Slow progress again today. Remember yesterday when I observed I hadn't found a Mega Stone in a while? Well, I've found 5 in the past 24 hours. Unfortunately, they're all still just for old Mega Evolutions (And I did at least check Sharpedo's... looks like I'm not getting that during this playthrough :/). One in particular had me a little bummed: Manectite. I swore off using a Manectric since I used one in my original Ruby run and didn't want to repeat that. But if I had just bothered to check
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
Seemingly not much interest this year, huh? Meh... For anyone actually reading: suggestions on a nickname for Trapinch?! Was unable to come up with one myself I liked much. I have gotten to the point of acquiring my Mega Bracelet! And wow, I sure did like how that was introduced. Team building has been a big focus of today's play. A lot has changed and a lot of catching up needs to be done. I like the additions though. I am somewhat worried that I'll basically have three Dragon types,
What even is New Mauville?!?! Seriously that radical change reeeeally threw me off. I also find it kind of confusing to navigate... But hey, at least there's the joy of technically using a bike in a building (since it's a mall). :3 Took out Wattson for my third badge with a little difficulty. I am really, really feeling the lack of a Fire Pokémon. It is a feeling I am not even remotely used to lol. I caught a Numel, but I'm not really keen on using a Camerupt... Not that there's likely to be
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
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
Just the other day, I had just accepted that I wasn't going to get a part. Filming will be wrapping soon and I just had that feeling that whatever was written on my paper after I said "yes, I have a full time job" really was a killing blow. Fast forward to this afternoon and I'm sitting in a networking event and my phone starts buzzing like crazy, so I check it. Just happened to get five emails at once (moving in and out of service within the building maybe), and one happens to be from the cas
I'd been wanting to for a while and finally last week finished playing through both seasons of Telltale's The Walking Dead. They were some interesting... games, I guess. So let's get to that first. I'm not sure how to think of them. They definitely are more like what I imagine a visual novel would be like (having never played one), with a bit more action of course. They were different from what I'm used to, but not overall in a bad way. It was fun to play something new. At the same time, there
So I was going to quote and cite an older article that shares this entry's name, before I did a reread (been a while since I had heh) and noticed all of the language in it. It's still a good read and would be helpful context of course, so go ahead and check it out yourself if you want. Since I'm usually the one asking this, here's what this is directly about: The Big Bang Theory. More specifically, the vitriol I've been seeing directed towards it and the upcoming Ideas set. A set I can't wai
...Sort of. There is still the epilogue canon movie (set before the last two chapters to bridge the time gap) and a short series coming next year starring the next generation, but besides that it's over! I've not been reading Naruto since the beginning, but I have been interested in it ever since the very first episode aired on Toonami all those years ago. It's kind of surreal to see such a juggernaut end (though of the big three [two?], I do wish a certain other one had ended sooner than Nar

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|~
This demo was... interesting. It's definitely not what I excepted at the very least. It was not just playing part of the game, like what usually happens in a demo. This was its own miniaturized look at the game as a bit of a side story we won't see in the game proper. It was a unique idea and not too bad, but it was really just too short to be that interesting. You can replay however many times you want - but really only doing it 10 is worthwhile to get all of the rewards that carry over to th
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
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
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
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
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
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).
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
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
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
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
