Alternative Titles: 882 Notifications What.

-=Entry=-

So, yeah, haven't been active here for the past week or so, yeah... I apologize heavily for anyone waiting on me. But as the alternative title says, I have an abundance of notifications, and a case of 'too many things to do, so little time to do them'. =/ Minecraft didn't help any. =P

Also, also! I have a wireless set of headphones! The manual for it is partially in engrish, though. =P Doesn't matter, though, as it was rather easy to figure out. =P I also have a wireless mouse for my laptop that works fairly well. It was five dollars, and the headphones were about 9-ish, so it was a fairly good deal. =D

Also, Metric is an awesome band.

Alternative Titles: And There Goes Any Productivity On My Laptop.

-=Entry=-

I have Minecraft now!! =D Gonna need to use my laptop for playing it at all, but this should be awesome. =D I'll need to grab some stuff, like Optifine, so that my laptop doesn't blow itself up trying to do stuff like multiplayer, but now I actually have Minecraft!

Also, to mention about my Pokemon Nuzlocke playthrough... Yeah, I failed in Mistralton. =P Got into a triple battle I wasn't expecting, and had my three top Pokemon swept. =P I won it, and lasted a good while after(Which surprised me), but I just had them all faint, and had it be considered a fail, so I could just continue through, and beat the game to get some other stuff. Like Thundrus. =P

Alternative Titles: What Is This No Doctor Who Category Must Fix This Problem.

"Who killed all the Daleks...?"
"Who do you think?"

Well, that was certainly an awesome episode. Since that line was in the trailer, I feel comfortable actually posting it, but otherwise, I'm going to stick to non-spoilers for the entry; however, that was certainly an epic way to start off the series. =D

Alternative Titles: Route 4 Was Boring.

-=Entry=-

Pinwheel Forest:

So, despite having this in my title for the last entry, I never completed Pinwheel Forest until last night, so it doesn't fit there. =P Also, I don't like being underleveled. =P

So, tried Pinwheel Forest. Got curbstomped. Went off and tried it again, made it further, but was iffy, and went and mass leveled. That worked. =P So, then I went back, missed out on a chance to get a Pokemon because I didn't realize I hadn't caught anything yet when I saw an Audino, and simply continued forward, scattering Plasma off once again.

Skyarrow Bridge is still awesome.

Castelia City Stats:

Party: Roughly level 18, with Smugleaf far, far ahead of the rest.

Castelia City:

So, entering the city, I go off, making my first stop the Name Rater's to change the nickname of Rockman first to Rockwoman, but then to RockGirl, because Rockwoman has too many syllables. =P

Then I went around, grabbing items, gathering lemonades and Fresh Waters(Why pay 700 for Super Potions when you can slowly get tons of lemonades, that heal more for cheaper?), gathering up the Amulet Coin to gain LOADS of money, and then just curbstomping Plasma. Again. =P By now, it's kinda stabilized at a rate where I'm in between normal levels, and SLIGHTLY underleveled, which is much better than Nacrene.

After raiding the place, though, I went to Route 4 and got a new Pokemon! Not a Darumaka, unfortunately. A Scraggy. Eh, it'll do; boxed SpoonyBard, named this HyperFight(The full name of Super Hyper Street Fighter 4 Uber Ultimate Deluxe Arcade Edition wouldn't fit, unfortunately.), and then went off and finished up the city, and curbstomped Burgh surprisingly easily.

Then Bianca challenged me. Not too bad; I thrashed her. However, some memory of my old Black playthrough made me stop and heal everything quickly. Sure enough, Cheren was waiting to challenge me like ten steps away!! ._. He couldn't have waited until the other side of the route? Whatever, crushed him easily, moved on forward, short route is short, got Ultra Balls, went into Nimbasa.

Nimbasa City Stats:

Roughly level 20, level 21 for my entire party. Except Smugleaf(Level 25 evolved as well), Roadkill(Somehow level 24. 0_o Also evolved), and Vezok(Level 23, and now a Simipour)

Nimbasa City: Aka, the Never-Ending-Sidequest:

So, here's where I stopped advancing the story for a bit. Entered the city, got the bike, got to hear the awesome Unwavering Emotions theme(=]), and got some more items. Then I just stopped. Why? Musicals. Or rather, one musical, so I could finally get that last prop for Black! =D I now have a Silver card on that, which is awesome. Now I just need to finish up the Pokedex(Which should be easy), and work on somehow getting a 49 streak in both singles and doubles, and it will have FINALLY been completed. And just in time for Black/White 2. =D

However, after I finished the musicals, I thought to myself, and decided it wouldn't hurt to go finish up all the Entralink missions. So now my rented game already has a Trainer card upgrade, and I haven't even gotten past Nimbasa. I also grabbed some trainers for my Black City while I was at it. =P

And... Yeah. That's about it for now. Haven't done much aside from sidequest stuff there. xD Though, the stadiums are higher leveled than I recall...

Stats, part 1: Roughly level 21, 22. Only a handful of levels since the last update. Will have a more comprehensive status update when I do Nimbasa City part 2. =P

Alternative Titles: I Update These Sometimes After Posting By The Way

-=Entry=-

Route 3: So, I trained against the people near the day care, and then headed onward. And then Cheren shows up for another fight. Seriously, do these people have anything better to do? 0_o

That's okay, though, I wiped the floor with him easily, and PLAAAAASMAAAAA showed up again, to cause more trouble. Cheren and I used them for target practice, and we were on our way, after I got two more team members, and messed up the name of one of them.(Molly the Lillipup and Rockman the... female Roggenrola. ; Needless to say, I forgot to look at the sign a few times. Updating that nickname for once, when I get to the namerater. Luckily, it's only one city away. =P)

Everything else was fine, though.

Route 3 Stats:

Smugleaf: Level ?
Roadkill: Level ?
SpoonyBard: Level ?
Vezok: Level ?
Molly: Level ?
Rockman: Level ?

I couldn't remember the levels. =P

Anyway, next is Nacrene...

Nacrene City:

Ugh. Started this at like ten or eleven at night last night; didn't finish until just now. >_>

First off, I talked to Cheren, and went around looking for items, and then skipped right past everyone, and headed straight for the next route; hoping for a fighting type. ... Yeah, I got a Tympole instead. >_> I just nicknamed that Heartfrog(Random name is random!), and then went around fighting everything for EXP, since I'd need it.

After finally getting through everything, and fighting the nurse for a free heal(To hopefully save the second heal from her for later), I went back into the city... A wild N appeared! Crushed him easily, and waltzed through to the Gym. I hate that place, I really do. After struggling(Not literally using the move) through to the end, with a reset because I apparently use the same techniques for a nuzlocke as I do for Fire Emblem, I got to the Gym Leader. ... Yeah, half those attempts can be described as being like the poor person who's in the path of a steamroller going 90 miles an hours. Even if I had've reset, there would've been no way for me to continue, if I had've miraculously won. So, I decided to train a little more, and then got crushed more times.(I've likely failed the actual mode like ten times now, game-over wise, so I'm just going to keep resetting from now on, while keeping casualties if I win a fight with a fainted Pokemon; selling all revives I get, for Super Potions. =P) After getting utterly owned one time, I decided to try Smugleaf first. That did better, though the second Pokemon was the problem then...

Then I decided to use Growth. That was the trick. Used Leaf Tornado twice to reduce the opponent's accuracy to like nothing, and then used Growth while going 'HA ha!' at the Herdier as it tried and failed to hit me, before finally finishing the poor thing off with a supercharged Leaf Tornado. Of course, the first time I tried that, I underestimated the pure strength and speed of my Pokemon, and attempted to heal, forcing a faint. And since my last attempt before this had shown that the Pokemon up then could singlehandedly faint my entire team without even breaking a sweat, I just reset, and tried it again. That time, I just used Leaf Tornado before it could Retaliate me to death. Yeah, that worked, one hit KO, and I'm still laughing at how simple that was. xD Gonna have to hope for some fire or flying type, though, for Burgh... Thinking of trying to give the Liberty Ticket to this game, but I don't think that'll work. =/

Pinwheel Forest Stats:

Smugleaf: Level 20
Roadkill: Level 15
SpoonyBard: Level 15
Vezok: Level 15
Molly: Level 15
Rockman: Level 16

Heartfrog: I don't know, I don't care, it's boxed.

Now then, onto Pinwheel Forest! One day has passed, so I only have 4 more. Given that in the span of almost a day, I've beaten two gyms, however, I'm optimistic this'll work. =D

Alternative Titles: Let's Get The Blog On The Road!

-=Entry=-

So... As I said; I chose Snivy(Nicknamed Smugleaf), and my trainer name is Alex. Gonna be brief, since I can't waste all my time on writing. xD

Start, Nuvema Town:

So, me, Cheren, and Bianca all chose different Pokemon; Bianca an Oshawott, and Cheren a Tepig. I easily won both battles, got the Pokedex, and Town Map, along with the Xtransciever.

After watching the tutorial on catching, and the talking finished, I walked through the grass, and found a... Patrat. ... Lovely. Managed to will myself not to kill it, and caught it easily. Nicknaming it Roadkill, to show how much I like Patrat. =P Since that'll need training most, I'm gonna train that first, and hope it doesn't die on me first. ;

After nearly having my Patrat faint, I eventually decided just to head to Accumula. It's just not worth having everything faint trying to make them stronger, when you can't revive fainted Pokemon in a Nuzlocke. =P

Accumula Pokemon Stats:

Smugleaf: Level 7
Roadkill: Level 5

Let the Nuzlocke begin!

Accumula City:

Blah, blah, blah, tutorials everywhere. Grabbed the Pokeball, hoped for a potion I didn't get, and instead got a free heal(My last one, to my knowledge. D=), and bought a ton of potions.

Fought N, won by a long shot(Honestly I did more damage in one turn with a critical hit than he did the entire battle. And he was two levels higher. >>), went outside the city, got the Running Shoes, and fought a... PURRLOIN! ... What. I swear this game's forcing me to get all the ones I don't want... At least I'll be getting a Simipour. ... Watch it be male, to spite me. >_>

Anyway, this is how weird my thought processes can get: I named the Purrloin SpoonyBard. After thinking of how well it worked as a thief. And then drawing a blank on those names, and instead picking from others in Final Fantasy 4. And that being the first that popped into my mind. Wow. xD

Anyway, after a few close calls, I leveled up more, and went to exit to Striaton, to heal, get my money, and crush the three brothers! ...

Bianca: "Hey! Listen!"

Oh no, no, no, not a battle now... D= Sure enough, it is indeed a battle... And after one close call, I swept the floor with Bianca's team. Snivy is awesome. Patrat too, even. =P

Well, so far so good!

Striaton Pokemon Stats:

Smugleaf: Level 9
Roadkill: Level 8
SpoonyBard: Level 7

Onward we go!

Striaton City:

Gah. This has been the main reason I haven't updated for a few hours. >_> Let's see...

First off, I went straight to the Dreamyard, after gathering up the spare items lying around. Two battles, right off the bat. Won both perfectly, but it began to whittle my team down. Worth it, though; got a Panpour. A male Panpour. Named it Vezok. =P

Next, I went to the school to advance things, and crushed Cheren. If you'll believe it, he was easier than those trainers in the Dreamyard. =P Then I attached the berries he gave me, and headed to the gym itself. Gah. I don't remember it being so hard. >_< Then again, I probably caught like 10 Patrat to switch out to when I fought it last. =P

First one, not a big problem. Second first, the first time, I lost my Snivy right off the bat. Accidentally turned the power off, though; but I don't think things would've gone well. Second time, I didn't hit the power button by accident, and won the match perfectly, prepared this time.

Then came Chili. Gah. I hate that Lillipup of his. Kept spamming that move in the TM he gives out. Then proceeded to sweep my entire team, almost. Nearly took him out with my Panpour, but BAM, hit the power button again. I really am half tempted to play this on my 3DS, instead of my old DS. But since my 3DS is busy waiting with Black in it, I can't really do that. =P

Take two, I level up this time, and then take down the Lillipup with my Patrat and Snivy. Pansear was taken down exclusively by my Panpour, despite not having leveled up like the last time I fought Chili. xD

Then came the Dreamyard again. Luckily, it was just Team Plasma, so I wiped the floor with them, and am just stopping to grab my 3DS and use the C-Gear. So, yeah.

Route 3 Pokemon Stats:

Smugleaf: Level 13
Roadkill: Level 13
SpoonyBard: Level 11
Vezok: Level 12

Wish me luck for the future, I think I'll need it. =P

Alternative Titles: Nuzlocke Go Go Go!

-=Entry=-

So, Pokemon White Nuzlocke. Five days to pull it off. CAN I DO IT!? We'll soon find out! ... About as soon as I figure out how to delete save data, that is. >>'

/EDIT: And done; Trainer: Alex(Not my real name, if anyone's wondering, just one randomly chosen in my mind from different past RPG character names. =P), Starter: Snivy.

CAN I MAKE IT? We'll find out in five days! =D

Alternative Titles: The Stand, Mann Or Machine, Vengeance

-=Entry=-

Send your armies
There's no mann or machine
Who can stop me
And you'll soon see
I come for vengeance
For the first son of Light
And I'm ready, and I'm willing, and I'm prepared to fight-

Wait, you mean this isn't what I was meaning to post? It was a TF2 update? Oops.

So, yeah, aside from playing MvM today a lot, I've also been listening to The Protomen a lot. And, well, the two tie together very well. Especially vengeance. I just wish I could listen to that while playing MvM. Will have to figure out a way to do that effectively, without killing my machine(Pun not intended. D= ) with all the lag it'd get.

Speaking of lag, I was in a match earlier, and though everything was taken down alright, and nothing froze, I had horrible lag at around the point when 1 million bullets flew across the screen many times a second, thanks to my sentries, an opposing Heavy, many shooting scouts, my teammates(Which included a Heavy), and the like. ... Yeah, that was a lot to process. xD

Also got to course 4 in Portal 2 co-op, thanks to Xaeraz. =D

Alternative Titles: But You'll Have To Wait 6 Years For A Third Portal 2 Entry

-=Entry=-

So; just beat Portal 2. That was an awesome game. Also space. Oh, here come the space cops!

I kinda wonder, about the ending, though. I wonder if it really happened as it tries to make you believe. I hear the story's extended in the Co-op story mode; but, well, I don't exactly have anyone to go through that with, since no-one seems to want to go through that story mode again. =/ Guess that's what i get for getting the game like a year and a half after everyone else... Ah well...

Though, now I'm freed up for TF2, I guess. And creating new levels in Portal 2. Not Co-op, though, since I likely won't be able to test it. =P

Alternative Titles: You May Not See Me For A While - This Is A Natural Side Effect And Should Not Be Questioned.

-=Entry=-

So, yeah, I have Portal 2, and it's installed and working perfectly. So yeah, the cake is a lie, I'm still alive, and I'm going to play Portal 2 now. =P(I think this is the quickest I've ever played a new game that wasn't named Pokemon, Megaman or Zelda. =P)
