Yeah this has been a real shock to me when I went on DA this afternoon only to find that everyone has been turned into a Mudkip!! I know its an April fools thing and the transformation should wear off shortly. Mind you, I do feel a bit weird in this form.

Nothing really excitings been happening over the last few months as we had builders renovating the house as we’re having a new kitchen downstairs and my room upstairs is being redecorated. I had to move into a room downstairs and been there since late January and so far my old room has new windows, walls repainted and carpet laid out. The furniture that has been ordered from Argos is taking far too long to arrive and all I got so far upstairs is an unfinished Wardrobe and a bedside chest of drawers. So It looks like I’ll be still down here for another month.


In college news I’m doing alright at the moment, I should be near the end of Pre-production and begin work on my animation. If necessary I may need voice actors but I think I can voice most of the characters myself. And theres also my essay which I have not started on yet as I really hate essays as I cant figure out what to write about and how to say it. I want to look into Walt Disney and how Disney has influenced culture and its role in media and the war. And also look into the allegations about Disney as I heard he was a secret Nazi or something and did some secret agent work. Something definitely worth finding out and also see if those subliminal messages in the animated movies were true.

Oh yeah about the ESC comic, its coming along fine, about 45% of the next page of comic pages is about complete and 2 new pages have been updated to my site.


In gaming news I bought Sonic & the Secret Rings for the Wii to see if this game can rekindle my faith in Sonic but it kinda did but it was a bit dodgy for me. The game play is ok as you can run and stuff, especially with the soul gauge but the story was so cheesy and Sonic’s acting was a wooden as Pinocchio driving a wooden car. Sonic tries to hit on with some female genie talking about friendship and stuff that makes it looks like a plot out of Sonic X. And instead of wishing for hankies, Sonic could have asked Ass-shara to make Erazor Djinn nice ( who has the voice of a cheesy announcer or car salesman, his Japanese voice sounds better) and return the Arabian nights, or have the world rings already and then leave him alone. And it never really explained how Sonic got that magic ring. Probably from old peddler who told him it brings a terrible curse but he didn’t really care. Its like some ripoff of Sonic movie madness or something. Ass-Shara wasn’t really helpful though, shes like a combo of Tikal, Navi and Princess Elise ( who I hear likes to snog dead hedgehogs). And she does the ultimate game plot cliché at the end that probably most characters do in games and movies.
Some missions were pretty simple and quite fun but others were a pain in the anus like racing a Navi ripoff called Uhu. It does remind me of some of the Mario missions but at least Koopa the quick and that racing dude in Mario sunshine were decent. I wanna get out a shotgun and nail that blue hovery thing. I know that the levels become more easier if Sonic equips certain skills which makes me think that theres some RPG elements snuck in there. Be better if you can equip them all but they become useless at the end as I had to fight one of the most hardest final boss fights who I call “Alf” or “Alvin” and although Super Sonic is not here this time, this new version which looks like some angry echidna with rings and things is not so powerful and can be easily killed if you slip up. Basically you have to charge up the soul gauge before Alf throws a DBZ attack at you and I was trying to move my wiimote like a maniac till my arms hurt whilst Alf throws everything under the sun at you. I only got as far as the first or second round so I decided to give up for a while.

FINAL VERDICT 6/10: this game is pretty decent in gameplay but the storys a bit cheesy and the skill thing makes the game challenging. So its good but not brilliant. Lets hope they don’t screw up with Sonic RPG and Sonic unleashed.. oh well roll on Mario Kart Wii.

So at the moment I’m replaying Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. So I’m I’m doing the Orc campaign and I’m playing as Gromm Hellscream whos camp is now overrun by Night elves who cheat as they use a very powerful centaur called Cenarius and I got PWNED in under 9 mins..ruddy night elves.

So before I leave here is a link to a hilarious game review site called Zero Punctuation as it has animations of this guy who talks really fast and full of sarcasm like some teacher and he reviews recent games in the most hilarious way possible.

So that’s it for now, I hope you all have a nice April.

P.S somebody is gonna be 22 on the 20th this month. Can you guess who?

P.P.S The Doc is coming back this Saturday, and I think hes gonna take on some cute little blobby men.
