  1. I'll be on vaction for the next 8 days, leaving tommorow night. (Goin to good ol' England, woot!) I probably won't be able to get any posts out unless I try from my phone, but that's always complicated. But we'll see. Anyway, see you in a week-ish!
  2. Okay! So I'll be leaving for vacation tomorrow night, so you probably won't see any posts from me for a week or so. I may try to get something out from my phone, but that's always complicated. Sorry guys.

  3. So...I went from a B+ to a C ranking in Splatoon. Yeah. Okay. *cries in the corner*

      I'm still lingering on level 9 - accursed internet connectivity makes for a very spotty ability to play online, lol (Stay Freeesh~)

  4. Forgot to make a status about this earlier, but Love Wins! Woot!

  5. Hey there! Welcome back to my blog-thing that I almost forgot about! ...yeah, I know I said that I'd do Jurassic World, but I forgot that I saw this one a couple weeks ago, so I figured I might as well review it. This one will be a bit shorter though, since...well, I don't have much to say. So...spoilers? I guess? Is there anything to spoil? Whatever. --- Alright, lets dive into the story: The Bellas are trying to win a championship that most people think they can't win, but end up finding their sound and bond along the way, and win. Wait...are we talking about the story for the first or second movie here? Yeah, that's my biggest problem with the movie. The story is almost exactly the same as the first one. I mean, there's some differences I guess, but when it comes down to it, they're the same. The story wasn't all bad though. There were some 'twists', I guess is the word. I liked the subplot of Becca working in a recording studio. Its just a really good portrayal of the lesson that moving on in life isn't a bad thing. I also like the new character...Emma or Emily or something like that? Anyway, she was a good awkward type of character...though, that's about it. She never really devolped much, she was just kinda there. But oh well. Then there's Fat Amy. I found her subplot with her and Bumper (on a side note, why didn't the Treblemakers do much in this movie?) kinda weird. It was just... I dunno, undescribably weird? That's the best way I can put it. Though that scene with her paddling across the lake was pretty hilarious. Speaking of which, wow the comedy really shined here. Honestly, I think that's the one thing this one genuinely did better than the first one. It really had me laughing at some parts. But still, there were some cringe-worthy moments when the movie was trying to be funny. The first scene, for example, when Fat Amy's....commandoness, I guess, got them into that whole mess. It was almost trying too hard, in a way? But yeah, that's the biggest example. Oh yeah, and the a capella itself- I loved it. It was just as good as the first one. I mean, its just cool what they can do, and yeah. Das Sound Machine? They were okay as an antagonist. Just the cocky rich type I suppose. So in the end the Bellas win the Worlds and yeah. I know I compared this one a lot, but I just couldn't help it. It was just too similar! But oh well, in the end, 6/10 Next up- Jurassic World...for real this time!
  6. Was sitting in a dentist waiting room and saw a girl sitting next to me drawing a (really well done) picture of Discord. Awesome. :D

  7. Hey there! Welcome to my blog that just now started existing! I'll post in here every now and then- rambles and/or rants about stuff, maybe some stories, or reviews...which is what this first post is! Most of these reviews will probably be of movies, because, well, I watch a lot of movies. And whenever I do, my mind just goes in all these analytical directions, and this is just me writing them down. It'll probably not be very organized like most reviewers, but hey, that's how the Lord of Chaos rolls. So here we go with San Andreas! Oh, and if you haven't figured out already: SPOILERS --- So I'm going to skip talking about the beginning and exposition parts here, mostly because there's not much to say. But I will talk about the characters. Because one major question hit me: why did Ray and Emma get a divorce? I guess you're supposed to assume that it was because Ray didn't know how to deal with their daughter's death because of their conversation later in the movie, but honestly, the way he was acting wasn't that bad. It wasn't like he was completely shutting her out or anything. Heck, they still seemed to be good even after their divorce. But I dunno, maybe I'm wrong. It's not like I know that much about marriage anyways. XD Of course, this is just a minor nitpick considering that the situation of the child's death and the divorce afterward was one of the most contrived cliches to ever be in a movie. /)_- The rest of the characters were fine. I liked Blake, though there's nothing interesting really to say about her. And Ben and Ollie? Well...OH MY GOD BRITISH CHARACTERS THAT AREN'T OVERLY FANCY. ...Bonus points movie, bonus points. Anyway, moving onto the story, starting off with the scene where they can predict earthquakes. (Can't remember their names, but one of them dies anyways so I'm calling the other one That Guy. Mmkay.) It seems legit, but a couple problems here- 1. Timing. They saw the one in Colorado coming just seconds before it happened, but That Guy predicted the big 9.6 one a good while before it happened, at least long enough to rig into CNN and evacuate everyone. How does dat work? 2. Well... every time That Guy explains something, I got lost immediately. At least explain what's going on in a way that people can follow! Now then, onto the quakes themselves. I can't really say much besides how awesome they looked. I've always been a sucker for great special effects, and this movie didn't disappoint. The best part had to be the moment when the camera pans out, and you see the entire ground wavering. Bring on the destruction! One thing did bother me though- the scene where Emma was at the restaraunt and the earthquake hits. As she tries to escape and get to the roof, you just see so many background people die in so many ways. Falls to death, catches on fire, gets squished... I mean, it was one after the other, and all in a span of about two minutes! It was like being in a haunted house! This happened a lot actually, but I think it was the most obvious during that scene. Okay, moving along a little. The tsunami. Again, bonus points because that thing looked pretty awesome, but something bothered me about it. And after some thought, I figured it out- I'm no expert (I couldn't even follow That Guy) but the San Andreas fault was over land, right? I thought quakes over water triggered tsunamis... I mean, maybe the tremors from it caused it? But still, the whole thing just seemed off. Anyway, moving onto the climax where I totally think Blake dies and I'm about to go into a rage mode because killing off the main character is one of my biggest pet peeves....but she lives. Well okay. Sure, why not? And then there's a pan out shot and California is a huge mess and the movie ends. Overall? It was okay. Nothing spectacular, but good. A little contrived, and some plotholes maybe, but I liked it. 7/10. Next up- Jurassic World! Bring on the Steven Spielberg!
  8. Saw San Andreas yesterday, and Jurassic World today. Both great movies with AMAZING special effects....but I think I'd rather watch dinosaurs than earthquakes any day of the week. Rawr. ;)

  9. Finally found my 3ds after about a month after I lost it...first thing I do? Just played Fire Emblem for 4 hours straight. :D

  17. Okay! I think I've caught up on all my posts except for Dart Struck (which I haven't forgotten about, just a little brain dead on that one) and the final Speed-dating round, which I'll get to when I can.

    1. Zealot

      Zealot

      Hehe, yeah. We seem to have met a bit of a stall with Dart Struck. I'm still up for continuing it though.

  18. Okay. Posts will come tomorrow. Promise! Meant to get em today, but I got kidnapped and dragged into the pool so...yeah.

  19. Okay. I'm not sure if this is exactly possible, but there's an app in WoE I posted a while ago...I was wondering if someone could delete it? I've lost the inspiration, and I just don't have the time to work on it. Thanks.

    1. RarityDash

      RarityDash

      The app in question has been removed. I would, in the future suggest using the report button (or PMing the moderators) for requestingsomething like this, as it's very possible we'll miss something if it's posted here as a status update.

    2. Hawkeye12

      Hawkeye12

      Alright, thanks :)
