I now declare you Campleted.
And now, I am going to 'Wii-view' it. Also, SPOILER ALERT Before I continue, if you haven't played LoZ: Spirit Tracks, and don't wish to hear (read) any spoilers, then might I suggest stop reading this journal. If you don't care about spoilers, then continue reading. 8D
Before I say anything. No, it wasn't a complete mock-up of the previous title; "Phantom Hourglass". But I'm not going to say it doesn't have the same elements as PH. It's the very same engine as PH, so the controls, and most of the visual graphics are the same. And also, I hate it when people complain about how there is technology in this game. So what? ST takes place circa 10,101 years after Ocarina of Time, so somewhere in that time frame someone decided to take a step forward in the evolution of society. Heck, Majora's Mask was one year after OoT, and one boss is a frickin' (author's note; censored due to the fact I don't wanna get in trouble with my fiancée's parents) mechanical bull.
Well, anyway. The plot of ST is that The Hero of Winds (Link) and Tetra find a new land, and call it 'Hyrule'. I'm going to refer to it as 'New Hyrule', just so things aren't as confusing. Well, in New Hyrule there was this on-going war with the Demon King, and the Spirits (Anyone who just thought 'Armageddon' may now treat themselves to a cookie). The Spirits cannot defeat the Demon King, so instead they lock him into the earth, using train tracks as chains and the Tower of Spirits as a lock. 100 years later. Soon to be Hero of the Tracks (Link) has to go to New Hyrule Castle to get his Engineer's Certificate from Princess Zelda. Well, after the ceremony, Zelda asks Link to help her sneak out of the castle. He does so, and on the train ride to the Tower of Spirits, the Spirit Tracks disappear. Train crashes. Recovering from the wreckage, Chancellor Cole (bad guy) and his minion Byrne attack Link and Zelda. Cole kills Zelda, and they take her body away. But, Zelda's spirit now follows Link around. And they figure out that they have to go to the four temples and save the spirit tracks so the evil Demon King isn't resurrected in the body of Zelda blah-be-blah-be-blah.
Onto the gameplay of ST. It's fairly simple, your stylus is used for everything. So if you wanna play this game but lost your stylus to you couch last week, then get to digging, Billy, because if you don't have it you're fricked. Unlike PH, ST has some new weapons, such as the Whirlwind. To use this item, you actually have to blow into the mic. Same thing for the 'Spirit Flute', you blow into it to play the notes. So if you don't have a pair of lungs, might wanna search your couch for those, too.
I've made the argument that graphics don't make the game, heck I still play games with 8-bit sprites, but I can tell Nintendo kinda' rushed in this department. The trees and rocks on the overworld look like cardboard cut-outs.
Overall, it's a good game. The dungeons are challenging but not difficult (though there are only six of them), the bosses are fun and can be re-fought, the train is long and arduous, but there's plenty of things to do, like shoot rocks, or shoot pirates, or catch bunnies, or shoot spiders, or taxi people, or do chores for people.
I never do the star rating system, I think it's rather idiotic as it isn't a real review, but if you have to ask I'd give it a . Good game, but could use some improvements.

Okay, not really that new. I've been writing stories since I learned the basic art of writing. But lately, I've been inspired to work on actual novels. Even though I really wish to, I can't print out my Dæmonic Eye series (a collect ion of 5 books in itself) and sell that for profit, unless I take the time and edit out every. Single. Zelda. Reference. Have you been reading STS? That's quite a lot. But my latest book I've finished: "The Maddening Cases of Netherlandish VonDutch: Forlorn Vaults" might be coming out in your local Barnes&Nobel. That is, if I can find a publisher.
And, "L2D" is being made as an allusion to my fanboyish obsession with zombie video games. It's a fairly short story, but I think it'd be a good book. Read it as I upload it. 8D
Also, I had an idea to do a romance novel...with vampires. Any of you that thought "Twilight" when you just read that last sentence can now leave. I'm actually going to make this book in dedication of trying to put the faggotry that Twilight had made vamps into behind us, and start off fresh. Step 1: Vampires that burst into flames when exposed to sunlight, not sparkles. Romance novels can have brutish killing in them can't they? Eh, screw it.

In Video Game News:
Been playing with my Wii a lot more lately (giggity). Rented "Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles" and "NEW Super Mario Bro's Wii". Both really great games, and wish I had the money to purchase them. Wish I had the money to buy ANY game. ;~;

In Music News:
Five Finger Death Punch's "War is the Answer" album is pure genius in a can, er, disc. Favourite tracks; "Hard to See", "No-one Gets Left Behind", "Bulletproof", and "Bad Company", though personally every track has its own brand of awesome.

Ja, so guess what. I lost my flashdrive. My "sacred icon", if you will, it houses the remnants of my previous computer. Sprites, stories, log, funny images I stole from /b/, once again, everything. What makes me even more mad at the fact, part IX of Sword Through Swords was done, and all I needed to do was make the chapter image and it'd of been done. And to rub salt into the proverbial wound, the not-even-close-to-be-nearly-completed Fallen Angel, Ascended Dæmon was also lost. And I've been working on FAAD since Freshman year. I'm a Junior now, do the math.

Well, that answer's a yes. The answer to if I'm actually going to be uploading any art soon? Not so much. I've been sketching my little hands off for the past couple years, it's just my scanner's been Jewish lately(NOTICE! Any member of the Hebrew faith that I just insulted by using that term, chill out. I come from Hebrew heritage, it's just my terminology ). Well, from what my male parental unit stated the other day, he hooked it back up to my female parental's computer. So I might actually have to check and see if it works. I'd like to think my art has greatly enhanced from the rest of the crud I have uploaded on here. I've shown a couple items of my work, so she can vouch for me.

On another note. Inglorious Basterds SUCKED. WHY!?! I was looking so forward to seeing this movie. I hate the Nazi-regime, being Dutch and all. However they had something in the movie I want to get. A glove with two shotgun shells on it, so if you put enough force into a punch it blows two holes into your opposing NAT-ZEE. Also, the scalping wasn't a lie.

Also, my brother just revealed to me he got the Rise Against CD "Appeal to Reason", to anyone with a musical sense in their body should get this CD, or be a pirating bastard and download it. YouTube a couple of their songs, and if you like them, GET THIS CD. If you don't get it anyway.

Well then, arms away!

Shut up, I needed some kind of an opening for this journal, I couldn't think of anything. Well anyway, time to put something here. Well after my last computer went boom I've been working on stuff slowly via USB flashdrive. And people whom are currently watching me, if you could actually start commenting on stuff? Dank u.

Mam en Pap alsjeblieft stoppen met lezen mijn spullen, je bent nooit te begrijpen.

Where was I? Oh ja. Well Sworn Through Swords is creeping along nicely. I'm going to start adding more fighting and less plotline because apparently that's that I was basing this story around. Even though the fight scenes are alot like pancakes, always better in my head. Did I use that line already? Eh screw it. Well, I'd like to do a recap of S.T.S. to use waste some space in this journal.
Part I; The Calm Before the Storm. The begining and introduction to the three main characters (Which incase you haven't noticed I've based off characteristics of me due to my massive ego). Introduces Mikri; whom of which I completely changed aside from hair colour. And a bit fo Roc; changed alot from my other version of him.
Part II; Clinging to the Past. This one didn't come out how I had origonally planned. It shows a little more into the Hylian Honor Guard, most importantly Slayer. I actually had a "beta" sketch of Slayer somewhere in my various sketches on this site.
Part III; The Preliminaries. The actual fighting part of the story starts here. The three fight three Hyrulean soldiers. When writing this one I had the image of the Twilight Princess guards in my head, so if that helps explain it any.
Part IV; Descried. Away from the main characters, I introduced the antagonists of my Daemonic Eye series. Daimao (the God of Akumas), and Umbra (evil warlock who ravaged the country of Naux). Not really much to say here, just conversations and plot development.
Part V; Slayer's Consternation. This one has both the team beating up people two times their height and age, along with the criptic relationship between Cam and Slayer. Please PM me your theories on how Slayer and Cam know each other and I'll laugh and tell you that you're wrong.
Part VI; Umbrage. If you haven't read this one then I think you should stop reading this and click the [link] . If you have read it, then I applaude you and would like comments, dammit. Well anyway, I finally get some antagonist interferance in the story now. Once again criptic relationships are a secret passion of mine. The Umbra/Malchior one I actually reveal in F.A.A.D. Because otherwise, the epilouge would make no sence.

Anyway, countinue to watch me, and I shall countinue to talk to the air.
