    Time Wasting

    By Blessed Blade,

    So, I just went through and got all of the blogs that weren't disabled marked as read. All 90+ pages of them. Why did I do it? I have absolutely no clue, I guess I was too bored for even Picross to help... ;-;
     
    now, if you'll excuse me, I think I need to reboot Firefox, it's complaining a bit about the sheer amount of stuff that's happened since the last reboot.

    New Blog Name

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alt Titles: Birthday Aftermath Part 1, Time To Get Out The Vacuum
     
    --
     
    So, hi there. =P I think I returned... again... during the August-October period. =P So, since that's gone, I'm back making blog entries... again. =p Figured a new name would work. I apologize heavily for it... No, wait, no not really. =P
     
    Not too much happening of note for the blog, though; I'm just glad I never got to doing that Y playthrough log I was planning on doing, or that would've been lost. =P
     
    So my birthday was yesterday, and was pretty cool. So far I've gotten money, a concert DVD, and a couple assorted other things; though the bulk of stuff will likely be this weekend. =P
     
    But yeah, dusting off the blog once more, and I'm gonna give it a shot... Again. =p Can't update on Blender, though, because I can't use Blender... So I'll have to think of something else. =P

    [i'm Going To The Neeeeeeetheeeeeeeer]
     
    So, following up from the last Minecraft Misadventures, I decided to head to the Nether after a little bit of not being sure what to do and making sure everything worked with the 1.4.6 update. This being the first time I went to my portal since I temporarily disabled the Nether Portal texture, I was amused to find the portal was all blue. =P Nonetheless, I went through once more, my view now on Short, so I could see the actual Ghasts, when they appeared. =P
     
    First thing I did, was explore up the mountain I kept ignoring last time. Nothing, though I saw a mysterious place across a chasm of lava, so I made a bridge across. Ran outta cobble, but I luckily had dirt, and thought 'eh, I'll just use dirt for the last three blocks', estimating it. It literally used three blocks, which I never pull off. =P I explored around, but there wasn't really anything of interest, except for glowstone I couldn't reach without it falling in lava, which was unfortunate. =/
     
    I continued looking around that spot, however; but as I was making a tunnel, my pick broke, so I had to head back. When I returned, however, I went around another way, headed more to southeast or so. After I spotted the first ghast of the session, I tried to kill it, but it was having more luck, managing to set the spot where I was standing on fire. I wasn't exactly pleased, but I survived that. =P I turn around, and find that another Ghast had crept up behind me, and was trying to kill me as well; however, I dodged a couple blasts, and then killed it with my first reflected shot, also gaining two gunpowder and a Ghast's Tear in the process, which I was pleased about.
     
    I continued to make my way around the Nether, but nothing TOO exciting happened. I ran across a few more Ghasts which tried to kill me, but neither I nor the Ghasts had too much luck. I also did not find a single Nether Fortress; I think I had horrible luck in dimension generation there. =P On my way back, however, another Ghast tried to ambush me, however, I managed to somehow predict where it'd be correctly, while it was off screen, and killed it without even seeing it. Pure luck there. xD Unfortunately, it was over lava(Obviously, I can't have good luck, can I?), so I didn't get a single thing out of that, but still. That was awesome. xD Did I mention that I'm now playing on Hard now, since I never turned it off from when I was playing on NightCraft's world? Yeah. =P And I got back without any incident either.
     
    What bugs me, however, is my death the last time. I found a portion of land around where my portal is, and it looks as if I was just barely missing the ground.(Not that it really would've helped, due to fall damage, but still) If I had've held forward, I probably would have avoided falling into the lava. I suspect a Ghast is to blame for that hole, since a ton of them were shooting me then, so there's no guarantee what they shot up. =P
     
    Anyway, I get back, and wander around a little. I fixed up one of the many cave tunnels in my base, sealing it off so I can dig the gravel away and see if there's anything good around there later. I also got more potatoes. I have an entire stack of baked potatoes now, and a second stack coming soon. xD I then recalled my glass issue, and went to go get that, raiding a nearby beach. I also traveled around the nearby segment of land, looking for a good spot to make a train station, but couldn't find one yet. I also found a medium slime, but it was trapped in water, so I euthanized it. But I'm still alive!
     
    I think that's about it. It was a rather boring session, since I wasn't entirely certain what to do, aside from the Nether run. ^^' I really expected to find a Nether Fortress, too... =/

    [Thank You BZP, You Can Now Embark On A New Quest]
     
    So; I've decided, with the very nice help of the crickets who kindly chirped in my last entry, to indeed start up a nightly series of Minecraft entries based on my misadventures in Minecraft land. I'm still not sure whether I should start a new world for the actual entries or just stick to my current world, which I would still play whenever I could. =P
     
    So, I need your help, whatever viewers I have, in two ways:
    First off, I need a title for this series, which is effectively a Let's Play. I was thinking about having a title that reflected what would HOPEFULLY be a nightly series. But Minecraft Nightly seems rather boring. =/(Though, just thinking about it, Nightcraft sounds kinda cool... Kinda cheesy, but when have I let that stop me? =P)
     
    Secondly, I need to know if starting over(With a completely random seed maybe?) is an idea I should do, because I really like the world I have now. xD(Thinking now, if I do that, I could do a second series, which I'll name for the entries I'm doing now, Minecraft Misadventures. I'll retrofit the last entry with that title once this is done)
     
    So, yeah... I need some input on this. If you guys have ideas on other things to write entries on, I'm all ears still, of course. xD

    [And That Is The Question]
     
    So; yet another Minecraft entry. I blame playing it so much thanks to the stuff I've been testing(Especially Optifine).
     
    So, today, I decided that after failing so badly in the Nether(See: last entry), and successfully figuring out the lava to obsidian trick last night, I would take a little break from mining, and go establish a new base. I had found a spot in a plains biome that was on a mountain almost right next to a natural quarry, so I went to go explore and then settle there. As I was exploring, to make sure there were no other plains biomes, however, I noticed a cave.
     
    I went to explore said cave, but I epically failed; it turns out there were three Endermen. I angered once by accident, which proceeded to try and kill me, but I whacked it away, and it growled, but vanished. I was rather confused, but shrugged it off. I'll admit, though, it gave me a start, as I was not expecting Endermen, especially so many. >_>
     
    Kept going, but all I found of interest was a few beaches and a connection to the ocean. Headed back, and reached the spot as it was turning night. That was fun, since I built the overground house in the middle of the night. =P I found out that my stack of 64 Cobble was not enough, however, by far. Repelled some skeletons and zombies who tried to eat my face, and managed to get up the outer wall, part of layer two, and the door(And frame).
     
    I waited until it was day again, and went to explore a little more. A creeper blew up in my face in a ravine-like cave, as I tried to collect stuff from downed zombies, especially when a skeleton ambushed me. =P However, I survived it, oddly enough.(I really need to change to Hard from Normal... I'll do that next log-in.) Continued on, though I noticed an Enderman was there, but then was not. No complaints there, after the earlier incident. =P Managed to have another creeper blow up, though no clue where that came from. 0_o
     
    After I collected more cobble, I went to continue my house. Found out that I epically failed at making symmetrical stuff. Redo number one. I took time to make a dirt staircase down the cliff, of course. =P Got more stone and dirt from a nearby cliff, and then went back to redoing the symmetry; and of course it was night again. Completed it, after redoing a whole wall(Since it needed to be out more). Nothing seemed to happen, though I got to layer 4, and decided I wanted a second floor to the house.
     
    To judge the distance, I tried to start my mineshaft temporarily. Only one problem; I misjudged the dimensions of the house, since I wasn't really counting out a pattern. I had a 6x6 interior(Though it's shaped like a circle, so there is two more blocks on each side, more or less, of space). I needed a 7x7 space, for optimal centering. Redid one wall(Redo two), looked, realized the back was wrong too, shook my head, and started to redo that. As I was working on it, however, a Creeper decided he wanted to say hello. =P Managed to not do much at all, except make it harder for future Creepers to follow his lead. =P So yeah, that's redo number three at that point, and I finished it without any further dramatic pauses. Except for running out of cobble, but it was still day at that point. =P
     
    Finished up the walls, made a temporary dirt ceiling, and tried to tunnel down to see if there was any coal; but ended up breaking into a cavern instead, which is honestly a bad sign for so early on. My other mineshaft in my normal base is riddled with caverns, which is one reason I have so little cobble. =/(Of course, that'll be nowhere near a problem once I get that quarry going)
     
    However, it was getting dark and I had no glass, so I headed back to the main base to drop stuff off, get other things, and try to find glass. Spoiler, I had no glass. >_> So, that's where I ended for the night; I'll get sand tomorrow, and then finish up at least the second floor of my new base. =P
     
     
     
    Say; do you guys want blog entries about my daily/nightly Minecraft adventures to be an ongoing thing? Or should it just be every once in a while when I get bored? Leave a comment about that, if you wish to. If so, I'll try and think up a witty title for the next entry, and then start numbering it. =P If I wasn't getting attached to this world, I'd make a dedicated world just for the blog entry series. =P

    Apologies

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: 882 Notifications What.
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, yeah, haven't been active here for the past week or so, yeah... I apologize heavily for anyone waiting on me. But as the alternative title says, I have an abundance of notifications, and a case of 'too many things to do, so little time to do them'. =/ Minecraft didn't help any. =P
     
    Also, also! I have a wireless set of headphones! The manual for it is partially in engrish, though. =P Doesn't matter, though, as it was rather easy to figure out. =P I also have a wireless mouse for my laptop that works fairly well. It was five dollars, and the headphones were about 9-ish, so it was a fairly good deal. =D
     
    Also, Metric is an awesome band.

    Alternative Titles: Route 4 Was Boring.
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    Pinwheel Forest:
     
    So, despite having this in my title for the last entry, I never completed Pinwheel Forest until last night, so it doesn't fit there. =P Also, I don't like being underleveled. =P
     
    So, tried Pinwheel Forest. Got curbstomped. Went off and tried it again, made it further, but was iffy, and went and mass leveled. That worked. =P So, then I went back, missed out on a chance to get a Pokemon because I didn't realize I hadn't caught anything yet when I saw an Audino, and simply continued forward, scattering Plasma off once again.
     
    Skyarrow Bridge is still awesome.
     
    Castelia City Stats:
     
    Party: Roughly level 18, with Smugleaf far, far ahead of the rest.
     
    Castelia City:
     
    So, entering the city, I go off, making my first stop the Name Rater's to change the nickname of Rockman first to Rockwoman, but then to RockGirl, because Rockwoman has too many syllables. =P
     
    Then I went around, grabbing items, gathering lemonades and Fresh Waters(Why pay 700 for Super Potions when you can slowly get tons of lemonades, that heal more for cheaper?), gathering up the Amulet Coin to gain LOADS of money, and then just curbstomping Plasma. Again. =P By now, it's kinda stabilized at a rate where I'm in between normal levels, and SLIGHTLY underleveled, which is much better than Nacrene.
     
    After raiding the place, though, I went to Route 4 and got a new Pokemon! Not a Darumaka, unfortunately. A Scraggy. Eh, it'll do; boxed SpoonyBard, named this HyperFight(The full name of Super Hyper Street Fighter 4 Uber Ultimate Deluxe Arcade Edition wouldn't fit, unfortunately.), and then went off and finished up the city, and curbstomped Burgh surprisingly easily.
     
    Then Bianca challenged me. Not too bad; I thrashed her. However, some memory of my old Black playthrough made me stop and heal everything quickly. Sure enough, Cheren was waiting to challenge me like ten steps away!! ._. He couldn't have waited until the other side of the route? Whatever, crushed him easily, moved on forward, short route is short, got Ultra Balls, went into Nimbasa.
     
    Nimbasa City Stats:
     
    Roughly level 20, level 21 for my entire party. Except Smugleaf(Level 25 evolved as well), Roadkill(Somehow level 24. 0_o Also evolved), and Vezok(Level 23, and now a Simipour)
     
    Nimbasa City: Aka, the Never-Ending-Sidequest:
     
    So, here's where I stopped advancing the story for a bit. Entered the city, got the bike, got to hear the awesome Unwavering Emotions theme(=]), and got some more items. Then I just stopped. Why? Musicals. Or rather, one musical, so I could finally get that last prop for Black! =D I now have a Silver card on that, which is awesome. Now I just need to finish up the Pokedex(Which should be easy), and work on somehow getting a 49 streak in both singles and doubles, and it will have FINALLY been completed. And just in time for Black/White 2. =D
     
    However, after I finished the musicals, I thought to myself, and decided it wouldn't hurt to go finish up all the Entralink missions. So now my rented game already has a Trainer card upgrade, and I haven't even gotten past Nimbasa. I also grabbed some trainers for my Black City while I was at it. =P
     
    And... Yeah. That's about it for now. Haven't done much aside from sidequest stuff there. xD Though, the stadiums are higher leveled than I recall...
     
    Stats, part 1: Roughly level 21, 22. Only a handful of levels since the last update. Will have a more comprehensive status update when I do Nimbasa City part 2. =P

    Alternative Titles: I Update These Sometimes After Posting By The Way
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    Route 3: So, I trained against the people near the day care, and then headed onward. And then Cheren shows up for another fight. Seriously, do these people have anything better to do? 0_o
     
    That's okay, though, I wiped the floor with him easily, and PLAAAAASMAAAAA showed up again, to cause more trouble. Cheren and I used them for target practice, and we were on our way, after I got two more team members, and messed up the name of one of them.(Molly the Lillipup and Rockman the... female Roggenrola. ; Needless to say, I forgot to look at the sign a few times. Updating that nickname for once, when I get to the namerater. Luckily, it's only one city away. =P)
     
    Everything else was fine, though.
     
    Route 3 Stats:
     
    Smugleaf: Level ?
    Roadkill: Level ?
    SpoonyBard: Level ?
    Vezok: Level ?
    Molly: Level ?
    Rockman: Level ?
     
    I couldn't remember the levels. =P
     
    Anyway, next is Nacrene...
     
    Nacrene City:
     
    Ugh. Started this at like ten or eleven at night last night; didn't finish until just now. >_>
     
    First off, I talked to Cheren, and went around looking for items, and then skipped right past everyone, and headed straight for the next route; hoping for a fighting type. ... Yeah, I got a Tympole instead. >_> I just nicknamed that Heartfrog(Random name is random!), and then went around fighting everything for EXP, since I'd need it.
     
    After finally getting through everything, and fighting the nurse for a free heal(To hopefully save the second heal from her for later), I went back into the city... A wild N appeared! Crushed him easily, and waltzed through to the Gym. I hate that place, I really do. After struggling(Not literally using the move) through to the end, with a reset because I apparently use the same techniques for a nuzlocke as I do for Fire Emblem, I got to the Gym Leader. ... Yeah, half those attempts can be described as being like the poor person who's in the path of a steamroller going 90 miles an hours. Even if I had've reset, there would've been no way for me to continue, if I had've miraculously won. So, I decided to train a little more, and then got crushed more times.(I've likely failed the actual mode like ten times now, game-over wise, so I'm just going to keep resetting from now on, while keeping casualties if I win a fight with a fainted Pokemon; selling all revives I get, for Super Potions. =P) After getting utterly owned one time, I decided to try Smugleaf first. That did better, though the second Pokemon was the problem then...
     
    Then I decided to use Growth. That was the trick. Used Leaf Tornado twice to reduce the opponent's accuracy to like nothing, and then used Growth while going 'HA ha!' at the Herdier as it tried and failed to hit me, before finally finishing the poor thing off with a supercharged Leaf Tornado. Of course, the first time I tried that, I underestimated the pure strength and speed of my Pokemon, and attempted to heal, forcing a faint. And since my last attempt before this had shown that the Pokemon up then could singlehandedly faint my entire team without even breaking a sweat, I just reset, and tried it again. That time, I just used Leaf Tornado before it could Retaliate me to death. Yeah, that worked, one hit KO, and I'm still laughing at how simple that was. xD Gonna have to hope for some fire or flying type, though, for Burgh... Thinking of trying to give the Liberty Ticket to this game, but I don't think that'll work. =/
     
    Pinwheel Forest Stats:
     
    Smugleaf: Level 20
    Roadkill: Level 15
    SpoonyBard: Level 15
    Vezok: Level 15
    Molly: Level 15
    Rockman: Level 16
     
    Heartfrog: I don't know, I don't care, it's boxed.
     
    Now then, onto Pinwheel Forest! One day has passed, so I only have 4 more. Given that in the span of almost a day, I've beaten two gyms, however, I'm optimistic this'll work. =D

    Alternative Titles: Nuzlocke Go Go Go!
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, Pokemon White Nuzlocke. Five days to pull it off. CAN I DO IT!? We'll soon find out! ... About as soon as I figure out how to delete save data, that is. >>'
     
    /EDIT: And done; Trainer: Alex(Not my real name, if anyone's wondering, just one randomly chosen in my mind from different past RPG character names. =P), Starter: Snivy.
     
    CAN I MAKE IT? We'll find out in five days! =D

    -=Entry=-
     
    This mode has filled me with a newfound hatred of The Scout. However, it is amazing. =D Pyro works well for everything except... Well... Other Pyros. =P
     
    Only played one mission right now, though. I kinda wish that you kept your credits between missions, but at the prices you get upgrades at, compared to how much money you get for each robot, I don't think that'd be possible...

    Mann vs. Machine

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: I'm Trying To Avoid Making A Team Fortress 2 Category
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, Mann Vs. Machine gets released sometime today. This looks very good, and should be fun. After all, it's probably the closest we'll get to an actual story mode or so in TF2. =P Well, that and we get to demolish tons of robots, which is always fun.
     
    The upgrade mechanics look pretty cool, too, though hopefully it's as fun in practice as it sounds. =D
     
    I foresee a rise of Scouts, however, simply because of things like instant respawn. =P
     
    Also, just as a slight reminder... If you don't already have me on your Friend List(I'm BZP Blade, just to remind people, since my current display name is so similar to others. =P), then I won't be able to add you as a friend myself, until I get Portal 2, which might take a while due to me having to get it physically for now, and that being an issue in itself. ;
  12. Blessed Blade
    Alternative Titles: Because If I Delay This For Another Little While Then The Demo Will Be Over.
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, yeah, continuing on. I accidentally failed, and fell to the ground, right in the midst of a moderator of headcrabs, zombies, and all that good stuff. With my saw blade up on the ledge I had fallen from.(I was trying to grab an explosive barrel, give me a break. >>')
     
    After 50 dodges form zombies later, I managed to finally kill them all, and two minutes later, since I'm blind and can't see a ladder on a wall(Hmm, that sounds oddly familiar...), I move on. Moving on, killing zombies with bricks and another trusty Saw blade...
     
    And then the Quick Zombie shows up. I see them jumping around. I ready myself, since I took a zombie to the face the last time I played. And yet again it startled me! ... Of course, since it's on the computer, and I'm playing with a mouse and keyboard, my reflexes kicked in, and it took a Saw Blade to the face because it saw me(Get it? Saw Blade? Saw, Blade? ... Okay, this is a tough crowd, I get it.), and died a painful death. Or painless, one or the other. I shot it with the blade again, just to make sure, of course. =P
     
    Now, the only odd thing about this, is that it's showing the 'download has paused' for the demo, yet I've been playing it all along, and checking the DL manager in Steam shows it's downloaded all of the data. 0_o weird glitch, it'll likely go away when I restart Steam.

    Minecraft

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: Wait Let Me Finish - Not The Full Version... Yet.
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So; yesterday, I finally gave in and tried Minecraft(Preemptive strike; I'm making a category now. =P)... Classic. My laptop can't run the full version according to the specs on the site; and I don't have a way of buying it just yet anyway. =P But, what little I got to play of Classic before the browser locked up on me was very fun. =) Managed to dig my way all the way to the ground, and after barely missing lava, deleted all that, and got back up, and began to make a case out of the green blocks. ... Granted, it then froze as I was trying to test the save/load things, but whatever. =P
     
    It is very fun, however; and I can definitely understand how it's got such a following. And this is with it on an old version, which in modern terms is effectively Creative Mode on Peaceful setting. =P Now that I'm on my desktop, though, I should try it again; it won't overload this time. ... Or, at least, if it does, then I have bigger problems. >>;

    Alternative Titles: Ten Hours Later...
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    Tag and category says it all. =P Wii's wi-fi is working again, and with that, comes online matches on GoldenEye again. How I missed it. =P
     
    Also, I got Pokemon Battle Revolution the other day, and beat it's single player mode in about two or three days, more or less. I still need to perfect it better, but I have a lot finished. =) Been thinking of trying the online, but I don't have a competitive team, so I'd likely have the floor wiped with my team. =|
     
    Brawl seems to be glitching for me, though; randomly freezing at times. =/ I'll try to get it working, but it might take a little while.

    Ahem. So, yeah. Got a few more good matches before I just decided to listen to music, but I'm just going to get off. Lost more matches than I won, anyway. xD

    Alternative Titles: Now What Would This Be Called... The Unconnected Master Sword?
     
    So; finished the second piece of the Master Sword last night; now I have the handle and the blade done(Though I notice the blade still needs some more work. Ah well, can't get everything perfect until it's all finished anyway. =P); still no textures, though to make the parts look better, I put some materials on the objects; purple colouring for the handle and hilt, and a silver....ish... colouring for the blade, with a little mirroring for the moment, so it looks like it's made of metal.
     
    Of course, since I'm only working on the hilt now(This oughta be fun...), I only have a handle and blade, both of which are unconnected, though it's really beginning to resemble the Master Sword. But, since it doesn't have the pattern on the blade yet, I'm half tempted to make two hilts; one unpowered, and one true form. =P
     
    Also, I asked the question on my status update yesterday, but for the engraving on the blade, and the gem; are they visible from both sides of the sword, or just one side? It's important to when I go to texture everything. =/(Have no real clue how I'll get the engraving on the blade aside from cheating and making a separate object for that. =P Gem should be easy, though it'd be a similar situation.)

    Master Sword

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: This One Wasn't Forged By The Goddesses - That's Okay Right?
     
    So, yesterday's Blender project... Creating the Master Sword. Yes, I just said creating the Master Sword. The Sword of Evil's Bane.
     
    It's an ambitious project, I'll admit; I spent a good few hours last night on it(Between researching, and actually pulling it off, I pretty much spent the entire day on it, but more prominently since about 6 or 7 last night, for 3 or 4 hours after that), and I haven't even gotten to the handle or hilt yet...
     
    But, since I pretty much completed everything I needed for the blade except reassessing the scale and other stuff, that'll be today. =P
     
    I'm using the Skyward Sword version as a base, since it's more detailed, though OoT3D's version of the Master Sword was my initial guide, if only because that's the only 3D model of it I have on-hand...
     
    Making the hilt should be fun, though. =P

    Bzp Returns

    By Blessed Blade,

    So; I hear there's new stuff. How does this work, then? Let's see! *Presses big red button, and things blow up* ... Uh-oh. That... Wasn't supposed to happen. *Frantically tries to clean up before the staff sees the mess, but to no avail, since the view counter notes that there's about 100,000 people who noticed the mess, and screen-capped it as it happened* D=
     
    Though, I think I've fixed it! ... Almost all of it, that is. =P
     
    Though, it looks like it wants a certain length to work properly, so we'll see. Hopefully that can be handled, either by me rambling on and on like normal, or some other method.
     
    As for the tournament, it's still on, but there might be delays, unfortunately. =/

    Alternative titles: Yes That's A Real Thing
     
    So; remember how I said I'd go and experiment with the GIMP while I was waiting? Yeah, here's the results.
     
    Link
     
    Was trying to think of what to make, and settled on my 3DS, of course. I also think I found out how the Nintendo guys decided on the colour scheme with the layers. =P It's not the best that could be done, and I know that, but I'm pleased that I got almost everything from the top cover of the 3DS on there. =) Only thing I didn't get was the slight slopes on the edges, and that's partly because I only just remembered them. >>'

    Let's See...

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: Another Thing To Keep My Mind Off Megaman?
     
    So. I've been playing Tales of the Abyss since like the weekend after it released. I still haven't grown bored of it(Though some things prevented me from my typical marathon runs during the part directly before things pick up in pace drastically. Like leveling and trying to unlock something. =P), and it is just plain awesome. And I know that by the time I finish this, I'll want to play other games in the series. Only problem there, is that I only have access to one of the other games, which isn't even a true main series entry(It's a sequel. =P). Tales of Symphonia 2.
     
    But I don't mind playing through that. I just wish I had ToS1... Even if it'd take up even more time than me playing TotA has. xD(I mean, at least I could put this down when I wanted to without needing to save. No such luck there for ToS. =P)
     
    Overall... I think I've found a new series to keep my mind off the lack of Megaman games recently. =P Only problem is that the art style of the game keeps reminding me of the Megaman Legends games. D=

    Another Story

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: Though It Doesn't Seem Good That I Haven't Fully Finished A Story Yet.
     
    Two titles say it all. =P Though, I'm still working on one story, so it's not fully abandoned, and likely never will be. =P
     
    Regardless, that's not the point. Point is that I'll be creating an epic based off Rise Of The Rockets sometime soon. It will mostly be an expanded variant of what's going on over in Unova in the RPG, along with adding some background info on the reasoning behind the situation. However, aside from name dropping of the faction Team Liberty, I won't involve any characters that were made by others, except as potential cameos. I don't want to accidentally get anything wrong. =P So, in that way, it'll be a retelling. =P
     
    I might get the first chapter up sometime next weekend, potentially even sooner if I can get it written well enough on my 3DS =P ... But, then again, with no tabs and pasting, I need a computer to actually post it...

    Alternative Titles: Zoom Zoom Wuhu!
     
    Yes, that was intentional, for the Alternate title. =P
     
    So, playing Mirror Mode for the Flower Cup. I get hit somehow right before the finish line(I think it was a red shell, not sure)... So, naturally, someone passes me. I still have a banana peel, so I try that; too far away. So, I notice I'm gaining speed... So I try to pass. Well; I passed literally right on the line, got the win, and spun out on my own banana peel. xD I honestly didn't expect to win that time, simply because of that! xD

    Alternative Title: So You're Gonna Knock Me Off The Course Eh...
     
    So. I've been recently trying to 3 star the 150CC courses... I've gotten three cups done so, and now finished my fourth. That was a massive pain, though. xD
     
    The first two tracks were fine, though there were some panic moments on DK Jungle(Not Rosalina's Ice World, it's one of the best courses on this game. =P).
     
    Then I get to Bowser's Castle. I hate that track, I really do. ' For one, when you drift after the first/second thwomp, you have a 90% chance of sliding right off the track, and landing in the lava. -5 seconds, head to 6th place. Then there's the underwater part. Multiple sections like that. -10 seconds, fall to 7th place. Then there's all the blue shells and such so that when you do get into 1st place, you get knocked out. I had to do this track twice because of that; I fell off the track literally right before the end of the third lap, and no matter how hard I tried, there was simply not enough time to catch up. So, after I beat that a second time, it was onto Rainbow Road.
     
    I was leading that more or less a good chunk of the time; though there was an absolutely cheap move right at the beginning, I somehow got hit by something, and got thrown off the track at the first ramp section. That was fine, I got back my lead by the time I got to the rings, and kept my lead all the way past, though there were a few times I was surprised that I didn't fall. Then you get to that spinning section that has the jumps following it. Surprisingly, I didn't mess up on the jump and get hurled into Oblivion(Though how I'd have gotten into an Elder Scrolls game is beyond me...); but my panic didn't help; I made a couple jumps, and then hurled myself off into Oblivion(There it is again!). I get set back onto the track with only about maybe a fourth or fifth of the race left; I make my way past those dang ramps, and hit an item box.
     
    LIGHTNING GET! >=D I begin to drift, and hit the L button as soon as I could... Instantly, the entire group of opponents is sent spinning, and some even get knocked off the track. I then start laughing out loud literally, as I pass them all easily, without even having a mushroom or drifting, and proceed to win the race. This was literally right before the finish line; the last two turns! xD When the fall happened I was going "NO, NO, NO!!" And then when I got the lightning, that turned into "YES, YES, YES, TAKE THAT!!" Overall just awesome, as i did not want to replay that race again. =P Now to finish the rest... *Starts the other 'last' cup first* No way am I saving the SNES Rainbow Road for last... That'll be even more of a pain. >_>

    Host Quit Fail

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: I Want My Exp Dang It!
     
    So, yeah, total opposite of that other entry. =P
     
    I dunno what I've been doing, but I should do it more often. =P Every second match toady on Goldeneye has had a host quit of some sort. In fact; just now, I got into a match, and it hadn't even started and the host quit!
     
    I must just be that awesome. B) ... Certainly doesn't help me get the last 8000 or so EXP I need to get to level 35, though...

    Resident Evil Demo

    By Blessed Blade,

    Other Titles: I Just Remembered Why I Don't Play These Games
     
    No, I'm not making a category for this, as this'll probably be the last entry about it. =P
     
    So, playing through the 'hard' mode of REvelations: The Demo. So far so good, I survive until the huge room with all the tables again. Then I get to where you get the scanner. Sounds good enough, except in that room there's machine gun shells.
     
    That's fine and all, Capcom, but where's the machine gun to go with it? xD
     
    Needless to say, because I only had one bullet left, I died very quickly after that, though I actually hit the zombies more.
     
    I said that I remembered why I don't play the RE games in the alternate title... But, honestly, I think Half Life 2's Ravenholm section got me some immunity, as while I jumped at one point, I didn't find it that scary. Ravenholm got more reaction out of me. =P
