Today I completed the second chapter of the Wasteland Survival Guide in Fallout 3. And while I was working on that, I escorted that Cherry character to Rivet City. The weird thing was, when I went back to Dukov's Place, she was there. How did she get there before I did? I mean, yeah, I walked the entire way back. But if she was so adamant about going to Rivet City, why did she go back to Dukov's? Oh well. I read that she is possibly needed for a quest. I just completed that one part before the actual quest began.
And then in Birth By Sleep, I completed the Cinderella world. Actually, I should say completed it. After all, I will probably be going back there at some time. Anyway, I defeated the boss that was controlling the instruments. And now I am in outer space waiting to go to the next world.
I also practiced some today for the osu! Tournament. The registration deadline has been shortened due to the amount of participants. So, if you are still considering joining, you have until November 30, 2013 to enter. There are now 100 players in the Expert tournament, which is why the deadline has been moved up. Both the Beginner and Intermediate Tournament don't even have 1/10th that amount. Anyway, I need to start practicing more each day if I am going to have any sort of chance.
Well, that's all from me. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 146: A Terra-ble time.
The game that kept my interest today was Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. I was working on the Sleeping Beauty world today. The battles are very fast-paced. I had some trouble at first with using the directional buttons to change what special attacks and spells I wanted to use. I sometimes used Potions when I didn't need to. Other than that, it was fine. I like the sticker book, and how you can meld two abilities together to make a whole new ability.
I guess the story is okay, too. I am still getting acquainted with people that aren't Sora, so everything seems like it's not a Kingdom Hearts game. It just feels weird, playing as Terra.
I also played some Fallout 3 today. I am working on a few side quests to gain experience and raise my Level. Right now, I am at Level 4, and I just finished the quest at Arefu.
And I practiced some more for the Osu! tournament. There are now 5 players in my category, so the pressure to do well is increasing. There's still more than two weeks before sign-ups close, so feel free to join!
Well, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 144: Duodecim initial thoughts
The only gaming I did today was when I was waiting today. Waiting for the newspapers to show up. Waiting for someone to come to the office so I could get my check. Just waiting. And the game I played while I was doing all this waiting was Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. This entry will about my thoughts on what I've played so far.
I like how there's a World Map. I don't like having to play as Lightning. I like the Assist thing they added to the game. I don't like how Kain is a stupid jerk face and attacked Bartz. I like how I don't get punished for going after every treasure chest.
And that's pretty much it. I am stuck at the battle against Kain. He's so tough, and Lightning is so weak. Why couldn't I play as someone else instead of stupid Lightning. Just because she's the mascot of the franchise right now, I shouldn't be forced to play as her in every game.
In other news, I am seriously considering pre-ordering Lightning Returns. And the HD version of Final Fantasy X/X-2. Yes, I have already have the PS2 versions of X and X-2, but it would still be nice to have this new version. I want to finally experience the Dark Aeons and Final Mission and stuff the North American audience didn't get to see. And getting Lightning Returns just makes sense because I have the first two games. Why not complete the collection?
I have a wireless mouse now for my computer. I will be getting used to it in preparation for the Osu! tournament. And it will take a lot of getting used to. It's smaller than my old mouse. But I have a few weeks yet before the tournament, so there's plenty of time. And if it doesn't work out, I always have my other mouse.
Well, that's all for this entry. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Days 142 and 143: Slumber
I had planned on post an entry yesterday, but I fell asleep. I guess all the weirdness in my sleep pattern finally caught up with me, and conked out on the couch by the fire. And then when I woke up, it was 7am and I just said that I'd just post one this evening to make up for it.
So, yesterday I worked some more on Tomb Raider, I am at Midas Palace right now. I have one of the lead bars needed to progress to the next area. I hate this area, because I always get lost. I remember back when I first reached this area, I found it so funny to stand up on Midas' hand, and be turned to gold. The sad thing is, I thought that first time it happened that I was meant to stand on the hand. And I learned quickly that I was not supposed to do that.
I also sent a message to the Osu! tournament organizer about my recent rank improvement. And I am clear to compete in the Beginner Tournament despite having a rank that would qualify me in the Advanced Tournament. This is great, because I'd have no chance at all if I had to compete at the Advanced level. I haven't had any training sessions with my training partner at all this week. And now that there are 4 players competing in the Beginner Tournament, there's going to be more pressure in playing well. Anyway, the deadline for signing up is still December 8, 2013; so there's a chance to have even more people join.
Now for today. Today I started yet another Fallout 3 Game file. I am horrible with keeping up a single file of Bethesda games. They are just so good at the beginning when I am making my character how I want it to be, but then actually going forth into the world with the character is not something I feel like doing. So, I need to be committed with my choices and finish the main story of this game.
In Final Fantasy XIII-2, I had to go online and look up information on Wild Artefact locations, because I couldn't advance. But now I have gotten a different timeline for Academia. And then I mastered all of the Brain Blast questions...with some help. The questions were mostly easy for me to answer. I didn't like the "Red or Black" and "Odd or Even" questions. And how was I supposed to know about some obscure person in a time that I haven't learned about. I think the game was expecting you to do these things multiple times to get all of the correct answers. Well, I had no time for that, and so I looked online for the answers to some of them.
I cleared another stage of the chapter in Dissidia Final Fantasy after Cosmos "dies". It took some luck (well, a lot of luck), but I am now at the stage where there is an boss enemy and the insignia. It's the boss that comes after Kefka. I haven't scanned the area yet to see how it is. But I do know that there are three enemies blocking me from even advancing two squares.
Well, that's all for this double day entry. So, for the coming day(s), enjoy the games you play!

Day 140: I Mojave good day!
The one game I played today was Fallout: New Vegas. And I was starting to have bad memories flash in my mind while playing. You see, I grew up in Arizona. And gila monsters were a common sight when I was little. I was so afraid of them. Though they are slow and I was never bitten by one, I never really got over it. Moving to Ohio allowed me to bury this fear.
But now there are creatures in the game that remind me of those days. And on top of that, they are much bigger, and chase me at high speeds. Surprisingly, killing the monsters in the game doesn't help. The only reason I don't just run away from them in the game is because I get experience points. Doing that in real life won't work, because they are a protected species.
Oh well. I will just have to deal with it.
It has been suggested to do away with the tournament I am in for Osu!. Someone said that it would be boring if there is only two people entered. Registration for the tournament ends on December 8, 2013, and someone is already suggesting to get rid of my category! So, I responded, saying that instead of trying to get rid of it, the person should use their pull to help advertise and get more people to join. So far, there hasn't been any response from that person. But just so you know, the person who suggested it was just another contestant in the tournament (Expert League).
It's people like that show I can't stand. They think that just because they are so good at something, then other people shouldn't even be given a chance to do it as well. So what if there are only two people in my category. That person is probably just afraid of losing against one of the nearly 80 players in his league, that he wants more prizes to be given out for his league.
The prizes are something I haven't mentioned yet. Well, the winner of the Beginner League gets one month of supporter status, which is so cool! Faster beatmap downloading times and a special tag for the user. And for the Expert League, the person who comes in last place gets supporter status as well.
Anyway, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 139: Raiding Again
I have made it to the Coliseum in Tomb Raider. I am almost to the point in the game where I have always become bored with the game and just stopped playing. But I haven't gotten to the part yet, and I hope I can power through it and finish the game. I don't even know how long this game is.
Anyway, I had to stop playing because I change the brightness of my screen I have connected to the PS2. Before I continue playing, I will switch it over to one of the other TVs in the house. We have nine television sets in the house, but only four get used on a somewhat regular basis. One of the things you deal with when you live in a house that at one time had five people living in it, and now only two people live there.
In other news, I think I will have to get a new mouse for my computer. Especially if I am going to have as good a chance at competing in any Osu! tournaments. My mouse has been acting as if it's not connected all the time, and sometimes will stop scrolling and stuff. When I play, it will drop the track and make me lose the combo. I have tried pressing the button harder, thinking that may help, but it isn't.
If I am going to get a new mouse, I will have to do it soon. That way it will give me enough time to get used to it before the tournament.
Well, that's about it for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 138: Raiding Tombs
I began playing Tomb Raider today. It is just how I remembered playing it back when I bought it. It was one of the first games that I bought myself. I've had it for so long, and yet I never finished it. Back then, I didn't see the appeal to it, and I found it to be boring. Now, I still don't see what's so great about it. Maybe it's just that you are playing as a woman? Probably.
Anyway, I have gotten through the first two areas. I know, it's not much, but it's a start. I didn't want to get bored of the game and not finish it again, so I am pacing myself. A level or two each day should fine.
And then throughout the day I practiced for the Osu! tournament. I am slowly getting better at the maps. If I can just raise the consistency with my scores, I will have a good chance to win. The advantage I have right now is that I rarely play with mods on. Yeah, my scores are naturally lower because I don't make the maps more difficult, but most people always play with mods, and then that's the only way they can play. They find normal play difficult, because everything is always super fast. My training partner tends to play maps with double speed. That's good for him overall, but the tournament doesn't allow mods. That's where I'll excel.
The tournament itself has seen a lot of people applying to participate. So far, there are 2 in Beginner League, 1 in Intermediate, 8 in Advanced, and 65 in Expert. I still perform the newest maps to help get more performance points. Though I technically don't have to, I may ask to be moved up to the Intermediate League because of my ranking. However, that could prove to be bad, because it means I have to learn 15 new maps. Maybe I won't.
Well, that's all for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 135: Counting Down...
After this entry, there will only be 49 days left in the year. This also means that I only have 49 days to finish the challenge, or get as close to completion as possible. Either way, it also means that this blog will be finished in 49 days. And that's probably worse than not completing the challenge.
Anyway...
Today I continued the main storyline of Fallout 3. I am now on my way to Rivet City, which is someplace I have never been to in my previous attempts at playing this game.
And I also completed a few more missions in Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core. I haven't continued its main story in a few days now.
And finally, I had my first training session with a fellow participant in the Osu! Challengers Beginners League Tournament. I learned that even if there are only two people in the Beginner's League, I will still have my work cut out for me if I am going to win. During our training, I lost every time I think. I may have won once. I will have to keep practicing if I am going to win.
Well, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 134: They don't match! Go Fish!
Okay, let's say you buy a video game. On your home, you are looking at the case and the manual (if it comes with a manual - stupid green initiative) and you are imagining the main character. How he battles, walks, interacts with others. But most importantly, the way he talks. You finally get the game home and you turn it on. The main character opens his mouth, and it is NOTHING like how you imagined it.
Well, that is how it is with me and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. Zack's voice is nothing like how I imagined it. I was expecting a deeper voice with some power to it. And I got a boyish voice instead. If I hadn't been sitting down, I probably would have fallen from the shock of disappointment.
Oh well, I guess I have to live with it. I can't return a video game because the main character's voice doesn't match the way he looks.
I am entering an osu!standard tournament! Here's a link with the information:
Osu! Challengers Tournament
Anyway, we really need more people to apply for participation, especially in the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. There's also an Expert level, and there have been 26 entrants to sign up. The level I am in (Beginner) only has two entrants, me and someone else. So, please, sign up and play Osu! with us.
And with that, we have come to the end of this entry. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 132: Connecting the Device
First, I will update you on the recent matches at the Osu! World Cup.
I am really good at guessing who is going to win the matches. So far, I have earned 1,950 points out of 2,500 in the little side game that goes along with the actual matches. There were a few technical problems today that delayed some matches, and two were even postponed. Anyway, if everything gets taken care of with the program, I expect another full day of matches to keep me entertained.
While I was waiting for the matches to start, I would play Dissidia Final Fantasy. I managed to finish Cecil's, Tidus's, and Firion's Odysseys. Rather than move on to one of the other characters' Odysseys, I felt brave and began to challenge the next stage of the game. This is when Cosmos "dies" and the world becomes filled with darkness, and it is up to the heroes to save it (I think). I mean, it doesn't seem like it was saved because there is a sequel. But anyway, I chose to do Chapter 1 with Tidus. His character is one I feel most comfortable with using in the battles compared to Firion, Cecil, and Cloud.
I finally figured out how to connect my PSP with PSN, so now I can download games for the PSP. But you can be assured that I won't be buying any games for it. Because then it adds even more to the list. Speaking of which, my copy of Fallout: New Vegas should be here in the next few days.
Well, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 131: I hate you, Cecil! That's why I never finished your game!
My PSP arrived today in the mail. And the first game I am playing with it is Dissidia: Final Fantasy. I tried them all to make sure they work, but Dissidia is the one I was looking forward to playing the most after reading the manuals. I have already finished the Cloud's bit of the story. The difficulty was only 1-Star, and since I am new to the game I figured I'd start out simple. And I didn't have any problems with it. Even the battle against Sephiroth was easy.
And then I moved on to Cecil's story. Though it is also a 1-Star difficulty, it feels like 6-Stars. I have had nothing but difficult battles. I gave up after fighting fake Sephiroth. I tried over and over, which was really bad, because it lowers my Story Points for the level each time I retry. In the end, I gave up and took a Destiny Point deduction, which totally killed the mood. So I ended up not saving and have to do all of Cecil's story over, I think. If you had been within 100 feet of my house, you probably would have heard me yelling something along the lines of "Cecil, I hate you! You suck! You're the reason I never finished Final Fantasy IV! No one likes you!" or "Sephiroth you jerk! Stop hitting me, you stupid meanie! You are the reason why I never finished Final Fantasy VII! I hope you die!" You know, normal rage phrases like that.
As for the other games, I have played them all enough to get to the first Save Point. Crisis Core seems fun, as does Dissidia 012 (and why wouldn't it). Birth by Sleep I am not sure about. That one will have to wait until I get further along in Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix before I take more of an interest right now.
In other gaming news, the Osu! World Cup started today. I managed to watch every match except the first one, which was Taiwan against Indonesia. Here's a rundown of the results so far:

And then I moved on to Cecil's story. Though it is also a 1-Star difficulty, it feels like 6-Stars. I have had nothing but difficult battles. I gave up after fighting fake Sephiroth. I tried over and over, which was really bad, because it lowers my Story Points for the level each time I retry. In the end, I gave up and took a Destiny Point deduction, which totally killed the mood. So I ended up not saving and have to do all of Cecil's story over, I think.

Germany - 4 vs. Brazil - 1

Indonesia - 4 vs. Venezuela - 0
Japan - 4 vs. Canada - 1So far, there has been one upset; and that was where Argentina lost to the Netherlands. As for the little betting game the game has going on, I currently have 600 of 800 points possible. The United States doesn't play until tomorrow afternoon, and I am looking forward to watching the watch. Until that time comes, I will be playing Dissidia and watching the other matches. Well, that's all from me. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 123: Random Draw
There wasn't a whole lot of gaming done today. I continued to help my friend get his Platinum trophy for Need for Speed: Most Wanted today. It was a lot of fun. Toward the end, a PSN friend of mine joined our game, and made me go from 2nd Place to 3rd Place. I am not good at racing games at all!
The group stages have been announced for the Osu! World Cup. The United States is in Group H along with Latvia, Italy, and New Zealand. The U.S. team is ranked as one of the top seeded teams, so the chance that they'll move on to the Knockout Stage is high. However, you never can tell.
I explored a little more of Castelia City in Pokémon White while I was waiting around at work today. Other than that, I played some GTA Online, and earned enough money to buy a garage. Now I have somewhere to park my car. Whenever I figure out how to use the ID thing on my car and find it.
Tomorrow I think I will play either Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, or Final Fantasy XIII or XIII-2. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 122: Trophy Hunting
I started the day playing Metal Gear Solid 2. I am nearly finished with Solid Snake's part of the game. After that, I downloaded the new maps for Osu!. I also played some multiplayer.
After that, I worked on Pokémon White. I leveled up some of my party. I exchanged Timburr for Woobat.
The main game I played today was Need for Speed: Most Wanted. A friend asked for my help in getting a few trophies in multiplayer. I was happy to help. However, I didn't have the latest update of the game. And for some reason, it takes forever for NFS:MW updates to download. I had to wait most of the day for it to finish. The worst part was that power went out while it was downloading the first time. I had to start all over and do it again.
Anyway, we played for a while. We each earned a few trophies.
Well, I have work in the morning, and so I am going to end this here for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 118: Fragments
I have been collecting fragments in Final Fantasy XIII-2 off and on all day today. One thing I know about this game is that even though I have spoiled the ending, I still am so surprised at how this story is going to reach the ending. For instance, I never thought I would be opening up new timelines. I thought it would just be going from one place to another. I didn't expect that the game would have the chance to see the effects of my actions throughout the story.
Mog is probably my favorite character in the game. I just like him so much. Especially when he gets thrown to fetch the treasure. And all of the fragments about him are so funny. Like the one where he talks about how he went up against Lightning and lost.
Anyway, I have I think 23 fragments now. I have recently unlocked the casino area and a couple others, if that gives you an idea as to my current position in the game.
I also played Osu! today, working on improving my ranks in both the monthly competitions as well as the overall standings. I saw today that I was knocked off the Taiko competition leaderboard, and I wasranked #40 in osu!mania. There are still about three weeks to improve my standings in the competitions. It will be difficult, at least in osu!mania. There are only two songs in the competition, which means there's only a maximum of two million points possible. I currently have 1,164,453. And considering the difficulties of those songs, I was lucky to get that amount. As for Taiko, there are nine songs, but I don't know how they get so many points. I don't think I have much of a chance on getting back on that leaderboard.
As for the overall standings, I am currently #11,879 in the world, and #653 in America. I am still working on going through my library of maps and playing the ones I haven't tried in a long time. And I still download the newest maps as the become approved and ranked. I like having first place in a map, even if for only a short time.
Well, that's all the gaming news I have for today. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 114: Traipsing through the Woods
Today I did little in the gaming stuff. I played a little Final Fantasy XIII, and a little Pokémon White. I also played a little Osu!. I didn't accomplish much in any of the games I played, but I still played. I tried to play more, but things would keep popping up and preventing me from doing that.
Anyway, I am nearing the end of the Titan Trials in Final Fantasy XIII. I am glad there are Save Points, because I would have hated to start over there.
And I am still in the forest trying to stop Team Plasma from taking off with the Dragon Skull.
And I increase my overall osu!mania ranking, even though I fell down the leaderboard in the monthly competitions.
So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 113: Nacrene Gym
I played several games today. This morning I began a save file for Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. I don't actually know the differences between the original and this "final mix". Today I started as usual playthroughs of the game begin, I gather materials for a raft. I also battled Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka. They were considerably easier to defeat than normal. Maybe it's because I have been playing the game for a few years, and know how to dodge their attacks or deflect them with my wooden sword. I don't know. I also defeated Riku, which was also easier since I remember his attack pattern.
Then I managed to advance two Save Points in Final Fantasy XIII. This was amazing, because I haven't advance to the next Save Point in nearly six months. The party has been stuck at the same spot for so long. You know, it makes me think that if the characters were real, what they would be doing when the player stops playing for a time.
And finally, I am right in front of the second Gym Leader in Pokémon White. I have added Tim Burton (Timburr) and P-itch (Throh) to my party, replacing Gauner (Purrloin) and Bernard (Lillipup). I think I am ready to face her. And I think I will battle her while I am writing this to give you a kind of play-by-play. So, here we go...

That was a difficult battle. I guess I wasn't as prepared as I should have been. Oh well. The good thing is that I won. Anyway, the game is saved, and I should finish this entry. Tomorrow I want to work on Final Fantasy XIII some more.
Before I close, the results were announced for the monthly Osu! competition today. Though I didn't win, I did make it on the Top 40 Leaderboard! I finished the month in 34th Place. And the next competition has already started. And, look at this...
Yep, that's me at the #1 Position after completing the two beatmaps in this month's competition. Since this screenshot was taken, I have fallen into 2nd Place. I am very close to the top spot though, I may be able to take it back. Also, I am currently in 4th Place in the Taiko competition as well. I am not too worried about that one, because I don't think I will be able to increase my score any more than it already is. But the osu!mania one, that one I will try and win.
Well, that's all for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 111: The Monkeys are back in their Cages!
I finished the main story of Ape Escape 3. It was a fun game. Definitely something that kept me from being depressed that it rained most of the day today. I captured Specter and saw the ending credits. Now, I could continue playing, because there are monkeys that I didn't capture. But those are just lackeys. All they do is add to the completion percentage.
I played Osu! as well today. I played maps that I haven't played since my first few weeks as a player. I was very surprised to see some of those old scores. Some of them are really bad. But I definitely improved them today. One song gave me enough points to jump from #12,701 in the world ranking to #11,659. I am very happy with that. Right now though, I am #11,658 worldwide, and #643 in the United States. There are still so many maps I can improve on, so who knows where I'll be on the leaderboard when I am done.
In Osu! World Cup news, there are 19 teams pending acceptance into the tournament. There's also quite a discussion as to whether FL (Flashlight Mode) should be an accepted mode to play in. But it has moved from that to the fact that the rules state the slots for teams are first come, first serve; but some teams are not even being moved into the pending category, as if the organizers are waiting for other teams to apply. Now in my opinion this seems underhanded and shady. Nowhere in the rules does it state that positions in the tournament are reserved.
I am just glad that I am not competing. I feel sorry for the smaller or lesser known countries that applied and didn't get moved to pending. I think that every country that wants to compete should be given the chance. Even if it takes longer than what was planned to determine the winner.
I received Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix and Pokémon Black 2 in the mail today. Both of them work perfectly. Other than that, I haven't had much of a chance to play them. Also, I tried and failed at reaching the final boss in Xenosaga Episode I once again today. I managed to get to the bottom of the elevator this time, though.
Well, tomorrow I will just try again. And that's about it for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 110: Building a Team
The status on the Osu! World Cup hasn't changed since the last time updated. There are still only 9 teams competing so far. I guess the other countries are still trying to figure out who will be playing on the teams? I don't know.
I played Ape Escape 3 today. I am almost finished with the main story. I am at the point of the game after Monkey Pink runs away. Not a lot can be said about it, because I am not sticking around to hear the details. The game is easy to play, and I want a quick win so I can mark it off the list.
I also Pokémon White against today as well. I am getting ready to face the second Gym Leader. My main party hasn't changed, but it will as soon as I get to a PC to get access to my other Pokémon. Here are all of my new friends.

It was much more difficult getting these pictures to line up than I thought.
Anyway, I want to put either Timburr or Throh on my party to combat the Normal-type Pokémon of the Gym Leader.
And that's about it. I am going to try and finish both Xenosaga Episode I and Ape Escape 3 tomorrow. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 108: My first PokéLoss.
Today I spent the majority of the day playing Pokémon White. Since I am able to trade and battle with others because my old modem works again, I picked up the game and started a new file. This time I chose to start with Snivy. I already have one badge. Here's how my team looks right now.
Ticker (Patrat): Level - 11 Nature - Serious Ability - Keen Eye
HP - 34 Attack - 18 Defense - 16
Sp. Atk - 12 Sp. Def - 14 Speed - 17
Tackle
Bite
Bide
Cut
Bernard (Lillipup): Level - 11 Nature - Naughty Ability - Vital Spirit
HP - 33 Attack - 19 Defense - 17
Sp. Atk - 12 Sp. Def - 15 Speed - 18
Leer
Tackle
Odor Sleuth
Bite
Aspira (Munna): Level - 11 Nature - Jolly Ability - Forewarn
HP - 40 Attack - 11 Defense - 15
Sp. Atk - 18 Sp. Def - 18 Speed - 13
Psywave
Lucky Chant
Yawn
Psybeam
I want to try and choose moves that fit their natures, so I have been reading up on strategies and stuff. And I tried to give nicknames to the Pokémon that fit their appearance. Ticker because it reminds me of a clock. Gauner is German for thief. Bernard because of St. Bernard dogs. Beowawe is a geyser field in Nevada. Aspira is short for aspiration, a synonym for dream. And Slither because it's final form looks like a snake.
I battled against someone today. And I lost horribly. Who was I to think that I could take on someone with three Level 11 Pokémon? My opponent did play it out a little in the beginning by choosing to use stat boost moves and let me get a few HP of damage on their first Pokémon. And then I got lucky that the accuracy of the move they used was low and I got to live a few extra turns. But then it was one KO after another.
Tomorrow I will be taking my DS to work with me that way I won't be bored in the event that I have to wait for the materials to show up or for me to pick up my check. I have the DS on the charger now just so there's little chance of the battery going dead while I am playing tomorrow.
I also got to the Monkey Blue fight in Ape Escape 3. Of all of the bosses in that game, Blue is probably my least favorite. I can never figure out his pattern of attack.
Finally tonight, the Osu! World Cup registration phase is going well. As of the time this is posted, there are 9 teams signed up for competing. There's Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Sweden now in the running. I have compiled the stats for the teams, but I haven't done anything with them yet. At first glance, it looks like Argentina and Poland have the best chance of winning. But there is still plenty of time for some big powerhouse teams (South Korea, Japan) to come in and sign up.
Well, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!

Day 107: One more finished!
So the big news of the day is that registration has begun for this year's Osu! World Cup. So far there are two teams entered; one representing Germany and the other representing Italy. I of course, have started my analysis of the team members and will be making my predictions as more teams confirm their participation. I am really excited, because this is the start of the competitive season and it will be my first competitive season.
Along with doing the analysis, I have thought about making a team intro video for the teams. I saw one I liked back when the GTA V crews were recruiting new members. I started on Italy's today. I have it half finished. I just have to add the other team members and then set some music at the silent parts.
In other news, I finished the main story quests in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. So, I am going to count it as complete on the list. And after that, I started a save file for Ape Escape 3. I have already captured Monkey White, so I'm about 15% complete in the story already. I still haven't put Xenosaga Episode I back in the games cabinet, because I intend to try finishing it sometime soon. Maybe I will find an online strategy that is guaranteed to work and use it.
Well, that's all from me for now. So, for the coming day, enjoy the games you play!
