It's certainly been a while, hasn't it? :P

I apologize for my extreme lack of activity in the past few months, I've been busy. Also, the computer I'm using isn't exactly the best in the world.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, my 4 year Gamespot anniversary, even though it was about a week ago. :P I don't have a whole lot to say about it. I guess I'll say thanks to all of my friends on the site (I'd name all of you, but that would take ages). Sorry I'm not doing a whole lot for my anniversary. :P I do have a few countdowns planned for the near future, so look forward to those. I suppose I'll just give an update on what I've been doing for the last two months.

Games:

I'm still working on completing Xenoblade Chronicles. I love this game, but it's VERY long.

I got Bayonetta a little while ago for really cheap. I haven't played a whole lot of it, but it's pretty fun.

About a month and a half ago, I got the Platinum Trophy for Sonic Generations. I had some trouble with the "Can't Touch This" Trophy. :P

I bought Persona 4 Arena around the time it came out, and it's a great game.

I had a friend recommend me Blazblue, and I still need to get it. From what little I've played, it's pretty fun.

I've been playing numerous Pokemon games in anticipation for Black 2/White 2 next week, which I have pre-ordered.

Anime:

I haven't watched very much at all over the past few months. Cloud has recommended me Madoka Magica (I hope I'm spelling that right), and I still haven't watched it. I should probably get to that. :P

Music:

I bought History Repeating: Blue by The Megas when it came out a few months ago, and I love it. The Megas are a great band.

I've been listening to various other artists for a while, including Anamanaguchi, The Living Tombstone, Alex S., Aviators, and Prince Whateverer (no, that's not a typo).

Other:

For a while now, I've been using Reddit, which seems to eat up more free time than I'd like it to. :P I'm particularly fond of subreddits r/Pokemon, r/Fallout, r/CircleJerk, r/Technology, and r/funny, in case anyone else who uses Reddit was wondering.

On a completely different note, I'm nearing 200 blogs, and I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing for that. I'll think about it.

Anyway, like I said, look forward to some countdowns in the near future. (The next one I'm doing MIGHT be top 15 let's players. This may be subject to change.)

Alright, that's all I have to say. Thank you for reading, and I hope you're having a fantastic day.

Well, I gave it about a week, and now I shall answer all of your questions.

Not that many people asked anything... in fact, four people did. :P

However, from those four people, I got quite a few questions to answer, so I'm not complaining.

Q: Have you played any other Touhou games besides EoSD? If so, which ones?

A: Nope, but I plan on getting Perfect Cherry Blossom and Ten Desires sometime before summer ends. :P

Q: If you could put the universe of one game series into a different genre, which one would you pick? (for example, Touhou as an RPG as opposed to a bullet hell shooter)

A: I think that seeing a Legend of Zelda RPG would be pretty interesting, it would keep the same sort of layout that most Zelda games have (dungeons, sidequests, etc.) but the battles with enemies would be turn-based, there would be a leveling system, etc. I'm not saying it would work out, but I think it's an interesting idea.

Well, I suppose that ends my AMA, I hope you all enjoyed it, and I hope you all have a great day.

I was bored, so I thought "why not?".

Answers will be up in a few days, once I give people enough time to ask me questions.

Yes, I know I haven't made a blog in a month, but up until about a week ago, I've been pretty busy with school and whatnot.

Anyway, I asked you all if I should actually do a top 10 games of 2011, considering that we're nearly halfway into 2012, but there were a few of you who said "Hey, why not?".

Anyway, let's get started.

#10: Okamiden

It's a new Okami.... on the DS. Not a whole lot to say really. But, I had a lot of fun with this game. The controls were surprisingly good, the graphics were good (especially for a DS game), it had great boss battles, and the touch screen worked really well for the Celestial Brush. If you liked Okami, and you have a DS, you should pick it up.

#9: Mario Kart 7

Since the release of the 3DS in early 2011, it was only a matter of time before we got a new Mario Kart game. And this one did not dissapoint. Mario Kart 7 added a few new features to the Mario Kart formula, such as gliding, driving underwater, and kart customization. And I think most of the changes were for the better. The biggest problem I have with MK7 is the lack of a single player VS. mode, but it's not a complaint that extremely hinders my opinion of the game. Definitely pick it up if you're a fan of Mario Kart.

#8: Professor Layton and the Last Specter

If you didn't already know, I'm a fan of the Professor Layton series. If you already knew that, then seeing a Professor Layton game on one of my Top Games lists was probably expected. Anyway, Last Specter didn't have as good of a story as Unwound Future, but the puzzles have definitely improved. Not much else to say, really. If you like the Professor Layton games, than you'll like this, but if you don't, then this game isn't going to change your mind about the series.

#7: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Nathan Drake, aka "Not Indiana Jones" is back once again in the third installment of the series. Not much has changed in terms of gameplay or contorl since the last game, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.In terms of story, it's not quite as good as 2, but it's still interesting. If you weren't a fan of the first two games, you probably won't find much to like here. However, if you're a fan of the series, you should play it. (Although, if you are a fan of the series, you've probably already played this one. :P)

#6: Kirby's Return to Dreamland

And now for a game that everyone seems to love, Kirby's Return to Dreamland. While this game isn't doing a whole lot of new things for the series, it's still fun as hell. It's essentially a newer Kirby Super Star in terms of gameplay, and I love Kirby Super Star. One new thing that this game does bring to the table is 4-player multiplayer. The multiplayer in this game is extremely fun, and not quite as hectic as New Super Mario Bros. Wii. If you're a fan of Kirby, or just 2D platformers in general, you should definitely play this game.

#5: Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

I was kind of surprised that I liked this game so much, considering I'm not the biggest fan of fighting games (and I'm not too good at them, either). However, there was just something about this game that I found to be really enjoyable. Whether it was the characters, the dialogue, the music, I'm not sure. I do know, however, that this game is extremely fun, and any fan of fighting games should pick this up. By the way, if you have this game for PS3, and you want to see how fast you can kick my ass, let me know. My PSN ID is GoldenEyeSonic.

#4: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

And now, Skyward Sword. This game has amazing controls, a fantastic art style, interesting characters, amazing dungeons (and boss fights), and a really good story. However, for everything good that this game does, it has a lot of problems. First of all, a lot of the side quests in this game seem to be just fetch quests, which can be pretty boring. Not only that, but there are also a few fetch quests in the main story that seem to drag for longer than they need to. It's not one of my favorite Zelda games, but despite it's problems, I still think it's a great game on it's own.

#3: Portal 2

And now for one of the greatest puzzle games I've ever played, Portal 2. I LOVE this game. The dialogue is hilarious, the voice acting is fantastic, and the puzzles are amazing. One of the very few complaints I have about this game is that it's a bit short, but to be fair, it's significantly longer than the first game. Not to mention that this game has a co-op mode to extend the overall experience. However, it's recommended to play split-screen rather than online, unless you and the person online are communicating through Skype or some other form of voice chat, because communication can be a problem in online co-op without vocal communication. Again, amazing game. Buy it. Now.

#2: Sonic Generations

This game. Holy s***, this game. Where do I even begin? This game is amazing. Not only is this the best 3D Sonic game since Adventure 2 (besides Colors), this is one of my favorite Sonic games of all time. The level design in this game is fantastic. There are so many branching/optional paths to take in every level, it's ridiculous. The music may be only remixes of older songs, but all of the remixes in this game are really well done. Sega made the right desicion making Jun Senoue the musical director in this game. The controls, while a bit stiff (in 3D), are a definite improvement over Colors. This game does have a few problems, however. This game can be beaten in about 5 hours or less, depending on how well you can beat the stages. There are a few other problems I could list, but I'll go into further detail when I make a full review for this game. Either way, you should buy this game.

#1: Pokemon Black/White Version

Some of you probably saw this coming. To some of you, it's no surprise that I love Pokemon, and Black/White is no exception. The battles are fast-paced and fun, I really like most of the new Pokemon designs, the characters are interesting and well-developed, the music is catchy and memorable, every town has a unique theme, and this is also the first game to feature animated sprites (which is awesome). However, this game has a few problems. First of all, The region seems a bit linear. It's impossible to get lost in this game. Also, there are more than a few towns that don't seem to serve any purpose other than having a gym. Basically, not a whole lot of towns have a lot to do in them. There are a few other nitpicks that I have, but I won't go into much further detail. I'm hoping that Black 2/White 2 fixes some of the problems I had with this game, but overall, Black/White is an amazing game, my 2nd favorite generation of Pokemon, and my #1 game of 2011.

Anyway, I really hope you all enjoyed my list, and I hope you can forgive it for being five months late. :P

Like I said before, I'll be willing to fight anyone that wants to fight me in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, although I'll probably lose.

That's all I really have to say for now.

Good bye, and I hope you're all having a great day.

First of all, I'd like to say I'm really sorry I've been gone for so long.

I know I haven't posted a blog in a long time (exactly four months), but I have a good reason.

My laptop has been facing some (presumably) virus-related issues, and I've been trying to get it fixed for quite a while now.

So until I get a new laptop or my old one gets fixed, my sister was kind enough to let me borrow her laptop for the time being.

But to be honest, I've been using my sister's laptop for about a month and a half now, and I've been pretty lazy about blogging, so I apologize for that. :P

Getting back to the subject at hand, today is my 17th birthday! :D

I got Kid Icarus: Uprising, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and The Jak and Daxter Collection.

I also finally got a second PS3 controller, a Wii Classic Controller Pro, and Spaceballs (which is an awesome movie) on Blu-Ray.

I played a bit of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 earlier (as well as playing it at a friend's house yesterday), and I'm really enjoying it so far.

For those who actually care, the three characters I usually use are Deadpool, Morrigan, and Zero.

On a different note, I got Xenoblade Chronicles on launch day a few weeks ago, and I've been loving it so far.

I have about 25 hours clocked in that game.

I definitely recommend this game to anyone who has a Wii and is a fan of JRPGs.

I know I said a while ago I would do my top 10 games of 2011, and if any of you still want me to do that, I will, because I never got the chance to do it beforehand. :P

The only reason I'm asking is because 2012 is already 1/3 over, and I thought it would be a bit late to do a 2011 list.

Again, if any of you still want me to, I will.

Anyway, that's all I really had to say.

I hope you all have a great day, and I will see you all later.

First of all, I'm sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I've been pretty lazy about it. Plus, I've had a lot of school work to do. But now I'm off for Christmas break, so I have more free time.

Second of all, I'd like to say Merry Christmas to all of you, I hope you all have a great day. :D

I'd also like to mention that I got a PS3 today.

My PSN ID is GoldenEyeSonic.

As for games, I got Sonic Generations, Uncharted 3, Ratchet: All 4 One, LittleBigPlanet 2, and Kirby's Return to Dreamland.

I'm loving Sonic Generations and Uncharted 3 so far, but I have yet to play the others.

Also, I will be starting my top 10 games of 2011 on the 27th (I won't be here all of tomorrow).

Anyway, that's all I really had to say.

Again, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, and I will see you all the day after tomorrow.

As some of you may know, I am a fan of anime.

But what's my opinion on American cartoons?

Well, they aren't as good as they used to be (or at least most of them aren't).

So in this blog, I give you my top 10 American cartoons of all time.

Keep in mind that this is my list, therefore it is my opninion.

I am entitled to my own opinion, just like everyone else.

Just please respect mine.

So without further ado, let's get started.

#10: Invader ZIM (2001-2002, 2006)

Is there anyone that doesn't love this show? This show is just plain funny. But why is it so low, you may ask? Well, I can't help but notice how the episodes without GIR just aren't as funny as the ones with him. Would I say GIR runs the whole show? Maybe.

#9: Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999-2002)

This show scared the s*** out of me when I was a kid. :P But what I found scary back then, I seem to find hilarious today. One of the best shows on Cartoon Network, and it makes me wish the still aired reruns on TV. But sadly, they don't (at least where I live).

#8: Futurama (1999-2003, 2008-)

This is Matt Groening at his finest. Definitely not the best show I've ever seen, but still pretty damn funny. Why is it so low? Well, the newer episodes just aren't as funny as the older ones. Granted, I still find the new episodes enjoyable, just not as much as the ones from 10 years ago.

#7: Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008 )

Now for what is, in my opinion, the best show ever put on Nickelodeon. Ever. I know people are going to say something like "What?! Why isn't *other Nickelodeon show* here?!" Again, please respect my opinion. I love this show. The action, the story, the humor, everything. But it's this low on the list because, well, I prefer all of the other entries above it. :P

#6: Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends (2004-2009)

I almost immediately thought of this show when I decided to make this list, mostly becaus I loved this show when I was younger. But considering I haven't seen this show since the series finale in 2009, I wondered if I loved it as much as I used to. So I went to watch a few episodes on Youtube. While I don't love it as much as I used to, I still think this show is awesome. Craig McCracken, you sir, are a boss.

#5: The Powerpuff Girls (1998-2005)

Craig McCracken strikes again! Yes, unlike some people, I actually love this show. To be honest, I don't know why some people seem to hate it. There's action, great voice acting, great humor, what's not to love? I guess it's all a matter of preference.

#4: Dexter's Laboratory (1996-2003)

And now for another show I grew up with. Like Foster's, I had to look up episodes on Youtube to see if I loved it as much as I used to. And y'know what? It's just as amazing today as it was eight years ago. Definitely one of the funniest shows I've ever seen, Dexter's Lab deserves to be on my list.

#3: Johnny Bravo (1997-2004)

Johnny Bravo is a badass. No questions asked. I loved this show when I was a kid, I just can't believe it took me seven years to realize this show is about sex. The sexual innuendos are EVERYWHERE in this show, and knowing this actually makes the show that much funnier. :P

#2: Ed, Edd n Eddy (1999-2009)

I watched the hell out of this show when I was a kid. I can honestly say I've seen every episode of this more than just about every other show I've ever seen. This is, without a doubt, the greatest Cartoon Network show of all time. The humor is amazing, the writing is great, the characters are funny, the voice acting is great, I love everything about this show. The only downside to this show is that the later episodes, while still great, aren't as good as the the ones in the first few seasons. It's great, but what could beat it?

Well...

...

...

...

...eeyup.

#1: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (2010-)

HATERS. GONNA. HATE.

Some might say I'm obsessed, and I don't deny that. EVERYTHING about this show is AMAZING. The animation is near-perfect, the voice acting is amazing, the writing is fantastic, it's hilarious, the story is very interesting, the characters are extremely loveable, the list goes on. This is the greatest American cartoon I've EVER seen. EVER. Lauren Faust, I applaud you on making such an amazing show.

And for those concerned, my favorite pony is Fluttershy. :3

Again, this is my list, so please respect my opinion.

Anyway, that's it for this list, I hoped you all enjoyed it.

See y'all later.

Hello all, I'm back.

This blog is my announcement that I am, in fact, getting back into the habit of blogging.

Anyway, about the title.

Three awesome new shows I've been watching recently.

#1: Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

This show is like Powerpuff Girls on f***ing steroids.

This show is about two girls named Panty, who is obsessed with sex, and Stocking, who is obsessed with sweets. They are angels that have fallen from heaven, and in order to get back, they need to collect a certain number of tokens (or heaven coins), which they obtain by defeating ghosts. I'd take the time to explain more, but I think you should just watch the first episode, which can be found here.

#2: Sgt. Frog

Sgt. Frog is a show about an alien-frog creature named Sgt. Keroro, who is on a mission to take over earth. Despite this being his main objective, he seems to be distracted very easily, and seems to often fail his different plans. Again, just watch it.

#3: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Now before you start jumping to conclusions, let me explain why this show is good.

1. This show is created by Lauren Faust, who also did work on Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. (To be honest, if it were made by anyone else I probably wouldn't have watched it in the first place.)

2. The art direction and animations in this show is surprisingly very well done.

3. The characters are well fleshed-out throughout the series.

4. Actually GOOD humor. This one really surprised me, considering most American cartoons today just flat-out fail in this department.

Anyway, if you want to, here's the first episode. I will say this show isn't for everyone, however. This is just my personal opinion. And if you do watch it, I must warn you the first two episodes are much different from the other 24. So try to get to at least episode 3 or 4 before you actually guve up on it (that is, if you don't like it).

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I wanted to say that I will be on vacation for the next week.

The place I'm staying at, however, has wifi, so I will be online for the next week.

I won't, however, be on from 2 am tonight to about 8 pm tomorrow.

Btw, I finally changed my theme for the first time since January. :D

And if you haven't figured it out by now, it's Sgt. Frog.

Anyway, that's all I have to say for now.

Bye. :P

I'm kind of late on this, but here are five games from E3 I'm most excited for.

#5: Uncharted 3

(sorry, I couldn't find a good picture :P)

#4: Paper Mario

#3: Super Mario

#2: Zelda: Skyward Sword

#1: Sonic Generations (HD)

Hopefully I'll be getting a PS3 before summer ends, but I don't think I'll get one until August. (I have driver's training for the next two weeks.)

Anyway, those are the games I'm most excited for.

As an update on games, I've almost beaten Ocarina of Time 3D.

I'm up to about 85 skulltulas and I've gotten every piece of heart in the game.

The fact that you can just press a button to put the iron boots on and off make the Water Temple A LOT better.

Now, the Shadow Temple is my least favorite dungeon. :P

I don't have anything else to say, so...

Bye. :P

Yes, today, 20 years ago, Sonic the Hedgehog was releasedto the world.

And because of that, here is my top 10 Sonic games.

#10: Sonic CD

#9: Sonic 1

#8: Sonic Rush

#7: Sonic Heroes

#6: Sonic Advance 3

#5: Sonic Rush Adventure

#4: Sonic Colors

#3: Sonic 2

#2: Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

#1: Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Yep, that's about it.

Again, happy 20th to Sonic.

Let's just hope Sonic Generations will be good. :P
