Weekly Update: March 14, 2011

Sorry about the past two weeks. Didn't have internet for half of last week. (Had to use school's).

The Lyrical OC I said I'd try to get out by the 22nd is being delayed (big shock). I'm having problems writing the lyrics and getting the music to sound just right. If I had Evolution, this process would be tremendously faster. Oh well.

Johto Minecraft

Haven't played Minecraft in a while. Been busy playing a variety of games, old and new.

Other

Having roommate problems. As I said, the internet in our apartment was shut off due to it not being paid for a long time. The roommate that checks it hadn't checked in the past three months. It doesn't help that he was broke as well.

Another roommate is flat broke as well, and he doesn't have a job or go to school. So he sits at home basically every day.

My final roommate has a job, has school, and can make payments, but there is no way the two of us can cover double rent if it comes to it. It's all getting a little hectic.

Hopefully you enjoy!
See you next Monday! (Promise)

All right. I've made my mind up.

I am going to try and get an MPC out by the 22nd of March. That gives me about a month. I'll try really hard.

It's going to be an OC as well. 90% chance it's a Lyrical.

Johto Minecraft

Didn't really get a chance to play it. I was playing a different game, which is...

Other

999: Nine Persons, Nine Hours, Nine Doors

Amazing game. Multiple endings, story over gameplay (though not saying that the gameplay sucks; it doesn't), interesting characters, and sets a mood that won't break until at least a week after you beat one of the endings. I still feel like playing it right now, and I've gotten all the endings.

Started up Hotel Dusk. Heard nothing but good things about it, and it's kind of like Ace Attorney and 999. So far, I like it. Hasn't really built up yet, but the characters are enjoyable so far.

Had a snow day today. First one in about two years. Took some time to play some video games and finish up some homework. Pretty uneventful day but fun overall.

Oh, and I had to shovel out my car. And my roommate's. And my friend's. And to be nice, some random person's car who parked next to me. :P

I opened MPC over the week, so that was a start.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to work on ANYTHING. I feel like a failure. ;-; I'm trying to get a song I really want to do.

Johto Minecraft

Nope...

;-;

Other

Instead of playing MPC or MineCraft, I played Metroid Prime and it's sequel. I even 100% item'd both (I got 100% scans in Echoes as well). I don't have a Wii, but my roommate does, and one of our friends has agreed to lend us Corruption. I'm on a little "Metroid" addiction right now.

School started back up, and to combat what happened last quarter, I unhooked my 360 and swore to NOT play it.

Once again, I didn't get a chance to play w/ MPC over the past week; finals in my classes. I have this week off, however, so I'll try to get something done.

Johto Minecraft

Once again, I didn't get a chance to...hey. This looks familiar...

Other

Like I said, finals all last week. Overall, I'm very disappointed in how I did overall. Too little time to accomplish all that I needed to, and I suffered from it. Oh well. It's too late to change any of that. Only to improve on next quarter.

Didn't get a chance to play around with it over the weekend, as I was extremely busy. I will have plenty of time next week however, as I have that week off from school.

Johto Minecraft

Doesn't show what I've done of Kanto. Branching off from Viridian, I went all the way to Pewter north and all the way to Fuchsia from the south. They'll connect eventually.

Other

I went to the concert on Friday. The first opening band was okay. Not really my style of music. However, the second band caught me by surprise, as I had never heard any of their music, but I was throughly impressed.

I was an overall fun experience. Shame it's already over.

Weekly Update: January 24, 2011

I didn't forget the past two weeks. I was just on winter break.

...wait...

Mario Paint Composer

I tinkered with Mario Paint over the past two weeks. I am part of the upcoming Community OC, and I finished my part last Thursday. I'm not particularly proud of it, but I"m comparing my part with MPCers who use the original soundfont a lot more than I do.

I'm still trying to find a song to do. I should have some free time once my quarter ends.

Johto Minecraft

I FINALLY moved onto Kanto. Viridian is done, along with Route 1 and most of Pallet Town. Kanto is a little more "flatter" than Johto, mostly because Kanto has no tall trees. Oh well.

Other

I've started a Let's Play, but it's already suffered a setback. Apparently people want audio commentary instead of annotation commentary, so I need to get a mic so I can do commentary. Part 2 won't be coming out this week, but hopefully I can get it out by next week. I plan on recording a LOT over my week break, which is in the next two weeks.

Linkin Park concert this Friday. Got my tickets for it in November. I am so EXCITED. :D

I didn't forget the past two weeks. I was just on winter break.

(Yeah...that'll work...)

Mario Paint Composer

I haven't had a chance to tinker around with it over the long break; there were many other games I had gotten and devoted time to. I know, how bad of me ;-;

Other

As I stated, winter break, Christmas, and New Years over the past two weeks. One of my favorite moments every year. Went up to Bemidji and had a very fun time.

Johto Minecraft suffered a large setback with the introduction of Beta, reaulting in the reintroduction of leaf decay. Most of the western half lost all the leaves that they had, which meant a lot of rebuilding. It's complete now, so I can FINALLY move on to Kanto.
