Random long title because I can't think of one.

Wellity well a lot has happened over the past week since I made my last post, well ok maybe not a lot but quite a bit.

lets see... I completed The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on my 3DS, I bummed around at home and I went to tuggeranong the day before yesterday to see my girlfriend and go job hunting.

Even though I claim to have completed Zelda I am still missing four pieces of heart (one heart container), the Arrow capacity upgrade and the level 2 sword. I might get them within the next week.

Talking about Zelda, Ocarina of Time 3DS is coming out in one week and I AM SO EXCITED!!! Quite a lot of my friends have been skeptical about Zelda Ocarina of Time saying that it's just another pointless remake and I agree with them somewhat but then again Zelda will be basically the only decent game on the 3DS for quite some time. I was also contemplating whether to go to the release of Ocarina of Time as Link what do you think?


I was also supposed to be getting both Deus Ex and Fire Emblem: Radiant dawn at the weekend but I forgot to invite the friend with Fire Emblem until a couple days before the weekend at which point he had already made plans. oh well.

My friend who was meant to be coming over on Sunday and lending me Deus Ex couldn't make it because his parents made plans again without letting him know until last minute. It kinda annoys me that he couldn't come because this has happened about at least 10-15 times now. ah well stuff happens, there's always another time for him to come over.

It was good seeing my girlfriend on Tuesday. I missed her and her hugs since she had gone to Supanova in Sydney for the weekend. She cosplayed as Yui from K-on I think. I didn't go because of lack of money and job (why do jobs have to be so hard to find or at least not get rejected for? AAAAARGH!). From what I know she got a couple of pins for her bag one was Edward Elric and the other was Alphonse (Al) Elric both from FMA AKA Full Metal Alchemist and I approve of them because they are awesome. She also got a Hetalia figurine and some DVDs of a series called Nana I believe.


Also on Tuesday there was a bird in the Lake Tuggeranong College common room which I managed to use my epic (not really) skills to catch it and set it free. It was very tiring since the bird flew around a lot and managed to dodge my attempts to catch it in my coat but eventually after a few minutes of the bird flying into windows a lot I managed to grab it, but then it managed to worm its way out of my coat and escape again. After that though the bird was tired enough for me to catch it and set it free.


So yes I believe that was the past week in a nutshell. I apologize for it being such a big post since a lot did happen but I promise I will post more often and post smaller amounts just so it doesn't get jammed into one big post like this.


anywhoo that's all from me for now goodbye! さよăȘら!


P.S I'm going to post some things in Japanese from now on because I feel like it and because I can. I will also have the English for it written so don't worry.

Video Game Rant.

Well I had a relatively good day today. I applied for a job, got to see my lovely girlfriend, got owned in a Pokemon battle by a level 12 Wartortle and then came home with a friend and spent the afternoon looking up video game trailers. I also beat the second dungeon in Link's Awakening. My god how I hate that clown boss even though I did manage to beat him first try without dying once.

I am now currently listening to random orchestrated versions of Phoenix Wright themes. It makes me want to play Phoenix Wright again, but I can wait until I get my R4 back. I rather like Phoenix Wright, it's a really good game. The music in the game is brilliant; really capturing the moments and somehow makes a game about court fun.

On another note I am really excited about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time coming out on 3DS on the 30th of June. Such a good game. I can't wait to try the Master Quest mode having not played Master Quest when it was released with Zelda: Wind Waker. It will also have a Boss Mode where you just fight the bosses one after the other I presume.

I'm also looking forward to Cavestory 3D. For those who don't know about Cavestory look it up. It is an Ingenious game. It is a classic side-scrolling platformer/shooting game think of games like Metroid Fusion and Super Metroid and Megaman. Anyway I expect it to be good since it is just like the original only with 3D graphics.

But yes, enough of video game ranting at the moment I'm just really excited about what's coming out. Expect more rants to come when Ocarina of Time is actually out and when I get excited about other games coming out such as Lylat Wars 64 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising and Luigi's Mansion 2.

P.S I can't wait to play Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn again when I borrow it off a friend. I'm also borrowing Deus Ex to see what that's like since the new one is coming out relatively soon i think.

The crazy man who lives down under

Hi! for those who don't know me I am Sarakthor a resident of a strange mythical place called Down Under. I wasn't however born in this crazy upside-down place, I was born in small village in the south east of England in a county called East Sussex. You might call me a stereo-typical Brit meaning that I have bad teeth, wear glasses and I like tea.

I don't however say those weird phrases such as "Freshen your tea Guv'na?" well, I might occasionally if i am joking around. I don't really sound very English or so I think having lived in The Land Down Under for six years and Ireland for four and a half.

Hmm, what do I like you ask? well I shall answer that question now.

1. Video/Computer games. My most favourite video game series has to be Zelda. You just can't beat it in terms of awesomeness.
2. Anime/Manga. I don't read Manga as much as I watch Anime but still like to read it from time to time. I'm not really a fan of western style comics.
3. Japanese culture/language. I have studied Japanese for about three years but the first year doesn't really count since I didn't learn anything.
4. World of Warcraft/ other MMOs i have a level 83 Blood elf DK on silvermoon and a level 73 Night elf Druid on Gundrak known to the server's population as FunDrak. But recently I have been getting into RIFT.

Hmm, not sure what else I like, well I suppose I like browsing the net a lot, you can find me on facebook most of the day due to lack of job and having finished school.

Anyway congrats if you have read this far, this is it from me for the moment.
