Pokemon White Review

      It may have been almost a month since it's release, but Pokemon Black & White is still hot on the charts.  Right now, I have the review for Pokemon White, since it's the only one I have, but Black will be up soon when I have it. Anyway, time for the review.

The Graphics - The graphics system it's using seems to be fair, but most people see it might think of it as bad.  But when compared to older Pokemon games, it is actually an improvement.  The 3D is much better used in this game and sometimes the view changes letting you see other parts of the world in certain aspects of the game. 

The Battle Interface - The way you fight is simple. Select from four moves that you have on your Pokemon and watch as your Pokemon uses that move.  The first one who KO's his opponent wins. The color rendition for the interface is also well balanced.  The red and white background mixes well with the move selection border that is color white.  Now, for the upper screen, most people would think that the graphics for your Pokemon is bad since it looks pixelized. Actually, it only appears like that since the Pokemon are moving, unlike previous games where they stayed put and looked lifeless.

The Music - This game actually has a musical selection.  There are people playing instrument all over the world that you can talk to and their instrument will play along with your background music.  Also, the transition of music when fighting different types of trainers is awesome since they match what kind of the trainer you're fighting.  Another note is the Champion battle.  It has one of the best sounds when you're fighting that you'll actually get pumped up!

The Menu Interface - The menu has become smaller, now only featuring 6 boxes instead of the usual 7.  Notably gone are the Pokegear buttons for HGSS and the Exit buttons featured in the older games.  But with it's losses comes a better interface that is smoother to use and cooler to look at.  The Save feature is one to be noted because when you save, there is a save bar at the bottom and your party Pokemon are seen while saving.

The Story - Pretty basic story.  Fight all the Gym leaders, Save the World, Beat the Champion, And your done with the game.  But there is something different.  After you beat the Champion and go to the League to fight him again, you get to fight a different Champion.  Turns out the previous champion was one of the bad guys so, he won't be appearing again. Oh well.

The Post Game - Compared to other Pokemon games, there's not really much to do after you finish the game.  Sure, you can catch all the Legendaries, but there aren't really that much of them and most of them take only 3-5 Ultra Balls or Dusk Balls after they've been reduced to 1 HP.  You can also choose to fight the Champion of the Sinnoh league, Cynthia, but she's more powerful than you at this point. Or you can also fight the creator of the game but he's also strong. So better be prepared.

Overall- The game is good, just not that much replay value.  Still, it's a must have for all the Pokeplayers out there who just love Multiplayer.  Game gets a 7.5/10 from me.

Valentine's Defined

     Valentine's Day today.  But for me, It's time to get my money. And pay the money I owe...  Damn, that's equals to zero gain zero loss...Sucks...

     Today, I was finally able to share the new mail forum with my groupmates.  Finally, they access to the Thesis I uploaded and stuff.  Good thing they don't know that I actually update a blog.  If they read my previous posts, I am so gonna die.  It has like, some of my secrets.  And Dani is officially my crush.  Yes, I got that idea from Kevin.  And yes, I blame myself for liking the same girl.  Jesus, It's not my fault she caught my attention with her beautiful eyes.  And her long hair.  And her incredible personality.  And her kind attitude.  And her strong, powerful, insults.  Yeah, that last part works for me.

     Too much info.  Anyway, it seems Sleepyfans is officialy down.  Bakuman fever seems to be (pardon the pun) getting cured.  Even don't seem to be reading Bakuman anymore since most awesome reading sites are down.  I would have been happy if Mangafox was down.  But no, they took down Onemanga.com and left it to rot so nobody would use it.  Filthy American Publishers.  If only they updated their manga released in the US, people would have brought their manga.  CURSE YOU!!!!

     New news, Joseph Tan(Mr. Philosopher) is now an official admin of my group.  He got it going on in his mind and he has already been influenced by my genius.  He seems to be the Logic type and can spot errors easily and makes good judgement.  But the problem is, he's just not too aware of his surroundings.  That could be fixed.  Currently, he is handling the Hack and Crack section.  Now all I've got to find is someone who will handle the Disguise and Infiltrate section and the Brash Arm section.

Another Ridiculously Long Title for Another Ridiculously Long Week of My Life

     So, notes for today.  Today is the batch cheering competition for my school.  JUNIORS won.  Yup, that's my batch. In fact, I have a picture of our banner:

        

     Hell Yeah!! I've finally added a picture to one of my posts.  Now this blog seems to be actually working.  Funny thing about the cheering competition is that the Seniors only got 3rd place or 2nd Runner up.  The Sophomores totally beat them.  Maybe it's 'cause they had an injury so some of their stunts failed.  But still, my batch won.  I am a Junior.
      Anyway, I did the craziest thing that I could ever think of in the name of love, and the Faction of Kevin.  He gave me a mission to tell his special someone that we need stubs to buy stuff at school on that day(because there was like a carnival theme on that day) and I added a little something and said that it came from him.  I gave 50 pesos worth of stubs.  I would have given a hundred but, well, I am quite selfish.  And now I've thought of something to help them.  I don't care how hard what I'm trying to do this.  I'll find a way to get them together even if both doesn't want it.  I can just sense it in them.  The roles of the King and the Queen.  For the Jack will always win.  That last line made no sense.  Must stop playing too much poker.  Anyway the next plan is on Valentine's Day.  It might actually work this time around.  I'll buy flowers, ask Kevin to make a note, leave it on Dani's chair.  Perfect.  Almost, if I get her chair right.  So I need to plan WAY ahead of time.
     Finally, I have to plan for my next week.  There's homework I'm not doing(OH NOsh!) and projects. So I need to control my computer use and start doing more mind training and late nighters.  Oh boy, how a sad life I live.  On a brighter side,  I learned that my classmate likes using Morrigan in MvC.  So I got to find a way to utilize my Dhalsim combos against her.  YES, it's a HER boys.  My classmate, that is.  Must. Prove. Worth. In. Fighting. Games.  And so here's a picture of Morrigan Aensland, who came from Darkstalkers, and was featured in many fighting games too:

     QOTD: Yup, that is definitely hot - Me holding a metal stick dipped in fire.

Ahh... Life

      Back again in blogger.  Totally forgot about this site.  It's an awesome place like an online diary that I can use.  And no, I'm not afraid of using this diary as a means to express myself. You know why?  CAUSE IT'S FREAKING AWESOME TO READ YOUR OWN LOGS!!!!!! Yeah, seriously.  Though this diary is better staying as a life dairy rather than a game designer's one.  It's so much more easier to handle.
      Anyway, I'm here to talk about the most fascinating question in the world ever asked to me.  How do you know if a girl likes you?  Yeah, that question.  Casey asked me that, so I thought it was interesting.  When I was answering the question, the only thing I could think of is a stare. Or a quick look. Both sexes do that.  A stare or a quick look is like saying that you like that person.  Then last monday, I asked my group mates in TLE.  Specifically the girls. Or Dani and Eriko.  Only Eriko answered but I forgot the answer.  I need to remember it.  I searched for it in the internet.  It makes sense, but I need to know more about it in real life.  What if I ask Dani?  I asked her if she still liked Kevin and she said no.  And she said it's the monthsary.  Monthsary of her ending her cruch for Kevin? Well, That sucks.  I'll definitely ask her.  And create a way for her and Kevin to get together.  After all, I am the 8th Overlord of Existence.  I also read that eye contact is a sign.  But I don't think so.  I can maintain good eye contact with anyone and it doesn't seem to be awkward or anything. hmm... Got to research some more.

      Finally, Quote of the Day.  This one is from me for a good tag-line for the Juniors if we ever use a tarpaulin and it has an awesome quote:

Ice so Cold, It Burns

Go Get A Life

Oh God! It took me such a long time before I was able to post again. So much stuff happened to me in the previous days. And they usually involved strange arguments. Damn. One argument was about, of course, the chicken and the egg. Another one was about how far into the future we could see. I was already in the 78th century then. Woah, too far in the future. Then a normal argument about Euthanasia, or mercy killing, on whether it should be allowed or not. It was actually for our Theology class, but still.

Now here's the important part, the Thesis. Last wednesday, our class was separated into 7 groups to discuss about the thesis. We had to make a topic which was related to Engineering and Architecture. Some topics we used were about how people could escape from the fire exit because of how narrow it was. Another one was the effects of the narrowness of the parking lot on the cars and school buses that parked there. It was hard to think of a good topic related to engineering. I thought of the effect of stairs on the students when they go up to the classrooms. There was also the idea of the effects of the brownouts in school to the students focus on studying. Anyway, it was that. I'm thinking of better ideas than that. What could be better ideas?

Seriously, What is up with my 15 Days of My Life memoir? I did not make a 7th and 8th day yet. Good thing I have good memory. Maybe I'll write it it down on the 9th day. Holy! I'm already on the 8th day! And tomorrow's the 9th! Well, how surprising. I just might finish it. Though I still have problems in my own life that I can't fix. Like how I don't know what love is, How the hell on earth I can do ninja moves with my large body, Why I'm such an asshole, And finally, Why I'm writing down blogs that nobody even reads? Seriously, It's just like talking to myself and asking myself these questions. Some people should seriously read my blog. Why? Cause it's boring and exciting at the same time. It's like I'm advertising this.

Now, onto my final words. I'm going to put this on every blog here on out for the ending to be different from the rest. I'll usually put a quote that I made up or a quote that somebody else made and comment on it. So here it is:

"If you backstab, do it in front of the person so he'll know it him you're stabbing"

A Funny Day filled with Mishaps(WTF that is), Mistakes, and Chicken or Egg Arguments

Seriously, I have so much too say about this day. Let's start to when I got to school. We were discussing the play and I kept on saying that the opening was the best part. Trust me, It was good for perverts like me. Still, the play was pretty good except for the parts were they were trying to make it funny. It was a freaking tragedy, NOT a comedy. I also went to school early expecting us to do the Chemistry PT. But it was actually still on Thursday. Damn, that sucks. During lunch, there was a fried ice cream store. We wanted to go buy ice cream but the line was long. Still, George wanted to buy, but he didn't have enough money. So he told Tan for some money, he will buy ice cream, and they will share it. Gay move. FAIL.

After Lunch, Me and Tan went to our Physical Education class. Since our teacher was not yet there and we were bored, some classmates of ours and us were having an argument about which came first, the chicken or the egg? I said that since Dinosaurs laid eggs, the egg came first. Another said that It was a chicken egg we were talking about, so the chicken came first. Then, we talked about how chickens and dinosaurs were related and if we go to a restaurant we'd like order a Modern Day T-Rex. Yeah, it was totally like that. Then, We had free time. But I had to go assist my classmate take his make-up exam in PE. So he would get a better grade. After that, Geometry. We had the elimination for the Math quiz bee. I got a score of 26. The highest in our class was 48. And obviously, It was Casey.

Recess time was boring. I got almost nothing to do except to write 15 Days of My Life.

But some people were playing with fire at the back of the room so I went there. But it was still boring. Then, finally it was Chemistry. We studied about oxidizing and reducing agents. We also had a lesson about conversion. After that, we practiced for our magic show. There was this event where we used the good ol' volcano reaction. It was good. We also did a rocket show with Mentos and Coke. Sometimes it exploded, at other times, it did not. Then, we tried doing some fire tricks. Our leader lit a piece of paper with alcohol up and she took of the fire with one blow. One of the funnier parts of what happened during that time is how the fire can't be put out and was spreading. Then, the paper was blow away with the fire to my other classmates skirt. I was like laughing because of how much of a fail it was. And the usual things happened until class ended. And then it was dismissal time. I went down and got my other stuff from the locker. I was with some friends, discussing random stuff. I searched for Bystander and Observer downstairs but they weren't there yet. Then I found them and discussed about the gifts we were going to give to each other.

Oh well, that's pretty much my day. Yeah sure, They're saying I got a crush on a classmate of mine but, well, it's not really true. She, like, well, is kind of annoying but in a funny way. And she's got a boyfriend. Besides, I like myself better and my amazing genius. I've got too much pride to like somebody else.

Something about a band?

Today, was a not-so-boring-though-still-boring day. Incredible right? Yeah cause I do not know what to do. Well, today, I had made the second day page of my 15 day memoir. See, I still spelt it right! Man, It was one of my shorter notes(out of 2). Hey wait a minute! It' Sunday! That probably explains the weird feeling I have right now. All that I did today was go to the mall. I know I'm being rhetorical, but I've seriously got to tell everyone that I can't find Spawn#200. I like went to the comic book store to find Spawn and buy it. But NO. It was so not there. Then I went to the record store to find Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. And it was also NOT there! Wouldn't you be pissed if you were me?

Anyway, I pretty much had nothing to do today. Though there is something I should ask my classmates or people from Section 1. It's about who the chick in the play was that Bill found hot and that others(Ethan, Angelico "Angel", Random Guy # 3). Well, I got nothing else to say so, Out for now...
