I guess I’m not playing Sonic: Lost World for the Wii-U


I’m not even totally devastated that Sonic: Lost World is only for Nintendo consoles.  I mean, it’s still a downer for me cuz I’m not getting a Wii-U, but I don’t know of any titles I’d be interested in getting for it anyway.  I’m still digging away at Sonic Generations (the Act 1 and Act 2 challenges).  I could go to the third BOSS but I feel like I have to complete most of the challenges first, plus to unlock goodies like music and art.  And in Sonic Unleashed it’s the same thing; there are stage challenges and even Stages to still visit there too.  So yeah, I’ve got enough Sonic the Hedgehog video game stuff that I can play in the meanwhile.  And Sonic Rivals 2!!! I have so much fun with that game and I play it at least once each week.
            Sorta makes me think about getting the first Sonic Rivals.

NiGHTS crazy!!

Hi everyone!
     First some news...I joined NiGHTS Community at NiD.com!!! For weeks I was wondering when I should join, because for a long while now (uh, actually since June) I wanted to officially be part of a large group of NiGHTS fans.  When I went around YouTube that time, I watched fan-made videos, most of them slide-shows and a few fan-made flash animated pieces.  I discovered that, wow, I'm not the only NiGHTS fan in the whole world.  No matter how many times I tell my sister how great NiGHTS is, she doesn't care.  Well, I shouldve joined the NiGHTS Community a long time ago.  It's just that I didn't know about NiGHTS into Dreams.com until mid-summer.The fan base is growing ^.^ 
     I'm still trying to set up my avatar and profile pages.

Now for my personal gaming news:
     On November 22, I returned to playing NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams.  I wanted to improve my scoring for the Delight City Nightopia, the second mission called "Neon City Battle."  I only earned as good as a "C" in that mission.  I love the music in Neon City Battle :)  A lot of the music in this game makes me wanna dance, and then I feel so giddy!  Ack, I know I can do better than a C in that mission; I just need to use trial and error to not...get...lost.  The level is a maze.  Phew.
     After that, I wanted to improve the score for the Chase Mission in Delight City.  But I forgot that it starts out with Reala talking to NiGHTS, and then they battle!!  Yay, lots of Reala!  It's always so interesting when Reala talks to NiGHTS, cuz that means he's going to make NiGHTS mad,  Nyaw (well, Reala doesn't have a gender either, but he sounds male to me.  NiGHTS on the other hand...;] ).
     Then I went to My Dream.  It was noisy.  I have 30+ Nightopians in there, and at any given time, 50% of them are f*****g singing.  It's those darn musical boxes.  There's several of them, so many of these little guys are bound to bump into one of them, activate the music, and start singing. It's only cute when one or two are singing at a time.  But 10 or more...ergh!!
     Finally, I tried my hand at the final battle, on Helen's side of the story. I had to so the chase mission for Bellbridge first, and THEN its the fight.  I learned that Wizeman has three large circles behind him, and that means three hits.  During the battle, NiGHTS must be a Dolphin in the water, a rocket in outer space, and a Dragon in the area with the fake Wizemans.  I actually(and finally) made it using the Dragon in outer space and the Rocket in the fake Wizeman part.  With 2 SECONDS TO SPARE!!  I remember saying when I had 20 seconds left, that "I don't think I'm gonna make it."  But part of me didn't want to give up just yet, I knew what I had to do.  Those 130 seconds go by fast.

Gotta wake up? Play Bleach!

     Tuesday afternoon it was raining here in Southern California.  I felt like napping but I knew I shouldn't, or my body will think I need to stay awake during the night.  So.  I did what I do sometimes when I want to wake up and get my heart rate up: play Bleach: Shattered Blade for the Wii.  It's based on one of the japanese anime shows I watch with my sister.
     It's a fighting game, which means, if I really want to win the fight, I have to be alert.  I play this game standing up, so that I can feel like I'm in the battle.  I unlocked a bunch of characters already.  The one I most recently unlocked last time, and then played this time, was the character Kaname Tosen.  I thought I'd unlock another character by playing him in the Arcade Mode, where you choose a character and it semi-randomly puts your fighter through eight battles--matches, if you will--in a row.  After you finish those eight matches, you hear main character Ichigo Kurosaki say "Congrats!  Way to go!"  and you earn some currency to buy goodies for the game like character voice samples or images for its gallery.
     Well, the first time I played Kaname Tosen I wasn't familiar with his fighting style (in the game, anyway), and so I played him in a practice Versus Mode against the Soul-Reaper Renji Abarai.  That Renji is a fierce fighter, which is why I had Tosen go up against him in case other fighters are as tough.
Unfortunately for the Arcade Mode session, I forgot to write down the characters and the order in which they appeared, including the ones I lost to on the first two tries.  My bad, I should've.  The first two Arcade Mode games I lost on the fourth or fifth match and didn't retry. The third time was the charm, though I didn't unlock anyone.  Among these opponents were Gin Ichimaru, Sajin, Yorouichi, Chad, and Yumichika (who I won against with maybe 2 health points left).  Oh, and Shuhei.  I like him, he uses melee attacks as well as his Zanpakto.
     Speaking of Bleach the anime, I just watched episode 152 last night taped on VHS.  It's in the middle of the Arrancar season.  How many episodes does this show have anyway?  Now I know that Arturo Plateado, the Bleach: SB exclusive character, is one of those types of villains, an Arrancar.  But in the game it is unknown what kind of enemy he is.  Little did I know there would be more like him in the anime...
