How much Mass Effect is too much Mass Effect?

Hey all, Aggroe here!

I've been swamped this week! Just been working a lot so I'm exhausted, I also adopted a cat who's pretty whiny and hates not being pet at all times, so she's been keeping me up ALL NIGHT! So sorry I didn't post yesterday or the day before, but I'm good to go now and I have a three day weekend so tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday I will for sure post something :)

I'll start off with the 30-day challenge, so without any further ado...

Here's day 3: a game that's underrated!

I have a hard time with this one too. There are so many good games out there that aren't necessarily popular, but are still fantastic! I would probably have to pick Katamari Damacy though. It's pretty wild, wacky, colorful, and absolutely ridiculous but satisfyingly so!

If you still aren't convinced, go ahead and check out this video, of the intro. Go ahead, I'll wait.

...

Welcome back! So story wise, the King of All Cosmos (the man featured in the video with too-tight tights) knocks all the stars and planets out of the sky, and YOU, his son (the Prince of All Cosmos), must fix his mistake!

By rolling things up on Earth, you create planets and stars to replace the old ones. I really love the literal translation of the title, because in English the literal meaning of "Katamari Damacy (Damashii if properly written) is "Round Soul Clump".

If you haven't played this game, I recommend checking it out for sure! It sounds dumb but it's actually fairly challenging in later levels and a lot of fun!

Aaand now day 4: my guilty pleasure game!

For this category, it's not that tough to pick. The game is: Monster Girl Quest!

I actually love this game so much that I named my snake after the main lamia; Alipheese Fateburn the 16th. (We call her Alice for short though, just like the game). I don't actually want to give much away, but what I can tell you is it's kind of funny how I stumbled upon this game.

Initially, it was curiosity and slight disgust. "How in the hell can people have a fetish for this, isn't it just a step above furries?" It turned into mild enjoyment. "Huh, the way this game works is actually really nice, a cool twist on rpgs with higher stakes, has fantastic dialogue and a hilariously dumb main character, and it's actually, dare I say it, kinda sexy in a weird way that makes me slightly uncomfortable". Once I hit the end of the second game though, and the FULL story was revealed, I fell in love with the characters and noticed as the trilogy went on all the character development. And ultimately, you won't believe me unless you play it yourself, but the game has a deep storyline and is all about how if we try and understand each other, no matter what our differences are, we can learn to get along and treat each other with respect.

Pictured; best snek speaking the truth

That image is fairly late game, I think it's between mid 2nd game and mid 3rd game, but could be later.

Welp I'll finish defending nsfw games now I guess :p though I will never stop loving MGQ!

And now, day 5: game character I feel I'm most like

I would have to say that this is a tough choice, just because even though I can relate to characters there aren't a lot that I feel I'm like.

But if I had to pick, I would say that I'm kind of like Fox McCloud (in Starfox Adventures, specifically) without the badass-ness.

He's sassy, sarcastic, and would rather blow shit up (because it's faster and more epic) than sneak in the smart way. He's not the brightest bulb in the box, but he always has a snappy comeback. Also he doesn't put up with people's shit, if someone irritates him it's obvious.

SO the rest of my post (since it's already long) will just be gifs that I find funny that are from Mass Effect. I discovered these first few the other night when I was looking for a good picture of Garrus. Just observe and enjoy~

So there's those things to enjoy. I laughed harder than I should at all of these!

And finally, this video is fantastic~ I'm still on a Mass Effect kick and recently beat the 3rd one, am getting into Andromeda. This DLC is probably my favorite of all of the DLC I've played so far, especially the dialogue inside the vault!

Anyways, I hope you all have a splendid night and sweet dreams~ Eventually I'll post shit other than Mass Effect. Look forward to it, readers~

Are Coloring Books Nerdy? Are Aliens Taking Over the Blog??

Hey all, Aggroe here!

Today I want to talk about something that I've begun to really enjoy in the last year or so. As some of you may know, I like to draw a LOT. However it's so time consuming and I'm not always in the right state of mind for it, so instead I will usually color. Now I wouldn't bring this up if it didn't relate to the blog in some way, so here's a few pictures of one of my newest coloring book!

I've started coloring in this book and it's just amazing! There are multiple different art styles and it's a lot of fun to have all the iconic scenes in your own version. One of my favorite things about the Alien series is the aesthetic, and getting to add to that in whatever way I see fit is a lot of fun. Plus I love the terror this series evokes, even nowadays it's still creepy!

So fun story time, as a kid I initially thought SciFi was boring and pointless, but when I was introduced to the X-Files and that was the SHIT! I love that show to death even now that I'm older! X-Files cultivated my love of SciFi and built up a curiosity deep within me; a drive to learn more about the world and about the universe.

The first time I watched the Alien series, I think I was too young; kept falling asleep. I didn't understand what was going on, and didn't really care. But recently I rewatched them with family and holy shit was I missing out!

So now, a bit of a tone change. I'm moving on to the 30 day challenge, and day 2 is: my favorite video game character!

Which is an incredibly hard choice. Do I go with Makoto Naegi, Enoshima Junko, Monokuma, or Fujisaki Chihiro from DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc? Or maybe a classic, like Link, Mario, or Sonic? Maybe someone from a game I've played more times than I can count, someone like Celia from Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life?

I think though, ultimately, when considering this question I have to think of what character I can relate to, what character I understand, a character who's funny and quirky and maybe a little bit awkward. Not the main character, but a character who was there for the protagonist every step of the way, no matter what. A truly loyal friend, and a brave soul. Someone who isn't afraid to speak the truth but also genuinely cares about others.

Maybe I'm biased; after all I just put about 50 hours into this series, for the third time, and beat the whole series in just a few days.

But at this time I would have to pick Garrus, from the Mass Effect Trilogy.

I like the storyline of him with both male and female Shepard. Either way they have a truly strong friendship, no matter what happens. He's loyal, brave, strong, and some of his commentary is just hilarious! Though Mordin, Joker, Dr. Chakwas, and Liara are all tied for second place. Really I just love the whole crew, especially the early ones who start and end with Shepard.

The story of the three games was executed well I thought, and I like how often the game made fun of itself, for example one of the last scenes in the Citadel DLC during Mass Effect 3 when Shepard and co are stuck in the vaults. I won't spoil anything but it's comic gold!

That's about all I have for you guys tonight, I'm pretty exhausted and have work in the morning, but I hope you all sleep well and have sweet dreams~!

Great comics and first games!

Hey all, Aggroe here! I know it's been a looong while, and I'm sorry for that! I have been doing some soul-searching and putting my life together. I'm still young though, so I've got plenty of time to learn and grow from here.

I haven't been fully honest with all our fans honestly, there's something I've known for a while but haven't come clean about... but you'll have to wait for the video for that news! Something to look forward to. I just have to edit it so it shouldn't be much longer now. :p

So for some excitement, I want to go ahead and start something I haven't done before! I want to go ahead and review a comic series I've been loving~

First of all... the title makes it sound way worse than it is. Just bear that in mind. And it's TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY NSFW and 18+!!

Just something to keep in mind.

Basically it's a story about this couple and some other people who have powers that activate whenever they orgasm; for instance, one of these 'superheroes' stops time for everyone around him. There's also some quality lines in here, for instance...

My next tattoo!

Fun fact, this issue is actually the first one that I purchased and read. I still don't have the first 11 so I'm a little bit lost, but does that really matter with quality content like this?

In all seriousness it's actually got a good story where the characters sort of find themselves and try to build happy, healthy relationships while they navigate the world and try to learn about their own special abilities. It's a weird sort of parallel to real life, where we're all trying to discover ourselves and do the best we can with what we have.

Ultimately they're working together to figure things out. I won't give away more, if you're interested though I recommend doing a search because it's really a lot of fun to read! They're pretty pro-LGBT too from what I've seen, but I haven't read it all yet so no guarantees.

On a more appropriate note, but still serious, I watched the Hunchback of Notre Dame last night for the first time and DAMN is it underappreciated! Some of the scenes and clips were amazing and still relevant today, but was also so damn dark.

This song, for example, is relevant even in the modern day!

My roommates pointed out that one great reason is that the main character actually doesn't get the girl, but she and her significant other actually end up not treating Quasimoto as a third wheel or as an outcast, but as a great friend; they've all got each other's backs.

I think we can all learn a thing or two from that!

And now, I'm going to end on a fun note! I'm going to do a 30-day video game challenge!

SO day 1 is my very first video game! Honestly I don't remember the very first, but I think it was actually Paper Mario on the N64.

This game was my childhood! I love it so damn much, even to this day! I've played The Thousand Year Door on GameCube as well as the Paper Mario on the Wii (which I wasn't as impressed with but was still fun~)

I would play this game over and over, and never get tired of it. I was a bad gamer then though, so I did struggle with it at first. Paper Mario will always have a special place in my heart!

Actually thinking of doing a full playthrough of the Paper Mario series soon and if I do, you'll be the first to know about it. Well, besides me of course~ I don't have all the systems for it right now though so I have to get at least an N64 to start.

And with that, thank you all for reading this and sticking with me until the end! Look forward to another post tomorrow, and I hope you all sleep well and have sweet dreams~!

~Aggroe~

Really strange Brock stuff... also, lots of Aggroe's favorite things and a Joey update!

Hello~ Aggroe here!
So I have a great surprise for you guys, so would you kindly read on?
~~~
Day 9: Soundtrack
So for this one, Anemone and I discussed doing something like post 4 or five songs from what our video game soundtrack would be. But I'm also going to talk about my favorite video game soundtrack!
So for my favorite, I would have to say I really enjoyed the music to Lollipop Chainsaw... A close second is Shadow the Hedgehog.

These games have soundtracks that are (mostly) a mix of hard rock and metal, which I'm not always into. But they are just so well done, and they fit the games well, believe it or not~
As for MY video game soundtrack, if I could put one together, would include these:
Mobscene - Marilyn Manson This one would probably be instrumental, though. I really like the beat, and the words are catchy too, but the lyrics wouldn't really fit the kind of game I'm going for~
Lisztomania - Phoenix Now I know this song is pretty well known, but I love it to death! It's just so beautiful and perfect~
Hello - Martin Solveig ft Dragonette Not only do I LOVE this song, but it would be a good intro to the main character, in it's own way~
I would also probably custom mix a couple of songs, and make remixes of others that I like and that almost fit alone.
~~~
And now, it's that glorious 18+ time of day...~
Aggroe's HTD!
Not gonna lie, the ending of this might confuse your little friend a lot. It's Pokemon this time around~ Enjoy reading this when NO ONE IS AROUND! It's not really that bad compared to some hentai, but it's kinda disturbing to the childhood...
~~~
Next up is the daily dose of Japan!
妄想（もうそう）
Pronounced: "moh-soh"
Romanized as "mousou"
This word means wild idea, or delusion. Could also mean fantasy~
~~~
Now, I want to talk about how my Joey challenge is going! I beat Misty today, and it was surprisingly easy... Mt. Moon irritated me, as caves usually do...~ DAMN YOU ZUBAT!
Anyways, here are the screencaps~

And then got you ass handed to you by a Rattata~

Barely made it! (PP lvs are below)

His CURRENT moveset has replaced Tackle with Pursuit

WHY IS THIS NOT A GAME!? I WANNA BE ON TEAM ROCKET! GIMME GIMME!

Beat her at level 27~ Also beat Bitch right before Nugget Bridge around this level.

All in all, I'm doing pretty well~ I decided on my moveset goals for Rattata before the Elite 4... Preferably WAY before that, though~ I think I'll do Super Fang, Tail Whip, Pursuit, and Hyper Fang. I considered Shadow Ball, but then I'd have to EV train him in Sp. Attack... Which I just might, if I feel like some grinding later on... I dunno~
The ultimate moveset, if I did EV train his Sp. Attack, would have to be Thunderbolt, Water Gun, Super Fang and Tail Whip/Iron Tail, still debating on those two... Then again, a one Pokemon playthrough really overlevels that ONE Pokemon, so I might not have to specially train Koratta at all.. Huh. We'll see~
~~~
So I see you've stuck with me this whole time~ I'm glad! This isn't all that nerdy, but I'll do my best to make it so~
Basically, even though I've been working out every day, I've only been doing strength for arms and back along with 15 minutes of cardio. That's starting to get a bit repetitive, plus I wanna try some new things~ So I made a routine for each day! I haven't finished Wednesday or Thursday yet.
Basically, every day starts with yoga, my pick. I've really been enjoying flexibility and back yoga, so I'll do some more of that~ Weight loss yoga is too painful... Way too painful...
Around noon, I head to the gym for an hour~2 hours for cardio and strength!
Finally, at night, I relax with a set of my custom workouts, each day designed to work something else. Right now I have Sexy Abs Sunday, Mad Arm Monday, Tough Leg Tuesday, Sweet Ass Butt Saturday, and FREEday!
Get it? Like FRIday? Ha, that was a pun.
Yeah, so all the names are really cheesy, I know, but... I like it~
Also, Freeday is like the other days, except the daily workout is a combination of stuff that I find online that seems interesting~
I'm really looking forward to starting this tomorrow if I can find the keys to get into the gym!
Yeah.
A lot of people have trouble motivating themselves, y'know? They want to change their bodies, but don't know where to start, or think that it's really difficult.
True, it does hurt.
I wake up sore everyday, without fail... but if I'm going to hurt, I'd rather it be from building myself up than tearing myself down~!
On a slight related note, here are some things you guys can use for motivation, if you'd like~

This one isn't fitness specific, though...

First off, remember that if Team Rocket, the bumbling fools we all know and love, has the motivation to reach their goal, then so do you! Get out there are do what you want, and if you fail, try and try again! You'll get it eventually~

Secondly, remember... No matter how sweet, cute, or awesome you are, you can still be a badass. YOU. ARE. AWESOME.

Yep, sit ups are this painful if you're new to working out... But if you want sexy abs, learn to make friends with these unfriendly bastards~

I just like this. Found it on Bing, and it's just wonderful~
Google and Bing both hate me tonight and won't load past 3 rows of pictures, no matter what I do, so I don't really have any more nerdy fitness stuff stored... Nor can I find any more... Meh. I think 3 is pretty good~
Also, I found an interesting meme today! Sparkledog! Normally I hate memes, but this one is cute I think~ Here's my beautiful creation!

I wasn't feeling too creative, honestly~ Anyways, enjoy!
~~~
That's all for tonight!
Good night, and sweet dreams~

~Aggroe~

Kicking Brock's rock-hard Onix with a Rattata~ Hell yes!

Yo everyone! Aggroe here!
Today I have quite a bit to talk about~ One thing that I will talk about before jumping into the challenge is this:
A personality test!
This test was developed by Jung originally, and it's now used in schools and for career information~ It's one of the most popular personality tests out there, and it's kind of accurate, too! Obviously it's not perfect, nothing truly is. But if you pick the options that fit you best, how you feel, then you should get a pretty accurate answer~ Here are my results, if you're curious~
If you want to take the same test, but a lot bit more in depth, click on this link! It's 60 questions long, but will probably be a lot more accurate~ My personality type, according to this quiz is INTP, which sounds about right~ Check it out! These tests are pretty damn fun~
~~~
Now, for today's (and yesterday's) challenge.
Day 7: Set of Pokemon Moves!
My favorite set of Pokemon moves would probably be Psychic, Will-O-Wisp, Mega Drain, and Slam. There's not really a related picture, so here! Have a picture of a Pokemon who represents each move!

These are honestly some of my favorite Pokemon, too~ They might seem sissy or girly - da-yum, look at Snorlax's sexy, girlish figure - but these guys were always so op when I trained them on my old games~ Trading them to Pokemon Colosseum was epic!
Day 8: Special Ability

My special ability would be speed, silent speed.
Now don't get me wrong, Super Sonic is ONLY an example of my speed. I would run silently, after all, my character is a lawful evil thief/adventurer...~ Stealth is a must! But my ability that I would unlock is stealthy speed, as fast as Super Sonic and as hidden as Solid Snake~
...
I mean, come ON! Who DOESN'T want to be able to hide from enemies in the most conspicuous way possible~

~~~
Now, it's that GLORIOUS 18+ time of day again...~
Aggroe's HTD!
So this one is from one of my most favorite ecchi anime of ALL TIME! To-Love-RU! When pronounced in Japanese, it sounds like "trouble", just a fun fact~ Anyways, check it out! Tentacles, oppai, monster/alien girls... what could go wrong?
~~~
Next up is the daily dose of Japan!
顔文字（かおもじ）
Pronounced "kah-oh-moh-jee"
Romanized as "kaomoji"
This word is a lot like the word "emoticon" in English. Believe it or not, they are a LOT more popular in Japan than they are in America! This is namely because they e-mail instead of texting on phones, and they are charged money per character. Now, it makes a lot more sense to describe things using as few characters as possible, yes? So, they introduce cute emoticons in order to shorten their messages. Kaomoji are almost like a secret language that the youth of Japan use to communicate with~
This site has quite a few good ones, and it's the most accurately Japanese one I've found so far! Most don't have actual kaomoji, just morphed emoticons.
~~~
Now I kind of want to talk about parodies! I typically am not a fan, unless they are the Key of Awesome parodies... But today, I came across this guy, NateWantsToBattle, who does Pokemon parodies of popular songs! I've seen my fair share of crappy Pokemon parodies before, but this guy is different... I promise~ His voice is so perfect!
Also, he doesn't do just Pokemon~ He's also got Minecraft parodies and Legend of Zelda parodies! Check out some of my favorite videos from him below, if you want some new tunes~
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Song of Swords) guitar cover
Magikarp (parody of Wrecking Ball)
Gary Oak (parody of I Knew You Were Trouble)
Pikachu (parody of 22)
Good Wall (parody of Blurred Lines)
Enderman (parody of Gentleman by PSY)
The Pokerap! (Dark Cave Edition)
My god these parodies and covers, though~ The Pokerap one is just for Anemone, since I know how much she loves her zubat~
Another great video I love is one that he's featured in, and it's wonderful~ I wish school were like this!!
Pokemon University!
Also, an update on my Youngster Joey challenge in LeafGreen! My Rattata, affectionately known as "Koratta", the Japanese name, is now a level 15 having just beaten Brock! I have a couple of pictures that were directly before the victory and directly after~

I had never played LeafGreen before, so when I named my rival, I had no idea how well it would fit~ This had me laughing for hours, you have no idea~!

Here's right after I caught the bugger~

I decided to EV train it in Speed and Defense. As it's my first time EV training, I forgot to record the numbers... I think he's somewhere around 40 EVs in speed right now, and 6 in defense. I'd also like to work on HP EVs a bit.

WHOO BEAT THE FIRST GYM! It was pretty hard, and the first time I relied on non-attack moves besides Sleep Spore, Hypnosis, and Poison Powder. Used Tail Whip to bring down their defenses, and kicked some SERIOUS ROCK-HARD ASS!
holyshitimsosorryforthatbadpun...

That's about it for now. I hope you all enjoy the personality tests and the interesting videos~
Good afternoon everyone, and enjoy your day~

~Aggroe~
