely new idea! …I swore I was going to get more writing done yesterday, and instead I get the bright idea to do a massive crossover story and fixate on the brainstorming process until 2 AM. So now I have to share what I’ve got, partially to see if anyone’s interested and partially to publicly shame myself for it. Okay
With the Pokemon anime changing to XY&Z a few days ago, I figured that would be the signal for some news on the next main series game. Nothing on that yet...BUT! Apparently Pokken Tournament received an update, and included is a hidden boss fight against a Mega Evolving Dark Mewtwo! I mean, since Mewtwo is super popular it made sense they'd show up at some point, but I don't think anyone was expecting it to be in the form of a corrupted boss thing. A lot of people are wondering if t
I fruitlessly check Toys R Us how many times looking for a Greninja amiibo, but one trip to Best Buy I mean, the excitement is stronger than the irritation, this is awesome thank you God (I feel like the picture is not very creative but I couldn't think of anything, it's actually impressive I was able to balance the thing)
So a few months ago the grocery store I work at said we were getting a sushi stand. I thought that might be fun, so I asked the manager if I could possibly train there and he said yes! Then he got fired and no one else seemed to know anything about the sushi. But now, it looks like we really are getting sushi (as soon as December, even), and while I dislike the new manager I think I’m going to ask him the same thing. Even if he says yes I’d probably still work some shifts in the deli, at l
Strike of the Hour is now live! Barring any last-minute decisions, this is my last Okoto 579 story for the 15 adaptation. In addition to introducing Karios’s character into the mix, I tried to take a look at Ekimu as well, plus give one or two nods towards 16. As for the first story of the 16 adaptation…well, don’t be surprised if you get some news on that soon!
First you were a Keyblade Master! Now, you're a Pokemon Master! Back in June I went to a convention and bought a Mega Charizard X plushie and a 3D Riku figure. The opportunity to take pictures like this almost makes that trainwreck of a weekend worth it.
Strike of the Hour will release Friday, October 23rd! Karios has been kind enough to work on some illustrations for the Okoto 579 series, so as thanks I have agreed to write a new short story starring a character of his design. Set after the end of The Failure‘s Claim, Ekimu’s journey across Okoto has taken him to the Region of Ice, where a fellow blacksmith offers him shelter. The smith has a secret, however, and Ekimu may come to realize that a very shocking change is coming.
Still holding off just a bit on starting the game, but I was thinking and I had a new idea. Once per round, after a promotional attempt fails, a player can reroll. As for how exactly that works, I’m still deciding. Maybe the player needs to add a few more Widgets to activate it (10% of what they tried using in the promotion?), or maybe just use the same amount of Widgets. The Widgets received would definitely be lower. The reroll might even guarantee success, but at the cost of very low Wi
Though you probably already guessed, since I said I would give the release date last week. Due to some Technic-al difficulties... ...Well, actually, I have a certain deadline approaching and figure I shouldn't start up something that will distract me from meeting it. Plus there are a few other things I'd like to kick myself into doing, so it may be just a little longer before an opening presents itself. I will try to start the tournament soon, though!
So I’ve been thinking I might want to run Technic Tournament 2 soon. My original idea was that future versions of the game would each have a specific theme in what fighters were involved, but now I’m thinking I should hold off on that—TT2 will be more or less the same as the first, just trying out some new system tweaks so that I can perfect the basics before trying any of the theme ideas. As for what changes will be made, Nevermore gave me two suggestions at the end of the last game: that th
Eh, you know, the idea got in my head, I’m impatient, the starting post is already typed up. But, like I said, I want to make at least a few more pre-release entries. Specifying on some points from my last post, I’m going to go with 13 points for profiles this time, and the headstart for fighters going against the fighter who made the most last round is going to be 500 W. I’m also considering that, with my next entry on the subject (which will have the release date), I’ll open early sign-ups
Okay so the Destral Cycle is powered by sound, which probably means that once it gets going it uses its own noise as fuel, and that sounds really efficient and green and cool and all but How do you start it? It must need some kind of external sound to start, right? Do you just sit on it and scream for a minute to start the engine? Imagine Antroz climbing onto this thing, about to ride it into battle, and just going “AAAAAAAAAHHH okay it’s running let’s go” Or if he got it back from the
Kingdom Hearts II.8 Final Chapter Prologue was just announced for a release in 2016! Man, that's soon! Now of course the fandom is rioting "ughugh dat means longer kh3 wait they hates usss" (no part of which is correct) but you know I am not going to let those idiots get me down because let's look at what II.8 includes: 1. An HD remaster of KH3D! It doesn't seem there will be any other new features, which is kind of disappointing I'll admit, but I absolutely love this game and this should en
The new CoroCoro is out and there’s big Pokémon news, mainly involving the mysterious Kalos legendary Zygarde. As expected, Zygarde has alternate forms! You may have heard of the post-credits scene from the newest Pokémon movie, featuring a tiny green blob Pokémon as well as a shadowy titan. The blob (and several similar but flatter blobs) has also been shown in trailers for the next Mega Evolution anime special. As it turns out, these are all different versions of Zygarde! The blob is “Z
It took even longer then usual, but I finally finished Chapter 7 of Shooting Star Sonia. I feel like, for taking so long, it should be a lot better than it is, but...sorry. At least it has Harp Note's first Star Force transformation! I really, really hope I'll be able to keep this little bit of momentum going and get Chapter 8 done before too long. I guess we'll have to see, though, eheheh...
I don't spend a whole lot of time poking around at all the features on the text editor, so I was wondering if there was some equivalent of the spoiler tags that aren't called "spoiler tags"? Because the ability to collapse/hide text is actually very handy for condensing long posts out of consideration to others scrolling by, or having an extra buffer to hide my soul-crushing insecurity behind. But, spoiler tags are for spoilers, and I should probably stick to breaking the rules only once a w
You know, when the strict rule-following kid says they did something not all that bad like it was the thrill of their life? WELL I work in a grocery store, in the deli department. We need two carts each night to complete our closing procedures and store everything in the freezer so it doesn’t go bad and stuff, but the workers in the store’s restaurant likes to steal our carts from us and leave us stacking chickens on tinier carts and hoping they don’t topple off. I didn’t close tonight, but I
So, D23 announced that Kingdom Hearts III will have a world based on Big Hero 6! Apparently it will take place after the movie, and the "original Baymax" will be possessed by darkness? I haven't seen the movie so I don't fully get it, but the artwork looks awesome, and since they seem to be working with the original creators, this might be the first instance of Kingdom Hearts actually providing a canon sequel to a thing...maybe. If so that would be really cool. Now I need to find a way to w
Just got to see the new DBZ movie, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! Still looking forward to when Super goes beyond it, though. It also made me realize one of the things I love most about Beerus and Whis: in this movie they flat-out admit that the only reason they don’t destroy Earth is because they like the food. Not for any reasons involving human beings themselves, just their food. It’s great. The reason I find this so refreshing is because it’s always bugged me that sci-fi
