Soul Searching, Soul Sister, and Soul Soldier · 4:38am Jan 15th, 2018

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 let everyone know that I didn't just up and die. Though on the other hand, what actually happened

The New Episode... · 8:20pm Sep 23rd, 2016

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.

...

She's taking on more objectives than should be humanly possible? Anyone? Come on, anyone who's played Xenoblade should know that feeling.

Top Five Reasons My Life As I Once Knew it is Over · 8:24pm Sep 3rd, 2016

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 · 10:12pm Aug 17th, 2016

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 point of view.

Metroid Other M: The Worst $22 I've Ever Spent (A Rather Long "Short Story", then a Review) · 9:59pm Aug 5th, 2016

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 game to add to my already-too-long "to play" list. (Or an Amiibo. You never know what you'll find at

This Could be Goodbye... · 7:57pm Jul 19th, 2016

There's a lot of things I wanted to post a blog about this week. I wanted to talk about how I finished Metroid Prime Trilogy, and give reasons as to how, despite how awesome it was, I would still recommend Xenoblade Chronicles as a $20 eShop buy. I wanted to talk about how I started playing Metroid: Other M, and maybe start a flame war or two by acknowledging the existence of any good things. (Which, in my opinion, there's at least one of.) I wanted to talk about Final Fantasy X, Kirby Squeak

Amongst other things, including trying to prevent my computer from incinerating itself because it's old, this.

So lately, some stuff has been happening to me, and I felt like posting a blog about it all.

It's over... · 9:40pm Jun 2nd, 2016

Yup, my last day of High School was today. I didn't even do anything. Just went to Senior Breakfast, (in which I only got one bean and cheese taco before they ran out :raritycry:), then spent two and a half hours on a library computer using Google+ to consume memes.

Yeah... nothing really exciting. In the morning, I took my nostalgia walk and said goodbye to a few teachers, but that's about it.

The actual graduation is this Saturday, but aside from that... I'm done with school.

Welp... · 10:59pm May 18th, 2016

I suppose I should wrap the Q&A thing I posted a few weeks ago, even if I only got two questions.
Well... here we go.

VampDash:
Why do you tolerate me dude?

I've got a pretty good sense of who's worthy of being my friend, even though I have very high standards.
Prospective Friends: I'm not normal.
Me: OH NO! YOU'RE MEETING ALL MY STANDARDS!
