Not anticlimactic or anything

As far as I can tell, that really is it. In reality, I only spent about 25 hours total over all three games.

"Only"

Let me show you them

Well lookee here, I'm finally posting again. If you couldn't figure out from this blog's extensive archives, I tend to have short periods of intense productivity followed by months of neglect. Circle of life, etc.

While reading the following post, please keep in mind that I am currently an unemployed 22-year-old male, and then keep your opinions to yourself, thankyouverymuch.

It is tradition in my head to play from the beginning (and beat) a pokemon game every winter around Christmastime. I can't quite remember how it started, but it is safe to assume that it was a Simpler Time, none of this "493 pokemon" shit. In my day we had 150 and we liked it. I have played through either pokemon red, blue or yellow probably a dozen times in my life, but I have never gotten close to "catching em all." This winter's playthrough also corresponded with a nasty cold, so I figure if I'm stuck inside here, I might as well try for glory.

Here are my stats so far:
Seen: 143 150
Own: 120 150
Time: 65:20 (note: I run my gameboy emulator between 300-400% faster than normal, so I haven't actually spent over 65 hours on this. I'm not completely insane.)

Here is my to-catch/evolve list (0 remaining):
bulbasaur
ivysaur
venusaur
vileplume
meowth
persian
arcanine
polywhirl

Again, 22-year-old unemployed male.

And lo, it was Good

A true story, based on the previous comic, obviously.

Not recurring characters

So, anyone seen that Jersey Shore show? Yeah, me neither. I hear it's awful, though.

Yoda Review: The Body

Well, it is certainly recognizable as Yoda. So it's got that going for it. The real product doesn't quite pop as much as the pattern reference, but that was probably wishful thinking to begin with.

Pic2Point is the online service I used to make that pattern. Since it's free, I can't really complain, but it made some very questionable color recommendations, as well as very questionable representations on the reference pattern itself. I may be colorblind, but even I can tell these are not the same. Which means they're probably even more terribly matched than I think.

Body Done

Next stop: Text-towne.

I speak fluent French

Vous de le coeur? Jeux fromage, poisson incroyable. Faux faux faux.

See? Mayor of Paris, right here.

ANYWAY, I made some crepes.

Ingredients assembled. Booze!

Crepe batter has to rest for an hour or so after mixing so the bubbles can dissipate. Sound food science, yes, but I WANT CREPES NOW.

Cooking away.

Check out this PHAT $TACK of CREPE$.

NOM.

Cookbook, stack, and rolled.

Crepes are So Choice. If you have the means (i.e. flour, milk, eggs, nonstick pan), I highly recommend cooking them up. Pretty much all recipes are more or less identical; this one seems good. Remember to leave time for batter resting!
