I'll get around to it eventually…

Wild Mass Guessing …or would it be Wild Single Guessing?

For those of you who don’t know what Wild Mass Guessing is, this website explains it and has a ton of it: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WildMassGuessing?from=Main.WMG

I’m gonna have a go at it on two Subjects: Ganondorf in Melee and Brawl & Haruhi Suzumiya

Ganondorf:
(This is based off his appearances in Ocarina of Time, Windwaker, Four Sword Adventures and Twilight Princess)
In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ganondorf fights unarmed dispite the fact it is obvious that he has a sword and this has perplexed a fair few fans. Here’s my theory: he got smart

Before people start screaming at me for saying that, hear me out: Whenever Ganondorf or Ganon has been a final boss, he’s been armed, be it with Trident, Dual Swords or Magic Sage Sword. He also lost badly against an opponent that he’ll face again in Melee and Brawl.
He has however won: before the final battle in Windwaker, he beats Link to death with his fists! Before anyone says that it doesn’t count, it does because the King of Hyrule had to ask for a do-over to give Link and Zelda a chance.
And before anyone points out that Ganondorf was double teamed in that fight, there was a part where it was just Him and Link swordfighting. Besides he could easily get double teamed in Melee and Brawl.
As for not using his energy ball attack, although it appears to be his only ranged attack, it does appear to hurt him more than his target due to the fact that it is easily reflected.
(This theory is based on Windwaker coming out before Melee, if it didn’t then it just goes for Brawl)

Haruhi Suzumiya:
(Ignore this if you don’t know about The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and don’t care for Manga, light novels or anime. Otherwise I suggest you do a bit of research before reading this)
Haruhi Suzumiya is supposedly a reality warper that doesn’t know about her powers. My theory: She does, she justs plays ignorant.
Think about it: there are clues for her to see, some in plain sight such as how various changes happened during the filming of The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina and the fact that she seems to be talented when it comes to everything short from social situations.

For her to be oblivious to everything that’s going on means that she has to be on the verge of stupid, extremely ignorant and the inability to be aware of what is going on around her. We are shown that this is almost the complete opposite for her, therefore she’s faking the obviousness, she is well aware that she has superpowers and that most of her friends are ‘special’. Either that or she is deep in denial.

My theory is that during that ‘three years ago’ in Tanabata, Haruhi discovered her powers and did what most people would revert to, world domination.
She was happy as Empress until her Empire revolted against her for reasons she couldn’t fathom. She constantly tried to fix her mistakes and remake reality over and over until she got it right, except she couldn’t, and the stress of constantly losing those who were close to her (The respective members of the SOS brigade) was getting to her so she pushed the ‘reset button’ and decided to feign ignorance about her powers and be ‘normal’. There was some things she couldn’t leave, her love interest / fiancé / etc (kyon), her maid (Mikuru), her advisor / second in command (Itsuki), and her bodyguard (Yuki). So she gathered them with her interests (Aliens, espers etc), and formed the SOS brigade. This is the reason why she ‘recognised’ Kyon and responded to him and not her classmates.

Haruhi’s reset button is pointed out by the different stories of Itsuki, Yuki, and Mikuru: Something big happened ‘three years ago’ and Haruhi was the cause of it.

…I probably should have meantioned that there are spoilers in this about the two topics.
Does anybody know how to correct the time of when the blog is posted?

Awards, Fake Stig and Steam trains

Today has been special and busy for me. I had an award ceremoney at school then watched Sunday’s Top Gear (Recorded on Sky+)!
I effectively got two awards for doing volunteer work with the younger years, which I decided to do because it seemed interesting and I was the person who devoted the most time (All my free periods and three lunchtimes) which I had decided to do simply because I knew that I wasn’t going be productive with the time anyway.
Then: STIG IS NOT MICHAEL SHUMACHER! He should remain the mystery that he is, for that makes him awesome, that and his lack of caring or appreciation of anything (that can be guessed seeing as you can’t tell his emotions).
Finally the kick-ass Train won the race, so Yays all round!

Pussy blue shell

Blue Shells
If any of you have played any of the Mario Kart series (Specifically Mario Kart 64, and Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario Kart DS or Mario Kart Wii) will know what I’m on about.
They were easily the best weapon in Mario Kart 64, then it got wings…
For those of you who don’t know what I mean: The original blue shell was like a red shell that went for the leader, it didn’t die if it hit anything else which it did, often. However now that its been given wings, it just flies over all the possible targets.
I don’t like this because to me, the idea of the blue shell was to create a path to first place, clearing out obsticles and opponents, not to bombard first player.
It has now become effectively useless to the people most likely to get it, if I was trawling around in 8th place I would want something like a starman or Bullet Bill, I wouldn’t give a damn about first place, because he/she’s too far ahead to concern me when I get the damn thing. Any useful effects the shell would have would be removing things like banana skins, except because the tracks have been made larger to accomedate (I know I spelt that wrong) the extra racers, any items left on the track are easily avoidable, making the winged shell completely redundant. "Ooh, look! First place has been stopped for 5 seconds. it doesn’t affect me because I’m too far away(!)".
The only people who benefit from a blue shell nowadays are people in second or third place who left First get a bit too far ahead.

Tryin’ out blogin’

Righty then, I’m new to this bloging thing so I will try update it fairly often with random news and Youtube Video Updates!
First off: Playthroughs: Either Paper Mario: The Thousand year Door or Metal Arms: Glitch in the System.
I’m leaning towards Mario because I’ve already got some Glitch up, but it is a bit slow so… yea…
Anywho, I am currently trying to sort out a date to continue recording Four Sword Adventures with Costars: Ross, Jo3K94, and BadShotMike which I know went down well.
I think that’s it, might try to get a capture card for better recording quality with videos like Brawl and Glitch
See ya
