Statue Of Your Mom.

I have now completed Uncharted 2! I think possibly my favourite part of the game, save the perfect opening and ending scenes, is the bit where Nathan and Flynn are working together and just snipe at each other the entire time. Hee!

I did come to like Chloe, in the end, which pleased me. I like her the most when she's with Elena. Then again, I also like Nathan and Sully the most when they're with Elena. Is there any character that can't be improved by the company of Elena Fisher?

Well, yes, probably. Pyramid Head, for example, would probably stab her, which I wouldn't approve of. But she definitely brings out the best in the main cast of the Uncharted series.

(NATHAN AND ELENA

HEARTS FOREVER

they are adorable and I 'ship them so much. The way they work together and worry about each other when they're in danger; the way they poke fun at each other in quiet moments. The ending. ♥!)

The first thing I did upon beating the game was purchase the 'Dirty and Beat-Up' character model for Drake, so he can be covered in blood whenever I please. Although I do also love his winter jacket. Mildly saddened to find that the character model on its own doesn't cause him to stagger around in obvious pain. I swear I'm not a bad person.

The second thing I did was load up the 'Where Am I?' chapter and pet the hell out of some yaks. (Forget every other criticism levelled at it: the worst thing about Final Fantasy XIII was the fact that it wasn't possible to cuddle the little round sheepy things. The first time I saw a yak in Uncharted, I immediately steered Nathan in its direction and was saddened when he didn't interact with it. But, as it turns out, it is in fact possible to pet the yaks! Amazing!)

I've only realised upon writing this that these two things display very different sides of my personality.


Unrelatedly: why are the radio and television trailers for this year's Children in Need (for the benefit of non-UKers: Children in Need is an annual television event to raise money for children's charities) backed by the song 'Fuck You' by Cee Lo Green? I am really confused.

*brohoooof~* Oh man, that's awesome! Whatever the other power is is the one mine has. I can't check because she's been locked in sleep for the last couple of days due to Pokemon Dreamworld; site maintenance trapped her on Monday, and last night my internet provider was down! Poor Lilligant, I hope she's faring well in the land of dreams! ;o;

PS this is totally inane but last night I caught a Clefairy and was really happy

Oh noes! I hope you're able to get her out soon. In the meantime, hopefully she has pleasant dreams about... idk, sunlight? What do grass Pokemon dream of?

I had that one in my first run-through, but she got boxed fairly early because I SUCK at raising grass-types. I think it might be Chlorophyll? I can't remember. (Just looked, that's right. Unless you've unlocked her hidden ability Leaf Guard?)

I named mine Pomona. All my team this runthrough are named for Hogwarts Professors; Grass-type = Herbology professor was by far the easiest.

Well, the Dreamland thing lets you water gardens of plants, and that seemed pretty 'I'm a plant and like this idea' to me so I figure she's dreaming about gardens full of happy plants!

I have not unlocked her hidden ability! So yes, it must be Chlorophyll, I think.

Haha, that's brilliant! I name mine by friends' usernames on LJ, and when I run out of those, by random mythological or literature type figures. Zekrom ended up being Othello, and I still ought to feel more bad about that terrible pun, I'm sure, haha.

I am still hunting for a cubone like crazy! I didn't even care that much about him but after drawing all those pictures last year for Riona's poll, I'm kind of fond of the guy!

Ah, well, she should be happy then. (As soon as I read that I had to draw this (http://i39.tinypic.com/27i1l.jpg). Happy Lilligant!)

Well, that gives her a speed boost in sunshine, which is handy.

I'm afraid I don't get it. D: Perhaps if you explain the joke?

I've always loved Cubone. They're so cute! I'm planning to get one if I ever pick up FireRed again and name him Gusosaurus.

SO CUTE!

True, true. She's very quick, I love that about her.

Oh! I named him Othello because he is the black pokemon, and for some reason his majestic appearance made me think of Othello, the Moor of Venice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Othello). I suppose it's not a very good comparison, since Othello kills his wife at the end of the play.

Cubone~ Oh, man, that is an excellent plan. I think I might be able to snag one by continuing this Dreamland business, not sure. If I do, I will name him bubbles, as we are both fans!

Hopefully your Othello won't? Just don't leave him at the DayCare with any of your other Pokemon.

I was one of the ones campaigning so hard for Cubone to win. It wasn't so much my love for Cubone (though I do love him), it was my desire to see something besides Pikachu, Eevee, or Vulpix win. (I'm a big supporter for the underdogs of any popularity contest.)

Yay!

Haha, good point! Well, since legendaries can't breed, I wouldn't leave him there alone anyhow.

Oh, awesome! Well, I was glad we made it as far as we did. Cubros for life? (I totally understand about the underdog feeling! I like some of the less openly cute pokemon pretty darn well, Cubone being one of them.)

I like to use the Daycare for its originally intended use, that of training the Pokemon I'm too lazy to. So it wouldn't be unusual to me to leave a Legandary in one.

Cubros! If we're going to be Cubros, may I friend you?

Ohhh, I see. I only do that with pokemon I want to evolve for my pokedex, but can't be bothered to actually carry around until they evolve- honestly I usually totally ignore legendaries, but Zekrom has grown on me.

Totally! \o/ I will friend you back!

That's generally the ones I'm too lazy to raise myself. XD

Yay!
