Hi the title has nothing to do with anything haha sorry Kyouhei my man

  You should all go look at the BW2 quiz book I swear this dude is seriously so ridiculous

 Is everyone ready for the summer? Is someone already in summer? Are you in the state of being summer? Maybe you should try to achieve the state of Yo.


  Isn't summer so great? I'll soon be able to lay around and sleep in without nasty repercussions! Fabulous. Also, I recently bought animal crossing new leaf! If anyone still even looks at this site and has it as well, then we can exchange friendcodes!! Hooray!


  That's all I want to write. Be ready for when I get Silver because you're in for some crazy stuff. See ya!

I fricking hate colds. Bloody things mess around with my nose and cause me to rub it nearly off! I might as well cover my resident sniffer with chapstick and call it a day ( I've heard that actually works. As a kid I had always wondered if it did...). That's not what this post is about, but I just needed something to complain about as per the usual.

  Some of you have probably wondered why sometimes I choose to reply to your posts under the pseudonym " Pino". Like, we all probably know why I comment under Oliver ( My unhealthy obsession with Oliver from Ni No Kuni.), but why Pino? What, am I a Pinocchio fan or something? That's a very keen observation, considering there's a game I adore that takes the basic idea for Pinocchio called Wonder Project J. Wonder Project is an SNES-based Life Simulator where you have to teach this Gijin ( the game's name for the robots that inhabit Corlo Island, where the game takes place.) child what it is to be human. However, in the words of TV Tropes: "But then the boy starts kicking your dog, eating plates of food whole, and worshiping gardening tools." It's both frustrating and funny at the same time, and they get you really attached to the little guy ( Whose default name is Pino, but you can name him anything you want, even 'asshole' or 'Jerk' if you so desire.). Also, you might like that you're dealing with this:

... Yeah. But fear not, as if you pay close enough attention to what stats rise and fall, it's not really that difficult. Did I forget to say that Pino acts on his own free will? Because he does, which is AMAZING!

  My nose is still really runny and I suck at explaining how great this game is so here's a review I found extremely entertaining.

  Although the game was never released here in English, there is a very professional translation out there somewhere ( Which I have on my PSP because I can.). You'll have to look for it yourself, though, because it would be mean to the creators of the game to link you to it.

  P.S. Pino's adorable. I mean, look!

  Frightening! Anyway, hello there! How long's it been since I last posted? A day? A week? I forget now... hah...

  That aside, I am positively elated! Why, you ask ( Or possibly don't, sorry)? It is because I just secured the chances of me getting a PS3 for graduation to eleventh! How cool is that? I love my dad. The reason why I would want a system such as that is because a year ago or so, a game came out that I had previously heard about as looking 'kinda like Mother 3/Earthbound'; except that was the ROID version of the game, and the PS3 is not whatever that is, that's for sure. I don't even remember whether or not the ROID thing came off that well because I haven't heard a word of it since then, and every time I look it up I get steroids instead. Anyway, this is a picture of it from a while back when it was still in development:

  Look vaguely familiar to some of you?
  I'm sure a bunch of you would know what game I'm talking about if I said the name, but maybe you already know, because 'PS3' definitely narrows it down, doesn't it?

  It's... (drumroll) ... (drum).... (roll)... (Okay I'll stop)...

  ---Ni No Kuni! Hooraaaay! 

  I bet a bunch of you are slapping your knees all like, 'I KNEW it!' or something. I am in love with a classic-style JRPG; don't see that every day, do ya? (laugh)

  Anyway, as you all do not know, I have looked far and wide for good RPGs to play, and NNK is the closest I'll ever get to my ideal RPG: Good storyline, fantastic battle system, great music ( done by Joe Hisaishi, might I add.) , Studio Ghibli, Level 5 ( if any of you have played Professor Layton, you know them.), 349 page grimoire full of lore, a bestiary, old language, and spells; an entire sprawling overworld, great CG backgrounds, and MONSTER CATCHING!!! It's my dream come true!! I mean, lookit this!

  That's absolutely sensational! All that detail in one shot, and in 3D! The characters are pretty cute too ( That's also part of the reason I want the game, of course; can't forget the adorable 13-year-old boys and fairies... eheh... oh lordy I sound like a creep...)! It's also got sort of a dark undertone, from what I've seen ( animals swallowing swords and armor for stat boosts, anyone? Sorry for so many bracket comments...), so it's all pretty great.

  There's also a DS version of the game, which this is actually a remake of, but there were problems translating the double-screen wonder, so it's only in Japanese so I can't really play it.... I have tried though, using a PDF of the magic book and a ROM file, but still no dice. I like the PS3 version better anyway, despite all the beautiful drawn backgrounds in the DS version... sob...

  Can't wait to catch 'em all in Ni No Kuni this summer!

Okay so I actually have no idea what to write but whatever (laugh).

  I am eating cookies in class; screw the rules ( I've been eating in class for the entire semester so far because Mrs. Wood doesn't get mad at me for it.) And now I'm attempting to peel a giant orange. Crazy.

  Apples just weren't good enough today ( that would be funnier if I could actually say that to your faces.). Except I'd rather choke on apple slices than orange ones.

  Anyway, yesterday, I watched the movie this beautiful island is from with my father: 

Laputa: Castle In The Sky, one of my absolute favourite movies. Nothing beats the great idea of a giant island in the sky, with over a hundred years of ancient Laputan history! Oh, how I wish it were real... This movie is one of the greater parts of my early childhood, watching it with parents, cousins, friends... starting up my love of all things related to the sky and flying (along with Kiki's Delivery Service, another great one!). Anyway, my dad liked it too, it seems.

  Last night, I became very interested in the supposed 'Laputan Language' on the monument in this shot:

Look at that! Don't the etchings look like they would make for really neat of a language? So, it inspired me to write up my own characters ( sorta, it's still like Skyward Sword Hylian; different characters for the same English alphabet.), 'cause I couldn't even find a fan-made script for Laputan! It was really fun to make my own, though! Now I just need to memorize it! 

  Orange juice is squirting outta my mouth on accident now, so it's time I stopped. Bye!

Also, I hate oranges. Don't ask why I'd eat them if I hate them.

So yesterday, I asked my mom to play on her ipad as I was sitting with her on the family room couch.

  And as I went through her already downloaded app I asked her if I could download one I had seen before that I thought was really cute: LINE Play. She said yes, and we got it ( It's FREE, get it.).

  I really enjoy it so far. If you have it, my name on it is Baron. I don't have our iPad with me right now so I can't find my friend code.

  A good song by the Sheepdogs, but that's besides the point.

  You know how occasionally I post about my love for the series Detective Conan? This is one of those, but focused on the soundtrack albums. I have downloaded a few of them myself; Super Best, Super Best 2, both the discs for Selection Best, and a few opening/ending songs. I never get tired of them. A lot of the songs are very saxxy (see what I did there?) and calm for a mystery series, and they fit every scene perfectly! The song that usually plays when a culprit confesses? Spot on with the mood. The song that represents the moments of suspicion and tension? Perfect. Conan and Ran's themes? Pretty great. 'The Great Detective of The West'? It really fits the character it's used for! I was actually just listening to that one. Also, if we're talking Openings and Endings, Nazo ( Mystery) by Miho Komatsu and STEP BY STEP from Ziggy are my current favourites. Gotta keep taking sips of those lukewarm teas (ugh.)! Too bad I forgot to download the full version of STEP BY STEP... I wonder if Soundcloud does downloads... Ha! It does! Eureka! ( at least, it has a third party download site.)

  Katsuo Ohno band ( the ones behind the BGM in the anime) is so good.
