I Like Mondays: November 24, 2014
I haven't done an I Like Mondays post for ages, it's where I talk about cool article or other useful stuff I saw on the net. Have a look, you won't be disappointed.
Firstly this funny little piece from Joey Davidson at technobuffalo about the experience of buying an amiibo.
Then there's this interesting read from John Kinsley at wiiudaily about Reggie and how Mario Kart 8 doubled thier Wii U business.
I'm not in the habit of linking to the big guys, but this piece from IGN about exactly what amiibo's can do right is really informative, and changed my mind about picking one up.
Lastly a Smash Bros. for Wii U review. There's millions around, but this one from Kevin Femmel at gimmegimmegames is a good one. He says:
"Booting up Smash Bros for Wii U after playing the 3DS version extensively since October takes away a lot of the initial "wow" factor."
Well Kevin, I knew that was going to happen and that's why I only played the demo a couple of times just to satisfy my curiosity.

Super Smash Bros. For Wii U Is Cheapest At Big W
Yep, it'll be $58 at Big W.
Elsewhere, JB Hi-Fi has it for $69, while EB Games has it listed for $79.95- and they'll usually price match.
No price from Target yet, though their new catalogue comes out on the 26th.
I'll tweet any new or better prices I see. You can follow me on twitter: @rustyshell
Great Games Of Last Generation: Split Second
Welcome to my new occasional post where I look at great games of generations past, including all three last-gen consoles. I'm kicking things off with Split/Second, a killer racer found on PS3 and 360.
Need for Speed and Mario Kart meet, get along famously.
Split/Second combines fast cars, big explosions and destructible environments to make a deliciously fun and unique racer. You're the up and coming star of the world's most popular show- Split/Second. Race your way through 12 'episodes' to become the Split/Second grand champion.
Each episode contains a series of different events- they don't call them races- because some will have you avoiding missiles fired from helicopters, or simply not being in last place when a timer reaches zero. All these game modes are fun- but the out and out racing is where Split/Second really shines.
What makes Split/Second so unique is the combining of arcade racing action with various strategy elements. Drifting around corners and drafting behind other racers earns you the ability to execute "power plays"- events which change something in the environment to give you the competitive edge over your opponents.
Bridges collapse, tankers explode, buildings crash to the ground- the aim is to find the best driving line through the carnage and hope the other racers crash and burn. Some power plays do more damage and pose more danger than others, and risk assessment on the fly is imperative to winning races.
Split/Second looks absolutely stunning, the explosions and lighting effects impress to no end- and there's an instant replay mode for the biggest and most damaging power plays. It's awesome to watch the event you set off take out 5 racers in one hit, and while the replay simply happens mid race- the game seamlessly brings you straight back into to the action- something other games have failed to pull off (I'm looking at you, Burnout Paradise).
There's a 2 player split screen mode which is extremely playable, and anyone can learn the controls quickly.
Split/Second was up there with the most fun I've had with a racer the whole of last generation.
Did you love Split/Second? Leave a comment!
New Nintendo 3DS In Australia: Day One Impressions
It's the first day of the official release of New Nintendo 3DS, and here's my first impressions of the machine- in no nonsense point form- good and bad together.
I have the Metallic Black New Nintendo 3DS XL, and I upgraded from a Cosmos Black 3DS.
It's not available in the U.S or Europe yet, so if you're considering an upgrade, I hope this helps with your decision.
1. The Look:
- The faux brushed metal finish (it's plastic) is much sleeker and sexier than you might think
- The "matte" look of the body is a perfect complement to the new buttons and C stick. No glossy inside surface means less fingerprints
- All buttons are nicely proportioned, and click as well as any you've ever pressed, although I can't help but wish they were fully colour coded like on the small NN3DS
- It looks and feels like a premium product… one now knows why there is no interchangeable face plates on the XL version. It looks so sleek closed, you won't want to change it's appearance
- There's no clear "NFC" symbol like on the Wii U gamepad, so since I don't own an amiibo, I don't know where I should touch it to the machine
- All the LED lights are now less obnoxiously bright, although I still don't understand why the blue power LED has to pulsate in sleep mode
2. The Screens
- Top screen is sharp and vivid, rich colours, much more so than the 3DS XL and 3DS
- 3D is still a strange sensation at first, and your eyes relax into it with time, but with NN3DS you can actually see the machine "snapping" the 3D into place if you move the system too abruptly
- 3D sweet spot is really improved beyond belief. You won't go back to a regular 3DS after experiencing it
- "Super Stable 3D" does what it says, but you might need to turn it down a tiny bit to ensure the outer edges of the screen give you a crisp 3D picture (instead of a double image)
- Bottom touch screen responds to fingers as well as stylus, even though I am sure it's less "floaty" than previous models, even the Wii U Gamepad. You know what I mean… it always felt like there was a layer of air between the touch surface and the actual screen. This seems to have been virtually eliminated with the NN3DS
3. The Free Software
- Set up is painless and the count down turning 3D on for the first time is exciting, even more so than the 3DS
- Super easy to use interface, fun too… although it's virtually the same as 3DS. At least you can customise it now
- Face Raiders is still here, and the original AR cards are included, but this time no yellow pouch to store them in
- 3D photo taking is still low quality
- AR Games are greatly improved thanks to Super Stable 3D
- Easy to connect to the net and transfer data from your previous machine, just make sure both your systems have the latest firmware before you start the transfer
- The cute little Pikmin animation is back to entertain you during the transfer
- The microSD card is inserted when you purchase the machine
- Make sure you have your NNID password on hand if you want to sync your account with Wii U
4. The Everything Else
- Stylus is meaty and packs away nicely, although you might miss the telescopic function of the 3DS stylus
- 3D slider is much easier to adjust subtly
- The system fits snugly in the hand, the rounded edges feel really nice
- Left thumb goes from circle pad to D Pad nicely, although the new, smaller circle pad feels more slippery than previous models
- The right C stick is too small. It works as it should though. I mean, I successfully performed smash moves in Smash Bros. for 3DS but seriously, why isn't there a fully fledged second circle pad?
- No power charger means the box is small and the packaging is bare bones
- At around $15 for a new charger, this seems like a bit of a gee up. Perhaps we could have knocked that $15 off the price, Nintendo?
- Download times (I just downloaded a couple of demos) is improved, but to what extent of course depends on your internet/Wi Fi connection
- Miiverse loads roughly 15% quicker in my quick tests

The Luigi amiibo Should Include A Death Stare For Your Mii In Mario Kart 8
Then watch the sales of the Luigi amiibo go through the roof.
A Luigi racing suit for my Mii isn't gonna cut it, Nintendo.
I want a fully fledged death stare for my Mii while he's wearing the Luigi racing suit. AND! I want it mapped to the horn button, so I can control the intimidation.
Then I'll pay the fifteen (or more) bucks for one of your amiibos.
And on that topic, I'm thinking of innovative ways for the Big N to use their little toys. Any ideas?

Oh, There's A Big Surprise… Majora's Mask 3D Is Coming
Nintendo's worst kept secret is finally official.
A remake of Majora's Mask is coming to 3DS. Following on from the success of the Ocarina and Wind Waker remakes, the only 3D Zelda game I've never played is getting a graphical upgrade, as well as new features to ensure an even better gameplay experience.
I've got no problem with the enhanced remakes, and it seems Nintendo listened to the fans who really rallied for this to happen.
3DS already has such and incredible line up of games that this remake is entirely unnecessary, but it feels like a sweet little present for the rabid fans of the original, as well as a great way to introduce Majora's Mask to people like me who missed the Nintendo 64 version.
Have a look at the sweet stuff included in the special edition set when it drops next year. According to vooks.net this set is coming to Australia.

Good To Know You're On The Mend, Mr. Iwata
Apparently in the Japanese version of the latest Nintendo direct, president Iwata made some comment regarding the state of his health.
We all know he went in for major surgery recently, but I just reckon it's great that he felt comfortable enough to publicly address his noticeable weight loss.
He insists he's on the mend, and that's good news to me.
Thanks for sharing Iwata, and all the best getting back to your old self. You can read what he said in full here.
Thanks to wikipedia for the pic of Iwata.
An amiibo Tie In Adventure Game Could Have Been A Skylanders Killer
I don't know why Nintendo doesn't have one ready to launch alongside the figurines.
An adventure game in the vein of Skylanders and Infinity would have made an awesome new IP, and given people a solid reason to buy the new figurines. If Skylanders, and to a lesser extent (seeing as they were the copycats) Disney Infinity hadn't been the smash hits they are, amiibo wouldn't even exist.
I get that Skylanders and Infinity figures can only be used in their respective games, and that amiibo's point of difference is that they are useable across multiple titles, but I really think the amiibo concept would have been an easier sell if there was a dedicated, new title to enjoy. An easier sell to kids and parents most importantly, because that's the way to get a slice of the (massive) Skylanders/Infinity pie.*
As the kid on that Old El Paso commercial says, why not have both?
Nintendo already know how to successfully bring their very different mascots together in a cohesive story set in an art-style neutral environment. They've done it in the Smash Bros. cut scenes. So there's your characters and story. Model the gameplay and scale on LEGO City Undercover.
In fact, why not just leave development of the title in TT Fusion's hands, considering what an outstanding job they did with Undercover. It's one of Wii U's best exclusives and I don't care what anyone says, it's one of this generation's best games so far, full stop.
An amiibo stand alone title might come along some time in the future, and until then I won't be forking out $15 or so bucks to own little bits of (nicely crafted) plastic that contribute little outside the obvious to games I already own or was going to buy anyway.

Super Smash Bros. For Wii U Delayed Until November 29 In Australia
Oh sorry. Force of habit. I meant to say the Australian release date for Smash Bros. Wii U game has been brought forward by seven days to November 29.
Who knows why, and who cares.
New Smash is coming sooner than we thought, and that's all that friggen matters, internet.
Feel free to friend me for Smash and Mario Kart purposes. My NNID is zinger_AU.
November 29!
Not Bad: Smash Bros. For 3DS Still $49 At Target & JB Hi-Fi
If you're looking to pick up Smash for 3DS on the cheap, you're still in luck because Target are selling it for $49 (until Wednesday, October 22) and JB Hi-Fi also have it for $49, apparently it's regular price.
This is good news for us first party Nintendo fans, because games for 3DS and Wii U seem to be settling into low price points much quicker than they have in the past.
Now if we could just hit that magic $40 price point the Americans enjoy paying for their new release 3DS games…

I'm Not Sold On The Name "New Nintendo 3DS". Why Didn't Nintendo Just Call It "3DS Advance"?
I mean, the Advance suffix is one that suggests power and progression, not to mention how well it rolls off the tongue. Gameboy Advance was an awesome name for the first hardware-improved Gameboy*, and the words just came out of the mouth so perfectly.
Gameboy Advance.
Not only did the GBA have an bad ass name to let everyone know it meant business, it also had a completely different form factor to the "candy bar" style original line of Gameboys. People could just look at its sideways orientation and they knew it was a new system, regardless of what they thought about the (original) shell's purple colour.
3DS has seen it's fair share of physical redesigns since it launched in 2011, but none have been as significant as the upcoming New Nintendo 3DS.
Not only does it refine the form factor of 3DS once again, but it adds a second analogue stick and increases the internal horsepower of the machine, which will result in exclusives for the system. In my eyes, that means it's a new Nintendo system.
Evidently Nintendo thinks it's a new system too, so much so that they thought they'd better make the point by calling it New 3DS. Or, New Nintendo 3DS to be exact.
No company names a major new product without some serious thought and debate going into it, and although I don't have a marketing degree, I've gotta wonder what the circumstances were leading up to this naming decision, and why Nintendo didn't agree on something more snazzy and serious.
I don't think I know better from a business perspective, but from the creative and commonsensical perspective of a long time Nintendo fan, I don't like the name. I don't think (coupled with that silly looking font and logo that ties in with amiibo) the name "New Nintendo 3DS" does anything to help position the product where Nintendo themselves have said they want it to be- in the hands of the less passive gamer. The swinging Playstation Vita owner, perhaps?
I'm not saying Vita is a catchy or impactful name, but with Playstation preceding it, pretty much anything sounds awesome (try it: Playstation Hinge. Playstation Cushion. Playstation Canvas. Playstation Candle. …I could go on).
Nor am I suggesting there's a big enough pool of disillusioned Vita owners that Nintendo should start making decisions to actively court them, because every Vita owner I know loves their machine, and they're willing to go looking for the value in the system and its great experiences, as few and far between as us outsiders might consider them to be.
Those "more serious" gamers would in my mind consist of some VITA owners with enough cash to finally jump on board the 3DS train, but the majority would be these casual mobile gamers Nintendo apparently no longer has any interest in catering to.
Hopefully Nintendo can make these pathetic individuals realise they're looking for a deeper, richer experience only a dedicated gaming device with physical buttons can provide.
Back to the name. New Nintendo 3DS just isn't a name with much oomph or presence. It doesn't mean business.
I'm going to argue that "3DS Advance" would have been the ideal name, and that it should have been coupled with a killer new logo that made its presence felt as a street credible alternative to gaming on your iphone.
After all, the New Nintendo 3DS XL features a "luxury look", why can't it have a luxury name and logo?

Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS Australian Retail Prices
The demo sold me on the idea of Smash on the small screen, but I'll still be waiting for the Wii U version to come later in the year.
For those who are getting in on the action from day one, here's a look at what Aussie retailers are charging for Nintendo's latest AAA release. $44 ain't bad, Target.
Big W: $54
Target: $44 (until October 8)
JB HiFi: $49
EB Games: $59.95
I'll post any better prices I see before the game launches in Australia this Saturday.

Someone's Put Something In My Drink
It was a lemon wedge. Thanks, barkeep.
On another topic, Nintendo Australia has announced that New 3DS (and the XL) will be available in Australia and New Zealand this November 21, and we're the only territory outside Japan to get the system this year.
Watch the full video below, it's the first Nintendo Direct From Australia.
Unfortunately this good news brings with it some terribly bad news… the name New 3DS is final. Here we go again…why didn't they call it 3DS Advance?
Anyway, Tom Enoki thanks Australian fans for their support. You're welcome, now shut up and take my money.

Disney Infinity 2.0 Aussie Retail Prices
There's a few low-ish prices around the retail traps for the content rich latest iteration of Disney Infinity, cleverly and succinctly titled "Infinity 2.0″.
Very parent friendly, Disney.
Big W has the starter pack for the latest software, the biggest selling point of which is the arrival of MARVEL characters to the fold, for $68 including Thor, Ironman and Black Widow figures.
Big W are selling the figures at a whopping $15 but don't worry… you can pick up the Iron Fist (who?) figure for half price when you purchase the starter pack. Talk about value!
Target: Starter pack for $68
JB Hi-Fi: Starter pack for $79, figures for $17
EB Games: Starter pack for $79.95, figures for $17.95
KMart: Starter pack for $69, figures for $12
Seen any better prices? Let me know! You can follow me on twitter: @rustyshell
Hyrule Warriors Is Great Fun To Play, Worth The Purchase For Action Fans
Sure, it might be a little mindless. A little repetitive. A bit of a Zelda fan's wet dream. That doesn't stop it from being a freakin' blast to play, especially if you're one of those Zelda fans.
And by most accounts it's a very well crafted entry in Dynasty Warriors series. A win win for fans of both series, it seems.
I've never played a Dynasty Warriors game, and after reading and watching a few reviews of Hyrule Warriors, I still didn't really know what to expect when I got the game home on Saturday.
I knew you had to fight against wave after wave of enemies with over the top weapons and special moves, and I knew who the playable fighters were.
I had heard the cutscenes were impressive, and the Zelda themed locales and plot points had been handled with a great deal of care and respect to the series.
All of these things I knew, I just wasn't prepared for how utterly satisfying and it would be to mow down those hordes of enemies using Link, Zelda, or Sheik. Nor was I prepared for my Zelda fanboy to go nuts when I realised I was going to get to battle on familiar Zelda locales, and Midna appeared, it was as if I'd been reunited with an old friend I hadn't seen since 2007.
A dose of nostalgia can mess with your judgement, so I'm always cautious (especially as a Nintendo fan) to make sure I'm not high on anything other than the thrill of the game itself when I'm playing new content in a franchise I love.
In the case of Hyrule Warriors, it's more difficult to be as judicious, mainly because while officially connected through a timeline, a lot of the events and characters (and to some extent, the locations) in the Zelda universe haven't seen each other or interacted before this game.
(Mild Spoilers. Just this paragraph!) Playing as Midna from Twilight Princess, battling enemies from Ocarina of Time in a Skyward Sword locale is actually kind of odd. Even some major plot points from certain games have been revisited, and begin there with different a character from a different Zelda game adds to that surreal feeling.
I see heaps of people on Miiverse asking things like is this game fun, if it's worth buying, if you have to be a Zelda fan to enjoy it. I reckon it is worth buying. I reckon it's a great Wii U exclusive and I reckon it's a blast to play.
It's true you won't get those warm, nostalgia induced tingles or goosebumps if your not a Zelda fan, but if you're up for something unique, fun and extremely playable, I say go for it either way.

So A True Smash Bros. Experience Is Possible On A Handheld?
Ever since Nintendo announced that a new Smash Bros. game was being developed for 3DS alongside the expected home console version, I was dubious about how the over the top action and overall grandeur of the series could be compressed into a handheld experience.
Even after all the stage reveals, the screenshots, and the gameplay videos, I still wasn't sold on the idea, nor was I excited about being able to Smash anywhere, any time. Even when Nintendo revealed the 3DS version was to be released months before the Wii U version, I still felt like I could wait it out 'till that big screen experience I associate with the series came along.
But this Saturday it all changed, when Nintendo released the Super Smash Bros. For 3DS demo on the eShop. Even though you can only play on one stage and with a couple of characters, all the Smash Bros. charm is there. The epic music, the flashy effects, and the super fast gameplay all seem to be intact on the small screen.
I was surprised by how smoothly the demo ran, and how good the models looked. The 3D effect looks pretty serviceable, too.
There were times when the camera came close to being too wide, with the characters became so small you almost lost track of them. You can't toggle the character outline either, something I thought they might include with this demo, considering it's a feature which was designed to make play on the small screen a little easier.
Fair enough I haven't played the full game, and hopefully I wasn't just drunk on nostalgia and excitement brought on simply by playing new Smash content. What I have to say though, is that it certainly felt, looked, and sounded like a Smash game.
Maybe it will have to be a day one purchase after all.

Can I Make It To Smash Bros. Launch Without Spoiling The Character Roster For Myself?
Good old mystery. It's as good as dead in the gaming world.
I'm making rustyshell a Smash Bros. spoiler free zone, just like I did with Mario Kart 8.
I know most of the roster, but from here on out I intend to do everything possible to avoid spoiling the last few remaining characters I don't know are in.
I chose my Smash Bros. dream roster a while back, and while I know a few of my picks have made the cut, (like Little Mac over there) I hope there might be one or two left I don't know about.
I completely ruined (or should I say spoiled) Brawl for myself with the dojo website, day after day checking it for info and reveals. I haven't been to the new official Smash Bros. at all, and I've ignored Sakurai on Miiverse completely.
This time, when that siren sounds telling me a challenger is approaching, I'm determined to be surprised.
At least once.

Hyrule Warriors Australian Retail Prices
With the much anticipated Wii U exclusive Hyrule Warriors releasing on September 20, it's time to look at the best retail prices.
There's apparently some exclusive DLC content available from certain retailers but I can't make head nor tail of it, and there's no indication that the limited edition scarf set has the add-on content included in Australia.
Here's what Aussie retailers are asking:
Big W: $64 (game only)
Target: $59 (game only)
JB Hi-Fi: $69 (game only) or $94 (with limited edition scarf)
EB Games: $79.95 (game only)
It's pretty great to see this big new releases consistently under $60.
Don't forget, if you register your copy of the game with Club Nintendo before October 17th you get a download code for the Ganondorf costume set.

There Was A Point Blank Game For The Nintendo DS
I only found this out just now.
Point Blank 1 & 2 have got to be among the most entertaining arcade games ever, and while the humble DS might not sound like the ideal platform to host a port of a two player light gun game, it actually reviewed quite well.
I played the hell out of both Point Blank games at Hornsby Westfield's Timezone among other places, and every arcade I came across was (and still is) judged on whether they have a Point Blank cabinet.
You get bonus points if you have a Ninja Turtles 4 player set up, and double extra points for a four player Simpsons arcade cabinet. Some of my friends were #teambuckhunter, while I was #teampointblank all the way.
Back then, of course, this thing: # was only ever seen on the hash key, and it if you ever had to use one, you were politely reminded it was located "below the 9″. But I digress.
Needless to say, I have ordered a copy of Point Blank DS and am anxiously awaiting its arrival.
How great is Point Blank? Did you ever play the DS version? Leave a comment! You can follow me on twitter: @rustyhell or Miiverse: zinger_AU

Tostadas – three different ways!
Recipe: Tostadas
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder (or more if you like it spicey)
- 1 can of beans (you can use kidney, black, pinto, whatever you have on hand.. I used kidney)
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 small can of tomato sauce
- 6-8 corn tortillas for the tostadas
- lettuce, sour cream, avocado, salsa cheese… whatever toppings you prefer
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium pan saute onions and garlic until tender. Add ground beef, cook until browned.
- Add cumin, salt, chili powder, bean, tomatoes, and sauce. Cook until heated through.
- Meanwhile slice your tortillas in half, place on a baking sheet and place in the over.
- Bake about 5-10 minutes, until golden and crispy, turning over once.
- Assemble your tostadas, I usually add lettuce meat mixture and top it off with cheese. I let everyone add their own garnishes.
The kid and I are not huge tostada lovers, but hunnie is, so when I make these I make three different variations using the same ingredients. When I assemble mine I put lettuce in a bowl top with the meat mixture add some cheese and crunch the chips on top then garnish with sour cream, salsa or whatever else I am in the mood for, making a taco salad. For the kid he likes to take a slice of bread and add the meat mixture then he adds cheese making kid of a Mexican sloppy joe type sandwich.

Just how safe is Europe's most-recognized monument?
PARIS, France — The Eiffel Tower, beloved symbol of Paris and France, receives more than 6 million visitors every year. Every day the tower and the plaza below it, as well as the mall spreading out from its base, host thousands of people from dawn until well after dark, climbing, snapping pictures, gazing, proposing.
That would seem to make the Eiffel Tower the perfect target for terrorists. So a blanket alert from U.S. officials this week warning about terrorism in Europe made us ask the question: Just how safe is Europe's best-known attraction?
Last month, the tower was evacuated twice after anonymous phone calls to police. More than 1,000 visitors had to flee the monument and its surroundings. The alerts turned out to be false, but the message was clear: Authorities worry the Eiffel Tower could be a target.
"It is no secret," said Yves Trotignon, a French Security expert with Risk&Co. "We have known since 1994 that terror groups could target this monument. We found fliers from the Algerian GIA [Armed Islamic Group] with pictures of the Eiffel Tower."
"It is a very strong symbol, it would strike people's minds internationally," said Trotignon. "If someone blew up the Eiffel Tower, that would make headlines all over the world."
Several weeks ago, National Police Chief Frederic Pechenard sounded the alarm about high terror risks in France.
"France is today under threat," Pechenard told French radio Europe 1. "For that matter, French people need to get used to it. We're now facing a peak threat that can't be doubted. There is a specific threat against French interests."
"In order to do the maximum possible damage [such an attack] would be likely to happen in a place where there are lots of people, which could be the public transit system, a department store or a gathering," Pechenard said.
Despite the terrorism alerts, tourists from many nations still swarmed the French icon Tuesday, taking pictures. They were waiting in line to see Paris from above and be able to say: "I've been there!"
Security guards checked visitors' bags and each visitor has passed through a metal detector since security was beefed up several years ago.
"The presence of metal detectors near the Eiffel Tower could be enough to deter terrorists from intruding inside the monument or in the elevators," said Trotignon. "But it might still be easy to blow a bomb near the Eiffel Tower and the symbolic impact would be similar."
Security guards and military officers at the tower refused to say whether the alerts had led to new security measures. Contacted by email, the SETE company, which operates the Eiffel tower, said "the SETE does not wish to comment on security issues."

Rita Mae Brown, Michael Gellatly (Illustrator)
About this title: Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen, sleuthing cats Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and that incorrigible corgi Tee Tucker sniff out the season's first blossom of murder. An especially promising nurse's lifeless body is discovered without a mark on her. Then another hospital employee, who had seemed in perfect health, is also found dead. It's clear there's a mystery afoot--and that's one thing Harry and her menagerie can't keep their noses out of.

OK i am in need of 5000g and I don't buy gold cause that can get you banned and isn't worth real money now I would be much obliged if you don't put any unkind words to me or others
so NO swearing so yeah I would LOVE it if you could send me some money
86 Dwarf Paladin
lol why do you need this 5000g ???
um does it matter, any way i need it to help a friend who owes me over 3K gold but he got banned or sum thing so ill never see it again and so i need sum gold to get me of my feet so i can purchase artisan riding and my DK mount plus i will need sum gold to create a team and get good Armour so we can raid
73 Blood Elf Paladin
it obviously matters if someones even considering this.
90 Human Rogue
90 Night Elf Priest
I'd suggest maybe dropping 25 skinning since you've not invested much time into it, and pick up mining. Get yourself some sort of gatherer add on and spend a day at it, you'll have the 3k you seem to have lost in no time. Stay up against it a couple days, you'll have more than the 5k you're asking for and you won't have to ask people you don't know for it, which seems fruitless tbqh.
Also, you have to understand you're asking strangers for huge favors.. so when they ask what for, it's sorta just polite to tell them instead of your "um does it matter, anyway" approach. Should probably also tighten up your story a little, it seems to have some holes in it..

85 Blood Elf Paladin
Change.. anybody spare some change?
90 Goblin Death Knight
OP - Do dailies for a week. You will get your 5000 gold easy :D

and man at 25, its rough i know, things wont really improve until you hit the "heavy leather" and then your going to have to pick up leather working, or pay me too make you a batch of fun "heavy leather balls" which you can throw to a friendly player!!! this will allow you to either,CHARGE them for the ball they didnt want in there bags, and if they steal the ball you can call a GM. (on there hot line) and they will take the 2 highest Ilvl loot peices from the other play,
your all silly for not seeing that the OP is really a just a friendly Troll,
welll this changes everything....
this person is obviously just as bad, and lonely as you are, and there is a goood chance you could eaisly without effort, WHILE trolling trade, be able to become friends with, and then once you hang out in ORG, throwing your balls around, you quietly ask them for a small favor of 5k so you can get artisan riding and that Sxy Big Yellow asian Dragon, which looks like something out of pokemon, something like Zapdut.
with all dat, in mind, throw me a ball some time ;) or maybe ill throw one to you, like i did to your friend who is now banned,beacuse he was to poor to pay after i took his money for the first one,
And with all dis, in mind,

Coffee Makers, Espresso Machines, & Electric Kettles are Great Additions to Every Home and Office
Caffeine, whether it is in the form of coffee, espresso, or tea, is a popular way to get the day started. Many people have coffee makers either in their homes or offices and use them throughout the day to stay alert and focused. There are a variety of coffee makers, from single cup Keurig machines to large carafe-style brewing systems.
Similarly, espresso and cappuccino drinkers often have a shot or two in the mornings and afternoons. Having an espresso or cappuccino machine on-hand can save you the time and money formally spent at your local café. State-of-the-art espresso and cappuccino makers, such as those made by Jura-Capresso, can offer you the same quality and taste as a skilled barista.
If coffee or espresso is too strong for you, perhaps tea is your drink of choice. Electric kettles are a fantastic way to enjoy tea at home, at the office, or anywhere an outlet is available. Electric kettles are also a fantastic way to enjoy hot chocolate, soup, or any other beverage that requires hot water.
Accessories, such as coffee grinders, cup warmers, and milk frothers, are fantastic additions to your caffeine ritual. They'll elevate the overall quality and experience of your morning beverage by offering you all of the accoutrements of a European café.

Hi, my name is Julie. Photography has always been of interest to me and now I can safely say my feet are getting wet! After raising 2 children and many commitments I am now finding some increments of time to spend on my new hobby! While still raising/training a puppy and husband I hope to hone a few skills yet! I am always in amazement of the talent on WU Photos! While I absorb, enjoy and learn from each and every one of you, I hope that your patience can hang with me while I learn. I have always loved weather, nature, animals and flora. To me it is all atmospheric related! Thank you all for your inspiration!

Follow me @nickuskoski on Twitter for Sigma/Star news! Projected Update Schedule: Sigma/Star-Tuesday & Friday Project: Shade-Sunday Random Other Things-Randomly Currently I live in Toronto, working with Wattpad now that I have graduated with my English degree. I have been writing seriously since I was about 14, when I began a very long fantasy novel, like all young boys do, and its 160 or so pages ended up in my closet until I finally threw them away. But the writing doesn't stop! Otherwise I just enjoy running around the city and goofing around, or playing Magic: The Gathering or League of Legends. If you want to play with me, let me know (not incredibly good at either, no expectations people!). Here on Wattpad I have discovered serial writing, based on my love of manga, and continue to promote the art form in all ways on Wattpad through the Serial Writer's Guild, as well as other events I try to run. If you ever want to know anything about serial writing or want to be part of the Guild, send me a message! I'm also a moderator and ambassador on Wattpad, so I'm sorry I closed your thread and you're angry about it. If you have fan art, a fan fiction story for Sigma/Star, or anything else you might want mentioned on the page, send me a message and let me know! Shout out to my wonderful girlfriend @mylessismondo!

@HavocRock done it before, I'm moving away from contests for the next little bit anyways :)
@HavocRock I have talked with a few readers over time to do it, but people want to read on Wattpad, for the most part, so I will have to look elsewhere. As for external websites/facebook, I wouldn't recommend them from my own experience, as users like to stay on Wattpad and rarely go elsewhere, but you never know. You may have better luck, particularly if tablets and laptops are up for grabs.
@HarneetBajwa where's the fun of a social writing site without being social in your writing!
@HavocRock for a bit...it was... The entire thing is built around manga/anime/light novels so if it seems like it should adapt easily to a comic or animation, I did it right and thus hurray, thank you! Otherwise, there was a brief period when my brother was in his last year of high school where a student teacher came in who was also a comic artist. I approached them with Sigma/Star, let's say 50 chapters ago, and they agreed to make it a manga. I have the first 10 pages and saw the first 13. It looks amazing, I was super excited, and I had concept art they drew for Goliaths. When my brother's school year ended, the teacher disappeared and ended all contact with me, meaning the comic was essentially over and gone and I've never heard from them since. http://sigmastar.webs.com/apps/documents/ http://sigmastar.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=14307340 There's the first 10 and the concept art. I'm still always looking for that someone who might want to try a shot at making this a manga or generally making one with me if they draw I write, etc.
The character for Sigma existed in my head for a long time as this little human sized robot-thing that could beat all these mechs with ease. Then I read the manga Broken Blade when I was getting into the mech genre and it inspired me to do what I had always wanted and write that kind of story
@HarneetBajwa because there's a resurgence in the chapter. I was originally calling it a synonym, and then I said screw it, I'm all about being wattpad-meta and referential, so I made it Resurgence haha
@harneetbajwa I only do this kind of stuff to be cheeky :D
