FINALLY
AT LONG LAST
I HAVE COMPLETED THAT SCREENSHOT ADVENTURE TUTORIAL/RESOURCE POST-TYPE THING I SAID I WAS GOING TO DO AGES AGO though this is really more of a resource post than a tutorial.

Keep in mind that since I'm pretty much just throwing this together based on what I know and do, there's probably a lot of sites or programs or methods out there that I am not aware of. Because of this, I'm asking everyone who reads this to let me know if you have something you'd like to add. If you don't have something you want to add, BUT you have a question that wasn't answered in this, ask me and I'll do my best to answer it and add it into the guide. I want to make this as strong as possible, and I'm gonna need you guys' assistance to do so. I'll even give you credit!

( And now that my awkward pretext is out of the way... )

If you have any comments, suggestions, links, or hey, maybe even some helpful tutorials of your own, feel totally free to let me know and I'll work it in here.

Speaking of screenshots, I'm planning on doing another adventure... soonish. I'm still working a lot of things out right now. I think you guys will like the selection for the next voting post, though.

P.S. go join screencappery

Okay, guys. This is it. THIS IS IT.
THIS IS... well, almost the end. We still have about one more update to go. BUT WE'RE ALMOST THERE MAN WE'RE SO CLOSE.

When we last left off we got Bahamut, ran around inside the Giant of Bab-il, fought the Four Fiends again, blew up the Giant, found out that Golbez is Cecil's brother, got Kain back, and went back to the Moon. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

( so hey i sure hope you like battling, because )

On a side note hey official FFIV DS site. It's in Japanese, but it's real easy to navigate. LOOK AT HOW AWESOME EVERYONE LOOKS OH MAN. Dark*Cecil, Yang, Edge, and Kain look especially badass, if you ask me (Yang looks so cool that I actually blurted out OH MAN YANG LOOKS AWESOME when I saw him). Palom kind of looks like a girl, though. Golbez sounds awesome and Kain's voice is a lot deeper than I imagined. Also, why do Cecil, Kain, and Edward have purple lips? What is this.
And haha, I like how Kain's BEAUTIFUL FLOWING HAIR is actually visible in this version. You can sort of see it in his profile shot in the original, if you look, but it's real easy to miss. THIS TIME HIS HAIR IS IN YO FACE

ack people nagging me gotta go

Still accepting requests, guys. I need to get started on those :O

Wow thanks for those incredibly vivid and disgusting nightmares, sub-conscious, that's great.

Hey, this might be old news to some of you, I just found out a couple days ago... but apparently the Tourretes Guy is dead. He got in a car accident and died in his sleep while he was at the hospital or something like that. 'Happened in August. I don't know why that bums me out as much as it does :< I loved the Tourettes Guy.

Ganked this off of stardust_halos. THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER SEEN
Phoenix Wrong - Guilty Pleasure. Worth watching just to see the adorable opening movie, if nothing else :D Watch out for a couple of (mild?) PW2/PW3 spoilers, though.
REPPUKEN

Anyway, I gots me some FFIV screenshots to show you. When we last left off we went through the Sealed Cave, got the crystal, fought a wall, lost the crystal thanks to Kain getting possessed again, met Cid who put a drill on the Falcon, went to the Town of Monsters and fought Asura and Leviatan, and gave some adamant to Kokkol so he can make us a sword. What happens next?!

( Heh, this is mostly just wandering around, I'm sorry to say. )

Sorry this is so short. I'll try and get another episode up as soon as I caaaannn. Hopefully when I'm feeling less out of it.

Edit: OH YEAH AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIYAMOTO I LOVE YOU I still need to check out Super Mario Galaxy, that reminds me.

Aaaaarrrrgggggg

In less annoying news, Trauma Center: New Blood comes out on the 20th! This one's going to actually have a new storyline and stuff, which I'm excited about since it bugged me that Second Opinion was pretty much just Under the Knife for the Wii. And there's two-player mode! And it's going to be fully voiced! giggitygiggitygiggitygiggity

Does anyone have any idea when Dimentium: The Ward will be out? Is it out? It looks neat. And incredibly creepy.

Oh yeah, also, everybody needs to check out FreeRice.com. You basically just define words, and for every word you get right these guys donate 10 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. It's really addicting! When I played it for the first time I wound up donating, like... 4,100 grains or so in one sitting. MUST DEFINE WORDS ASDFS

So aaaaanyway, it's time for some more FFIV! When we last left off we went a-runnin' around the Tower of Bab-il, fought Dr. Lugae, stopped the Super Cannon from killing all the dwarves, lost Yang, escaped, lost Cid, installed a hook on the airship, got back the hovercraft, and now we're about to go through the Cave of Eblana so we can sneak back into Bab-il and get those crystals. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

( If the Vikings were around today, they would probably be amazed at how much glow-in-the-dark stuff we have, and how we take so much of it for granted. )

Huh, we're actually about... I'd say maybe halfway or a little over halfway done? Neat. Man I wish these hiccups would stop.

Man, I keep having these somewhat vivid dreams about death and injuries and stuff. Like I had this one really gross one where I had this gaping hole in my bellybutton and you could see organs and stuff... although, of course, my dreamself was just like "EHHHHH I GUESS I'LL SEE A DOCTOR... AFTER I EAT THIS SANDWICH THAT IS" so y'know.
Hahahaha but then, of course, I have this one "nightmare" where some comedian or something was whining about how the Wiimote is a ridiculous controller and the audience kept cheering, and I was sitting at a table somewhere covering my ears and yelling THE WII CAME OUT AGES AGO GET OVER IT ALREADY AAAAAAAA and then I was all annoyed when I woke up. i don't even want to know what kind of nerd that makes me

Darn, Phoenix Wright didn't get here today. I KNEW I SHOULD'VE PREORDERED AT THE STORE eh well. What can ya do. At least this gives me a chance to PLAY SOME FFIV YEEEEAAHHH

When we last left off, we ran around the Tower of Zot, fought the Magus Sisters, lost Tellah (to DEATH), got Kain back, rescued Rosa, fought Vilvalis, teleported back to Cecil's room in Baron, and found out that there are actually some more crystals out there aside from the ones we've been searching for thus far, and apparently said crystals are in the Underworld. Better go get 'em, then!

( does anyone want my sausage bits )

Hey, it actually didn't take me too long this time. Awesome.

Speaking of screenshots, I've been thinking of maybe doing a sort of tutorial/tip/resource post for people wanting to do screenshot adventures of their own and are just starting out and stuff :O Would anyone be interested? Is there someone else who was planning on doing the same thing and is really wanting to do it instead? Let me knooowww

Also, be sure to check out zarla, who is doing a Space Quest I adventure, and neutraltwin, who is doing an Illusion of Gaia adventure :D WOO

Man, I had this dream last night about eating waffles. They were pretty big, too... not like GIANT but kind of big for waffles. And they were really crunchy and fluffy and delicious. I was all disappointed when I woke up and realized we didn't have any waffles in the freezer :( SIGH

AAAAANYWAAAAAY let's play some FFIV. Where did we leave off... ah, yes. Cecil became a paladin, Tellah remembered his spells and also learned Meteo (which he can't use, btw, since it costs more MP than he will ever have), we reunited with Yang (though not before having an EPIC FIGHT with him where he suddenly has thousands of HP, even though he actually only has about 800+), we snuck into Baron through the underground waterway, defeated Baigan and Kainazzo, reunited with Cid, lost the twins (they got stoned lol get it omg), got an airship, met Kain who told us he'd trade his level 100 Charizard Rosa for the Crystal of the Earth, and now we're going to Toroia to get said crystal. LET'S GO

HEY GUESS WHAT MY BROTHER'S STAYING UNTIL NOVEMBER 1ST WOOOOOO i'm all excited. He's gonna bring his new girlfriend and stuff, too, which should be interesting. Kinda curious about what she's like and everything. She seems nice from what I've seen, though, a lot more outgoing than Julia and stuff :O Should be fun.

I've been getting all into Princess Tutu, lately. It's actually a very well-done show, I really enjoy it 8D It's also the GRANDMASTER OF CLIFFHANGERS jesus. And I can't even count how many times its made my hair stand on end, just from the way they execute a certain scene or word things and... it's hard to explain. JUST WATCH IT OR SOMETHING. I've been getting the episodes off of Veoh. Apparently they have this new deal where you have to download Veoh TV or whatever to view full videos, and I know that sounds like a pain, but it's worth it. I say you get it, if not for Princess Tutu then for other stuff, since Veoh actually has a pretty darn fair collection of shows and the like :B And it's not like YouTube where everything gets deleted after like a week. So yeah.

I preordered Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations! For those not in the know, if you preorder the game then you get a free Phoenix Wright plushie. HOW CAN YOU RESIST ITS ALLURE whew I'm sure glad I remembered it was through GameStop 'cause I almost ordered from Amazon for a moment, there. THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE. Man, I can't wait for that game.

woo tired

Hahahaha man I read this hilarious Seifer/Squall fic the other day. It involved Squall secretly being an angel but not being able to tell anybody, and was the victim of this conspiracy planned by Rinoa and Ultimecia to get him and Seifer 2gethr 4evr so Ultimecia could send him to Hell, and even though in the end Squall manages to single-handedly change the course of Seifer's life in just about every way possible, Seifer is totally cool with it because HE JUST LUVZ SQUALL SO MUUUUCHHH and it was just really ridiculous. Maybe I should recap it for you guys or something |B

Whooooaaaa this is awesome. Not much of a point or anything, but awesome. I AM FASCINATED BY SHINY THINGS, I CANNOT TELL A LIE

Reckless Justice! Stole this one from calvin_hawkins. I DROVE... RECKLESSLY

Anyway HEY HEY HEY WHO'S UP FOR SOME FFIV sorry about the delay, there. I've been having a lot of trouble motivating myself to do these and I dunno why :O Just going through kind of a funk, I guess. I think I'll try taking and prepping a bunch of shots in advance, so that way, once it's time for the next episode, all I'll have to do is code everything and write commentary. That should lessen the desire to procrastinate, hopefully. IF NOT THEN I'M AFRAID WE'RE ALL SCREWED wait no

So let's seeeeeee... when we last left off we met Yang, who led us to Fabul and had us help defend the castle and the Crystal of Air against Golbez and the Red Wings (there's a band name for ya). After fighting for a billion years (five minutes) and continuously retreating like a bunch of sissies, Cecil and co. hold their ground in the Crystal Room. Kain walks in, we find out he's all evil, Golbez walks in and babbles and kidnaps Rosa, angst. Cecil, Yang, and Rydia decide to sneak into Baron on a boat so they can ask Cid for an airship, and the king says he'll get one for 'em. WILL THIS BOATRIDE BE A LEISURELY ONE, OR WILL IT LEAD TO NOTHING BUT PAIN AND STRIFE? LET'S FIND OUT!

Man, I've got this neat flash idea for this song. Too bad I know, like... nothing about flash. Well, I can make an object fly around in a circle, but I can't really make a very good movie with that. Just have something fly around with OHHHH YEEEEESSSSS I'M FIIIIIIIINNE in the background man that wouldn't work at all. I should really learn flash one of these days, though, since I have a few ideas for it and I don't really want them to go to waste. Hmmmm

Anyway, tiiiiiiiiiiiime for sum FFIV! When we last left off, Cecil and Kain had just defeated D. Mist or Dragon Mist or whatever it's called and are now on their way to Mist. Let's see what happens next!

Jeez, the PSP gets more and more tantalizing the more I hear about it. Maybe I should get a job or something :B

So hey I've been thinkin'
I'VE BEEN THINKIN'
I've been thinkin' I'm gonna start screencapping a new game. Just 'cause... I dunno. I need something to do.

Anyway TIME TO VOTE ON THINGS GAMES STUFF I AM STRANGELY ENERGETIC RIGHT NOW THIS MOOD JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE

( GAMES )

In other news, I've decided to start posting website updates on antiquemanthong instead of here. It's just better organization-wise, privacy-wise, and plus I can just rattle off updates without feeling like I have to make some big entry to stealthily weave them into. Soooo uh if you guys care at all about my lame websites, you should probably head over there. |B

Wow, I'm almost sixteen. That's a strange thought.

Soooo turns out we're not going to Seattle. In a nutshell, when we moved to this house we had trouble selling the old one so we just rented it out, but now it has all these terrible problems going on with it that we have to pay for and it's going to cost us thousands of dollars. So there goes our extra cash.

On the bright side, that at least frees up my schedule so I can do other stuff. Not to mention John is going to come here in August (his band is going on tour), and plus I'm sure he'll come here for Christmas and all so it's not like we wont get to see him this year or anything. I just feel bad we can't do more to help.

BUT ANYWAY enough of that. It's time for...
SUPERSTAR SAGA!

Woooo we're practically at the end of the game, now. I can't believe how quickly this run-through has gone by, especially compared to how Chain of Memories took me like SEVEN MONTHS. Then again I was lazier and got stuck a lot, so
