Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

About time I posted another one of these. If I'd stuck to my intended schedule of posting my Miiverse backup entries once a week, this would've been posted between June 24 and 30, 2018.

I'll get caught up someday...

At least I can prove I'm still capable of posting entries that don't mention the Quidd drama!... wait a minute... DANG IT! :P

For my birthday I got (along with other games and things) money to get NSLU from the eShop, so I'm gonna do that now… If I'm not back in an hour, send a not-being-distracted-by-Miiverse after me XD

(I wonder what I was doing if it took me three whole days after my birthday to post this. Probably playing Kid Icarus: Uprising - I got that for the same birthday, but didn't get to post about it on Miiverse for a while because there were no 3DS game communities back then except for Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

Also, I think this is the only time I posted about a game that was out by then, but that I didn't have yet. I may be wrong though.)

Got NSLU and liking it so far! I wish there were an official in-story explanation of why Mario's not there, though, if only so there wouldn't be fan speculation... But I'm liking the game :)

(That's how you know that this post predates Game Theory's "Mario is Mental" videos - I found some other Mario-related fan speculation annoying enough that I had to post a mini-rant about it.

Also, like the next few, this ended up in the NSMBU community instead of NSLU because for whatever reason, New Super Luigi U didn't give me nearly as many opportunities to post from in-game, which was the only way to post in the NSLU community at all.)

(Despite making a lot of posts/drawings about things that happened to us in specific New Super Mario Bros. U levels, this is the only time I ended up doing so about a specific New Super Luigi U level. And I don't even know what level it was except that it was clearly a castle.)

(This is the second of my only two Miiverse posts to have no words, and technically my last post in the NSMBU community since the next NSLU-related post actually made it to the NSLU community.)

Beat the game!
Why is it that this is the first time I've gotten asked to post to Miiverse in NSLU?

(Again, this is my first AND last post in the NSLU community. I think we continued playing New Super Luigi U for a while after this, but not long enough for us to get around to 100% completing it unlike with NSMBU. I should finish that someday. This was also my last Miiverse post of 2013 - it would be about 5 or 6 months [139 days, to be exact] until I finally started posting again, setting another new record for my longest hiatus.)

Featuring my only post in the Scribblenauts Unlimited community and my only post in the Netflix community! And yay, I'm finally NOT behind on these Miiverse backup entries! :)

This game is fun, but I never know how much sense any given task is going to make…

(I believe the first comment on this was me trying to give an example of what I meant: there's one part where you can put one piece of candy [or presumably any other food item] in an empty vending machine and that somehow makes it a completely full vending machine overflowing with food items besides just candy, so you'd think if THAT can happen in the game, then at another part with the sorority girl who's looking for her helmet, just writing "helmet" and giving her that helmet would work, but it didn't. Both of these are probably pretty early in the game since I didn't play Scribblenauts all that much...)

(And of course, Nintendo answered her question later that year! :P )

...and after that, I didn't post to Miiverse at all (except possibly replies to other people's posts since those aren't included in the backup?) from the 11th to the 17th, which at the time was my longest hiatus from Miiverse just by being my first more-than-a-day-long hiatus. I was probably busy moving into the dorm again and getting ready for the spring 2013 semester of college. :)

So when I was writing my previous entries, I noticed that there seemed to be a glitch where new embedded YouTube videos on LJ wouldn't show up for some reason (even though at least one still shows up in an old entry). I was forced to just put text links to them all instead.

I decided to post an entry with videos I haven't embedded on LJ/DW before in it to see if it works now/works any better when I'm crossposting from DW to LJ.

And what better way to do that than show you guys an underrated YouTube channel I discovered a few years ago and somehow haven't mentioned here until now (except for how I think "michelleheafy" is in my ridiculously long interest list in my profile)?







Her voice is so soothing... as one commenter put it, "This is what it would sound like if Enya composed Mario soundtracks." (Yes, someone BESIDES ME said "Enya" and "Mario" in the same sentence, and it's not even a reply to anything I said/wrote. I'm as surprised as you are!)

Those of you who recommended I stay away from YouTube because it seems like a bad place for me... this is one of the reasons why YouTube is mostly a good place for me. :)

You know Super Smash Bros., right? That fighting game starring such iconic video game all-stars as Larry, Mario, Princess Twinkie, Yogi, Kong 1, Zelda, The Beautiful Woman Interviewing Me, Shamu, Pudgy Airplane, Donald Duck's Offspring, Wombat?, Crash Bandicoot, Yellow Man, Charlie Brown, King Arthur, Knights of the Crooked Sword, Pegasus Dude, The Princess of Something, Triangle-Nosed Boy, The Unknown Yoga Person, Kid With a Crazy Sword Thing, Garfield and Friends, Something the Hedgehog, a LEGO, Happy, and more? ;)

Yeah, apparently, at some point around the time the 3DS and Wii U versions were released, there was a trend of people on YouTube showing their relatives (or, in at least one case, random people) all the playable characters' artwork and asking them to try to guess their names.

These are all of the videos of this sort that I've found so far*, and most of them are just so funny that even if you have no interest in video games whatsoever, I recommend that you watch at least one! :D (I highly recommend not reading the comments on certain ones, though...)




( Cut because I included 12 more, but they're great! )

*Except for one that's in Spanish and doesn't have enough subtitles for me to understand anything besides the characters' actual names. Also, eventually I found that there were so many that I decided to narrow it down by just watching ones that had at least a thousand views for now (though that was after I watched a couple that had less).

Offer up this entry to Some Goddess Person

( Original meme (Warning: I used to try to come up with a unique name for the backwards version of every song I wrote down backwards lyrics to, and some of the names sound weird to me now. Especially when the song has no lyrics and so I just used the "opposite" of the original title.) )

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
7. No cheating and doctoring your list to make yourself look cooler than the person you took this from

( New answers! )

You can tell I have a lot of video game music now - and I still haven't actually finished adding all the video game soundtracks that I want on my iPod!

I also removed backwards music from my iPod a while back - I still like backwards music, but at some point it turned out that I wouldn't have enough room for both forwards and backwards versions of every song I have so far.


What’s your sequel’s soundtrack?

So I had a Spanish test today. (By the way, I have that kind of test every Thursday, most of the time. They aren't that long except for, like, the end of the semester.) My Spanish teacher had forgotten to put the Spanish word for "damsel" on the matching section, so she said to just omit it. Guess what I wrote next to the English word?

"In another castle test."

Heehee!

¡Gracias Mattio! ¡Pero su poste está en otro diario!
