Technic Tournament 3 & Knuckles is on its Title Match right now, and I’m laughing. Partly out of rage at how the RNG seems to highly favor that wretched, boring, Sue-like shark over our challenger, I’ll admit. But mostly over this other thing. So, this time around, each player only gets one attempt at promotion during the Title Match—that’s it. You have one chance to bring in money for your fighter, and after that, all you can do is wait. Most people are doing what they’ve been doing
(Otherwise known as "An Abridged History of the Bioni-Lords Saga." This was originally done for a school paper, but I've made some edits to it since then. It's still probably not very good. Anywho, here we go...) I’m not original—never was. That’s why fanfiction has always appealed to me: you already have an idea to start with, you just need to take it and work with it. When I’m in a particularly good mood, I say that my creativity lies in combining and twisting pre-existing ideas rather tha
There's been even more new Pokemon news since my last entry! It's come to a halt for now, so I may post a blog entry about it in the near future... Also I went to see Star Trek Into Darkness recently. I was quite pleased. It's really happening...the link to Bond of Heresy is on the front page!! EXCITEMENT!! In related news, a comment or two on the story asked if I had any plans to continue it, which got me thinking. The next logical step, I think, would be for Ahkmou to discover a way t
G1 is dead. It’s deader than dead, deader than a doornail, super duper mega ultra permanently dead. Yet there remain a few who disagree. Tahu has been given great news: Lego wants to reboot Bionicle in 2015! However, there’s a problem. A few characters have been trapped in the dead G1 Universe, possessed and corrupted by the negativity of fans refusing to let go of the story they used to know. As long as they remain there, Lego is unable to reincarnate anybody into the G2 Universe, so Ta
is out for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon! Key points: -The mascots are, as theorized, Necrozma having absorbed Solgaleo/Lunala. The forms are referred to as Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings, respectively, and enable usage of Solgaleo and Lunala’s signature moves. -The special Rockruff has the ability Own Tempo, and knows special moves which differ slightly between US and UM. It evolves into Dusk Lycanroc when hitting level 25 between 5 and 6 PM (that’s such a narrow window argh). There’s also an exclusi
Asterisk Holder: Geist (warning he's super creepy) Origin: Bravely Second Was It In Bravely Default?: No Overview: The Exorcist’s ability has been translated as “Never Happened”, and allows them to undo turns. This can be done by setting HP, MP, or BP of a target back to what it was one to three turns ago. This abilities are said to have a fairly low MP cost. Personal Thoughts: Sounds like a super broken hybrid of Time Mage and White Mage. Not that I’m complaining (though Geist is cre
You’ve played Pokémon Sun and Moon, you know who Lillie is, she doesn’t need much introduction. It surely comes as little to no surprise that I love Lillie, and while it is due to the main reasons anyone loves her (she’s Totally Adorable and a Well-Developed Character), I’ve recently come to feel that she’s actually rather fascinating when you look at her as a writing technique. So: player characters in Pokémon. They aren’t characters, really. They’re consistently left totally and completel
Kingdom Hearts first, since there’s less. -Sora’s going to be in World of Final Fantasy as DLC. Haven’t been following this so eh -1.5 and 2.5 are being put together as one collection on PS4. So once this, 2.8, and III are all out, you can have the entire series on one console! I really need a PS4!! -The
has been released. Master Aqua…-Two screenshots for KHIII were also shown, and it appears we’re getting new/modified Drive Forms? One picture shows “Guard Form”, which uses the Keyblade
-Type: Null evolves into a Pokemon named Silvally. There really isn’t much change, all it really does is destroy its power-limiter helmet (here I thought that was just gonna be a form change), but in doing so it gains a new ability: RKS System. RKS. Say that out loud. Wanna know what it does? When given certain items, Silvally changes type, as does its new signature move. RKS. Too cool for subtlety it seems. -Remember that dragon Jangmo-o? It has two evolutions, both of whom are our firs
Good news: we had an Office disk and I set that up with little issue. Bad news: the computer just crashed again. But I got about 24 hours out of it. I guess I can just reboot it every single day, it's better than nothing and it's not like I can actually afford a new computer. I'm completely fine with this series of events.
A Nintendo Direct centered around Pokemon has been announced for Friday, at 7:00AM PT/10:00AM ET/3:00PM GMT! We don't know what it's about, but there'll probably be a new game revealed, so get your wallets ready. Pokemon Z, maybe?
I was going to go with "ORAS ORAS ORAS" for the title, but it seemed too general and I haven't actually watched that anime so anyway Mega Slowbro is the Magic Conch. Rather than it obeying your commands in battle, you must obey whatever it says. All hail the Magic Conch! Mega Audino...for some reason, I get the feeling it wants to make a contract with me... What surprises me is that several of the most recent reveals are for Pokemon who were not introduced in Generation III. I guess I j
So I mentioned I was writing a new fanfic. I’ve made some progress, but I’d like to settle on a title for it, and I’m not 100% sure about anything I’ve managed to come up with. It takes place on Spherus Magna 100,000 years after the reformation and the Great Beings’ civil war. Society is still struggling to recover, the feeling of hopelessness is all anyone knows, and the Toa, now all products of the Red Star, are too ashamed of what they’ve become to inspire anyone. A small team sets off t
Slizers: -Torch (Fire Slizer) Strength: start 3, current 3 Agility: start 1, current 1 Toughness: start 5, current 5 Mind: start 3, current 3 Powers and Items: Expert in disk-throwing, Elemental Fire powers, Vent Hand works without using elemental energy Sponsor: -Scuba (Sub Slizer) Strength: start 2, current 2 Agility: start 4, current 4 Toughness: start 3, current 3 Mind: start 3, current 3 Powers and Items: Expert in disk-throwing, Elemental Water powers, Harpoon Gun Sponsor: -Ski (Ice Sl
I don't spend a whole lot of time poking around at all the features on the text editor, so I was wondering if there was some equivalent of the spoiler tags that aren't called "spoiler tags"? Because the ability to collapse/hide text is actually very handy for condensing long posts out of consideration to others scrolling by, or having an extra buffer to hide my soul-crushing insecurity behind. But, spoiler tags are for spoilers, and I should probably stick to breaking the rules only once a w
After some edits for language, I finally put up those stories I mentioned where I’ve been trying out my Queen idea. For some reason I feel like doing a little spiel to go along with it and outline the history or whatever, so… The idea formed during the Fiction Writing class I took last semester. We were told to write three stories over the course, and since I had few ideas for my first tale, I decided to take A Recluse’s Dilemma, one of my FFFC entries, and rewrite it. The resulting second
Someone has provided English subtitles for the entirety of the 0.2 section of 2.8, so I watched that. Master Aqua is even more my hero than she was five minutes ago, we don’t deserve her, she’s got to be one of the most awe-inspiring protagonists in video game history. Something else that really caught my attention, assuming the subs are at least approximately accurate there are some interesting lore implications brought up.
So Technic Tournament 2: This Time It’s Personal! just wrapped up, with Pridak becoming Champion after gaining nearly one million Widgets in the final round, and then proceeding to curbstomp Granite in the Title Match by raising over six million Widgets (what the heck). Since everyone spent all their Widgets in the last round (and everyone but one player sponsored Pridak), everyone but the one guy who sponsored Granite ended up tied. Super weird…but, thanks for playing everyone! I’ll probabl
So I have decided to go ahead and cut three of the Queens in Divine Strength, and I’m beginning to rewrite what I’ve got so far. One thing that’s coming up is that a Queen who was cut was relating a story to two of the Queens. I could just have someone else tell the tale, but the thing is, I covered the event (and a related event a year later) in two of the short stories I wrote for Fiction Writing this semester, and I kind of like how they turned out. So, I’m considering putting those stories i
My next semester is starting up soon. Originally I had intended to have a rough draft of my novel Divine Strength done by now, but that definitely did not happen. At least the realization helped me kick myself into making some more progress. Part of that has involved me repeatedly posting about it on Tumblr, and answering some questions people have had about it on that website. I’ve shared a rough map of the story’s setting (it is by no means art, just there for reference), posted the names
I’m Alola’s first ever Champion! But I couldn’t have done it without my team: -Boko the Decidueye! My starter, the one who’s been with me throughout my entire journey. Love this archer bird. -Onepu the Mudsdale! The freaking MVP of this team! Seriously, if you play Sun or Moon, get yourself a Mudbray/Mudsdale with Stamina. You will not regret it. -Wargoyle the Marowak! Still working out her moveset, but no one can say she isn’t reliable! Handled most of the last-minute grinding done on
Okay forget my previous vaguely sad post because I just got the mail and My excited flailing is irritating Christina, I don't know why because she's about to become an awesome Mii Fighter, anyway goodbye I'll see you all in November
