Ammunition > Heroics

So I was trying to find this microphone so I could record new stuff for the Hobgoblin I did for Egoboo... and I knew it was in this one box with a ton of other stuff I kinda wanted too (like computer joysticks and other stuff, I dunno). So I went into the garage and after a ton of searching discovered it was in the most inaccessible place ever, pinned in by boxes and furniture on all sides. There wasn't any room to move the furniture, only the boxes, so I had to kinda crawl between tight spaces and nudge stuff around and.... Boy, it was complicated. Anyway, I FINALLY got the box out, and it turns out the microphone isn't even in it. That annoyed me, a lot. That's about it, I guess. A rare look into my actual life. Because really, I don't do anything interesting; I don't even have school stuff to go to, and I don't have any friends to do things with. So it's pretty boring. Now this is where you feel sorry for me and start actually reading my blog!!

Speaking of which, we still need more people for the Arcane Labyrinth thing. We only have four, counting me, and that's pretty boring, so everyone join and all that.

And now for your bi-semi-de-para-meta-annu-cent-weekly Smash Bros. update. So it was delayed again, as I'm sure those of you who care about it know. Normally when stuff gets delayed I'm like, "OK, well, now I know it's going to be better than it would have been, so that's OK," but it seems this delay is totally for localization; Japan only got a one week delay.
There is good news though; a handful of media people apparently got a hold of it, and Famitsu gave it a perfect score, which is pretty rare. Famitsu is a Japanese gaming magazine that's pretty much considered the authority for all game reviews or something, even though apparently they're all really short (I read a translation for SSBB's and it basically said "This game is awesome. The end."). The really cool part about this is that they also released (or, rather, I think, will be releasing soon) some kind of 200-page guide, and personally I can't wait until the full character roster is leaked. Not because I can't wait to see what cool surprises are ahead, but because I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that there are probably only like four other characters (and all from the older games, most likely) besides the ones they've already announced; I just want to know about it and get it over with.

More happy gaming news is that I have some new games to look forward to that actually have set release dates.
Firstly, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (Yeah, I know; long title, right?) is coming out in March. This should be pretty cool; I really enjoyed the first one because it had great multiplayer, and this one seems to improve on the one-player mode.
N+ is coming out in March. N is this great platformer with ninjas and robots and explosions and unique geometric-al weird graphics style and all kinds of other cool stuff. It's actually free and runs in flash; check out metanetsoftwares.com for the download. Metanet has a development blog for the game at IGN now, which is superawesome. They're doing a "Q&A" section apparently, and if they pick your question you get a free copy of the game or something. They said it could either be a really good one or be so stupid they had no choice but to answer it, so of course I opted for stupid.
" Robots are awesome. And ninjas are like, totally, completely, undeniably awesome. Are you afraid that your game will be so mind-blowingly awesome that people's brains will literally explode and you'll get sued?"
I imagine that aughta do it.

Anyway, I got to thinking today about "sub-languages." I decided I needed to post a little guide/overview to/of three of them.

PIG-LATIN.
"Pig-Latin" sort of works in text, but is better for speech. The way it works is you take off the first sound (or sometimes just the first letter; e.g., just "t" instead of "th"), add "ay" and put it at the end. If it starts with a vowel, you just put "ay" at the end of the word. So this is how it would work.
This sentence: "My name is not Charlie!" becomes...
This sentence: "I-may ame-nay is-ay ot-nay Arlie-chay!"

OB.
This pretty much only works in speech, so I'm going to have to spell my examples phonetically. So how this one works is actually pretty simple, but if people are talking really fast you pretty much can't understand a word of it unless you know "Ob" really well. All you do is add "ob" before every vowel. So...
This sentence: "You are a lunatic." becomes...
This sentence: "Yah-boo ah-bar ah-buh lah-boo nah-bah tah-bik."

LEET.
This really doesn't work in speech at all, only text. Essentially how it works is that some letters (or sometimes all letters) are replaced with numbers symbols that look like the letters ("E" becomes "3," "t" becomes "7," "M" becomes "|\/|," "p" becomes "|o," etc.). It's really more like a form of slang, too, because then it also puts "'d" at the end of all past-tense verbs, adds "-age" to verbs or adjectives (or even nouns) to make them nouns, and does things like turning the suffix "-er" into "-zor." So, for example, it might look kinda like this.
This sentence: "Haha, I win!" becomes...
This sentence: "1 4m 73h |ownz012, n008!!!!!!!1"
That still may not have made sense to you, so I suggest you look up "leet" or "1337" on Wikipedia or Google or whatever.


I know what you're thinking; "Wow, that was stupid." But, hey, I bet you learned something, and now you can understand all those people who were annoying you before. Plus, it was something to throw in there so I can just pretend I don't have room/time to finish the list and my story.
(In English, that means that's the end of the post)
