Tuesday Evening Open Thread

by Alxala

There’s not a whole lot to report on tonight. San_San and I went to grab groceries from Fred Meyer this evening, and then we got home and went through the whole receipt to check for bought items before putting them away. I guess that shopping trip went really quick. 🙂

And for now for no apparent reason here’s this adorable photo of Morty resting on the wooden chair:

This looks like a job for Dash and Roxette!

Instead of playing some games on my Nintendo DS emulator, I decided to create two of my new avatar characters in Scribblenauts this evening. They’re Dash and Roxette, the two brave superhero siblings who look like Maxwell and Lily:

Definitely an adorable superhero duo. 🙂

Pikachu, I snooze you!!!

by Alxala

I dug back into some Pokemon Diamond on my Nintendo DS emulator last night, and I managed to defeat two more Gym leaders known as Maylene and Crasher Wake (more like Crasher Cake 😛 ). So far I have obtained four badges and made some good Pokedex progress by catching various types of Pokemon that I haven’t even seen in-game before like Skorupi and Carnivine (both located in the Great Marsh) 🙂

Now I just need find a way to get to the Team Galactic HQ so I can search for Dawn’s Pokedex, which she accidentally dropped on the ground somewhere in Veilstone City and was stolen by Team Galactic. Uh-oh!

But either way, it was fun destroying opposing trainers and Gym leaders. 🙂

MOAR WAR PAINT!!! YAAAAAY!!!

by Alxala

I sold enough trading cards this to buy a couple of War Paint tools from the Steam Community Market and add them to my Team Fortress 2 inventory:

And here’s two more of my War Paint weapons that I’ve received:

Oh, I also bought a Radigan Conagher Brown paint tool and applied it to my Sky High Fly Guy for the Soldier:

It’s a perfect color for a leather pilot’s hat. 🙂

Sunday Garage Wood Work Open Thread

by Alxala

I’ve been doing some wood sawing in the garage lately with the help of my dad. He needed me to get this done so he can use the bandsaw to cut the pieces of wood into wooden arcs. I snapped a picture of them right here:

He’s gonna be using them to put together an outdoor decoration for a house owned by a friendly person whose friends with some friend of ours. Either way, it was a really good wood sawing workout. It helps me build stronger muscles. 🙂

Some Awesome Fun with Pokemans Diamant

by Alxala

I downloaded a Nintendo DS emulator from the website called DeSmuME the other night, and I also downloaded some ROMs that include Mario Kart DS, Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, etc. 🙂

I decided to test out the emulator by going on a quest in Pokemon Diamond:

It’s a game where you play as either Lucas or Dawn and you set out on a journey to catch new species of Pokemon from the 4th generation and the other three generations back, talk to people especially the ones who give you special items, and battle against other trainers and gym leaders. So far not only have I caught a bunch of Pokemon, I also managed to defeat the first two gym leaders which are Roark and Gardenia:

I even stumped the two female Team Galactic commanders known as Mars and Jupiter:

I’d say this is a really fun Pokemon game for me. Oh, and what I like about this game are really cool 3D graphics, and new Technical Machines (or TMs for short) that contain some moves that I haven’t even heard of before such as Stone Edge and U-Turn. 🙂
