Baked potato taste!
Saturday, 29 December 2007 14:23Hopefully everyone enjoyed their festive winter holidays, whatever you celebrate. I hope that they were filled with fun, merriment, and more fun. But now, as I look at the calendar, I see that there remains just 1 week--yes, only 1 week--left for you to enter the final large character battle contest, Battle Royal. 21 people have entered it so far, and it is here in the final week where the procrastinators come in full force.
Once again, I remind you that the deadline for entry is midnight ET, January 5. I will not take any late entries unless you've been rendered an invalid for the last month. Also, to those of you who have entered, I remind you to print out your brackets or save them to your computer--once the deadline rolls around, I will delete the contest from Bracket Maker so as to prevent cheating.
Some of you still have yet to give me your Losers' Match picks, and so I'll be around to ask you what they are. To the rest of you procrastinators, Joshie and I will go all out in our pestering you to enter in this final week. I need 9 more entrants to get to 30, a goal I hope to hit. Besides, $100 is at stake here! Two video games of your choosing! You'd be foolish to pass it up--what do you have to lose? Sign up by clicking this link here--time is running out!
In other news, thanks to the holiday, I had a 2-day work week, and I was given a freebie this weekend...no portrait studio for me. Not bad, I'll take it. No other major news here, anyway--I began one of my new DS games today, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and already I find myself annoyed with the plot. Slight spoiler alert ahead!The game is a direct sequel to the GameCube game, Zelda: Wind Waker. There's virtually no lapse in time between games, Phantom Hourglass picks up almost immediately from the end of Wind Waker. 5 minutes into Phantom Hourglass, Zelda (Tetra) gets KIDNAPPED AGAIN. Dumb blonde decides to hop a ghost ship and gets whisked away by some dark force. FIVE MINUTES. The credits had just been barely finished from Wind Waker, and here we go again. And so the vicious cycle continues.
And that's all the news to report from here, anyway. I'll most likely do up an end of year post tomorrow, with any luck. For now, though, gaming continues. Or something.
