Veth's Journal

...now I need to remember how to make posts that don't involve memes.

I started playing Heart Gold again. Goal is to beat the Elite Four, but I can't even get there because of how impossible it is to catch Ho-Oh. I tried everything. Even Down+A has failed me. Any advice?

Also, Hinata was cuter with short hair. Actually, everyone was cuter before the timeskip.* Actually, everything was better before the timeskip. Yeah, I remember when Naruto was actually good. Good times.

* Except Gaara. Mullet yesss.

( Otakon report! (WARNING: LONG) )

So all in all, Otakon was pretty awesome. ^_^

( Loot! )

( A meme! (LESS LONG) )

I think this entry has set the record for most tags in a post on my LJ.

( Flashing picture warning )

HEY GUYS

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN AS EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING AS THIS GUY IS ABOUT TAB

BECAUSE THAT IS HOW EXCITED I AM ABOUT MS PAINT ADVENTURES (WHICH INCIDENTALLY HAS THE TAB GUY IN IT)

IT IS EPIC

yeah

Also I know Anime Boston was a month ago but ( chronological order is for chumps )

so

yeah

the pokémon meme
:3?

EDIT: Also J.D. Salinger died. Looks like I need a new life goal.

Things that have made me ridiculously happy in the past 24 (more or less) hours:
- Hetalia Day 2009 with my dork friends
- Seeing the Astro Boy movie immediately afterward with said dork friends
- Szayel's dub voice fffffff
- The answer to the New York Times acrostic (if you've done it you'll know why)

Also, I have been playing Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia a whole lot lately. (And I still have to actually pay Momo for it at some point. ._.;;) I really like this game. It's not a "true" Pokémon game, sure, but it's gotten me to care about the storyline and characters more than any other Pokémon game's done. And the writing is hilarious. If any Pokémon fans out there are looking for something to occupy themselves while waiting for HG/SS, you could really do a lot worse.

I've had a lot of stuff to post and it was too much to post in one post so this post will only post part of it. And yes, I am trying to set a world record for the number of times saying "post" in one sentence. And the number of tags on this post.

First, a meme stolen from HG:

Make a list of 10 fandoms you are in/things you like and then have your friends list guess who you think is the most attractive/would date/sleep with/etc. Cross them off as they're guessed.

1. Bleach Szayel (hoyvinglavin64)
2. Kuroshitsuji Grell (alex_romao)
3. Lost
4. Hetalia
5. Nolanverse Batman
6. Sandman Dream (hoyvinglavin64)
7. Phoenix Wright Jake Marshall (alex_romao)
8. US presidents
9. Yu Yu Hakusho Kurama (hoyvinglavin64)
10. Star Wars Obi-Wan (Episode II) (hoyvinglavin64)

And, like HG's, most of these'll be super easy. ~*~so predictable~*~

( Cut for the rest. Anime Boston, Pokémon stuff. )

Okay, I know I have been outraged about a lot of stuff in here lately. But this one is seriously legitimate: the girl player character in HG/SS will not be the one from Crystal. I - what? Seriously? No. I dunno if it's just because she was the first girl or what, but the Crystal girl is my favorite out of every player character. They're not replacing the guy (although imo his new design is pretty terrible), so why replace her? Plus, I really, really dislike the new one's design as well. Look at those overalls. She looks like Mario! And what's with that hat? Fffffff I know I shouldn't get so worked up about something like this, but I'm really crushed here. I guess if I can't get used to her in the end I'll just play as the guy, new design notwithstanding. :\

Plus the Death Note photoshoot's been moved to 12 on Friday, so we won't be able to even catch the tail end. And Vaarsuvius from Order of the Stick stopped being hot. And I'm tired. So yeah, pretty bad times all around.

I'm sure everyone who cares has heard this already but butbutbut I absolutely had to spaz about it as well because THEY ARE REMAKING GOLD AND SILVER. *.* Yeah, as you may or may not know Generation II is my absolute favorite generation. DO WANT, SO BADLY.

No updates re: my game except I got a Cranidos. Sato also learned Thunder, so I really should evolve him sometime.

Does it bother anyone else that all the starters (except Pikachu) have a 7-to-1 male-female ratio? I mean, presumably half-ish of the players are girls, and maybe some of them would want to start with a girl Pokémon. Heck, I bet some guys also would. Well. Maybe next generation. Also, some of the Platinum sprites look really stupid. Just sayin'. (And these are only the first ones I came across. Trust me, there's tons more.)

And finally, more random Pokémon trivia Bulbapedia has taught me: Chimchar is the only starter (except Pikachu) who isn't based on an egg-laying animal. (I mean, all Pokémon lay eggs anyway, but.) I was going to say "That can't be right!", but I went through all of them and yup, apparently we really are that low on mammalian starters. (Cyndaquil's also a mammal, but apparently it's an echidna.) Just... never noticed that before.

I just realized that I accidentally leveled my Pichu way beyond where he would actually learn any good moves as a Pikachu. And he's still not happy enough. I GOT YOU A MASSAGE, SATO YOU STUPID JERK. >:| Does anyone who knows Pokémon know if he's beyond hope at this point and I should get a new one? (He's level 30.) Or any good ways to make him happy quickly? I want a Pikachu. :|

... because a minute to look up my homework ends up becoming two and a half hours reading the Super Smash Bros. kink meme.

(Yes, I know what it sounds like, but the stuff in there is surprisingly decent for a kink meme. Like half of it is just fluff, it's great. Also, there is a SAMUS/SNAKE BODYSWAP FFFFFFFFFF)

And I guess while I'm linking things, have an awesome video. Even though I'm pretty sure this song was actually created specifically for use in this video, it still has so much untapped AMV potential, seriously. For instance, I am shocked - shocked, I tell you - that no one has made one about Pegasus. I'M THUPER, THANKS FOR ASKING~~~

And what else? Uh I guess I beat Palmer if that's important. Gracie is a man (well, male giraffe)? I know I had something else to post here.
