This Isn’t the End, Just the Close of a Chapter.

Hello.

 

As you could probably tell, I failed to ‘come back’ like I said I was going to.

 

I just wasn’t feeling it. [I was, however, feeling lazy. That’s actually one of the big roots of this.]

 

As much as it pains me to say this, I’m not going to post on here anymore, at least for now. I doubt I’ll ever pick it back up, but it’s here if I ever want to, I guess.

 

I’m going to leave the blog up for archive purposes, or something.

 

I want to thank you all for reading the bit of my heart that I put out to the world. [That sounds sappy and entirely unlike me. Oh well.]

 

I do have another blog I write off and on. artismyair.wordpress.com

If you want to visit it, I would be very happy to have you ^.^

 

Thank you for sharing this journey with me! And I hope you join me in my next one!

 

Signing off,

My Death Star is TARDIS Blue ^ ^

 

P.S. This is one of the most awkward things I’ve ever written lol Sorry if it seems disjointed XD

I’ve Returned… Hopefully!

After 3 months, I have finally returned! I really only meant to stay away for one, but things kept piling up, and I started procrastinating.

 

Looking back over my posts, I realize I had gotten away from what had been my original intention when I started this blog. My original intention was to post DIY-type-things and reviews, not the geeky-news-stuff that I had started posting.

 

I am going to keep a straighter head, and hopefully not overwork myself again.

 

To the future!

I’ll be back! …later.

Okay. As a few of you might have noticed, I’ve been posting a lot less lately than usual. Also, my writing in general has just started declining. A lot of crazy, stressful stuff has been happening lately, and writing really hasn’t been the first thing on my mind. This was not a rash decision. I’ve been thinking on this for a while, and it seemed like the right thing to do.

 

That being said, I have decided to go on hiatus… if that’s the right terminology.

 

As the title says, I will be back, just… later. I will still be reading and responding to comments.

 

*muttering* anything else I forgot to say… *end muttering*

 

I think that’s pretty much it! Thanks to all of you who supported me…

 

NO. This sounds like a goodbye! It’s not!

 

It’s an:

 

Until next time.

What I’ve Been Playing: Super Smash Bros. Brawl — Wii

Wow. It’s been a while since I last posted. I gotta get better about this. Anyway…

 

Yes, I went out and bought Smash Brawl. I got it last week, and normally I would’ve posted… wow. This seems so off-kilter. Lemme see.

 

Note that pretty much everything I say is a comparison to the 3DS version, because that’s the only other version I’ve played.

 

The Subspace Emissary is awesome. It reminds me of Smash Run in 3DS, which is my favorite mode, so I guess that makes sense. The Classic Smash is a bit different in that it has around 13 stages instead of the 5 or 6 that are in 3DS. It makes for longer playing time, and more chances to die… ugh. I’ve not really played much else.

 

I’ll probably have an In-Depth Post Play review for this like I did for 3DS.

 

Tomorrow will probably be an Anime review. Until then.

Batman #39 Review: Joker’s origin will never be revealed (which is a good thing)

Girl-On-Comic-Book-World

Big spoilers about to follow for Batman #39: so heroes unite with villains and butler’s hands get chopped off, the Joker is fear and chaos personified, especially because his character is such an enigma. There’s been a lot of (misinformed) whining about the Joker’s ‘new origin’ in this Batman: Endgame arc, but I think Batman #39 made it pretty clear, that there is no definitive Joker origin. So let’s discuss Batman #39!

What I’ve Been Playing: The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask!!! — 3DS

Okay. I actually got Majora’s Mask last Thursday, but stuff happened. Yeah.

 

Oh my goodness. The ocarina is such a good gameplay mechanic. I mean, I never played Ocarina of Time, so it’s new to me. I’ve not played very much yet; I’m in the middle of the swamp stage. I need to figure out how to ‘learn how to use magic beans’. It’s probably some super easy thing that I’m missing, but whatever. I’ll figure it out eventually. Also, since I have the un-new 3DS, I don’t have a C-Stick, and I only have two trigger buttons instead of four. It’s kind of annoying, because the camera angle could be better. And I could have four hot keys instead of two. But it’s not a big deal.

 

So far, it’s awesome.

 

Well… this was rather short.

Anime Review: Death Note

Okay.

So while all my friends went off and watched Fullmetal Alchemist, I went off and watched this. It’s so awesome! I watched the 37 episodes in three days on YouTube. If that tells you anything.

 

Before I’d started watching Death Note, I’d heard of it a few times, but I really knew nothing going in.

 

And meanwhile, I’m still in the middle of Kirby: Right Back At Ya! and Fullmetal Alchemist. But, I watched Death Note. I guess the others are rather happy, while Death Note was morbid…

 

My favorite characters were L and Near in their respective times. Light was cool for a while, but what happened in episode 25 (no spoilers for once!) really put me off. Also, if the finale had been better in Light’s respect (*cough* whiny child *cough*), that would’ve been cool.

 

My least favorite character would probably be Misa. And it was funny, ‘cuz’ she reminded me a lot of Harley Quinn (I’m sorry…), but I like Harley Quinn. I don’t know. I just didn’t like Misa.

 

Episode 25 was easily the worst episode for me. After that, I held on to some sliver of hope until the end of the series… to no avail. I cried…

 

But anyway.

 

I don’t really have much experience with Anime. I’ve only watched video game anime (none of which I’ve finished), a bit of Fullmetal Alchemist, and Howl’s Moving Castle. Honestly, if I don’t have any motivation to finish it, I won’t. So I can celebrate and say I’ve finally finished an anime (except for Howl’s Moving Castle, but that was a movie)!

Super Smash Bros. (3DS) In-Depth Post-Play Review

HAHA! I’m not dead! Although, waiting this long to post isn’t irregular, per say. I’m just really good at procrastinating. I’ve had this post in my drafts for a while, so yeah.

 

Okay. Get ready for… I don’t know. A review of everything in SSB 3DS.

 

Smash

-Solo

Solo is basically just from 1v1 to 1v1v1v1 or 2v2, 1v3, 2v1, etc. Basically, this is what people think of when someone says “Super Smash Bros”. There are 9 difficulties for computers, and they start at level 3. There are also two different core gameplay types: Time and Stock. The ‘Time’ mods is a set amount of time, and whoever has the most points (kills – falls) at the end, wins. Stock, on the other hand (the other Master Hand :D), is a set amount of lives, and whoever outlasts everyone else wins.

There are a ton of rules you can mess with: Time v Stock, Time/Stock Limit, Customizations (fighters created in custom), handicap (damage % fighters start with), damage ratio (how far people are launched depending on their damage %), stage choice (random/choose), items, how much time for Stock Battles (starts at infinite, can change), teammate damage, pause function, score display, damage gauge, and the ‘suicide’ penalty (if you jump off the stage w/o a person pushing/hitting you).

This is also the mode that if you need to unlock characters, they will appear for you to battle after a certain amount of battles.

-Group

This is basically just solo, but with other people that are close by with their own copy of the game.

-Rules

Another place to change the rules mentioned in ‘Solo’.

 

Online

-With Friends

Playing Smash with friends registered to your 3DS friends list. I don’t have any experience with this; I have no friends… lol. At least ones with 3DSs. You can host a game or join someone else’s.

-With Anyone

—>For Fun

—–<Smash

This mode is basically regular Smash, but with other people instead of CPU’s. The rules are the same and everything. Stages, Items. Wins and losses are not recorded.

—–<Team Smash

Basically Team Smash from regular Smash, but with other people instead of CPU’s. Items and Stages and rules and everything. Wins and losses are not recorded.

—>For Glory

As a general rule for anything in this category, wins and losses are recorded, and there are no items. Also, you’re playing on ‘Omega’ Form stages.

—–<Smash

Regular smash, but with the rules mentioned above.

—–<1-on-1

A duel with you and one other person. Regular 1v1, but with the rules mentioned above.

—–<Team Smash

Regular 2v2, but with the rules mentioned above.

—–<Records

A list of all of your battles, wins, top-half finishes, last-place finishes, win rate %, win rate % of last 10 battles, and win rate % of last 50 battles. They have a separate stats for Combined, Smash, Team, and 1-on-1.

-Conquest

Basically, you fight battles for points for your team against members of other teams. At the end of the allotted time, a winner will be announced.

-Spectate

Watch an online Smash match.

 

 

Challenge

Just various tasks to complete to get rewards and to integrate into the game better. I would probably still just be playing regular Smash without them. There are different panels of challenges you unlock as you go along.

 

Smash Run

-Solo

You start in a giant stage/labyrinth/thing with zero stats. You run around, attack enemies, jump, and find treasure chests to upgrade your stats for a total of five minutes. After the time limit is up, there’s a final smash challenge (1v1v1v1, 2v2, who can defeat the most monsters, etc.) where the stat upgrades you collected are what your character has. Whoever finishes the final smash challenge with the most points, wins.

-Group

An online version of Solo with people immediately around you.

-Custom

With this feature, you can unlock different power-ups and such to use during the labyrinth part of the Run. Also, this is how you’d make Mii fighters.

-Select Music

Select the track you want to play while you Smash Run.

 

StreetPass

-StreetSmash

When you pass people using StreetPass with SSB, you get a ‘Hit’. You then fight these ‘Hits’ as tokens that smack each other off-stage.

-Practice

StreetSmash with CPU’s.

-Profile

Decide your name, catchphrase, and character token.

-Records

Shows you the gold earned and trophies won through StreetSmash.

-Tutorial

A tutorial on how to play StreetSmash.

 

Wii U

You can exchange fighters made in Custom or use your 3DS as a game controller for Wii U SSB.

 

Games & More

-Solo

—>Classic

You fight so many battles (I think 6) to get gold, trophies, and upgrades. Eventually, you get to Master Hand, Master Hand and Crazy Hand, and if you play the difficulty level at at least 5.1, Master Core will burst out of Master Hand.

—>All-Star

Fight against sets of all the characters in different stages, depending in what time period they were created. You have one life and you keep the same damage % through all the battles.

—>Training

Practice everything. You can spawn in items and CPU’s, change damage %, and all kinds of crazy stuff.

—>Stadium

—–<Multi-Man Smash

10-Man Smash

Nine Mii fighters plus a giant version of your character come out to fight you. Defeat them in the shortest amount of time.

100-Man Smash

An 100-Man army mostly composed of Mii Fighters fight you. Defeat them in the shortest amount of time.

3-Minute Smash

Defeat as many of the army as you can in a 3-Minute time limit.

Rival Smash

Defeat more of the army than a CPU rival.

Endless Smash

Defeat as many Mii Fighters as you can before they kill you. No time limit.

Cruel Smash

Epic, buff Mii Fighters are out to destroy you. Defeat as many as you can before they do the same to you. I’ve not defeated one fighter yet…

—–<Target Blast

Basically, beat up a bomb as much as you can in ten seconds, before launching it a tower reminiscent of Angry Birds. There are sometimes trophies and power-ups in the rubble.

—–<Home-Run Contest

Same concept as Target Blast, but you’re just trying to launch a sandbag as far a possible.

-Group

The modes are played with people immediately near you with a copy of the game.

—>All-Star

Same as Solo All-Star, but you have teammates.

—>Multi-Man

Same as Solo Multi-Man Smash, but with teammates.

-Custom

Just another way to customize characters and make Mii Fighters.

-Vault

—>Trophies

Trophies you’ve collected throughout the challenges you’ve completed. You can also buy trophies with gold you’ve collected and play Trophy Rush. Trophy Rush is a game where you destroy wooden blocks and trophy blocks for gold and trophies.

—>Album

The place where you find snapshots you’ve taken. I actually don’t know how to take snapshots, and I Googled it also, so if you know, could you possibly tell me?

—>Replays

This is the place where all the replays of the Smash battles you’ve saved are. I actually know how to save replays, just not snapshots 😛

—>Sounds

You can listen to any music or voices of characters you’ve unlocked.

—>Records

A bunch of stats.

—>Tips

A collected list of all those messages they have while you’re waiting for Smash to load.

-Options

Here you can change the following five things: Controls, Sound, Character Outline, Damage Display, and Internet Options.

 

Controls is obvious. You can change what buttons do what.

In Sound, you can individually change the sound levels of music, sound effects, and voices.

In Character Outline, you can change how dark/big the outlines of the characters are to make them easier to see.

In Damage Display, you can choose where the damage % will show up.

In Internet Options, you can change Spotpass, Data received from friends, share info (info sent to Nintendo), broadcast (spectator mode for battles), and profile.

 

——————-

 

Wow. So basically, that’s it. This took three days of off-and-on writing to complete.

-0-

Plus the time I procrastinated, which would be another 3 days… Ouch.

PERSONAL POST- My Marvel Makes!

Cool stuff!

SUPER MOVIE MANIAC

I’m a very hands on person. I enjoy to make things and with such a love for superheros, I tend to make random Marvel things for the heck of it! Check them out…

Ironman Night Light:

Just card shaped like the Mark 42 gauntlet with a sticky press light. I added translucent blue paper to give it the blue tint, easy peasy!

Groot Pumpkin:

Self explanatory. Last Halloween I drew Groot on one side of a pumpkin and the new born version on the back! I carved out the eyes to give him a ghostly ghoul look and it certainly works well.

Ironman DIY propulser:

This didn’t cost much but took me a good four hours! Recognise the blue light? Yep, it’s the same one I used for the night light. I made the frame out of painted cardboard and then proceeded to destroy an old game console controller. I used the…

Fem!Link Cosplay: Part 2

So. I’ve done a decent amount since Part 1.

For part two, I’ve made the cream/white shirt that is the innermost layer in Link’s tunic, the black arm warmer things that go under the arm guards, I bought small hoop earrings, and I have gloves, I just need to make them fingerless.

So for the shirt, I bought a regular button-up white shirt and messed with the collar. The finished collar:

For the arm warmer things, I just found some black fabric and measured my arms. These are one of the only things I’m actually making from scratch.

And finally, the gloves. I’m probably just going to cut part of the fingers off.

I just realized I never gave a reference pic or anything to tell what the costume will look like… so yeah. If you care, this is the picture that I’m basing the costume off:

I just got it off the Zeldapedia wiki page for Link. I think it’s from Twilight Princess. Instead of the chainmail (yeah, no thanks. Impossible), however, I’m just going to use brown material.

In other stuff, I’ve pre-ordered Majora’s Mask from Amazon. I’ve never bought a video game the day it came out, so I have no idea how the traffic would be if I went to a store. I do have experience buying movies from stores the day they come out, and it never worked for me. The earliest I would be able to go out to a store and buy it would be 1 pm, so I’m pre-ordering to be safe.

Bye.
