I don't think it's too well-known that I work at McDonald's. Cuz, like, I do. And I'm heading to work pretty soon. And I'm turning in my leave of absence paperwork today. I don't know why, but I'm actually really sad about it... I know I'm welcomed back whenever I have a break and next summer of course, but still... I made some friends there I didn't expect to (and tragically lost one last year), and even though there are some pretty bad days, I still enjoy it there. Just another side effect
Still need to wrap this series up, and I decided I wanted there to be at least 10 entries. With the last one picked from the start, I had quite a few to pick from still. (The rest of which will be showing up in their own leftovers entry.) Then I realized after scrolling my list up, that another of the very first games I played this year was probably notable enough to talk about. Grand Theft Auto is kind of a big deal, right? Grand Theft Auto V was my first GTA game. I think I understand the hy
Happy new year everybody! I don't really feel like doing a year-in-review deal right now (but I did do a small write up on Tokunation about my best and worst toys of the year, so maybe I'll post that here tomorrow as something haha). This year had a lot of downs. I've lost connections to family, I've had financial issues, and zero luck finding anything to do with my life after college... But the time spent with the family that still cares, spending yet another year with the love of my life,
More from the backlog first. Here we have Kamen Rider Blade, who is easily one of the best Figuarts Riders to be released. And some new stuff: The first of the fruit Riders have arrived! These guys simply look phenomenal and I love them. I only have Ryugen preordered so am kicking myself for not getting in on some of the exclusives already... [but that was mostly because I didn't have an address to ship them to and didn't want to be annoying with a middleman trying to change tha
Hellooooo everybody! And welcome back to ET plays Pokémon! This time, we bring you Omega Ruby! I didn't play a whole lot today - because I'm flying out for a week tomorrow so will have a lot of time to play en route and wanted to play my console games tonight heh. I basically spent most of the day fretting over which starter to choose and after deciding, soft resetting. Lots and lots of that. And my choice my come as a surprise... Because I, the "Always. Pick. Fire. ALWAYS" guy picked... Tr
What's the point of having the only day off from classes (Spring break aside) be during the second week? Every semester, Penn State. Every semester. Why? We don't need a break yet. We really, really don't. Give us one later, it would be so much more welcome. *sigh* It'll never happen, of course. Well, back I go to playing Skyrim instead of doing homework. Because that's what Monday's for. ~|ET|~
My team's not playing, I dislike both teams that are, and no "safe" (ie nowhere that won't be filled with overzealous college students who like to drink way too much while I don't care to even be in its presence) place to get some free food and at least have a good time socializing. So I'll sit in my dorm facing away from the TV doing homework while my roommate watches it and yet still get mad with him when the Patriots do something good. In summary: Productive night > Lame Bowl. ~|ET|~
Got an excellent amount of time in today during my air travel! I've now acquired two badges and even won my first contest - cool, with Hashirama. On a related note, I am currently soft resetting for a good Cosplay Pikachu heh. I'm definitely not going to be using it in my team, but it might be fun to train up later. What won't be fun is having a big gap in my Living Dex now where the other costumes will go... And the massive amount of box shifting that is going to involve uuuugh. Team right
When will they ever figure out that differently sized boxes do exist? Especially small ones? It's like all stores in Japan that ship internationally don't realize that you can use more than three (or so) sized boxes. This is the package I just received from HobbyLink Japan. What you see on top of the box is literally all that was in there. Granted, I didn't even know Bandai was sending out these faces for everything that ordered the figure. Which is awesome, since every single pi
I don't know what to do with my Black Series stuff now (time to decide I guess), but oh my goodness these look great. The Stormtroopers and Vader also resurfaced and will be out next year and can't wait for them. Supposedly also a Ben Kenobi and Maul, among maybe others, only display. But all in "no pictures" areas so... will have to wait and see if anything else comes out. ~|ET|~
Alrighty, here it is! The first half of my collection update. They're not the best pictures, just really aiming to highlight differences and growth. Had a few disasters in the rearrangement of shelves thanks to some poor decisions I'll touch more on in the next part, but thankfully nothing is broken and I'm happy with the end result. Star Wars The Star Wars shelves have actually grown the least, I believe. More books supplanted space that was occupied by movies, but figures... not so much.

Man, there sure have been an awful lot of blog entries about it lately... It's almost as if it were coming up soon or something. Well, I hope you guys that go have a lot of fun. I was supposed to go this year. When my uncle visited last month he mentioned how he and my cousin went last year (gee, wish they had mentioned that while I was staying with them a few days last summer. I'd have totally come back then) and were going again this year. I told him how long I'd wanted to go and he (I b
Well, it does appear as if I won't actually be doing any work outside today. Sans fixing the rope on the flagpole. But beside that, nothing. We came to the conclusion on Wednesday that I'd just be in the way because there'd be nothing for me to do. And that's still true today. And though I'm glad I'm evading work, I also want to help out... Ah well. Maybe something will come up tomorrow or Sunday. ---- Heh. I'm goin' to make the most of this blog... But to anyone actually reading thi
So a lot of people seem to be posting stuff about what they did in the downtime... I kept on collecting. Rather, I started collecting against, since 2009/most of 2010 killed my collecting interest in BIONICLE. I've been working on finishing my BIONICLE collection and have reentered the world of Transformers. Man, Classics ones are expensive, but that's what I'm working on. I also got interested in Kamen Rider, so wouldn't be surprised if I buy a few S.H. Figuarts of my favorite Riders s
So that was LOADS of fun! Not sure how I feel about Halo 4 multiplayer yet really, since I was up against some good people, but it's definitely going to be a big change. And will take some getting used to. And six copies given away?? Yeah that was crazy. Can't wait to get my copy tomorrow now. ~|ET|~
Look at it! Look at it! I never expected anything like this. I didn't see it coming at all. I'm interested in learning how much he'll actually be able to move... That'll be really important. But as it is, I'm thoroughly impressed. And saving money now. And coming up with a way to smuggle him back home/hope my parents finally accept that at 21 (which I'll be when it comes out), so long as I'm being responsible with my money, I can be into what I want. But yeah. Metroplex!! ~|ET|~
Transformers Combiner Wars Devastator S.H. Figuarts 1-Up Mushroom Star Wars Black Series First Order Stormtrooper Nendoroid Cynthia w/Garchomp Sort of a light month, with some heavy hitters (mostly because of RTX, kept myself from going out and buying new BIONICLE again... Which reminds me, I never posted an entry with my pictures. Mostly because it seemed they weren't getting much attention...) First of all, I bought a 1-Up Mushroom. I hate that I had to, but it was probably the best deal
Continued my slow crawl through this game today by grinding. Lots and lots of slow grinding. I snagged myself a fancy Feather Badge in-between all of that though. So at least there was some progress made. Really not that much interesting happened. I did scan a friend's QR code to enter my first secret base (and was most disappointed when I learned I couldn't battle him yet lol). Haven't bothered doing anything to mine yet... I know I'll find a nice place and kit it out eventually though. It
