Don't mind the last blog; Glitchspot struck again. >_< Well... here goes nothing... literally. :|

*reposts*

"If you don't know what 'Laliho' means, go play Final Fantasy IV. Preferably on the DS.

Anyway, if you're possibly wondering why I wasn't active the last few days, I was visting my bro at college... Yup... that's pretty much it. But, for my sanity, I might as well write a tad bit more. Here goes...

Stuff!:
Joy:
1. I had the chance to see my brother again, which was a nice change from having to constantly face my parents everyday. >_>
2. Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on SNL = win. I died while watching that.
3. Proto Man should be released tomorrow for Mega Man 9. That is awesome.

Irritation:
1. Regardless, I had to spend time with my parents for the most part. Ick.
2. I'm only at 8% of lvl 25; Go figure. I really need to get moving, eh?
3. Glitchspot.

Disappointment:
1. I did not get No More Heroes from my bro. Instead, I got some books.
2. The DSi is nothing more than a less-cool, portable, watered-down Wii (minus the motion-sensing). It even lacks a GBA slot. What?!

Confusion:
1. Where is HavQ-san? Has anyone seen him/heard from him lately? I'm worried.

Boredom:
1. School. Enough said.

Indifference:
1. I have yet to start posting my fan-fictions. Meh.

Yes... I am zany. Blame school for my lack of sanity.

Gaming Updates:
F-Zero GX: Beat the Sapphire Cup on Expert. The final story chapter is a pain. No guardrails and the most ridiculous turns ever is not fun. >_< Where's a "Falcon Punch" when you need one?

Final Fantasy IV: My quest to get the last crystal in Final Fantasy IV is halted by a moving "wall of death". Why the party (which includes a speedy ninja who can warp through walls like it's nobody's business, a dragoon who can jump miles into the air never to return, and a summoner who can... er... summon monsters that generally move faster than humans) decides to face it instead and hightailing it out of there is beyond me.

Dragon Quest IV: Over the excursion to my bro's college, I beat three of the game's five (or is it six?) chapters. I'm now on Chapter 4.

Kirby Super Star Ultra: Beat The Great Cave Offensive, although I am missing two treasures (out of a possible 60). >_< I'll move onto the final "game", Milky Way Wishes when I finally track down those last two treasures.

Right. I'm done. 'Til next time kiddies! "

3. I missed my last period of school on Friday (as well as a test) to go see my bro. WIN!
4. Nintendo has unveiled a DS successor, the DSi.
5. Proto Man should be released tomorrow for Mega Man 9. That is awesome.
6. Gurren Lagann. It's like Gundam, only cooler... and with drills. Still doesn't beat Gundam Wing though.

Gaming Updates:
F-Zero GX: Beat the Sapphire Cup on Expert. Unlocked the last chapter in story mode. Wait... Didn't I already tell you this?

Final Fantasy IV: Four words: Moving. Wall. Of. Death. That is all.

Dragon Quest IV: Over the excursion to my bro's college, I beat three of the game's five (or is it six?) chapters. I'm now on Chapter 4. One question: Why does everyone speak with accents?! o_O I don't do accents!

Kirby Super Star Ultra: Beat The Great Cave Offensive, although I am missing two treasures (out of a possible 60). >_< It's official: Master Hand and Crazy Hand from Smash Bros. were influenced by Wham Bam Rock (the final boss of TGCO). I'll move onto the final "game" Milky Way Wishes when I finally track down those last two treasures.

Right. I'm done. 'Til next time kiddies!

While last week was relatively awesome (school does not count, for including my school within a week's events is like "multiplying by zero". ), this one already looks like it's heading to the dumps. Oh joy!

First off, tomorrow marks the first home meet for Cross Country in two years. While I did enjoy the prospect of getting to run on our good 'ol course again, the reality bites. Our course had to be readjusted and now consisting what can only be described in one word: FAIL. The course is now ridiculous, especially due to the addition of a giantic hill that has no footing, whatsoever. This is made even worse when you factor in rain. My coach originally planned on cutting out this monstrosity if it rained (which it is right now; yes!), but some idiot on the team suggested that we should use tarp to cover the hill. What... the... *stops myself*... Really? I might just have to kill him.

Next off, it's been discovered that there's some kind of lump in a nerve near my maternal grandmother's ear. There's a 80% that the lump is only benign, but if I remember correctly, something similar happened with my paternal grandmother, and we all know how that one turned out...

Well, at least, in somewhat happier news, I finally made it to Level 25. Wow... I really need to get going with my updates, eh? The Defias Brotherhood is one of many factions in World of Warcraft. Here's looking at you War_Fox.

I also am glad that I'll be leaving school early this Friday to visit my brother in college. I presume that I'll also be getting a belated birthday present (i.e No More Heroes) when I see him. Sweet!

Gaming Updates:
F-Zero GX: A tremendous amount of progress made since the last update. I've beaten the Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Diamond Cups on both Novice and Standard, and I've beaten the Ruby Cup on Expert. I'm working on the other three cups (which'll be a pain) on Expert so that I can unlock Master difficulty and the grueling AX Cup. In Story Mode, I've just beaten the penultimate chapter and I've already unlocked 3/4 of the characters from F-Zero AX (the arcade counterpart to GX). And all of this within a few days. Not bad, eh?

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen: Not too far; I just started the first chapter a day ago. One question: why do the characters in the first chapters speak with a Scottish/Irish accent? I'm an American people! I don't do accents!

Kirby Super Star Ultra: Unlocked and susquently beat The Revenge of Meta Knight. Why do people think that Meta's evil? What? Because he helmed a battleship and went out to make the people of Dream Land less lazy. The most threatening thing he says that he won't let escape from the burning wreckage of the Halbred. And that makes him evil? Also, I now have about 30 treasure in The Great Cave Offensive.

Last thing: I don't know when I'll sign-up at Fan-fiction.Net and begin submitting my stories. I'll keep you guys informed.

Ok. That be it. Later!

Don't mind the last blog (The Week of Epic Win Never Ends). Glitchspot is at it again.

This is just a repost of that blog since GS is cutting off the words and stuff...

I'm glad that it's the weekend. This last week at school has been a pain in the rear. A very large one that makes me want to put my foot up the rears of the school adminstration. >_<

Yesterday, I made an unexpected stop at a GameStop. Apparently, I had two $25 gift cards that I didn't even know about. Can you say "sweetness"? I can! With them, I added three more awesome games to my collection:

1. F-Zero GX
It's about time that I bought this game. I've been looking for it for years! Hands down, this is the best racer on the GameCube, and one of the best racers I've ever played. Mario Kart Wii may have the deadly blue shell and Rainbow Road, but F-Zero GX has an exhilarating sense of speed, Boost Power, and of course, Captain Falcon. You can never beat Captain Falcon.

2. Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen
I've noticed that Square Enix loves to release remakes. Especially of games that are awesome! I have yet to play this game, but I've heard that the game is great. The fact that there are 5 separate stories that (eventually) combine into an "let's go kill this evil dude and save the world" tale is also nice, especially since few RPGs stray from the universal "one unassuming person bands together with even more unassuming people to save the world and the entire story is told from the 1st unassuming person's unassuming POV". I'll get to playing this game very soon.

3. Kirby Super Star Ultra
The first time around (back in 1996 on the SNES, when I was four), I missed out on one of the best Kirby games. Luckily, Nintendo also has a habit of releasing multiple remakes of their best games. This game is charming and fun (despite the general lack of challenge) and I like it.

Anywyay, that adds three more games to the plethora of ones that I'll be reviewing. I also just noticed that I'm only 5% away from Level 25. C'mon already!

Gaming Updates:
Final Fantasy IV: Still in the Sealed Cave, although I do think that I'm close. I've just reached the second savepoint there. Kain and Edge are still awesome.

F-Zero GX: Not too far, mainly due to the difficulty level. Keep in mind that's not a complaint. Made it to Chapter 5 in Story Mode and I completed the Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Cups on Novice. Not a bad start in the course of a few hours.

Kirby Super Star Ultra: Beat Spring Brezee, Gourmet Race, and Dyna Blade. I'm now at The Great Cave Offensive with 13 out of 60 treasures collected. There are so many Nintendo cameos in this game, it's hilarious!

Mega Man 9: Two days after the last blog, I beat all of the remaining Robot Masters. I'm going to complete a few more Challenges before I tackle Wily.

Well, enough about me and my joy. How are you guys doing?

Ciao! And have a gurfunklebunkerin' day! Peace. I'm out.

After the sugar-fueled insanity of the last blog, you should have seen this coming...

I GOT MEGA MAN 9!

(Well, I actually downloaded it yesterday, but you get the point.)

Yippie skippie! *dance of joy*

Note: This is not the actual boxart for Mega Man 9. In fact, since it's a downloadable game, there really isn't any boxart. But since the game attempts to recreate the feeling from the NES days of gaming, the production team worked on marketing as if it were the late 80s. Thus, the "boxart" is based off of the boxart for Mega Man and Mega Man 2. However, this one is (at the very least) 20x more "epic win". Note the inclusion of both a gun and a blaster, as well as Wily's red eyepatch of doom.

Actually, I'm not too far in the game. I've only defeated two Robot Masters: Galaxy Man (who is, by far, the easiest one to reach and defeat) and Splash Woman (don't you dare call me sexist!).

The game is excellent. It definitely aspires for Mega Man 2/3-esque greatness, but it does fall short. Maybe because it's as hard as the original Mega Man (go figure; the game was developed by Inti Creates, the same people who made the Mega Man Zero series infamous for its unrelenting difficulty) and Mega Man doesn't have his handy slide or Mega Buster!

Regardless, this is one of the stronger entries in the series, hands down. Plus, a fully-playable Proto Man (among other downloadable goodies)? How awesome is that?

Yeah... that was the jist of it.

Gaming Updates!
Final Fantasy IV: Just defeated Rubicante, the 4th and final Elemental Archfiend (thank God!). Now, I'm in the Sealed Cave, looking for the final crystal. Dark Knights and Dragoons are awesome, but Ninjas = pure win. You can't get much cooler than a white-haired ninja prince named Edge who can throw just about any weapon in your inventory for "massive damage".

F-Zero X: Boost power away! After a mere 1-2 days, I've beaten all three cups (the X Cup doesn't count towards anything) on Novice, Standard, and Expert with... Captain Falcon. FALCON WIN! I've unlocked all of the racers. The only thing left is to beat Master difficulty, but I fear that the Capt. and his trusty 'ol Blue Falcon won't win the day this time...

Mario Kart Wii: Not much; I'm just racing, hoping to hone my skills.

Mario Super Sluggers: All characters. All baseball parks. Beat the game three times. All in the course of 3 days might I add. All that's left for me to unlock all of the star players, and I already have about half of 'em.

Mega Man 9: Read the above section; I just explained it.

Ok then... that is all. 'Til we meet again!
