So because Shukaku (my beloved laptop) rather old (4+ years) and making grindy noises of DOOM -- I have a tendency of frying the motherboard of every laptop I've ever owned -- I got myself one of the nifty portable hard drives to back everything up on. It's 320GB and supercute and I got it for practically free. ♥

See, because Circuit City is going out of business, you can't use the Circuit City credit card anymore. However, my mom's card had a TON of reward points on it. So we were able to redeem those points and I used the gift certificates to get my harddrive. ^^ Mom wanted a camera, but there were like, no good ones left when we went. XD! Lucky for me.

Anyway I have decided to do my backup tonight -- 26.2GB of files! -- so Shukaku and the new harddrive (I haven't named it yet, though it might be Gaara, since it is red) are currently grinding away with the backup. But now Shukaku is running hot (which... isn't all that unusual these days =__=) and I'm sort of afraid of running too much at once (poor lack of RAM) and making him crash. That and the dial-up is being crap about me being on AIM for some reason and won't connect. Grrr.

In other news, I have managed to finish playing Ninjatown, which is AWESOME if you like tower defense-type games. It's soooooooooo cute. And hard. D: I'm currently replaying the levels I got bad rankings on (you can rank A through E). There is seriously one level I've played over 20 times, and I still can't get better than a C-rank. ToT Maybe I'll write a review of the game if people are interested.

... what I love most is that the Anti Ninjas are orange. It made the Naruto fangirl in me squee in geeky joy. Anti Ninjas are stronger than the regular Wee Ninjas because they don't focus on being stealthy. LOL. But they are slow. Socute.

For Rune Factory 2, I have reached Spring of Year 2. I have decided to marry Dorothy. But I think I'll hang around to see the weddings of other couples first. I still need to collect stuff for moving onto the second generation anyway.

That's enough babble for now, I think.

In the absence of anything interesting to babble about (because my life is horrible monotony and dullness and emo currently), I give you Nintendo's list of release dates for Nintendo DS games. There's a bunch of interesting stuff there that I've already put on my wishlist of games to buy (when I have monies, of course).

In no particular order, the games I want to get my greedy little hands on are:

-- Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades (I KNEW they weren't going to waste the guitar grip and were going to release more GH games for DS!)
-- Shaun the Sheep (looks interesting since it's from the guy who made Wallace&Gromit, but I will wait for reviews/info first)
-- Puzzle Quest: Galatrix (who doesn't love playing Bejeweled?)
-- Spore Creatures (also interesting though I'll wait for more info/reviews first)
-- Elebits: The Adventures of Kai & Zero (looks supercute, will wait)
-- Rollin' Rascals (SUPERCUTE FAT ANIMALS YOU ROLL AROUND. I MUST HAVE IT)
-- Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon (I like the original Rune Factory, and in this one you get options to play either a girl or boy, then it goes on to the next generation a.k.a. you play your kid)
-- Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat? (I like the idea of a portable cookbook, though I would wait to buy this one)
-- Ninjatown (NINJAS. CUTE NINJAS. I MUST HAVE IT)
-- Big Bang Mini (looks like a fun puzzle-ish/arcade-ish game, and who doesn't like fireworks? Will wait first though)
-- Final Fantasy IV (DEFINITELY WILL WAIT FOR REVIEWS; I want to play this, but I heard the gameplay would be SUPER hard. T_T)
-- Away: Shuffle Dungeon (not announced yet since it's still in development, but it's a dungeon crawler with extras thrown in)
-- Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise (not announced/still in development, but I happen to like the God-game kind of things)

As you can see, there's a lot of games that I want but very few that I'd snatch up immediately. I prefer to wait and get more info and read reviews about a game... especially if it's going to be on the higher end of the price scale.

... and yes, I'm still shameless. Click my egg.

Adopt one today!


EDIT....

It grew up! Yay! Nao click mah hatchling plz~ ♥

Just a little news/geekery roundup, since apparently, I am a news source. XD;;

-- Don't forget to get your legit Deoxys from GameStop. It's happening this weekend and next, all you addicted Pokemon fans.
-- Toys R Us will have its annual Buy Two Get One Free Sale for Nintendo DS games next week. This is a good way to build up your game library if you've been waiting... but sucky because all the new games are coming out in like, July. LOL.
-- The Spore Creature Creator comes out today, for all you guys who like to create your own creatures and such. There's a trial demo version that's absolutely free and has about 25% of the full version's stuff, so you can have fun messing around with that.
-- NINJATOWN, BITCHES. ♥ ♥ ♥

And on a personal note, I have spent most of my giftcard already. ^^;; I bought:

-- Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Of course I did. :P
-- Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Official Strategy Guide. So I could get the free shipping. Strangely enough, this hit my doorstep today but the game is still in transit.
-- A new cute top, since I wanted to buy clothes.
-- A pair of denim crops, to go with the top. >_>;;
-- A wing charm necklace, to round out my order. I think it's pretty.
-- And I think I still have like... $4 left on the giftcard. XD;; Maybe I'll buy a smoothie. GAMES, CLOTHES, AND FOOD. I DID IT AAAAAAAAAAALLL.

Yeah. I'm absolutely not believing ANYTHING ANYONE SAYS on LJ today.

Also...

Ninjas > Pirates

and

Yondaime > Kyuubi > Itachi

It makes sense. Really.

I have found, quite possibly, the best library food. You know, food you can secretly eat in the library when you're not supposed to be eating food in the library. I snatched a bag of Dove chocolates (they're all heart-shaped and pink and white foil for Valentine's Day) from home and smuggled a sandwich bag of them in my bookbag. Now I have some in my pocket. They are perfect. I just have to unwrap the foil and pop the chocolate into my mouth. Don't even need to chew (which is suspicious), I just let it sit in my mouth and melt. ♥

Of course, I'm only going to such trouble because I'm planning on having a late lunch, because I'm staying at the library until 6 or 7pm. I haven't decided yet. I also have a heating pad strapped to my lower back, because I've been achy like you wouldn't believe. Though, this might be explained by the fact that it is overcast and cold and windy today, and it looks like it might rain. Yes, I get achy when it rains. STFU.

I think I'm in some sort of Bar Exam denial right now. Really. But if you talk to me about, I'm liable to rip your head off and feast on your entrails. =D
