'cause ya know, the hype wasn't already enough

You may know that I play Pokemon.

I think I've only mentioned it once, when I said that I had been playing Pokemon Showdown a lot (online battle simulator, helps test teams: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/), but other than that, I don't think I've talked about it much.

Well.

I play Pokemon.

The next Pokemon games are coming out this November, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, which are actually remakes of older games. The originals had a Pokemon called Rayquaza in it, who was frickin' awesome:

Just look at him! He's a... green snake-dragon that lives in the sky! And protects the world from destruction!

but

in OR/AS

he

just

got

revamped

HWAAAAHH MEGA RAYQUAZA

seriously. look at that BEAST.

Guys

guess what

I can't wait for the new pokemon games

Please don't think I'm completely insane.

:D

Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy

Second movie review post! I'll be doing this sometimes, in case you haven't noticed.
So on Friday I went with my dad to see

Ick, it's kinda small. Anyway, I went with my dad to see Guardians of the Galaxy this most recent Friday. It was... how should I put this?
If you took all the awesome implicated in the song "Everything is Awesome" from the Lego Movie and compared it to the awesome in this movie, the movie would still have more awesome. Just think about that for a second. All of the awesome from every awesome thing in universe, which is everything, all condensed into one great pile of awesome, and Guardians of the Galaxy still has a greater pile of awesome.
Oh my gosh, I loved it.
I do want to say, however, that I had no previous experience with the Guardians, so my dad (which I think did, but I'm not sure, but it's Marvel, so I think he did, but I'm not sure) probably has a better review of it. I can't judge it accurately at all on how good of an adaptation it was, but it sure was an excellent, excellent movie.
I don't know what there is to say. The humor was awesome; the action was awesome; the characters were awesome; heck, even the stupid was awesome. Even the awesome that those things were made of was awesome.
No one is ever going to want to say the word "awesome" ever again after they read this post. No matter... on with more awesome!

And you know what? Screw all the rules of existence, this movie was perfect. Five and a half stars out of five. That's right. I went there.

Sorry for the short post today. There's not really much else I can say about the movie, other than that it's awesome. There should be another post up on... someday this week. The specific day remains to be seen.

Games I like: Spore

Written by Phillip

Ah! This game.

Does anyone still play this game?

Well, I do. I guess some people do, sometimes. Otherwise creations wouldn't still be popping up in the Sporepedia all the time.

I guess I can't just keep rambling on without an explanation for those who don't know what this is. I'll give you two options: one, just go here for the official site if you don't want my <sarcasm> totally professional perfect explanation </sarcasm>, or just read.

So. This game is an evolution-style simulator game, where you create life with creature building tools and can create anything from

...whatever the heck that is

to

THAT

LOOK AT THAT

DANG

WOW

Maxis, you good.

Anyway, in the game you progress through five stages of life, which are:

The Cell Stage

Basically, you're a little microorganism swimming around in the ocean fighting to survive. Before the game starts, you choose to be a carnivore or an herbivore (and later you can become and omnivore, by adding the mouth opposite of what you chose or the omnivore mouth later), which effects the way you play the whole rest of the game.

The Creature Stage

Here's where things really start happening. You've reached land and grown some legs, and now it's time whether to kill everything in your path, make friends with everything in your path, or do a little bit of both at everything in your path. You'll encounter hundreds of other creatures, whether you or other players made them or they came with the game.

The Tribal Stage

The principals are the same as in Creature Stage, but now you have a whole tribe to command. Gather food, kill enemies, make friends with enemies, so long as you survive and ally or conquer everyone else.

The Civilization Stage

Well, the images just keep getting bigger and bigger, don't they?

Now you've got an entire city to take care of. You can build houses, entertainment halls, some strange place where you actually get work done, airplanes, boats, cars, you name it! Well, except for one thing... but that comes later.

The Space Stage

Ooh, there goes the size.

Yep. You're in space now.

Remember how I was talking about later a bit ago? Now is later.

You can build spaceships.

Conquer the galaxy. Get to the center. Fend off the Grox. Don't destroy them because then they'll never be present in any more of your games because of a glitch. Find some odd blue-green planet for sale.

I love this game.

Who knows, maybe when I buy it again soon, I'll do a psuedo-let's play thing here...
