After completing a paper that is literally 1 word over the minimum count and submitting it with approximately 5 and a half hours to spare, I am officially done with the semester. A little stressful, but the classes weren't too bad overall. Except for that 8 AM science class. To heck with that class. But anywho, I have about a month off before the next semester starts, so in between my job and intense sleep, I'm going to try to be productive with non-school-type things. Hopefully I can eve
I know this doesn’t affect many of you, but I’m gonna ramble a bit anyway, so please forgive me. A quick check of the topic will reveal that Bioni-Lords Book 3: Kako has not been updated in months now. I can also confirm that, in that time, I have done little to no writing for the story, and I feel like I should address this. As I’ve mentioned in a previous entry, I got to thinking more about Bioni-Lords and how I was handling, well…everything…and I became extremely frustrated with it. Frus
1. There are now subs of the Steins;Gate movie. I can't link it on BZP because of reasons, and you may be better off waiting until there are higher-quality subs, but just so you know, they exist. I cried a little. 2. I put up a new short story: Opportunity for Ambition. It's a part of my "Heretic Stories" project and focuses on Tehutti's character, and how I want to represent him. I was originally prompted to do this by the FFFC a while back (the same one I used to enter stories focused on
Ah, yes, Fairy...well, the thing is...I haven't actually trained any Fairy types yet. It turns out I haven't even trained any Pokemon that were later retconned to Fairy type. This bothers me. I definitely will train Fairy types in the future, not just so I can have an awesome counter for Dragons, but also because I want to try out several of them. Mega Gardevoir looks pretty cool, and Diantha did give me one in Y, so I have that on stand-by. I also kind of like Carbink and Klefki, so I've
-Lapras ("Lap") -Kyurem (White) -Aurorus ("Celsius") My relationship with Ice is weird. I like the Ice type, but I don't really like a whole lot of Ice Pokemon enough to try them out. You may notice that of the three Pokemon listed above, two of them are given to you for free and the other is a mascot. That's how little I feel like going out of my way for Ice types. Still, I want to change that and train more Ice types. Avalugg looks pretty cool, and I want to give a chance to Abomasnow a
I'm taking a Fiction Writing class this semester--we all write stories, distribute them, and then workshop them each in class. Today we went over my latest story, and when we were done talking about it, everyone handed back their copies with comments written in the margins. As I was going over these, I noticed that one classmate came up with a name for the canon ship in this story and confessed to fangirling a little. This is the greatest compliment my writing has ever been given like I am o
-Scrafty -Spiritomb -Umbreon ("Umbra") -Bisharp ("Muramasa") -Greninja ("Gali") -Yveltal I actually rather like the Dark type. It frustrates me that it's still the only type that doesn't have a Gym. (They must have noticed this by now, especially when they were arranging the World Championship in Black 2/White 2, so I have to believe that this is on purpose.) Most of these Pokemon were really great (with exception(s)), and Scrafty in particular was a big surprise--I never would have caught on
-Ampharos ("Reeper", no nickname) -Raichu ("Pika", "Minnie") -Luxray ("Shin") -Zekrom Hm, not a whole lot of diversity amongst my Electric types, huh? Yes, I trained some Pikachu. You're darn right I evolved them! It's a fun type to have, although sometimes it can be difficult keeping them alive in battle. If I had to pick a favorite...well, I might actually go with Luxray. My Platinum Luxray is really, really awesome. I'm sure I'll train more Electric types in the future, but I'm not re
Kal and I were walking around when this spaceship pulled up, and then Sub Slizer poked his head out. "Get in losers we're gonna throw some disks." So we went with him. Because who doesn't want to throw disks with a Slizer?
-Butterfree ("Cat") -Heracross -Genesect As you may be able to guess, I'm not a huge fan of the Bug type either. Might have something to do with my phobias. Also, there aren't a whole lot of Bug Pokemon I find really interesting, and I've never thought of it as being a particularly powerful type. I trained Butterfree because I felt like I should, but it didn't do me a whole lot of good. Heracross and Genesect, though, were just fantastic, and it's impossible to choose which one I love more
-Bronzong ("Bronz") -Gallade ("Lancelot") -Victini -Mewtwo -Reuniclus ("Cell") Psychic is an interesting case. I've always thought the type and a lot of the Pokemon were pretty cool, but they don't seem to find their way onto my team with any great frequency. I thought maybe this was because they were rare, but turns out Psychic is actually a very common type, so...I don't know. Of the Psychic types I have trained, though, they've all been absolutely wonderful (though it should be noted tha
Well, let's see... -Pidgeot ("Tori") -Butterfree ("Cat") -Gyarados ("Berserker" (shiny)) -Ho-Oh ("Rudy") -Charizard -Yveltal Flying isn't high on my "must have in team list," since their main use in my opinion is learning Fly, and that send you right to a Pokemon Center where you can put them back in the box anyway. In most cases, a Flying type will only make it onto my team if they have another type that I'm looking for, or if they're a mascot or just a Pokemon I feel like giving a try. I
With Squishy doing favorite Pokémon of each type, I kind of wanted to do the same thing. But it very quickly became extremely difficult for me to pick favorites, and because I avoid decision-making, I decided to just list all the Pokémon of each type I've actually used in my games. Going from most common to least common (thanks to Bulbapedia), so the first one is Water. -Lapras ("Lap") -Poliwrath ("Paul") -Gyarados ("Berserker" (shiny)) -Floatzel ("Zel", "Zelda") -Samurott ("Zenkai", "Masamu
Aw, there goes the records of my awesome Pokemans... Well, here's what they look like now. All Level 80. Gali the Greninja Triffid the Venusaur Blaziken Yveltal Celsius the Aurorus Ultima the Aegislash Friend Code is 3394 - 3629 - 6029. Don't know what my Friend Safari looks like, though.
In a shocking twist, Darkness Number VII was revealed to be Hououin Kyouma, main character of the popular visual novel/anime Steins;Gate. Kyouma makes many cryptic remarks, claiming events are "the choice of Kingdom Hearts." He will form a hostile rivalry with Kairi, mainly due to his insistence on calling her "Kylie." This strange man was sought out by Xehanort for his ability to retain memories from other timelines, allowing him to violate the laws of time travel and change the past. Whene
I decided to watch Madoka this week. I'm still in pain. But Pokemon news helps me forget the pain! Game Freak is holding a Pokemon Game Show over in Japan right now, featuring a demo of X and Y focusing on Mega Evolutions! Apparently you activate it using a special button on the move screen, and you can use a move the same turn that you activate it. The demo lets you use Mega Mewtwo. Impatience rising. In addition, it confirms that you now run by default, and holding the B button slows y
It’s insomnia-fueled idea sharing time again! Due to some anime I've seen, I want to do a story with personifications of stuff, and right now I’m thinking I may try with the islands in Bionicle. Tentatively thinking title could be “Geonicle” (Geographical Chronicle)…anyway, it’d be about a bunch of Toa-like beings named after the various islands, with traits and abilities tied to that island. Interaction will hopefully imitate canon events. Also thinking each one can summon a “Geo Blade,” w
Hey, guess what? The Platinum Avohkii is on sale again! It's cheaper this time, but I still can't afford it... In other news, I managed to get two chapters of Kako up in the past week. Hoping to get the next one done soon. Aside from that...well, the Technic Coliseum tournament starts on Monday. That's pretty much it. It's been an uneventful week, not that I'm complaining.
Here's to even more years! A giant monster contest? Must force self to enter. In regards to the Technic Coliseum voting, eleven fighters have 3 or more votes, so they'll be added soon. It may take a while before I'm done. Other news? Well, Kingdom Hearts X is officially released in Japan. There's also Comic-Con, which has given some news on the new Adventure Time and Regular Show games, which I must admit I'm looking forward to. They also talked about Korra Book 2, airing in September
Managed to whip up a comedy for the monster contest: AQUA MAGNA ATTACK ON MARENDAR 10.1010 THIS IS (NOT) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. Figured it was worth a try. Hm, with the Archives closing down, I guess I should do something about Bioni-Lords Books 1 and 2. It would take way too long to repost them, and they're really not that good anyway--if I were to redo it, I'd like to wipe all the canon and start with a fresh slate, but that'll take way, WAY too long. So here's what I'm thinking: I'll m
I feel like I should jump on, but the only social media I frequently use is Tumblr. And I'm not giving you my Tumblr. The reason being that, to quote a certain Jedi, "you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy" than Tumblr. I've blended a bit and swear a lot on my blog over there. I mean, maybe if I were to behave long enough to get one full page without swearing, I could link it, but...no. The good thing about this, and one of the main reasons I still use Tumblr, is
