Since I'm only in my second week at work, I'm not about to start spending all kinds of money. But just to test the waters, how many other people here are going to be picking up Pokemon Battle Revolution in the next few weeks? If a lot of my fellow BZPers get it around launch, I may go ahead and snag a copy (or at least try to) so I can get into PvP battling again after a very long hiatus.
Hopefully Omi's still trying to hold the BZPFL together. I've been training up a team that I think cou
In all this news of the new Titans, Mahri, and Barakki...one question is still going unanswered (at least the last time I checked it was). Are we getting a Titan combiner this year? It's going to be hard to top Kardas, which really was a huge achievement for set design, though I would've appreciated getting instructions for the individual sets as well. But LEGO should at least make sure not to skimp on the combiners.
It was the combiner models that got me into Bionicle in the first place, a
Okay, I admit that was a vauge Simpsons reference there. But I've been in a bit of a blah mood since moving in. I'm not entirely unpacked, and a little short on change until my job starts...so my free time's been spent trying to wrap up Diamond (144 seen...and Azelf, Uxie, and Dialga all caught!)
But a bit of good news to break up the ho-hummness, the campus lost and found has apparently located my missing racquetball racquet. One I lost more than a few months ago. Bit of a stroke of luck
Well, as you may have caught from my Wednesday entry last week...I've not only been busy with work and classes, but also with a certain game that came out. I'm talking, of course, about Xenosaga III. The final game in what turned into a trilogy on the PS2, "Also Sprach Zarathustra" brings the series to an explosive finale. For now anyway...
I have to say, it definately sets itself apart from it's predecessors. Apparently knowing that they were going to be ending the series at three instea
As of this entry, I am still very much unemployed. And by no means is it by choice. The big problem is my class schedule. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are fine...as I've only got the one class, but Tuesday and Thursday is a nightmare. With three classes over the course of 8 hours, there's no opening for me to squeeze in a day on the job. A lot of places would prefer that an employee work 5 days a week, and many of the places I've applied to are M-F/9-5 jobs.
I am fortunate however, to h
My initial excitement regarding the Wii has faded somewhat, mostly because some new news has come in. Super Paper Mario, which I had been looking forward to since its annoucement at E3, has been cancelled for the Nintendo Gamecube. Instead, it will be pushed onto the Wii. Which means Nintendo has effectively rewarded me for sticking with my Gamecube till the bitter end by taking away everything I had been waiting for.
Does this mean I'll still be selling my Cube to get a Wii? I don't think
I know this news is somewhat old, but Nintendo has annouced an official release date for the Nintendo Wii. November 19th, for $250. As most people figured, this price includes the Wii Sports collection and one controller. Pretty sweet news for all of us gamers. The only downer was that the Gamecube version of Zelda: Twilight Princess is being delayed until December 11th. The Wii version still releases on the same day as the console. Go figure, eh?
Recent developements (namely financial a
The latest in my parade of Wii related entires, but this is just a quick one. I've been trying to track down people's Wii Numbers, and decided this would be the easiest way.

If you want to add me, feel free. Just let me know so I can hopefully add you.
What started off as a throwaway comment almost lead to me getting elected to a school office yesterday. And with almost little effort on my part. Yesterday's key election issue was the decision a to whether or not students would allow the school to increase Student Fees to allow for the construction of a series of improved athletic facilities. When I logged in to vote, I noticed that one posistion (Communications Board) was being put up for vote with out any official candidate. The only choi
Last night at work, a guy came through the drive-thru (yeah, I'm in fast food) and asked the manager about a car sitting in the lot. He was interested in buying it. Turns out it was mine.
Now, I drive an '86 Acura. It's been through a lot, has about 96k worth of miles, and most likely won't survive much past me finishing college. Each time I turn the key I expect the engine to just fall out of the thing. It's that old.
So naturally, I get a bit curious when somebody asks about buying
I would've written the review last night, but the movie was about 2 hours long, plus an hour or so hanging out with my friends afterward meant I didn't get back home till about 4. In other words, I was VERY tired Friday. But now that I'm more awake, here's my spoiler-free review. And since this film is Rated R, I'll be careful about what I discuss.
Pros: Soundtrack - Watchmen has what has to be one of the best opening sequences I've seen in a long time. Excellent use of music, imagery, and
Made an emergency trip into Target today in a futile attempt to complete my Christmas shopping. After giving up on finding that one last gift, I decided to take a side trip and check out whatever toys hadn't been completely ravaged by fellow shoppers.
To my surprise, sitting on the shelf beside the hordese of Inika and few remaining Piraka were two Barakki (the red one...Mantak?) I have to say I was tempted to grab him, but there was no price tag and I've been a bit short on cash recently w
T-Hybrid is currently preparring to start both his classes and new job on Tuesday. As such, he has once again asked his guest writer to fill in for today's entry.
Whazzup, crowd! HGM here to do my best and get something written today. I suppose the best thing I could do is fill you in on the events of a few Fridays back. As you all remember, T-Boss stopped in to Snakes On A Plane. And because I'm such a hip happening dude I couldn't help but check out a screening myself.
So as you kno
All of my finals fell on Wednesday, and were all essay format. Thankfully the Media Ethics paper was assigned prior to finals week, so we only needed to turn the paper by deadline in order to get credit for the appearance. In the meantime, I'm working on finishing up my internship with a "local" software consulting firm. I'm also in the midst of a heated job hunt, which has seen me dressed up in a suit and tie more times than I'll ever care to be again. But let me tell you, as awkward as it
In my last entry, I mentioned that I had a fairly major purchase in the works. Well, everything worked out jsut fine in the last few days...which means I can officially annouce: I got a new car.
Over the winter, my poor little Acura started to show it's age. Requiring numerous jumps and eventually a whole new alternator and exhaust system, I thought maybe it could hold out for at least another year. Well, that was not the case. Over the past month, it's started to have problems getting
Has it been a week? Sorry all! Things have been a combination of busy, weird, and interesting. In personal news, I had my first "formal" interview with an insurance agency in southern Minnesota. It's for an IT posistion, and we both seem very excitied to get involved with the other's life.
Meanwhile, some of you may have heard some rumblings about a new console or two that were coming out around this time. Weighstation Free or something like that, and then this other one. The Wyy? Need
Getting an early jump on the weekend tonight by going to the Spiderman 3 midnight showing (12:05 technically). Only the third midnight release I've gone to (Matrix Revolutions and Goblet of Fire being the previous two). I plan on checking out Pirates 3 when it comes out at the end of May too.
Pokemon's been on the back burner lately, 40 hours in the first week...and only about an hour and a half since. Projects all over the place with finals right around the corner. But I have a feeling W
Over Christmas Break, Nintendo made five classic games available for the Wii's Virtual Console. One of those was the legendary Super Mario Bros for the NES. I had some extra points left over from my purchase of Mario 64, so I decided to pick up SMB for the reasonable price of $5.
The last time I played this was probably back in 96 or so, shortly before my family made the uneducated decision to sell our NES. Whatever the case, I never beat it. Not really for any lack of trying, but because
I'll be the first to admit this is less of a longshot than my previous suggestions:
The Miis
Franchise: Nintendo Wii
First Appearance: Mii Channel (Wii)
Why?: This is about as close to a create-a-character as we're ever going to get in Smash Bros. The introduction of the Miis brought a personal touch to the Nintendo Wii. Though not quite as open to customization as most standard CaC's, the Mii would allow the user to put a face with their Smash profile. Nintendo has already "reveale
Awww heck. I got so busy at work that i didn't get a chance this year to do my yearly format change. Sorry all. Any good April Fools Day antics that you guys can report back on? Ones that are BZP appropriate of course. There was one getting passed around at work that Google did that was pretty funny.
American League Divison Series Game 3:
Oakland A's 8 vs. Minnesota Twins 3
As a Twins fan, I've got to take this time to apologize for anybody that tuned into ESPN the last few days expecting to see some baseball. Instead, you were treated to an embarrasing display of the kind of game that the Twins played back in April and May. The league's best-hitter...with only two hits in the series. One of the leading MVP candidates...bobbles an easy grounder which ended up costing them three runs.
I'm writing this entry now, because my Tuesday is going to be hectic, and if you notice the time...I'm guessing my Monday is going to rank up there as well. Moving day is tomorrow, with about three weeks until classes start. That leaves me less than a month to hunt down something that produces income before I get wrapped up in classes during the week.
Today is going to be spent packing, saying my good-byes, and making sure I don't have any loose ends back at home. Loose ends that include th
First off, hope you enjoyed the pallette swap. I had such a blast putting it together that I may just pop back and forth between the two from time to time. I've archived the images for anybody who may have missed it. So fear not, the Haven is still rightfully in my possession, and ViceGreymon is still gainfully employed!
But that's not what today's entry is about. Oh no siree. Today we're gonna talk baseball! The Twins are now two games in to their 162 game schedule. Thanks to my "prov
All-Star Rosters annouced, Justin Morneau...Torii Hunter...Johan Santana. None of them starters, but that's still a good showing. Not to mention Pat Neshek is in the Final Vote.
Justin Morneau has the honor of being the only first-baseman representing the American League. David Ortiz's 7 starts (as great he is offensively) do not qualify. Kevin Youkilis is the Red Sox 1B, and the fact they listed Ortiz instead is doing him a disservice.
No Mauer, but that's alright. Joe had an injury
When we last left our hero, he was Web-less. With over $200 worth of internet devices and nothing to connect to, he had lost all hope and direction.
Then that fateful Monday came. With a desperate trip to the local offices of his "new" provider of Interweb, he learned that his place of residence wasn't covered. News of this lie angered him greatly. Wasting no time, our beloved hero swept up the pieces of connectivity and returned them to their boxes. They would be returned to the Bestest
