    Soul Searching, Soul Sister, and Soul Soldier

    Hey... it's been a while, hasn't it? Not sure how much right I have to come back here after everything I've done, but this site just kinda popped back into my mind, and I came to the realization (too little too late, in a few senses of the phrase) that I left a lot of people here with a pretty bad taste in their mouths. I... don't really have anything to remedy that, I'm afraid. I just wanted to

    The New Episode...

    I read the description of the next episode of MLP, and I could help but think of this...

    That is to say, Starlight Glimmer just started playing Xenoblade Chronicles X.

    Top Five Reasons My Life As I Once Knew it is Over

    Just so you know, this isn't going to be a sad, whiny, "first-world problems" blog. I'm just explaining how I'm now a far cry away from a high school student doing nothing but writing fanfiction in his free time. Anyway, on with the list...

    The Third-Stupidest Idea I've Had This Summer

    So I've been playing and watching a lot of Metroid content lately, and my most recent endeavor was watching a playthrough of AM2R. (And bear in mind, I never actually played Metroid II myself...) Then, as I watched the final sequence where The Baby follows Samus off of SR-388, I thought about something: a fanfiction written from The Baby's

    Metroid Other M: The Worst $22 I've Ever Spent (A Rather Long "Short Story", then a Review)

    So, I finished Metroid Prime Trilogy a few weeks ago, and like an idiot, I didn't play a good Metroid game next. (I had my pick of the litter, too. Super, Fusion, Zero Mission, II... hell, I should have just replayed the Metroid stage of Kirby's Dreamland 3!) It started while I was at the flea market just a couple days after beating Corruption. I was armed with about $50 and looking for a new

An awkward scenario... · 10:07pm Jul 22nd, 2015

*Writer's block returns home from her vacation*
WB: "I can't believe it's been three weeks since I last saw Lance! I can't wait to see him again."
*She goes up to my front door and opens it... only to find me on the couch with another Block*
WB: "LANCE! WHO'S SHE?"
*I jump up, startled, and so is the other Block*
Me: "Ah! W-Writer's Block. I... didn't think you'd be back for another week. Uh... this is another friend of mine, Developer's Block."
DB: "Lance, you didn't tell me you already had a girlfriend."
WB: "Lance, how could you?"
*Writer's Block begins sobbing and runs into the backroom*
Me: "Writer's, wait! I can explain!"
DB: "Let me add something else for you to explain."
*Developer's Block slaps me powerfully before turning and walking out the front door*

...

Was that at all possible to follow? Because I had a hard time following it as I was writing it.
Anyway, you all remember Markiplier's Royal Quest, right? Unfortunately, I'm suffering from Developer's Block on that game. I know what's supposed to go where, (by which I mean bosses, story text, and flavor text), but... I'm just not inspired to make it right now.
I dunno, I might switch my original plan around, go back to writing so I have time to let the ideas for MRQ settle down, and get back to work when I actually buy RPG Maker VX Ace.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I can hear you celebrating. I wouldn't if I were you. I'm not gonna move any stories forward with this break, but rather write a bonus chapter or two. I have one in the works for A New Family which involves all three Felix, Marcus, and Alonzo, and I might come up with another one about Mangol, Fluff, and Connor. (I doubt that one will happen, though...)

Also, I came up with a new story idea that I may never get off the ground but is still fun to have. Anyone here played (or watched Chuggaaconroy play) Xenoblade Chronicles? Well, my idea was to put ponies into that incredible story, and thus ruin the game forever. The story itself is self-explanatory, so I'll share some of the cast with you. (Note, some of these may cause spoilers, so I have the spoilers blocked out.)
Twilight - Shulk
Rainbow Dash - Dunban
Spike - Dickson
Gilda - Mumkhar
Fluttershy - Fiora
Applejack - Reyn
Rarity - Melia
Shining Armor - Kalian
Pinkie Pie - I kind of want her to be Riki for obvious reasons, but I'm not sure how that will work since Riki was of an entirely different race than the rest of the team.
Sunset Shimmer or Starlight Glimmer - Egil
Lyra - Sharla Those who've played a little further in may be able to guess why.
Celestia and Luna - Those who've played to the first ending know exactly who these two will be. *chuckles evilly*
Starswirl the Bearded - Alvis
And that's all I've got for now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go try to comfort Writer's Block. See you all again soon.

Mumkhar better fits Starlight since she's actually looking out for herself.

You should've got RPGVXA while it was on sale for $15 man

If you don't mind not being able to publish your stuff to the steam workshop, then torrent it until it goes on sale again.

3261125 If that's the case, then you don't know why your "Sombra being Metal Face" idea isn't all that good.
But trust me, when you find out... well, I'll put it bluntly. You'll be fairly surprised.

3264047 Nice. You know, as amazing as Xenoblade is, it's fanbase is relatively small, given how few people in NA even know about it. It's sad, but we're growing thanks to SSB4.
