NaBloPoMo: Day 23

Well, I'm not sore from skating anymore, and I can walk without limping now! I'm glad, because those two days were the most miserable two days of my life!

I Stayed inside all day today, didn't feel like going anywhere or doing anything. I didn't even play any video games..... What did I do today? I think all I did was watch tv today.

I watched Aladin today, I love that movie! It is very funny and fun to watch. It has to be one of my favorite Disney movies, next to Beauty and the Beast and Mulan. Mulan is my all time favorite!


I've been watching, talking about, and looking up a lot of Disney stuff, which has made me want to play Kingdom Hearts II. Kingdom hearts is a game with Final fantasy characters, and Disney characters and places all put into one amazing game. I could try to explain the plot, but It wouldn't make sense (I don't even fully understand it, but it's really cool).


You play as Sora, who is the Keyblade wielder (which is a key shaped sword), who is trying to do something or another (I forgot what) and Donald and Goofy are helping him. I'm going to give up on explaining here because I've comepletely forgotten the details of the game. Anyway, the game is really cool and fun, and I'm going to be playing it soon.


NaBloPoMo is nearly over. I've done so well so far. I hope I can make it the last seven days.
Until tomorrow,

NABloPoMo: Day 22

Well, today I found out how cheaply made my new skates are. They are made almost completely out of plastic. But it's ok, I can use these ones to skate outside and buy some really good ones later.

Thats is about all I did today. I am to sore from skating to do anything lately. I can barely walk, haha.

Until tomorrow,

NaBloPoMo: Day 21

Today I didn't do much. I am so sore from yesterday! I can barely walk! I am sore everywhere!!! Everywhere from my neck to my foot! It even hurts to sit down. Hopefully this goes away very soon!

We went and bought me some skates today! They are Cobra Roller Derby skates (Though they are mens skates, it doesn't really matter). Someone was selling them for only 25 dollars. They are practically brand new and fit perfectly. Too bad I'll have to wait until January to use them.

That is about all I did today.
Until tomorrow,

NaBloPoMo: Day 20

Well today I went to a skating party. I had a lot of fun!!! My dad went and skated. He is an amazing skater, doing tricks like skating backwards! He and a friend of ours named Irvin used to get skating parties together and they are both great skaters, and they were both at this party so it was a lot of fun to watch! Irvin is a really fast skater, faster than my dad, but my dad is good at tricks and stuff, and he is pretty fast. Many people came up to my dad saying he was the best skater there. It was really funny! But he was the best skater there, along with Irvin. I should video tape it sometime.

I am a pretty good skater myself, and I have one trick I can do (though it's not really much of a trick). I go really fast and then bend down, to where it looks like I'm sitting down, then I stick out my right leg and it turns me. Everyone calls it a trick, but it's the only way I can turn, lol.

I think being a good skater runs in the family, my dad's side. My cousin was there and it was his third time skating, and he was great at it! He only fell down once, he kept his balance very well, and he was really fast. His sister (my cousin) and I were shocked!

Well that is all today, I got to get to bed. I'm tired and sore.
Until tomorrow,

NaBloPoMo: Day 19

I actually got out of the house today, but the whole time I was to carsick to enjoy it. Not too much happened today, so I'm going to post about a few new games coming out and a new tv show (My post is mostly about the tv show).


Donkey Kong Country Returns
Donkey Kong Country Returns is coming out on the 21st, two days from now. It is a new Donkey Kong game that has the style of the Donkey Kong Country games. It's the first Donkey Kong game since the country games that looks really good, and me and Andrew are really excited for it!! Hopefully it will bring back the old Donkey Kong game feel!


Disney Epic Mickey
Disney Epic Mickey is a new game coming out on the 30th. I happened to see the opening of it and a bit of the first part of the game and it actually looks good (Despite the fact that it nearly scared me half to death). It reminds me a little bit of Kingdom Hearts. I would explain the plot, but I don't fully understand it myself, so I'll explain it in one sentence: It looks cool!
I'll go ahead and post the description from GameFAQs.

Disney Epic Mickey is an action-adventure platforming game for the Wii console that sends Mickey Mouse on an epic journey of creativity and discovery. As Mickey, the player is propelled into Wasteland, an alternate world made up of Disney's forgotten creative efforts, and is given the power to wield paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world while determining Mickey's path to becoming an epic hero.


Pac-Man Party and Pac-Man Tv Show
I found out about a game called Pac-Man Party this morning. My first thought was that this is an abomination! Pac-Man games should be Pac-Man games! It was the weirdest thing I had ever seen... at least then it was. I couldn't understand why they made a party game where you play as Pac-Man, Inky, Pinky, Blinky, Clyde, and two other unknown characters. I then noticed that it was "based off" a new Pac-Man tv show that is being made.

The new Pac-Man tv show... Now this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen! It is a tv show about Pac-Man, who is in high school, who has to protect Pac-Land from a bunch of ghost that are trying to take it over. He is assisted by his Pac-friends and four friendly ghosts: Inky, Pinkey, Blinkey, and Clyde.

The fact that Pac-Man is in High school really made me laugh! The fact that Inky, Pinkey, Blinkey, and Clyde are good guys and helping him sorta irritated me and also made me laugh.

In an interview, the producer, Avi Arad, said that "he wants it to have more depth than just fighting ghosts: It could tackle social issues like racism, too." He also said "We wanted to keep Pac-Man the same lovable guy he has always been, but put him in the 21st century. We also wanted to talk about real stories and see how they can relate to our lives, being in high school and being a teenager. At the end of the day, it's the story of a reluctant hero."

How they got this much out of a game where you eat dots and eat the ghost chasing you I don't know. I think it is really funny that they are going to have him "tackle social issues". They have completely made a tv series out of a game without a story.

NaBloPoMo: Day 18

Well, lately I haven't been posting much interesting stuff, but this week hasn't been that interesting. I've been inside the house all week and barely even went outside. It's been a very gloomy and rainy week.


I've been playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of Sky most of the time lately and that is about it. It's my favorite game. It's the first game I legitimately beat by myself (Besides those sesame street games and a few other "kid" games I played when I was younger).

Basically, the story line is about a human who gets turned into a pokemon and loses his/her memory, meets a pokemon whose dream is to join a pokemon exploration team and forms a team with it, hoping to someday get his/her memory back and find out how she/he turned into a pokemon.

One day I was looking for a new game to play, and I remembered Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I had played it before, but I never understood what to do and gave up on the game. I asked Andrew if it was a good game, and he said that it was fun, but it had "no replay value" so not to waste my money on it. I kept looking into it and it really looked like a fun game, so I found Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of darkness on Ebay for 16 dollars and bought it anyway. I've played it three times since and I am on my fourth time now! This is absolutely my favorite game!

I've beaten Explorers of Darkness once, Explorers of Time once, and Explorers of Sky once and am now on my second time. The second time I played it, when I played Time, I didn't beat the after story, but the other times I played it, I beat the whole thing, including the whole after story. When I played Time after playing Darkness, I noticed they put a few different items in each game and a few different pokemon. Personally, I think Time had the better items.

Wow, this turned out to be kind of a review of the game, and I was only planning on posting the plot. I think that is all I'm going to post today.

Until Tomorrow,

NaBloPoMo: Day 17

Today I found out about a new band, or a comedy band. Not sure if that qualifies as a band :/ They are called The Axis of Awesome. Their lead singer looks just like Jack Black!! Seriously!

I only know two songs by them, but those two songs are the funniest things ever. I definitely recommend listening to these songs, that is if you want a good laugh!

The first one I heard is called BirdPlane.

BirdPlane


The Other one I heard is called 4 Chords. Now the first video isn't the whole song, but basically this is what the whole song is. I'll post the whole song underneath this video in case you would like to hear it, but you should listen to the other video first.

4 Chords

4 Chords


That it for today.
Until Tomorrow,
