Here I am, at home early Saturday morning, serving up another slice of harmless fan fiction. It’s another drabble for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, entitled See? She Likes You, co-starring everybody’s favorite destructo-loli’s sidekick’s half-dog familiar, Arf!
It’s a good thing I had stashed away a bunch of NeoPoints in my first two weeks back on Neopets, but really…there’s no reason that it should cost more than 3,000 NP to find a cure for a fictional disease for my even more fictional virtual pet. I had to empty my savings account to take care of this one. Lesson learned? Stay the hell away from the Wheel of Knowledge in Faerieland unless you’ve got 10,000+ NP saved up. Player shopkeepers can be very demanding, and the hospital didn’t have the item I needed to save my Zafara from certain death (Neopets do die, don’t they?)
That’s two Retro Game Challenge guides down, six more to go. Last night, I finished one for Robot Ninja Haggle Man (yes, I know the hero’s got a bizarre name, but old NES games had weird translations like that back in the day; the title of this post comes from one such “Engrish” line in the game). The next guide I release will be for Rally King, a top-down racing game. I probably won’t have it ready until next week, though.
My brother’s trying to push me toward playing The Eye of Judgment, as it’s something that would finally give me a second use for my PlayStation Eye camera. Getting the game is relatively easy…I found a used copy of it at the Upper Darby GameStop for $25. Getting the cards, on the other hand, may be an adventure.
# Has anyone else been having trouble accessing Destructoid and/or Neoseeker over the past two weeks? I’ve tried accessing both sites repeatedly, but haven’t been able to get through to them at all.
# Last night, my Street Fighter IV Battle Point score plummeted from a just-barely-in-the-door 107 to zero, putting me at the bottom of the ladder once again.
