A preview for something I'm working on. And it's not an MOC for once. *grumbles about spacing* ~D

I has it! And I played it non-stop yesterday. And I only need 3 True Jedi status and most of the minikits in Defense of Kashyyyk. ~D

I didn't write this, but I would likely be the one holding the guitar. (Or the mic depending on my mood)

This was funny... yet sad, cuz seeing Yoshi die by falling into the abyss is always sad. And lava. Let us never forget the lava. Remember, Lava is dangerous for your pets. Also, I own no part of this image. I just wanted to share it with you all. Kohaku

I bought Rock Band on November 20th. My guitar and drums began to fail within the first two days. I filled out the RMA forms and my boxes were sent. I packed them up, and by Friday both my new drums and new guitar had arrived in the mail. Now, my drum pads were what were faulty, but when the box came it included a slot specifically labeled as being for the kick pedal. My kick pedal wasn't faulty, but since I didn't want to screw around with and have delays (and since EA has no phone support available), I packed up the gear and sent it along. However... When they shipped me a new set of drums, they only provided me the pads and stand. There was no kick pedal included. So it's almost a month since I bought the game, and I haven't been able to play the drums. At all. To make matters worse, my email to EA customer support got the following response. That's it. No mention of a replacement, no apology for the confusion, just a "Well that was stupid...sucks to be you" and a link to the website I'm already using. I was on board with the whole process, even when it smelled fishy that all of this hardware was failing. But at this point EA has proven to me that they have no clue how to handle customer support. No phone numbers, no apologies...just treat me like a moron and move along. I want to return this game out of spite, but it's just so much fun.

Working at Wal-Mart I am able to get my hands on some goodies. Here is the group collection, some DS Lanyards and badges... ...badges of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Mario Party DS, ans Super Mario Galaxy. This is an Elite Beat Agent card on a DS lanyard, my Department manager gave this one to me. The text on the card says: Elite Beat Agents E.B.A. Elite Beat Agents Headquarters BEAT AGENT codename BA2 0687A-9877-PDT23 This is to certify that the wearer of this badge is a regularly appointed special agent of the E.B.A. Nintendo DS What does the future hold for these extras? Well, I'm gonna keep that a secret for now... Kohaku

Well, sort of. I'm not going to be on BZP much for the next week or so. Why, you ask? Because both Deus Ex games just came in the mail. I'll still be MOCing and stuff, but I just won't be on BZP much. ~D

I'll be killed by people on the internet for this... There are a few things about some Smash Bros. fans that really get on my nerves. (I'm talking about all around the internet not just here.) First is about people who complain about the Smash Bros. Dojo, I'll use a few examples. People complained about the widescreen support and the Donkey Kong. People said it was one of the worst updates ever, yet I think it is important to know that there is widescreen support, vsure not everyone has an HDTV however we will be getting one later this year (a.k.a for Christmas) so that is important to me. Odds are it is important to other people as well. On that same note, the "You must recover!" update was also hated by people. Imagine this, you've never played a Smash Bros. game, what if -you- didn't know you could do a midair recovery? Sure it is common sense, but not everyone is an expert. On this same subject, people complain about the updates. Why? You should consider yourself lucky that you even get these updates. With the amount of complaints, I'd rather have the updates taken away. Whether an update is good or bad, you are still finding out a lot about the game before it is released, so stop complaining! On another note, stop guessing what the next update will be! I've noticed people post that one thing in a single post on BZP. That is a waste of bandwidth, if you are going to post it do it in a post with a ton of other stuff. So remember only you can save the Bandwidth Forest. Another thing that I personally find annoying is the arguments that are created from making Character rosters, sure I have my favorites who I want to see in there but I'm not going to fight over it. Some characters have a larger chance, for example, I'll use Black Mage as an Square Enix rep, why? He's been in more successful SE games on a Nintendo Platform than Sora from Kingdom Hearts for example. Sora was only in one game for the GBA that didn't do all that well. The point is I see so many fights break out about these things, said fights are not good. Some characters have higher chances than others, deal with it. There is no way for you to change that. So people from around the net, you must live with that. Stop bickering about small things like that. True fans of Smash Bros. will wait until they are on the battlefield before they fight. End of rant for now. FYI, don't even think of trying to spark an argument here. Kohaku

So the guitar that came with Rock Band isn't working properly. And I haven't had a chance to test my own, but I've heard the USB hub that connects the instruments to the 360 is also faulty. Have had issues with the drums, but I'm going to stick with it and see if it's just me getting used to playing or the actual pads. The box to ship my guitar back to Harmonix is on it's way. Hopefully I can get that and the replacement before I fly out to Colorado in the winter. Otherwise the game itself is fun. The drums even on easy are serious work. I tried a song on hard and hit one note before I failed. ROUGH! So far the guitar hasn't been too tough, even on Expert. I have not gathered the courage to try the mic out yet. I give the concept a thumbs up, as well as the game itself. The faulty peripherals is a serious bummer right now, especially with the nearly $200 price tag this thing carries.

Today was payday, and with my birthday coming up I treated myself to a...treat. Gathered up a bunch of games I rarely play anymore (all my Dynasty Warriors games except 5, and the two LEGO Star Wars games....and all four Guitar Hero games), and went to Gamestop. Traded them in for a slick $150 bucks. Took that and picked up GHIII and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (hereafter referred to as Gundam Warriors) for the Xbox360. "But Torhu," you're probably saying. "You don't have a 360." Well, that was the treat I was talking about. I have a gamer tag, but only GHIII can do anything with it. And that's only for the time being while I decide if I want to sign up for XBox Live Gold on a more longterm basis. For the time being, I'm more than open to start adding people who want to rock out for a month or so. I'm also looking for suggestions to fill the Online gaming portion of my life (something I'll slowly be delving into if I decide to go Gold).

Rock Band launches for the 360 on Tuesday. I'm not bad with a guitar, and I'm learning drums...but I don't want to know what'll happen if I step up to the mic. So I'm looking for fellow gamers who want to start getting together and playing through the Co-Op portions of the game. I won't have XBL until after the New Year (I'll be out of state for most of Decemeber so it'd be a waste), but when I get back I'm going to be ready to rock. Feel free to drop your Gamertag here if you're interested. I'm also taking suggestions for band names.

Nintendo stole the thunder from my Fantasy Draft a few weeks back when they annouced King Dedede out from underneathe me. I promised that I wouldn't let it happen again, and today I keep that promise. T-Hybrid Franchise: Create-a-Character First Appearance: Dynasty Warriors 4 (as Torhu Xi) Why?: This is purely an ego move. And after all, it is a Fantasy Draft. So why not have some fun and think about what it would be like to have my own character in Smash Bros. Could I take on Mario? Stand up to Samus? Stare down Master Hand? I had thought about adding myself in the draft as a way to have fun with it. And it's my birthday tomorrow, so why not go a little crazy in the name of celebration? Appearance: What you see is what you get. I'm a pretty casual guy, and yes...I do own a jacket that looks like that. In fact, I've got two. At one point while in the dorms, somebody pointed out that my winter coat and summer jacket were essentially the same thing. Blue Adidas with the white stripes. As such, it sorta became my "look". It's not anything fancy, or flashy...just what I wear. And since my favorite color is blue, and the theme of the Haven is the Blue Vice, it fits in well. Moveset: It fed my ego enough to put myself in the game, but I'm going to refrain from making myself broken. Nobody likes cheap characters. And since T-Hybrid (or some variation of Torhu or Hybrid) is a name I use frequently both online and in games, why not make my Brawl version an amalgam of the various fandoms I belong to? Hsi standard attacks would be a string of combos similiar to a Dynasty Warriors character (I would be swinging a Great Sword, as is my usual weapon when I create a character in DW). Up+B would draw at the Kanohi Miru and lift him back to the platform. For Down+B, Hybrid would grab his guitar (it'd be from Guitar Hero of course) and strum a chord that would stun his opponents. A second strum while stunned would launch them back. Standard B would charge the Kamehameha from Dragonball fame. Side Smash attack would be a strong Throat Punch (in-joke, but he has to have it). Up and Down Smashes? I think just a standard uppercut for a pop-up, and then some kind of hard strike down for the down-smash. The taunt would be a brush of the hair and the little hand sign that Maes Hughes throws out in the Full Metal Alchemist opening. Final Smash: The theme at the Haven is Digimon (and the Blue Vice). So Hybrid's ultimate attack would involve calling forth ViceGreymon Code Blue and unleashing his Blue Heaven attack. Hybrid would perform an abbreviated Hyper-Evo (as seen in Digimon Frontier), which would bring his Digimon partner into battle. Then from the background, ViceGreymon would unleash the attack which would rain down from the top of the screen. It would be dodgable, since no Final Smash is a guaranteed hit, however it would be tough to do so. This is purely fantasy, but I thought it would be fun to take a break from existing sleeper hits and have a little fun in the name of vanity. Hopefully this inspiries you gamers out there to dream up a character of your own. I'd consider starting a spinoff of the Draft linking to other people's ideas if they start making them. Well, g'night. I'm going to get some sleep tonight so I can fully enjoy tomorrow. As a famous movie baddie once said: "Oh yes. There will be cake!" ...At least I think that's what he said.

With Brawl being pushed back, I'm left having to slow down a bit with the Fantasy Draft. I've got a handful of entries, enough to go for a few more months. Provided I slow it down to a new one every few weeks. But I like this choice, and I'm going with it today. Joanna Dark Franchise: Perfect Dark First Appearance: Perfect Dark (N64) Why?: Goldeneye brought the first-person shooter to console gamers when it burst onto the scene for the Nintendo64. However, it wasn't until Rare unveiled Perfect Dark later on in the life of the console that people truly came to understand what a console FPS was capable of. With it's intensive stat-tracking, various degrees of bots, and a multitude of bonus modes and weapons, Perfect Dark surpassed Goldeneye as the best FPS of it's generation. Perfect Dark showed that Rare could make something besides fetch-quests, and a sequel was long suspected to be coming until Rare was swooped up by Microsoft. I know I'm dreaming in this one, but Joanna Dark wasn't just a generic spy. She was a strong female lead that could get by with her gear and her brains. Appearance: You'll notice I used a picture of Joanna from her 64 days. Perfect Dark Zero (or Perfect Dark In Name Only), turned into a prequel, transforming Joanna into almost an anime styled shell of her former self. Her look on the 64 fit the futuristic spy motif far more than the khaki's a t-shirt look that she sported occasionally, not to mention her look in the 64 would be how Nintendo fans would best remember her. Moveset: With her assortment of spy-gear and combat skills, Joanna would come into the Brawl arena on a similiar level as Snake. Her Up + B recovery would summon Dr. Caroll to hover her back to the platform. She'd have grenades she could toss with the her down B attack. There's also her tranquilzer gun (which she could charge using her standard B attack). The higher the dosage, the more the enemy is recoiled/stunned. Her smash attacks would involve kung foo (with that fun swooshy noise her chops made ingame). Unfortunately it's tricky to make a moveset since she'd be under the same rules as Snake, which would mean no guns. This leaves me worried her best moveset may end up being very similar to Snake's. Final Smash: There'd be nothing more fun than for Joanna to call down a Mayan invasion with the help of her buddy Elvis. I can picture the spaceship swooping in and firing charged laser blasts from above as Joanna struck her enemies from the ground. Not to mention Elvis was one of the more interesting partners in a shooter. Joanna Dark is about as likely to make it into Brawl as I am. But that's just what the Fantasy Draft is all about.

So I just discovered that keyboard and mouse adapters for the 360 exist. *could therefore play Halo 3 without losing horribly* ~D

Yep, I have obtained that title. And I have Palkia and Uxie and Azelf I still need Mesprit... (I can't catch up to him!) and Dialga... (I need to get Diamond...) and Manaphy... (I need Pokemon Ranger...) -Canama

Here I am, just after two in the morning. So I checked the Smash Bros. Dojo. Now I don't care that Brawl was pushed back. An awesome update. Something that makes every Smash Bros. fan drool and jump with glee before hitting our enemies in their weak points for massive damage. The ability to... Create your own stage and send them to others via Wifi! Now then, I must plot deadly stages filled with many, many, many, traps. Also, don't forget to guess on the previous entry. Kohaku

I'm not going to be around this weekend, so I thought I'd make up for it with a bonus Fantasy Brawl Draft update. King Dedede Franchise: Kirby First Appearance: Kirby's Dreamland (GB) Why?: Metaknight may be the mysterious brooding villian, but King Dedede was the original baddie of the Dreamland universe. Well, until the very next game when he gave way to Nightmare, and later Dark Matter. But that hasn't stopped King Dedede from making guest appearances in nearly ever Kirby game since his debut. He's just as important to Kirby, if not more, than Metaknight. And because of that deserves a spot in Brawl's roster. Appearance: Though his appearance has gotten a bit "nicer' since his debut, Dedede has never been seen without his trademark mallet. And aside from his "toned down" evilness, Dedede hasn't changed his look since day 1. Why mess with a classic. Moveset: Dedede's known for his hammer, his ability to float (like Kirby) and his head-....Hold on a second. Not now VGM. I'm busy. ... Okay fine. What is it? ... They what? When? ... Seriously? Okay, wait here. Well, I got beat to the punch. Apparently Nintendo's decided that I'm too big a threat and have decided they need to start one-upping my little ol' Haven. Well, I guess that pretty much renders today's update pretty pointless. Boy, I had this whole draft planned out since I posted K. Rool, and now it's all outta whack. Do I count this guy in my draft? I had wanted to put him last week, but because they didn't announce anything big I'd thought I'd spring a surprise of my own. That pushed Dedede back until sometime in November, and caused this. If anything, I get at least half-credit on the call. Oh well, I've got an ace up my sleeve for the next one. Nintendo won't be stealing my thunder again!

So I picked up two games today. Bleach: The Blade of Fate for the DS and Bleach: Shattered Blade for the Wii. I haven't gotten around to playing Shattered Blade, but Blade of Fate is awesome. A really good fighter. I'm liking the music in it, it is pure win. Not much I can say as I haven't played it too much. Friend code for Bleach: Blade of Fate: 4940 3541 2117 Kohaku
