I sure am making a lot of video game blog posts, lately....oh well!

[link]

read it.
watch the trailer.

and if you played any of the classic Sonic games, feel free to freak out xD if this really is an honest attempt to go back to their roots, Sega will have my favor once again...especially if it works!

Do you like Halo?
like...REALLY like Halo?
then get ready...

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaand
go! it's ok! you can freak out now! you already did it with the Marvel buy-up, so you might as well do this with this new bit of info!

We know. As if it hasn't been spouted out enough.

If anything bad DOES happen, it'll probably be in 10 years from now.

'In a conference call with investors discussing the detail today, Disney's senior vice president of investor relations, Lowell Singer, directly addressed the videogame issue. He mentioned Marvel's "smart licensing agreements with some of the best videogame manufacturers in the business" before adding that they're not ruling out "the blend of licensing and self-produced and distributed videogames."

"As these licensing deals expire, we have the luxury of considering what's best for the company and the products," he mentioned, referring to the previously mentioned deals with THQ, Activision, and Sega, as well as Gazillion, many of which won't expire until nearly 2020. If changes are coming, it's likely we won't see them for quite some time'

there you have it. IF bad stuff is gonna happen where we see Mickey Mouse Crusading around with a zombie Captain America (he's dead, btw. did you hear?) then it will probably happen for our kids to see and hear. and then we can all sound like crotchety old coots and use the phrase "when i was your age" and shake our fists for some strange reason...

speaking of fist shaking...

You can has status update on Manji? =o

Right, so not a whole ton of stuff has really happened since the last journal..to name a few things:

I've been getting a little bored of Mabinogi...i dont intend to flat out quit it, but i'll probably take a break...but Nexon decided to put on an event to get free stuff, so i may pop on a lot more than i just said i would xP darnit Nexon

Search for a summer job = fail
Search for a job for the this coming semester at school = in progress
Research opportunity get? maybe. i'll let you guys know...if i remember >.>

Been playing Alundra a lot...like i should've been doing MONTHS ago when i got it xD
it really is a lot like Zelda...i spent like 25 minutes on one single room in this desert shrine x.x it was pretty rough, but it's still fun =3

I took my PC to the person that helped me build it to try and see if we could make it run faster. It turns out, there was a driver missing that we forgot to install...something called an SM Bus Controller...we missed it the first time because it didn't install right away from the disc. we had to manually find it on the driver disc =/ so when we tried to install the driver, it said Windows needed to be updated...when we tried to update windows, it said "something's wrong. could not update"...

so we just whiped the whole operating system and reinstalled it =3
unfortunately, when we were deleting the partition the OS was installed on, we found an odd partition that we didnt recognize, and we deleted that...that was my external hard drive...so i basically wound up reinstalling Windows, causing me to reinstall most of my programs, and reformatting my external hard drive, causing me to lose most of the program stuffs i had wanted to save that i put on that external hard drive. can you say "Baleeted?"

but my PC runs so much more smoothly now =3 before it took 15 minutes from the time i pressed the power button until the time firefox was usable...now..it only takes a little over 2 minutes which makes me very, very, very happy =3


last, but not least...i couldn't sleep last night....soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i stayed up til 7 am and beat Mother 3 =3 the ending was amazing. my mouth was just hanging open at a few parts. literally, jaw dropping. you wouldn't normally expect that from a very simplistically-designed and simplistic graphics-wise gameboy advanced game... normally....which just goes to show that the Earthbound series is amazing x3


and how am i doing? pretty good =3 i've just been doing whatever and hanging out with people irl. oh, and i cleaned my apartment when i got back on tuesday. we hadn't really cleaned it since we got it, and when i walked through the door on tuesday the place looked HORRIBLE. so i took the liberty of cleaning most of it. we just need to clean the bathtub and clean the kitchen. those are the only two places left.

anywho, that's all from me for now >.> so..

1.) what does a subscription do again?

2.) srsly, what does a subscription do again? xD
TTN asked this in a recent journal of hers, and i felt compelled to ask to get a response as well. i know that you can make polls and edit your journal posts to look like a mini xanga page in a deviantart window, but other than that, WHAT DOES IT DO?! >>;

3.) Real Drive. i love it. it's great. it has a few chubby characters in it, but the story greatly overpowers the FA side of me...hopefully it will for everyone who decides to check it out based on this journal it's really a terrific anime. i finished episode 6 last night and i felt like i was about to cry! (seriously, it's a GREAT anime!)

4.) still haven't beaten Mother 3....i got too focused on mabinogi >>; i should beat it sometime. i'm right at the last line of battles, too! lol

5.) yes, i'm still alive. no, i haven't been getting on my IM programs. yes, i know you miss me. no, chances are i probably won't get on them anymore. yes, i know i said i'd get on them more, but quite frankly, i've never consistently been able to start getting on them more often to please the people that wish to talk to me. so why make myself into a liar when i should just say it outright? sorry guys =\

6.) If you want to friend me:
don't ask me "hey! can i be your friend?" not to sound like a bitch or anything, but it seems a little redundant when you add me and i add you and then you ask 'can we be friends?' it saves yourself the trouble, saves yourself from getting talked down to by me, and it saves me the trouble of feeling like an asshole by telling you that
ALSO: if you send me a message hoping to RP with me.........don't.
i haven't done that in so long that i'm not even really sure i ever will RP again hardcore like i used to....or even CLOSE to the type of core i'm thinking of >>
regardless: no RPs. if you're hoping to get some hanky-panky hot stuff out of Manji, guess again.

7.) ........kthxbai
