    So the unannounced 3DS title wasn't Majora's Mask 3D. I know it was a long shot, but I still had my hopes up.
     
    Still, apparently it's a steampunk strategy game with cel-shaded graphics and a lot of action elements. It's set in London and according to one source somehow involves Abraham Lincoln. Which is all pretty neat, I'm hyped for tomorrow's more extensive reveal.

    Counter Deck

    By Obsessionist,

    So I was researching how to make my Simic evolve/counter doubling deck better, and I was amazed at all the awesome counter-adding cards I had no idea existed.
     
    Then I realized that many of them were $10+ a pop, and those were the cheaper ones.
     
    ...You know, Magic is expensive. I think I'll keep my deck casual for now and be content with my two Vorel of the Hull Clades. Although a Kalonian Hydra would be about the best find ever.

    So I commented on this great post by Aanchir and realized, first, I wrote a lot, probably more text than my last couple months of BZP activity combined. Second, it would make a decent post here.
     
    So.

     
    I'm all nostalgic now. The Rahksi and Vahki were just so cool.

    Come Friday, I will have a Wii U. I currently have a Wii with game saves and virtual console titles on it. The Wii does not read disks. I may make further efforts to fix it, but at this point it's looking pretty dismal. I would like to transfer the game saves onto the Wii U so that I can use them. We wouldn't want hundreds of hours of Super Paper Mario to go to waste, now would we?
     
    The issue is, I want to keep my virtual console games on the Wii so I can play them with the Gamecube controller. Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask just feel so good on it. I'm also not about spend however many dollars on a Wii U pro controller that isn't even preferable to the Gamecube's. It sounds like the transfer tool is all-or-nothing, all of your VC games and save files are transferred whether you like it or not. Is there a way to keep the VC games on the Wii? Can I re-download them (for free) after the transfer? Can I move them to an SD card or something and re-download them from the SD card to the Wii after transfer? What's the deal with VC game saves, are they bundled with the VC games themselves or what?
     
    Also Minish Cap is coming out on VC, Hyrule Warriors is looking iffy but interesting, and Zelda U is scheduled to be discussed at E3. I have no regrets.

    Stab wound.
     

     
    It's by no means the most dangerous. It's not the most OP. But even if other cards completely destroy you, turning that one creature you got out into a time bomb with no way of getting rid of it is probably as infuriating as it gets. You can't even voluntarily sacrifice the creature or anything, you just hope you opponents takes out the creature it's on.

    Almost There

    By Obsessionist,

    The last few weeks of school are upon us. I've got the AP Psychology, IB Physics, and Science Fair done, and I think I did pretty well on all three. Tomorrow I take the APUSH exam I'm expecting to bomb, but I can deal with that, as it's a bit redundant anyway since I'll have to take the IB US History of the Americas exam next year anyway. Frankly, History is not my subject. Thursday's AP Calculus AB test should go well, and then I'm out of the Era of Testing and into the Era of Year-End Projects.
     
    The weekend after next, though, my grandparents, who were on the other side of the country, are moving near us. So between that and the Wii U it's a weekend to look forward too.

    SGDQ

    By Obsessionist,

    I just realized that Summer Games Done Quick is really close. The bad news is that I'll be away from the computer for almost all of it, including an LoZ Oracle speedrun, a Four Swords speedrun, and worse of all, a Skyward Sword speedrun! Auhgggg! The good news is that I'll be back just in time to watch the ALTTP and ALBW speedruns!
     
    Anyone else hype? I always look forward to these things every year!

    Physics Fun

    By Obsessionist,

    The derivative of position is velocity.
    The derivative of velocity is acceleration.
    And apparently the derivative of acceleration is ###### (a censored mean person) (or jolt or surge or lurch).
    The derivative of the ###### is the jounce (or snap)
    The derivative of jounce is sometimes called the crackle.
    The derivative of crackle is pop.
     
    But what comes after that?
    My suggestions:
     
    Rumble
    Tumble
    Fumble
    Careen
    Glitch
    Power Slide
    Hyper-Extended Super Slide
     
    And then what?

    It's coming out on Wii U VC in Japan, at least, which means it's bound to be available to the rest of us eventually. Here's hoping! Also, it would be perfect timing for me if they could get it out during June. Please?
     
    Also I just had a mini heart-attack. I had removed my 3DS SD card to get some pictures from it, reinserted it, and all of my downloaded icons were gone. GONE. (Except Four Swords.) It was a very long minute before I restarted the system and everything was back.
  16. Obsessionist
    when the titles of pictures sound like something from Sumiki's profile feed.

    Studying

    By Obsessionist,

    It's hard enough to stop distracting myself and get down to work on actual assignments, but studying? That's so vague and with such indeterminate benefits it's nigh impossible focus on.
     
    In related news, this week is AP Psych and IB Physics test, next week is the symposium that's my one big extracurricular thing, and the week after are the (late) APUSH and AP Calc AB exams.
     
    Then there's one week of regular school, in which I hope to complete Super Metroid, and on the 30th I'll get myself that Mario Kart 8 bundle and no-life Wind Waker HD.
     
    All things told, I'm much less stressed than others I know and have some awesome games to look forward to. Life is pretty OK.

    Wii U

    By Obsessionist,

    I'm going to buy one, the question is, when?
     
    I don't feel any urgency at all. The big driving reason to get one would be Zelda U, and that's presumably significantly in the future. I have other really great games to play in the meanwhile- I still have to finish Super Metroid, I want to play Super Mario World, I want to get Ocarina of Time 3D at some point (I don't care if that's before or after Wii U). I don't have ton of time for games right now, nor will I have as much time for games this summer as I would like. So there's no rush, I'll take the Wii U games whenever's most convenient.
     
    I'm definitely getting Mario 3D World and Wind Waker HD; Mario Kart 8 looks great; DK Tropical Freeze and New Super Mario Bros U are appealing but not as tempting as the others.
     
    So my issue is: what bundle will be the most worth it? The Wind Waker HD bundle nets me the game I most want to play, and a sweet Zelda Wii U (a very tempting perk).
     
    The upcoming Mario Kart bundle, for thirty extra dollars, nets me a Wii plus controller and basically a free Wind Waker HD, but the system isn't the sweet Zelda one and the controller is a goofy Mario one.
     
    Or I could hold out for the probable Zelda U bundle and place my lot with it for better or worse.
     
    So... Suggestions?

    Rap

    By Obsessionist,

    So I'm not the most musical person. I don't keep up with any bands and most of the time I just listen to whatever music comes my way. (I do keep up with OCRemix, but that hardly signifies familiarity with the music world in general.)
     
    The point is, I really like quality rap, but don't know where to find it. Can anyone suggest some good rap? Popular, obscure, geeky, serious, whatever, so long as it's clean. My standards of "clean" are basically the same as BZP's, so if you can post it here, it's golden. Christian rap gets bonus points.

    How on earth am I going to get this done I don't even know. I've had a lot of bad homework nights but the sheer slowness of understanding and summarizing history makes tonight take the cake.
     
    AP/IB testing season is rough.
     
    We're taking the AP tests at my church, though, so I think that entails some sort of home team advantage?

    Firsts

    By Obsessionist,

    I recently:
     
    Got my first Mixels, Krader and Flain, for my birthday, along with the Bug Obliterator Galaxy Squad set and some money. The Mixels are really nifty and I think I may buy a couple of Seismos for the joints and eyes. The Galaxy Squad set has amazing play functions that are entirely too fun.
     
    Made my first edit to Wikipedia, because replacing the word "what" with "cookies are good" was so annoying and obvious that I had to fix it. Also I feel like a better nerd now, having done at least something to contribute to the encyclopedia I rely on so much.
     
    Bought my first Magic: The Gathering cards! Here's hoping I can piece together a decent deck! I cot a foil card, so that's neat, I guess?
     
    Bought my first Smash Brothers game, the original N64 version on VC. Gotta start somewhere, right? And it'll be a good hype machine for the 3DS version this Summer.
     
    Lost for the first time to Shuckle Sweep. Triple Battle, Trick Room and I had no priority, 0-5. But by George at least I took the Shuckle down with me.

    Wii Issues

    By Obsessionist,

    So my Wii has been making a progressively louder humming/buzzing noise when reading disks for a good while now, and it's finally gotten to the point where I'm pretty sure it's either damaging the disks or just having trouble reading them. It looks like there is a pretty easy fix if I can disassemble the Wii... which I can't, thanks to the sunken tri-screws. I need this thing fixed by tomorrow for a party. Any suggestions?
