The Schedule for the Coming Week

Well, January's finally over. I'm surprised it came and went so quickly, to be honest. But for me that just means that Spring will get here faster, hooray! But for now, we just have to get through February and a bit of March and we're all set. Until then, though, let's talk about this week's schedule, which I always play by ear to begin with, but ah well, I have to start somewhere. Also, a huge thanks to everyone who's been consistently looking at my blog this month, this has been the most popular month since September, and I know it's thanks to everyone who's constantly been reading "Fire Emblem Awakening Randomizer" from way back in August! I didn't think it'd be so popular, but thanks so much for constantly taking a look at it! Anyways, enough sappy talk from me, let's look!

Wednesday (1st): Ape Escape 3
Thursday (2nd): Simpsons Road Rage
Friday (3rd): Super Monkey Ball 2
Saturday (4th): A new poll (Let's face it, Kingdom Hearts won this poll, there's no question xD)
Sunday (5th): Kirby Air Ride
Monday (6th): Sonic Gems Collection
Tuesday (7th): Possibly a title in the Game Boy or DS family
Wednesday (8th): LEGO The Hobbit
Thursday (9th): LEGO The Hobbit Trophy Guide

Wow, I'm surprised I actually thought of a whole 9 days ahead with the posts. I'm proud of myself. But, that's what you can look forward to in the coming week and a half! Thanks so much for always coming by, I appreciate it! :D

Sonic Mega Collection

I remember coming home from school one day to play this game. My dad surprised me with it and I played it immediately (I think I got home a little bit earlier than my sister did). And of course, I had to stop because we had to pick up my sister from school. But this game will always have a pretty nice niche in my heart because this was my first exposure to the Sonic games I didn't have on the Genesis (for reference, the only Sonic game I own on the Genesis is Sonic 3D Blast, and I got Sonic Adventure DX after this game, but DX had Game Gear titles as emblem rewards.).

It was fun, and I love all of the games on here, especially (everyone's favorite) Sonic 3 & Knuckles, because playing two games in one.. 2 games in 2 (Since it's a game within a game?) is always a lot of fun, plus it lets you use the overly-powerful Hyper Sonic, as well as Super Tails and Super Knuckles. Plus it's just fun playing Sonic 3 from Kunckles' perspective, and the same applies to Sonic 2, although Knuckles can't jump worth anything, so...

I always enjoyed Sonic Spinball and Mean Bean Machine, because, well, they're a lot of fun, and even though I've never played the game that Mean Bean Machine was based on, it's still silly and fun to play. As for Spinball, well, it's hard, but it's still a lot of fun and I enjoy playing it every now and then again.

One last game I had a lot of fun playing/discovering was Ristar, a game that I wish was more popular, as I find it to be a really enjoyable experience, with colorful levels and pleasant music, to awesome designs and enemies and everything else. I just wish I was better at finding all of the bonus levels and collecting the treasures..

And lastly, I always enjoyed looking through the cover art for Sonic comics, as well as reading the comic that's within the collection, they're really cool to see (And seeing "Sonic LIVE" made my nostalgia scream because I had that comic as a kid and I read it all the time!). This title is pure nostalgia for a lot of people, but a fun way to enjoy these classic Sonic games of old. As always, thanks so much for reading, I appreciate it a lot! I will be putting up a small schedule tomorrow, so we can plan out the next week. I'll see you later! :D

Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island

As a sequel, or I guess, the second game in the Nicktoons Unite series, this was a lot more fun than the first. More characters, bigger areas, etc., it's just a lot of fun. And in this one, they're all together to save an island from evil. It's essentially Nicktoons Unite, but better, and without the ability to play as Jimmy Neutron anymore.

This game still only has a few universes helping each other, specifically the SpongeBob, Danny Phantom, and Fairly Odd Parents universes. Squidward, Jimmy, and Tucker appear in the game as well, but they're only as support. Another cool thing is that every character has their own collectibles, as well, which makes it partially a collect-a-thon, which always makes me happy.

Honestly it's just a lot of fun to go back to every so often, and there are fun bonus levels as well, specific for each characters. And as you can see on the image above, unlockable costumes are always fun, as well, at least to me they are.

I don't know, it's a lot of the same premises and mechanics as the previous game, but still expanded enough to be a fun and enjoyable experience all around. I love the game a lot and I definitely need to go back to it sometime soon! As always, thanks for reading, and I will see you later! :D

Early Poll Observation

Sorry for the late post today, I got super distracted today and I honestly lost all track of time today, so I'm really sorry about that. I just wanted to notice, real fast, that the poll seems to already be over, despite having quite some time left on it. Borderlands 2 is eating Kingdom Hearts' massive amount of dust at the moment. If you want Borderlands, please vote for it. I'm pretty much accepting that Kingdom Hearts will win but I'm still going to wait before I start it, just because it's only fair. I've already finished Assassin's Creed 4, so now I'm enjoying the trophy break for the time being. See you tomorrow for a better, and earlier, post. Sorry!!

Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World Demo

So I just learned that the demo for the 3DS port of Woolly World a couple nights ago, and I had as much fun as I expected to have! It was super cute and the aesthetic was super-pleasing, as I expected. The music was beautiful and it was all really cute, and it, of course, reminded me of Kirby's Epic Yarn, but I think this game is like.. the spiritual successor to Kirby's Epic Yarn, so it makes sense. There are only two levels in the demo, both in World 1, but I enjoyed both levels and got 100% on each, collecting all of the yarn pieces, flowers, and finding all of the little secrets. It honestly makes me want to buy this game more than ever now, as well as replay Kirby's Epic Yarn. If you're wanting to try this game, definitely play the demo after getting it from the eShop, you will not be disappointed! Thanks for reading, as always, and I will see you later! :D

Minecraft PS3 Trophy Guide

Welcome to the trophy guide for Minecraft on PS3! This only applies to the base game, so the original 29 trophies (28 normal and the platinum) so the expansion trophies will NOT be on here. As such this will be a pretty short guide, but the game's trophies are straightforward enough, and there's a small few that require some explanation, but since everyone plays Minecraft differently, a single tactic won't work for everyone, so do things the way you want to! Also note that you can get a LOT of these trophies, if not all of them, within the Tutorial World, and since it's the Tutorial World, you're taught basics and a lot of other stuff. I got the platinum a year ago in January of 2016, and since there's been a new update it's not the same World, but the point is that you can platinum this game within it! Let's go!

Awarded all trophies All trophies have been awarded.

As usual, collect the other 28 trophies to collect this platinum trophy! Congrats!

Taking Inventory Open your inventory.

At any time, simply hit Triangle to open your inventory. Because you HAVE to do this constantly in Minecraft, for anything, this trophy is technically not missable. It is literally impossible to miss.

Getting Wood Punch a tree until the block of wood comes out.

This is essential for any new player, punching wood from trees to, at least, make a workbench and to make a makeshift shelter. Once you do this once, this is yours.

Benchmarking Craft a workbench with four blocks of wooden planks.

You make wooden planks with the blocks of wood from the trees. After you have the planks, use 4 of them to make a workbench, which is essential to make many other things in this game, so this is also pretty unlikely to be missed, if not impossible to miss.

Time to Mine! Use planks and sticks to make a pickaxe.

Another one that's really hard to miss, as you need a pickaxe to mine and to start digging holes and finding neat stuff. Sticks are made from the planks, so make sure to have plenty of them.

Hot Topic Construct a furnace out of eight cobblestone blocks.

Cobblestone is the most common block you'll find as you mine your life away. After obtaining 8, craft a furnace and this is yours. You'll need the furnace to turn your ore blocks into actual ore to be used in the future.

Acquire Hardware Smelt an iron ingot.

Take one of your iron ore blocks and put it into your furnace. After it finishes, you'll have one shiny iron ingot and that's all she wrote for this trophy.

Time to Farm! Use planks and sticks to make a hoe.

If you're planning on doing any sort of gardening or harvesting, a hoe is vital for that to till the soil for your seeds. Simply craft a hoe at a workbench and you're ready to farm it up!

Bake Bread Turn wheat into bread.

If you spawn a world that has a village in it, you'll easily find wheat to turn into bread. Otherwise wheat can be found in chests, but it's better to find a village in your world somewhere, as it's the easier way. But in the Tutorial World, the food supplies are always around, so it makes this way easier.

The Lie Bake a cake using wheat, sugar, milk, and eggs!

Sugar is collected from sugarcane, which it typically found near bodies of water. Milk is, of course, taken from a cow using a bucket, and eggs are found from your chickens. Simply collect 3 wheat, 3 buckets of milk, 2 pieces of sugar, and an egg, and the cake is yours, and that's no lie.

Getting an Upgrade Construct a better pickaxe.

You're honestly just making a stone pickaxe with this one, which is better than a wooden one. It's the same process, just using cobblestone instead of wood for this one.

Delicious Fish Catch and cook a fish.

Just catch a fish and then throw it in the furnace like other food items. You can use the rods in the Tutorial World in order to catch the fish easily.

On A Rail Travel by minecart to a point at least 500m in a single direction from where you started.

500m = 500 blocks. That is a LOT of tracks, powered rails, and Redstone Torches for the powered rails. A nice way to do this is to dig a tunnel and put a torch and powered rail at every interval of.. about 30. This way, each torch counts as 30, which means that you'll need, at minimum, 16 Redstone Torches (30x16 = 480, so, close enough). Once you've succeeded, this trophy is finally yours.

Time to Strike! Use planks and sticks to make a sword.

You'll get this early on as you'll want to make a sword to fend off monsters in the early stages of the game, and it, of course, does more damage than your fist.

Monster Hunter Attack and destroy a monster.

Kill any monster, like a Zombie or Spider, and this is all yours.

Cow Tipper Harvest some leather.

Kill a cow and collect the leather from it. Super easy, and cows are found generally everywhere that animals can spawn. Just look for big rectangular-shaped animals that look like cows.

When Pigs Fly Use a saddle to ride a pig, then have the pig get hurt from fall damage while riding it.

This is pretty difficult, honestly, as I suck at riding pigs and directing them properly. I think the pig was JUST falling off the ledge when I managed to get on the saddle and get this properly. Just keep trying and look for a good video online if it's giving you some trouble, like it honestly did for me.

Leader Of The Pack Befriend five wolves.

Easily done in the Tutorial World as it has a tutorial on befriending animals, and you can easily befriend the wolves while in there.

MOAR Tools Construct one type of each tool (one pickaxe, one spade, one axe and one hoe).

Easily done again. You'll make a pickaxe no matter what, and having a spade (shovel) handy is always good for sand and dirt that you won't wanna waste pickaxes on. Regular axes are great for chopping wood, and a hoe is good for farming. Since you have to make a hoe for a trophy anyway, might as well make them all.

Dispense With This Construct a Dispenser.

You need 7 blocks of cobblestone, one redstone, and one undamaged bow. Put them all together and you have one Dispenser and one more trophy in the bag.

Into The Nether Construct a Nether Portal.

You need a Diamond Pickaxe to be able to take Obsidian from the lowest layers of your world. In order to construct and activate the Nether Portal, you'll need 10 blocks of Obsidian, minimum (a 4x5 frame, with the corners not included, so 2 blocks on the top and bottom, with 3 for each side). Then you need to start a fire inside of the frame, most commonly with flint and steel, made with one flint and one iron ingot. Flint is found from gravel sometimes, so keep digging. Activate the Portal and head inside, and this trophy is yours. Good luck!

Sniper Duel Kill a skeleton with an arrow from more than 50 meters.

A little bit tough, but nothing too bad. 1 meter is equal to one block, so 50 blocks is quite the distance. Just get really far from the Skeleton and aim wisely, and once you kill it, you're all done.

DIAMONDS! Acquire diamonds with your iron tools.

You'll be searching long, maybe, and hard for the diamonds, but once you find the blocks with an aqua color to them, you've hit diamond. Hopefully you can find a nice vein, as you'll need diamonds for a lot of things, especially for a Diamond Pickaxe to deal with Obsidian.

Return to Sender Destroy a Ghast with a fireball.

You have to reflect the fireball back at it, and the Ghast has to die. It's probably easier to be closer to one, but just be careful of the damage, and definitely watch your surroundings while in the Nether, you never know what might be behind you, or not behind you, like land to walk on.

Into Fire Relieve a Blaze of its rod.

Blaze rods are required to construct an Eye of Ender in order to locate the End Portal. Blazes are found within Nether Fortresses, seen near spawners and with the rods orbiting around them. If the Blaze drops its rod, pick it up and this trophy is yours. Just watch out for any of its nearby friends!

Local Brewery Brew a potion.

Use the Tutorial World for potion brewing. I'm honestly not skilled at it, and I know the Tutorial World is how I got this. Potions honestly aren't for me, but I know one day I'll need to learn how to make them. Just brew any potion and this is yours.

The End? Enter an End Portal.

Using an Eye of Ender, you throw it and follow it to the dungeon that has the Portal in it. Once that's done, just enter it for this trophy, but hopefully you're prepared, because...

The End. Kill the Enderdragon.

The Enderdragon isn't as difficult as you may think. The most frightening part is the potential to be knocked off the stage to your doom if you have to climb the towers to destroy the beacons. Otherwise, destroy the beacons with arrows, then attack away until the mighty beast is felled. Congrats!

Enchanter Construct an Enchantment Table.

You need one book (easily collected from destroying bookshelves if you have a village nearby), 2 diamonds, and 4 blocks of obsidian. Simply make this and you're good. It might take a while to obtain the diamonds and obsidian so be careful!

And that's all for the trophy guide! As I said, really short compared to most trophy lists, but it's still a lot of fun anyways. Thanks so much for reading this guide, I appreciate any time you put towards this blog. And I will see you later! Good luck on the platinum! :D

*This game took me a total of 1 year and 11 months to complete, including a decent-timed hiatus during the process. My first trophy was "Getting Wood" which was achieved on January 18th, 2014 at 2:58 AM. My final trophy was "The End." which was achieved on January 2nd, 2016 at 7:12 PM, along with the platinum, "Awarded all trophies." This platinum trophy is the 33rd platinum trophy I have received.*

Minecraft (PS3 Edition)

I didn't think I'd be talking about a huge game like this until I had a bigger audience, but this is what was voted on so I'll do as the viewers wish. I didn't truly get into Minecraft at first, since I never really played it on PC, since I've never had a gaming computer. I have it on PS3, however, so it definitely counts.

It's a fun game, I can see where the popularity and the fun comes from, as I definitely enjoy playing the game, and I had fun watching YouTubers play it, like Markiplier's "Drunk Minecraft" series or PeanutButterGamer's "Minecraft Hardcore" series. Those two really helped me enjoy the game more and it gave me a general interest in Minecraft as a whole, so I definitely thank them for sparking my interest.

Sadly, the most I've done in Minecraft, other than trophy hunt in it, was making things in Creative Mode, but I've done Survival quite a handful of times, as well. I've made silly houses, and I think my best one was a house with a trapdoor that had tunnels to other locations and rooms. It was underground so it felt really cool to me (I should probably remake that house sometime...).

I know that I'll be playing Minecraft on and off for a long time to come, and I typically like to remake NES title screens in my Creative Mode. it takes a really long time and some precise pixel measurements but it's a lot of fun and a great time waster!

There's not much else I can say about Minecraft that hasn't been said, but it's a ton of fun and I'd recommend it to anybody who wants a stress-reliever or time-waster. Thanks for reading, as always, and I will see you tomorrow for the trophy guide! :D

SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom

So, this is one of the small amount of SpongeBob games that I've played, and this one was always enjoyable to me. I think it's because it reminds me of Mario 64 in a sense, as the big levels have Golden Spatulas, and you obtain them in various missions. The difference is that you don't get booted out of the level after obtaining one. And the Spatulas are used to open up new levels, and it's just an all-around fun time.

I wish I could remember a lot from this game, I know I always had a ton of fun with it and always went back to replay it every so often. I always enjoyed the boss battles a lot, especially when you play as more than one character in order to complete it. Like, when you battle Robot Sandy, you alternate between SpongeBob and Patrick to defeat it, and you control Sandy during the Robot Patrick battle. I know that there were plans for a Robot Squidward, but they never got it into the full game. A real shame, honestly.

I wish I had more to remember about the game, other than the few things I talked about, but I sadly don't own this game anymore. I traded it in years ago (not sure why I did that. Really awful mistake, honestly) and I haven't played it, or seen it, since. One day I'll have to find it and play it again, though. I know I'd have a lot of fun replaying it again.

Thanks for reading, I'm sorry this post was really short. Tomorrow's post will be about Minecraft, and the trophy guide comes on Thursday so I hope you're excited for it. I'll see you later! :D

New Poll is Up! It's a Big One!

So, while this poll isn't anything specific to the blog, note that both games in it will have trophy guides at some point or another after I obtain the platinums in them. So the idea is to pick the game you think I should play for my 50th platinum, as I am very close to obtaining the platinum for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which will be platinum 49 (I really have no life). I know, again, it's not super specific to the blog, but it's... a personal achievement of my own, I guess. 50 platinums? Like, I don't know, that's a big deal for me, because I've put so much effort into these trophies and I haven't given up, despite a lot of hiatuses and wanting to give up at times.

But enough sappy-talk from me, the choices are between Borderlands 2 and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. The poll ends in 2 weeks, on the 6th of February, so you have plenty of time to vote. I can't wait to see what everyone says!

Fairly Odd Parents: Shadow Showdown

Well, as promised, here's the sequel to Breakin' Da Rules. I think the best part of the box art is that it gives a huge hint at who the final boss is, as once you reach a certain level in this game, you meet a character who looks eerily identical to that shadowy figure on the cover. Kind of ironic, but still a nice little touch, if you ask me.

So, this game is nearly identical to Breakin' Da Rules in gameplay structure, except it build upon everything. You can sprint now, you can buy permanent power-ups and health upgrades, and the levels aren't linear, they're huge with 3 different sets of areas, one wish happening in each section, with the third area being the boss area (but the final wish isn't always just for the boss, which makes it a bit less predictable).

I definitely like this one more than B.D.R. if only because it feels longer and it feels like it has more substance in it. There's just more to do. I mean, sure, you're still running from point A to point B, collecting wish stars and using the wish to traverse in the area you're in. But this game has one of my favorite aspects of gaming... It's also kind of a collect-a-thon! Yep, permanent things to find (More than just collecting 4 Crimson Chin Cards in each level back in B.D.R.), such as episode clips, stickers, crown coins to buy those upgrades, and more. It just adds to it, gives you more to do in each level. That's why I love it so much.

That's really all I have to say about Shadow Showdown, it's really a bigger, more expanded Breakin' Da Rules, but it manages to have a lot more to it and has more substance than its prequel. It just feels more fun and feels like you're not just going from level-to-level, from point A to point B in a line. You'll want to look everywhere, and once you get upgrades and radar items, like having coins and presents on your radar, it makes the search easier and more fun. I know I say it too often, but I just love it and love playing it. Thanks so much for reading, and I will see you later! :D

Fairly Odd Parents: Breakin' Da Rules

Boy I am just going through Nickelodeon games left and right aren't I? But hey, they're fun to me, so it counts. So I haven't seen much of Fairly Odd Parents since I saw "Grow Up, Timmy Turner!" and that was supposed to be the finale of the series, but then it got to stay on the air, most likely because it's like.. the 2nd longest running show on Nickelodeon still, just under SpongeBob himself, but I digress.

So, much like Rocket Power: Beach Bandits, this is one of those games I always enjoy going back to and replaying. I know part of it is because of the fact that I could never get past an early level because my old controller didn't register vertical movement as well as horizontal, so for the ending part of the level "A Badge Too Far," I couldn't outrun Vicky to the end of the stage after a certain part as the downward movement I was going at wasn't enough to avoid losing my lives. Frustrating, honestly. But the fault was on the controller, and also probably on me because I probably should have pushes harder on the stick, in all honesty, unless I did...? Moving on from that-

As you'd think, some of the levels are inspired from episodes of the show, and it's always nice to see. Plus, of course, you have the voice cast and all of that other amazing stuff you'd want from a game based on a show. This game, of course, is also a platformer, and I enjoy my platformer games a lot. And there's just something about these old games that makes me come back for more. I want to say it's nostalgia, but I want to believe it's something more than that, you know?

But all the same, I love this game a lot and I could probably beat this whole game in a single day if I started early enough. However, my game disc looks like it has a bad-looking scratch so I don't know if I can play it anymore. I sure hope I can. I'll have to try sometime soon. But as always, thanks so much for reading, I appreciate it a lot! Tomorrow's post will most likely be the sequel, Shadow Showdown, so definitely look forward to that. I'll see you later! :D

Schedule Update

Just going to post a quick schedule for the coming week, from tomorrow until Thursday's Trophy Guide. Hope it gives you all something to look forward to, even if this seems a bit vague!

Saturday - Tuesday (21st - 24th): More GameCube games
Wednesday (25th): Minecraft (PS3 Edition)
Thursday (26th): Minecraft: PS3 Edition Trophy Guide

What a Victory That Was!

Well, I'm surprised, kind of. As you can see, clearly, the winner of the poll if Minecraft, so that's what next week's trophy guide will be on (Mind you, just the base game, none of the expansions, as they don't count towards the platinum). It's kind of funny though, LEGO The Hobbit was winning, I think the vote was 3:2 in favor of The Hobbit. Suddenly, over the day or two after, Minecraft got 2 more votes and that's where it stayed. Doesn't matter to me, as the guide after Minecraft will be LEGO The Hobbit, just for the sake of it.

So thank you for voting! I hope you look forward to Minecraft's trophy guide next week!

Nicktoons Unite!

I wish I had more of the Nicktoons Unite series, I only have this one and Volcano Island. But I'll get to VI another day. This is another of those games where I just have fun each time I play it, despite the sometimes-buggy nature of the game, like audio cutting out sometimes or maybe a glitch or two, but they don't happen too often for me. Maybe my disc has issues, I don't know.

But the premise of popular Nickelodeon characters coming together in a 1-4 player game, which means co-op is possible, sounds fun. And when you have SpongeBob, Timmy Turner, Danny Phantom, and Jimmy Neutron, you have some, at the very least, big Nick characters going on.

I will say, though, the music almost sounds orchestrated, just from how it sounds. It sounds nice and it'll often stick inside your head, especially once you reach the levels centered around Retroville, or in the Jimmy Neutron universe. Seriously, it really just sticks on there.

But all the same, this game is actually kind of long, too. Each of the 4 universes have roughly 4 or so levels in them and they're all at a pretty decent length, too. You'll be spending a lot of time playing the game, but if you enjoy it, all the more fun, ya know?

But all in all, I enjoy this game a lot, and it's a lot of fun to come back to every so often, and maybe soon I'll replay it, because there's a lot of older games I'd love to go back to this year, especially after talking about them on this blog. Thanks for reading, as always, and I will see you later! :D

Rocket Power: Beach Bandits

I suppose I may have this very game to thank for sparking my inner completionist. So, yes, another game based on a Nickelodeon tv show I loved watching as a kid (besides SpongeBob and Fairly Odd Parents and so on, but more on those games eventually), but I just really enjoy it.

Of course, it might be my inner nostalgia, or inner child, that keeps me loving this game. Like several games I own, I go back to it enough that it's not stale, but not forgotten. I used to spend so much time on this game, exploring Ocean Shores and other locations, and trying to find collectibles and just go through the big areas, and several in number, mind you.

Kind of humorously, this game had a lot of advertising in it, specifically for the, at the time, soon to be released "Tak and the Power of Juju." In some levels you can find Tak himself, and when you approach, he runs off, and of course you can't catch him. And in Ocean Shores, there are posters advertising Tak as well. Kind of silly, if you ask me, but small easter eggs and cameos like that are always fun in games. The best part is that it doesn't shove it down your throat like "HEY LOOK, THIS IS TAK, HIS GAME IS COMING OUT SOON, YOU SHOULD BUY IT OH MY GOD!!"

So, what makes this a big spark for the completionist in me? Because in the game there are 100 gold coins scattered throughout the levels and missions, with the pause menu telling you how many coins are in the given area. You can also keep a small track on them by going to individual levels from the main menu after unlocking them in game or with an easy cheat section. Obviously, there's no way to tell where they all are, save for the missions with criteria for collecting the coins, but often you'll explore EVERYWHERE to find those coins to unlock characters and other stuff for multiplayer, with the final prize being a new skate area for you to do score attacks on. Sometimes they're easy to see, sometimes they're not. It can drive you mad, honestly, but it's fun.

Definitely try to find this game if you can, especially if you liked the tv show growing up, like I did. May not be perfect by any means, but I always have fun playing it, if it's any indication. Thanks for reading, just like always, and be sure to vote on this week's poll, the choices are currently tied so your vote can change the outcome! See you later! :D

Much Excitement!

Alright so I was reminded to continue GameCube week because I totally forgot about it with everything going on. But I'll do that tomorrow because right now I'm just way too excited because I finally got the platinum for Assassin's Creed 3! After a long 4 year hiatus from the game, I finally got the platinum and I couldn't be more happy/pleased/proud of myself! GameCube stuff tomorrow, that's a guarantee!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

So no posts today because it's my mom's birthday! So, really sorry for no posts today, but tomorrow I'll get something good for everyone. Thanks in advance, and happy birthday mom!

New Poll is Up!

Just a quick update to show that the next poll is up! This week's poll is to pick the next trophy guide game! Your choices are between LEGO The Hobbit or Minecraft: PS3 Edition! Poll ends on Thursday, the 19th, so get voting and the winner will be the trophy guide shown on the 26th! Thanks for voting!

Why Do I Trophy Hunt?

So I'm sure that the reason anybody hunts trophies/achievements/whatever can largely be for the same reasons. Maybe bragging rights, like getting the platinum for a very difficult game, or maybe getting that super tough trophy/achievement that took such a long amount of time and effort to do, like something that requires excess grinding and difficult post-game stuff.

Maybe others do it because they want that sense of accomplishment, or maybe some sort of proof of their hardships. Maybe they did something amazing that gave them a trophy for it, but nobody believes them, so the fact they earned the trophy is their proof. Or maybe there are people, like myself, who don't see a game as "completed" until that platinum is collected. Whatever the case, it's an addictive hobby and it feels very rewarding, despite just being a small, virtual icon of achievement.

For me, as I said, it's that last sense of completing a game, like it's sort of... it's almost like you've beaten the surface of the game, but in your lust for more things to do/more challenges to complete, you dive into the game itself, find those additional challenges, and you complete them, hunting for that platinum trophy deep inside the game, and adding it to your total as another bragging right, so you can say to yourself, "Hey, remember that really hard game? Well I got the platinum trophy for it, so I feel so damn thrilled about it!"

I can sit on my PS3 and look at my current 47 platinum trophies, from Assassin's Creed II, all the way to Katamari Forever, and I can remember some of the difficult times I've had in some games, while others were a breeze. A tough game for me was.. probably Bioshock, if only because of how I was playing on the 2 hardest difficulties, and with ZERO Vita Chambers. Not only did I have to save often, to be safe and not lose tons of progress, but fighting Big Daddies was the most stressful, anxiety-inducing thing I've ever done in the game, but I have a feeling that it'll get topped when I have to do the harder difficulties for Bioshock 2 AND deal with Big Sisters, as well.

On the flip side, however, a very easy game to platinum was Goat Simulator. Yes, Goat Simulator. Now, granted, I was following one of the lovely guides done by PS3T so I could easily nab the trophies, so maybe I'll do one that didn't use a guide... Umm.. Ah yes! Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures! That was a platinum that was really easy to get, and it took me a day and a half to two days to obtain it, and the game was nice and easy as well. Some platinums are just easier to get than others, ya know?

But then there's always frustration. That's to be expected, though. It won't always be easy, and if you don't have experience with the game, it can definitely be frustrating. I mentioned in yesterday's trophy guide, how Sonic Generations' Can't Touch This trophy made me rage quit. Well, it did, honestly, but looking back, it's because I got so frustrated and was so hell-bent on getting that trophy that I lost my focus. It was a case of trying TOO hard, and because of that I lost a lot of my focus and, well, you know the rest.

Some games might make you say "is it even worth it?" Maybe the game has an extensive amount of things for you to do and it encompasses several trophies together, such as some of the Records-based trophies in the Kingdom Hearts games, where there's a trophy for completing Jiminy's Journal, but every individual section has a trophy attached to it. In a sense, the trophies there keep track of your progress towards a bigger goal. As far as something like that, I have a lot to do in order to finally obtain Card Master Sora when I finally return to Re:Chain of Memories to do my other 2 playthroughs and platinum the last Kingdom Hearts game I have (At least until I eventually get 2.8 Prologue and Kingdom Hearts 3 one day, of course).

But for some, trophy hunting is just fun. It adds more time to a game's length and might make you want to replay it with a different mindset. Sometimes hunting trophies can be done with friends, and sometimes you must go alone on the journey for the platinum. Some games are designed to be fun and essentially have trophies linked to 100% completion-based tasks, such as the LEGO games. Some games, like the Souls games, require several playthroughs to accomplish every trophy task. Whatever the case, it's a challenge and it's sometimes really enjoyable to hunt them down.

I know I rambled on for a while about this, but currently with 2750 trophies, with my last one being Katamari Forever's platinum trophy, I can definitely say that I enjoy trophy hunting a lot. I don't aggressively hunt for trophies like I used to, but eventually I'll wind up getting more games and seriously hunting them down. By the time this year ends, I'd love to simply reach 3000 trophies. I could easily reach that goal with my current set of games, but you never know.

Either way, thanks so much for taking time to read this huge text wall, I appreciate it a lot. Tomorrow's post will be a new poll and maybe it'll pertain to the next trophy guide. Who knows? You'll just have to find out tomorrow. Until then, I will see you later! :D

Sonic Generations Trophy Guide

Welcome to the trophy guide for Sonic Generations! This game has the honor of being the very first game to have timestamps on the trophies, as I first gained usage of PSN around when I had this game back in 2011. As such, it gains the honor of first time-stamped platinum, and also my 2nd platinum ever, only preceded by Assassin's Creed II. This game is pretty straightforward, with a decent amount of trophies you'll have to go out of your way for, but it's nothing that should prove entirely difficult. But with that said, let's get started!

All Trophies Collected! Collect all Trophies.
As the trophy says, collect all the trophies and this shiny platinum is yours, congrats!

The Opening Act Race through the first stage.
Not missable, as this is the first possible trophy you can get, unless you also later get Ring King in the same go.

GREEN HILL Restored! Restore the GREEN HILL Stage Gate.
Story related, not missable.

CHEMICAL PLANT Restored! Restore the CHEMICAL PLANT Stage Gate.
Story related, not missable.

SKY SANCTUARY Restored! Restore the SKY SANCTUARY Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

SPEED HIGHWAY Restored! Restore the SPEED HIGHWAY Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

CITY ESCAPE Restored! Restore the CITY ESCAPE Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

SEASIDE HILL Restored! Restore the SEASIDE HILL Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

CRISIS CITY Restored! Restore the CRISIS CITY Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

ROOFTOP RUN Restored! Restore the ROOFTOP RUN Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

PLANET WISP Restored! Restore the PLANET WISP Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

Sunny Side Up Defeat Death Egg Robot.
Story related, can't be missed.

Perfect Punisher Defeat Perfect Chaos.
Story related, can't be missed.

Boom Boom Dragoon Defeat Egg Dragoon.
Story related, can't be missed.

Scrap Metal Defeat Metal Sonic.
Story related, can't be missed.

Shadow Boxing Defeat Shadow.
Story related, can't be missed.

Silver Got Served Defeat Silver.
Story related, can't be missed.

Treasure Hunter Collect all the Chaos Emeralds.
Can't be missed, required to finish the story. 3 of the Emeralds are obtained as you collect Scrap Metal, Shadow Boxing, and Silver Got Served.

All Stages Cleared! Clear Sonic Generations.
After getting Treasure Hunter, you'll be able to fight the final boss. Defeat the boss to get this trophy!

Greased Lightning Clear GREEN HILL Act 1 within one minute.
Fans of the original Sonic will remember wanting to beat the first act of Green Hill super quickly. The same principle applies here. After some doing and some exploring, you'll figure out a way to get the stage done quickly!

Bright Star Get Rank S in an Act.
See Big Bang.

Shooting Star Get Rank S in three Acts.
See Big Bang.

Blazing Meteor Get Rank S in seven acts.
See Big Bang.

Blue Comet Get Rank S in twelve Acts.
See Big Bang.

Big Bang Get Rank S in all Acts.
To get Rank S in any Act, you cannot die, as Rank A will be the highest rank you can achieve. Simply go through the Act as quick as you can and get as many rings as you can to help boost your score, and don't die. Achieving Rank S isn't difficult at all, honestly.

Trickstar Pull off a seven or more trick combo or six trick combo ending in a finishing trick.
An easy spot to this on is in Green Hill Act 2, just after you escape the cave with the huge metallic fish chasing after you. Do as many tricks as you can, even if you're just holding the same direction, and end with a finisher, just to be safe. Reaching 6/7 isn't too hard, just keep trying.

Eradicator Defeat 100 enemies.
There's no way you can miss this. 100 enemies is NOT that much, by any stretch of the imagination. You WILL get this easily!

Ring King Reach the goal without dropping any of the rings you collected in GREEN HILL Act 1.
Aka, simply complete the level without taking any damage.

Action Hero Perform all of Sonic's moves in Act 2.
This includes drifting, lightspeed air dashing, sliding, wall jumping, stomping. Just do everything you're able to do and you'll get this one before long. Note that these do NOT have to all be done in one stage! It's cumulative, so once you've done a drift once, for example, you've completed that objective for this trophy.

Can't Touch This Take no damage from the final boss and clear the stage.
*shudders* Sorry, just having some bad flashbacks with this trophy. Anyways... In order to get this, you have to defeat Time Eater, as both Super Sonics, without taking any damage, period. With enough practice, it's easy enough, but I remember I raged so hard with this trophy, as one time I thought I took no damage, but I touched the walls/boundaries and it pushed me, but it doesn't damage you. I didn't get the trophy. I'll put it this way: 60+ lives and one rage quit later and I finally got this trophy. It's not extremely challenging, but just be careful and try to defeat him as quick as you can, but be safe!

Bonds of Friendship Complete all Challenge Acts featuring Sonic's friends.
Some of the Challenge Acts feature Sonic's friends, such as racing against Tails in one of the Green Hill missions. You'll get this as you work towards Mission Accomplished!

Walkie Talkie Chat with each of Sonic's friends you have saved.
After finishing Act 1 and Act 2, you restore the Stage Gate and save one of Sonic's friends. Make sure you talk to them. Very easy trophy but easy to forget about if you don't talk to everyone. ALSO NOTE THAT MODERN TAILS AND CLASSIC TAILS ARE COUNTED AS TWO CHARACTERS SO DON'T FORGET ABOUT THEM!

Join the Ranks Join the rankings.
The first time you start doing the online trophies, you'll get this trophy just for starting out and joining the rankings.

A 30-Second Test Participate in a 30-Second Trial.
Just do any 30-Second Trial for any stage and complete it, and this is all yours.

Jump for Joy! Find the spring hidden in GREEN HILL Act 1 and reach the goal with a Red Star Ring.
Somewhere in the level you'll come across 3 springs that will hit you into a Bee. Behind that enemy is another Bee and a tree with a hidden yellow spring that will take you to the Red Star Ring. Then, from there, complete the stage!

Walk on Water Clear CHEMICAL PLANT Act 2 without entering the water.
In some segments, you can avoid entering water by boosting to run on top of the water. You'll be better off going through some test runs of the stage to find the right routes to take and plan out your run, so this way you don't try to do this on a whim and get frustrated.

Walk on Air Clear SKY SANCTUARY Act 1 without falling and losing a life.
A relatively simple one. There are some points where you'll see a big, red sign with Sonic's old death sprite on it. These let you know that there are bottomless pits around you, and you will die if you fall. Put it this way, you have to work to achieve Rank S on this Act to get this trophy, as you won't get Rank S if you die. It's pretty much the same goal, for all intents and purposes.

The Byway or the Highway Get the Red Star Ring located on the shortcut route in SPEED HIGHWAY Act 2 and reach the goal.
Soon after getting on the highway after the Rocket tosses you through a building and going through some crazy turn and come to a complete stop. Slowly make your away around the corner to the right to notice a ramp there. Boost on it and make your way down the highway till you see a couple boosters and blue canisters. Focus to the left to a little lone booster and a small catwalk. At the end of the catwalk boost and jump to get the Red Star Ring for your trophy.

Demolition Derby Wreck 30 or more cars in CITY ESCAPE Act 2.
Anybody who's played Sonic Adventure 2 will remember smashing into many cars very quickly in City Escape. As you go down streets and such, run into as many cars as you can. 30 may not seem like many but you don't get many opportunities to smash into cars as you play the stage.

Secret Sleuth Get the Red Star Ring located in the hidden room in SEASIDE HILL Act 1 and reach the goal.
At the beginning of his stage as you make your way forward you will notice orange platforms, you must jump on them and from them jump to the platform ahead. This may be difficult but you can make it easier using the double jump effect from the Thunder Shield. Stay on the top most surface up until you have made your way to the cannon. The Cannon will launch you to the other side. Keep going up the top surface and pass the enemy will be two pillars moving up and down, go on the left pillar and once it goes down move to the left and next to a 1-up item box will be the Red Star Ring.

Look Both Ways Reach the goal in CRISIS CITY ACT 2 without being hit by a tornado-carried cars or rocks.
Yes, the trophy description contains some broken English. But anyways, as you reach the end, you'll see the huge tornado that will fling cars at you. Simply reach the goal ring without any of them hitting you. It's a little tricky but take your time and be careful and this trophy is all yours.

A Quick Breather Get the Red Star Ring atop the highest spot in ROOFTOP RUN Act 2 and reach the goal.
At the end of the stage, during the running portion, stick to the right-most side and you'll get the Red Star Ring for this trophy.

Color Power! Get the Red Star Ring by using an Orange Wisp in PLANET WISP Act 2 and reach the goal.
Later in the level of PLANET WISP Act 2 you'll reach mine carts. Stay on the top most part of the mine cart section and along the way you'll see a Rocket Wisp in the air, jump at it and land back on your mine cart. As you keep moving forward you'll see a line of rings moving upward. Jump at the middle of the line and use the charged Rocket Wisp by holding Triangle at the correct position. You should obtain the Red Star Ring.

Supersonic! Race through a regular stage as Super Sonic.
After obtaining all of the Chaos Emeralds, you can use the Super Sonic skill after equipping it. After collecting 50 rings, hit Triangle to transform. Then just complete the stage as Super Sonic to get this trophy. It can be Act 1 or Act 2, it doesn't matter.

Mad Skillz Get all Skills.
You'll get this during your run for Mission Accomplished! as some Challenge Acts unlock skills for you to purchase at the Skill Shop that's off to the left of Green Hill's Stage Gate. You also have to collect the Red Star Rings for some skills as well. Basically, this trophy will be obtained as you go through other completion trophies on this list. Otherwise the skills themselves aren't super expensive if you play levels a lot to earn the currency.

(Hedge)Hogging it All Up! Collect all collectibles.
Much like Mad Skillz, this trophy hinges through completing other trophy requirements, and is essentially linked to 100% completion. This means all Challenge Acts, Red Star Rings, beating the game, etc.

Time Attacker Play Ranking Attack on all stages.
This is simply Time Attack, as the trophy name would suggest. Simply do this mode on every stage and this is yours! If you go for the online trophies last, this will be your final trophy.

Red Ring Collector Get all Red Star Rings.
Red Star Rings are hidden in every Act, 5 for each, which means that there are 10 per Zone. You might be better off completing Challenge Acts as the skills obtained from them will help you obtain the Rings. Some Rings are connected to some of the trophies before this one, so be sure to see those for a couple. Otherwise there are plenty of video guides out there for assistance!

Halfway Point Complete half the Challenge Acts.
See Mission Accomplished!

Mission Accomplished! Clear all the Challenge Acts.
So scattered through all of the areas are little gates with challenges in them. Simply complete all of them to get both of these trophies. Some are a bit difficult, but not too bad once you know how to go about them!

And that's the trophy guide! I love this game, and I probably always will! I hope you found this guide to be any kind of helpful and I wish you luck in obtaining your platinum trophy! Thanks so much for reading and I will see you later! :D

*I'm not sure how long it took me to complete this game, as a majority of my trophies were obtained before I had PSN and timestamps added to the list. My first trophy, more than likely, was "The Opening Act." My final trophy was "Time Attacker" which was achieved on December 21st, 2011 at 10:14 PM, along with the platinum, "All Trophies Collected!" This platinum trophy is the 2nd platinum trophy I have received.*

Sonic Generations

As a huge Sonic fan, you can imagine that I was very happy to see a new Sonic game, especially after having so much fun previously with Sonic Colors. The real kicker for me was the 2nd Sonic, or Classic Sonic, if you will. After later learning that this game would feature levels from games new and old, I was even more excited. I'd played a lot of Sonic growing up, so seeing familiar levels with a bit of fresh breath in them seemed to be refreshing. And I wasn't wrong, nor was I disappointed.

The game incorporates 3 different eras of Sonic's gaming career, with 3 levels in each. In Act 1, you control Classic Sonic for a 2D version of the level, much like the classic Sonic games, while Act 2 has Modern Sonic blowing through 3D versions of the levels at high speeds, much like Sonic Unleashed or Sonic Colors. The eras consist of the Genesis Era (Sonic 1, Sonic 2, and Sonic 3), the Dreamcast Era (Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Heroes. Heroes isn't a Dreamcast game but ah well, all 3 were also on GameCube so GameCube Era could also be appropriate.), and the Modern Era (Sonic 06, Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic Colors), Each era has its own boss at the end, which pertains to one of the levels you go to in each era. So for example, the Dreamcast Era's boss is Perfect Chaos from Sonic Adventure.

This game just... It's so much fun, and I always have fun playing it again, and I love seeing videos of many different level mods on YouTube, because they're so creative, from the level designs to the Generations-themed music remixes, everything is amazing. It's also just nice to play a different look for different levels, like playing through Chemical Plant Zone in a 3D experience, or playing through Crisis City in a strictly 2D space (I was going to say Planet Wisp but Colors has 3D and 2D sections throughout so it would have been a bad example.)

I'll be honest, I wish there were more eras or more levels in general. I would have loved seeing Sonic 3D Blast stages, or maybe even stages from Sonic and The Secret Rings or Sonic and The Black Knight, because I really enjoy those games. But that's okay, this game is still wonderful no matter what. And it's the first PS3 game I have received trophies with timestamps on them, so all of my recorded trophies start with Sonic Generations.

Thanks so much for reading, as always, and I appreciate your continued support! I hope you look forward to tomorrow's guide on this game, and I will see you later! :D

Oh Yeah, Forgot About the Poll

Whoops, I totally forgot about the poll that just ended at midnight last night. Well, as I expected, the (overwhelming) vote is that I should also post some art on the blog from time to time. Well, that's what I'll do from time to time, just like with my poetry. Thanks for voting! I'll probably make a new poll on Thursday after uploading the trophy guide.

Keep an eye out for tomorrow's reveal of the game that I'm doing the guide on. And as always, thank you so much for your continued support! I'll see you later! :D

I Need a Day-Break, but Have Some Good News

So.. due to some stuff going on, I'm not in the best of moods, and therefore I wouldn't be able to properly write a decent blog post today. Don't worry, the GameCube stuff will still be coming, it's just going to be tomorrow. After the trophy stuff on Wednesday and Thursday, I'll put up more on Friday and the weekend, so don't you worry.

But besides that, some great news about some blog stats. I'm not one to constantly talk about numbers but this really holds some weight to me. As of right now, the blog, entirely, has 1981 views since the beginning of the blog, and 9 followers. Now while 8 may not sound like a lot, it's a lot to me! My goal for the year is to at least reach double digits, so 10, minimum. I'm always so grateful for any and all support this blog gets and it makes me so happy that we've nearly hit 2000 in just under 5 months (10 days away, to be precise).

So as always, thank you all so much for helping to make this blog an enjoyable time, and thank you for making me happy just by giving attention to this silly blog, it always makes me smile. I'll see you later! :D

Here Comes An Advertisement!

So, I was given an offer today that I sadly couldn't accept, because I didn't feel like I could do it justice and I didn't feel that I could bring good enough writing to the table, especially not to a site that already looks very nice and polished as it is.

The parents of a friend of mine run this site with the owner of it, and her father asked me, through her, if I'd like to join the site, in which they do video game reviews and, from the looks of it, Let's Plays. Basically the very thing I want to do on YouTube in general, which is why I started this blog, in order to realize that dream in a small way. As much as I would have loved to join, I didn't think I could do it good enough.

But this is about them, not me. Their site has game reviews, gaming news, Let's Plays, and all kinds of good stuff for all of your gaming needs. I'm still not very good at advertisements for stuff but I wouldn't steer you wrong. I wouldn't plug something that I didn't like, you know?

If you're interested in that kind of thing (which I know a lot of the Internet is, because look at the traffic that YouTube gets all the time), please check out the following site. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Creep-Score

Taz Wanted

So I guess you could call this a guilty pleasure game for me. I'm not ashamed of loving it, it's just so much fun! Looney Tunes was another of those cartoons I loved so much while I was growing up. I'm a big sucker for slapstick, honestly. But this game just has so much charm, honestly.

Firstly, I do enjoy what appears to be the cel-shaded style, to make Taz and other characters stand out more. I love the little touch they did with the music, where it becomes more loud and crazy while you're spinning around, then very quiet and delicate while you're tiptoeing around. It's a small detail, but small details are sometimes wonderful when they're done correctly.

I love destroying stuff while spinning around and collecting yummy sandwiches. In a sense, it's a collect-a-thon with objectives to complete. Finishing these additional tasks, such as finding the Golden Yosemite Sam statue, adds to your bounty (or I guess your overall score? Not too sure what it's meant to represent honestly) and, if I remember correctly, eating all of the sandwiches gets you one step closer to unlocking a mini game to play outside each hub area.

It's a fun, charming game, and was put on a few systems. I just have the GameCube version but I love this game so much. I never get sick of it and it always finds some new way to make me smile and laugh when I play it, it just has that fun Looney Tunes quality I always enjoy. If you can ever find this game, definitely give it a try. You may not like is as much as I do, but you'll definitely be in for a silly time.

Thanks for reading as always. GameCube week continues tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday so keep your eyes peeled for more in the coming days. I'll see you later! :D

Scooby-Doo Mystery Mayhem

So, Scooby-Doo was a huge piece of my childhood, and I've always loved the cartoon (I really need to watch Mystery Incorporated though...) and the games were fun. I used to have Scooby-Doo Mystery on SNES, and I have Classic Creep Capers on N64, with its cool, black cartridge. This game is one of those rare games that I never get bored of, but that's probably because I play it infrequently enough for it not to get stale when I DO finally play it again.

Well.. it's Scooby-Doo, I'm kind of biased with it because I love it so much, but I love the levels in this game, I love the disguises and the other aspects, and I love the ghost-catching aspects using the Tome of Doom. It feels like a fun little interactive episode of the show, in my opinion, complete with the occasional laugh track.

It's just a fun little game, honestly. I have quite a few of these on the GameCube, and tomorrow's post will be about a really big guilty pleasure game on the GameCube. But that's for tomorrow. Thanks for reading, stay warm, and I'll see you later! :D

Quick Look at Next Week

After going through some old games of mine last night with a friend, I decided that the next week leading up to next Thursday's trophy guide will be all about some of my old GameCube games that I love so much. And looking at these old games makes me really want to plug in my Wii and just give the PS3 a long break, but we'll see because I've honestly been so busy lately with drawing, I can't believe how busy I made myself.

But this coming week is GameCube week, really. I hope you're looking forward to it! See ya tomorrow! :D

Poems and Art

So.. why do I ask about uploading these when it's my blog and therefore my choice? Well.. because I honestly want opinions. If people don't want to see them, then I won't do it because even though I'll have fun either way, I want people viewing this blog to have fun reading the silly things I post as well.

Like.. let's say I posted another poem, and on that other poll, it was unanimous that people didn't want to see poems, I'd feel bad because that's now what my readers want to see and I don't want people arguing over what's on here, you know? But since the poem choice was nothing but yes, it really made it clear that you were all interested in my poetry.

The art is no different, glancing at the poll currently. With 6 days left on it, it's already a unanimous yes, but still, I like offering a "no" choice, so people can honestly say no, because that's perfectly fine with me if you don't want to see them, you're entitled to your own opinions.

I do it because it's another way to share my passions. My writing isn't as gaming-related as my art, but it's still nice to read every so often, you know?

I was pretty much just rambling today. I hope you're all having a nice start to your 2017 and keeping warm with this chilly weather happening (or at least it's chilly here), and I will see you later! :D

First Poll of 2017

So this is another curious question. I also draw, and lately I've been drawing more often. So, simply put, this week's poll is to see if you all would like to see my art every so often as well. Poll's up so please vote and let me know. Thank you! :D

Advertisement for a Friend

I promised a good friend I would do this, so here I am. She's making her own Fakemon region! For those who may not know that that is, Fakemon is a common term used for fanmade, or Fake, Pokémon. These are not real or official in any way, shape, or form, but they're made for fun and it's always cool to see these fake Pokémon, because the people behind them fill them with so much life and have so much passion behind them, and my friend is no different.

Her region is called Britannia, based off of Britain. Although I won't show off her Pokémon here, I'd rather you all discover them for yourselves. Who knows, you might just find one you really like! If you're interested in seeing her Fakemon, please go to the following link and consider checking out her Pokémon, and if you have an account on the site, maybe give her some feedback to help her improve? She has over 25 Pokémon so far and she's still going strong with creative and unique ideas, so please check out the Fakemon, it would mean a lot to herself and myself!

The Britannia Region!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope all of your years start out wonderfully and I hope all of you manage to accomplish your resolutions if you made any! I'll see you tomorrow with something really special! :D
