Just hanging out, and More First Impressions

Many things have occurred since the visitation of my good friend here, hanging out with groups of people, being silly, playing on playgrounds (Even though we're all like 16-19), and me cutting my thumb open. On Thursday a number of people decided to drop by, changing our numbers from 2 to 6 people, and during this time we hung out in a clearing beside my house where houses are to be built in about 6 years ago, thats not an error, they were to be finished 6 years ago. Anyways in this time one of them who has an astoundingly short attention span decided to go venturing off into the forest, and another followed. Meanwhile the remaining 4 decided just to let them wander, thinking nothing of it really, until we started to worry, "What if they got lost?" we thought, and with that, we followed into the path we thought they had taken. After searching for about 15-20 minutes the path came to an end, in my neighborhood, we looped back to the original hangout point where they soon appeared. Soon after me and Dylan decided to attack wood for no good reason when I had spotted something shiny, on closer inspection I noticed it was a bottle and proceeded to grab it, a very, very poor decision, upon noticing it was a large shard of glass I let go, this is when I cut my thumb open. Upon noticing the blood I dropped the glass, fainted, came to, ran home and cleaned the wound the best I could. And that was the biggest excitement thus far, anyways onto the gaming section of this post.

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Pokemon White
Sorry about the box art, its the best I could do for a logo.

Ahh Pokemon, how I have loved thee since the days of Pokemon Red and Blue. I had traded in a couple of games to get this one, and it was worth it. Before getting this I had been playing Soul Silver (Where I got Celebi and a (Shiny) Suicune (This will be important later)) and I beat the hell out of it in about a month or two. Anyways, when I got white my first mission was to transfer both Celebi and Suicune to my new game to unlock a couple of Pseudo-Legendaries (Only legendary cause they can only be obtained with this event/offer) named Zorua and Zoroark.
Pretty awesome giveaway, if you ask me.
By the time I got Zorua something hit me, I still hadn't obtained Victini. Looking at the insert inside the case on how to do it I notice that theres a little note saying:
"If you make Victini faint during the battle or if you flee from the battle, Victini will no longer be in the room with you. In that case, if you go out of the room and re-enter, Victini will come back again. Victini will continue to show up until you catch it."
Noticing this I get an idea, beat the living tar out of Victini with Zorua until it evolved into Zoroark, and did that I did. about an hour or so later my once level 10 Zorua was a level 30 Zoroark, and having mercy on the poor creature I finally captured it. Anyways this game is everything I had hoped it would be, and in my opinion better than the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum games.

Insert Post Name Here, And a Quick First Game Impression.

Just felt like writing for the sake of it, just cause thats how I roll. Anyways, tomorrow my girlfriend will be leaving for the tropical paradise that is Hawai'i. And as she leaves for Hawai'i, an old friend of mine will be coming to town to stay for awhile, we shall probably have the same old visit of randomness, silliness, and just plain weirdness. We have always come up with the strangest things together, like the gopher that spontaneously bursts out of walls/floors screaming then leaving as if nothing ever happened every time an awkward silence occurs, or other nonsense like the Mr. Moo's Easy Squeeze Cheese that we had found in a store in years past. We even have a long list of jokes that we had made whilst hanging out, playing games, and other situations. And soon many more strange things will be created from the demented minds that we both have.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS TIME
Had no idea dreams were a fragile thing... Or that they were even a physical object.
So far, this game has been pretty interesting. You start off as a young boy named Seto, who had gone his whole life only knowing an old man that had raised him for what I assume to be his whole life. Just before the events of the game starts the old man passes away and Seto buries him in a shallow grave and decides to live alone, until one night where he goes into the old mans office and finds a letter from the old man himself (Kind of odd that he NEVER told Seto his name, not even in this last note) saying that he should go towards the Red Tower (Or if you're smart enough, you realize its the Tokyo Tower.) to find other survivors of an "apocalypse" that is NEVER explained to you, not even by the ghost of the little girl you find near a subway station. One thing I found rather odd are the weapons, not just what they are, but where you find them. Once I was looking through a bathroom, hoping to find something like a healing item or whatnot, what do I find? A wooden sword. In the toilet. Not in a store in the subway station, no, that would be too mainstream for them. Anyways, Where I am right now I'm looking for a silver-haired girl who SOMEHOW managed to get through a series of locked doors without the keys (Ahh video games, how you love so not to make sense), and I also noticed her lack of clothes.
Thats right, she just has 2 sheets of cloth tied to each other as a form of clothing.
She has to be one of the strangest video game characters I've ever seen, she sings, is spotted, runs away, leaving various (poor) drawings all over the place as she goes. Kinda weird there, but whatever. Another oddball I've come across is the Merchant.
Scariest thing in the game so far, he is.
This guy is the best merchant to ever exist in a game when it comes to convenience, always appearing at save points, only when you actually need him though, I've never sent him on his way without buying/selling anything so far. I may fully review this later on, but to those who want to try it, I highly recommend it.

New Blog! Plus Game Review!

Hello to all out there in the multimedia wasteland known to us as "The Internet". I have as of recently decided to bring it upon myself to Blog just for the sake of giving myself things to do, like talk about video games and other useless garbage, as I would normally do in person if I were to speak to you. Anyways, I thought I'd start off my new blog with a game review of a game I recently just finished (Even 100%'d).
