I guess I'm long overdue for another post, huh? Jeeze, 11 days. Haven't gone that long since......well, I don't think I ever have gone this long without an update. I'm sure you know one primary reason why I've been gone for so long, too;). Brawl is pretty f*cking insane as far as a video game goes. It seems like this game has everything and a bag of Chex Mix. Instead of writing long, tedius paragraphs about the game, I'll share my pros and cons in bullet form (despite being almost a week late for Brawl impressions:P ):

Pros:

--No character is really a clone in the game because there is always something completely different with each character. Take Ganondorf for example. He has always been considered a bigger and slower clone of Captain Falcon. Well, his side + B move will tell you otherwise;). Plus, the final smashes are different for both characters. Probably the only characters that are the closest clones are all of the Starfox characters, but that's no big deal.

--Don't listen to critics when they say that the single player mode is repetitious and boring. It's not. It is awesome, being able to see all of your favorite Nintendo characters collaborate in a huge adventure.

--Instead of one taunt, there are three taunts for each character.

--The coin launcher is a huge improvement from the crappy lottery in Melee in order to obtain trophies. It even gets addictive.

--Jigglypuff ROXXORZ!!!!

--MASTER HAND IS ACTUALLY A PLAYABLE, HIDDEN CHARACTER!!!!!!!!! Just kidding:P.

--There are a crapload of modes to keep you busy for a long time.

--This is the first time I have ever been concerned over the music in a game (unless it's licensed, like in GTA). Recognizing tunes from the Delfino Plaza tune in Super Mario Sunshine, to the Gerudo Valley theme in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, to friggin Sonic Boom from Sonic CD, to EVEN THE WII SHOP CHANNEL MUSIC, is pretty awesome. In fact, when I created a stage in the stage creator, I used the Wii Shop Channel music for the level just to see what it was like. It was very unique:P.

Unfortunately, cons:

--THE ONLINE MODE NEEDS TO BE FIXED:evil:. I'm sick of the lagging. Seriously, my friend and I were playing each other one night, and we just started joking around about how ridiculous our characters looked and what it looked like they were doing because the lag was so bad. It turned a 2 minute match turn into a 30 minute lagfest. Also, how come half the time, I can't find anyone to play on the "With Anyone" mode? And I've tried the team match mode, but I've never gotten that to work yet.

--The target and cl@$$ic modes are disappointments. Instead of each character getting their own unique target smash stage like in Melee, there are 5 difficulty levels of the same target smash for every character. As far as the cl@$$ic mode goes, it is no longer random. It seems to follow a certain order now, which takes away the surprise:(. Gone are the extra bonus stages such as the trophy snatching and racing to the finish stages, too.

--The stage creator is bland and frustrating. If you place a major piece on the stage, you're pretty much screwed over for placing other pieces next to it, since it takes up more room than it should.

--Some of the new stages are annoying as hell. For example, like a lot of people, I absolutely HATE the new Donkey Kong Rumble Falls stage. The way it scrolls is a nuisance. But what can you expect? It's a crappy Donkey Kong stage taken from a crappy Donkey Kong game for the Gamecube.

--The shooting mini game at the end credits screen has been downgraded a bit, and isn't 3d like in Melee. It also doesn't tell all of the people that worked on the game, and instead, lists all of the trophies, characters, Pokemon, and assist trophies. However, it does award you coins this time around, so that's a plus.

I could tell more details, but I'm sure most of you people interested in, or have played, Brawl already know the rest. Interestingly enough, I decided to make Jigglypuff my main, and I've been trying to master him the best I can. People usually view him (or her, whichever you prefer:P ) as the underdog and a filler character in the Smash Bros. games, but I want to become good with him. His down special is pretty devastating, but I still don't know how to exactly use it. So, once again, here's my code in case anyone wants a good match (I'm looking at you, VGK:evil: ): 0001-2985-1037. I also play as Snake, too, so you might get lucky and I'll use a character that you consider "good" when I fight you:P. Anyways, Brawl isn't the best game I've ever played, but it's probably the best game I've played since Resident Evil 4. It truly is THE best Wii game yet.

Moving on, since I'm sure some of you are sick of the buzz surrounding the best selling Wii game. Another reason I haven't been on here is school. I'm trying to get my senior project finished once and for all, so that's what's mostly been taking up my time. I've also had other sh*t to do (mostly English stuff:roll: ), so I've been pretty occupied. Being a senior is a b*tch, but I've already stated that before, so no need to be repetitious.

But I've also made a new best friend, too. Remember when I said that there was this crazy girl that went with Anony Miss and I to Snowcoming? Well, it seems like I've been hanging out with her more and more. It's nice to actually have someone who wants to hang out with me all the time. However, I am NOT attracted to this girl or anything, so don't get any ideas:evil:. We're just good friends. Besides, she's too insane to be my type anyways:P. I mean, we went to Wal-Mart on Saturday night last weekend, and she was singing, cussing, and saying stuff that's on her mind right in front of people, like she didn't give a sh*t:lol:. I was waiting for somebody to complain, but I'm surprised nobody did. It was extremely funny:lol:. Speaking of Anony Miss, though, each time I try to talk to her or ask her to hang out with me, it seems like she's always busy hanging out with some other friend or something to that extent:(. And here I'm going to be taking her to prom. How can I take someone to prom without first hanging out with them a lot before that? Oh well, maybe this weekend.

This weekend is Easter weekend for those who live under a box buried under a boulder in a dark cave on a distant planet. It's weird, because I only have a 4 day weekend. I usually have a full spring break when Easter comes around, but this time, they are separate. I think it was this way last year as well, but I can't remember. I don't think I'm doing anything other than staying home on Easter, playing Brawl or something. But tomorrow I have a birthday party to go to, so I'll be out of the house. I also have to finish up getting my hours for my senior project, so I'm going to try and do some more volunteer work and try to find some documentaries that have to do with my subject. If anyone knows of any documentaries that have anything to do with post-traumatic stress disorder, or war veterans that go through combat trauma, give me some suggestions. I'll be very thankful, because right now, I'm having a hard time:(.

Have a wonderful Easter everyone, and I'll hopefully see you next week sometime:).

Oh, one last thing before I go. I have to share this wonderful dance number to everyone. And be sure to read the comments as well. Apparently, Mr. Happy is VEWY WOVABLE by some of the people who commented:P.
