I was playing Platinum like I've been since I got my DS back, and I realized that my new Spiritomb (my brother gave it to me a few days ago) has a high friendship with me (significant, since I only got it three days ago, but since I did the same thing for my new Milotic, it's not that big a stretch). So naturally, I go to Dr. Footstep, and set it out to get a Footstep Ribbon. The results I got back were . . . disturbing. *Substituted for my real game name

My brother finally managed to corner it today around lunch, but then he ran out of Pokeballs. He went, bought more, and tracked it down, but handed it off to me to make a sandwich after he tossed and broke his first ball. So I picked it up and gave it a shot. And as it turns out, I seem to be better than my bro when it comes to catching legendaries, since I got it on my second Ultra Ball. The look on his face after I showed him was priceless.

I've been playing Mass Effect 2 for about a week and in that week I've learned: (No Major Spoilers or Minor at that but tagged for covenience) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «1)I have a bit of a nerd-crush for Tali. :blush: 2)I have no sense of direction...at all. 3)I can totally headbutt a Krogan voiced by Michael Dorn and get away with it. 4)Garrus will always be my trusty partner in crime . 5)Mordin is the best Gilbert and Sullivan performer ever. No exception. 6)Every shop is my favourite shop on the Citadel. 7)There are sadly no fish in the Presidium. 8)I am horrible at remembering to feed my fish. 9)I don't get what the obsession with Thane is.(Please don't hurt me) 10)I miss the elevators. *Yami*

Okay, so I found out today that Super Smash Bros Brawl has about 107million (107,390,170hrs) hours of play logged for all people everywhere. So I did the math. 107million HOURS. That's 4458333.3 DAYS. That's 12214.6 YEARS. So... Brawl has been played for roughly 12.2 THOUSAND years. ...This... is insane. Especially considering that each individual person has roughly 74.5 hours logged. That's about three days. So at three days per person... Wow. Kohaku

Zelda Timeline This is Kohaku's theory on the Legend of Zelda timeline. Much of the information seems a bit disorganized but I did that intentionally to seperate things so they could be talked about in terms of placement. Feel free to add on or dispute with your own theories. I do ask that you at least provide something back it up though. If you want me to try to get more proof feel free to ask. We will start with what I believe is the start of the timeline: The Minish Cap – Four Swords – Four Swords Adventures Eiji Aonuma has stated that these games are supposed to be the oldest games in the series, preceding Ocarina of Time.’ Minish Cap is accepted as first as it explains the backstory of Vaati. Four Swords is stated to come after with Four Swords Adventures being a sequel which takes place after Four Swords. It also shows the main races of Hyrule and has no mention of the Triforce. Also, Link's Hat. Four Swords Adventures also explains where Ganondorf acquired the Trident weapon which acts as the complete opposite of the Master Sword. The Trident is the ultimate Dark Weapon and a weapon that he would wield for a majority of the series. Ganondorf was also behind the scenes of Vaati’s revival in Four Swords Adventures. Ocarina of Time < (See below for the split) - (Child off of OoT) Majora’s Mask – Twilight Princess – A Link to The Past – Link’s Awakening - Legend of Zelda – Adventure of Link - Oracle of Ages <----> Oracle of Seasons - (Adult off of OoT)- The Wind Waker – Phantom Hourglass – Spirit Tracks Twilight Princess’s placement in the timeline has also been confirmed by Aonuma. Majora’s Mask does tend to happen in the child timeline; however I believe that it doesn’t happen in the standard Zelda Universe as it is a different dimension, therefore the standard Laws of Hyrule don’t full apply. However it is still connected to Hyrule due to areas where the Triforce does appear. It has been suggested that the Stone Tower Temple was intended to directly blaspheme Din, Nayru, Farore, and their Triforce. Also Skull Kid from Majora’s Mask is the one that you teach Saria’s Song to as well as sell a mask too in Ocarina of Time. I also believe that it is the same Skull Kid that appears in Twilight Princess due to the facts that the horn it uses is similar to Deku Link’s instrument in Majora’s Mask and once again he is playing Saria’s Song. The towns in Adventure of Link are named after the sages in Ocarina of Time; this cements it as a game that comes after Ocarina. With The original Legend of Zelda coming before it, essentially Adventure of Link is a part two for the original game which details why the Triforce of courage was not in the original. The resting place of the Master Sword in A Link to the Past is accounted for in Twilight Princess, and Twilight Princess appears to bridge Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past's Master Sword locations. Link to the Past also has a back story referring to the Imprisoning War. The Imprisoning War also known as the Seal War was a conflict that ensued after Ganondorf entered the Sacred Realm and laid claim to the Triforce, becoming Ganon. Ganondorf's seizure of the Triforce tainted the Golden Land, transforming it into the Dark World and Ganondorf himself into the beast named Ganon. He launched an invasion against Hyrule with his new army of monsters, made up of people from Hyrule that came seeking the Golden Power for themselves. This invasion was repelled by the Knights of Hyrule, who gave their lives almost to the last to protect the Seven Sages as they cast a seal on the Dark World, trapping Ganon and his army inside and restoring peace to Hyrule. The problem this causes in placement is that it was stated that there was no Hero to wield the Master Sword. Even though there are a few games which have events that mirror it. However, I personally believe that it isn’t featured in a game or the Legends of it have changed as they were passed from generation to generation. It is hard to say where it fits in put personally I would say the most likely amount of time would be AFTER Ocarina ends and Link is transported to Termina in Majora’s Mask. At the end of Ocarina of Time (Child) Link and Zelda make sure Ganondorf is caught. However he nearly escapes imprisonment and it is possible that he managed to throw Hyrule into a war before being imprisoned. The reason there was no Hero worth of wielding the Master sword was because Link was no longer in the dimension and therefore they were unable to get Link to help them. This is just my theory. Oracle of Ages <----> Oracle of Seasons These two games are interchangeable,however they also relate to Ocarina of Time in the form of Twinrova beings who were trying to resurrect Ganon. They in fact served as the surrogate mother for Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time. In the Oracle games they attempted to revive Ganon and sacrificed themselves to do so. This implys that the Oracle games would happen at some point after Ocarina of Time and this would be after Ganon has been killed. The best place for it then is after Adventure of Link where Ganon is dead and they would want to revive him. Also of note Wind Waker takes place about one thousand years after Ocarina of Time. Phantom Hourglass takes place no more than about a year after Wind Waker. Spirit Tracks takes place about 100 years after Phantom Hourglass. I haven't finished Spirit Tracks yet so it could still completely blow my theory out of the water. This brings the timeline at least in my mind to look something like this: The Minish Cap – Four Swords – Four Swords Adventures - Ocarina of Time < (Split occurs, see below) - (Child off of OoT) Majora’s Mask – Twilight Princess – A Link to The Past – Link’s Awakening - Legend of Zelda – Adventure of Link - Oracle of Ages <----> Oracle of Seasons - (Adult off of OoT)- The Wind Waker – Phantom Hourglass – Spirit Tracks And there you have it! Comments, criticism, etc. is welcome. Kohaku

I was playing 1 vs 100 on the 360 earlier (If you have a 360 and LIVE get it, it is free and is awesome). And I wondered to myself: HOW IS THE LAND MASS CLOSEST TO SOUTH AMERICA SHORE "GENERAL TRIVIA"? I go it right but it still perplexes me at how they organize the questions into categories, it seems all miscellaneous questions end up in general trivia. *Yami*

I just got ripped off. I ordered Lego Island Xtreme Stunts earlier this month from Amazon for the PS2. It said that the item was "Like new". I got it today. It was scratched up, and it didn't work. Now to see about returning it. -Canama

To kill Chaos the God of Discord in Dissidia... what does it take? Apparently my level 88 Squall. Beat him on my first try. It was... easier than I expected. XD Now for some AP grinding! Kohaku

As many have reminded me these past few days, today marks the 25th anniversary of when I graced the world with my awesomeness! Took the day off work, and spent it relaxing. Picked myself up a copy of Foo Fighters' Greatest Hits, and saw The Men Who Stare At Goats. But the bigger part of the afternoon (while I was waiting for friends to get off work), was spent rocking out with that new LEGO Rock Band game. Maybe you've heard of it? I'm a huge RB fan, and also love the LEGO franchise games (favorite thus far being the Star Wars titles). So I owed it to myself to pick this one up. Aside from the traditional Rock Band game play, there's a LOT of charm in here that comes from the LEGO name. While each member of your band (including entourage and road crew) has a default appearance, you are allowed to customize these characters using a wide variety of traditional LEGO parts. This ranges from more standard clothing to various costumes (I recently unlocked Frakenstein and the Wolfman). On top of that, the setlist is top notch for what is considered to be a "side project" comparred to the usual Rock Band title. If you are a fan of Rock Band (of Guitar Hero) I recommend at least renting this. If only because you can rock out to the Ghostbuster's theme (yes, THAT song) in this game. C'mon, you owe it to your inner child!

except way totally the reverse, despite my efforts. Of course, trying to pull it off in a dialogue-heavy game may not have been the best of ideas, but yeah(third playthrough in a week). am I the only person who doesn't hate the Mako? sure, it's like trying to use the stunted offspring of a jackrabbit and a mountaingoat as a horse. but it's fuuuuuuuun. ++++ I wish I was the one building this:

So, I finally got a new PSP for $130, it was the Ratchet and Clank bundle at my Walmart. It went onto rollback late last week so I picked it up then. As of right now I am borrowing Dissidia, until I can purchase it. Dissidia is a ton of fun, definitely an enjoyable game especially seeing as how it is almost impossible to put down. Even to post this blog entry... anyway I'm going to go kill Kefka now. He is not serious enough. Kohaku

just fyi, if it seems I'm not on much I'm off playing Mass Effect. darn thing takes up like 10% of my hard drive, but oh is it so frigging worth it. to forestall the possibly inevitable question, Garrus > Nihlus > everyone else

Hey all, sorry for the lack of updates. I can say that there is a fantastic reason for the lack of updates as well as the recent lack of activity. Trust me, he knows who he is. (I asked him to make an account here too, although he hasn't posted at all... yet.) In other less personal news, I've been playing many games recently. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Scribblenauts Fossil Fighters Metroid Prime Trilogy The surprise hit on the list is Fossil Fighters, I've known about it since E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) and then it looked like a "meh" to me. However when it released we kept selling out, and it still sells surprisingly well, so a friend of mine picked it up and liked it. Now I am borrowing the game from him... part of me wants to keep it. Or buy my own. XD Perhaps I might actually be able to get a review up of one of these, last time I said I would review games I got them written... just never got them posted. I apologize for that.

"Where doest thou wander, oh lady of the cinders? Upstairs and downstairs, and in thy nightly chambers... - Children’s Rhyme" guards+elevators+oil flask=instant hilarity museum with no damaging arrows=hard on normal. well, harder than normal usually is, which is pretty frigging hard to begin with. at least it's not like Homeworld 2, which hasn't any difficulty setting whatsoever and can be practically impossible if you forget to downsize your fleet at the end of missions

As you may or may not have noticed from an entry or two ago, I've been playing Thief. Well, Thief 3. Despite the first two games being extraordinary in terms of story and gameplay, there's a point where I simply cannot stand the dated graphics for long enough to complete levels. Marathon being a perfect example, some part of it, likely the pixelation, gave me nasty headaches. But back to the original line of thought. I've been playing Thief 3. "Been playing" being the key words, though this cessation is not, as with the first two games, due to a disagreement with the graphics. I've become bored of it. And not because it sucks, which it most emphatically does not. Rather, it falls prey to its own brilliance. The one level in the game I'll never replay, the one level I hate extraordinarily, simply can't be surpassed by the levels after it. So I'm bored. I'll likely finish it at some point, but it's rather anticlimactic. ++++ now why in the world did it take me that many lines to say that? I must be too tired to form coherent sentences oh wait pfrghblarh must perchance require more vespene gascaffeine

Hey, Ion Storm. Please to not be changing game genre in the middle of a game, thanks you. Also zombies in a stealth game is a bad idea. =|

(probably the only title that doesn't make sense to me in context, especially given that it's a watery level) Finally figured out a "theme" for Invocation so yay. I think I'm starting to get the hang of integrating fins into Forerunner stuff. peanut m&m's = yummy I calculated it, and I don't think I've touched any Lego pieces for like slightly under two weeks. maybe I should record myself sometime. I have a habit of vocalising whatever I'm doing in some sort of technobabble. pyong's filler skit = this has been some sort of rambling better titles next btw

So, Deus Ex is an extraordinary game. In fact, if I had to pick, I'd say it's my Game of the Decade. Except for one thing. The jumping noise. It's just... huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh huu-uh On a related note, the Firefly theme, Hero of Canton, and that jumping noise had a cagematch to see which one would stick in my head the longest. Still have no idea which won.

Is it just me, or is Desann friggin' terrifying? I mean the only reason Tyrannosaurs aren't the dominant species on the planet today is because they had dinky little forearms. Desann has normal arms. And Force powers. I'll be under the blankets with the door locked, hoping Tyrannosaurs can't smell fear. And prob

Almost literally. I can still sort of type. Finished watching the H3 Recon campaign leak. Wow. Vergil = :wesome: Although I have no idea how he/it/whatever can overshield ODSTs, since they don't have any sort of system in place for generating/distributing a normal shield in the first place, and I was under the impression that an overshield needed existing generation architecture. Also Johnson cameo. =]

H3 Recon campaign footage leak is :WESOME: I may just be high on the NGE soundtracks, though. On a related note, words do not properly convey how awesome Magos Kensuke is.

I hate Replica Assassins. And that's about it, unless you want the title source, because I'm ridiculously tired for some reason. -
So Pepsi is pairing with Harmonix to create one of the best promotions EVER. You buy a bottle of Pepsi, and get a code that can be redeemed for a chance at free stuff. I've currently cashed in over 20 caps for free music. And I have another 18 bottles in the cupboard waiting to be chilled off. Thankfully it's not costing me any more than my regular pop consumption, and I'm trying to mix up Diet and regular to swap my mix of aspartame and sugar. I have more songs than I know what to do with really.

I just got the achievement for completing 250 online challenges in Burnout Paradise. That game is so addicting.

Seriously, that was a mind blowing press conference.
