Wii All Have Fun



Nintendo loves bringging people together. Freinds, family, lovers, and even enemies can sit down and have fun together. I believe that is why they brought out something like the Super Smash Bros series. Becuase what doesn't attract Ninetendo lovers like getting the chance to beat the crap out of other Nintendo characters?

Brawl...the third game in the series brings a lot for everyone to do. Social butterflies can have fun beating the crap out of their buddies and loners (or social outcasts) can have fun on single player mode. There are extras added to the game to make free for all more hectic. The new additions, the smash balls, are proof of how hectic a battle can get once some one sees one on the field. Call them finshing moves (depending on the character who gets the ball), cheating, and your savior on the field, the smash ball gives each character a special move that causes a lot of damage, or instant death to the many unlucky people on the field. Some can even help other characters so be careful how you use them!

The stages come in a variety of lands and Ninetdo backgrounds. Fire Emblem characters finally get their own place and Nintendo are nice enough to give non Nintendo characters like Snake and Sonic their own place as well. Everyone will have fun moving their eyes all across the screen to doge their opponent and the stages many changing phases as if each stage has emotional problems (tip: beware of any animal on ANY stage).

There is customazible content. No...nobody can make their own character outfits or anything like that. People can make their own stages! Although lacking, plenty out there can have fun designing their unfair stage of bombs and spikes golore for people to play in! Hate the peaceful and unfiting music of Smashville...well not a problem! You can go to the music editer and tune down the possiblity of any slow song showing up so no one falls asleep during a macth.

Guess what loners! This game has a storyline now! Thanks to the people at Sqaure Enix, loners can have fun going through an actual storyline of a game thought not to have a storyline other than some guy playing with dolls. I won't spoil anything but if no one wants to waste their time trying to get the hidden characters like they did in Melee, then they can get the characters through the storyline! YAY! That makes people who got Mewtwo the hard way, much happier. Also this story mode is two player so don't forget to invite the few friends you might have to play with you. Just hope that they don't suck.

But loners aren't stuck to just the story mode and the usual Classic mode that a lot of people are probably tired of by now. There's online play! So as long as you have someone on your friend list, you have someone to play with! YAY! There's something for everybody! Unless you're one of the unlucky people who don't have friends or know of anybody else with a Nintendo Wii.

The only problem is for people who are still whining about wave dashing and the changes made to specific characters. Yes, this game requires people to drag their lazy butts across the screen slower than they would have in Melee. Don't know what wave dashing is? Then don't worry about it (it might make you sad)! These people may also follow the "no items, Fox only, Final Destination" quote and make it a reality (or at least the no items and Final Destination part). Just do not play that way too much or else the game will become pretty dull. This game was designed for the kiddies despite its rated T for teens rating. Either way, there is still enough competition for everybody.

Transforming into Real Women (Rock of Love Charm School)


Not a charming sight to behold. The same could be said for last year's Flavor of Love Charm School. The equally slutty, immature, or believably hopeless bunch of reality "women" get their turn in a charm school in hopes that they can change for the better. Of course...also to see how long they might last in a house before they kill each other or become lesbians due to the lack of men in sight (Such a thought could have been possible if Dallas stayed longer in the house with Lacey. I swear Lacey has a crush on her).

The brave soul in charge of changing these believed to be females is Sharron Osborn: a popular wife of the rock n' roll star Ozzy Osbourne. This brave soul leads the "women" with challenges that are set to a certain commandment each and every day. If one does really well then they are safe from being expelled and if one fails the challenge then they face a bigger chance of going home. For example, the commandment "Thou Shalt Rock Onto Others" is the challenge to be able to express one's feelings fully onto another. Jessica, who really wanted to be liked, failed the challenge by holding back and was thus sent home. Thou shalt listen to Sharron's will!

It shouldn't be surprising if anybody has been watching these creatures in their natural habitats on whatever reality shows they've been on, then they know that Lacey is often the predator that loves picking people off one by one. The drama often explodes constantly with this one and it can get frustrating watching this demon climb up and up into the final two (predictable) while people who deserved charm school are kicked out. Hopefully maybe a miracle will come in after Heather is kicked off (predictable) next week. Why am I guessing the outcomes! BECAUSE THE PREVIEWS GIVE AWAY TOO MUCH!!!! That's a huge problem with this show. I understand trying to grab attention and all but the previews give too much away!

Too bad it's too late to tone it down. The show is almost done with two or one more episode to go. This is a nice way to speed up time and a good show to watch for reality show junkies who want to escape drama in their lives by watching other people's drama. I just hope the person who wins, actually deserves the prize!

Changing Through a Camera (Social Anxiety blogs)

It's nice to introduce people. Some people are shy and need some warming up to people in order to get out there. Some people are social butterflies and need no introductions at all as talking comes easier to them. To the shy ones, they might be like cocoons that need a little help to open.

Some people are stuck in their cocoons and need constant pushing. It can be hard sometimes and it can be easy depending on where the caterpillar decided to start it's process into a butterfly. Some of these cocoons are...

Social Anxiety blogs. The best way to describe these blogs are people ready to put themselves out there and involve into the desired social person that they have dreamed of. They set up their progress, downfalls, goals all for the whole wide world to see. Of course there are others who dream of passing their current states too. They deserve some attention too.

Like most blogs, the first one may not be special. A nerve racking introduction in front of a camera. They have something to share with their viewers but don't know if anyone cares to watch or comment. The truth is...when someone makes a blog, they set up an audience to talk to. So of course there will be people who care and don't care to watch but who cares about the non watchers? The watchers and commenters are people who can help these people break out of their shells with tips, empathy, and...even some negativity.

Some of these butterflies are nearly out of their cocoons while others are still trying to break through.

Grass is Greener on the Other Side (Trading Spouses)

There is no way in hell that I would try to trade my future spouse for another spouse. My grass is already as green as it can get. However, some people think differently and may just want to experience what it's like to have another spouse out of curiousity.

That's when Trading Spouses comes in. A show detecticaded to ending the curiousity of others by actually putting them with another spouse and family. From what I've seen so far, the exact opposite of the type of family someone is used to. For example: the Christain wife who got traded with a Hippie wife and a Vegan wife getting traded with a meat eating family. Sounds like a nightmare to me right?

Well it can be a nightmare to anybody if the wives didn't get a good amount of money in the end. That's right. Stay with a family that's the exact opposite of your origional family and get paid for it! The nightmare of it all is what the spouses make of it. The Christain wife learned that there are good in even the worst of situations and to calm down to a reasonable level when her views might be challenged.

As usual with most reality shows, I think the drama that can happen is all a part of the entertainment. But since no one is trying hard to win a date or kick someone off the show and not saying "I'm not here to make friends", I find the whole show refreshing.

It's quite sad that I didn't wacth this show when it started. Maybe I would have had something to wacth when there was nothing on.

You're Own Personal Movie Place (Youtube)

Youtube is the place to be for internet junkies like me. Self-help blogs, video game playing, anything. My boredom instantly dies when watching this website.

Charlesissocoollike, Teens-wit, Protojonusa, and Jaceyfromkorea: the videos I can find from thousands of people are endless. That's what I like about the website! If anyone hasn't heard of Youtube then they must have been dead before 2005.

That's how popular this website is. If one wants to reach some kind of fame or audience then they can find that here. Youtube is open to all kinds of people and countries around the world.

What I don't like about this website might not matter in a few months. The owners of Youtube are deciding to expand the time of videos that people create. That way Youtube users won't have to adopt editing to shorten a video or split it a part if they want others to be able to see it. The current bug that they are having with the subscriptions might just get fixed soon thanks to Simpfilms and other people's comments. Videos can be watched in higher quality now so videos in horrible quality are no longer a problem.

Youtube is a place that's shaping up enough for everyone to enjoy it!

It Takes Time (Textbookwheel.com)

It's nice signing up to a website, getting a free shipping code, and advertising the website everywhere. Some times you might think there's no point. I mean one dollar and ninety five cents isn't enough to wow everyone. For those in college, it's enough to get someone a candy bar.

That's what I thought when I got my first paycheck. I thought "whatever" and simply cashed the check for the fun of it and kept advertising the website. However I thought differently when I got another check saying that I got twenty dollars. That's a major difference! Why not try some more? For my last check so far I got twenty six dollars and thirty three cents! What fun!

Textbookwheel.com is a place where college students can sell their textbooks for money. Just put in the free shipping code 580955 and you can get free shipping just like that. Sign up and put the free shipping code 580955 and you can do the same thing that I'm doing. Letting people sell textbooks and get money.

Just make sure that the item you are trying to get rid of DOES NOT LOOK LIKE CRAP! That's why it's a good idea to take care of your belongings! As long as the there are no stains or missing pages then you can sell it. You can also get rid of comics, manga, and fictional books as well as graphic calculators.

It does take time to get some money so please have some patience!

Wrist Tiring Fun (Guilty Gear XX Accent Core)

Ah...I come home and sit down after a boring morning full of routines and classwork. My eyes barely open, wishing for a long nap to let the day go by in order to speed up the same zombie routine over and over again. Sleeping can take away a lot from somebody's day, especially if their energy can be spent doing something else.

Video games. A great way to invite people over and beat the crap out of each other while talking about how the day went. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core is a great example of this. Full of rocking roll music, wacky yet cool characters, and different move sets, I find myself having a blast beating the crap out of other people and computers. Even characters who I hate I even find fun in playing as them. What fighting game could ever do that?

There are endless amounts of ways to play as a character. One way or another, someone out there will find a way to play as a character. That's what people call strategy and the cast of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core are full of strategy. Figuring out how you might draw a person in through mind games is a lot more fun then trying to beat the crap out of them. Why not mess with their minds a little? Look like you might do one thing but do the other.

There is a lot of variety in the music. Even if someone hates rock 'n roll, they might find themselves rocking to the creative sounds of some of the character's themes. I don't know how someone can manage to fit both rock n roll and classic music together in A.B.A.'s theme but they sure did.

Anyone into Street Fighter may want to look at this game as Street Fighter isn't the ONLY 2-D game out there. There are a lot of things that I love in this game more than Street Fighter. Each character is origonal. I-No is a rock n' Roll witch who uses her guitar to fight. Bridget is a boy dressed as a nun who uses a yo-yo and a teddy bear full of razors to fight! There are a numerous amount of combos that a person can use depending on how they use a character. Like a person can manage a three hit combo with Ky while another person can manage an eleven hit combo with the same character! Plus the best thing is you can hit people on the ground and not have to wait for them to take their presious time getting up! That's always a bonus for me. Use the over drive moves in an combo and we got a good game here! Get tired of someone and just use an instant death move on them. But have that move fail and your ability to do an over drive move disappears for that round! So be careful.

Of course with all 2-D cames, Guilty Gear can take a toll on one's wrist and fingers. I suggest taking your time with the direction pad before hitting one of the action buttons to perform a special move. At least that's what I'm doing...now. Ouch!
