Pointless Products.

I see people walking around school with these... things, reader...

They're called Build-A-Pencil's, and they're the most stupidest, pointless things in the whole world. You buy a kit, which comes with some small pencils, a plastic rod, and some erasers. You apply the rod to small pencils so they become larger pencils. So, reader, if you have a worn-out pencils, just apply the Build-a-Pencil rod, and it's just like new.

... Riiiiiiiiight. You know, reader, if I need a new pencil, I don't need to go out and buy some freaking external parts for $20. I can buy a new pencil for five cents. -_-

THINK, America. THINK.

Efforts and Results

Well, it's December 19th, reader, and I'm doing my homework. I always do my best when doing my homework, reader, I really do. But sometimes I just wanna rip upthe papers and set the books on fire, you know what I mean? I could so be on Free Realms right now. :U

Speaking of Free Realms, I recently got a lifetime membership, reader! =D It's a lot of fun being a member now, and not having to pay for it anymore.

Well, I should get back to homework. D:

Bye-nee~!!!

~Nia

Personalities

You know, people who think they're smart and talk like they're smart, but they really don't know what they're saying really tick me off. And people who lie to make themselves sound interesting also tick me off.
I hate people who insult others when they don't know what to say to them. I hate people who think they're better than you.

There are too many of those people in my life. It makes me sad. Like, how come everyone can't get along? How come there has to be people who "aren't good enough"? It makes no sense.

Complaints

So, after about a month (or something like that), I was finally able to register my Nintendo DSi on Club Nintendo. SO wasn't worth 160 Coins. :U

So, I was reading the article I mentioned in the last post. You know, the one about extra terrestrials and NASA? Do you know what NASA gave us? Bacteria. Nasty bacteria that feeds on poison.

... Go, science.

Aliens.

So, reader, NASA is supposed to reveal some big announcement about extra terrestrials tomorrow... Meh.

You know what I think, reader? I think that's bullcrap. NASA isn't just gonna come out of a conference room and announce to the whole world, "We found aliens."
Seriously. CNN thinks this is hardcore stuff.
I don't think so, reader.

So, if there are any real aliens out there, reader, and NASA finds them, they're just gonna shut up about it. It's kinda obvious.

They'd have to go through the government first.

Holiday Season~

Oh, I just love the holiday season, reader...

... Know why?


... Because, I'm getting...



ZOMGMUFFINS, A MACBOOK PRO!! >:D


Thats right, 10 hours of battery life,
epic graphics,
BACKLIT KEYBOARD ZOMG,
MAWLTI-TAWCH trackpad,
super fast DVD-burning-power,
and teh BUILT IN camera for video chattin' and whatnot... c:

~*Heh. Be. Jealous. Be jealous, reader. x3


o3o

Happy 50th Post! 8D

Oh, joyous, it's my 50th blog post. *Throws confetti*

... I don't really have anything today, though. xD

Delay

I hate it when you pre-order a video game and it doesn't arrive at your home, like, four days later! D:< How annoying is that!? Very annoying. :U I really hate that.


I started a Club Nintendo account. I had one about two years ago, but I kinda just forgot about it. So, I made a new one. They added a ton of more prizes! o.o I was surprised. They're nice, too. o3o I have to buy more Nintendo games. xD

This was a Triumph...

... I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
... *Cough* I'm sorry, that was a Portal thing. xD

Anyway, I'm making a website with a friend, and we're almost done. It looks great! I'm really proud of it. c: It really was a triumph.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Today, I had an assembly at school about ancient Egypt, and it lasted three whole periods!! >:U It was so annoying. The speaker just showed us these weird pictures, and some were pretty gross. DX

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It kind of irks me that none of my friends, both online and real life, don't play Free Realms. It's a great game! It needs to be more popular. I don't like roaming mystical lands on my large tiger, my gold-tip dragon, and my rainbow, winged zebra without another player... Hey, you never know when you might come across a goblin, or something. x3

So Proud

Haha, I finally finished the Special Levels in Super Scribblenauts. I thought S2-14 was impossible. It took me forever to beat that level.
It required a lot of invincible balloons.

Trick-Or-Treat

I just came back from Trick-Or-Treating... Sure enough, my sister spoke in a British accent the whole way. :U We met up with a few friends, though. We had fun, though. We got a lot of treats. C:

Happeh Halloween! x3

Halloween~

Hi, friends~ happy Halloween! c:

Sorry, my computer refuses to post my cosplay pictures. :c

Argh, I hate my sister! xD She decided she was going to be Peter Pan for Halloween (the costume is actually called 'sexy pan'.), and she's greeting little kids in a british accent (we live on Long Island.), and she's freaking them out.

Well . . . Happy Halloween . . . I'll update again later... :3

whut happened?

What happened to Blogger.com's front page!? It used to be more exciting!! >:U New layouts make me sad.
I was pretty sad when Viacom bought Neopets.com a few years ago and changed the layout.. Viacom messes everything up.

I'm carving pumpkins today... But I have a headache. :c Headaches make me sad, too. I don't even have enough happy-energy to watch anime!

Speaking of anime, I'm going to an anime club in November at the local library... I remember the last time there was an anime club at the library... o.o *shudders*
.......



I can't wait to go back! 8D

The Pile of Projects.

So, I have a pile of projects I have to do for school... I'm supposed to do a self portrait for art class... I actually have it done, it just needs to be colored in. For science, I have to do a flip-book about the cardiovascular system, (I'm gonna have so much fun with that project. >:3 ...) and for "Enrichment", I need to do a project for the G.R.E.A.T program. I dunno, it's a program about gang awareness. I don't really get the point of it, though. We know about gangs, an we know they're bad. You don't have to tell us anymore, dude.

Speaking of "dude", my Social Studies teacher sometimes refers to his students as "dude" ... I think thats a little weird for a teacher.
Well, actually, I shouldn't really say that because all of my teachers have a touch of weirdness in them. That's not really a bad thing, though. :D

~*

I recently discovered what "OST" stands for. Yeah, "Original Sound Track" ... That was a pretty big lightbulb-moment for me. :P So, I looked up a few OST's of anime's and video games that I liked and now my iPod is full of them. :3

~*

Super Scribblenauts.
That game really makes you think. It took me quite a long time to solve some of the puzzles. I'm not even done with the game yet. I'm up to the eight constellation. It took me forever to come up with "an object with the same characteristics as a tree and a gas tank combined." o.o I felt so stupid when I thought of "paper" and it said that was the right answer. I spent days on that puzzle, and I thought it was gonna be some crazy answer that you would have never guessed... And it was 'paper'. Damn.

New Sonic the Hedgehog Installment

I was browsing the Nintendo website, and I saw "Sonic the Hedgehod 4, Episode 1". I thought that was exciting! People have been waiting for this game longer than I've been alive.

I Swear, it has a Mind of its Own.

In my last post, I said that my Macintosh has a mind of it's own. Turns out, it's contagious. My other PC's been acting up, too. Yesterday, I was putting some songs on my iPod, and the computer just.... I don't know, took over!? Internet Exploder (Haha.) and iTunes stopped working, and the computer kicked me off! o.o It restarted itself.

I think I need to get a new one.

Cosplay Pictures ... ?

I think I remember saying that I'd post pictures of me in cosplay for you to see... So, here they are.

*Attemps to upload pictures*

...

*Computer shuts off*

*Sigh* Nevermind...

~*
My Macintosh is really old and slow... It has a mind of its own, really. Right now, it doesn't want me to upload pictures, so I'll do it later... :U

I Don't Really Know What to Name This Post...

... Like the title? I couldn't think of anything.

I haven't been blogging about Pokemon or anything like that in a while... I feel a sort of emptiness inside me, so I'm going to make this update about Pokemon. Yay.

If you own Pokemon HeartGold Version or Pokemon SoulSilver Version, there will be a special Wi-Fi event from October 15-30th. This time, you get a free Lv. 5 Mew downloaded into your game. Pretty neat, if you ask me. I don't really play Pokemon anymore, though. I probably wont download one.

But, you have 15 days. If you want a Mew, you can download one starting on the 15th. This ends on the 30th.

~*
Now, I feel complete.

Super Sribblenauts

That game came out already, right? I pre-ordered it. I was hoping it'd come in the mail today, but it didn't. :U

Did I also mention that I ordered a Beelzenef Doll from ETSY.com about a week and a half ago, and it hasn't come yet? D:< Goodness, mail people, hurry up!

Anime Schedue

I have so many anime shows that I wanna watch, but I don't have any time! There's so much schoolwork that I have to do.
Lets see, now...

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Fruits Basket, DN Angel, Tottoko Hamutaro, Vampire Knight... *sigh*


Don't call me small!!


Ah, Fruits Basket. Where people turn into animals and boys look and sound like girls.


Vic Mignogna's in this anime... Heh. :3


IT'S HAMTARO TIME!! 8D


It doesn't look like people smile in this anime. o.o"

~*

As an attempt to make my blog a bit more popular, I'm gonna start tagging posts, although I'm not sure if it'll do anything. xD

~*

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, and she said something I found interesting.

*FRUITS BASKET SPOILERS LURK BELOW*

She finished the Fruits Basket anime series, and she said that *SPOILER* Kyo's hideous true form is revealed in the last episode, and Tohru helps him become sane again...
But, in the manga, Kyo's true form is revealed in volume 6 of 26. It's only the beginning! I wish the anime series would've been longer. :U

October

Happy Octoboer! 8D (Sorry, I'm a day late.)



I will eventually post pictures of myself in my cosplay costume that I'm wearing for Halloween. :) I haven't had time to upload anything.
~*

Oh my gosh, I hate waiting SO much!!
I'm waiting for Host Club volume 15... :3


In the meantime, I've been watching "Fruits Basket".
~*
I noticed that I've been wearing quite a lot of anime... apparel, lately. o.o
I have a Lucky Star shirt, an "xxx Holic" hat, a Momiji Sohma sweater, a Pikachu Shirt...
I even ordered Beelzenef the Cursed Doll off of Etsy.

I also have the Amulet Spade cosplay, but thats not the kind of thing you wear in public... =3

New Widget

*Pokes new widget on sidebar*
ITS. SO. KAWAII!! 8D

I found this cute little Hamtaro Aqua Pet on a Hamtaro fan website. It's Penelope! :3 She's so cute, right?


The original Penelope from Hamtaro.


The original, frightening, annoying, but so cute Aquapet. :3

3DS Main Information

Yes, today was the Nintendo 3DS Press Conference thing. The main information that was revealed is shown below.


The 3DS will release in Japan in February 2011.
The 3DS will release in NA and Europe in March 2011.
We do not have any confirmed price, but it should be around $300 USD.
There will be a Mii Creation Studio for the 3DS.
Game Boy, Game Boy Advance and Classic games in 3D to be sold on virtual console service.

Yup, thats about it. :)
I think it'll be cool to have GBA games in 3D! So far, the 3DS seems revolutionary.

Nintendo is revolutionay. Sony and Microsoft just follow along and create their products based on Nintendo's.

Habits and Dreams

I discovered recently that I have a weird habit... I don't know how to explain it, though...
It's like, I... fold my lips into a weird... position? I don't know how to explain it! o_o It's weird.

Last night, I had an epiphany. And in my epiphany, I saw... A talking, multicolored lizard.

Something like this...

Only... it talked, although I don't really remember what it was saying. o_0 I also remember briefly seeing Hamtaro in the background. xDD



Yes, I'm talking about Japanese anime Hamtaro.

I don't really remember anything else... Just a talking multicolored lizard and a Japanese hamster.
It's a sign! A sign that I need to dedicate my whole life to peanut butter!




.... Well, maybe not, but I think it's a sign! 8D I'm destined to own a talking lizard and a hamster with an orange head!

Cosplay

I finally got my full cosplay costume in the mail. In case you were wondering, I'm cosplaying as Hinamori Amu in Amulet Spade form from the anime Shugo Chara!.


Amulet Spade.

I even got a pink wig. C: I'll wear it for Halloween, and if I'm going to Comic-Con NY, then I'll wear it there, too. :D

Field Trip

You may not have noticed, but I deleted all of my posts about Pokemon Black and White Version. Uh, well, Nintendo has asked everyone with Pokemon Black/White-related websites/blogs to delete all pics and stuff. That includes Serebii and Pokebeach..

Oh well. :3 Guess you'll just have to wait until the games come out to know about the plot and Pokemon. :P
~*

So, today, I went to the Brookhaven National Lab with one of my classes as the first field trip of the year.



Yeah, this place...

... I didn't really want to go, because I already went there for a field trip... in first grade. xD It was so boring. :U
~*

After I got back from the field trip, I still had about 2 hours left at school. I went to ELA class and got attacked by a bee.


Yeah, this little guy.

I didn't even notice it was flying right be me, either, until when I saw the teacher looking a little spooked. She was like, "Get up... and walk... away."

I was thinking, "... Come on, I'm not that bad! I haven't failed one test."... But then I heard the buzzing right by me, and I was all, "... Oh.", and I jolt up and jump over to the next desk. But it kept following me! The teacher wasn't doing anything, at first. In fact, she looked a little amused. o.o After a while, the bee had started aiming at another kid. Almost the entire class ended up moving away from their desk to get the hell out of there! xD
The teacher had called the janitors to get rid of it, but they didn't show up until about 10 minutes later. By then, the bee had flown out the window.

At least I didn't get stung. C:

3DS - November?

I've been following the unofficial Nintendo 3DS Blog. Their latest post say that there was a rumor about GameStop adding Nintendo 3DS systems, games, and accessories to their system and they have set the release date to be November 22nd. THIS IS A RUMOR! Don't get excited. Although there have been many signs pointing towards a November 2010 release date, these rumors are unofficial. Unconfirmed. Unverified. Get my drift? 'Kay.

I'm hoping Nintendo doesn't release their 3DS and games this year. Why? Remember the game "Animal Crossing: City Folk/Lets Go to the City"? Remember how Nintendo announced a brand new Animal Crossing game for Wii, and how everyone was so excited? Then, when the game was released, the game was horrible! It was boring. It's a Wii game! The game could have been so much better because it's for the Wii, which is a console capable of doing lots of things. Why? Because Nintendo rushed it. They wanted to make a killing for the holidays, so they rushed the game. I don't want the 3DS or any of the games to be rushed. I want them to be really great games. They're saying that this new handheld system can compete with the iPhone/iTouch! Thats hows great this console can be. It'll be worth every penny. If Nintendo rushes it, then it wont be able to compete with anything.


What will Nintendo do with this new console? :O

New Link

Serebii.net had to remove all pictures of Pokemon Black and White version, due to Nintedo complaining that it violated their rules or something. :U Pokebeach.com still has theirs, though. Here's the link: http://pokebeach.com/news/0910/black-white/new-pokemon/list.html

No wai

A few blog updates ago, I told you my Wii sounded like it had Dial-Up when I play it sometimes. Well, I checked the Nintendo website for a solution, and this is what I get:

Noise (buzzing) coming from the Wii console

It is normal for some amount of noise to come from the Wii console, as there are various moving parts inside of the system. Additionally, the Wii console may make noises as it's reading discs, which may become louder at certain times. This is normal.

If the Wii console is making an especially loud noise (for example, so loud you can hear it over your TV), then your system may need to be repaired. Please click here for repair options.

Haha. Maybe they'll have to send me a new one. >:3 I never get to complain to Nintendo! This could be my chance! 8D

Games. :U

I have "Super Scribblenauts" pre-ordered. I cant wait for it! Y'know, using adjectives, like "Gentlemanly Red Raptor" ... :D



There are some other E3 games I want... I got Dragon Quest IX, and it's really great, but there's this one beast who I can't beat. D8
I also want Sonic Colors for Nintendo Wii, Kirby's Epic Yarn for Wii, maybe Epic Mickey... I also might get Disney's Epic Mickey. That looked like a fun game.
Portal 2 looks so fun, but really complicated. And I don't have a PS3 or Xbox, and my computer cant handle good graphics. :U I stick to Nintendo consoles.


Cant beat... Ragin Contagion!! o.o


This game looks really fun. I wonder what those little ghosts are?


I luff Kirby! 8D


Looks... interesting... o.o
~*~

Recently, I was playing "The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon", but sometimes when I play it, my Wii starts making REALLY weird sounds, and freezes up so I have to unplug it. 0.0 It kind of sounds like my Wii has Dial-Up. XD



TEH WII VIRUS!! XD

All 158 new Pokemon, revealed!! :D

Yes, my friends, finally, we have an entire list of every single new Pokemon that will be released, along with their Japanese names. You can find the complete list here: http://serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml

I guess my Pokemon B&W updates are over, then. :D
~*

I began reading the "Fruits Basket" manga series. And, let me tell you, the first volume was unbelievably fantastic!! I couldn't believe how great it was. I also just finished "Ouran High School Host Club" volume 13. Ouran is just too amazing! :3 I'll have to pick up volume 14 if I see it at the library or in a book store.



Any suggestions? I'm waiting for Shugo Chara! volume 10, Pokemon DP Adventures volume 8, and Host Club volume 15. C:

Nintendo vs. Apple

If you haven't already heard, Nintendo is working their butts off, making their newest handheld console, the 3DS.

Websites, blogs and forums are buzzing about it. They're saying the 3DS could compete with the iPhone! The 3DS will be like a monster when it's released. Haha, good luck, Apple.
Apple released a bunch of newly designed iPods recently... probably to prepare for the Nintendo 3DS' release. The following were released:

Apple TV
Redesigned iPod Shuffle
New Multi-touch screen iPod Nano
New iPod Touch
New iPod Touch/iPhone update

Apple keeps on updating their products and they expect people to pay for them. If they keep that up, the 3DS is sure to beat out their pretty little iPod Touch. The DS is the most popular portable gaming system, after all.

What 3DS games are you excited about? Do you think the console will be able to compete with the iPhone? Comment your opinions~!!

My Top 10 Anime

I decided to blog about my top 10 favorite anime shows... Please note that this is MY list. MY opinions. This isn't YOUR list, so don't get angry if YOUR favorite anime isn't on MY list. Okay? 'Kay.

Number 10:

I watched this anime a few months ago... It was cute, but it wasn't that good. It had a strange plot, and strange characters. Although it's not my ultimate favorite, I thought it still deserved a spot on this list. The jokes weren't all that good. Neither were the action scenes, IMO. But I watched it anyway, and it was very cute!



WEB GHOSTS PIPOPA

~*

Number 9:

Despite the very brief... adult scenes (xD), this anime was pretty good. Funny, too. Yes, this anime was a bundle of cute, funny, and disturbing. XD A very odd combination, yes, but it was OK. <3 Congratulations, CHOBITS, for having one of the most adorable characters in existence: Chi.



CHOBITS

~*

Number 8:

Funimation, you have failed me. I was hoping that PEACH GIRL would be dubbed better. I read the manga, and it was excellent. The anime? No. I liked it, but I thought it could have been much, MUCH better. Thats really all I have to say about it.




PEACH GIRL

~*

Number 7:

This anime is ADORABLE!! I loved the anime and the manga. But I definitely recommend the japanese version. The english version was dubbed horribly. Way to go, Funimation. The reason why I put it as number 7 was because it was too short! The manga was way better, IMO. Another reason why I put it as number 7 was because of the ending... the ending was... not my favorite. It kinda disappointed me.



SAVE ME! LOLLIPOP!

~*

Number 6:

I'm sure EVERYONE is familiar with that little pink ball with arms and legs who sucks things up and transforms, right? XD Yeah.
HOSHI NO KAABI made number 6 in my top 10 anime list. Notice how I posted the Japanese name, and not the english name. Why? Because the english version sucks. And if you haven't watched the english version, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, don't ever watch it. You'll die of it's horribleness. D8

Okay, I'm done ranting.



HOSHI NO KAABI

~*

Number 5:

This anime gets a lot of love... and a lot of hate. The people who say, "THIS ANIME SUCKS ITS SO BORING DONT WATCH IT" don't have any patience. This is a very slow paced anime that didn't get very funny until the 4th or 5th episode. The jokes are hilarious, and the characters are lovable. Well, almost all of them... (I hate you, Patricia!!) And of course, we cant forget the most lovable characters of all... Akira Kogami and Minoru Shiraishi!!



LUCKY * STAR

~*

Number 4:

This is my childhood!! Tottoko Hamutaro was the best!! It had the cutest characters, and the cutest storyline! Of course, like all good animes, it was wiped off the american map. Sob. v.v
But it still deserves to be on this list, even if it barely exists now!!



TOTTOKO HAMUTARO

~*

Number 3:

This next anime was so heartwarming to me... I love it so much! It has over 100 episodes of beautiful, funny, and sad moments. Its kinda like the perfect anime, IMO. And of course, it has the most beautiful character... IKUTO!!



SHUGO CHARA!

~*

Number 2:

I might get a lot of hate for putting this as my Number 2, and not my number 1. But, remember, this is MY LIST!!

Yes, this anime is beautiful. Yes, this anime is amazing. Yes, this anime is funny. Yes, this anime makes you cry your eyes out because its so sad and beautiful and funny. But there was one anime that I thought was just slightly better. I'm sorry, internet, but Fullmetal Alchemist has to be my number 2. Some parts were a little too sad and a little too weird for me. I couldn't put it as my number 1. But it comes pretty darn close. I'm sorry, but 51 episodes of this beautifulness is just too much!! XD Yes, I know what your thinking, "UR SO STUPID VIC IS IN THIS ANIME AND TRAVIS AND AARON AND IT HAS TEH BEST CAST N IT SHOULD BE UR NUMBR WON BEKUZ ITS SO COOL!!111!1!" Yeah, I know, but take a look at my number one.



~*

Alright, it's time for number 1:

I made this anime my number one favorite. Why? There isn't an unlikable episode, the ending is perfect, and Vic's in it. xDD It's hilarious and heartfelt, AND, it takes "brotherly love" to the max!! XD There is no fancy tuna in Fullmetal. This anime doesn't make me cry after every single episode, so I made it my favorite.



OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB

~*

Those are my top 10 favorite animes. I hope you enjoyed it!

IP BAN, FTW!!

Neopets was part of my childhood, and I had such a good reputation on there, y'know? I never did anything that went against the rules, I had such lovely, happy pets, a lot of NeoPoints.
I was banned from my childhood, recently. More precisely, I was IP banned. -_- For those of you who don't know, that means my entire computer was banned from it.

Yes, I was disappointed, but I found it kind of funny.. I don't know why. :3 And I didn't even do anything wrong, they just banned me for something I didn't do!

Haha, those funny failed adults of Neopets.

HEEEAT... D:< And, a new layout! :)

Oh mai gawd, this heat! I can't take it! It's so hot outside. :( We have no pool in my backyard. But we do have a nice, cold AC... :)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I hope you are enjoying my new layout, forum. I found it on a website that can be found in the links section below.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I did a little more web-surfing to find the release date of the Tamatown Tama-Go, and Forum, let me tell you, Bandai has got to be more clear with these kind of things. I found a video of an interview at this years Toy Fair in NY. Some guy was interviewing a woman from Bandai America, and she was talking about the figures that will go on top of the Tamagotchi. I listened closely, and she very briefly said "coming in the fall." And she said it so casually and briefly that no one really noticed it. So, forum, we're probably looking at September or October, the earliest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Speaking of release dates, I'm happy to say that one of the workers at Nintendo made a mistake when he said the 3DS will be coming out next year... It'll be coming out earlier than that. Thats good, but I hope they aren't just tired of working on it, and they want everyone to buy it now... this console has to be the best one yet if they want to make more money. Hopefully they just made a mistake.
But, anyway this means that it could be out in time for the holidays. :) The 3DS would make a perfect gift.

~*~*~*~*~
That's all for now, forum. Follow my blog for more news and rumors that have been spreading over the internet by clicking the follow button above!

Tamagotchis

I placed a nice fresh battery into an old Tamagotchi (Version 4.5) for something to entertain me this summer... :) Bliss.

Speaking of Tamagotchi's, the new Bandai has not yet spoken of a release date for it's new Tamatown Tama-Go, but I'm assuming it will be released this summer. If your a fan of those cute virtual pets you were held responsible for as a kid, watch out for the larger, and slightly more expensive Tamagotchi this Summer.

Tamagotchi's have been around for years, but never have we experienced our virtual friends in color... and guess what? We probably never will, unless you speak Japanese.
The Tamagotchi + Color has been out in Japan for about 2 years or so. This Tama is said to be "Japanese-Exclusive." I sent an E-Mail to Bandai, asking them why they would want to keep a product that could get them millions of customers away from America. This was their response:

Nia:

Bandai America appreciates your support of the Tamagotchi products.

Bandai companies as a whole manufactures Tamagotchi toys worldwide but there can be product differences between Japan, the U.S. and other countries for a variety of reasons in each toy brand category. The product lineups are therefore tailored to each market.

We shall keep your comments in mind as we go forward with the Tamagotchi brand toys.

Thank you,

Customer Service
Bandai America

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I guess what they said made sense. But, we still may get a colored Tama one day!

Computer fail.

Sorry, forum, but my old Mac is old and out of memory, so I won't be uploading any pictures until I can get it updated. If I feel like getting up off my bed to turn on my real computer that can upload a whole lot of things, then I will. But, for now, no purty pictures. Sorry!

-Nia

Summer

School's finally out, and I am relieved of my hard work. I'll finally be able to update more frequently. :) I hope everyone's summer is fun and relaxing! Don't forget to stay cool, forum!
Over the summer, I'll be having a nice Anime party. ^_^ I'm so excited.

Anyway, while surfing the web for some new gadgets and gizmo's that you guys might be interested to know about, I found something oh-so dreadful. Can you handle it, forum?

Well, we all knew it was coming... The new Tamagotchi.
Forum, if you didn't know this before, the Japanese word "tamago" means "egg." The "Tamago"tchi is supposed to resemble a little alien creature inside an egg.

Tamagotchi's are now called Tamatown, and are pretty much the same as the previous ones... Sort of. This new Tamatown is called Tama-go... here's what it does, forum:
The first Tamagotchi's were flat-ish... Bandai has changed that, sadly. The flat-egg-shape has been morphed into a round, Easter egg shape, and with a slightly larger and higher contrast four-grayscale display. Basically, it's bigger. Forum, you're probably thinking, "Well, thats a bad idea... why would they make a portable device larger than it was before?" Well, to be able to attach brand new "attachable figures," of course! The new $20 (USD) Tama-go has a whole new feature! .... Oh boy.
Obviously sold separately, the new Tama-go collectable figures that are worth $7 each can be attached to the top of your Tama-go to unlock special goods and games... Yay.

Just Stuff I'd Like to Say

If there are any of you people out there who bother to read my blog, I'd like to say thanks.

I've had a terribly long day today. Our teacher piles us with an insane amount of math. We added decimals all day. We also had some guest speakers who talked to us about, you guessed it, math, and middle school. Next school year will be my first year attending middle school, so some kids who started this year came to explain everything to us. Ew.

Tomorrow my class is also going on a Circle Line sightseeing cruise, and we're going to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. But, my sister has a performance, and I cant be late. *Sigh* At least I'll be able to have a nice day off.

Reminder: Saturday, June 5th, 2010 is the Pokemon Movie Marathon on Cartoon Network, which starts at 11:00 AM (EST.) It'll be a nice day out, but if you aren't doing anything and you just want to chill, go n' watch some Pokemon! They'll be playing Pokemon: The Rise of Darkrai, Pokemon: Giritina and the Sky Warrior, and Pokemon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life. Don't miss out!

Finally Beaten

After months of playing, I finally was able to finish playing Pokemon Heart Gold Version. It took me a long time to do it, though.
I feel bad for my Meganium. After I traded over the Pokemon I had from Pokemon Platinum Version to Heart Gold, I started using them to run straight through the game instead of training my starter.

But one thing I didn't like was the ending... Trainer Red was much too easy to beat, and he didn't say anything. Aren't you expecting a whole speech from him, instead of "................................................................................................." ?

Anyway, since I'll be bored with nothing to do, I'll be using Action Replay to train other people's Pokemon. Feel free to contact me if you want me to train yours using cheat codes.

Just a reminder: Every 3rd of each month is Half Price Day on Neopets.com. So go buy stuff for half price today.

Mother's Day~

Hiya, everyone! Yaaaay, new blog layout! ^_^ Ain't it pretty?


Tomorrow, May 9th is Mothers Day! Be sure to treat the women nice tomorrow.

It's nice to give moms a gift. Perhaps a Pandora Bracelet...? They're expensive, but they're sure worth it!

Hissi Day

Attention all Neopets users:

May 4th, 2010, which is today, is Hissi Day. Today is the only day to get a Hissi for free! If you want a Hissi, you will be able to create one today.




Also, Hissi's can now be painted Camouflage and Relic at the Rainbow Pool.

Another New Pokemon to be Revealed..?

Sources indicate that the Japenese show, Pokemon Sunday, will be revealing another new Pokemon in the next episode, which is due to air on May 9th, JST. The episode will be titled "Baba Takes on Battle Practice! & New Pokemon- xx," which told most people a new Pokemon will be revealed. Since Pokemon Sunday rarely gives out secrets like these, I would not get your hopes up. This could be a misinterpretation. Or, they could just reveal a sihlouette. According to Serebii.net, they have heard that in the variety of the show part, a person named Baba loses his Rayquaza in battle, and theorises that the new Pokemon will be the new Pokemon that joins his team.

It is not likely that Pokemon Sunday will show this Pokemon, but if they do, I'll be sure to get a good picture of it for you guys!

Free Realms

I have recently signed up for Free Realms, the free online game, where you can create your own character and go on adventures.

I created a character of my own, and tried it out. This online game requires Adobe Flash Player 9 or above, and needs to be installed on your computer. If your computer is old and does not display graphics well, then I suggest you do not download it.

When creating a Free Realms account, you first get to create an avatar. You have the choice of being a female human, male human, female pixie, or male pixie. I chose the female pixie. You are able to dress up your character with clothing you are given. If you are a pixie, you can choose certain kinds of wings. You also have the choice of face paintings, hair styles, eye color and face shape.

Free Realms does not ask you for much personal information when signing up. They ask you for your birthday and E-Mail address.

Installment does not take long at all. It took me about 5 minutes. It all depends on how fast your PC is. It's OK to install this program. It's very safe, you wont catch any bugs in your computer.

When you first sign up you are allowed to roam around a "Playground" and you may explore while the websites prepare all of the graphics, games, etc. When the website has finished loading, you will be taken to a certain place. You will most likely see a large amount of other people. Some will have odd creatures following them, such as a unicorn. Others will have dogs, cats, or even horses. These different things can be bought with "Station Cash."

Station Cash is used as special money in Free Realms. This special money is used to buy clothing, pets, vehicles, etc. Station Cah is obtained a certain way- You can either buy it with a credit card or Paypal account, or you can buy a "Station Cash Card" at a local store. You are given 250 Station Cash at the beginning of your Free Realms adventure.

Station Cash is just a special type of money in Free Realms. Coins, however, can also be used in Free Realms.
Coins can be used to buy things that are not as rare as other items.

A membership is important to Free Realms. To properly enjoy playing this game, you should buy a membership. A membership is used to buy things that will make you seem more sophisticated on FR. For example, a Parrot could cost 10,000 coins to purchase, but you need a membership to buy it. A membership costs $5.00.


Free Realms has many features to enjoy, and I strongly encourage you to download it.


Free Realms- Rated E-10, for ages 10 and up.

Trends and Upcoming Things

I'm quite bored lately, so I have decided to write a review on the newest craze: Silly Bandz.

Years ago, someone invented a rubber band that was shaped like an object of some sort. This rubber band always kept it's shape, no matter what. These weren't very popular, until just recently. The shaped rubber bands have come up from the ashes, and have swept away the nation. They are now call Silly Bandz, and everyone wants them.

What makes these so popular? The fact that they keep their shape when you take them off and stuff is cool, I guess, but thats all...? What's so great about them? They've already been banned from schools because people actually get up, and trade their freakin' rubber bands in the middle of a lesson! How absurd is that? Anyway, apparently there are different series' of them: Sea Life, Fantasy, Instruments, Jungle Life, etc. They also have scented, and glow-in-the-dark ones. There are larger ones, and smaller ones, and some seem to be more uncommon than others.

I enjoy Silly Bandz, but I believe it's just a phase. They are just going to die down, just like all of the other things we all enjoyed back then.

Silly Bandz can be found in convenient stores such as 7 Eleven or a local Cards-and-Gifts Store.



Leave a comment about what you think about Silly Bandz!



Rumors have been spreading like crazy about the new Pokemon games being released: Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version. Blogs and websites have been buzzing with facts and screenshots. It appears that the rumors have been true! Poketto Monsutā Burakku Howaito, or Pocket Monsters: Black and White (more commonly referred to as Pokemon Black and White) has been officially announced, and it will become the 5th Generation of our favorite Japanese Monsters! Screenshots show increased 3-D Graphics, but this game will not be released for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS Handheld System. Director Junichi Masuda stated that several aspects of the series were being revamped for the new generation.

A silhouette of an unidentified Pokemon was shown by Junichi Masuda on the February 7, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday, stated to be in the upcoming film for the summer and to be identified in a future episode on February 21. This new character would also be featured in the March 2010 issue of "CoroCoro Comic." Since then, the mysterious Pokemon has been named Zoroark, evolved from Zorua- another new character that was introduced. Both of these new Pokemon are said to be featured in the upcoming film Pokemon Diamond & Pearl The Movie: Phantom Ruler: Zoroark. The April 18, 2010, episode of Pokémon Sunday showed game footage of a player character walking around in a 3-D environment and a single screenshot depicting a battle between the player's Zoroark and an enemy Zorua.


A trailer for the upcoming Pokemon movie has also been found:

3DS


You may or may not have heard of the new upcoming Nintendo hands held console. This new console is known as the 3DS. To most people, it is a remake of Nintendo's old "Virtual Boy" - The 3-D Console that left people with seizures and aching backs. Now, Nintendo will be releasing a console that has extreme three dimensional graphics that do not require the use of special glasses.

When I say "three dimensional" I don't mean the games pop out of the screen. I mean, the graphics LOOK 3-D and are very extreme. A trailer for this new console can be found on video-sharing websites, such as YouTube. The trailer shows a DSi Ware game called Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda. The 3DS is being held by a person, and as the person tilts the console, you can see different parts of the game. It may seem a bit cheap, but since it is a DSi Ware game, it's not top-notch. Here is a link to the trailer:

What do you think? Is it going to be a great console like the Wii? Or just another Virtual Boy?


Thats all I have to say! I hope you enjoyed "Trends and Upcoming Things!"

S.O.S !

I've watched so many Anime's over the years, and now I've run out of Anime to watch. A few people recommended Fullmetal Alchemist, but I need some more ideas.









Don't you just hate it when you work extremely hard for something, and someone else gets it instead? And then you automatically hate the person who got it? That happens a lot on Neopets when you're writing an application for a pet that's up for adoption. You really have to pay attention to what the owner of the Neopet likes and dislikes. If you write something the person doesn't like, your chances of getting the pet you want will decrease. I have a lot of experience with applications for Neopets, and if anyone has any trouble with theirs I'd be happy to help. Just remember it's important to read the rules for the pet carefully, and don't send a message to the owner saying, "if u giv me ______ i will fed n play wit him evry day." Thats noobish.
But even experienced people need help. I went to the extreme, and now I'm applying for a Krawk. The competition is insane. If anyone has any Krawk fan-art they would like to share with me, you can Neomail me at Neoadopterz, or E-Mail me at Neonia@optonline.net. I will leave credit, I wont steal anything.


Seriously, creating a Flash Website is extremely difficult. I'm sticking with my blog for now.
Please, please, please, send me any website or blog that gives tutorials on HTML and Coding. I need help with it, because I fail epically at it.


If I can get people to create a Neopets account under my referral, then I will get Referral Points on my account. The more points I get- the more prizes I earn. Some of the prizes are very rare, too. So please create a Neopets account by clicking on this button!

You can also get on Neopets by clicking on the banner at the top of my blog.

I've written a petition that is targeting teachers who grade homework and putting the grade on report cards. I believe it's outrageous! Sign this petition if you support this cause.



What's with these new rubber bands? The Silly Bandz? I don't get the point of them ... sure, they're cool, they keep their shape, whatever, but what's so great about them. I like them, but it's not as amazing as people say they are. Nothing Revolutionary. Gee, it takes one simple idea to sweep away the nation, doesn't it?
