Vezon died? Whaa? I thought he survived!

Wait. Where'd that come from? And that background's great.

How do you pronounce "Dokuma?" doh-ku-my. Or at least, I would if I had an excuse to do so. Are you going/did you go on vacation this year? If so, where? Just returned from Australia's Central Coast. How many holes in a polo? Two. Did you read my blog in the early days, before I re-bought Premier Membership a few months ago? No idea. Probably so, other than the fact that I don't remember. Should I? Uh...?

Uh... yay? Eh, I hardly know anything about you, so I've got no guesses.

Yeah, seriously. But not just because she tries to teach me maths. You see, my school likes to enter the Westpac Mathematics Competition. They like to get people to enter and win stuffs to stick in one of their display cabinets. And they also like strongly suggesting that those in the highest level maths classes enter. And I'm in the highest level maths class. Why, I'll never know. So, what happened was this: my maths teacher took entry encouragement one step further. She entered everyone in it. WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION. Then she tried to get us to pay up. Most of us did, but then there were those who didn't. Like me. And now I have to enter a competition I didn't want to enter, about my least favourite subject, and I'll be forced to pay for something I never wanted to enter. Does that sound fair? Here's something worse: I have a friend (who happens to be a girl) who's in both my Japanese and Maths classes (not to mention English and History.... ). She went to Japan for all of last term and a couple of days of this term. She obviously didn't hear ANYTHING about the competition. Guess what? She's been entered in it, too, and she probably still has no idea. And the competition is this Thursday. That is certainly not fair. Seriously, my maths teacher is evil. Fortunately, she's hitchhiking around Italy this term.

Darn right, ya do. Much like I need to rent Metroid Prime. I've heard only good things about it, and the box gets my attention.

Warning: Ravings about Ike abound. Anyway, here's what happened. In my second playthrough of Radiant Dawn, Ike's unpromoted, right? I was about halfway through Part III, in what I think is Chapter 3-5 or something; at any rate, it involved defending the throne (to stop the enemies saying the dreaded "iM iN uR bAsE" ). Ike was posted in a stairway, because he's far too win to leave on the throne. So this mob of Generals turned up (FYI, Generals have insane defences... ), and Ike mutilated them all. With nothing but an IRON SWORD. Which, I stress, are the second-weakest swords in the game. Told ya that Ike is awesome. ..... ..... ..... I'm bored. I think I'll go get 15 posts.

And that outstrips "Good News Week" as the Most Misleading Title of the Year.

That quote is quoteworthy. So it was the sig that gave it away? Personally, given the garbage found in Artwork III nowadays (Rise and Fall of the Toa is awesome, by the way), I can't blame you for steering clear. Ehehe... that was sort of an invitation for you to Guest Star in LIGHT. I really should take a look at that...

It's a fad; it'll fade within a couple of weeks. Bye!

Ehehe... No negative review has ever made me laugh more. I've heard bad things about the film, and this has backed them up big time. I think I'll stick to the book, thank you very much. Need I mention the terrible Happy Meal that probably existed at some point or another?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Yeah, feel free to apply, both of you. Owch. Major owch. Major, major owch. Major, major, major owch. Hey, would you like it in ToM sprites, or a complete ToM sheet for yourself? Well, they are awesome. Strangely, you'd think that Metrukuta (part three of the trio, right?) would have a custom Kanohi. Which reminds me, I really need to look into introducing you to my comics. Waitasec.... if you haven't read them, how do you know I'm awesome without being a Toa?

Yes, I joined the duck fad. iM iN uR bAsE. And I've decided to get rid of the gold text; it's getting a bit annoying. But I'm definitely keeping the Trebuchet MS font.

Actually, I said that there's no way such a movie would be voice acted. The cast of The Newsroom is too big for that. I meant just making you two characters in it, partially because your Kanohi are awesome. I wonder how they'd look in Rayg or ToM... On the other hand, if you want to assist with voice acting, there's a whole heap of roles still available for The Unknown Turaga Movie.

Seriously, I just keep heaping the BZP-based stuff in a pile for me to do. The Newsroom and LIGHT, The Unknown Turaga Movie, Chapter 20 of Land of Dragons, not to mention Heroes, my spritework at Cyan, and those Titan Olympics lines I need to fix for Phy. Then there's my life, which somehow has survived the past three years of all this. Then, I just go and think, how about a Newsroom movie? Seriously, what's wrong with me? Do I enjoy heaping up all this work and adding more to the pile? As for the movie idea, I've got basically nothing to work with as of yet, other than a scene spoofing Get Smart. I personally wouldn't mind seeing if Tahuri or Kotahn (or both) would like to show up in it. On the plus side, there is no way a Newsroom movie would be voice acted. Most likely (HOPEFULLY), nothing will happen, and it'll end up at the bottom of the compost heap that is my mind.

I just use it because I'm too lazy to get anything else.

Well, I fail already, so it's safe to ask, "Who?" That looks really good. I still want to know how you do that grass... I'll SO need that for UTIII.

Uh, what?

It's been mentioned in my history class, and now I REALLY want to see it.

Agreed. Now I want Ignika...

This is all that matters in the world of videogames at the moment. Seriously. I saw an advertisement for it on a certain video site, and it looks to be EPIC WIN. The battle animation quality has improved considerably from the GBA instalments, and given their quality, THAT'S saying something. The horse unit animations appear to have been smoothed over, so their running looks a bit more realistic. And DON'T get me started on the Pegasus Knight animation. And now I finally know how the theme Together We Ride was used in Super Smash Bros Melee. You see, that song first showed up (or so I thought) in the seventh (or first English) game, which was made after Melee. Turns out it originated in the first or third game, of which this is a remake. Or something like that. It was used in the ad, at any rate. :smeag: And just so all of you know, MARTH IS IN THIS GAME. That's right. Marth is actually in a potential English release. Apparently, it's set for an August-September 2008 release in Japan. To quote a fansite, "that means early 2009 for the US, and god knows when in Australia and Europe". Which is just great for me. I like the sound of the game. I like the sound of the game A LOT. They'd better hurry up and bring it to Australia... (And yes, I was aware of the game prior to now. I just saw the trailer, and I HAD to rave about that thing of joy. )
