Initial thoughts on Destiny

The gameplay is tight and fantastic. The story... not so much.   The problem seems to be that it was trying to make you the hero, but it couldn't because than the story makes no sense. Not to mention that guardians are made out be ​literally unkillable. Which generates a heck of a lot more issues. And add that to the fact that nothing the story says you do can possibly have any effect on the actual game, even if it should.   But yeah. I'm not dissapointed, but the story was less then I was hopin

The End of Bionicle. Again.

I'm honestly not surprised. I liked some of the 2015 sets and bought some of them, but the 2016 sets where mostly not to my liking. I don't even know what's happened in the story. I was a little sad about the news but I heard of some of the situations with the sets being not released in certain regions so I'm not surprised.   If nothing else the '15 Gali set was phenomenal so I have that to remember it by.

NES classic

This looks really cool, it has a pretty good selection of games, is pretty cheap, all things considered and the controller is cool. But I feel it accentuates just how expensive the games are to obtain on Nintendo's other hardware. At $5 a pop it would cost $150 to buy them all, assuming they're all available. I understand it took work creating the emulator and putting everything together, but that is one heck of a price difference.   And since it is so cheap, I bet it's going to be a long time b

Bus Strike

Uuuuuuuugggghhhh.   There are currently 5 bus routes running in my city.   There are usually like 30. Probably more. I could count them if I wanted to. But now 5 of them are running, on a Sunday schedule, by people they had to pull from a differant city. And there is no schedule for sundays until whenever there is again, which predictions say could be a month from now.   This is going to be fun.   It's a good thing nobody uses the bus.   That last part was sarcasm, if you didn't catch on.

Anyone here play Metal Gear Rising?

I'm stuck on the back to back battles with Mistral and jet-stream Sam.   I can take Mistral down pretty easily with little damage to my health bar and no nanopastes wasted, but I just can't figure out the other guy. Am I supposed to be able to parry all of his attacks? Because he attacks, I parry he attacks again, I can't parry then he starts a combo and I'm stunned and can't do anything about it. (The stunned mechanic is the absolute worst) I can get him down to between 10% and 20% and then he

It's That Time of Year Again...

Remember everyone, daylight savings time starts tomorrow!   Unless you live in Arizona, then time zones and times in general stop making sense until it ends.   And this benefits us... Somehow...   I'm also making it my mission to start posting this comic on a yearly basis.

Bastion

Wow. I thought Transistor was great. But then I finish this game. Wow.   Thoughts, massive spoilers, click and read at your own risk:(If you ever want to play this game, don't click it, I foolishly browsed Transistor's workshop page and all it takes is one person who doesn't know what a spoiler tag is to ruin the ending.)         I've also had Zia's song stuck in my head most of the day.

The call center life

What have I gotten myself into.   I mean, the people that work there are cool, and generally speaking taking calls isn't that bad.   But man. There is so much misinformation. Like, no, sir, I can't upgrade you a month early. I don't actually have that power. I'm sorry the person you called lied to you. But I actually cannot do that for you.   No. Ma'am. I don't know why your refund didn't get processed. I Realize they said that, but this is what actually happened. I can fill it out for you right

Terraria on 3DS

So apparently there is now a digital version of Terraria on 3DS. which I had no idea was happening but here we are.   For reasons I do not understand, physical versions are coming for both the Wii U and the 3DS, but the 3DS version is priced at $20 for the digital version, while the physical version is $30, and it's releasing the end of February.   I understand charging more for a physical version, but why more then 3 months after the digital version?

My job finding adventure

So I got a call from sonic asking me for an interview. Shortly after the interview I was notified that I did indeed get the job and I needed to fill out some paperwork to finish the process.   This was something like a month ago. I've called them several times, filled out another application, called some more and still gotten nothing.   But apparently they're low on available workers because they've done more interviews and those people are now being called in to fill out the paperwork.   So ye

PSA For pokemon players

According to their facebook page there is an event for a pokeball pattern Vivillion. I have yet to grab it but I intend to shortly.   Also we're finally getting some events. What is this, like, the fourth one?

Hold up

So. From an article I read Nintendo won't be releasing DLC because people will complain that they didn't pay for a complete experience.   So the solution is to lock away the only DLC charecter mentioned by putting it behind the pretty massive Paywall of another game.   But at least nobody can say they didn't get a complete game. Because I can't pay for the extra content. That's apperantly better. I guess.   Nice.   Hopefully this is just a flurry of misinformation and Nintendo isn't that bad at

Harmony of Heroes

Get it together Pima

So a solid 4 days before the date of my first class, and the day the semester starts, I am being informed via email that the book I rented from amazon (As a new copy was $50 more then the class and used was a bit lower) is now no longer being used in the class. Rather they are telling me that I need to purchase a digital version of the book as it's cheaper or something.   You can't possibly imagine my excitement.   Edit: It's roughly double the price. Woo.

Figma Lucina

Such a gorgeous figure. I wanted to take more pictures but I really like that pose. (On a side note my new phones camera is absolutely great and I don't know why everyone complains about it.)

Writing, this is not

I'm losing it. I'm finally losing it. I thought college would be better. But it's not, it's really not. I'm overloaded with homework and I have to submit an essay in less than three hours and I'm just sitting here staring at a blank screen watching the little blinky thingy blink. I just can't do it. I can't. We have to write a 400 word paper on something I could describe within less than a paragraph. And my writing class is worse. I liked the hero's myth. Honestly, I did. But I just can't do thi

Let's talk Legend of Korra.

​WARNING: THIS ENTRY WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CONTAIN MAJOR PLOT AND ENDING DETAILS OF THE LAST 4 EPISODES. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.               So after watching the season finale and reading some complaints, I started thinking. Now before we go on I'd like to make it clear that I enjoyed it overall. But the final battle seemed.......... .. Off, I guess. Now, before the final episode I was quite excited for the season finale. I thought the build-up was fantastic and left room for a gigantic climax. A

Oot: Clear!

I finally beat it. I was going to try to 100% it, but I think I accidentally overwrote it when starting the master quest. Whoops.   On to Majoras Mask!   Edit: Question: If Ganondorf can use the triforce of courage to change into a gigantic boar, why can't Zelda use the triforce of wisdom to realize she can throw the sword that is literally three feet from her into the ring.

Using DS3 Controller on PC?

Anyone here have any experience using a Dualshock 3 controller on PC with Steam? What's the best course of action?   I'm halfway decent with hardware issues, but this is a software issue so my solution of wanting to chuck the controller to the other side of the room probably won't help.

I'm bad at social things

So once a week I take the bus to my college for class. up until this point I've pretty much kept to myself. This probably doesn't surprise anyone who knows me. As it's rather obvious. But on my way to class There was a guy playing smash bros on a 3DS. I wanted to say something, maybe get a battle going. But instead I broke mine out and hoped he would notice. He did, and he proceeded to destroy me in the game, no surprise there. But it was fun.   So after that I'm wondering why I didn't just say

On getting a job

So, after a search that was far too long, I've finally, almost employed, and by almost I mean I just need to actually start.   But of course, because nothing can be that simple, I have to sort out some transportation related issues. For one, rather then having me at the call center that is literally across the street (Give or take a half mile) They have me working at one that's by the local mall. Okay, no big deal, I'll just take the bus, except my shift ends half an hour after all the routes ar

ARCHERY

So, I finally convinced a friend of mine to go shooting with me. So I FINALLY get To test my new bow and my new arrows for my old bow. And with some quick calculations I think they're long enough. But barring actually pulling it back with an arrow I can't tell for sure.   And than there's the fact that I can't go to the range on a regular basis. I mean, even if I CAN bring it on a city bus, I'm not going to. That just seems like a terrible idea. But it might be fun just to see the looks on peopl
