WEEKLY ROUND-UP! OCT. 7- OCT. 12/13!

POKÉMON X & Y WEEK!

7. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/11/13! Pageantry.

I had to take a week off to catch-up on my copy of Pokémon X and to start my new job working overnight flow team at my local Target.

6. WTF WED! MONKEYS, MCDONALD'S, F***S, COLD PIZZA, & THAT'S SO COREY!

And, so far, I love my new job.

5. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/9/13! Mirror match.

Riot revealed that the glitched mirror matches are actually part of a new mode their developing called "One For All".

4. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/8/13! Yep & Virality.

The shifts of my job, from 4 AM to 9:30 AM, actually being traditionally when I sleep, are tricky but I'm getting used to the shifts.

3. MUSIC MONDAY! TREEHOUSE OF HORRIBLE JONTRONS & QUEEBLOS!

Also, I'm loving my first runthrough of Pokémon X!

2. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/12/13! NERDCULTURE SMACKDOWN! POKÉMON X & Y UPDATE! #4

But I do have some qualms with it that I'll detail in my blog articles about my experiences: some newer features are poorly integrated, there don't seem to be enough new Pokémon, & the endgame is practically nonexistent. Still, I think I'm gonna wind up liking 6th Generation more than 5th Generation.

1. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/10/13! Jinx.

Also, Jinx is super OP. I still play lots of League and plan to continue doing so.

MUSIC MON! GOTTA BONK 'EM ALL INTO THE DANGER ZONE!

 "GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL" POKÉMON THEME (Tay Zonday)

As I play yet another Pokémon RPG, I find myself meticulously catching every Pokémon I haven't caught in some, mostly in vain, attempt to catch 'em all. But really, that's not why I play these games; I play these games because of the experiences created within the game and with friends.

Why do you play Pokémon?

 BONKUMIRU

The guys who make videos like this are a highly under-appreciated resource of entertainment, hard-earned skill, and artistic value on the internet. Video games can be a pallet for these young artists to express themselves either for the worthy pursuit of simple pleasure or for the high pursuit of pushing themselves further and further toward the highest heights of their craft.

Also, there is a guy saying "Bonk!

ARCHER: DANGER ZONE!

Archer is one of my favorite TV shows of recent years, animated or otherwise, because of the fantastic cast, classy art-style taking lessons learned from Adult Swim techniques, and the home run writing that often hits a joke out of the park long before you even realize you're going to laugh at it in a few minutes.

Also, Archer says "Danger Zone" a lot and the only scene I enjoyed in Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie was the scene where Will Ferrell watched Top Gun several times in a row. Don't ask me why, but sharing is what this blog is about so there...I shared.

WORD OF THE DAY! 10/21/13! POKÉBLOG X #1

Kalos starters [kal-ohs-stahrt-ers]
noun
1. The Pokémon that Professor Sycamore's proteges offers to the protagonist in the 6th Generation of Pokémon games; Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie. Also included, are the Kanto Starters, excluding Pikachu, that Sycamore offers later in the game.

EX. As many of my friends know, I changed my plans on which Kalos Starter I would pick for my first playthrough of Pokémon X. Originally, I planned to get Froakie & Bulbasaur, but, after the reveal of Chespin's final form, Chesnaught, I changed my mind.

CHESPIN FOR LIFE!

I decided I liked Chespin the most and that it still met my plans of mixing it up by not picking the fire starter. Unfortunately, as cool as Greninja is, I decided that I wasn't as big a fan and figured I could figure out another Pokémon to fit my Water type needs (which, you'll see, is not technically the case, fufufu). I plan to eventually rename it Cptn. Carrot after one of my favorite characters from the Terry Pratchett books.

What does that mean for my other choices? Well, since I wasn't going to be picking Bulbasaur as my Kanto starter, I had to pick between Charmander & Squirtle and, as much as I figured I could just use the event Torchic, I really wanted Charizard X! I named my Charmander "Smaug" and I felt a lot of nostalgia for my first starter from way back in the day. I remember my nickname for my Charmander in Yellow was "Chili", oddly enough.

And, while we're here, I'll talk about other core members I captured for my team:

I'm not sure why, but I just really connected with the Ralts I caught and am excited to see it's Mega Gardevoir form. I need to rename it and I'm thinking Sir Lancelot.

Fletchling is pretty great, despite the 4X weakness to Rock, and I think he is my favorite generational bird after Staraptor. I'm going to rename the Talonflame "Hawky" after Sokka's pet hawk in the Avatar: The Last Airbender series.

Steel/Ghost type that is a "love it or hate it" Pokémon? There are two types of people: people that appreciate Honedge's cool design and strategy and people that hate it because it's a living sword... I don't know if I like the latter's opinion cuz I think he is pretty sweet. I will probably rename my Honedge "Conan" after the sword-wielding barbarian.

Last but not least, is the cutest member of my team Amaura, the new Ice/Rock dinosaur. This little cute creature has a neat typing and even neater abilities. I also noticed that your hand freezes if you touch it's ice crystals on its sides in Pokémon Amie-- which is awesome!

And that's the first little bit of info about my experience with the game. Expect more of my opinions and experience later this week.
