Felt like talking about the game everyone agrees is at least one reason Nintendo owns: Super Smash Bros. Melee. I haven't found a soul who dislikes it, this ultimate-fighting game of Nintendo All-Stars. Well, now (especially with Brawl) It's more like the All-Stars and the Co-Stars and the Anti-Stars as well. But what sparked this blogtry is that I finally regot the game. Not considering trophies, I unlocked everything I could before I got Mewtwo. This left me without Mr. Game and Watch, Battlefield, Dream Land, and no way to get the rest Final Destination because Event Matches 40+ were blocked until I got that psycho cat. Finally, yesterday, I did and unlocked everything else. Now all that's left is grabbing all 290 trophies. If I had an Action Replay, I could always get the 3 secret ones. But It's not worth the risk. Sorry, Tamagon. So the first thing I started doing is practice wave-dashing. I want to get really, really good at this game so I can go back to CyberJocks and own the people who owned me. For some reason, I'm excellent at it with Luigi and Mr. Game and Watch. I'm considering making Gamey my prime character - simply because he's weird, and people underestimate him. That bucket can deal over a hundred damage if you happen to catch three of Samus's charged beams. Speaking of Samus, that's my second character I want to get really good at. My top characters until now has been Link, Roy, and Ness. But Samus is a really good fighter. But the main reason I want to use her is her secret ability - you can make the Grapple Beam twice as long. To do it, you have to rapidly press Z and the up and down arrows on the plus pad. It takes a lot of practice to figure out how to do it right, but once you get it, you can accomplish the feat in the time it takes to shoot one Grapple Beam. This trick makes Samus's Grapple Beam twice as long. When you press L, it homes in on your opponents. You have to manually press Z to actually grab them, though. The trick is useless in a small, fast-paced battle because you'll probably never get the chance to pull it off. But still, it's an attribute that makes Samus deadly. Unfortunately, Samus doesn't Wave-Dash very well. I'm still working on perfecting that move, particularly WDing backwards to grab onto a ledge to Edge-Hog. I still barely understand shuffling - the combination of short hopping, fast falling, and L-cancelling that lets you use your airs while still visibly on the ground. I may stick with Link because of the fact that he's incredibly diverse. Though he's slow, he might have good Wave-Dashing, and I'm already used to all his moves. Roy's excellent against computers but his slowness is costly against quick-thinking humans. And Ness, he's too much of a tactician to do much good in a free for all. His moves are strong, but he himself is rather weak. I was playing in Training to figure the differences between each of Peach's random vegetables. I'm discovered that the normal smiley face is by far the most common, and does 6 damage when thrown normally. Most other vegetables do 6 damage as well, but I think there's a difference in how far it hits your opponent. The winking face does 18 damage, and the miserable-looking face does around thirty! Plus, on rare occasions, Peach can pull a Bob-Omb out of the ground! It's funny to see the reactions on none-the-wiser opponents in a match with no items, who are perplexed as to where that Bob-Omb came from. (o)

I can't really tangent on something I don't even think much about. The only things that enter my mind when I think water buffalo are two songs- Everybody's Got A Water Buffalo - Veggietales Vector Point Engineering Water Buffalo - Prophecy (o)

My premiership runs out any day now this month. What's going to happen to my blog? Will it cease existance, or will it simply be locked until I decide to send in more money? Anyone with any wisdom on this matter, kindly inform me so I can start copying and saving my blog entries. Plus, everyone should know, my name's going to be Etcetera tomorrow. Try to get used to not calling me CD anymore. (o)

Sigh... "Cruises" looks like "Gruises". Oh, where was I? The Wind! This blog entry is actually about the wind! The wind is MAWSOME! Wind, if people made me choose what element I like best (I'm talking 'bout the four) would be what I immediately choose. I'm a wind guy. I like wind. I dun like passing it, I like it passing me. The whooshness of a very windy day is just... man, it takes my imagination and tries to like, stretch it out along with the ribbons of air that whizz by. Wind totally owns the other three: Fire is totally awesome to watch, what with the ribbons of flame licking up to the sky and going so fast they don't seem to move so much as appear then vanish. But fire is SO cliche as a favorite element. People like the burningness and destroyness of it and not much else. Me, I just appreciate the flames flipping to the sky, the stars shinging down, and a crunchy Summore in my mouth. I top peace over destruction (I mean, come one, peace makes everyone, including you, happy, destruction's just pointless). Water is cool in different circumstances, mainly what's happening to it. Thanks to Bionicle, with water I connotate female, which makes me think I -whoa, on my computer clock I thought it said "Yesterday" (it actually said Tuesday), which would've been very odd if today was yesterday.. - shouldn't like water as much. But water's prolly my second choice, because it, like wind, is flowy and wispy. Just thicker. Plus, with water comes bubbles. Were bubbles an element, hoo boy, don me a cape and call me Bubble Man (But I'm already Bagel Man). Taking photographs with the sun reflecting off its rippliness is fun. It's funner when ducks are in lensshot. Geese are so weird.. I'm not even joking. They're just WEIRD. Earth.. I've never really got this one. According to Bionicle it's dirt. And hunchbacked people. But really I've always seen earth mean dirt/stone, or plants. Either or. I like to think of the quality of plants being titled "Nature" but nature rules over weather and all that stuff.. so nah. Take Neopets. Their Earth faerie isn't some dirt girl, she's got ivy and plants all around her- wait, idn't she the one with the afro? Disco... earth.. Gah, I've got too many things to connotate with earth to even know if I like it or not. Notre Dame, astronomy and John Travolta. Confusing... Heart. Oh gosh. Captain Planet just made the most retarded decision ever. Some South American kid with a monkey. What.. exactly.. does heart do? I always imagine him holding his hands out zombielike and moaning, "Heeaaarrttsss...." Since we're on the subject of Captian Planet (who still purchases despite Ma-Ti), another plus about wind is that it's possessed by that European chick :-O :-O So you see, don't you.. why wind owns. It does because it does. The reason why is itself. But I'm not here to tangent too far on logics.. tuff... but instead to portray the reasons why I love the wind. When it's hot and sunny and the air is like a breathable plastic sheet (wind != air), and clouds are off throwing a party someelsewhere, if you've got the wind you've got coolness and comfort. Especially when it's really, REALLY windy, and the wind pushes you, that's a heckofalotof fun. And crunchy leaves swirling around make it a dream come true. We've had an area of our school courtyard (which is huge and awesome (at least where the trees are) ) that never got raked, and it was right in the path from the cafeteria to French. The result was an enormous pile of leaves that were fun to crunch through (not too deep, or feel the yicky dampness) and let the wind swirl around in mini tornado (dust devils are so cool!!!). Sadly, speeching of tornados, that is the only negative effect to wind. Tornados and hurricanes and gales all such violent-wind storms. There's scarcely anything in this world without a bad side. But it's important to appreciate the goodness of wind, the things we ake for granted, otherwise all we think about wind is the disasters it causes and we think, "Who needs wind? I hate the wind." If you hate the wind, well, that's not a vital enough opinion that I would try to convince you otherwise of, but know that I disagree. The wind rules. WindWaker was okay.. the graphics could actually be neat in some parts... that boat was cool.. WindWalk is an AWESOME ability. I always use that hero when I'm playing Orcs. The Vialsi from Parable (New version of the Core Dimension) are all themed around wind. They're cool. Tuarion ("Tar-yun") rides a Dere ("dare"), an animal made from wind ("wi-nd"). The wind... in spain.. stays mainly.. in the plain. Sorry, non-plain-living Spaniards. The wind is totally in my pocket. So are 3 dollars (boo yah, $ $ $) but the wind is fine sharing close quarters with several silver coins. Make that not several, a dozen. He's immune to literature! (o) Oh look, I din'd use any tags...

I'm greater than you. You're lesser than me. I'm better than you. I'm better x3. I'm cooler than you. As cool as can be. I'm greater than you. You're lesser than me. (o)

I have a friend named Phillip Man. I'm not joking. His first name is Phillip and his last name is Man. Well, actually, his last name is Mane. But there's a circumflex over the A, signifying it was once Masne but the S was dropped for some reason. Therefore, many people mispronounce it "Mane" as in the state Maine or the lion's mane, but no. It's correctly pronunced "Man". Every superhero has to have a theme song, so I coined this jingle: Phillip Man, Pheh-Phillip Man. He does nothing at all, nothing that he can't can. He can't can is not what he can't, so he can't do what he can cannot do. What do he does is a do he can't, And can't can he cannot do can what he can't. Well, the word can has become meaningless to me. I suddenly am thinking, "That means 'able'?? Since when did it mean anything other than a metal cylindrical container? Can? Can means.. can? Have I ever said the word can before? Can I can? Can't I? So now I'm not totally sure can is even spelled that way.. though there's not much more ways to spell it. Kan? I dun think so. I'll have to trust that odd unsure reasurance that it's the right way. Has that ever happened to you? You repeat a word so much it becomes meaningless? It's odd that things can do that. Oh look, I used can. I guess seeing as it comes naturally, I can use can just fine. But it's really odd. Like take a moment to analyze the word "It". Why it? Why not "Wuh" or "Ut" or "Ite"?? Why do we say it? Why is it spelled I-T? Why does I make the i sound? Why can't it look like some other symbol? Why can't the ih sound be signified with a G-shaped letter, or maybe just an O? Why the heck is the alphabet even in that order? (o) And who coined the phrase, "coin a phrase"?

Dun know if anyone ever clicks on my "Pfft" minibanner, but in case you haven't, I wanna let you know it happens to link to one of the most awesome websites on the internet. www.beepboopbop.com Isn't it just totally hilarious? I have no clue who made it, my friend just discovered it while Googling and showed it to me. The best part is that it's not some Geocities or Freewebs site or anything like that - it's a genuine domain name that somone obviously has some sort of paying account to keep on the net. Even if you disagree, I must admit I love that site. You have to admire someone who goes through all that effort to be wasteful. And another thing. Go to coredimension.com (as well as .net or .org). It's um.. interesting. (o)

I do. I guess I've always liked it but had been against the whole sterotypical beep-boop-bop kazzo kind, which now I love just as much anyways. What mainly got me hooked was an online DDR-type game called Flash Flash Revolution, which I can't link to because it has message boards. My favorite techno artists are as follows- SuperGreenX - Lame name, but amazing music. Most of his songs blend in orchestra with ambient electronic, making songs that'd be great for background music in a Myst-type game. But some of his songs can be rather hardcore, and many are done in a unique style. He happens to remix video game songs frequently, making them so different you'd have never guess he didn't make the tune up. Fave Songs: Crowdpleaser, 4F73R M3, Mario Paint - Intense Color, and Synesthetic. KaW - Goes by too many names - KeeL, Smiley, Bonzai, etc. that I've just come to refer to all of him as Kaweeleybitzaitor X. His music follows the traditional techno system the most - lots of tracks that repeat in a pattern, coming in and going at different points in the song. But the fact that his focus the most on tunes rather than effects make them my favorite to listen to, and the melodies frequently get stuck in my head. His songs tend to call in the categories of Happy Hardcore, industrial, or foreign cultural. Fave Songs: Delirium, Destiny, Take Me Back, Petrification, Exotica, and Who. Prophecy - One guy but collaberates with a group known as Prophetik Music. His songs are the best for imagination trips because it's more instrumental than synthesizes. A lot of his songs sound foreign. The Indian and Asian styles are what he seems to enjoy the most, but he has several songs that sound spacey as well. Music to close your eyes to. He remixes game songs as well. Fave Songs: Back to the Place I Once Knew, As Do I, Chekan Winter, Dark Piano, and Tribal Transcendency. For Great Justice! - His name happens to be a quote from All Your Base, but it used to be SpookGoblin. His songs tend to be around grindy and buzzy, the type my friend David (piratesheep on BZP, but he only has 1 post) refers to as "Liquid Stretch". But some songs can be very unique and musical as well. He has a skill of totally changing the song's feeling in the middle of it, going from chaos grindy to soft and beepy. Fave Songs: Save Me!, La Luna Caida, Secret Zombie Room, Parachute Stupid Clowns (in The Good Job Company), and One Last Battle. DJ RageVI - Goes by other monikers as well but they all include "Rage". He's the rave guy. His techno is the type you think about, the kind they play in lazertag and car commercials. Tons of synthesized instruments, and lots of what my friend calls "Techno Kazoos". Speedy and exciting. Rave, rave, and more rave. Fave Songs: Tetris Tailspin, UB3R R4VE, and For FFR. .selah - Guess who this is? Me! Unfortunately, my music exists only in my imagination and on my keyboard as of now. When my music is created, it will lean towards imaginary over rave, and - wait, why am I rambling about myself? I'm saving all this info for a totally new blog entry. You'll just have to wait. But I do like artists like Darude, Zombie Nation, BanYa, DM Ashura, Patt.22, etc. Just not as much as the above 5 guys. (o)

That's one of my favorite words. Etcetera. It's Latin, and I believe it's correctly written et cetera. Prolly means "and on" or something of the like. Man, I wish so much I could be taking Latin in high school. All they have is French, Spanish, and ASL (which no, is not a netronym to find out your personal info, but instead signifies American Sign Language). Exciting, no? Neverbethelessthan, it's still my favorite word. For me it takes the place of "Miscellaneous" and "Other", Miscellaneous being such a queer word (queer now and evermore being used in its original sense) whose abbreviation doesn't help much, and "other" just being a pathetically lame word that doesn't even qualify itself. How can anything be other, because something can't be something else, so what one is isn't another, and another is its own. Reread that sentence 14 times, it won't help. But the best part is is that Etcetera is an empty container. It can specify anything and never be full. Everything Else, it could be called. But guess what. Latin words beat "Everything Else" any day. But really, I think of it and it's like a hilly field, with hills. Dunno why that particular image, but that's the traditional picture usually in one's mind when one thinks of free and limitless. Really, hills have nothing to do in immediate relation with being free. Maybe one day long ago, on those hilly fields some battle was fought against some bad people and the good guys won and everyone was free and happy and limitless. And for some reason, we all remember it.. or something. Now I know what that picture popping into my head is. It's one of those generic Windows XP desktops. And, though it might not necesarily be the same photograph, the backdrop for the Claritin boxes. OSs and Allergies and Freedom and Etcetera. The resemblance is somewhere, I'm sure. (o) Herruy for actual bloglike blog entries! And for first ever second blog entry!
