• In Engrish, we have to read a shortened version of “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens. (My friends say the beginning is the only good part & then gets really bad later on…) So, our Engrish teacher actually let us watch half of the “South Park” version of it. (It apparently got really bad at the end, so that’s why we didn’t finish it) God, it was hilarious. “Don’t mind me; I’m just blacksmithing. Look, I made a metal newspaper!” X,D
• Biology, we discussed the very confusing topic that is evolution. (And yes, there was a brief discussion of Pokemon in there.) How is it confusing? Well, there’s barely evidence of it, so people keep arguing between evolution & religious beliefs. (They burnt down a kid’s picture of evolution for crying out loud!) And after that serious discussion, our Biology teacher let us watch a “Simpsons” opening that showed the evolutionary process through Homer. It was very lulz-tastic
• GEOGRAPHY, MY-MUCH-BETTER-THAN-POLITICAL-SCIENCE-CLASS, we took a quiz on the world map after we got to draw our own versions & label zem. (I colored mine with flag colors of countries. c: But GOD, why must so many flags have red?! My red colored pencil nearly died after I drew most of the flags! D: ) After the very easy quiz we took, we got to watch the Caves section of “Planet Earth”. It was magnificently creepy; what with the glow worms fishing for food (with transparent bodies, might I add… @_@ ) & the snakes sensing the heat of bats for food capture. oAo I sense stuff that shall be in my stories soon~

And then we took a quiz (SUPER-DUPER EASY) in Algebra. Pretty much it… o_o’ But yeah, it was still cool to watch that kind of stuff in class. -w- ALSO, Tobuscus is hilarious:

And whatever you do, don’t forget to keep fighting! Remember, this is only dead for now, so it CAN come back to life at any given moment. @_@

Hello, future friends and enemies. Well, you know about SOPA, right? You know, the bill that would be your ticket to jail just by not crediting original creators of Youtube & other sites? NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT NOW! WHY?

SOPA IS DEAD!!!

You heard me right! (Unfortunately, it’s only in hiding, but still!) THIS IS A MIRACLE! 8,D

Hello, future friends and enemies. SO, the difficult testing known as Finals are over where I believe the only one I failed is the EVIL Political Science one. (Rawr, the website barely gave us any of the words we had to study for vocab…) And with hard work comes awesome relaxation time by having none other than a 4 day weekend! WOO~~ 8D (The normal weekend + MKJ holiday + teacher work-day) The best part about this being a 4 day weekend is that an anime convention was in town where I actually got to hang out with DJ & Mizore after us barely talking to each other due to different classes AND meeting Senpai ever since we went to high school! Luckily, I got our magical experience on camera, so as soon as I know which editing software to buy & maybe drawing-on-the-computer-thingymajigger, I shall upload it on the evil Youtube for everyone to see! (Hopefully, SOPA won’t become too strict on us by showing people dressing up as their favorite “copyrighted” characters. ._. ) Oh yes, for those wondering, I cosplayed as a hipster. X3

HOWEVER, there were some downsides; aka the security. I mean, they were complete jerks to us. D: Always telling us to move when we were waiting for Senpai in the hallways & the lines for voice actors being EXTREMELY long. (You’d have to get in line the second the convention even opened!) Sheesh, maybe this is a sign of fans & such when becoming a voice actor/Internet sensation. o_o’ Oh well, as long as I got some memorobilia from my first ever convention… And we would’ve gone today, but DJ got an urge to go to a movie theater arcade so she could play DDR & then hang out at her house for a while with Mizore & I. We all thought that was good since our only other option would be waiting in a line for 2 to 3 hours… BUT YEAH, we went to the arcade where DJ practically dominated DDR (got that on film as well) while Mizore & I played pinball and air hockey, then we went to DJ’s house where we got to play a bit of Fallout 3 (love the game; I just hate doing evil deeds is all… T^T), eat yummy food, and also play with DJ’s ADORABLE puppies. 8D After a while, Mizore & I went back to my house to play a bit of Okami. It was a good start to a 2 day weekend, AND NOW, I shall spend the rest of my days sleeping in & doing nothing. d(owo)b

IMPORTANT NEWS! For those in Alabama & going to Kami-con, Crispin Freeman will be there, so please be a doll & ask him if he can say “Hi” or something. PLEASE? He’s my favorite voice actor. D: Oh yes, Kami-con will be in February, which is also the month that “The Secret World of Arrierty” will be playing in theaters, so don’t miss that as well! AND FINALLY, the amazing “Magic Treehouse” series is actually turning into an anime movie! GOD, I LOVED READING THOSE AS A KID. 8,D Don’t believe me? See for yourself(ves):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHPkeRCK17g

It’s legit, trust me

OTHER THAN THAT, life’s been okay. I mean, I got to see my friends once more; so that’s a bonus. (Plus, I got to give them socks/drawings as their late Christmas presents) And just… GAH, I can’t think anymore. >_<

Well, when I learned about this, that made me a little sad; but luckily, it became awesome once I realized what I got this year. A 3DS, GAMES FOR IT (Including OoT 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, Sonic Generations for 3DS, and Mario Kart 7), AND SOME HILARIOUS MOVIES LIKE “VAMPIRES SUCK”. 8D (The only thing I really hoped to get that I didn’t was the “Fairy Tail” DVD I asked along with Spirit Tracks, but hey, I can’t complain) Currently abusing the 3DS so I can unlock everything in Mario Kart 7, but yeah, it can be scary if you’re not used to the controls. @_@ (Same with the others, to be honest) Oh yeah, our yearly tradition of RC cars was brought out, but mine sucks; it only charges for a few seconds & then loses its batteries in said few seconds. -_- *sigh* Guess that’s what ya get for getting such a small car

P.S. Here’s a hilarious comic about evil ice levels in video games:

Trust me, I had to suffer through White Wafers in Return to Dreamland and it’s just getting worst. @_@

Hello, future friends and enemies. I only have 2 hours or so until I gotta go to my orthodontist apointment where once again, I am told I won’t get my braces off really soon, so before I go there, I have an important message to tell you people.
Meta Knight: IS IT TO DRINK BEER?!
Pikes: …No… It’s that I found a video with all of the hilarious Rayman Rabbids very useful scientific facts! Haha, I loved watching these a few years back. X,D SO, instead of being a Scrooge & hogging it to myself, I shall give the link to you!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-wW_ETHHAY

I don’t really have a favorite one here, but if I had to choose, it’d be the “Tour de France” one. X) Oh yeah, this skit also got inspired by this game–
Meta Knight: ALONG WITH BEER!
Pikes: ._. Yes, they were drunk when they made it, but not by beer…
Meta Knight: OF COURSE IT WAS BY BEER! EVERYTHING IS BY BEER!!!
Pikes: …What’s with him?
Lucario: He’s been watching the Autarach of Flame’s videos on Youtube…
Pikes: Ahh, I see. WELL, LET’S FORGET ALL OF THAT AND SHOW YOU THE SKIT!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUJXtGfmKpQ

SO, how are you guys going to spend your vacations? Be with the family? Do exactly as I do? OR will you tell me about the holidays you celebrate if’n you don’t celebrate Christmas?! 8D (Sorry, curious to know…) So far, my vacation has been going to a basketball game with DJ that was our school against my brudder’s (where we unfortunately lost all 3 games… T^T) & playing non-stop Kirby with said friend DJ. (God, the ice levels in “Return to Dreamland” are HORRIBLE! D8< And it’s only about to get worst…) OH YES, I’ve also been watching trailers of new games that are bound to come out sometime IN THE FUTURE.
Lucario: I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!
Pikes: -_- You just had to do that, didn’t you?
Lucario: Well, the new episode came out, so yes; I had to. (Talkin’ bout TFS’ DBZ abridged)
Pikes: *sigh* Whatever… SO, it turns out that there’s 2 new games I’m obsessing over lately and here are the magical trailers for said games:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u34bzH5Eo04&feature=player_embedded

^ This is a trailer for a new Pokemon game where it crosses with the series of “Nobunaga’s Ambition”, which is apparently a popular RPG/skill series in good ol’ Japan. When I saw this trailer, my eyes nearly exploded from the awesomeness that was seen; I MEAN, FINALLY! Pokemon’s starting to get even more creative by teaming up with other games that aren’t Nintendo! 8D Not to mention the people in this game look pretty awesome… owo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtj_XzQfcXE&list=PLFDEC8B061EDE0F28&index=10&feature=plpp_video

^ Here’s a trailer for SEGA’s “Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure”. You’re probably thinking from seeing this title & trailer that this is a Professor Layton rip-off. WRONG, GOOD SIRS; PROFESSOR LAYTON CAN’T DANCE. (But if that were the case, would it be an Elite Beat Agents rip-off? o3o AHH, I DUNNO; THE GAME LOOKS AWESOME, ESPECIALLY THE MAIN THEME OF SAID GAME!)

Well, speaking of games, my mumzies is asking for what else I wish to have for Christmas this year since I already asked for a 3DS, T-shirts, AND VIP passes to the anime convention in January. …Wow, they just love to spoil me and not the world around me… o_o Umm, that was a little deep there; all I know is that I’m asking for a bunch of 3DS games. 8D

• Northern Undead Asylum: The very first area you are in. The entire asylum itself has no guards and it is literally run by the inmates and apparently they let you keep your equipment. The background itself on this area is that the Primeval Lord Gwyn, who feared the coming of man, told his servants to shepard the humans to great asylums like these. So they literally put you in here because you are human and no guards because theres no need for worried breakouts because a giant demon guards the door and besides, every other human went insane here. You start out here in the game and it’s the tutorial level. You are imprisoned, but Oscar, Knight of Astora saves you, but subsequently gets injured himself. He gives you a key and the game’s healing item, the Estus Flask and dies. First you run away from the demon that guards the gate, but you find yourself on the ledge above it and you slay the demon and earn your freedom. As you approach an icy cliff, a giant crow appears and takes you away. You can return here after you ring the “Bell of Awakening” and letting the great crow transport you back here. The differences  is that  tougher enemies are here and that you will face a boss if you are not careful. Oscar goes hollow and he will fight you here. It was a nice level for a beginner, not that many comments. Sad that the first human you see will try to kill you when you return.
• Firelink Shrine: The gigantic crow will transport you here, the hub world of Dark Souls, you’re largest sanctuary you will have. I have already discussed the people you meet here, consult that post if you wish to know. This area is connected to New Londo Ruins, Undead Burg, Undead Parish, and the Catacombs. Once you ring the two bells of awakening you meet Kingseeker Frampt, a primordial serpent who tells you that you are the successor to Gwyn (mythos will be talked about later) and tells you to seek another location we will talk about. But don’t heed Frampt’s words just yet. The entire atmosphere is kind of…depressing, the music is pretty sad. Firelink Shrine is a pretty spoilerish name.
• Undead Burg: I forget if this was the Kingdom of Balder or just a human city gone mad. Probably the latter but then again lot of things are left for interpretation. This location is probably the easiest to get to as the Catacombs require a holy weapon, New Londo a cursed weapon and Undead Parish needs to have a shortcut unlock. This area is accessed through an aquaduct and you emerge in Undead Burg’s upper area. Undead Burg is the town full of undead hollows who mindlessly kill anything in site minus eachother. By descending one of the towers, you gain access to Darkroot Basin. Going up the tower will lead you to a boss fight with the Taurus Demon (maybe originated from another location). This area can either be explored or you can continue to Undead Parish after cross a bridge guarded by a dragon. You can either run through or go below and climb a tower. By further exploring this area, you gain access to the Depths and Blighttown by going down to the ruined village itself. You must fight the Capra Demon if you wish to continue to the two mentioned locations.
• Undead Parish: After beating the Taurus Demon and finding a way past the dragon you arrive in Undead Parish. It’s just a large area of navigating through the outside of a church. Once inside the church you can either use the elevator to Firelink Shrine, go to the tower next to the church to unlock further areas or climb the church to face the Belfry Gargoyles, the twin monsters that guard the first bell of awakening. Not much to say about this place.
• Darkroot Garden: Forest area that is connected to Undead Parish. The forest is full of demonic ents that try to vine whip and chew on your skull a bit. The entire area itself is full of cliffs and is one of the most gorgeous looking place in Dark Souls. The area is in perpetual night and the area is filled with large trees and bioluminescant plants. The area is also filled with strange frogs and large stone soldiers. Area connects to Darkroot Basin by going down the cliffs. By going down the cliffs even further you gain access to the Valley of Drakes. If you have enough souls to buy a key you gain access to another area (I personally like to call it Darkroot Forest) but if you don’t have the key, you must navigate through the basin. By going pass the Stone Knights you arrive in a small tower and you face a Moonlight Butterfly in a very pretty battleground.
• Darkroot Basin: By heading below the cliffs you enter darkroot basin. By fighting a few crystal golems you arrive at a gorgeous looking lake. But the problem is, a 6 headed hydra is in that lake spitting water at you. Once you kill the beast, you can safely climb a ladder leading to the sub area of Darkroot Garden and deeper into the forest. In the forest you can either go about two ways. The first path is to the path of the Forest Covenant, filled with forest hunters that try to kill you. The 2nd path leads to a pretty dangerous path as well. You will pitted against these humongous cat monsters. After you get past them, you run into a small family of walking mushroom people. They will not harm you if you don’t get close so I normally don’t try to kill them. By going past the cats and the mushrooms you will find a small bridge leading to a door, and through that door lies a huge tombstone in an open field with numerous weapons surrounding it. If you approach the grave, you will face, Great Grey Wolf Sif, protector of the greatsword and grave of Artorias the Abysswalker, one of the 4 knights of Gwyn. Area is full of cliffs and is freaking amazing.
• The Depths: By slaying the Capra Demon in the lower part of Undead Burg you gain access to the Depths or simply put, the sewers of the city. A strange assortment of enemies ranging from large rats and slime inhabit the sewers, the most fear inducing being the Basilisks, strange frog like creatues who can curse(petrify you) with a noxious gas they breath. At the very bottom of the Depths lies the Gaping Dragon, a dragon that has literally been either going through inbred families or just been exposed to the sewage for too long. Pics in another post. The Gaping Dragon then leaves a key to Blighttown, one of the more disgusting places of the game. It’s pretty disgusting
• Blighttown: Bligghtown can be accessed in the long way or the short way. The short way is directly through the Depths. Just when you think the couldn’t go deeper, you can. Descend to the sewers even further and behold the world beneath Lordran (basically the land you are in). Before you can behold it though. You must navigate the makeshift shanty town of bugs and these poisonous trolls. As you go further in, you find the world above you and you see great trees. You descend Blighttown and arrive in the swamps. The short way is through Darkroot Garden and directly into the Valley of Drakes. Either way you will enter Quelaag’s Domain. Blighttown itself is just ugly to look at.
• Quelaag’s Domain: Quelaag is a Chaos Witch that was a daughter of Chaos of the Witch of Izalith, one of the Primeval Lords. Quelaag’s body below her waist is a huge demonic spider that spits out lava while her top half is a pretty but pale woman. The lair itself is covered with webs and eggs. Somehow, the second bell of awakening is located here. You can also meet Quelaag’s nicer younger sister who is very sick.
• The Great Hollow: On the opposite side of the swamp, there lies a great tree. You can climb up its roots and enter into the tree itself. This area is pretty secretive and really is the “secret” zone of the entire game as who would want to backtrack the swamp to get here? Plus this place has really no value as there isn’t a boss at the end of the level nor is it story related. The Great Hollow itself takes place inside a humongous tree, with smaller branches INSIDE the damn thing. Falling off will result in death as well, to make it worse, there are basilisks in here.
• Ash Lake: At the very bottom of the Great Hollow, you arrive in Ash Lake. What seems to be the very bottom of the world. You are in a the sandy(or is it ash?) beaches of the world. You can see enormous tress and water as far as the eye can see. But you can concentrate on the scenary right after you kill that damn hydra spitting water at you. Ash Lake is one of my favorite locations in this game. The music that acompanies it makes you feel really small. By going further into the beach, you find a grouping of trees, and inside that tree, lies an Everlasting Dragon, the ex-ruler of the world (or atleast its species were)
• Valley of Drakes: Can be accessed from New Londo Ruins or Darkroot Basin. The valley itself is literally just a huge valley going either upwards or downwards depending on how you came. The area is filled with drakes (lesser cousins of the dragons) that spit lightning. This area doesn’t have a boss but it dose have a huge zombie dragon near the New Londo passage. It isn’t too pretty to look at as it is pretty dark.
• Sen’s Fortress: After ringing the two bells of awakening in Undead Parish and Quelaag’s Domain, a giant is shown pulling the chains that control the fortress gates. A blacksmith tells us that this fortress was an proving guards created by the ancient gods. The fortress itself (No idea who Sen is actually”) is a booby trapped wonderland. Filled with boulders, guillotine axes, freaking maneater treasure chests, arrow traps, and even the elevators are booby trapped in case anyone didn’t get out on the right floor. Not only traps, but it is infested with Serpent men, either sword wielding or lightning casting. As you ascend the huge building you will reach the top, only to have a giant throw gigantic firebombs toward you. You can deal with that after you climb a little more. Then you will arrive at your destination, a small area where you will face the Iron Golem, the guardian to Anor Londo. As you slay the monster, you approach a glowing area. Bat demons then descend on you and carry you to the sun-bathed capital, of Anor Londo. The entire area is unnerving, at least the first time, traps are freakin everywheeeeere.
• Anor Londo: Anor Londo is the capital of the gods and rightfully so. The entire area is baked by the twilight sun and giant sentinels guard the buildings. You are dropped off by the bat demons far off from the central cathredal you must get to. You must battle against sentries guarding the outside of the buildings. You enter this one huge building through its catwalk near the ceiling. As you get down, you are attacked by white robed swordsmen who guard this gigantic painting, more on that later. Now you must scale another building in order to get to the main cathredral, which doors are locked from the inside. Now in the main building you must face the Silver Knights, the loyal knights of Gwyn who remain in their posts even after death. Inside the main halls you will face Dragonslayer Ornstein and Executionor Smough, two faithful knights of Gwyn. Ornstein being the leader of Gwyn’s Four Knights (Artorias, Ornstein, Gough, and Ciaran) while Smough is the royal executionor. Once the duo is dealth with you can visit Gwynevere, Gwyn’s daughter who rewards you with the Lordvessel, the object required to access the final area of the game. I love the castle theme, I wish there were more levels like this.
• The Painted World of Ariamis: In Anor Londo, there is a single building that houses a gigantic painting. If you are in possession of a peculiar doll, you can enter the Painted World. The Painted World itself is a world perpetual night and in perpetual winter. The snowy landsacpe is a wonder to look at and you start off on a bridge which makes it even more beautiful. The area is filled with zombies and frightning crow monsters that peck your head out. At the end of the painted world you find Priscilla, a experiment gone wrong that involves human and dragon crossbreeding. However by experiment gone wrong, I mean, sorta gone right. For a crossbreed, she looks like a white haired girl with a fuzzy coat. Anyways, you can either fight her or ignore her and exit the painted world by leaping off an edge of the building you were in. Loved the stage, but kinda confusing to go through.
• New Londo Ruins: From the Dark Souls lore, New Londo was a prospering kingdom and the 4 Kings of New Londo were given a fragment of Lord Gwyn’s Soul. However, the kingdom had a strange encounter with a mysterious “entity” within an even more ambiguous “area” known as the Abyss, a place of eternal, everending darkness. The Kings heeded the words of a “creature of the Abyss” that promised them the power of Darkness. The Kings and the knights of New Londo agreed and they are known as the Darkwraiths. The city was sealed by the 3 sealers and now the city remains flooded, with the ghosts of the dead littering the streets they once roamed. The city is pretty much deep below ground and a single crack in the area, provides light. Once the water is removed (through a huge gate leading to the Valley of Drakes) you can now enter the building that leads to the boss fight arena. But to get there you must rely on your cliff jumping or face the Darkwraiths.
• The Abyss: As mentioned above, the Abyss is an endless expanse of darkness and without the proper skills, one will immediately die in the darkness. To access the abyss, you must have slain Sif in Darkroot Garden. Sif guarded the grave of Artorias, otherwise known as the Abysswalker. He hunted the darkwraiths but formed a covenant with the creature of the abyss to slay the Four Kings of New Londo but no avail. Anyways, by slaying Sif, you inherit the “Art of Abysswalking”. As you jump down toward the darkness, you iniate the fight with the Four Kings of New Londo. Horribley disfigured monsters that once were man. Their swords, look like dismembered fins of fish and their left arm is practically non-existant, a huge…network of arms that create a small capturing technique. The Kings approach one by one, but if you are not quick enough, all four kings shall arrive from the darkness and you will be forced to face all of them. If you kill them and have not helped Frampt, another primordial serpent will appear and reveal to you your true fate.

heheheh, I feel so Christmas-y right now, it is almost worth having a few Chortles.  Anyway, Mizore is back again!

Now, I have a great question for all y’alls minds.  What is my real name?

Girl Nerdy Otaku Audience: OMFG, MIZORE OTAKA RAVENWING, CHU CHU!

Boyish Nerd Audience: WHY THE F**K SHOULD WE KNOW?

…. Nice to know people are mentally ill.  Anyway, the answer is Charles Jackson! People call me Short one, or Shorts.  Well, my last name might be a lie, but for what reason should I tell you that secret when people out in the expanse of cyber space called the CREEPER NET will try and creep. Since everybody knows “Creepers be Creepin’, ” or at least know what MINECRAFT is to truly know what a Creeper can be.  I even made a cartoon character of myself in a way! Most of my friends think of me these days as the blackest white kid they have ever met, I took the liberty of making C. J. Shorts (My cartoon version of MEH) to be a gangster child and always carry a spray can.  He loves drawing cherries~! Oh, and I made him a guy. And yes, I am a woman named Charles.  Not Kidding. So, enjoy your Christmas! HO HO HO~~

:0D HONK.

BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~!
