D&D Monopoly

· Banker = DM.     · Speed determines what kind of dice you roll for advancement. You may choose to role a die equivalent to your speed in squares or any lower die. For example, 40 ft. speed means you can role a d8, d6, d4, d3, d2, or d1. · Prices may vary. Prices are liable to go up or down by 50% based on your interactions with the NPC owner. You may try diplomacy, intimidation, bluffing, disguise, etc., just keep the interactions short. · Community Chest gives you a random he

The good news

is that, now that Zelda Wii U has been delayed with no good release date, there's less chance of it interfering with any college exams.

Smearglelocke #3: Splash

Log Entry 3:   No no nonononono   What   It was going so well   Things stared out OK. Sure, I accidentally killed my first encounter on Route 6, and then accidentally killed the Snorlax of Route 7, but I had an excess of Smeargles anyway, right?   And Route 7 was fun! The riverside, the artists, the Smeargle-obsessed NPCs, hilarious 4-Smeargle double battles, great moves to sketch. Even a field move! I had despaired of ever learning Rock Smash, since Smeargle can't learn TMs or HMs.   Connec

Smearglelocke #2: Reserves and Mistakes

Playing Pokemon was, tragically, not a priority for this last week. But there has been progress!   New Smeargle's names are in bold, as are new moves.   Log Entry 2:   I'm realizing now that perhaps the greatest challenge of this Nuzlocke will be finding good moves to Sketch. They're there, I know, but I'm not going to use outside resources to plan out movesets, save for my memories of previous XY runthroughs. (Get hype for someone to sketch Oblivion Wing!) No, I'm finding moves the hard way.

Calculus

For my big math paper, my IB IA, I decided to do a calculus project. Because statistics projects are too mainstream.   I decided to do something Lego-related, and optimized the cost of making a rectangular prism and a cylinder. Turns out, Lego has width and makes everything hard.   The upshot is that I got to cite BrickLink in a scholarly essay.

Smearglelocke #1: FORGET NUZLOCKE

I'm sure someone's done it before, but I'm ditching my Nuzlocke in favor of a more interesting Smearglelocke of my own design.   Nuzlocke rules, but every time I catch a Pokemon, I must immediately trade it for a level 10 or below Smeargle.   Smeargle only learns Sketch. Once Smeargle uses Sketch to copy a move, he only learns Sketch again every ten levels. So, unless I make it to the move relearner with super low-level 'mons, no one on my team will even know four moves until level 31.   These a

Nuzlocke Rules

A couple of Youtubers I like are doing Nuzlockes, which really made me want to do another one with Pokemon Y. This meant spending most of today getting Zygarde, Mewtwo, and Articuno on my previous Pokemon Y Nuzlocke file to transfer to Omega Ruby. And while I was at it, I spend hours trading items and 'mons over to Ruby, so I wouldn't have to collect the Mega Stones again or save up battle points for items. Luckily I could borrow my sister's 3DS to do this.   Finally, it's time to start. Sin

It's the little things.

I've been reading the comic Frazz from the beginning in between homework assignments. Frazz tends to wear different graphic tees, he finally wore one with a Triforce. Or a delta symbol, or something. I'm going to assume the cartoonist is awesome and it's a triforce.   What am I doing with my time.

So close!

60 coins from Platinum in Club Nintendo. I'm pretty far from any worthwhile physical prizes, which makes me really sad. I was really hoping that my backlog of Club Nintendo points would net me that Majora's Mask Jigsaw Puzzle or some posters. Turns out that several of the cards have expired. I guess I can get a downloadable title or two? Nothing really jumps out at me.

Labyrinthitis

The doctor says it will just go away on its own. Just wait two days to four weeks.   Annoying and offsetting, but it could be worse and it sounds like something out of a fantasy universe.

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.

Idea

Nintendo should make Toad compatible with SSB4 like all of the other Amiibo. Tapping the Amiibo would unlock a Peach figure player... Except the only move she knows is her neutral special.

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?

On Bards

So I'm Dungeon Master for a D&D group now. (Some people wanted to join, so our old DM lead their group, and I, having conveniently and spectacularly died, DM'd our old group.)   Our bard summoned a cello above a paladin. The paladin succeeded in his reflex save, and the cello slammed into the cold hard floor of the temple, shattering. The party proceeds to blow up the temple.   Five minutes later, all action halts as we all realize that none of us made a "drop the bass" joke.

I knew I should've saved that money

Metroid Prime trilogy on the eShop? Yes please! And half-off for the first week, too, so not getting it isn't even an option. I thought I was going to have to troll eBay for an affordable one.   MORE IMPORTANTLY let's all appreciate the AWESOMENESS of THIS:     OK SO MAYBE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PURPLE   BUT I'LL TAKE IT   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   My wallet shall meet a terrible fate very soon.

Recent Experiences, Summarized

Christmas was amazing. Chrono Trigger was absolutely fantastic. Shovel Knight is pretty amazing. Tahu the 2nd and Kopaka the 2nd are both really, really great. I am super hyped for the Nintendo Direct tomorrow morning. If school is out because of icy weather then I'll catch it live, otherwise I won't get to see it until late tomorrow night. PLEASE give us some Zelda info! Anything!

Dear College Board

Please stop telling me to take the SAT again. I took it once, I am happy with my score. I realize that many students score better if they take it again. You can stop sending that email over and over. I am also smart enough to realize that, statistically, about 50% of students would do better their second time, even if they didn't get any better at math and writing and everything. So you can see how your emails are pointless. And should stop.
