<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cJPZYgraswM" width="560"></iframe> </center>
<br />
Hello everybody, and welcome to another announcement video, this time I have two really big announcements that I hope you guys will be excited for. One of which as you can tell from the title is a giveaway so stay tuned for that, but the first is the Extra Life charity. <br />
I have been a participant of Extra Life since...well for three years so what extra life is for those of you who don't know is its a charity that gives money directly to UNM and other children's hospitals. All of the money goes straight to them, none of it goes to me, and all of it is tax deductible for you guys. The whole point is to get gamers to encourage other gamers to donate money to these children's hospitals and I think that is an amazing and awesome thing to do. So, I will be again participating, I don't know if I'm going to do a stream this year but I do have the link to this in the description of every single one of my videos if you would like to donate and that is awesome if you do. Remember, none of it goes to me, all of my donations that uh, you guys use through my link go to UNM Children's Hospital. My link is <a href="http://extra-life.org/participant/lea2017">extra-life.org/participant/lea2017</a> which should be right here and also in the link below--the description below. <br />
So, with that covered, let's talk about what you guys came to see: the giveaways. I will be doing not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 giveaways before the end of the year. I will be doing a giveaway per month of different steam keys. Every month I will be giving away a little bit different something, this month will be one game as will November, but October and December for the Holidays will be bundles of games. They will be slightly themed and uh...only slightly, but they should be games you will like all together. The first one, for September, is Pillars of Eternity; then for October I have a whole slew of games which I will be telling you about later; November will be NBA 2K17, and December will be another big bundle. <br />
Here's how these will work. You will go to the Gleam link in the description which is also here on the screen if It is short enough and makes sense and you will go there and It will tell you exactly how to enter. There should be multiple ways including watching videos, checking out my blog, and patreon page, etc. etc, including Daily entries so be sure to check back on that page daily all month. Now there is an exception to this rule. October and December will be a little bit different than September and November because the giveaway will be ending a few days before the end of the month. For October, the giveaway will be ending on the 29th, so I can give away the prize on the 30th, so that they have the gift for Halloween, because one or two of the games is a little bit spoopy, and in December I will be ending the giveaway on the 22nd, so that I can give it away on the 23rd, so that they get a nice Christmas or Holiday gift, even New Year's if you don't celebrate anything. <br />
So, there will be lots of stuff to do, lots of love to give, lots of games to give, and yeah, the best part about these is that there is no region requirement; you can be from anywhere in the world. I had a really successful giveaway last time and I think only one person from the US won. So I would love for this to be just as successful and just as outreaching and fun for everyone. At the end of the month, I will post a link on twitter or on my next upcoming video to the next Gleam.io link so be sure to follow me on twitter @Alias_Lea. If you don't, you might miss the link to the next giveaway so be sure to check that and I should be posting it on the 30th, 31st, or 1st. So, that's it for me today guys. I hope you guys are all very excited because I definitely am, I have a lot to give away, a lot of love to share, and uh, yeah! Let's end 2017 on a high note and I will see you guys in the next video! Bye Bye! *smooch*<br />

Thank you guys so much for your support and interest, and I hope you enjoy these games! There are a lot of them I really enjoy! Those of you who didn't win, don't be discouraged! As summer approaches, I have ideas and items for some even <b>bigger </b>giveaways! However, I'm not going to spoil them, so be sure to continue following this blog, my twitter, and the other mediums for more information!! <br />
<br />
Finally, I'd just like to talk a little bit about what today means. The blog is now almost 4 full years old, and in that time I've gone through some of the largest problems in my entire life. I have tried to keep this blog as a log of everything that happens, but some of it just shouldn't be up here alongside top 10 Pokémon lists. A lot has changed in these 4 years: friends have left, family is changing, I've moved into my own place, switched majors, begun to face my anxiety and depression, and just changed as a person in general. This year is a sad one with a lot of terrible things happening right now as they always seem to do around my birthday.<br />
However, despite this blog reminding me of different times, for better or for worse, and containing some views I no longer hold like certain game scores and whatnot, I believe it's important to show people that people do grow up, things do happen, and that's ok. Thank you guys for continuing to be interested in what some random person does and showing me the awesome support you have these past few days! I'll be continuing this blog, albeit slowly as it has been of late, and continuing to try to make the lives of others better! Thank you guys <3 Leanastahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13854490226214236557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852514309875289223.post-34966684266986553452017-05-09T23:08:00.001-06:002017-05-15T17:26:26.662-06:00[CLOSED] My Birthday, You Get the Gifts! (Giveaway!)<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello everyone! So, my birthday is coming up and I decided to do something special. I have a few extra game codes lying around! I have decided that for my birthday, I'd like to treat you guys. To be honest, I'm in a pretty terrible place in my life right now. Part of why I haven't been writing is because this past year has been a nonstop barrage of crazy crap in my life. So, maybe its time to stop putting tears into the world and make a few people's days! The best part is my birthday is right when a lot of school is starting to end, so let's get y'all stacked for the summer! So, here's the deal!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have a series of extra steam codes to some of my favorite games and a few I've never tried, but that maybe you all will enjoy! Please read through this whole page and then head over to the entry link to get started! Also, since these are digital codes, <b>ANYONE across the globe is eligible! </b></span><br />

<span data-offset-key="4iodv-0-0"><span data-text="true"> 2016 has been an intensely awful year in the real world, on both a global and a much more personal scale for me. However, this year has been an amazing one for escaping into videogames. This year I invested a lot of time and a bit of money into playing a wide variety of videogames. As with most years, I've played a lot of games from different eras, so I thought I'd do a random shoutout to some games I've been playing recently that you should check out if you need something new for 2017<b> </b><i><b>before I put my top 5 games of the year</b></i>!

<span data-offset-key="5hnlv-0-0"><span data-text="true"> Kingdom Rush is a game I've played sporadically for years, originally on Addictinggames.com, then on armor games, and now on my tablet! The game has a charming art-style, simple Tower Defense gameplay, but a surprisingly steep difficulty ramp. The game is not hard to learn or even play, but it is a challenge to master. Getting 3 stars on every level as well as the challenge stars playing them again is a real challenge, but one that is great to pop in and play and therefore works well as an app or the online save browser game. If you've never given this one a shot, you really should give it a try! Since it's release, there's been two sequels, Frontiers and Origins, which I have yet to play, but are also worth looking at. </span></span></div>

You then give these weapons to soldiers who fight their way through a horde of enemies to get you gold and more materials. The game has simplistic music and visuals that work well for the style it goes for and easy controls. However, I would HIGHLY recommend playing this game with a mouse, not a tough pad, as your placement of objects is graded and the touchpad is near impossible to get perfect scores with. The game also has hidden combos of hilts, metals, and pommels that will increase the power of your blade or grant it advantages like bonus attack against certain enemies or even increased luck! This game is short and best played in a short burst one or twice a year. </span></span></div>

While the game has infamously lost a huge portion of it's followers due to its rocky start, I have been using it as motivation to park further from my classes and walk to them as well as take short walks. I haven't really done any huge walks to get a ton of Pokémon, mainly because our weather went from burning hot to way to cold in one day, but I like to use it anytime I know I have a little ways to walk, and the Halloween and Holiday updates have been really nice! Here's some footage I never posted from back in the summer right after it released when my town did a huge Poke-walk! We had somewhere around 200 people! </span></span><br />

Now we're getting into the big leagues! While the previous games have all been Indie titles, Hearthstone is a card game produced by Blizzard, the creators of the likes of World of Warcraft, Diablo, and another game that will be appearing on this list ;) You have probably already heard of Hearthstone, but it is a virtual card game featuring the characters from the Warcraft world. The nice thing is that the cards and playable characters have enough personality and memorability that you do not need to have played any other Blizzard game to play this one! I started playing Hearthstone a year ago and finally got back to playing it and I'm really enjoying the new gang based cards that are out right now! The best part is that its rules are very clear and the game tells you if you can do anything else before ending a turn to help out new and old players alike.<br />

The second and not last Pokémon game on this list, Pokémon Picross is something totally different. Like Pokémon Trozeii or Shuffle--both of which are also great games--it is a completely different style of game with Pokémon characters. Picross is a Sudoku like game in which you use counting and logic to create the picture of, in this case, over 300 different Pokémon! As a kid, I loved when we got assignments in kindergarden like this, but I never knew it was an entire genre of game until just recently! Pokémon Picross is a great diversion, however the pay-to-play model can be extremely frustrating as you need "picrites" to open new levels. However, even going back and doing old levels is fun and it's great for when you have about 5 minutes and a fast mind. </div>

I never played Roller Coaster Tycoon as a kid, usually tending towards edu-tainment computer games or Barbie Ice Skating and what not. However, ever since I've watched YouTube, I've heard of Roller Coaster Tycoon and with the release of the $45 Planet Coaster, I decided to finally try out a coaster tycoon game. Lucky for me, <a href="https://www.humblebundle.com/" target="_blank">Humble Bundle</a> got me this gem for less than $1! The game is immensely simplistic, but also extremely difficult on later levels. It's a nice thing to derp around in, but is obviously not on par with newer roller coaster tycoon-esque games. However, it is an absolute steal for $1 or even $5. I actually enjoy the simplistic 90s artstyle as it displays everything you need it to nice and understandably. I have never made a "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2FsijfbtmQ" target="_blank">death park</a>," but I can see why people would and I most likely will be making one soon enough. It's nice to see how mechanics from this game such as adding benches and trash cans to reduce fatigue and trash carry over into the modern era of roller coaster games and I've seriously enjoyed this game.<br />

I had never heard of Stardew Valley until it's release in February this year, but it has apparently been in development since as early as 2012. I have never played the Harvest Moon series, but if you are even a bit of a fan of those, this is the perfect game for you. The game is actually much deeper than you'd expect. Aside from farming, you can go adventuring into caves, fishing and mining, find and unlock new areas, complete quests, play a few in minigames at the Saloon, and, of course, get married! The game is also amazing in that you are able to marry anyone that is your age and is therefore listed as "single." This means you can marry and have kids with someone of the same or opposite sex! Furthermore, I'm not sure if all characters sexual orientation changes to match yours, but the character Leah mentions having an ex girlfriend. I personally married Sam, the guitar playing super-saiyan skater boy with the heart of gold. Your significant other helps on the farm and often gives you gifts or words of encouragement, which is exactly what I want from every game. I will admit that it was hard to get back into the game after taking months off from playing it, but it was just expanded in November, so if you're like me and haven't touched it in a while, try again! Tons of stuff has been added and the game is really fantastic. I suggest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyUMz-1LmKE" target="_blank">watching this series</a> if you want an idea what the game is like!<br />

I've really enjoyed the careful planning and yet fast-paced gameplay, the artstyle and old west style music, and the Hard Mode!<br />

As always, I preordered the latest Pokémon game as soon as it was announced. I <a href="http://meplusfree.blogspot.com/2016/05/pokemon-sun-and-moon-all-is-revealed.html" target="_blank">posted my initial thoughts,</a> many of which I still agree with, and many of which I am happy to say I have changed. I am surprisingly in love with this game in a way I haven't been since Pokémon Diamond. The game is gorgeous and unlike Gen 6, I actually enjoy the 3D models. However, I'm VERY annoyed that all Pokémon have a 3D model and yet they can't walk behind you! Like, come oooon!! Otherwise, I've done a relatively good job of not spoiling the game, and so whenever I catch a Pokémon, it's a surprise! For the first time in years, I don't know what every evolution looks like or what Pokémon's types are, so I am carefully constructing my teams. The game has a lot of great features such as the Refresh mechanic, Poke Pelago, and Festival Plaza, bringing back and expanding upon many of the things I've enjoyed in past games, especially 5th Generation. The game does lag on old 3DSs, which is frustrating, but on a New Nintendo 3DS, it plays and looks like a dream. I am not very far in it yet, but I'm having a great time with it so far, more so than any game in Gen 6! <br />

Darkest Dungeon was crowdfunded and release in January this year, but I didn't discover it until about a month ago thanks to Northernlion and ProJared on YouTube. The game is a gorgeous 2D dungeon crawling rougelike in which the game autosaves at every action, so there is no room for recklessness. The most interesting feature is the stress mechanic; darkness, backtracking, and certain enemies inflict stress onto your characters. If the stress reaches 100, their "resolve" will be tested. Some become virtuous and calm down, often calming others in the process. However, most of them will freak out and take on negative characteristics, like yelling and stressing out their teammates, resisting healing, or passing on their turn completely. The game is tough and has a lot of subtleties to it, such as high level characters refusing to go on low level missions, so you must make sure you have enough low level heroes, or finding the best way to relieve each character's stress. The $25 is a bit steep and I managed to get it on sale for about $11. If you can find it for close to $15, it is a must have if you like turn based combat with a varied team. (I personally like to have a Vestal, Houndmaster, Highway man, and Crusader left to right if you were curious!) <br />

In case you haven't guessed, I do not like first person shooters. I normally go for story heavy platformers or strategy games, with only the occasional game like Splatoon mixing that up. However, after being urged by a friend, I bought Overwatch in August and have since become the Overwatch team coordinator for my eSports team. With bright, colorful visuals, engaging characters with a wide variety of playstyles, and constant updates, Overwatch has absolutely stolen my heart. Though like any game it has problems, such as the balancing of loot boxes and the online bigots, it also has a kinder side to the community, committed to having a good time. I personally enjoy playing as Junkrat and Lucio as, not only are they attractive, but they don't require regular shooter style accuracy and have fun mechanics like laying traps or healing with music. I never thought I'd enjoy a game without a single player story mode, but this game has proven me wrong and provided me well over 23 hours, which for me is a lot. Not to mention, while writing this I popped into the game, got 5 free Loot Boxes from Blizzard, and got SANTABJORN! YASSSSS!!! </div>

<br />
First off, let me explain. The Binding of Isaac Rebirth, a remake/remaster of a 2011 game created by Edmund McMillan (creator of Super Meat Boy), was released in 2014. Then, in 2015, the Afterbirth DLC was released on PC when I started to play it, but it wasn't released to Xbox and PlayStation until 2016, so I'm going to count it as such. Furthermore, Afterbirth + will be released in early January 2017, so this game is just a constant! The Binding of Isaac is most likely in my top 3 games of all time, and the Afterbirth DLC is a must have. I have over 450 hours in this game (most of it in pause screens and on the menu screen TBH, but still) and still play it while I watch YouTube. The game is a Legend of Zelda one style dual stick shooter with hundreds of items and item combinations in a strange, gross world. This game is definitely only for those 13+ if not 17+ based on the horrific designs of the enemies alone, not to mention two levels taking place in Isaac's mother's womb. What makes the game even cooler however, is that the playable characters and many of the bosses are based on Biblical characters, stories, etc. I never read the whole Bible as a kid, but I've been inspired to go google who Isaac was, why characters like Eve have the items they do, and so forth. Great music, great visual style, and nearly endless playtime, all in one great game. Sadly, the game has a terrible, unplayable lag on battery power, even on the strongest laptop I've ever had, but when plugged in, it plays like a dream, or maybe more like a nightmare with how hard it can be. If you're interested, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M78vS_8xa9I" target="_blank">give this series a glance</a> and enjoy this Indie gem!<br />

Moving on, about my life! So, I'm all moved into my apartment and have been for a little while, but I have little to no internet! It goes in and out constantly and can barely upload mp3s, let alone mp4s. Meaning, my YouTube is probably going to be a bit dry for at least one more week :( However, when I have internet, I have tons of videos to upload! I have a lot of ones to film and edit as well. Until then, you guys can hear my voice as <a href="https://www.castingcall.club/m/leanasta" target="_blank">I audition for all sorts of parts on Casting Call Club</a>! You guys can upvote my auditions and give me feedback, which would be great! I was already cast in one production which is an Ace Attorney fanfic!<br />

Just had a sudden mini thought on the new fire starter, Litten! I've already talked about them so check out <a href="http://meplusfree.blogspot.com/2016/05/pokemon-sun-and-moon-all-is-revealed.html" target="_blank">this post to read all about the Sun and Moon news</a>, but I just had a cool thought. What if Litten evolves into a fire tiger? We've had a few cats before as well as a lion, but we don't really have ANY tigers! The stripes in it's head and the bands on its legs could be the start of some larger stripes! If so, I would definitely have to be team Litten! If anyone is good at art, I'd love to see some fanart of what you think Litten could look like when it evolves!Leanastahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13854490226214236557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852514309875289223.post-16268236573686337362016-05-10T11:43:00.000-06:002016-05-10T12:03:31.803-06:00Pokemon Sun and Moon: All is Revealed! So, it looks like Generation 7 is truly around the corner for Pokémon fans! As you all know, Pokémon is probably my favorite franchise of all time and I have really enjoyed it for a long time. However, after all the <a href="http://meplusfree.blogspot.com/2013/09/pokemon-x-and-y-part-1-facts-and-my.html" target="_blank">hype for Gen 6</a>, I felt it was a let down. I will say I really enjoyed Froakie and Fenniken as well as the legendaires, Xerneas and Yveltal. I even have a Fenniken plushie! I am not the biggest fan of Mega Evolutions, and I find them a little frustrating. I'd prefer to give some Pokémon full fledged evolutions, but some of the Megas do look really cool. <br />
But we aren't here to talk about Gen 6! We're here to talk about EVERYTHING the newest trailer for Pokémon Sun and Moon has to offer. For starters, have a look at the trailers yourself!<br />

<br />
<b><u>The Alola Region:</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Let's start by talking about the region itself. Many of us have long speculated it would take place in a Hawaii based region and I am relieved we are right! I personally love the tropical and water based Hoenn, so a Hawaii based region is awesome! I love the bright red flowers and greens an blues and it has a very nice overall feel to it. However, the graphics look....weird to me. Though the battle animations looks SMOOTH AS BUTTAH which was definitely an issue in Gen 6 with constant lag, the over world seems...pixelated. I can't exactly place it, but the character model doesn't seem to really look like it's IN the environment. Otherwise though, I enjoy the combination of modern cities with these nice small huts and more natural segments.<br />
<br />
It does look a little small to me however. I hope that, like Hawaii, Alola consists of a series of islands, and that it makes sure to retain some of the geographical diversity that makes Pokémon of many designs and types reasonable. <br />
<br />
<b><u>The Characters:</u></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaDxCJQoNIOVj402zSgPsQzx-TwZVA-jVQsLbT9x4vLwCi8J3pSKrIoO5dZHq6lp9kT8l5U_zzaYHJew-yQyiZhlclelVVkhTk-jC6LCXHUgvoW2UEDlW08Qmz3DgEPHUh4UQoVrLMmw/s1600/Screenshot+%252818%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
Look like customization is back! I'm glad to see that we will be yet aga<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaDxCJQoNIOVj402zSgPsQzx-TwZVA-jVQsLbT9x4vLwCi8J3pSKrIoO5dZHq6lp9kT8l5U_zzaYHJew-yQyiZhlclelVVkhTk-jC6LCXHUgvoW2UEDlW08Qmz3DgEPHUh4UQoVrLMmw/s1600/Screenshot+%252818%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaDxCJQoNIOVj402zSgPsQzx-TwZVA-jVQsLbT9x4vLwCi8J3pSKrIoO5dZHq6lp9kT8l5U_zzaYHJew-yQyiZhlclelVVkhTk-jC6LCXHUgvoW2UEDlW08Qmz3DgEPHUh4UQoVrLMmw/s320/Screenshot+%252818%2529.png" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a>in having some options <br />
for protagonists. I think that the guy is pretty attractive (especially the 3rd one for some reason). The girl is pretty cute, but I hope I can have green eyes! None of them see to :( I hope that it allows for the same drastic amounts of customization that Generation 6 did, so that I can make one a little more like me. My favorites are probably the 3rd boy and 1st girl. <br />
<br />
Also in the trailer, we see a shirtless guy! And shirtless guy seems to be the new professor since his name is Kukui which is a type of tree! He may not be Professor Sycamore, but he definitely seems like a handsome and charismatic guy. I do have to say it is a little bit of a strange trend that the Pokémon Professors have been seemingly getting younger and more attractive? Just something to think about. Also, the boy in the yellow shorts who seems to be our rival seems like a cool guy! I'm VERY happy to just have ONE rival again. I'll be honest, I hated the huge cast of Gen 6 because they were all either boring and generic, or very annoying like Shauna. I HOPE it is just that guy. Also, I personally thought rivals worked best when they were, well, rivals. I was most motivated to beat them when it was that jerk face Gary Oak or the evil(?) Silver! I understand why they would move more towards friends, but that's just my personal preference.<br />
<br />
If the Japanese trailer was any hint, I would like it if our character was new to the region and this guy was nice enough to be our first friend! This would be very reminiscent of Gen 3, but seems unlikely, based on the house we briefly see in the trailers. <br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>The Starters:</u></b> <br />
<br />
Now for what you've all actually been here for! We finally got to see the 3 new start Pokémon and they are....well....they are! We, as always, have a Fire, Grass, and Water starter! Let's take a look at them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First off, we have the grass starter, <b>Rowlet,</b> the Grass Quill Pokémon. To me, that sounds eerily</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOUl1v4K5JGUkZ4auLECuBcww3z8ONkiBVMih6DYcV5f1t62U5OaF0apq_68LiKPgFwpUX9NC1NOb-dS-CZwDpad7v93vhN7QRxq6UJsL_eyMpHkQkImMtbU85e-qDele4m1yMFd0kIQ/s1600/rowlett.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOUl1v4K5JGUkZ4auLECuBcww3z8ONkiBVMih6DYcV5f1t62U5OaF0apq_68LiKPgFwpUX9NC1NOb-dS-CZwDpad7v93vhN7QRxq6UJsL_eyMpHkQkImMtbU85e-qDele4m1yMFd0kIQ/s320/rowlett.png" width="320" /></a></div>
similar to the Spiky Nut Pokémon, Chespin. Rowlet stands an adorably small 1 foot tall and weighs 3.3 ibs. Rowlet is a Grass/Flying type with the ability Overgrow. Many people had speculated that the grass starter would be an owl, and here it is! My initial thoughts on it were less than enthusiastic, but the more I look at Rowlet, the more it grows on me (get it?). I think the name has a very nice, rounded feel to it that matches the little bird. However, am I missing something? I get that it is an owlet, but rowlet? Rolling owlet? Round owlet? Can anyone enlighten me?<br />
<br />
I do think it's design is very, VERY simplistic and the beak is a bit weird in my opinion, but the simplicity of it's first stage may allow for a very cool evolutionary line. I like it a lot more than Gen 6's Chespin, but it doesn't shout grass type starter. I do love his little leaf bow and tail though. Since it already starts off as Grass Flying, there's no mystery that it will most likely keep that typing as it evolves. I can definitely see it evolving into some absolutely MASSIVE owl by the end of its line. I'd say it's a close choice between Rowlet and our next contestant for me.<br />
<br />
Next up, we have <b>Litten</b>. Litten is a basic fire type and is aptly called the "Fire Cat Pokémon."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsZAnbHi5kth6E88VhrX4TFgZ67mYRMK3xM_LGfoc94qXhMvYL_Ls9x_5I5BS5VxJP0QJvMfbKCbDR3PJO3L1jM0b0f3t4SMM7_1gZNuV2KpdYZWbufTiQ9myuvSbL2XnY0LYpjSM-tA/s1600/litten.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsZAnbHi5kth6E88VhrX4TFgZ67mYRMK3xM_LGfoc94qXhMvYL_Ls9x_5I5BS5VxJP0QJvMfbKCbDR3PJO3L1jM0b0f3t4SMM7_1gZNuV2KpdYZWbufTiQ9myuvSbL2XnY0LYpjSM-tA/s320/litten.png" width="320" /></a></div>
Litten is 1' 4" tall and weighs 9.5 ibs with the ability Blaze. I personally love the idea of a fire cat Pokémon, however I think I love the idea more than the design. While Litten has some nice elements to its design, I personally am not a fan of "stone faced Pokémon" that are only depicted as grumpy. (OMG GRUMPY CAT THE POKEMON CONFIRMED) There is something about it's face that just doesn't sit well with me, especially when you think of how cute just normal kittens are. It might be the way the eyes are, making them look so gloomy, or something like that. However, since there is a lot of black in this design, we can hope to see a dark fire type which would be awesome! I'm personally a huge fan of dark type Pokémon, of which we don't have a lot. Plus, Litten and Houndoom on the same team would be a pretty awesome combo. <br />
<br />
I will admit I'm a little afraid of what this one will evolve into. While I think Delphox is alright, I personally don't love the way it turned out. I hope that Litten can evolve into something very cool, but distinct. Though I like Pyroar's design, I ant Litten to have a very cool, unique evolution, so I'm curious how that will turn out. Finally, I want to point out how much I love those little spikes on its back when it arches up like a cat does. That is a perfect touch! <br />
<br />

Popplio sta<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZb6LQxyt669KkUXCKeEAUJM3xuHZdIUX8tXXedY2C9hijW1QxNtnMFvAAiBRDvQ3IVdjkAjwooebfCqbVaiiSxwlyIBNCl9kRHmYb26sovcGToGIjCTXSO6wS3uAT8Ie9Nuk3khpP8w/s1600/popplio.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZb6LQxyt669KkUXCKeEAUJM3xuHZdIUX8tXXedY2C9hijW1QxNtnMFvAAiBRDvQ3IVdjkAjwooebfCqbVaiiSxwlyIBNCl9kRHmYb26sovcGToGIjCTXSO6wS3uAT8Ie9Nuk3khpP8w/s320/popplio.png" width="320" /></a>nds the same height as Litten at 1' <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQuAZpdnqqY&list=PLEXzgrPkT-mUNKSvyB7uNw_Z90VZC8IHx" target="_blank">I suggest this video</a>, so go ahead and check that out. Popplio gives me flashbacks of Oshawott, which is not a good thing. The little guy is cute, but obviously the clown Pokémon and looks more like something from a 1940s cartoon. I personally adore sea lions, and I'd like to see this guy evolve into a majestic Milotic sort of creature that sheds its once weird shell.<br />
4", but weighs 16.5 Ibs. and has the ability Torrent. Let's be honest. Popplio looks like a fan character. In fact, all 3 of these guys do. If you want to see some really cool fan designs and see if you like them better, <br />
<br />
Overall, it is my least favorite, but I'm sure some people will like it, and I am curious about where they can go with this guy. I hope they stay away from a clown Pokémon route because I HATE CLOWNS. <br />
<br />
<b><u>The Legendaries:</u></b><br />
<br />
Honestly, I prefer the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kri5WhR6hQ&index=1&list=PLEXzgrPkT-mUNKSvyB7uNw_Z90VZC8IHx" target="_blank">fake leaked box art for these legendaries</a>. These two have no names as of <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GBP2GyfPBu1nStIRp_w4YTzxywvaORYqasmUUVcZ_HtVrOaffMHcj5iIw7TQieq5AqPWVIXuPdszauvbuB9j7nKe99796hEwrRGTF93GGDh4yPVYsp79pmO2_3qX8VEgL28soYMU1w/s1600/legen.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GBP2GyfPBu1nStIRp_w4YTzxywvaORYqasmUUVcZ_HtVrOaffMHcj5iIw7TQieq5AqPWVIXuPdszauvbuB9j7nKe99796hEwrRGTF93GGDh4yPVYsp79pmO2_3qX8VEgL28soYMU1w/s320/legen.png" width="320" /></a></div>
yet, but they honestly don't sell it for me. Pokémon games are basically sold by whatever legendary is on the box, and for the first time ever, I can't decide which one I want because I don't really like either one. Now, the Hawaiian goddess of the moon, Hina, represents feminity as juxtaposed to Ku, representing masculinity. While the moon Pokémon here does seem to have some feminity to it, it still would have been cool to see a gardevoir esque Pokémon and a machoke like Pokémon or something. I will probably end up with moon because I like the design just that much more, but that is really not saying much. We still don't know these two's names or where they fit in the greater mythos of the Pokémon world.<br />
<br />
Finally, we have not seen some of the locals and other things we saw in the very first trailer, such as the wireframe bird Pokémon they were working on, so there is still much more to come before November! As always, these are all my <b>opinions</b> and by no means have to be yours! I'd love to know what you guys think about the games from these trailers and what starter you're thinking of! Thank you guys so much for reading!<br />
<br />
Also, this Sunday is my birthday! I will try to have at least something up on here or YouTube for you guys as we celebrate 20 years! Woooooo! See you all then!!<br />

It's St. Patrick's Day yet again! If you live in the U.S, more than likely you associate the day with drinking, green, corned beef and cabbage, and all things Irish! Well, I have some different feelings of the day. Let's start with a history lesson for anyone who doesn't know the real origin, and then I'll talk about my connections!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The History:</span><br />
St. Patrick lived in the 5th century, meaning a lot of what we "know" today is speculation and taking the word of documents from well over a thousand years ago. He was born in the 4th century in Roman Britain to a Christian deacon and his wife. At 16, he was kidnapped by traders and sent to Gaelic Ireland as a slave where he worked as a shepherd until he "found God" and ran away to return home. He later returned to Ireland to convert people to Christianity and run the druids out of Ireland. That's right America, we've been lied to. The "snakes" St. Patrick drove out were the druids! IRELAND HAD NO SNAKES! I feel betrayed. <br />
Anyway! In the 17th century, it was declared that March 17th, the day of his death, would be a day of feasting and celebration. Fun fact: though we usually associate the day with Green, traditionally Irish Protestants also wore Orange! The Shamrock, an iconic symbol of the day and the country, was supposedly used by St. Patrick to help explain the holy trinity to the pagan Irish since it has three distinct leaves (Not the "lucky" four leaf clover). There is also a tradition in which a shamrock is placed in a glass with whiskey, cider, or beer. You then toast to Ireland, St. Patrick, or the people in the room, and drink--you either swallow the shamrock or toss it over your shoulder for good luck! We have now decided this will be one of our traditions in the family! <br />
There is actually a lot more interesting stuff to learn about, so I highly suggest at least skimming<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick%27s_Day" target="_blank"> the Wiki page</a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">For Me:</span><br />
Now, my family is practically famous for it's inability to use the proper word for things For <br />

example, my sister called a veil a "bride net" and my mother called the garbage disposal the "sink chop." As a little one, I thought the day was PINK Patrick's day. Ever since, we have incorporated pink into it as much as green. No Green? Pinch. No Pink? Poke. Both? You owe me a coke! (I maaaaaay have combined two very different traditions). One year we even had a cake with pink frosting and green edging and lettering! I also try to be very careful to wear both colors. Note the pink in the sweatpants I wore last year. <br />
Also, my genetics consist of from 60-75% Irish at least, most being directly from Ireland. I did an entire research prject about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newgrange" target="_blank">Knowth, Dowth, and Newgrange</a>, and I'm even thinking of studying abroad in Ireland next spring or summer at Maynooth! When I was probably in middle school or so, my mom bought me an emerald Claddagh pendant necklace. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claddagh_ring" target="_blank">Claddagh rings</a> are a traditional Irish accessory (since 1700) symbolizing love, loyalty, and friendship, often used as engagement rings or given from mothers to daughters. Not only is it an awesome piece of heritage, but the Emerald is also my birthstone. <br />
So, while to most people St. Patrick's is a day of parades, drinking, and celebrating a guy most people think got slithery little reptiles off an island, to me it will always be a day of traditions--old and new! I'd love to know if you guys have any wacky traditions or house rules you implement! Leave a comment below or tweet me <a href="https://twitter.com/Alias_Lea" target="_blank">@Alias_Lea</a>, or really just talk to me on any social media!

Today, Twilight Princess HD for Wii U released in the U.S! Now, as I've mentioned before, Twilight Princess is one of my <a href="http://meplusfree.blogspot.com/2013/10/happy-halloween-part-2-pictures-and.html" target="_blank">favorite games</a> of all time. It holds a lot of memories for me, <a href="http://meplusfree.blogspot.com/2014/01/pokemon-and-me-part-3-georgia-and-nick.html" target="_blank">specifically sitting on the couch figuring out the puzzles with Seth</a>. I wanted to preorder the game as soon as I hear<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYqAct-RKrQZ_IOqtOa_NwX0qZ3lZPcPH6mQWnGnUwlcpX0Fb4d4KqC7KuJRcj44ansR2KL68RnB0LUC2jGz7LspljrnHvsotqG_75NTAv_yTO67paRVrDadMQYN6ZMNqcEksHoNb1OQ/s1600/twilightprincess.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>d about it at the Nintendo Direct last year, but I guess I forgot to finish my order! Luckily, a few days ago, I check amazon again and found it still in my checkout box so I bought it and got free standard shipping. They told me the game would arrive on the 10th. NOPE! Here it is in all it's glory!! Now, I'm not a huge fan of HD remakes, but what sold me was the Amiibo. Compared to the first run of amiibo, Wolf Link and Midna are extremely solid and well crafted. It actually has some weight to it! <br />
Now, why is Twilight Princess my favorite? Because of Wolf Link, of course! My whole life, wolves have been my favorite animal. As a kid, I knew very little about the Legend of Zelda; the first game I played was The Minish Cap which I love. Then, I got Twilight Princess. The extremely handsome protagonist was not only epic, but TURNED INTO A WOLF! How cool is that?! Furthermore, when I was in New York back in freshman year of high school to sing at Carnegie Hall, Joellen and I stopped at the Nintendo Store and saw an awesome foot tall Wolf Link statuette that cost something like $400+. Ever since, I've always wanted a replica, and now I have one that fits right next to my other amiibo! I am also in the market for some Zelda and Ganon amiibo so I can make a nice little display shelf once I move!<br />
