Max Payne 3 Impressions

     Alright.  So if you happened to glimpse at my page today you would know that I purchased this game from Amazon plus the Season Pass for a whopping $6.99 (I could not pass that deal up, for a game that is supposed to be good).
     Now I had a hard time getting this game started up.  It probably had something to do with my putting my computer to sleep when it was still downloading the files.  When I uninstalled and redownloaded the game it seemed to work much better.
     Most of you that have played a Rockstar game recently probably know that you need a Social Club membership in order to play the game and you need an active internet connection (or at least that what it was telling more).  So when I was having the initial troubles that I was having of getting it to run I created an account and linking it to some of my other accounts that I may or may not eventually play another Rockstar game on.
     Once I was able to play (after getting it installed from waiting another 4 hours for it to download) I went and started the story mode.  Now here is something, I bought my PC brand new this year and it was labeled as a gaming PC.  This game was released more than a year and a half ago.  So you would think that my computer would have not trouble playing it towards the higher end of the settings.  I guess not (probably because when they say it is a gaming PC, that means you are able to be able to meet most of the minimum requirement to play a game).  So I worked on the resolution for a while until I was able to feel like it started to move smoothly.
     I supposed I should point out that this is the very first Max Payne game that I have laid my own hands on.  I remember watching a friend of mine play the first Max Payne and thinking it was awesome with bullet time and such and then Max Payne 2 came out.  I don't know I wasn't really into shooter back then maybe that is why I never picked those games up.
     Now the reason I brought this up is because you need to know about some of the Max Payne history in order to understand what is going on.  Yeah you find out that your wife and daughter were killed and you are always drinking and taking meds to numb the pain (which makes for some interesting game play).  Do I know how his wife and kid died?  Nope.  So this does not have any back story leading into the game.  Once you get to the fourth chapter you do start getting a story on why you are doing what you are doing now.
     When I was reading other reviews on this game there was a lot of mention about how there are a lot of cut scenes and hardly any play time.  True this game does seem to run in cut scenes a lot, but those scenes drive the story forward.  If it weren't for them you would miss out on a lot of the story that is being presented.  Sure it would be nice if there were more playing sections, but I think the formula is fine the way it is.
     Sometimes when I was playing Max would seem to go where he wanted to go and not where I wanted him to go.  Most of the time this happened when coming out of cover or sharply changing directions.  Some minor issue are that you can't crouch and run, run under cover.  I forgot after the intro on how to dive, but later found out on accident how to do it by trying random buttons.  Over all though I think the controls are solid enough.
    So far I am on chapter 5 of the story and it seems to be a good story to keep more playing until this end at least one time through and maybe another time to get all the collectibles.
    I then decided to try out the multiplayer part of it and saw only 80 people playing at the time I was one.  I guess since this was release a while ago people are not playing this as much now as back then.  My settings must have been too much for multiplayer to handle because when I walking fast but moving slow.  Everything else moved normal speed though, just not my guy.  I changed my settings, but had to restart the game, so I just decided to call it a day for today.
    For reviews I don't think I will give it a rating, just my opinion.  Right now I say it was well worth the $6.99 that I spent on it.  Maybe this will change once I play it more and get to the end, and have good online matches.
     

Minish Cap Journal Entry 3

Day 4
This day was another tiring day.  It took a long time to get to the top.  Once I got to the top I had to go down the mountain again to find where the Minish were.  I gave the sword to Melari and he started to work on the sword right away while I went to the mines to gather the next element.
What kind of person makes a mine that is nearly impossible to traverse?  And why do the mine karts go very fast?  I worked my way through this place avoiding holes, spikes and traps.  I had this horrible battle with these Purple Chuchu's.  I don't know how enemies could become more difficult, but they had.  These would turn into huge spike balls when you went nearer to them.  It took a while, but I managed to get rid of them all.
Then came the part where I had to battle Gleerok.  This giant dragon looking thing with a shell over its back.  I used the Cane of Pacci to flip the shell and run over its neck to hit its soft spot.  I did this a couple of times while also trying to not get hit by fire, unsuccessfully.  and I finally took it out after a few times of doing this.
I went back to the Minish and took my fixed sword back, now called the White Sword.  Next up is to travel back to the castle and fuse the elements that I currently have into it.
While I am here I will sleep for the night in a nice warm bed, where it is safe from the wild.

Minish Cap Journal Entry 2

Day 3:
I woke early in the morning.  I was sore and I needed to get going.  The elder told me that I must go to Mount Crenel and meet Melari so I can get the sword repaired.  The hut just outside the village was where a Minish was and he gave me a bomb bag because there was rubble blocking my path.  I then entered the stump and became big again.  I then headed on my way out.
Before I exited the woods I saw a strange stone.  I looked at it,and it disappeared leaving a bare plot of land with a symbol on it.  What could this be for I wonder?
Once I made it over the bridge I noticed that there were stones blocking my path.  I laid a bomb and cleared it right up and exited the woods.
Finally I get to see some light.  I made my way back to town so I could stock up on revisions.  On the way there I ran into some Spiny Beetles, Keese, Peahats and Octoroks.  I also found a cave with some mysterious shells.  What could these be for?
Since it has been a while since I have been home I decided to go there first.  I found another one of those wind stone things.  And just to the West of the town was a fairy cave filled with fairies.  What interesting characters they are, they fill up your hearts just like that then disappear.
Once in the town the Hurdy-Gurdy Man came up to me and introduced me to Kinstones.  We joined one together and opened up a tree to the South.  I ran to check it out and found a heart piece.  I reentered the town and went to the sword trainers house and learned the spin attack.  I chased some chickens and I also bought a bigger wallet.
I visited the place where Zelda one the shield for me.  How could it get so dusty in this amount of time?  I took the Gust Jar out and cleared it off.  In the North-East part of town I found another of those strange wind stones, I still have no idea what they are for.  I also visited the mayor over here and found a Kinstone his basement and merged them with his Kinstone that he was carrying to reveal a spot in the Lon Lon Farm.
I made my way to exit the West exit, but there was a guard blocking it.  He said if I could show him the Spin Attack he would let me out.  So I charged it up right in front of him and spun like there was not tomorrow.  He then stepped aside and let me out.
Immediately I ran into a Keaton and did a double slash to take him out.  I then went down a latter and found a business scrub down here with an empty bottle for sale.  So I bought it from him.  I then worked my way to the base of the mountain.
I saw some vines growing from these seeds and one was not so developed.  So I took my bottle, filled it up with water, then splashed it onto the seed.  Like magic the vine grow all the way up to the ledge above me.
Up here I ran into some Tektite's, these are some crazy things.  I also found a cave with some fairies and rupees in it.  To the South of here was a hidden cave that I took out with a bomb.  On my way through here there were some Mulldozers that I needed to take care up before I made my way to the top.
Once up top I blew up the rubble, then went Minish.  I made my way to the green liquid substance and filled my bottle up with Mt. Crenel Mineral Water.  Once I made it back to big size I just jumped off the ledge and made my way West.
I found another cave.  I had some fun flinging myself around with the mushrooms and taking out Keese.  On the next floor were some Helmasaur, I needed to first use my Gust Jar to take off their armor and then I could take them out.
Once on the outside of the cave I jumped into the whirlwind and floated to the West to continue on.  I then went North and found a cave with a heart piece in it and some rupees and a Kinstone.  I then climbed a ladder and became Minish again after clearing some nasty dust.  I went East and up a vine to find a Kinstone.  Then I went towards the seed so I could carry it to the wall by the side of the mountain.  Once I became big again I Sprinkled it with Spring water and it grew like crazy all the way to the top.
I climbed up and here I am now.  I am so exhausted.  I wrote too much when I should have been resting.  I was really wishing I could have made it to where the Minish are, but I will have to do that tomorrow.  Looking at my map, I still have a long way to go.

Minish Cap Journal Entry 1

Hello to anyone who may find this some time in the future.  My name is Link and I live in a place called Hyrule.  Today started out as just an ordinary day, but that was not going to last.

Day 1:
Morning:
This morning princess Zelda came to my house.  She asked if I would go to the Picori Festival with her.  Master Smith said it was alright, as long as I would deliver the sword.  So I only did the most sensible thing and grabbed the sword and ran to the festival with Zelda.
On the way to town we played a game of tag, except I only tagged her and she never tagged me back.  A couple of hours went by in the festival and Zelda and I had a great time.  She of course wasn't being patient and kept running off.  Zelda also one a tiny shield and she gave it to me as a present.

Afternoon:
It was beginning to get late and it was about time that we brought to sword to Potho so it could be given away to this years champion.  When we left the town we were attacked by a business scrub, I pulled my shield out and bounced one of his nuts right back in his face.  After that he fled and left us alone.
When we reached the castle Potho was waiting right outside the cast for the sword.  I gave him it and he asked for me to stay and watch the ceremony.

Evening:
The ceremony began.  Out came a few guards, the king and Zelda.  The guards were carrying a large box with a sword in it.  King Daltus spoke welcoming this years champion Vaati.
Something about this guy just did not sit right with me the moment I saw him.  He was dress in black (who does that) and was laughing maniacally.  Events were happening way to fast.  He shot some kind of magic ball at the chest destroying the shield and releasing all of these monsters.  He then was saying some strange things about Zelda.  I tried to protect here, I really did, but the shield was not enough.  Later did I find that she was turned to stone.

Day 2:
Morning:
This morning I woke with a fierce head ache.  It took me a while to remember what had happened.  I remembered the princess was turned to stone, my Zelda.  King Daltus then must me on the task to travel to the woods to meet the small things there to fix the sword.  Without being told twice I left immediately.  On the way to the woods I ran into some Octorok, and Acro-Bandits.

Afternoon:
It took half a day, but I finally made it to the Minish Woods.  This place was beyond creepy.  The trees were so high that they were blotting out the sun.  I could barely see ten feet in front of me.  I made my way through the woods fighting off a few more Octorok's.  All of a sudden I heard this slimmy sound and a green Chuchu popped up in front of me.  I took it out along with a few more.
The shrine was just in front of me before I heard a scream for help.  A ran towards the scream to save whoever was in danger.  The strangest thing happened next.  Some weird hat bird looking thing named Ezlo was being attacked by Octorok's.  I took them out and he joined me on my quest and eventually came to sit on my head.
I went back to the shrine and found a shiny stone.  It was a piece of heart.  I was too big to fit through the opening to the shrine so we headed back towards a stump that was glowing.  I jumped on it and Ezlo started singing and I started shrinking.  It was the strangest thing.
Then I found my way towards the Minish Village.  Here I talked to Festari about finding the Jabber Nut so I went and got that, and then talked to the Elder Gentari and needing to get four elements fused to the sword to fix it.  The first one was in the shrine in the woods.

Evening:
It was already beginning to be late so I needed to go to the shrine before the sun went down.  This was a great labyrinth.  I had never seen anything like this before.  I made my way through and solve these insane puzzles.  Who builds such things?  I got a new item, it is so sweet.  I am able to suck in air with it, I think I should name it the Gust Jar, that sounds fitting.  Of course to get it I had to beat a Madderpillar.  Some of the other monsters I ran into were Sluggula, Mulldozer, Puffstool, and Pesto.  I also found two more hear stones here.  The last room where the element was that I needed was not a very safe room.
There must have been a leak somewhere because a Green Chuchu came pouring in from the ceiling.  This was a normal size Chuchu, and when I say normal size I mean normal from when you are big.  So when you are small, this thing was ginormous.  I took out my gust jar and just went at him trying to suck its base out from under it.  Eventually I got enough and it toppled over.  I did this two more times and finally got rid of it.  After it disappeared a full heart stone and the element appeared.
Very exhausted I limped back to the village and found a bed.  I don't think I will make it through this journey, this is already being too much for me.  Hopefully tomorrow will be an easier day.  Right now I shall sleep.

New Google + Page

Hello everyone:
Yesterday I started a new Google + page.  This will be where I will be linking all of these stories to and where most of my posts about gaming and stuff is going to occur.  So make sure you head on over there.
Game Chat
Just click that and you will be directed to the correct page.  Just follow me there instead and hopefully things will work out better there.

Store Website Reviewers

Now this could be a touchy subject, but someone needs to talk about it.  When I am thinking about purchasing something I like to read other peoples experience with the product.  So since I do most of my shopping on Amazon I just look at the review of the product from there.
You would think that there should be some kind of regulation to be able to even post a review.  Maybe having an IQ of at least 100, or maybe owning the product that you are reviewing.  Sure sometimes it's funny to read the reviews of the people who have no clue what they bought.
Here is an example of a stupid one.
"I bought this latest Layton series game because all the others are great."  So far so good right?  "When I saw 3DS on the box I was asured it would fit because at the bottom of the package it states 'Playable in 2D and 3D mode..'"  Now we may become confused about what this person is talking about.  "I have a DS-XL and the game does not fit."  OK, so not very smart.  "There is a protrusion to one side that prevents the cartridge from engaging fully into the slot ... Since the box is already opened and I can't return it, I'm going to see if cutting off the protrusion with work."  Now at this point I was crying with laughter.  Now I am not saying precisely that this person is stupid (OK, maybe I did say that), but it was stupid in what they did.  They did no research before they purchased it, and they are now going to make the product unusable in any sense.  I then went on to read the many comments that were left on this review to see if they said anything more in there.  All I found were people just putting them down for being stupid.
Now here is one from someone who hates on Nintendo.  He doesn't even purchase the game, just leaves one star reviews to be a hater.
"This game is not bade u know," So far it seems alright  "not bad in the sense that the game is not bad."  OK?  "The worst thing about this game is the fact that it is on the wii u, or better yet pee-u lol u know what I mean."  Now I see he just is a hater.  "The wii u controls are like awful n stuff, you gotta draw around on sum stupid tablet and guide some little fairy dust thing around some cave and it gets nowhere.  The game is brought down by this mess and it is only on the wii u version.  so bad."  Now after reading this you may be completely loss by the horrible English used.  In fact it does sound like something a early education student would say.  So lots of the comments were people calling his bluff.  At least people realized it was stupid (And the only one star for this game on Wii U).  I then looked at this guys profile to see his other reviews.  Out of the nine Nintendo games that he had reviewed, eight of them were one star reviews.  The other one was a COD game which he gave a three on Wii u, but a five on xbox.  On his first two reviews he refers to Call of Duty.  The rest either have the word stupid or poop in it.  Since he rated the COD games highly I would guess that he was born either in the very late ninety's or early 2000 era.  A time where people were born in the Halo era and all they know is FPS games.  They don't know any real kind of gaming.  Here is an example of one of his five star reviews.
"What can I say about this game besides the fact that it is literally the only reason to own a game console anymore.  No joke this is the only game I ever play and I am maximum level prestige and I still never get tired of this game.  If you have a brain in your head you would be playing this game.  Forget about everything else, this is the only game you need."  This was from BLOPS 2 by the way.
So that is why Amazon, and other places I have seen, should regulate who is able to post a review of a product. Than we would not be getting these bogus reviews that bring down a rating of a good game, or bring up a rating of a game that isn't that great (I used to play cod and I probably wont ever put my hands on another copy as long as I live).

Intro to What I Plan on Doing

Hello everyone:
This will be the day that I finally start to play The Legend of Zelda The Minish Cap.  The reason I am calling this the intro is to give you an idea of what I am going to be doing throughout the duration of me playing the game.  While I am playing this game I will be taking notes.  These notes will help me in writing what I am going to be writing.

You see I am going to write a novelization of my play through.  I am going to try to make the story of what is told in the game on paper here for you, plus some feeling.  So when you read this you will feel like you are in the actual world (I hope).  I may put a few images on the page, but not too much to be distracting from the story.

I will be writing this as chapters, traveling will be a chapter and a dungeon will be a chapter on its own too.  I feel like that would be the right way to go about doing this.  So prepare yourselves for the story of a life time.  I don't think I will be getting the first chapter up tonight (in fact I know I wont).  Tomorrow evening probably a better chance, but probably no later than Sunday.


                                                  Thank You Everyone

The Game I Am Playing Next

Sorry everyone.  I know it has been a long while since the last time that I had posted something.  Now remember a while ago that I was asking which game I should play next to finish?  Well I did get one response, and I was actually wanting to play this game and beat it first, so I am going to do that.  The game that I am going to be playing next and recording my progress in is TLOZ The Minish Cap.  I was thinking of just continuing the game from where I was, but since I am not that far into it I am just going to start it over (I don't really remember where I am supposed to go or what to do).  So prepare yourself for my adventure through the world of Hyrule and the Minish world.  What adventure awaits and I take down Vaati and save Hyrule.  Then I am hoping that I have enough money to be able to by A Link Between Worlds on the 22nd.  You know, substitute teaching does not really give you that much money, and this part time job I have takes up the rest of my time.

Day 26 of Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt

Wohooo, it's down to the last three days.  Today's target you must delve deep into the Mines of Avararice and take on the mighty Warlord Turge.  So yeah, you know the dealsio.  Just take a fast travel station and head on over there.  You will be met up with some Orcs and Spiders along the way, but no bigs just take em out and move on.  After you fight your way through the little camp right out here you will see Warlord Turge some how come out of a tent (how he was able to fit in it?).  Take out some high hit guns and take him down.  I used my creamer and he went down right quick.

Everyone must gather forces and work together to take down 30k Orczerkers.  This will bring us one more step closer to the weekly loot.

I am still very much annoyed by the fact that I still do not have credit for day 1.

What Happens Next in Pokemon?

I wake up in my room, I have no clue how I got there.  Did I pass out and get dragged back, or was that all just a dream?  I walk down the stairs and my Mom tells me that Professor Sycamore wants to meet me and the Lumiose Station.  I wonder what for.  Stepping outside Shauna is waiting for me.  She wants to trade Pokemon with me.  She had a Fennekin in an egg and I can give her any Pokemon that I have.  So I just gave her one of my extra Gravelers.  Of course she happened to give it an odd nickname.

Of course once I got to Lumiose City on South BLVD I should of taken a right instead of a left since the station is on the East side of North BLVD.  As soon as I entered the station those two weirdos gave me the National Pokedex.  So the reason Sycamore wanted me here was so he could give me a pass to Kiloude City.  Where is that?  Evidently it is a city in the southern part of the Kalos region.  Getting on the train brings me to Kiloude Station.  The kid has a quiz for me.  Royal ladies took a Spritzee with them instead of what?  Perfume, with Max Revive being the prize.

As soon as I exited the station some stranger starts talking to me, and he even knows my name.  Oh, of course, because I was recognized from the parade.  He gives me a Vs. Recorder.  In the third building to the right I learn of a Poke Radar at Sycamore's lab, and I also receive TM91 Flash Cannon.  To the right of this is an item ball with a Nugget inside.  In the house to the left is Ace Trainer Anton: lvl 65 Weazing, lvl 65 Bronzong, lvl 66 Elektross.  In the center of the city is Battle Maison, some place where you can battle.  In the house on the top left I received TM58 Sky Drop.  I then spent some time in the Friend Safari.

Day 25 of Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt

Poor Bloodwing.  I remember this part of the game, so so depressing.  Okay, enough of that.  So today's target is to take out the Son of Mothrakk.  He can be found where you had to take out the giant Bloodwing in the Wildlife Reserve.  Since this area is at the very end I ended up with a lot of stacks by the time I made it over there.  There were a couple of spots on the way there that you can't go further unless you clear the area.  As soon as I descended the elevator to go in this area he started his attack.  Now I made a stupid mistake of killing him outside of the arena and I had to do this all over again.  So on the second time I made sure I only shot at him when he was coming at me so he would fall in the arena.  Got him down and picked up the Bone Shredder.

Today's community goal is to take out 750K Bikers.  So you will need to play in Mr. Torgue's DLC in order to achieve this.  Should not be too hard since there are a lot of Bikers out there.


Sigh, still no credit for Day 1.  I will be very upset if because of my not having that entry that I lose on all of the drawings.

Beating the Elite Four

So I flew back to Couriway town to see if I could find what Sycamore had hidden there.  In the little stream on the South-East part of town using Waterfull to go up I found TM80 Rock Slide.  I found a hidden note by the train station.  It's on the fart right bench on the left side of it.  (to future Sycamore from past Sycamore).
On Route 21 heading towards Victory Road this is what I all ran into.
Wild Pokemon: Spinda, Floatzel, Ursaring.  Horde: Sablu, Spinda.

Victory Road
Maybe since this area is epic and big I shall write a little bit more.  Before you enter the Victory Road you are challenged at the gate by Ace Trainer Robie: lvl 56 Carbink, lvl 56 Raichu, lvl 57 Kingdra.  Then once you pass him and step on the switch all sorts of things happen.  After passing through and walking the long path you are met with Ace Trainer Alanza: lvl 60 Weavile.  Since going straight ahead is out of the question I surfed my way to the left and found a hidden X Attack.  Moving up I was met with Ace Trainer Bence: lvl 56 Steelix, lvl 56 Electrode, lvl 57 Kangaskhan.  Right after him was Black Belt Markus: lvl 60 Machamp.  Moving down was an item ball with a Dusk Ball and Battle Girl Veronique: lvl 57 Hawlucha, lvl 58 Mienshao.  In the linking path I ran into Backpacker Farid: lvl 58 Haxorus.  I also found a hidden Hyper Potion, and a Full Heal in this area.
In the next cave I ran into Battle Girl Sigrid: lvl 60 Medicham.  I then jumped around to the left and found a hidden Ultra Ball down there.  Now heading North I ran into Black Belt Ander: lvl 57 Pangoro, lvl 58 Heracross.  Down that path is an item ball with Carbos and a hidden Smooth Rock.  Heading back down and to the left now I ran into Psychic William: lvl 58 Espeon.  I then used Strength to move that boulder to the hole on the left to move on.  I was then met by Brains and Brawn Arman and Hugo: lvl 58 Medicham, lvl 60 Gallade.  Over the bridge and up the stairs to the next linking path.  Here I met Fairy Tale Girl Corinne: lvl 56 Azumarill, lvl 56 Florges.  To the south I moved a rock, found a hidden Revive and an entrance to a cave.  Going through there brings you to the entrance of Victory Road.  Past the Fairy Tale Girl there is a smash-able wall on the left with an item ball containing PP Up behind it.  Moving on up I had a nice little talk with Hex Maniac Raziah: lvl 58 Gourgeist.  Right after that battle is a Ranger that healed me right up.  Right past him was an item ball with a Quick Ball in it.  Heading South from there Serena showed up: lvl 57 Meowstic, lvl 58 Altaria, lvl 57 Vaporeon, lvl 61 Chesnaught, lvl 59 Absol.  After beating me she gives me some Max Revives.  In the area down here there is a wall that can be broke with a Zinc behind it.
Looks like we must enter the next cave now.  Straight ahead I met Pokemon Ranger Petra: lvl 57 Slowbro, lvl 57 Altaria.  Taking the path straight down on the right brings you to an exit where I found a hidden Pretty Wing and an item ball with a Max Elixir.  Back by the Ranger I now went down and right immediately.  Following this I found a hidden Escape Rope.  Up some stairs I ran into Pokemon Ranger Ralf: lvl59 Crobat.  Down a little further is an item ball with a Full Restore.  Heading North of this area I found a hidden Max Repel.  I then ran into Veteran Inga: lvl 61 Talonflame.  I took the first slide and found an item ball with a Dragon Fang.  I then went up towards the next exit and ran into Veteran Gerard: lvl 57 Banette, lvl 59 Leafeon.  Heading South brings us directly towards the central area.  In this new area I had a little art chat with Artist Vincent: lvl 58 Smeargle.  Just bellow him I found a hidden X Defense.  Heading South I met Ace Trainer Michele: lvl 57 Magcargo, lvl 58 Scizor.  After her you must Surft.  I first chose to go up the waterfall and was met with Hiker Corwin: lvl 56 Torkoal, lvl 56 Golem.  Just after him was an item ball with TM02 Dragon Claw, and a hidden Max Ether.
In this cave I first met with Veteran Timeo: lvl 57 Trevenant, lvl 59 Gigalith.  Next up was Veteran Catrina: lvl 57 Glaceon, lvl 59 Snorlax.  Then I met Veteran Gilles: lvl 55 Skarmory, lvl 55 Umbrean, lvl 57 Alakazam.  Up the next steps I found a hidden Star Piece right in the middle.
The Wild Pokemon that I encountered were: Graveler, Druddigon, Horde of Geodude, Haunter, Gurdurr, Lickitung, Horde of Graveler, Horde of Lickitung, Ariados, Fearow, Floatzel

Pokemon League:
Well, first stop is the Pokecenter.  Heal up and grab some items that would probably be needed.
Cool, so I can challenge the rooms in any order that I please.  So I chose the first door on t
he left which was Ironworks Chamber first.  In here I was met with Wikstrom: lvl 63 Klefki, lvl 63 Probopass, lvl 63 Scizor, lvl 65 Aegislash.
I then went into the right door to enter the Blazing Chamber.  In here I was challenged by Malva: lvl 63 Pyroar, lvl 63 Torkoal, lvl 65 Talonflame, lvl 63 Chandelure.
Next I went into the Dragonmark Chamber.  The person here was Drasna: lvl 63 Dragalge, lvl 63 Altaria, lvl 65 Noivern, lvl 63 Druddigon.
Last Elite Four room is the Flood Chamber.  Here we are met with Siebold: lvl 63 Clawitzer, lvl 63 Gyarados, lvl 63 Starmie, lvl 65 Barbarnacle.
Now onto the champion.  Once back in the main chamber the huge double doors opened up.  I entered the Radiant Chamber and we greeted by the famous star Diantha: lvl 64 Hawlucha, lvl 65 Tyrantrum, lvl 66 Goodra, lvl 65 Aurorus, lvl 65 Gourgeist, lvl 68 Gardevoir (which can be Mega Evolve).
After defeating her she leads me up even higher into the building into the Hall of Fame.

Oh wow, five days have past and they are actually acknowledging that we save the world.  From Sycamore I got the Honor of Kalos. Then that tall guy said to battle him.
Pokemon Trainer AZ: lvl 60 Torkoal, lvl 60 Lolurk, lvl 60 Sigilyph.
After beating him he talks about how he is now free.  And would you look at that, he loved Pokemon is coming back to him from the sky.  It is so tiny, it is Floette.  So it is just a normal Pokemon, what rubbish, but it is a moving ending.  Fin.

Well now I will be going around trying to get all of the Pokemon that I can gather.  I know that there are still areas that I have yet to visit, so those will be the first place I will go.

Day 24 of Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt

Get ready to bend a knee to the King.  Today's target is King Mong located out in the Eridium Blight.  So what I did was I fast traveled to Eridium Blight and jumped into a vehicle and made my way to the South-East corner of the map where this guy was chilling.  I rammed into him (not doing anything) and got out and started to tear him down.  I took out my Deathtrap and then was flung down into the pit there and started to get attacked by other Bullymong.  My Deathtrap finished off King Mong for me.  I then picked up my Bunny rocket launcher and set forth.

This day's community goal is to take out 100K Dwarves.  Remember to hit them with the Bunny or it wont count.


FYI STILL NO CREDIT FOR DAY ONE.

Couriway Town and Route 19

Hello everyone.  Since it seems like no one is commenting and I some how am unable to post this to two of the most populated communities I was on I am going to take a different approach on how I write these.  I will not be writing nearly as much as I have before.  I will probably just describe the items I found and the trainers that I battled, but no longer as in depth as I have before.

Sycamore rambles on before you battle him.  He has a lvl 50 Venusaur, lvl 50 Blastoise and lvl 50 Charizard.  He has some kind of treasure hidden in this town, it is up to me to find it.  The Dock has a hidden Burn Heal.  Up the steps is a hidden Ether.  A lady at the station with TM89 U-Turn.  At the end there is an item ball with a Rare Candy and a hidden Poke Ball.  In the house on the other side of the bridge is a quiz depending on what starter you picked.  Froakie Quiz question 1 is Froakie's height 1'04"? No.  Is Froakie's wight 15.4 lbs.?  Yes.  I got a Mystic Water for winning.

There is a Hotel here up the steps.  A little kid to the right of the check in asks you "what does li'l Clauncher shoot when its internal gas explodes?".  Answer is water and you get TM55 Scald.  Upstairs is Mr. Bonding with Stealth Power (decreases chance of encountering wild Pokemon).  The guy to the right sells Fresh Water for 300 a bottle.  Behind him is an item ball with a Max Potion and a hidden Prism Scale.  Must need Waterfall move to go anywhere else.

Route 19:

Wild Pokemon encounters: Shelmet, Sliggoo, Drapion, Carnivine, Quagsire, Weepinbell, Karrablast, Stunfisk
Trainers:
Hex Maniac Josette: 2 lvl 50 Pumpkaboo.

Day 23 of Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt

Oh Holy Skag would you look at that.  It is Dukino's Mom.  That is what you need to take down.  When you take her down it will drop Logan's Gun.  So in order to take her down one must fast travel to Lynchwood.  Once you reach Lynchwood you veer off to the right and go left before the elevator going up.  Once down here just start blowing stuff up.  Dukino has a very nice armor plating which make it a lot harder if you can't hit its weak spots.  After a while she will go down and drop the weapon.

Today's community goal you will have to travel to the forests in Tiny Tina's DLC.  For here you will find the Treants and with everyone combining to take them down after 50K the goal will be complete.


Last week of Loot hunt, and I still have yet to receive credit for Day 1.  This is annoying me so much.

Route 18

After exiting the Pokecenter in Anistar city I received a Holo Clip from Sycamore.  He wants to meet up in Couriway Town.  To the right of the route sign is a hidden Poke Ball.  I then went went south and jumped over a little hill to find an item ball with a Hyper Potion.  Hey, it's a wild Gurdurr and I caught it.  Now I ran into a wild Durant and I caught it.  Since Youngster Jayden has his shorts on there is no place that he can't go.  First up was Scolipede, I used Dragon Pulse and then a Body Slam to take him out.  Up next was Pinsir so I brought out Blaziken and used Peck two times to take him out.  What is this?  There is a bush shaking above this Youngster.  Oh no, a Durant attacked me.  Just before the bridge I cut down a bush and walked up that path and a wild Durant jumped out at me again.  Up here is a Wacan Berry then going down the rails is an item ball with a PP Up in it.  Woh, a wild Heatmor and I caught it.  Now a wild Torkoal that I caught.  Down south in the flower fields Lass Sara who is late for something.  First up was Granbull, so I Foul Play to see what it did, about a quarter of the way.  Then I tried Oblivion Wing and finished the job.  Up next Dedenne and again I used Oblivion wing and got her about half way down.  I then tried fould play again and decided to switch to Linoone when she used Thunder on Yveltal and almost took it out.  I then finished the battle with Headbutt.  In the flowers I ran into a Pupitar and just about had it before it decided to hurt itself in its own confusion.  I then found a hidden Honey just below a rock.  Using Rock Smash I was attacked by a Graveler, I used Rock Smash and then he used Self Destruct (what a jerk).  I broke the next rock and got a Star Piece, then I found a hidden Super Potion.  Running underneath the tracks I found an item ball with X Defense in it and Black Belt Yanis.  First up was Sawk, I tried Rock Smash and then was taken out by Low Sweep, so then I tried my paralyzed Yveltal and used Fly to take him out.  Next up was Pangaroo, since Yveltal was just about out I decided to switch to Blaziken and used Peck two times to finish the battle.

I then ran into the cave and ran into a Sandslash and caught him on the first try.  Then I found an item ball with a Dragon Scale in it.  To the top was a hidden Normal Gem.  Since I was unsure of what way to go I ran up the stairs and in doing so I ran into Hiker Orestes with a Stunfisk.  I used Extrasensory and then was taken out with Thunder Bolt.  So I sent out Blaziken and used Peck then Sky Uppercut to finish the battle.  In the house is Psychic Inver and a inverted battle, where super effective moves are no longer super effective and the opposite for weak moves.  Up first was Bisharp so I used Headbutt and Strength (both super effective moves) and took him out.  Next up was Gourgeist so I switched to Greninja and used Surf then Water Pulse to take her out.  Last up was Emolga, so I sent out Yveltal and used Oblivion Wing and then Foul Play to finish the fight.  For winning I got a Rindo Berry.  Exiting out on the bridge wasBattle Girl Justine with Mienshao so then I just used Peck two times and took her out.  Running down the tracks I ran into Sky Trainder Jeremy with a Nujask up first.  I may have over done it with Oblivion Wing, but I took him out with it.  Next up was Flygon, so again I used oblivion wing and took him out.  Last up was Drifblim so I used Foul Play and finished the fight.  Then I ran to the right and found an item ball with Max Ether.  In the cave here is an item ball with Brick Break in it.  Back outside I found another Pupitar and caught it this time.

Now let's venture into Terminus Cave and see what awaits.  Breaking the first boulder to the right I got a Pearl.  After breaking the one to the left of the cart another Graveler came at me and I would have thrown a quick ball if I had one, but the thing used Self-Destruct again.  Another one just to the right of this one has another Graveler, hopefully it wont blow itself up.  I knew that was asking for too much, it went and Self-Destructed again.  The rock to the right of the cart had an Ether under it.  Going to the right now I broke another rock with Soft Sand under that one.  Then I went down some stairs and ran down.  I checked the right side first and found an item ball with a Star Piece in it.  Going to the left and over some jumps I found a Hidden Dusk ball by a rock on the left.  Then I ran up the slope and a Ariados swooped down from the cieling and I caught it.  Just above the bridge I found a hidden Hyper Potion.  After crossing the bridge I ran into Worker Narek with two Gravelers.  I used Water Pulse to bring then down to their knees.  Last up was Golem and once again I used Water Pulse to finish the job.  Then I went down and to the left to find a Pearl under a rock and an item ball with a Heat Rock in it.  I ran back up and started over the bridge to the right and ran into Hiker Aaron (wasn't there an Aaron already) with a Rhydon.  I then used Surf and finished the fight before he would have been able to say turtle.  Rounding the corner another Ariados comes at me.  Then I went down and North to run into Worker Dimitri with an Octillary.  So I switched to Raichu and used Thunderbolt and took him out.  I then broke a rock and found a hidden Moon Stone.  Another set of stairs and I ran into Battle Girl Andrea with a Throh so I switched to Blaziken and used Peck two times.  Then she sent out Conkeldurr and used Peck and Sky Uppercut to finish the battle.  Breaking the boulder above here was another Graveler, so I tried water pulse to hope he had Sturdy, but then he became confused and was hurt in its own confusion and took himself out.  Then following the path I found a hidden Iron.  Down was an item ball with a Dusk Stone in it.  Hey, I finally caught a Graveler.  I then went up broke through the rock and went up and ran into Black Belt Gunnar with a Toxicroak.  I used Extrasensory and he went down, up next was Sawk and then the same thing happened.  I then followed the little path and found an item ball with X Attack.  Then back by Gunnar I went the the left and ran into Black Belt Ricardo with a Hariyama.  I used Extrasensory and then Pound to take him out.  Further South and up a slant I found a hidden Dire Hit.  Running down by the cart I found an item ball with Shadow Ball in it and a hidden Max Potion right by it.  After traveling down here I went back up above Gunnar and traveled the ledge up there taking out rocks and Graveler's along the way.  After the second rock was Battle Girl Hailey with a Medicham so I used Surf and took her out.  Up next was Hawlucha and I used Extrasensory and finished the fight.  I then went down the slide and up to find an item ball with an Elixir in it.  I then went far right and down to find an item ball with Full heal in it.  Back up where I found the hidden Dire Hit are Rangers Fern and Lee with Nidoking and Nidoqueen.  So I used Surf and took them booth out.  Oh no, an Ariado swooped down at me.  I found an item ball with Iron Plate to the left.  To the right was a stairwell going up finally.  Going up was Worker Yusif with Probopass, I used surf and took him out.  I went back and broke the first rock and got a Heart Scale and the third one gave me a Revive.  I then followed the ledge to the right and found a hidden Max Repel and an item ball with a Reaper Cloth.  Are you kidding me?  I walked all of this way through this stupid cave to be told by this guy that I cannot go any further unless I am as strong as the Champion.  That is ridiculous.

Finally I made it into Couriway Town and found a hidden Pretty Wing just in front of the Pokecenter.  Now in the Pokecenter I just got down resting up my Pokemon and visiting the Pokemart.  What will tomorrow bring, what is going to happen?

A Short Work Out

Since I was still a little sore from yesterday I did a very short routine today on Wii Fit U.  I did the beginner Luge and advanced Luge.  That advanced one was something else.  I was not quite ready for what to experience on the advanced course and my hands ended up falling behind me.  Later than sooner I found out that having my hands behind me hinders me more than it helps so I braved the rest of the course with my hands back on the board.  Then I did the trampoline and only made it 1300 feet into the air getting only two stars.  If that is only two stars how many do you need for four?  Then I did an ab workout routine with the Jackknife, Leg Twist and a Snow Ball Fight.  A nice relaxing workout today compared to yesterday.

Day 22 of Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt

OH IT'S MISTER TORGUE TIME with Tiny Tina.  Today's target is located in the Southern Raceway in Mr. Torgues DLC.  And the name of the target is Motor Momma.  So after fast traveling to the Southern Raceway you can either grab yourself a vehicle and travel down the left side until you can no longer go any further with a vehicle or you can just run.  Once you make it to the gate you have to walk on foot.  I took out my share of the Momma's boys and moved into the arena.  I took out her bike with a few shots, and then I shot her in the face.  She dropped some Teeth and I picked it up to claim the bounty.

Today's community goal is to take out some Feeler Threshers.  80 thousand to be exact.  Just go running to either Caustic Caverns or any where in the Highlands.  Make sure you use your teeth or you wont get any credit.

Saving The Pokemon World From Annilation

Geosenge town is just packed full on these Team Flare Grunts.  It looks like I can not going south at all and possibly not into any of the buildings (besides the Pokecenter).  The Grunt in front of the house says something about the entrance to their secret HQ may be in a boulder.  I bet it has to deal with that one from earlier where that Grunt disappeared in front of.  So I headed over there passed the huge stone flower and was challenged by a Grunt with Manectric.  I had Linoone use Surf and toke him out.  Next up was Scrafty so I switched to Talonflame and used Peck two time to finish him off.  Last up was Golbat so I took out my Raichu and used Thunderbolt against him and finished the battle.  I made it up to the rock and there was a door there, and what is this, Serena is coming with me.

Once upon entering the door I hit the switch to descend in the elevator and exit through the door.  The next room is just packed with these guys.  I wonder if I will battle them all?  Well it looks like I do not have to battle any of them.  After talking to all the Grunts and the Scientists I made my way to Lysandre.  All of this chitter chatter about the way things must be and then all of a sudden he starts crying, but why.  Oh no, Pokemon shall no longer exist if he uses this weapon.

Now the ultimate battle with Lysandre.  First to go up against was Mienshao, I tried Strength again him and just about cut him all the way down.  He used Sword Dance, so I chose Slash to take him out.  Up next was Gyarados so I switched to my Raichu and used Thunder to be avoided and just about taken out with an Earthquake.  I tried Thunder once more and took him out.  Then we move onto Pyroar (does Lysandre look like Pyroar, or does Pyroar look like Lysandre?).  I used Surf and was please that he went down.  Finally I became subject to Honchkrow, so I thought I would take out my Raichu for one final attack.  I may have used a little bit of over kill, but you can never be too carefull, with Thunder and took him out.  (I just notice something thunder is the noise caused from lighting, yet electric moves have Thunder in the name, I don't know it is all sorts of confusing).  Finally I beat this fool, this guy is so sad.  What, he is saying there is no hope still after taking him out.

Something about us having to find the legendary Pokemon.  Is it down in the basement?  How did he get it?  Before moving far down the corridor I am challenged by and Admin and a Grunt with a Toxicroak and a Liepard.  I took out my Linoone and Serena took out Meowstic.  I used Strength on Liepard, and she Psychic on Toxicroak and we finished the battle just like that.  Another group, this time with a Manectric and a Mightyena.  I used Strength on the Manectric hurt her only a little bit and got paralyzed in the process.  Serena used Psychic to almost finish the job on her.  I then tried Strenght on Mightyena, but was paralyzed, and Serena finished Manectric with Psychic.  One more try on Mightyena, Serena you Disarming Voice to do a good job and I just about finished him of with Strength.  Serena finished him off with Disarming Voice.  After these goons Shauna shows up behind us and wants to be there for us.  After a very long descent there were another pair of those goons, this time with Houndoom and Scrafty.  I tried out Strength on Scrafty and took him out halfway, she used Fake Out on Houndoom.  Then I did Strength on more time on Scrafty, and she did Disarmy Voice to finish him out and harm Houndoom in the process.  Then she went down and sent out Vaporean.  My next move was a Headbutt and that just about did the job, then she used Muddy Waters and finish it.

Hey, remember that device Shauna got very early in the game, she is using it here to unlock that door.  What is waiting for me on the inside?  Some strange machine.  So it looks like I have four Admins to take out before saving the legendary Pokemon.  First one we have a Liepard, you know I used Strength to take her out.  Then we got a Manectric, so of course I used Strength and Slash to finish the battle.  The next Admin on the left has just a Swalot, since I was starting to run out of Strengths I decided to start using Headbutts.  It took two and a Slash to take this girl out.  Now the Admin on the right started out with a Mightyena.  So I started the battle out with a Headbutt and finished it off with a Slash.  Next up was Houndoom so here I switched to Greninja and used Water Pulse and took him out.  The last Admin had just a Golbat (don't know why the last was just a Golbat).  So I used Headbutt on him and then Slash and finished all of this battling.

Finally I will be able to save the Pokemon.  Wait, what is happening?  The cocoon thingy is hatching.  Woh, it looks so pissed.  Wait, why is it attacking me?  I was just trying to save its life.  Alright, so the key here is to not kill it, so first I started off with a Headbutt and it flinched, then I did another one with the same results.  I think one more Headbutt will be adequate enough to be able to catch it.  I tried one Ultra ball and it kicked two times, but escaped.  I really should have used Capture O-Power.  Oh man, some monstrous attack just about took me out and healed him in the process.  I then tried another Ultra Ball and it only shook once and then it finished off my Linoone.  So I brought out my Blaziken and tried another Ultra Ball and this time it locked up in the ball.  Now I have Yveltal and I must decide on who I should replace in my party.  I decided on replacing Talonflame for now.

What another battle against Lysandre?  This time he looks way different and I never got a chance to revive my Linoone, but somehow all of my Pokemon have full health (somehow we are battling on the sun).  First up was Mienshao, so I used Oblivion Wing and too him out.  Then we have Pyroar again, so I switched to Greninja and used Surf and took him out too.  Then we got Honchkrow so I sent out my Raichu and used Thunderbolt on him.  Last up was Gyarados so I kept my Raichu out and used Thunderbolt.  Woh, it's Mega Gyardos.  Still no real match against my Thunderbolt, I should have used Thunder though cause he took me out with Earthquake.  You know what, flying is immune to Earthquake, so come back out Yveltal.  I used Oblivion Wing and finished the battle.  Has, this guy saw only one vision of people taking things for themselves and not caring about others so that is why he was going to make the world the way he wanted (kind of hypocritical).  What, he still plans on using it even though it hardly has any power left.  The light shoots high into the ground and falls back down into the flower and then sinks into the ground.  Now there is a giant crater in town.  Hey that really tall guy shows up here.  How did he get out of his cell.  I wonder if his Pokemon is a secret legendary anywhere out there?

Now I flew back to Anistar City (after teaching Fly to Yveltal) and and sitting in the Pokecenter.  What adventure awaits me next?  Don't forget to follow, comment and +1.

What Game Should I Play Next?

I know it is a little too early to be asking this question since I still have Pokemon Y to play (and I bet I have a lot more hours that I could put into it).  I am considering on finishing up some Zelda games and am wondering which one I should do after I beat Skyward Sword (whenever I get the chance to beat that, I am at the last temple).

So my choices are all of the games that I have on my 3DS in other words.  I already beat Ocarina of Time (which felt way shorter than I originally remembered), so that one is out of the question for now.  The three that I need to beat are the two Oracle games (I was really getting into them and then I just forgot about them because of a different game that I was playing), and Minish Cap.  Now I believe of the three games the only one that I had beaten on the Gameboy Oracle of Ages (I borrowed it from a friend and had little time to play it so all of my time was focused on it and some how I beat it easily).  I also have Minish Cap for the GBA and I have no clue how far I was, but I know that I did not beat it.

Currently my progression through the games is I believe I had just finished the third dungeon in the Oracle games, and I think maybe I finished one or two on Minish.  So I probably have more to go with that game.

Oh well, it is up to you I guess to help me figure this out.  Which one should I finish first?  I would like to finish at least one of these before A Link Between Worlds comes out, and hopefully I will get that (I would also like to get Windwaker HD too).

So let me know in the comments what you think.

Hofta, Working Out in Wii Fit U

Even though I don't see myself as being out of shape, after forty minutes of working out (some of the balance games and the dancing work outs) I realized I must be out of shape.

First up on today's agenda is to test out the new ones to this version.  So the first thing I did was went into Select Exercise and went down to Balance Games.  I scrolled to the right and found Hosedown and picked that one.  It took only a few seconds to figure out what to do and I was a hosing machine.  You just aim with the game pad and push pressure onto the balance board, the more pressure the more water comes out.



Next one up was Dessert Course.  This one I actually played two times because the first time I just did so bad at it.  It took me too long to get the groove down and be able to get from one place to another.  I thought that you needed to tilt pad in order to turn (which caused a lot of disasters), but it turned out you just need to turn the pad in you hands to change direction.  And then I came to the dessert that was a sphere shape and both times I dropped it to the customer.  After that you then get multiples of items on your plate.  Right here was the furthest I made it on the first play through.  Eventually you get two cake rolls, which I though was hard, until the last plate.

Next up I did Core Luge.  I was pretty sure that I was not going to be able to make it all the way through.  I just about put my hands behind me, but I resisted the urge and made it all the way to the bottom, but not before hitting the walls a few times.  I am actually going to do this one once more after I am done writing this just to feel the burn again.  To play was easy.  You just sit on the balance board and lean as far back as you can to go fast.  You then lift up on one side to turn the other way.

Then I did Scuba Search (no that is not a photo from the game).  All you have to do is walk on the balance board and turn around.  The game pad is your eyes and as you turn, it turns too.  There is not straightening the view out.  So if you turn all the way around, then you better be standing facing away from your TV.  You swim around collecting items.  I found a coin and some turtles and fish on my play through, then I accidentally swam under the boat and ended the game.

Then I did some Climbing.  So the goal here is to make it from the bottom to the top in a short amount of time.  It took me over four minutes to do because it felt just a little odd to me, but I got used to it about half way up.  You must be able to move one arm and not let the other one tire out.  I don't know what happens if you arm becomes too tired because it did not happen to me, but I would assume you would fall down and probably be severely injured or even die.

I am not going to go into a lengthy discussion about Dance.  All I can say is that I tried all of them and found out that I have no rhythm at all.  I also noticed that it wasn't picking up all of my flicking of the wii remotes and some of my stepping was off.  Not sure what was up with that.

After playing these games and starting the trial I think I am for surely going to get the Wii Fit Meter.  Sure I live a very sentient life style (I am a substitute teacher for Pete's sake) so I probably wont be moving around too much, but at least this will be able to track a lot and put it into the game for me to track what I am doing.  And it is only $19.99, who can beat that.

Day 21 in Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt

So my fears were realized.  I was wondering if I would be able to take down this weeks final challenge to get the sniper in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.  No I was not.  So I had to play on Normal Mode to take out Rouge from Candlerakk's Crag (Sir Hammerlock DLC).  So after starting up I went to the fast travel system and went to Candlerakk's Crag.  The best path to take is to just go right whenever you hit a split.  When you finally get to him he pops out of the ground.  For me I was able to his each spot once and eventually take him down.  I was having a hard time finding the look, but eventually found it about 100 feet away from where I killed him.

Thank goodness there is no community goal today, so that means that we get the Skullmasher sniper.  Of course I was hoping this would have happened in some place where I could do it in Ultimate Mode, but alas we cannot always get what we want.  Maybe I will get a little further in the game this weekend on that mode and be able to take in the challenges of the Hunt on a harder difficulty.
