Or it could just be that my dog has really smelly poop.

Okay, so Facebook won't let me post this, and no one has posted here since May, so here goes.

Okay, so usually, my nightmares are me getting attacked by animals.  Last night, I dream that I'm out in the woods, and I see a black bear.  So I drop to the ground and play dead, and the bear comes over to check me out.  As it sniffs me, it starts to tickle.  And I'm pretty sure that the only reason why I'm not reacting is because that part of the dream is suppose to be me playing a video game.

To make the night, or rather morning by this point, even weirder, we get to the nightmare.  I'm in the backyard, trying to clean up dog poop.  Key word here is "trying," because the bag keeps on breaking, and every time it does, there is somehow more poop on the ground than there was before the bag broke.

Red Gyarados, but I'm only saying that because red is my favorite color after green.

Also, happy birthday.

It was a random drawing.


It came in last week.

Here's a picture showcasing the U.K. cover.


I also just got a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday; I'll definitely be getting Hyrule Historia with it.  Probably get Laura Anne Gilman's Tricks of the Trade as well, since the library seems to have a problem with skipping over books in a series.

Whose face? Katie's or Tharja's?  Both?

Meanwhile, if you haven't seen it on Facebook, or you don't have Facebook:


I have this weird and morbid fascination with taking pictures of roadkill in odd poses and captioning them.  Here's some more:

So I was at my local card shop today, and found a what looked like a gameboy color game, but it was burnt to high hell. The whole thing is burned, and somehow still works. Mike (the manager) had it priced at 25 cents. I asked him about it, and he said he didn't know what game it was. Some guy came in, and put the game on the counter. Apparently, Mike said he wasn't gonna take the game, but the guy said Mike could HAVE it. He didn't want it. He said the game was nothing but trouble.

I laughed, and said, "Obviously... It's burnt! How does he expect it to work?" Mike told me it really worked! He told me to keep my quarter and told me I could have it. He just had to put a price on it for store reasons or something. So yeah, I took it and threw it in my GBA SP. It took a couple of tries, and some blowing on the cartridge, but it finally fired up. It's Pokemon Red version! I can't believe this thing still works! I'll put a picture of it up as soon as I can. My phone's camera is malfunctioning every time I try to take a picture. The application freezes, and it takes me back to the home screen. I need a new phone soon =P

Anyways, yeah, the guy was in the beginning of the game, and somehow has Lv. 0 Charmander with 0 HP and 0 for all of its stats. It's pretty creepy, like it has no life XD

I think he tried hacking the game, and got pissed at it for not working like he wanted. I haven't gotten a chance to play it, but I'll start a new game tomorrow and try like a Nuzlocke or something. My luck is turning up ^^

To share my own video game purchase story, last Sunday I went in to Cool Stuff, a used video game store (that also sells used CDs, DVDs, and some other related stuff), to trade in Fire Emblem 7 and Sword of Mana.  I was expecting to get the sort of deal I would at GameStop, a Game Boy game that would cost around one to two dollars.  Instead, I got 15 credit with the store, which meant I could get $15 worth of games.  I ended up getting Final Fantasy Adventure (GB, $2), The Final Fantasy Legend (GB, $7), Picross 3D (DS, $5), and The Chessmaster (GB, $1).  All three Game Boy games are still in excellent working condition.

My week got better yesterday.  The week before, I had entered a contest to win a signed book from Jim C. Hines (an excellent author; I highly suggest you check out his books, especially the Princess series).  I won!  I'll be getting a signed U.K. edition of Libriomancer, the first book in his Magic ex Libris series.  I was bouncing around for a good half hour after getting the e-mail.

Has anyone seen Magz?
I have some business with him... He hasn't been on in at least a week.

I sent him a message over on Facebook.

Well, I don't much care for him, but for those of you who do, the Pikmin and Olimar are returning for Super Smash Bros. 4.  Personally, I'm still waiting to hear about Zelda and the new Fire Emblem character.

ZV, aren't you 18 or older?  Because if you are, it's nice that your dad is concerned about you, and that he wants to help you, but he doesn't have the right to ask that of you, not unless you playing video games is what made you fail to pay the fine.  He can ask you to pay him back, but that's about it.  Your hobbies are not his business unless they are negatively affecting other areas of your life.

I would pre-order them if Kroger's would freaking call me back already! DX

I went in for a background check/drug testing, and when I was unable to take the overnight stocking position, they had me resubmit an application.  So I'm fairly certain they want to hire me, but they just haven't called me in for orientation/training yet.

As for the games, I'd really like to know the version differences between X and Y before I pre-order a copy.

Noivern's typing is Dragon/Flying.  It's a dragon bat.

Oh, hey, The 6th Gen's Pidgey evolves into a Fire type.

Zelda 3DS has an official subtitle now: A Link Between Worlds.  Also, it looks like the Fire Rod is coming back. *gigantic grin*

So, I was wrong about Sylveon's typing, but I don't care because, dude, fairies.

Also, does anyone think that Noivern looks like a bat?

*giggling fit*  Wii Fit Trainer is a fighter.  I'll definitely have to try her. XD

I don't know about the Wii U version, but it looks like Gerudo Valley is a stage in the 3DS version.  I am much excite about that.

Here's something Zelda related for you guys.
