Ask Me ANYTHING Week - Day 7

I don't think I've ever taken part in this blogging cliche. So it's about time I did!   So go on. All week, I want people to be asking me questions. About absolutely anything.   I'd prefer them posted here, but go ahead and PM me too if you want to stay anonymous. I'll probably post the answers here - maintaining anonymity - unless they're not appropriate/you don't want me to.   So ask away!   ~|ET|~   ALRIGHTY! It's day SEVEN! I've gotten a good batch of questions so far, but something ap

YOUR Opinion: Best and Worst Video Games of 2012

Hey guys! So I'm being interviewed in a few days about the Best and Worst Video Games of 2012 (no idea why the school newspaper's doing an article on that, but no complaints here). So I'm reaching out to gauge opinions.   So, to YOU, what would you rank as the BEST and WORST video games that were released this year? You can have multiple games under each category, I'm just looking to see what you all consider the top and bottom.   ~|ET|~

Xbox One: Redemption

So Microsoft just retracted its 24-hour check-in and limited game sharing policies* that had make many fans around the globe - myself included - deride and reconsider sticking with the next generation Xbox console.   So to make it clear: You do NOT have to be online every 24-hours You CAN sell your games at your discretion I'm pretty much back on board, even at $100 more than the PS4. I honestly considered changing because of these restrictions and how arrogant Microsoft's execs were being abo

Call for Friend Codes

Now that I'm home for the week and can get online on my 3DS (which I'm working on rectifying at school as I plan on getting a router for my dorm while home), let's get to adding friend codes! For Pokémon mostly of course.   Mine's 3566-2711-5348. Let me know yours and I'll add you back.   ~|ET|~   P.S. If you see this, Blade, I do need yours again as I appear to have lost it...

New Display Name Poll!

So I've been able to change my name back from Xemnas for a while now. But 1. I like Xemnas... and 2. I can't decide what to go with. D:   I've always been Electric Turahk here. But everywhere else I've started going by Ektris.   So I want your help deciding what to be! Just vote here to decide. Electric Turahk Ektris ET* Other (please specify) *If that's too short - I'm not sure - methinks we can find some derivation of it that'll be long enough.   ~|ET|~

Why USPS is Bankrupt

Because of service like this:     The boxes were worse; was even more caved when my sister picked it up from outside. Where it had been sitting who knows how long, because they never even tried ringing the door bell or notifying us anything was here. My sister had been up since 7 AM and had no clue it was here. A small correction: Apparently she did know, but forgot about it for a few hours. >_< Nonetheless, we didn't have to sign for it or anything. It was just dropped off.   The content

Taking New Laptop Suggestions

So I still haven't heard back from the repair shop, but my friends and I have all deduced separately that it was likely a motherboard issue that killed my laptop. (They also all admonished me for not going to the free computer help desk in the library that they work at, but having never had need to go there didn't think of it. Stupid, stupid, stupid me... )   So all things considered it'll probably be cheaper just to buy a new one.   My parents seem pretty darn adamant about me getting a Dell

E3 The Games: Nintendo (Day Two)

Gonna get this out right away:   MEGA MAAAAAAAN!!!   That is AWESOME news! And he looks like such a versatile character. I can't wait to play as him. Only have plans for the 3DS version as of now, though.   But then they almost killed it all with the Wii Fit trainer! xP I know joke characters are a thing, but that seems just a lotbit too silly for me. Almost killed the Mega Man hype.   Just kidding, can't knock that down.   Then of course Animal Crossing villager... yay?   So yeah, really excit

[Updated] Hip Action Figures of the Week: More Pokemon!

So there's a toy show going on in Japan for Tamashii Nations. And they're showing off their new D-Arts.   I showed you Mewtwo already. Well now here's Charizard!     Blastoise and Venusaur are above them (and you can even see their feet), but no pics yet.   They also apparently have a Pikachu in there somewhere.   And on a related note, there's also apparently a ton of new Digimon D-Arts somewhere. My wallet is going to despise me next year...   Update:   And here they are! Venusaur and Bl

IBM @ Austin

Hey everyone... I've been pretty silent here lately but have been checking in daily still. Just not a whole lot to say I guess.   I have been holding onto one thing though...   In March I received and accepted my first job offer - as a software developer for IBM in Austin, Texas!   I'm super excited to have such an opportunity given to me. Finally all of my work paid off... Even if I still haven't received anything else and I do feel somewhat pushed into a corner when it comes to my options...

Hip Action Figure of the Day: MEWTWO!

So some of you may have noticed me posting pictures in my haul threads of some Digimon figures. They're from a line called "D-Arts," which is all about highly-poseable, highly-accurate, highly-detailed action figures from games. The most popular sub-line right now is for Megaman, but they also have Persona characters and more in the line.   We haven't heard anything on the Digimon in a while, which is where my interest lies. But today, we may have gotten even better news...   They're branchin

Hey Music People!

I need help. I've got a paper to write and have no idea what kind of genre of music to even look at to find something that will work... Any advice from those of you more versed in music than I? TLDR version: 1. What does the text [lyrics] mean? 2. How does the music support the text?   ~|ET|~

Muaka & Kane-Ra

So two auctions on eBay both end in a little over a day, and have Muaka & Kane-Ra going for pretty darn cheap (EDIT: $30 for both in one lot, $10 for both for another at the moment - probably should've just said that to begin with ).... I'm tempted to get in on at least one. Any of you out there think it's worth it?   ~|ET|~

BZPcraft Idea: Tower of Pimps

I know what the next BZPCraft needs to be.   The Tower of Pimps!     I know it doesn't seem terribly exciting, but having been watching all of the RoosterTeeth Minecraft Let's Plays, it seems like it could work perfectly well with our group. It'd be a nice, simple, easy one too. A good chance of pace.   ~|ET|~

The Green One

Well, I've recently acquired a certain green Titan set... One that gave me some fame for quite a while... But I'm not going to tell you who it is.   And if all goes well, I'll be reviewing him. But even if I don't, I'll share my opinion in the official review topic. I want to get my revised opinion on this guy out somewhere. (EDIT: Oh, and this blog doesn't count. )

Minecraft Find of a Lifetime

It started with a ravine. In that ravine, mossy stone bricks. Connected to those mossy stone bricks, a fortress.   My first naturally-discovered fortress - and by pure accident.   Within that fortress, a library. Within the library, a chest. Within the chest...     FOUR Silk Touch enchanted books! There was a fifth such book outside the portal room and an Infinity book in another chest!   The catch?   I was playing a PvP game and as such they were all (sans Infinity) useless.   ~|ET|~
