A new "Awakening"
Okay, got "Smash 4" (and FYI ended up getting both versions), found I can still use Peach quite well but a major change in Zelda's play mechanics (again, due solely to technical issues stemming from the decision to make both a 3DS and Wii U version of the game) cost her her position as my second main, as a result began seeking a successor among the ( Read more... ) -
Meeting the new guys
As mentioned earlier, when I got "Smash 4" I pretty much went in (mostly) blind. Of course I played as Princess Peach first thing; she's been one of my so-called "mains" ever since "Melee", and I trusted her. She didn't let me down, happy to say. However, one of the developments I'd heard about was that Princess Zelda, my other main, could no ( Read more... ) -
That's just smashing!
So I got a Wii U for Christmas.
I'd been hesitant to get/ask for one even with Nintendo discontinuing support for the Wii, but while I was visiting my grandparents between DragonCon and Anime Weekend Atlanta last year, my aunt invited us over for some first anniversary cake. It was there that my (then) nine year old cousin showed me "Super Mario ( Read more... ) -
Okay, here's the deal...
That entry I was working on? One of the two other planned entries and a third unplanned one brought on by recent events? They are/were all varying degrees of negative in subject, tone, nature, etc.; the full plan was to write and post those ones, then post the one on my recent "major distraction", get back to documenting my big Disney trip (I've ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes you just have to let go (a little more personal than usual)
No, this isn't what I mentioned having started on in my previous entry (or even the other two planned ones mentioned there), just something I saw fit to put up now in the event I don't finish that one before midnight (a likely scenario given the "major distraction"/subject of one of the other two planned posts). This is something I could've just ( Read more... ) -
When one just can't make it before midnight
The month got away from me not for the first time. This time, though, I've actually got something started and have been working on here and there, but there's no way I'll finish it before midnight and I'd rather not rush it. I also have two other things I planned to write about (including what has become a major distraction), but again such entries ( Read more... ) -
The April Fool that wasn't, or: This is why I generally don't participate in that holiday
Last year I actually stayed off the internet altogether for twenty-four hours (give or take a few minutes) for April Fool's Day. This year, I had actually planned to participate in the holiday, and since it's not April Fool's Day right now I can assure you I'm not joking. In fact, I had multiple pranks planned, and since I just can't let those ( Read more... ) -
Hiatus, again
I will get to documenting the "sea" portion of my big trip, but I've got a few other things I'd like to go ahead and touch on (wanted to get to a good stopping point for the trip report first). Yes, among those is the not-so-awaited fifth entry in a certain series of posts (yeah, I know, but in this era of the internet and social media simply not ( Read more... ) -
A Wrecked Plan Is Fixed
Remember our earlier plans to at least briefly visit Downtown Disney- sorry, Disney Springs- including DisneyQuest which is sadly on the chopping block? Yes, those plans were cancelled after we ended up driving to Orlando and got caught in that traffic jam and indeed the day after we attended Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was the day our ( Read more... ) -
A Swingin' Wake
As I mentioned back when I first announced this trip, the reason I wanted to go in October was so I could attend Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party- MNSSHP for short- after years of envying other cosplayers' photos of them in the Magic Kingdom itself in full cosplay. Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly go to Disney whenever and just wear Disneybound ( Read more... )
