Spring Break FTW

Journal Entry: Sat Mar 15, 2008, 9:46 PM
Woohoo! School's out for a week - time to (after completing the two homework assignments due the day we get back)kick back, relax, and, most importantly, PLAY BRAWL!!!

Man, last week was one of those tough college-weeks; 3 midterms in 3 days is not fun - luckily I did pretty phenomenally, but in engineering, there's always room for improvement. Took the train home Friday with the biggest duffle bag ever... it was an awkward commute.

Now, onto Brawl - impressions:

It is extremely fun, and I'm really happy they didn't screw up the gameplay or anything. There is one thing the gameplay is not: it is not identical to Melee. I can't put my finger on it; it's not that it's slower, 'cause it isn't... it's kind of "floaty," it's more balanced, and I find that you have to be more precise with the timing of your attacks and whatnot.

Somehow, altogether, it results in very fun and rewarding gameplay mechanics that work very well. Throw in a cast of all-star characters... what more can you ask for... aside from more!?

My brother and I are playing through the SSE on Intense and it's pretty... intense [insert joke about unoriginality here]. I find it very fun, but I know there are mixed reviews on this section.

There are so many little changes to each individual character that I can't really talk about them here, but I will summarize: Sheik is pretty much the same awesomeness, and Kirby and Pikachu pwn once again!

The transition from Melee to Brawl is not an insignificant one, but I am finding that it's either better or just plain old different (which isn't to say bad). Awesome game that, for once, deserves most or all of its hype.

/Smash Bros. rant

This Wednesday, for spring break me and four friends are going upstate to one of said friend's vacation house, and it's going to be an awesome time: hanging out, rock band, poker, concerts, hiking, and more... :drunk:

I cannot, cannot wait for that, but I kinda want to make it back in time for most of Easter... we'll see what happens; my parents are kinda pissed about it, but... oh well. I was pissed when they all went to Disney World without me, too. :P

. . . CAN'T WAIT!!!

Tis ok, I just thought it would be cool. :D

Most cool people think Kirby/Pokemon is retarded. Some think they're awesome. They are the cool ones.

Oh wow; well you see, each wallpaper requires me to take the background out from behind the character, usually manually, and then I use this background-less image in the wallpaper.

I've been saving each character I do so that one day, I CAN make a wallpaper with everyone in it, like you said - but that won't come until each character has an individual wallpaper... which won't be any time soon...

Sorry to disappoint. :(

I'd like to see a Brawlpaper of everyone you could fit in, if you're up to it.

You know how to take it, or would you like me to send it to you?
