Re: Prank

So my angry mood was spoiled by being intercepted by more people than I thought would be there before the meeting.   Instead, I played up the sadness. I acted very morose. Immediately had them asking if I was alright; that I seemed depressed. Played that out for the next half hour; stayed distant, outside the room, like I couldn't be around anyone. Then gave my speech about deciding to disband the club, apparently quite convincingly. They were pretty much speechless. As I closed the door, one of

Rayman Legends - Year in Gaming Part 4

I wanted to take a break from episode point-and-clicks to get the stink of Game of Thrones out of my mind before talking about the last one I played this year. So let's go to another Games With Gold title.   Rayman is a twenty year old series and this is only the second game I played in it. There was this GBC title I had that I can't even remember the title of, but I know I was never very good at it and thus never had interest in trying it out again.   Then a few years ago I saw some friends in

Quick Update on Things

So that sales thread I wanted to do for my RoboRiders and Throwbots? Yeah I still want to sell them, but then I realized I was going to be leaving in 2 weeks (1.5 now) and wouldnt' be able to sell stuff all that well when I'm not with it to handle it.   Internship ended. Thank goodness... Was starting to get pretty frustrated with that.   And yeah, I go back to school in 1.5 weeks. Yippee...   ~|ET|~

Prepare for Hip Action Figures of the NYTF!

It's New York Toy Fair time!   And already things have me going crazy!   Hasbro's Star Wars Black series, which they announced a few weeks ago, is finally going to get me into collecting Star Wars toys in addition to all those books. And of course the first announcement out of Toy Fair is what the first convention exclusive will be... Boba Fett with Han in carbonite. Why must the good things be exclusives?   But that's not the biggest thing..   Oh, no. Not at all.   I mean literally big!   Has

Pokemon Y: Day 9

Whaaat? Already?? Ayup, not procrastinating this one.   So all of a sudden... I'm underleveled! I powered through the eighth gym with absolute ease thanks to Kurama. Then I went to move on to Victory Road and just on Route 21, my Pokémon are a few levels below the trainers'. So it's back to grinding mode for me.   Kurama, Delphox Lv. 57 Gabutyra, Tyrantrum Lv. 55 Oberon, Sylveon Lv. 54 Philoctetes, Gogoat Lv. 54 Yveltal, Lv. 54 Soul Eater, Aegislash Lv. 53 Sanbi, Blastoise Lv. 53   Yeah, Ankh's

Pokemon Y: Day 8

I know, this is extremely late.. But I didn't get back until extremely late and didn't feel like doing this.   So I caught Yveltal! And yes... I soft reset for a good one. I was aiming for a nature for a mixed sweeper, but after only a few tries settled on what I predicted was a Timid one. See, because of cut scenes and other events, it was actually long enough to actually check the nature that it seriously was almost not worth it. The easiest thing to do is compare its stats mid-battle against

Pokemon Y: Day 7

Oh man, late night out... At least I got to play Pokémon during a good portion of it.   I now have seven badges and am about to go catch Yveltal. I must say, this game took a pretty dark turn very, very fast. I kind of like that, yet I really don't. Team Flare's mannerisms do not at all match their intentions. Their mission statement just does not seem to mesh with the team itself. It's just really weird. In general. The plot got kiiiind of weird.   Team as I'm saved before entering Yveltal (whi

Pokemon Y: Day 6

I HATE far too many of my classes this semester... Anyways...   I really wish I could show you guys what my trainer looks like at the moment. I've been taking screenshots, but just can't get online in my dorm room on the 3DS to upload them. Hopefully sometime soon I'll get somewhere that I can.   The sixth gym proved a little more challenging than I had anticipated. I'm still not adjusted to dealing with Fairy types and keep forgetting their strengths and weakness (outside of Dragon and Poison).

Pokemon Y: Day 5

Oh hey there... Almost forgot to do this today. I've been swamped with homework and didn't have much time to play today except for very early this morning and just now when I decided to call it a night.   So I got my fourth badge, curb stomped Team Flare at the power plant, got my fifth badge, got suuuuuper lost in Lumiose (but didn't save there! Wow is that a horrible bug!), and am entering the sixth gym right now. So I actually make considerable progress. But I'm pretty sure I've also not spen

Pokemon Y: Day 4

I wasn't able to play much today because of classes and homework... But I expected as much for my Tuesdays and Thursdays.   I did manage, however, to get my third badge! And experience my first Mega Evolution! Huzzah!   Which, by the way, was very anticlimactic. You had spent the entirety of the game up to that point solely searching for information on Mega Evolution. You finally find it from a man known as the "Mega Evolution Guru" who happens to be around quite early in the game, in the same t

Pokemon Y: Day 3

Whoo! I have 3 badges!   I'm loving how much content there is between gym towns. And still how many Pokémon there are to catch; I'm doing my best but know I'm missing a lot too.   Current team:   Kurama, Braixen Lv. 31 Philoctetes, Skiddo Lv. 30 Sanbi, Wartortle Lv. 29 Soul Eater, Honedge Lv. 29 Gabutyra, Tyrunt Lv. 29 Oberon, Sylveon Lv. 29   Bumped to rotation (will only be noting new additions here since the list will get big fast otherwise):   Ankh, Fletchinder Lv. 28   I think it's shaping

Pokemon Y: Day 2

So I still have...   One badge.   There's just so much to do! So many Pokémon to catch, both new and old! Every 30 minutes I'm really struggling to construct a team, because I find something else that I really like.   My team:   Philoctetes, Skiddo Lv. 24 Soul Eater, Honedge Lv. 21 Gabutyra, Tyrunt Lv. 21 Kurama, Braixen Lv. 28 Sanbi, Wartortle Lv. 27 Ankh, Fletchinder Lv. 28   Available/might use maybe eventually again:   Pandaman, Pancham Lv. 25 Uva, Vivillon Lv. 22 Skyhopper, Diggersby Lv. 20

Pokemon Y: Day 11

Kalos has a new Champion!   The ending of this game was... interesting.   Literally the only challenging part of the Elite Four was Siebold's Gyarados. During my first battle against him, it managed to get off five Dragon Dances... Stupid Full Restores... I literally couldn't do anything against it because of those and the healing. That's what ya get for not having an Electric type or even any Electric moves on your team, though. Got him easily enough the second time through relying on the fact

Pokemon Y: Day 10

Oh, Victory Road, how I've never really ever liked you. Thank goodness I just exited you and will hopefully never have to return ever.   The only interesting thing I got out of the trek through this mountain is just a general confusion over the trainers in this game, including your rival after that final showdown. Why do all of them have small teams? Seriously, she didn't even have 5 Pokémon until Victory Road. I don't think a single other trainer has gone over 3 Pokémon except maybe Lysandre or

Pokemon Y: Day 1

Doing this early to play the last BZPCraft in an hour.   So after I got through all of the soft resetting for a good Fennekin (which took a little over an hour), I was finally ready to start my journey.   This game is beautiful. It's a nice refresh and new look to the series, which was so very much needed. I am absolutely loving it so far.   I've gotten one badge and spent way, way, way too much time trying to catch things. The male/female ratio on Litleos is insane, but I wanted my Simba. (And

Pokemon White 2: Day 9

Had other things to do, didn't get to play a whole lot. But I did make it to right before the battle with White Kyurem! This is sure to be exciting.   Lucario, lv. 55 Espeon, lv. 51 Chirox, Crobat lv. 50 Electabuzz, lv. 52 Macku, Azumarill lv. 50 Pumbaa, Emboar lv. 51   ~|ET|~

Caught Terrakion, beat Marlon for my final badge! (wow that was easy with Electabuzz. :3), and am messing Team Plasma up. Overall, making progress, yo.   Electabuzz, lv. 52 Chirox, Crobat lv. 49 Espeon, lv. 47 Macku, Azumarill lv. 47 Lucario, lv. 50 Pumbaa, Emboar lv. 50   ~|ET|~

Pokemon White 2: Day 7

Caught Cobalion and Virizion. Having legendaries (besides the version mascots) basically forced upon you is quite different from any other game, but it made them feel actually important for once. So I liked that. Granted I'm not using them but still.   Also beat Drayden for my 7th badge! And then Team Plasma had to ruin all of the fun. And it's about time they did! What I loved about White was how intertwined the story was with the entier game. Every step of the way involved story someho

Pokemon White 2: Day 6

Got my sixth badge and made it through Reversal Mountain! Also visited the "Strange House." I'll admit, when the ghost girl appeared at first I was pretty freaked out lol.   Chirox, Crobat lv. 42 Lucario, lv. 41 Macku, Azumarill lv. 41 Pumbaa, Emboar lv. 40 Espeon, lv. 40 Electabuzz, lv. 41   Also did my first few missions in the Entralink. Yep, just as boring as in the last game.   ~|ET|~

Pumbaa, Pignite lv. 35 Chirox, Crobat lv. 35 Electabuzz, lv. 36 Espeon, lv. 35 Lucario, lv. 36 Macku, Azumarill lv. 35   Well, got my 5th badge and am about to get my sixth. This is also the point in the game where my team is pretty much cemented in place and I'll be hard-pressed to change it, not wanting to deal with training again... But we'll see. There's a lot that could change.   Also, the Habitat List continues to be a favorite new feature of mine. It's veeery nice being able to see so

Pokemon White 2: Day 4

Talk about not doing much. What little I played today was spent making movies lol. But I got stuck on this one and got frustrated so eventually went back to training.   Macku, Azumarill lv. 31 Electabuzz, lv. 30 Lucario, lv. 30 Pumbaa, Pignite lv. 30 Chirox, Crobat lv. 30 Espeon, lv. 30   Also faced Clay once for badge #5 but was not prepared for his Excadrill, so just shut it off and called it a night. But as I was typing this I realized I should give Lucario the balloon hold item so he can
