ALPHAOMEGA247'S PROFILE

Who even decided that durian is edible?! I mean, it smells awful and is covered in spikes! That just screams "NOT EDIBLE" to me! XD

I'm no fan of Christmas, either. I'm as unreligious as they come, I hate shopping for gifts and I hate receiving them, too. Nobody does anything nice for me any other day of the year; why the fuck should they feel obligated to do it now?

But most of all, I hate seeing my family. My mom's family mostly consists of farmers. The majority of them don't even know how to turn a computer on and everybody is either much older or much younger than me. So I have nobody to talk to and I basically don't exist for those few hours.

And then there's my dad's family... Ugh. Nobody likes anybody. Everybody is overly critical. My aunt is always going on about how you don't need to know what happened during the "Pearl Harbor War" because stuff like that isn't important... One really needs to focus on finding fair trade products and free range organic chicken eggs and making sure that you keep a cup of water under your bed at night to collect evil spirits (and flush it down the toilet each morning). And then there's grandma... Oh man. Instead of just handing out gifts, she always has to turn it into a very, very stupid game. Last year, you had to roll dice. And if you got a seven, you got to go up and pick a present from grandma's pile. If you didn't get a seven then you had to pass the dice on to the next person and hope that you eventually got a seven........... :| After about half an hour, everyone had a box, and then we all had to watch as all the young crickets opened their present. And of course, every box was empty, save for a Grandma Gift Certificate, which you had to turn in to Grandma as proof that you won the game. And then you'd get your envelope with $10 in it. Fuck my life. Thankfully, because most everyone hates each other, these gatherings are mercifully short.

Also, I work at a grocery store and it's fucking busy this time of year. People are rude, and think I can conjure everything they need out of thin air. (I always laugh at the idiots who buy a giant frozen turkey the day before Thanksgiving. Yeah, it'll thaw in 12 hours. Sure.) I know it's awful, but when people ask me to find something for them in the back, I just go back there, mess around on my phone for a few minutes, and then come back and tell them that "No, we don't have any more cans of peas."

Yeah, wake me up in January.

Oh, and by the way, Zenobia's Grave is epic. I've had that in my playlist for years and years and years.

The Wii U is definitely getting an update of some sort, because that Miiverse stage is on the way. And, the game is already on version 1.01.

I dunno, I didn't feel the other stuff was crappy. Just not what I had hoped it to be. It's all fun to run through once but after that I don't imagine ever going back to it. Maybe they knew most people focus on basic smash so they didn't bother spending too much effort on it. Still a shame, but yes, forgivable.

Is Robin the one with the book? I didn't understand the moves and they didn't seem that great. At one point I couldn't do a down B anymore. I havn't played as Shulk at all but my friend did. Seems cool that he has different modes, but his moves seem to be big slow power shots.

Favorite stages: Super Mario Galaxy

It's got a weird new angle for projectiles, eh? They go up at an angle. Plus it's a decent stage overall.

Crappiest Stage: The Great Cave Offensive (WAY TOO BIG)

I would say the large levels are meant for large battles. So for what they are designed for, it works well.

1. "Crappy" might have been too harsh a word. Nothing in the game is crappy except for the stage builder parts. "Disappointing" is probably more apt.

2. Robin is the one with the books. Just like in the Fire Emblem games, if you use an item too many times, it breaks and you can't use it anymore, so if you spam Robin's attacks, they'll eventually break and become unavailable for awhile. Not really a problem for me, though, as my numerous deaths grant me a fully refreshed Robin with great frequency. The magic works best when you charge it, but I mostly rely upon his sword.

3. Funky projectiles is one of the reasons I love the Super Mario Galaxy stage. My friend uses Zelda all the time, and her usually lethal final smash is almost worthless on this stage because the arrow veers off at that odd angle.

4. Even for large battles, I don't like the Great Cave Offensive. The camera is always pulled so far back, it's really hard to see what's going on. Maybe it's Nintendo's way of telling me I need an 80 inch TV. Or glasses.

And it's not only "Do X with Character Y," a lot of them make you do it 49 times on an insane difficulty. Most of the rewards aren't even worth the effort.

Also, I just love it when you're fighting Master Hand and Crazy Hand, and Master Hand unleashes an attack that drives you into the ground and then Master Hand immediately starts throwing those slices of cheese at you. And then the little cheese platforms rise off the screen and there isn't anything you can do about it because you're stuck in the ground.
