Shin- I envy you.

Starbound- I like shocking/horrifying art. The drama is good.

Mimmi- Well, the blade is dull, meaning that he couldn't slice a log in half. Well, in one try, anyway. And it's still pointy enough for stabbing.

..Yeah, I know.

Godel- Wow, I did not know that. *trots off to Merlo's Cutlery*

Mal- Damn schools with far superior arts programs. *shakes fist*

I think it's time for a little Pikmin 2 update.

For a couple of days I was pretty stuck in the game. There were no areas I could access without the aid of blue and yellow Pikmin. That wouldn't be that much of a problem.. If the blue pikmin weren't behind an electrified fence that only yellows can touch, and the yellows were nowhere to be found. Thus I was stuck, with no accessible treasure, wasting days gathering red Pikmin.

Now I forget exactly how, but I finally found a little area in one of the areas that you could throw your Pikmin onto. Then I found that you could go around another way by yourself, Pikminless.. This, of course, was much easier with the help of the second captain, Louie. Soon enough, I found a piece of a globe that let me go to a new area and find the yellow Pikmin, which in turn got me the blue Pikmin the next day.

So I explored. There were tons of little areas that were only accessible through the magic of the aquatic blue Pikmin, and I came across three new caves filled with wonderful treasures.

And they are all insane. Each one of them is more freaking crazy than the last. Throughout two of them, explosive rocks drop from the ceiling and, if you're not careful, they can take out all of your Pikmin. I lost thirty-something the first time one dropped, and there were a couple other incidents that were almost as traumatic. By the end of the eight-layer Bulblax Kingdom cave, I had thirty Pikmin left, mostly yellow. The Emperor Bulblax was the final boss of the level, and so I weighed the options.

Me, thirty Pikmin.

Him, the ability to crush fifty Pikmin in one fell swoop.

Me, carrying most of my hard-to-come-by Purple and White pikmin which are not quite as useful in such a battle as Red pikmin.

Him.. Well, isn't it obvious? I left all of my treasure behind and hauled ass. Similar events occured in the other two caves.

So now I suppose I'll just have to build my resources and try to find more above-ground treasure, heh.

Number of Pikmin: 432
Number of Treasures: About thirty, I think.
Amount of debt paid off: 3300 Pokos.
Louie's condition: Still alive, but I hope he dies a painful death, because he sucks.

Teh SillyCircus Day 19- I think that Raiden would get more fanfare if he died.
