Um… did I miss something here? So let me get this straight, Thanksgiving is only 1 and a half days away… and stores are already celebrating Christmas… Why? Granted, I love Christmas, ALOT! It’s a great holiday, and it brings people together with gifts and food and gifts and love and… gifts… anyway bottom line, I love it. But come on people, we hardly need to get everything set up a month before, it hasn’t even been Thanksgiving yet. One holiday at a time please! But, I suppose it’s just the Market’s way of saying “Give me more money.”

So yeah, life’s kinda boring right now, I haven’t had a full school week in quite a while, so we do very little in school right now, it is really more of a waste of time then normal. It snowed today for about a good 2 hours, and hard! I almost thought we were going to be sent home early, but then I remembered, my school sucks. Screw student safety, we can just blame it on the budget not being high enough! (Yes, my school really is like that.) But yeah, I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving this year, it’s going to be different from usual because we are bringing our family to a fancy restaurant instead of holding it at home, which I am very happy for. Preparation’s a bitch. XD Well, life goes on, see ya next time.

If Final Fantasy and Pokemon ever had sex, I am pretty sure that “Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker” would be the offspring.  Granted, I am an Squenix fanboy, but that doesn’t change the fact that this game is pretty awesome!  The game plays like any other Dragon Quest game, the only difference being you don’t battle with humans, you battle with the monsters of the Dragon Quest series.  The environments are all 3D which is awesome for a DS game, not to mention they are pretty detailed, and there are tons of monsters to battle and scout.

The battling is downright cool.  Every monster has their own abilities, and just like in other Dragon Quest games, as you level up, you get skill points to aquire new skills, or powerups.   Not only that, but the Scouting system is pretty creative.  Instead of games like Pokemon where you weaken the monster and catch it, your current Monster party will try to impress the monster by showing them how strong they are, so the stronger your monsters, the higher your chances of Scouting the monsters!  I haven’t played too far into the game yet, but it looks like it will be alot of fun, and of course there is WiFi!  Online battles, YAY!

Now to get back to the game, latta guys!

PS. send my your friend codes if you have this game, I’ll be starting WiFi soon!

I seriously don’t update this thing enough. XD

So, currently in school, I am taking a computer seminar class, which means I get an hour and a half every day to do whatever the hell I want as long as I “learn something”. So, I thought it would be cool to work in LUA, and create something 3D for the PSP. After much deliberation, I decided to create a Random 3D Maze Generator, I call it MazeGen3D (Lol, aren’t I original).

I originally thought this would be a small project, and I would move onto something else soon after, but this project has been so cool, I am defiantly seeing this one through till the end. Here’s some screenshots of what the newest released version looks like:

Currently it can:

• Create Random Mazes ranging from 15-100 x 15-100 blocks big
• Render them in 3D form
• Listen to MP3s as you play
• Save Created Mazes

I’ve gotten many cool suggestions though, and right now (in the build I’m working on) I have added some cool stuff such as a PacMan Mode, where the player goes around the maze collecting all the dots and avoiding the ghosts (or eating them of course).

And of course some other cool stuff, that no one knows about yet. If any of you out there have a hacked PSP, go check out this program and PLEASE tell me what you think, I promise it will only get better.

You can find out more and download it here!

Now if you’ll all excuse me, I’m off to play more Metroid Prime 3.  Cheers!
