Guys! Guys! I know i haven't been on here in a while, (because i've been on a One Piece watching streak!), but I just had to share this hat I made with everyone I can think of! I'm so excited with how it turned out! http://milayou.deviantart.com/art/Chopper-Hat-485811235

I just got past Alabasta and a couple of the filler arcs before Skypeia. Oh god Arlong Park was so GOOD! It's like every arc just keeps getting better!

OMG guys! I won a kindle tablet at my employee appreciation party for work today! Im so excited! I can even get Sonic Dash and stuff for it!
-
YES! My financail aid went through after all! I don't have to pay the $3000 hospital bill! I can stop worrying now!

I was supposed to be off the next 2 nights, but my boss wants me to pick up friday. Which do I need more? Free time? Money? I don't know!
-
Do you want to buy something? Go to work! Do you want to stay here and play video games and stuff? Stay home!
-
Indeed! On the one hand, I need a day or two off every now and then so I don't explode from stress, but on the other hand, if i pick up a day, I'll have 79 hours on my next check. That's a LOT of hours.

Hey guys! So I'm playing Sonic CD again for the first time in probably 16 years. So naturally, I have a few questions. I know for each level, to get the "good future" you have to go back in the past and destroy the floaty thing that's 'somewhere' in the level. That much I know. What about the projecter thing that shows an image of Metal Sonic, which you can also blow up? What does that do? I've got the good future without blowing that up, so is it just extra bonus points? If you have to go to the past to find the thing to blow up, is there any point in going into the future, from the present? Or is it just there to throw you off from getting to the past? Can you do anything important in the future? Also, I forget the significance of the Time Stones. (That is what you get from the special stages, right? wasn't it something different than chaos emeralds?) I have a feeling I need them to get a "good ending". I know I could just go read a FAQ or something, but I figured I'd ask here, because well, that's what forums are for, right? Let's get some activity up in here!

So, that Blaze the Cat background that Cinescense posted before. It finally answered my lifelong question: Was it her gloves or her coat that had the fuzzy trim? And now I know the gloves I made last year are accurate.

Final Fantasy III (DS remake)- Okay, so I used to always watch my brother play Final Fantasy games growing up, but never played them myself. So a couple years ago, he got me FF2 for PSP, and FF3 for DS for my birthday. I have since beat 2, but just got around to playing 3 recently. I'm still about halfway through, but i've been working on it. I actually played around on the original NES rom of 3 years ago, but never beat it. So now i'm going to! Sonic Unleashed (PS2)-Bought if for my birthday 2 years ago and got halfway through, but since my brother and I shared a memory card, when I moved away, he kept my data. I have since bought my own memory card, and so I actually have to start over. But i'm super excited about finishing this one, because I saw him beat the Wii version, and it looked really fun. And I actually like the werehog's gameplay, what I played of it anyway. Sonic Rivals 2 (PSP)-Bought this one about a year ago. I finished Tails and Silver's stories, and got halfway through Shadow's. But now finishing it is a matter of getting my game to actually work. The little disc cartridge was cracked when I got it, but I managed to get it to work after taping it back together. But lately it hasn't wanted to work, so I need a new outer cartridge thing for it. The game itself it cool though, I enjoy a fun little racing game every now and then. Pokemon Ruby-I'll say it now, I'm probably not gonna get the remakes. I liked gen 3 for what it was and playing a remake just wouldn't be the same. But I won't get off topic about that. The reason I'm playing this one again right now isn't for the main story, I actually already beat that a little while back. But I once got 50 wins in the battle tower on this verison, before I knew anything about raising your pokemon's base stats, and used awful guys like Solrock and Sealeo. Not even Walrein, just Sealeo. So I wanted to raise up a good team, and see if I can beat the battle tower agian, now that I know what i'm doing. I think I can do it! Lunar Silver Star Harmony (PSP)-This is actually the 3rd(?) remake of the game Lunar: The Silver Star, originally for Sega CD (later remade for Playstation, GBA, and PSP). I never played the original versions, but my brother had the PS version, and I watched him beat that one. I got the GBA version a while back and beat it, but I wanted this one, because the gameplay is more true to the original version (the GBA's battle system was a bit simplified), and because it's voice acted, like the original. Only with new voices, which takes getting used to. The interesting thing is, the title theme for this version is the same song as the PS version, sung by the same lady, only with re-written words. It's kinda weird. Out of all of those, I'm most actively playing FF3, but I'm working on all of them as I can. I like to try and finish one thing before I start another, but it doesn't always happen.

Holy crap guys. So there was a friggin huge praying mantis at work last night. It even turned it's head to look at me and I freaked out! Our old lady manager was the only one brave enough to bag it from behind and throw it out the door!

Oh, snap! The STH facebook page just posted a new Sonic Boom pic! *spoiler comment*

Yup! I'm not lying! They had the link to the sega blog with more pics on there too:http://blogs.sega.com/2014/08/14/new-trailer-screenshots-and-concept-art-for-sonic-boom/
*SPOILERS!* Looks like Shadow is confirmed too!
-
Yeah. I saw! I knew Metal Sonic was going ti be in already but Shadow was a surprise. Doesn't appear to be a redesign though
-
Check metal sonic's....WHAT IS THAT ROUND THING UNDER HIM?! It doesn't look good....
-
Sweeeeet! I just got STH #263 in the mail yesterday! My first comic book since subscribing! I'm so excited!

I don't know why, but subscribers have been getting 263 really early. More than usual. Too bad we can't say the same for it being uploaded to the site :P
-
I DID enjoy it, thanks!
Man, I'm sorry! I would scan mine for you guys if I had a scanner...
-
Nah. Don't worry about it. It comes onto the site eventually...just...need...patience... ;)
-
I'm sorry, but I'm mad right now. There's this local festival next month that I've been looking forward to all year, and I just found out I have to work that night again, because all the requests are taken. It'll be the 5th year in a row I haven't got to go. I just wanna go!
- Show previous comments 2 more

Well, all I know is that the requests are "first come, first serve". Which seems like it can cause some unfairness when the same people are finding out first when it is, so they always know when to request off before everyone else. When I asked the manager this morning when it was, so I could request off, that's when she told me the requests are already filled. I'm just kinda bummed about it. I'll get over it eventually or find something else to do, but still.
-
YES!! They're going to bring up the charges against that guy again! The one who destroyed my car in the accident! He's finally going to eat justice for what he did!!

Exactly. Things only go to court if there is enough evidence that a prosecution could be reasonably made.

Oh. my. wow. So I made food last night for 7 hours straight non stop. It never slowed down. I was literally running and making food for all of that time. I'm really tired now.

o.o oh my, you deserve a good rest. You really do. Have some. Stupid hungry people. >:c give duck a break!
-
Ha ha! Thanks guys! I'm starting to wonder, I think I AM half robot sometimes!
Not sure why it was so busy though. I thought everyone'd be up in Virginia for tax-free weekend. Guess not.
-
Well, I finally made an "about me" section on my profile, if anyone's bored or interested. It's mostly my life story in the past year or so, which I've metioned some of in my updates in recent months.
-
Long about me pages are your friend! ;)
Really interesting! Well done
(And do I see DeviantArt page? Excuse me while I start watching you)
-
D'aww, shucks! Thanks!
I haven't put up a whole lot on my deviant art lately, but I've been trying to pad it out with some random things I've made until I make some better things. I do enjoy making my sonic and other character-themed crafts though!

Interesting coincidence...was just on reddit and found a pic of a bean that looks like a duck. http://i.imgur.com/I1P0ch2.jpg

Wait a minute....this donut has a hole in it! I want my money back!

Wow, I haven't kept up with the show and movies since the Shaymin/Giratina movie, but reading that song title, I kinda want to watch that movie now! Not because i hope it happens or anything, but it'd be nice if they changed it up and made something suspenseful like that happen! (trying to keep it spoiler-friendly by not saying it).

Which was your favourite Sonic Universe arc so far? (If you read it)
The_Duck replied to DarkPulseGirl's topic in Comics
One of my favorites was Treasure Team Tango of course, but I think everyone's said all that there is to be said about that. We all love Bean here. I also like the Silver arc, and the Secret Freedom (since #41 was the first issue I saw at the bookstore a few years ago, even though I never read it until recently, the cover was already nostalgic because I recognized it). Any story with Silver in it, I really like, because he's actually a really cool character in the comics. I don't know, I just feel like I can sort of relate to him. Just in the sense of being thrown into a terrible situation that isn't your fault. But they way he deals with things, and just his personality is cool. (I know, I'm bad at reviewing things, all I can say is "it's really cool!" lol). I also must say I liked the Eggman arc, because of how it really brought out what a bad guy he really is. Like, he's a REALLY bad guy. If you thought he was a joke before, this is where you get proven horribly wrong. It left me actually wondering how it would end, up until it did end, of course. Also gotta say I liked the Tails arc, because Tails Adventure is one of my favorite games. It's just a fun little game to go back and play every now and then, and so it was pretty cool seeing Speedy get some "screen time". And since that kind of led into the Babylon arc, I'll have to mention that too, because it was kinda cool, and threw me off seeing just how competent and scary Speedy's dad can be. Kinda like with Eggman, if you thought this guy was a joke because of how silly he looks, then you were wrong about him too. In short, my top favs would have to be Treasure Team Tango, Tails Adventure, and Secret Freedom Fighters. -
I don't know yet if I'm excited for Ruby/Sapphire remakes or not. On the one hand, I wish they'd quit doing remakes and make a new game or something, but on the other hand, I really miss secret bases the way they used to be. And even though I've been playing since Red and Blue, Ruby (or Emerald) was my favorite version, next to Silver. So maybe I'll still end up getting it. So anyone else have amazing luck with shinies on X/Y versions? I only used to have 3 shinies back in the day on my Silver version, (a Swinub, a Meowth two years later, and a Houndour the next night!). Then a few years later I got a Bidoof on Pearl, another couple years later and I got a Drowzee on Soul Silver. Replaying Ruby sometime after that, I found a shiny Spinda, and then an Onix (on Soul Silver again) a few months after that. Never found one on White, but on White 2, I got a shiny blue stripe Basculin while training a guy. And all of those were over the course of about 10 years. Just since playing X version, I've gotten about 10 MORE on top of those, the first being a Goomy. Later ones (some only days apart from eachother) included Haunter (who's now a shiny Mega Gengar!), Jigglypuff, Togepi, Foongus, Vanillite, Boldore, Wingull, Trevenant, Gulpin, and then ANOTHER Foongus! I've gotten too many, and now I don't even know what to do with them all! And that's not couning the shiny Scatterbug and Clauncher that I accidentally hatched! (The Clauncher was even on my birthday, so awesome accidental birthday present!) Anyway, I didn't mean to brag about my shinies, I just love talking about them. Well, especially the original 3. Because I had a Murkrow with me for the first 4 I caught anyway, so he's always been my lucky pokemon. And then when my battery died in my Silver version, it took my first 3 shinies with it :( so I decided to breed another shiny Houndour on X, and it took me a solid year. But i ended up hatching it on April 6th, the exact day that I caught the original, 11 years ago! So that was pretty cool. even made sure it was bred in a level ball, the same kind of ball I caught it in back then. Okay, I'm done rambling now.

Well, I actually had fun tonight! For once, I went and socialized with friends, and we hung out in the river until dark and watched the bats fly around and eat stuff. It was a nice night after all the recent stress!

Lol, ikr?!
Thanks, I've been doing nothing but work! They've increased my nights to 9 hours also, to make up for the business increase for the summer. So much work indeed!
-
Wow. Everytime I think things are going to get better, they don't. I sat in on court today to see what happened to the guy that hit me and ran in that accident a couple months ago, and they dismissed his case. He got of completely free. WTF America?!

Apparently because he had the letter from his insurance saying they didn't find him at fault. They said it was standard policy in that situation to dismiss the case as long as they have that letter. Even though it was a hit-and-run. So very unfair.

Happy Birthday Sonic! Thanks for making my childhood awesome! And for being a loveable, over-optimistic jerk whose attitude has helped me through many rough patches. We all love you!
