Dream Smoke

Some games I finished since May, taken from my post in the UTAMA forums:

Finished Lux-Pain recently. Yes, I suffered through the whole thing in english. They really ruined what could have been a pretty good story experience, imo. The artwork, voice acting, and plot was pretty good. They could have had the decency to actually try translating the text properly rather than using Babelfish (which is what their finished product resembles).

Also finished playing through Trauma Team. That game is godly. I especially enjoyed the Diagnostics and Forensics modes. I've been keeping the game's soundtrack on loop~. I liked that the Diagnostics mode strongly reminded me of the things we learned LMP301, and I thought the new game modes was a pretty good success playing off the surgery from previous games.

Trying to play through Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days now, with a bit of Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Now some random Pokémon stuff, due to Pokemon BW hype.


Enough to make a Bonsly cry real tears.


Why is that so creepy. ;_; But Dragon/Poison sounds pretty cool.


All the Gen I-IV (+2 from Gen V) gather for a group photo. Very nice.

Glasses Case

I am still playing Animal Crossing: Wild World fairly consistently nowadays, but somehow today I felt compelled to revisit my Gamecube file for Animal Crossing.


It was rather nostalgic. Apparently I hadn't played the Gamecube version for 28 months, also evidenced by the fact that I'm standing in a field of weeds. I was pleasantly reminded of the roundabout chores that the animals gave you such as retrieving the glasses cases or organizers they've lent to others, for whatever reason. I also confusedly ended up asking Blathers to explain to me what the museum was until I realised that you had to mail fossils to the museum rather than have Blathers personally appraise them (a change I'm glad happened in AC:WW). Meeting the old villagers was nice too.

Also, sometimes Animal Crossing is not quite rated E.


Haha, Chuck is awesome.

Now back to human bio. Reading Week was so short-lived. :(

Electroplankton

Summer is the best time to go bug hunting and fishing in AC:WW. The range of varieties available is extensive. Fishing becomes most exciting because you can catch things like seahorses, blue marlins, clownfish, and even:



Sharks! :o It's cool because when you see their silhouette under the water you actually see their dorsal fins.

On an even cooler note, tonight I just saw another one of these dorsal fins sticking out and caught it expecting another shark, perhaps a hammerhead. But instead this thing came out:



The huge thing at the top left, bigger than the coelacanth beside it. It's an ocean sunfish, and according to Wiki, they do often get mistaken for sharks because they often swim close to the surface, so the game got it right to that aspect.

Apparently the sunfish also occationally breach from the water, and sometimes the float sideways near the surface so that birds can come down and pick food off it. The breaching is probably a method of expelling more parasites from its body. :S

What ho!

Yay, the snow melted! Everything is green and pretty now. I call my expression in the photo, "Struck in the Face by Spring".

*looks out own window*
*it's snowing*
*sighs*

Edit: Plus flowers.

This can must be no larger than a tooth filling. What is its optimal colour?

Mirthful Consequent 365-Day Period!

*Text says NEW YEAR! but scrolling text is appearantly a no-go.

Happy New Year, as we ring in another even numbered year. What new and tantalizing events and scandals will the next 12 months eventually bring forward?

I don't really partake in traditions such as "resolutions" or "reminiscence", but I like the fireworks!

Zaheer has been in the new year 9.5 hours before us. We have some catching up to do.

First thing eaten in 2006: Kinder Chocolate
First thing drunk in 2006: Spumante Bambino sparkling wine
First thing played with in 2006: Animal Crossing: Wild World
First thing resumed in 2006 after celebrations: Eating funky chocolate layered cake

I commented about the odd/evenness of the year last year too. I don't really change do I...

100% Inelastic Project Expectations

This week must end. Like, right now. *claps hands twice*


*checks clock*
...Didn't work, did it?

He's totally going to do this to me.
Seriously, there IS good stuff in there from time to time.

My feelings

The portion of honour

SNOW.

That sums up the significant happenings of today.



That's the constellation Pyromus :O

There's one of these fun comments for each fish and insect. *heavenly vocal chord*
