Sibling Rivalry

My only sibling may have a severe mental and intellectual disability, but that doesn't mean sibling rivalry does not exist in our family.   My brother has a cunning that rivals or even outdoes mine! He knows full well how to take advantage of his disability, and the fact that no-one will think much of him because of it, and uses it to make my life a misery.   This afternoon he went into my room and took out some of my Pokemon DVDs, my Pokemon Battle Revolution game, a couple of Pokemon books, an

Brilliant Day Yesterday

I just noticed we can add "entry images". I might have to do that later so I have proof.   So, yesterday I went on yet another meetup with some friends from my Pokémon family, to attend a Trading Card Game Battle Roads in Geelong. I had to travel from one end of Port Phillip Bay to the other, so I got up very early.   On the way to the station I saw a possum! Even though I live in Australia, possums are nonetheless a very rare sight, especially in my area!   When I got to Southern Cross station,

My Opinion On Pikmin 3

Pros: stays true to the original, more captain interaction, graphics are improved but still true to tradition, new Pikmin species   Cons: Rock Pikmin? :/ They'll take some getting used to.   What else I'd like to see: more Pikmin species (particularly those pink flying ones on the title card, and what the parastiic Pikmin that infected Bulborbs in Pikmin 2 really look like), what happened to Olimar (he's not one of the pklayable captains in Pikmin 3), what happened to Louie, the President's real

Re. A Short Message

I'm not going to name names, but are you sure the member who made the thread mentioned in this entry's title wasn't hacked?   I wanted to ask the member himself, but he appears to have been suspended, and I cannot access his page at all.

I Have An Internet Addiction

I recently found that I literally have an addiction to the Internet. I've heard that such an addiction is as bad as various other well-known addictions (none of which can be mentioned here), and from my experience I say it's true.   My addiction has been having an effect on my entire life, from my social life, to my study life, to my financial life, to my personal life and even my overall work ethic! In other words, my addiction has made me lazy.   My addiction started two years ago, with online

Copycat!

I was just in the new "Who would win?" thread, and I was just about to post when I noticed something in the Active Members list. From what I had seen it looked like my name was on the list twice! So I went back and had a look, and noticed the name "Makuta Oz" at the end of the list. Naturally curious, I clicked on his name, and found that he was a New Member! Perhaps he was a fan of mine, and joined because of me? Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was recently in the Member Spotl

Trains And Careers

There are still a few train trips I plan to take at some point this year, which I could try and do during the coming TAFE holidays. I plan to travel up the Upfield line and visit Macaulay station, which is, correct me if I'm wrong, an underground station. I also plan to visit Box Hill for the same reason, and travel down the Alamein and Glen Waverly lines on the same day. I also plan to travel up to Shepparton via a diesel train.   I'm also considering getting a job at V/Line, the company in cha

I Win Pikmin 2!

I went through the Hole of Heroes and was able to get all but one treasure. The one treasure was held by a Man-at-Legs, which was a pain in the neck to fight because there was so much water on the field. I was forced to skip it and keep going.   The final boss, the Raging Long Legs, was easier and more fun to beat. After I beat it and took its treasure, I returned the next day (Pikmin time) with 100 blue Pikmin and returned to the floor with the Man-at-Legs. Even then it was hard to beat, but EV

Storm Damage Report

In my last entry that no-one read, I stated that a massive storm was about to hit. That storm ended up being pretty much the worst I've seen, comparable only with Cyclone Pancho at the Cuboree of 2008. Hail the size of marbles fell, and they fell so hard that I was afraid they'd break windows! The bottom of the house almost got flooded, as with the front yard. One of my smoke detectors also began leaking, apparently through a crack in a roof tile above it, so I was forced to take it down and dis

That Awkward Moment When...

...you go on a wiki to look for something, get distracted by something on the main page, and then completely forget why you went on the wiki in the first place!

In A Startling Twist Of Events...

Metro, a company in charge of electric trains within the Melbourne metropolitan area, has begun hiring trainee train drivers!   Now I'm torn between applying for this position, and sticking with my conductor role at V/Line! What if I apply for this, and then get both!? I'm still studying a dual award, so it's gonna be hard to juggle 2 jobs and 2 courses at the same time!

Rahkshi Request

Could someone please post me a picture of a Stars Rahkshi's head/back on a normal, unmodified 2003 Rahkshi set?   Posting it here for all to see would be best.

Not The Best Diesel Trip :(

So, I bought a ticket at Southern Cross and asked about getting a job at V/Line, and the rep just said to go to the V/Line website, which I had already tried. I should've asked if there were any other ways to apply, other than via the website, especially starting at the bottom. I then waited for an hour and a half for the train to leave, during which time I watched the XPT CountryLink train leave for Sydney.   The diesel I went on was an N-class diesel with N-class carriages (see pic below).

Pokemon Movie

I went to Chadstone Shopping Centre today and watched Pokemon White: Victini & Zekrom in Hoyts with some friends from that no-longer-mentionable Pokemon group. The movie was OK (despite having Scraggy ), but the video and audio was out of sync! Their lips would start moving just before they started talking! At least that annoying "Let's go!" from the Hoenn-Sinoh sagas is gone.   Later, I went shopping with a friend and got... STOP THE PRESS... an HF set!!!!! I also got a few Pokemon cards

My theories on Ash Ketchum

An age-old debate exists as to exactly how old Ash Ketchum of the Pokémon Anime is. I've been watching the first 11 and a half seasons of the Anime that I have on DVD, and observing events of the rest of the Anime from afar. This is what I found: The Pokémon Anime airs once a week, and has ever since it began. During the early stages, time was mentioned as having gone at the same rate as it does in real life. For example, in the episode The School Of Hard Knocks (episode 9, aired May 27 1997, n

Bionicle 2015: My Verdict

Having seen what little I can from NYCC (being unable to go because I'm Australian and being limited in what I can see because I was at TAFE all day today), I have formed more of an opinion and verdict of Bionicle 2015. Obviously there's a lot I still don't know, but this is what I can make of Bionicle 2015 thus far:   Toa Gali, Onua (or Onya according to the website), Lewa, Tahu, Pohatu and Kopaka have been confirmed to still be Toa. However, Lewa seems to have control over both air AND plant l

I'm just gonna sit back...

...and watch every Bionicle fansite on the Internet, including my own, go into meltdown.   I've gained a keen interest in watching other people's natural reactions to events of all sorts, which I think stemmed from my interest in Teridax. But now I'm watching everyone's excitement over Bionicle returning.   BTW, although I know Bionicle's coming back thanks to other anonymous sources, I still await an official announcement from LEGO before I declare my Bring Back Bionicle campaign won.

Sopa

So what is this SOPA and how will it affect BZPower, deviantArt and other major sites?
