    Weddings

    By Eyru,

    Two friends of mine are getting married today.
     
    Weddings are a good time. Everyone's happy and celebrating and just having a party. It's like we save up our everyday joy and then blow it all in one extravagant occasion.
     
    On another note, it's really weird that my friends are starting to get married. It makes me wonder if I missed a memo...

    This is it, ladies and gentlemen! The final two names have been decided on, and let me tell you: it was an extremely close margin! Here are the four names that have been eliminated, along with their scores:
     
    Delicious Chocolate Milk - 13
    Mushroom Exterminator - 3
    Simon - 9
    Tuna Flakes 20 - 3
     
    The final two names had scores of 14 and 15, so it's obvious that it was a close race, with Delicious Chocolate Milk being nudged out by just one vote! I personally love the name, but the you, the voters, have spoken, and here are the final two contestants!
     
     
    Fullmetal Eyrchamist - 22
    EYRU BEAM LASERS - 21
     
     
    The two names are already almost neck-and-neck, with EYRU BEAM LASERS ahead by only one vote. This race could go to anyone! So vote for your favourite, tell your friends to vote for your favourite, and make your mom an account so she can vote for your favourite! It's going to be a close one!
     
    The polls will close on Sunday morning, so you have all Saturday to vote!
     
    You may vote once, for one name. Please do not edit your post, or your vote may be disqualified.
     
    Now, LET THE MADNESS FINALLY COME TO AN END

    Welcome back, ladies and gents, to the polls! It is now day three, and the following names have been eliminated:
     
    Eyru
    Eyru Salad
    Great and Powerful Eyru
    Fabulous Salmon
    A Wonderful Pistachio
    Deodorant
    Pumpernickel
     
    Now, I know what you're thinking. "Eyru, you eliminated seven names!" That's because seven names had zero votes, and they were just taking up space. This means that, with 10 names left in the polls, tomorrow there will be 6 left, and the following day voting will take place between the two most popular names. It'll be more exciting this way, trust me!
     
    Without further ado, the remaining contestants:
     
    Eyrumpelstiltskin - 1
    Delicious Chocolate Milk - 7
    Mushroom Exterminator - 3
    PUFFERFISH - 1
    Simon - 6
    And Then Depression Set In - 1
    EYRU BEAM LASERS - 11
    Tuna Flakes 20 - 2

    Guy Who Licks Gravy
    Eel Your Rump Understands
    A Malicious Individual*
    Sneaky Peeky Eyru
     
    *This name actually received one vote, but apparently IT is not an acceptable name, and would be reverted were I to use it. Thus, it is eliminated!

    Name Change Voting!

    By Eyru,

    Welcome back, ladies and gents, to the polls for Eyru's next name!
     
    I received a lot of submissions this time around (21, to be exact). so I've come up with a twist to the voting system. Every day, I will eliminate the bottom four names from the list, and I will repost the voting entry, allowing you to vote again!
     
    That's right- you can vote up to five times if you vote once every day!
     
    If more than four names have the lowest score, I will choose and eliminate at random.
     
    Every day, the list of names will drop, from 21 to 17, to 13, to 9, to 5, and, finally, to 1, which will be the name I will use. In the unlikely event of a tie, the polls will be extended an extra day, and voting will commence between the two names with the highest number of votes.
     
    Without further ado, here are your choices!
     
    Eyru - 0
    Eyru Salad - 0
    Eyrumpelstiltskin - 1
    Great and Powerful Eyru - 0
    Delicious Chocolate Milk - 2
    Mushroom Exterminator - 0
    Guy Who Licks Gravy - 0
    Fabulous Salmon - 0
    Eel Your Rump Understands - 0
    A Wonderful Pistachio - 0
    Deodorant - 0
    PUFFERFISH - 1
    Pumpernickel - 0
    Simon - 1
    And Then Depression Set In - 1
    EYRU BEAM LASERS - 3
    Tuna Flakes 20 - 0
    A Malicious Individual - 1
    Meh - 1
    Fullmetal Eyrchamist - 3
    Sneaky Peeky Eyru - 0
     
     
     
    (a note on the entries: I eliminated any names that were similar to names I have held in the past, such as strings of gibberish or "___ is Awesome")

    That's It. It's Over.

    By Eyru,

    Today was my last day of high school.
     
    It's hard to describe my state of mind right now. I can't quite seem to get my head around the fact that I won't be going back to school in September. I won't be hanging out with all my friends; I won't be going to classes and seeing my favourite teachers. It's all over.
     
    Don't get me wrong- I'm so excited to have graduated. It's incredibly exciting. But at the same time, I'm swamped with memories of high school, and I'm feeling nostalgic. I'm so happy it's over, but at the same time, I don't want it to end.
     
    Basically, I'm excited to go, but I'm sad to leave.
     
    I'm at one of those points in my life where I'm in between two chapters, if you will. High school's behind me, and the future, in all of its bewildering glory, is ahead. Everything's changing, and it's both exciting and a little scary.
     
    Still, it feels good. The best is yet to come.

    I've plum forgotten when my Premier Membership is going to run out, so if I suddenly stop posting in my blog, now you know why.
     
    Of course, it could happen in a day, a month, or six months- I'm not exactly sure when I purchased it. So no need to fret, dear citizens! Just be on the ready.
     
    Now, I've had a good day. Who else has had a good day?

    I Am Disappoint

    By Eyru,

    Nintendo's E3 presentation was everything I feared it would be, and nothing I'd hoped it would be.
     
    Let me explain.
     
    Nintendo (predictably) spilled some more info on the upcoming Wii U by showing the final versions of the controller, introducing the Miiverse (the Wii U's answer to Xbox Live), and elaborating on the "asymmetrical gameplay" that's apparently going to be all the rage. They unveiled a list of games that would be available for the console, which included the Wii Sports-esque NintendoLand, Pikmin 3, ZombiU, and Assasin's Creed 3 (the latter two were actually unveiled at Ubisoft's conference, so they don't really count).
     
    And that's all great stuff! Don't get me wrong, I'm jappy as a jalepeno to see the great games coming in the future, and I'm excited to see how the Gamepad is going to be used.
     
    But... where's the Zelda?
     
    Zelda?
     
    Hold me.

    The time has come to put on a suit, walk across a stage, and give a speech. I'm graduating from high school today, and it's both awesome and surreal. I'm rather nervous for the speech part (I'm one of the two valedictorians), but I know it's going to rock!
     
    Anyway, wish me luck, and maybe I'll get around to posting some snazzy pics of me in the next few days!
     
    Oh, and look, I found an emoticon appropriate to my emotions:
     

     
    I'll be a graduate the next time we chat! Later gators!

    Legend Of Zelda

    By Eyru,

    The obsession is reawakening....
     
    EYRU'S AWAKENING
     
    One day Eyru woke up on an island with a mountain There was an egg on the mountain. Eyru prompty died of happiness, and the game over screen was beautiful too.
     
    AN EYRU TO THE EYRU
     
    One day Eyru woke up in the middle of the night. Eyru had just had a dream about a beautiful girl, which usually would seem weird, but his uncle said was a natural part of growing up. So Eyru turned over and went back to sleep, and Ganon ruled the world.
     
    EYRU'S MASK
     
    One day, Eyru went looking for a friend. An imp wearing an odd mask turned Eyru into a little plant animal thing. Eyru spent the next three days spinning in circles, then an angry rock hit the earth .
     
    OCARINA OF EYRU
     
    One day, the great Deku Tree wanted to see Eyru. He sent a fairy to give the great news. Eyru was so happy upon receiving a fairy and a summons, and promptly died of happiness, and the game over screen was beautiful too.

    New Blog Buttons?

    By Eyru,

    I now have some extra buttons above my blog. One allows me to change themes. Unfortunately, there are no other themes to choose from.
     
    <.<

    Weeeeird.
     
    Grad countdown: 8 days.

    So I'm applying for a summer job at a somewhat-local newspaper. They have an opening for a full-time summer intern who's web-savvy, ambitious, has a strong work ethic, and has a passion for journalism.
     
    Oh, and they require a firm grasp of English grammar and spelling. Crazy, right?
     
    Anyway, I've applied, and I figure my chances are pretty good, seeing as not only have I been involved with my school newspaper over the past few years, but I'm also the editor of this year's yearbook (did you guys know that?). And I can write pretty well, I guess. You know, if I have to.
     
    So I've got my fingers crossed. I sent in some articles I've written along with my résumé, and they're decent, so hopefully they get looked at. I also hope my cover letter gets read, cause man it's a thing of beauty.
     
    Anyway, that's what's going on in Eyru-land today. Cross your fingers for me.
     
    Now, back to writing my valedictorian speech, and maybe someday soon I can post in the BZPRPG. And maybe play Okami sometime soon?
     
    Plox?
     
    Eyru out.

    Okami

    By Eyru,

    So I was out and about the other day and I just so happened to wander across a used cpoy of Okami for Wii, priced at fifteen dollars.
     
    I'd heard splendid things about this game, so I bought it on the spot. Then I took it home and played it (with very high expectations).
     
    So far, it's pretty good. It's very obviously a Japanese game, and not just because of the art style, but also because of the storytelling style, which is heavy on the exposition and a trifle long-winded. But the story itself is good enough. What's not good is the look of the game: it's better than good.
     
    This game is beautiful.
     
    The art style is a mix of what can best be described as a watercolour painting and a pop-up book. Seriously. You'd think it would be weird, and it is, but it's also gorgeous. It's like running around inside a painting, which is very fitting, considering the game's main gameplay element, which is, to put it simply, a brush.
     
    But not just any brush: it's a Celestial brush, and you can use said brush to draw on and affect the game's world. The brush can be used to paint things into existence, such as painting in the missing parts of a broken waterwheel; or it can be used to attack enemies, or plant trees, or bring dying flora back to life. It's very simple to use, but the applications are incredibly diverse and very rewarding.
     
    The gameplay itself is basically Legend of Zelda with a wolf as the protagonist (hmm, sound familiar?). The emphasis is on adventure, discovery, and solving puzzles, and there's a ton of sidequests and exploration you can do when not partaking of the main plot, which is unfortunately quite linear. There's also a lot of handholding at the beginning, and I haven't gotten far enough to know whether or not that trend continues, but it is a little irritating to play a game where you don't really need to think, just follow directions.
     
    That's a problem I also had with Skyward Sword, where Fi would basically solve every puzzle you were presented with before you got a chance to do it yourself, and unfortunately it seems to be a trend with a lot of games lately, presumably to make sure nobody gets frustrated. My response to that is the fact that Ocarina of Time, for example, is one of the most frustrating games I've ever played (Water Temple, anyone?), but it's also one of the best games I've ever played, and partly for that reason. There's no point to playing a game that has no challenge; half the fun is the feeling of accomplishment you get when you finally get past something that had you stumped. I can remember several Zelda bosses in particular that had me so frustrated I actually shouted for joy when I beat them.
     
    But I digress.
     
    Okami is challenging, and though there has been a lot of guidance these first several hours, the rapidly increasing difficulty in enemies has gotten me hopeful for a decently hard game. The combat itself can require strategy depending on the enemy, though the weaker foes require little save Wiimote-waggling and painting quick lines to slice at them. Thankfully, I've already run into some more challenging foes that required me to dodge and fight carefully lest I die in seconds.
     
    If you haven't bought this game already, then I highly recommend it. I realize I'm a few years behind the curve playing this game, and everyone's probably already heard about how great it is, but it's good enough that I needed to make a post about it.
     
    tl;dr I bought Okami for $15. It's been really good so far.

    Without further ado, here are the twelve entries you can vote for!
     
    Hey run! - 4

    Eyru, Guest - 2
    Eyru-inator-inator - 0

    You may vote for one name only. Please don't do any sneaky edits or I may have to disqualify your vote. Polls close on Friday.
     
    With that out of the way, you may begin. And may the odds be ever in your favour!
