I started writing this song (technically a piece since it has no words) on July 19, and I actually finished it later that day (aside from various tweaks over the next few days). It currently doesn’t have a name… but that’s where you come in! Leave a comment with any suggestions for a name. I hope you like it!
EDIT: Well it seems my new audio player plugin is breaking my Twitter updates up top, so I’ll post a link instead.
DOUBLE EDIT: It appears the plugin had nothing to do with the Twitter failure, but I’m too lazy to put the audio player back in this post. First I have to (attempt to) fix the Twitter updates.
TRIPLE EDIT: Just as I made the double edit, the Twitter update appeared up top. THIS IS MADNESS. I’m going to stick with the verdict in my original edit. I blame the audio player plugin.
QUADRUPLE EDIT: Okay, and just as I posted the triple edit, it disappeared. I’ve decided this is the work of the devil, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
FINAL EDIT: Let’s try this again.

I’d like to start off by thanking Roland for showing this to me.
I lol’d.
If you’re going to challenge someone to a fight, make sure that you actually stand a chance. That guy got absolutely destroyed… and he wasn’t wearing underwear. He probably shouldn’t show his face in public ever again.
My MexiFriend Vash showed me something extremely entertaining earlier tonight. It is an online genie named Akinator. I was a bit skeptical at first, but this thing is absolutely ridiculous. It guessed all of the following on the first try: Ganondorf, Arbiter, Atticus Finch, Gruntilda, Navi, Amaterasu, and some others that I can’t recall. Within a few more guesses, it also was able to come up with Makar, Issun, Vaati, and more. I’ve been trying to come up with obscure characters, but he always seems to be able to figure it out.
HOWEVA, I was able to defeat Akinator with Jinjonator. Flawless victory.
To those of you who don’t know what HUGRDICK Day is, you may not want to read this post. It probably won’t make any sense to you at all (I will, however, try to explain it a bit).
On July 5, 2008, Nintendo-Play became a center for Internet orgies. Maybe people were still feeling the effects of alcohol consumption from the holiday the previous day, or maybe they just decided it was a good idea to be horny. There were several cybering sessions throughout the day, and many were documented in this PhotoBucket album. For many of the Nintendo-Play regulars, this day has become legendary, as it was one of the most lulz-filled days in Nintendo-Play history (Nintendo-Play, for those of you who don’t know, is, unfortunately, no longer online). This screenshot shows how HUGRDICK Day received its name.
Something else rather spectacular happened that day as well – I met my best friend Roland. We watched the orgies together and exchanged many lulz over MSN throughout the day. Maybe we were both feeling a bit “friendship horny,” because we hit it off instantly. Since July 5, 2008, the two of us have talked almost every day. Although we have yet to meet in real life (although it will happen, I promise you), I truly consider him my best friend.
That’s why today is so special to me. Not only does it celebrate the lulziest day in Nintendo-Play history, but it’s also an “anniversary” of sorts to an amazing friendship.
Also, early this morning I remade one of my favorite songs from The Minish Cap to make it sound a bit more realistic. It’s called “Peace Returns,” and you can listen to it here. I hope you enjoy it!
Sorry about that. “What is this ‘Perfect Run’ you speak of?” you ask. Allow me to show you. SPOILER ALERT (sort of – you should be fine if you turn it off around 4:15).
It looks challenging, doesn’t it? DOESN’T IT? In order to access the Grandmaster Galaxy (which contains The Perfect Run), you have to first collect all 120 power stars. After that, 120 cosmic jewels (green stars) are scattered throughout all the galaxies. You must collect all of them. Upon collection the 120th cosmic jewel (star #240) and depositing 9999 star bits to your local Banktoad, the Grandmaster Galaxy becomes playable. Upon beating the galaxy normally, a prankster comet comes, unlocking The Perfect Run.
I know the video above makes it look easy, but trust me when I say IT IS NOT EASY. I don’t have an official death count for The Perfect Run, but I believe I died somewhere between seventy to eighty times. Let’s just say it caused me to rage A LOT. Although, as I mentioned in my previous post, it’s a good kind of rage. Not once did I feel as though the game was unfair or had poor level design. It was simply player error each time I failed. SIDE NOTE: The music during The Perfect Run is amazing: Good Egg Galaxy + Gusty Garden Galaxy = <3
Anyway, I beat The Perfect Run last night. I’m still feeling pretty 1337 right now. THAT IS ALL.
