My progress report in Animal Crossing

Since I got Animal Crossing New Leaf on last Thursday. I working hard to my town to grow and developed.

This is me Mina Tepes (from Dance in the Vampire Bund anime/manga) and my flag is mask (from Phantom of the Opera)

I do change my clothes because I bought them from Able's Sisters Shop

Day 1: Paid my house *I sold all the apples, seashells I gathered from beaches, some fishes at Re-Tails*

Day 2:¬

My house is finally built. Then I change the bricks pavement to different one I saw at Nook's Homes. I paid it too.

I'm going to add a new mailbox: a zen mailbox then saved for new exterior: Zen Castle.

I'm going to try to add more rooms, I going to put new wallpaper and floors for each rooms.

Day 3:

Today I won a Super Star from a fortune cookie at Nookie's Store. Lucky for me

The Super Star plays Mario games music. Oh the fish on the side is Ocean Sunfish I caught on Day 1.¬

I bought some furniture at Re-Tails like the common bed from Clyde and Aloe from Bertha.¬

But I decided to get rid of Aloe and sell it at Re-Tails for more bells.

Also Day 3:

I brought down 2 presents by balloons. 1st present was this balloon bed that I'm selling at Re-tails

2nd present is balloon dog lamp also I'm selling at Re-Tails too

Both aren't mine type

I also finally got the town's approval rating 100% so I can start developing new things for my town.

Finally on Day 3 was 1st Bug-Off Contest

I won 1st place with Birdwing Butterfly with whomping 111 points.¬

2nd place was Clyde and 3rd place was Bertha.

Oh I forgot I met the old mayor himself to unlock the Island Resort.

I went to my friend's town (JP/Shen) and he let me to take his town's fruit and some his tropical fruit back with me so I can plant them and grow. Thanks JP for let me visit. I want to visit your town more to sell my fruits.¬

Day 4 I'm planning to go to my island resort to do some diving and other things. I may do 2 tourneys to get me a swimsuit for myself. I planning to develop first new bridge to get to my house faster and have an orderance as Night Owl.

If anyone who is playing Animal Crossing New Leaf and wants me to visit your town, please comment here with your mayor's name and town's name so I can visit yours with some of my fruits.

I have original apples, perfect apples, oranges, and now pears and some bananas and durians. I want to have a sorts of fruits from other towns.

resident4evil05 writes: I'm now a master. Return of Resi.

Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:22:43 -0700

Ladies and Gents! Boys and Girls of all ages! I Resident4evil05 has finally reached something that he wanted to do and that's
Prestige Master on Black Ops 2 Now I now not a lot of people enjoy the game but I have been having a good time playing with friends and random new friends that I have made off of the game. Here's some (sad) stats

Time Spent: 271 Hours played T_T
Total Score: 3,967,125
Total Kills: 27,768
Total Wins: 901
K/D Ratio: .98
Score per Min.: 266

Looking at those stats is really sad, really that 271 Hours played and I look at my anime collection and just think how many could I have finished in that time guess we shall never know. Over the course of playing I do have many Golden Guns and only one group Diamond, which is getting gold on every weapon in one group. The Launchers I have Diamond, (Which took forever btw)
Assault Weapons Gold: Type 25, FAL OSW, and M27
Sub-Machine Guns Gold: MP7, PDW-57, MSMC (Working on Skorpion EVO)
Shotguns: R870 MCS, (Working on KSG)
LMG: MK 48 (Working on Hammer)

That's it I know these stats mean nothing and so does these golden guns, but they where a lot of fun to get. I have some crazy stories from playing with randoms trying to win domination without Killing us which was pretty strange. To the people making fun of me called me such and such cause of my Pony Emblems....then me rolling over them and never hearing them again. :3

Now to show you guys my Emblems right now I have 13 of them and I'm pretty proud of some.
Shout out to MachinaeZero on Youtube for making awesome how to videos.

Which one do you guys like the most? I love my Fluttershy one of her saying "You're going to love me!!" I'll leave you guys be now I'm going back to playing Spec Ops: The Line and reading my new My Little Pony Comic got to find out how this story ends.
See Ya Next Time Luckies!!
With a Anime Blog next time! Look forward to it

SaudiFury writes: Next Gen For Me

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:29:55 -0700

Next Gen for me:

Well its been a very long time since my last blog, and this will be a bit of a long one given its games centric.

Yesterday, I bought and built a gaming computer finally. My build is as follows:

1.¬¬¬¬¬ Logitech k260 wireless keyboard and mouse

2.¬¬¬¬¬ DVD player/burner

3.¬¬¬¬¬ 1 terabyte Seagate 7200 rpm hard drive

4.¬¬¬¬¬ cooler master Trooper case

5.¬¬¬¬¬ cooler master heat sink¬

6.¬¬¬¬¬ Sapphire HD Radeon 7950 Vapor-X (Graphics card)

7.¬¬¬¬¬ Kingston Hyperx 8 Gigs of Ram

8.¬¬¬¬¬ Sabertooth 990 FX R2.0 Motherboard

9.¬¬¬¬¬ Thermaltake 850W Gold certified power supply

10.¬¬ AMD FX 8350 Vishera 4.0 Ghz, 18 MB Total Cache

11.¬¬ Windows 7 Pro

12.¬¬ Wireless Adaptor put in

6 fans in all, can control it manually or automatically¬
Option to add another 8 gigs of Kingston HyperX, another graphics card, hard drives, blu-ray drive

Still putting some games on it, see how it really fairs for me this summer. If my PC gaming experience just turns into a situation where Im constantly tinkering to get games to run on them then my backup is the PS4.

My job has me workin 10-12 hours a day. And then I got the weekend. So time is short for me, so in between working and life, I dont got a lot of time in my free time to be spending tinkering When i wanna play a game - I WANNA play a game.

Often during the week Im living on the rigs in the desert, and while I dont need to take my laptop, I do take with me 3 electronic devices in my backpack carryon. The Ipad Mini (books, a few movies, and lots of comics, and the odd game like Mass Effect : Infiltrator will get Deus Ex : The Fall), the Nintendo 3DS, and the Playstation Vita. I didnt think itd happen, but lately Im way more of a handheld gamer then I am a home-system gamer.

Anyways, gonna try to keep this short:

Watching E3 this year, I knew where my load was gonna lead me to play:

PC/PS4 (at home)
Vita/3DS (at night on the rigs at work)
WiiU (for occasional old Nintendo nostalgia fun) + PS3 (Legacy console with 100+ games for it)

If PC works out best for me as I hope from my massive initial investment into it then Ill be going PC mostly. If not, then its PS4. Fairly simple.

Games I was most excited for per platform (colored very excited, bolded excited, normal looking forward to playing):

PS4:

Metal Gear Solid V : Phantom Pain
Infamous : Second Son
Killzone : Shadow Fall (launch game Ill get)
Destiny
Final Fantasy 15 (wont get too excited, because how much longer is the wait)
Kingdom Hearts 3 ¬(same as FF15)

PC/PS4:

Battlefield 4 (havent decided if I wanna get this on PS4 because I prefer the console space for FPS multiplayer)
Batman : Arkham Origins
Transistor
Mirrors Edge 2
Wolfenstein : New Order (never been a Wolfenstein fan, but this game has DEFINITELY got my attention)
Watch_Dogs
The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt
Assassins Creed 4 : Black Flag
The Witness
Splinter Cell : BlackList
Call of Duty : Ghosts (dem dogs man, nah.. Ill likely pick up just for its singleplayer because Ive loved every single one of their single player campaigns however short they are since COD4)

Vita:

Killzone : Mercenary
TearAway
Rayman : Legends
Batman : Arkham Origins Blackgate
Final Fantasy 10 HD (when the hell is it coming?)
Dragons Crown

3DS:

Mario and Luigi : Dream Tea
Legend of Zelda : A Link Between Worlds

WiiU:

Wonderful 101 (I will buy the WiiU when this comes out)
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Thunder
Super Mario 3D World¬

For a full list of stuff Im looking forward to playing is on my wish list page on my profile, but those are the games Im most looking forward to.

I will not be getting rid of my PS3 and its 100+ games I got for it, I still go back and play the infamous, Uncharted, Journey, among many other games. The last game for my PS3 is likely to be Beyond : Two Souls, and Ill wait for GTA V to come on PC.

Aside from that, I started playing Last of Us, will be getting Remember Me on PC soon. Life is good, money is good, time is short for games . thats the irony.

Theres a lot I could say about Xbox One, I like Halo series, I thought Sunset Overdrive, Ryse : Son of Rome, and Killer Instinct look fantastic. But heres the thing, between the platforms I just said Im gonna play on PC/PS4/Vita/3DS/WiiU/PS3 there is no time for Xbox One, let alone adequate time for all the consoles I WANNA play on. Nevermind that I dont care for Kinect, nevermind that I dont watch TV or that that neat-o TV tech wont work over here in Saudi, nevermind that I dont support this restrictive/poorly explained DRM business they got going on.

Sonys had and got the exclusives that I love and appreciate, Nintendo wins the kid in me, and PC will finally be the muscle gaming machine that I can now afford to spend on.

Thats it for me, how about you guys and gals? Whats got you excited for next gen?¬

Starshine_M2A2 writes: Xbox One/Kinect Privacy Concerns Unwarranted?

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 09:00:07 -0700

In my previous blog where I defended Microsoft's Press Conference at E3 this year, many comments expressed gamers' desire to not buy an Xbox One due to privacy concerns surrounding the Kinect. So, perhaps it is time to reiterate. At the Xbox One's unveiling several weeks ago, Microsoft gave the impression that the console was 'always on' and would have to be physically unplugged to prevent the mandatory Kinect functions measuring sound and identifying the faces of people in the room. More recent information however suggests that some of these fears may be unwarranted.

According to Xbox One's own offical website, 'you are in control of what Kinect can see and hear' outlining clear privacy options that can be determined by the user at set up. The website also insists 'when Xbox One is on, and youre simply having a conversation in your living room, your conversation is not being recorded or uploaded' and that Kinect, when on, is only listening out for specific voice commands.

Anyone who is familiar with Alienware technology may know most of their computers arrive with software that is able to recognise the face of the user via an integrated webcam instead of a standard password when logging into Windows. This feature can be turned on or off at will. If Microsoft is to be believed, the Kinect features similar options.

Stephen Totilo of Kotaku recently published an article suggesting the Xbox One may not be spying on everyone after all and the confusion surrounding the console stems from mixed messages and unclear advertising from Microsoft during the unveiling. A Microsoft representative explained to him via email; 'yes, you can turn the system completely off' implying the existence of a power button. While Microsoft tauted the consoles ability to be 'always on', their failure to specify that the console could in fact be powered down if the user chooses is likely what sparked the controversy to begin with.

Some concern may have been brought about by the vastly superior Kinect sensor; the ability to see in the dark, capture facial expressions and the option to remain on stand by while still listening out for voice commands may give the impression of being watched.

On article on Digital Spy also confirmed the Kinect sensor itself could be turned off and would not record or upload without permission.

At the moment, the information being released by Microsoft suggests the console will not be spying on its users. The privacy options stated to be available appear to be similar to what is already available on the Xbox 360 which allowed players to block or allow Kinect and the recording of movements and fitness information.

Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:52:20 -0700

Hello my lovelies! I watched the E3 TV Preview and noticed a couple of games I haven't been following! Is there any other games you're looking forward to this year? I'm keeping an eye on the gems and plan to follow the game page to get updates about them.

Things have been doing pretty good with the new gig. It sometimes doesn't feel like work because it is that much fun. Our game will be at the NVIDIA booth so if you're attending be sure to drop by to check out the tech destruction demo, currently not in the open beta. Oh, I guess the secret is out if you follow my Twitter (HWKJody. The game is HAWKEN.

Lastly, I can't believe my last blog reached over 200 comments. Thanks again for everyone's kind words. I only saw one rage quit from¬ the site, and even he wished me well. Also, if you don't already have me on Steam (xpcaligirl) or Raptr (CaliGirl), feel free to add me!¬

And.. have a Happy E3 week full of exciting news and hype! I'll have to make sure I take a peek in System Wars this week to see what you all think about the hardware and games. <3

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:05:43 -0700

Um... well yeah. It almost stings me reading through my old blogs. They suck. Don't know if I'm back or not, but I guess I just stopped by again. Used to really want alot of posts here... 47617, now. Oh well.

So um... hey I don't live in a box with a fox, anymore. Still spend an enourmous amount of time online and stuff, just not hither, heh. Been pretty disappointed by the NHL playoffs as of late... I see that I have a very nice banner, still, other than Ottawa and Chicago gettin' a wee bit too close there. Changes, hmmm... Well growing (MUCH) closer to the Lord (basically my last blog was before I really even commited to actually becoming a follower) has led me to go to Bible College next year for personal an spiritual growth, then on to heading into a 4 year path in Geographic Information Systems... finished my last track meet ever with only long jump, because that's all I qualified for. Not that I was bad or anything, and actually, after an entire year of sitting on the couch (cuz I quit full out track and only participated in school track), I did a pretty awesome job. Kept up with everyone, was a forearm's length behind 2nd place, but got 4th for the 100m, and although I had to go pee in an extremely swift fashion and my bladder was starting to weigh me down, I still manged 3rd in the 200m... but only top 2 make it, so I only got LONG jump. My last meet, on my very last jump, I shocked myself by being able to still jump quite far with 5.49m which is just over 18feet. Not sure how that's possible cuz I practiced it like 3 times, but only strong practiced once, lol... but yeah.

What else is new? I don't even know, but I see that we can link to YouTube accounts now. That's cool, cuz there's no way I'd link this to my Facebook haha So... well... yeah. Not sure if I'm making a comeback to GS or nor, because the thought of what I used to be disgusts me at some points... and in other ways impresses me. I left this when I was 16, and hey... I'm 18. I'M AN ADULT! Hope I'm better. Here's a picture of a mongoose.

He'll bite your neck right off your neck.

Also, if any metalheads are still following me, this Lashmush album is pretty good, I think. Newgrounds is a great place to find any type of good music you've never heard before. I don't even know if it's actually called following on here, but yeah... Instagram has gotten the better of me. *cough*follow lionwholikestoeatfreshcoconut*cough* Sorry, I have a bad cough.

But yeah. I'll probably come back. Maybe. Really the only game I've been playing lately is Skyrim. Such an amazing game and if I get to into it, I still get addicted. It's crazy how amazing that game is. I remember bugbag was so excited for Skyrim and I hadn't played TES before, so I was like meh... come hither Uncharted 3!... but now that I've played Skyrim... maybe I like it better, I mean what? Uncharted is the best, right? Oh... ok...

Recently I've started posting on the GameSpot forums again. I have a tendency to leave for a long period of time and come back. I'm sure most of you know from time to time you'll get a post or thread that literally makes no sense. At most I get a kick out of the random selection of memes that follow to celebrate just how dumb the OP is.

Then I remember that at one time I used to be that stupid. Looking back a couple of years ago to when I first joined I must of been around 13 at the time, I'm nearly 18 now. The sh*t I used to come out with. Here's an example of a thread I posted when I started in¬Computer Hardware Discussion¬in which no one replied. Can't say I blame them.¬

My windows 98 internet wont work but works on my PS3 .Im using a brodband modem and a wirerless USB called Ralink.My internet connections status in the bottom right corner.Its a picture of the Ralink logo its black at the moment but when its works its turns from yellow to green.When run it,it say - Ralink Wireless LAN Card Configuration Utility is already running- ive reinstalled it many times but nothings happens,it worked before but it just suddenly stop working please please please please please please please help ALSO is there a way to like totally reset windows 98 like restore to like when you first got it

My windows 98 internet? Did I really just say that? I couldn't even spell broadband right. I find it hilarious because now I'm a hell of a lot better with computers. This was my first computer, it some oversized white tower running Windows 98 and I had to get a USB Wifi adpater to get the modem to work with it because it was so old. Whenever I'm in school if there's ever a computer related problem my name gets screamed out a bunch of times until I get up and fix it and it'd be something really simple but I always say to myself "You too were this dumb with computers at one stage"

Hey guys! I just wanted to jump on here and thank you all for your support recently. Some of you may have seen the report on MCV -- if you haven't, please¬check it out. Loads of people have since been in touch with some very kind messages, mostly expressing their opinions on what happened, and what's happening to GameSpot UK in general. The GameSpot UK Podcast page offers some particularly interesting feedback, all of which I've been paying very close attention to.

Subsequently, a lot of people have been in touch asking what I'm up to now. The last couple of weeks have been really exciting -- I've put out the first episode of my new weekly podcast, which not only reunited me with Jane Douglas, Lucy James and Dan Maher, but also went to number one on the iTunes chart. I've also been busy writing for¬Wired, appearing on¬BBC and Sky News, and updating my YouTube channel¬with new videos. In the next few weeks I'll be sitting on a BAFTA games journalsim debate, interviewing Rhianna Pratchett at the Hay Festival, talking about the next Xbox on CNN and BBC, and of course heading out to E3. If you're going to be attending any of those events, please say hi, and if not, I look forward to hearing from you over on my website or on Twitter. There's loads more coming down the line, but for now, please let me know what you think! See you all again soon.

Jane, Lucy, Dan and I recording the first episode of my new podcast.

Cloud_765 writes: Top 10 Endgame Bosses

Mon, 06 May 2013 20:42:06 -0700

I've been wanting to do this blog for a while, so let's get right to it. Some video games are great. Some of them have satisfying endgames. But some games, those really throw their all into the fight once the final hour has arrived. In this countdown I'll take a look back at my favorite endgame bosses (1 of which is not technically a final boss but is the conclusion to said game), and in the comments below, feel free to share what your favorites are!

10. The World Ends With You

After you defeat the Game Master of the third and final Reaper's Game, you come face to face with the Conductor of the game, Megumi Kitanji. He's passionate about what he's trying to do (spoilers aside) and he's going to do his best to stop you from beating him which would result in his objective not being met. He confronts you himself, and after beating him once, he transforms into his Noise form, a giant serpent called Anguis Cantus.

After defeating HIM, he transforms AGAIN after transforming with someone else (spoilers withheld), to a more dangerous serpent Noise called Draco Cantus. The entire last day builds up to this climactic fight, and it has a few small twists to the battle formula and is one of the only fights in the entire game you'll mostly be tackling with just Neku by himself. Needless to say, it is one epic fight and I can't say much more without giving away very important story elements.¬

9. Pokemon Black/White

Normally, Pokemon games end at the Pokemon League of a given region, and your journey ends when you defeat the Champion. BUT NOT THIS TIME. After defeating the Elite Four, a castle comes out of the ****ing ground and surrounds the Pokemon League. It's N's castle. you have to confront him one last time, in what is an epic fight between truth and ideals. After that, his own father and a member of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma, Ghetsis, flips out at N's defeat and fights you himself after revealing the full intention he had for Team Plasma, and you take him down and bring an end to Team Plasma for the time being.¬

This endgame blew my mind despite being 19 years old at the time I played it and having been into Pokemon for over 11 years. I thought Pokemon was falling into a routine, and while I really liked Cynthia in Diamond/Pearl, I was waiting for when there'd be a twist to the plot somehow. And in Black/White, N's success with the Pokemon League up until you beat him was a welcome change and not actually fighting any sort of Champion for a final boss with Ghetsis was really cool too. N having a legendary Pokemon helped crank the intensity up to eleven.

8. Kingdom Hearts II

HOW OVER-THE-TOP CAN YOU MAKE ONE STRING OF FINAL BOSSES? First you go through a strange city, then you fight Xemnas in a weird knight form. Then you have to fight him on a giant Nobody dragon. Then you fight him in the knight form AGAIN but you're falling from the sky but you look like you're flying and you have to make your way to him. THEN you fight him finally in his usual form but in a different white/black cloak in a strange void of nothingness. AND I MIGHT BE MESSING UP MY ORDER BECAUSE THE ENDGAME JUST CONSISTS OF SO ****ING MUCH.

The first Kingdom Hearts almost made it to this list too because of how over the top it was, but few endgames can boast being that exaggerated as Kingdom Hearts II. And you get the epic partnership of Sora and Riku, who was reformed from falling into darkness in the first game and now a sweet dark hero type character. It just screamed awesome for me. Cheesy admittedly, but still a great way to wrap up the game.

7. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

I love NMH2. I really do. It took the solid foundation of the first, and made it better. It did away with the unnecessary hubworld fluff (as novel as it was), and polished up the rest of the game. And the entire game revolves around Travis' thirst for vengeance against Jasper Batt Jr. and how he killed a good friend of his. Travis relunctantly assassinates his way through the top ranked assassin's a SECOND time, and learns that Jasper Batt Jr. himself is the top ranked assassin. He confronts him. After learning what his identity was (which surprised him), you begin the epic final boss fight with him.

And that boss fight ends up with three phases. You first fight him inside a small car and have defend yourself and make openings to hit him. After that, he makes himself buffer though some power and larger, and you fight what essentially is an evil superhero (looks like a superhero, but really isn't). After warding off attacks and knocking him down again, he increases in size AGAIN, in a parody to how final bosses progress in other games, and he's literally this giant balloon version of himself, and you fight him on the top of his destroyed office building. It's a challenging fight, but it's soooo satisfying when you finally bring him down.

6. Dark Cloud 2

Few games are beloved to me as Dark Cloud 2, and the game did a great job of wrapping up its story. You fight Emperor Griffin in his palace, only to learn that a dark creature had parasitically taken over his body and controlled him to do everything that he did. You then go through a weird dream realm and fight a bunch of bosses, and you confront the Dark Element, the real "Emperor Griffin", while it threatens to DROP THE FREAKING MOON ON THE PLANET. No, I'm serious, Majora's Mask is not the only game to have the threat of the moon being used as a weapon. Dark Cloud 2's world also had 2 moons, 1 of which was to be used to destroy the planet by the Dark Element.

You have a pretty good view of the second, fake moon and you have a tense countdown of 5 minutes to kill the Dark Element. The battle takes place on a small space of floor inside the strange colorful place near the top of the long spiral that you climbed up on the way. It's pretty atmospheric and the fight itself, which has the Dark Element switching its cloak coloring to grant immunity to long-ranged or close-ranged weapons (since the two main characters get 1 each) was a nice twist and added strategy.¬

5. Sonic & Knuckles

I have a hard time loving bosses in platformers because they tend to lack the intensity of a well-established RPG fight. But Sonic & Knuckles, which wraps up the Death Egg saga of the Sonic game timeline, ends beautifully. First you have an ordinary boss fight in the Death Egg Zone, which following that you chase Eggman before he jumps into his Death Egg Robot, and you have to hit the fingers of the hands he's using to try to crush you.

When that fails, he destroys pieces of the Death Egg as he follows you and attacks you with fire from his robotic nose (I'm serious), and a charged laser beam from the Master Emerald he's using for energy for the robot. In order to damage him you have to hit the Master Emerald's holding machine carefully and bounce off it before you fall from the platforms the robot's knocking down in its wake. And if that's not enough, destroying the robot doesn't end the game. Eggman tries to get away with the Master Emerald riding his little ship, and you get to chase him down and hit him while the rest of the Death Egg falls apart behind you.¬

Leaving out the Doomsday Zone which is a whole 'nother layer added on entirely, this is one of the most epic endgames I've ever gotten to experience in a platformer, and while I tend not to give Sonic & Knuckles enough credit, it did wrap up the Death Egg saga in a very cool manner.

4. Touhou Shinreibyou ~ Ten Desires

Not all of you know Touhou so here's a video link to the boss fight, because this might be hard to imagine what I'm explaining otherwise:¬http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIZG7Rb8yMk. Good? Okay. So the plot here is Reimu found a weird disturbance and had to find out why spirits were flying around everywhere. She finds Toyosatomimi no Miko and a small group of people who practiced Taoism and tried to become immortal (and had people stop believing in them, sending them to Reimu's world, Gensokyo), and then Reimu (or whatever girl you pick) confronts Miko. After this, an Extra scenario can be unlocked, where Reimu goes to the Moriya Shrine and is intercepted by the playful tanuki girl Mamizou. And this fight happens.

IT ****ING HAPPENS. I love the playful music, and the entire theming of Mamizou's attacks is just bizarre in the coolest way possible. Her normal, non-spellcard attacks, she doesn't fool around with and literally just hurls large orbs every ****ing direction, but her spellcard attacks feature her bullets TURNING INTO LIVING THINGS, including gingerbread man looking humanshapes, frogs, birds, and dog-things. Land, sea, air, human. And to turn it up to 11, one of her spellcards has her transform into REIMU HERSELF and shooting trademark amulets at you, as well as leaving behind frogs which explode into amulets (as opposed to the feather-like bullets they normally explode into).¬

I've only ever beaten her one time, but fighting her is so satisfying. And I have a thing for tanukis ever since Super Mario Bros. 3 and Mario and Luigi being able to turn into them through that power-up. And Mamizou delivered.

3. Chrono Trigger

After going through time many many times you finally get to fight Lavos in the Black Omen, and you learn that there's more to Lavos than that exterior meteor monster you've seen all game. Not only do you fight a boss rush of a lot of the game's bosses with Lavos as the proxy, you get to fight Lavos itself normally, then you fight a strange Cell-like creature inside of Lavos. You go INSIDE OF LAVOS when you finish this beast off because its head retreated into its body. And then, after THAT, you fight its core: a weird alien being and 2 small bits accompanying it...

Until you learn the twist that ONE OF THE BITS IS THE CORE AND THE ALIEN ISN'T THE REAL TARGET. Many gamers who are genre-savvy get thrown for a loop when they learn Lavos' last form isn't the unique alien creature, but actually one of those bits. And until you start throwing attacks around, you have no way of knowing, adding to the tense challenge of finally ridding the planet of the horrible beast. To accompany it, the background spans through space-time and you get to see the various settings you've been to, which influence some of the core's attacks. Really cool indeed.

2. Final Fantasy VII

You dive deep inside the earth through the North Crater to fight Sephiroth for real. You defeat JENOVA for the 4th and final time, and then you face Sephiroth, who was turned into some strange monster. You get to tackle the fight with multiple parties if you want to. Then when you think Sephiroth's defeated, he becomes an angellic god-like... thing, with epic latin choir accompanying this. It's one of the coolest final bosses I've ever gotten to play, and while a lot of people like to mock it nowadays, I like to give credit where its due; if not for this game, I wouldn't have played any other Final Fantasy titles, and Sephiroth is an awesome villain. I found the final boss fight with him highly dynamic and entertaining. It helps that his forms gain stats depending on whether you used the gamebreaking summon on JENOVA before him or if you have any Lv.99 characters.

1. Pokemon Gold/Silver¬

Yes, wrapping up our countdown is another Pokemon game. And no I'm not talking about Lance here. I'm talking about the game's TRUE final boss. You've collected Kanto's badges after defeating the entire Johto region, and been given permission to venture to Mt. Silver. You traverse the eerie, dark cave. You reach the last room of the final dungeon of this 60+ hour Pokemon game, and you see nothing but a single path forward and black void surrounding you (assuming the original here, for atmosphere). You reach the other side to see a trainer standing there, and approach them. All they say before you're rushed into a fight is "..."

This is how the epic final battle of Gold/Silver pulls you in. You fight not just any trainer, but the hero of the entire Kanto region from 3 years ago. You're fighting a former champion that stepped down in order to continue growing stronger. You're fighting a trainer that was the FIRST to mess with and successfully defeat Team Rocket. And you get that epic Champion Battle music that Lance got along with Red holding nothing but Pokemon obtained through events in Yellow (Espeon implied to be the Eevee from Celadon). You get to know why there's only 1 Snorlax in Kanto. He has the second one.

Red is in himself an epic character in Gold/Silver for being a hero 3 years before you began your journey in Johto. And you get to fight him. Not many games can make a new installment and have the game wrap up by BEATING THE FIRST GAME'S PROTAGONIST. But to this day Gold/Silver are my favorite games in the series, and not only was the pacing of the game great, but having Red as its final fight just makes it that much more awesome.¬

Wed, 01 May 2013 08:02:33 -0700

So recently I've noticed this growing trend while browsing online in the past few weeks of some new and obscure developers asking people to donate large amounts of money through kickstarter for them to 'develop games' and they always post milestones, goals and whatnot in order to try and encourage as many people to donate as much as they can.¬

I know it shouldn't bother me that much but it kind of does. I mean asking people for something like $50,000 and then getting it seems like overkill, but then what happens if they don't reach that amount? Does it all go to waste? Does the money go straight into their pockets?

Is this really a good cause to ask people for money?

"All life we work but work is a bore if live is for living then what's living for?" That was a great statement in a song called, Oklahoma USA by the Kinks, Ray Davies really brought to light a simple question with not much of an answer but anyways that has nothing to do with my blog.¬

Obligatory Ray Davies pic -¬

It's been quite a while since I have made a blog(since December exactly), so there's some things to update on but not much.¬

Lately, I've just been working, playing video games here and there, and watching tv and movies.¬

Back in February I went to Katsucon, which is an anime convention. Had a lot of fun there and saw tons of cosplays and got a lot of pics during my time there. I bought a few figurines while I was there and a FLCL tshirt. I can't wait for Otakon this year even though that's not till August.¬

Anyways here's pics of my figurines and a couple things I bought at the convention -¬

Now onto other things, I recently went to a movie theater(first time since I was 2) and saw Evil Dead. I really liked the movie and thought it was a great "not-remake" of the original especially since that part I added of "not-remake". If you haven't seen it, you should totally do that.¬

Also, I did play Bioshock Infinite and I loved the game to death, I definitely recommend it to anyone that likes Bioshock already or even doesn't because it's different than the other two. Another game I really enjoyed was, Tomb Raider and I definitely recommend that to anyone that's on the fence about getting it.¬

Not really much more to add other than it's getting warmer again so it's time for sniffles and dying of allergies again but I shall end this on a positive note and that I won't wait this long between blogs again or try not to lol.¬

Happy image time -¬

***SPOILER***

That's enough of that, Choas shall return in...next blog.¬

Be good, the Forest Spirit always watches you.¬
