Saw The Force Awakens Again

So Star Wars: The Force Awakens appeared on the Starz channels this last weekend, so I decided to watch it after work because I haven't seen it since it was in theaters.   Man, I forgot how great the music is in that movie. All the Star Wars movies have good music IMO, but the music in this one is particularly good.   It was actually cool just to see the movie again in general. I really like it a lot. And I bet the Starz channels will be playing the movie a lot for the next week or two, so I'm

Saw dolphins at my job today

At least, I think they were dolphins. Someone told me that they were NOT dolphins but creatures that looked like dolphins whose name started with 'M'. (If anyone knows the name of these dolphin-like creatures, like me know. But until told otherwise, I'm calling them dolphins!)   Anyway, I was working in my booth near the water where I sell tickets for a boat ride when two or three dolphins just appeared out of nowhere. Until today, I've never seen them there before. I was actually really bored

Run Santa Run!

Four years ago I made a blog entry about one of my favorite Christmas commercials. That commercial was Santa Claus running full speed to a Target to get some last minute things. (Like a lot of people will be doing today, I imagine. ) Back then, I couldn't post its link from Youtube on BZP because Youtube videos weren't allowed on the site. But the times have changed, so now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Running Santa Commercial that is still my favorite Christmas commercials out there.

Replaying Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

So after replaying Metroid Prime and Metroid Zero Mission, I've decided that I wanted to replay Metroid Prime 2 Echoes as well. And after I complete it, I'll most likely replay Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption, and Metroid Other M too.   As for my copy of Metroid Prime Hunters...I'm still deciding if I'll play that one again.

Re-Posted The First Chapter Of My Epic Today

Oh, it feels like forever since I've worked on me epic, Voyage of Madness. That doesn't mean I'm not excited to finish it though. After I re-post all the remaining chapters, I'm going to post the epic's two-part finale. Now, I can't promise that the finale will be posted immediately after the other chapters are up, since I don't have as much free time as I used to. But I'll get to writing them and posting them eventually.   P.S. BTW, the forum downtime may have been good for my epic. I was going

Rabbit Or Duck?

So I was watching a 'How I Met Your Mother' episode today, and in this episode the gang was debating on whether ducks were better than rabbits or vice versa.   This is what gave me the idea to present the following question to you all: which do you like more, rabbits or ducks?   Though I think rabbits are cute, I like ducks just a little bit more.   So which do you like better?

Quick Thoughts on PotC: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales came out last weekend, and that is when I saw the movie. It's definitely better than the fourth movie, On Stranger Tides. But it still falls short compared to the first three IMO.   They are some good things in it though. One of the opening sequences involving Jack and Co. stealing a bank vault is really cool. It definitely something not seen in a Pirates movie before, and it's one of my favorite action scenes in the movie.   The relationship betw

Quick Thoughts on Movies I've seen this summer

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been posting my thoughts on movies that have been coming out this summer. (Or you have not noticed. I don't know. ) This is because it's been a really rough summer for me at my job. Summers have always been rough at my job, but this year has been extremely tough, especially this month.   But I still wanted to at least mention some of the movies I've seen this past summer. So I'm going to just mention which movies I've seen and give some quick thoughts

Quick Thoughts on Logan

Normally, when I talked about a movie I've seen, I like to go into detail about it. However, I just don't have time to write such a piece at this point in time. But since I've seen Logan twice this past weekend, I decided that I'd post a quick summary of my thoughts on it. And here is said post. There are only mostly mild spoilers below, just to give anyone who doesn't like those a heads up.   1. The main cast, which includes Logan, X-23 AKA Laura, and Charles Xavier, are all great in this.

Quick Thoughts on Life

I can't remember a time aside from the summer season where so many movies came out that I wanted to see within weeks of each other. Logan, Kong, Power Rangers, Beauty and the Beast, and Life all fall into this category for me. I guess this means I'll be spending a lot of time at the theaters in the near future.   But that's off topic from what I want to talk about in this entry. I saw Life this past weekend, and I thought it was an entertaining movie. The characters were interesting, the specia

Quick Thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

It's been awhile since I've done one of these.   Anyways, I enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. A lot of the jokes were really funny, the action scenes were great, and the movie itself just looked beautiful. It also had a really good soundtrack. It's not as memorable as the first movie's, but it's still good.   Everyone in the movie gets a moment to shine, from Peter to Rocket to Baby Groot. Yondu is probably the one who gets the most character development, though everyone from the first mo

Quick Thoughts on Black Panther Teaser Trailer 1

When I learned that this trailer was being revealed last night, I was a little surprised. I thought that we wouldn't see anything on Black Panther until at least after Spider-Man: Homecoming was out in theaters. But I'm not complaining, because this trailer is great.   I like how it continues to trend in recent Marvel movies of showing just enough to get you interested in the movie but not give the majority of the plot away. (Though Spider-Man is an exception to that. ) It's a trend that I hope

Progress Report on Omega Ruby

It's been two months since I've posted anything about my playthrough of Pokemon: Omega Ruby. I still haven't finished the main game yet thanks to the busy season of my job starting up, catching up on everything I've missed since the busy season of my job started up, and my own laziness. But I have made some progress in the game. And that progress is this:   1. I've now beaten all eight of the Hoenn Gym Leaders, so I'm ready to go the Pokemon League now. I haven't yet though, because there are o

Progress On My Epic's Finale

I have typed a semi-rough draft of the first part of my two part finale of my epic, Voyage of Madness. I hope to at least have it finished by the time I have all my previous chapters re-posted. I really like some of the ideas I have for the finale, and I hope anyone who reads it will like them too.

Progress

Well, I finally got some free time to make some headway with my short story Contest 8 story. I made a mini-rough draft of it. I'm going to try to complete it and post it tomorrow. No guarantees though.

Pokemon: Omega Ruby Progress Report

It's been awhile since I've talked about my playthrough of Pokemon: Omega Ruby. I've made a lot of progress since my last entry about it. Here are the highlights:   1. I beat the Elite Four. I sailed through it for the most part. Steven gave me some trouble at the end of it, but I was able to beat him too. I even challenged myself to not use Mega Evolution in any of the battles, and I still beat them. I'm really glad my team was able to pull it off.   2. I really like how the official story end

Pokemon Sun and Moon and the Assassin's Creed Movie Trailer

So a couple new trailers have come out over the last couple of days. One is a trailer for the upcoming Pokemon Sun and Moon games released on last Tuesday, while the other is the Assassin's Creed movie trailer which was released just last night. Since I don't want to make two separate entries on them, I thought I'd post what I think of both in one entry.   Let's start with the Pokemon Trailer, which is right here:     First off, I think that's its really cool that the region has a tropical set

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_y1yuqwlko   It's official, everyone. New Pokemon are coming to Pokemon Go!   Later this week, over 80 Gen 2 Pokemon will become available to catch in the game. The baby Pokemon of Gen 2 have already been available to be caught from catching eggs. But these will be catchable by throwing Pokeballs at them.   There will also be new berries as well as items that help to evolve certain Pokemon. I don't know much about them as of this entry, but more info will proba

Pokemon Contests in Omega Ruby

So I've been playing Pokemon Omega Ruby for a little while now. And I'm still having a lot of fun with it. My team is growing really well, and I'm making good progress whenever I play it.   However, I wanted to challenge myself a little bit regarding the Pokemon Contests. I decided that I would raise Pokemon that would only be used in these Contests. So far, I've only competed in three of them in the Cute Category. The Pokemon I'm using, Skitty, has destroyed all the competition so far. Probabl

Pokemon Bank

So I finally got around to downloading the Pokemon Bank last night. I had been telling myself that I would do it for awhile, but I just hadn't gotten around to it. (Thanks to being an adult. ) It feels great now having a place to store all my Pokemon from Omega Ruby and Y that I want to save. Particularly the Legendary Pokemon from the 20th anniversary event going on this year.   Though the release of Sun and Moon had a part in me finally getting the Bank, the main reason I got it was because I

Playing Majora's Mask Again

I got the sudden urge to start playing The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask again last night. I stopped playing it a while ago when I thought I did something wrong in the second dungeon that stopped my progress in the game, and then never got back to it because I would play Pokemon Y or Smash Bros. instead. But I decided to play the game again, because even though I haven't personally played through the game, I do know its story and I like it a lot. And what do you know, I got pass the point that

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Trailer 2

You know, I wasn't too excited for a fifth Pirates movie. I felt that there really didn't need to be any more of them after At Worlds End. Especially since the fourth one wasn't as good as the first three IMO. And while the first trailer for the fifth movie did get my attention, I still wasn't too excited for it.   Then I saw this new trailer.   Now, I'm really excited for this movie. The villain looks scary, Will Turner and the Flying Dutchman are back, and the scenes shown in it look gorgeous

Phalanx Box Art

So I was reading an article on another site, and happened to run into this picture:     Seriously, who came up with this? This makes no sense to me. Even the guy in the artwork looks like he's wondering why he's there.   It is extremely hilarious though.
