On homework and tests

How on earth am I going to get this done I don't even know. I've had a lot of bad homework nights but the sheer slowness of understanding and summarizing history makes tonight take the cake.   AP/IB testing season is rough.   We're taking the AP tests at my church, though, so I think that entails some sort of home team advantage?

Religion and Spirituality

Because the difference between linguistics and religion is just so subtle, really, websites specializing in such things can't be expected to appreciate the finer differences.

Life Tip

Put a marshmallow on chocolate chips on a Ritz cracker. Microwave until the marshmallow engulfs everything else. Consume.   (Also semi-nostalgic MOC topic)

All Pokemon will be available in Gen VI

Apparently, in ORAS, by flying in the clouds on Lati@s you'll be able to encounter all previous (non-even[t]) legendary Pokemon as Gen VI natives. I approve.   Also Mega Pidgeot has some rockin' hair.

Super Metroid

So it actually snowed last night, so we get a second day of postponement of exams. Instead of extra studying I decided to try out this Metroid thing everyone's talking about. And... It's really good. The controls aren't as satisfying platforming-wise as they could be, but otherwise it's a really fun game. I haven't made much progress, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be accomplishing, but who needs goals? I just got some Super Missiles and that's enough for me.

Senior Quotes?

I have a couple hours before senior quotes are due. I'm thinking one of the following:   "Tingle Tingle, Kooloo-Limpah!" -Tingle   "Whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. However, that parting need not last forever... Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time... That is up to you." -Happy Mask Salesman   Thoughts? Suggestions? Better Zelda or Bionicle quotes?

Critique My Video Gaming

This is probably a dangerous thing to ask for, but here goes.   Summer break is coming, which bodes well for by gaming career. I'm trying to keep track of games I'm playing or want to play so as to better allocate time and funds. I've added a nifty content block to the right to keep tabs on these things.   Obviously it's a little Nintendo-centric, and even within Nintendo there are a few franchises which I've never tried. I need suggestions as to what games would best introduce me to franchis

They pulled me in

I told myself I wouldn't buy any Amiibos.   But I bought Link. Just for when I got Hyrule Warriors, you know? And Zelda, because he looks lonely. And I'll have to get Toon Link, Sheik and Ganondorf, just to complete the Zelda collection.   But that's it. No more.   Although PAC-Man is my main.   And there's not a lot of affordable Earthbound things on the market.   And... NO. NINTENDO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.

Books

Recommend me some. Anything--modern, 'classic,' ancient, whatever genre.   I tend gravitate towards fantasy/sci-fi, but I'm eager to expand that as well. but I've added a threadbare books sidebar that mostly just reflects my plans to reread some of my favorite fantasy/sci-fi series this summer, but I also want some new things.   Real talk, though. I feel guilty about how little I read nowadays. Up until a couple years ago I read in every spare moment. How much I read was a problem sometimes. B

tl;dr joints aren't everything

So I commented on this great post by Aanchir and realized, first, I wrote a lot, probably more text than my last couple months of BZP activity combined. Second, it would make a decent post here.   So.   I'm all nostalgic now. The Rahksi and Vahki were just so cool.

Studying

It's hard enough to stop distracting myself and get down to work on actual assignments, but studying? That's so vague and with such indeterminate benefits it's nigh impossible focus on.   In related news, this week is AP Psych and IB Physics test, next week is the symposium that's my one big extracurricular thing, and the week after are the (late) APUSH and AP Calc AB exams.   Then there's one week of regular school, in which I hope to complete Super Metroid, and on the 30th I'll get myself tha

Martha Nui

I don't recall what languages I ran this through, but most recent was German -> English.   It was all worth it, because Martha Nui.

Worst Magic Card

Stab wound.     It's by no means the most dangerous. It's not the most OP. But even if other cards completely destroy you, turning that one creature you got out into a time bomb with no way of getting rid of it is probably as infuriating as it gets. You can't even voluntarily sacrifice the creature or anything, you just hope you opponents takes out the creature it's on.

Gear functions?

GEAR FUNCTIONS!   Onya is a thing!   That Kanohi Akaku!   Dual-purpose weapons!   Pohatu has... Glider boomberangs? What?   BIONICLE AESTHETIC PIECES!   Trans colors!   Green and brown!   GEAR FUNCTIONS!   Onya looks good with purple!   Onya's giant shoulder/hammer parts!   What if Onua had actually been changed to Onya, a female Master to even out the genders?   GEAR FUNCTIONS!

Shiny v. Legendary

I just traded my only shiny- a Geodude that I randomly received in a trade- for a Terakion. Is this a good or bad trade? I'm really not up to snuff on my Pokemon values.

Wii U

I'm going to buy one, the question is, when?   I don't feel any urgency at all. The big driving reason to get one would be Zelda U, and that's presumably significantly in the future. I have other really great games to play in the meanwhile- I still have to finish Super Metroid, I want to play Super Mario World, I want to get Ocarina of Time 3D at some point (I don't care if that's before or after Wii U). I don't have ton of time for games right now, nor will I have as much time for games this
