Sonic must proud..
Smash 64 Skirt
 by Vongore on 03.01.2008      14 comments




Well, i'm back from my summer holidays so i can post again (not as if i had posted a lot before). I went to Paris and had a great time

Well, anyway, when i came back my girlfriend told me that she wanted to do a "Super Smash Bros." themed skirt, for her use (She's Lolita, so she makes a lot of skirts), so she asked me to make some sketches but in the end i only made one.



She loved it, obviously it will be better than this paint-made one, perhaps it will be bigger, with all brawl chars (maybe)...

I will post the final result. What do you think? should we add/remove some stuff?

Hope you help us, thank you

P.D: other idea, but not made is to put a lot of sprites in random positions, with smaller items, like 1up Mushrooms, fireflowers, Barrels, Bumpers with smash logo, etc.
Comparison..

Well, a lot of people (2 in my last post and like 5 on MSN xD) were kind of upset of me getting the games on the same date as the US launch date, but, my friends, here is were the thing goes a little bit dusty, Prices.

As i was reading (and i proved myself in my last US trip) games on the US don't go over U$50. I even bought Rayman Raving Rabbids on Wal-Mart for 30$. If i sum all my games bought there... it goes like

50$ Mario Strykers
45$ Pokemon Battle Revolution
30$ Rayman Raving Rabbids

That is like 125$ all three Games, now, let's see if i had bought them here

Rayman Raving Rabbids: - 60$ Dollars
Mario Strykers: - 70$ Dollars
Pokemon Battle Revolution: - 80$ Dollars

That Makes 140$ the three games together.... And i've already reserved my Smash Bros Brawl for 100$....

Also, Consoles are a pain on the Ass

Wii- 400$
Xbox360- 500$
PS3- 600$
Nintendo DS - 200$
PSP - 300$



As you can see, things aren't very cheap over here... but... we still've got games month before PAL zones, that's the only good point.
New blog is new

Well, after being lurking for almost a year i've decided to start myself a blog. i live on Chile (South America)
I had the original idea to show you how Gamer life can be in other countries (mine to be more exact), wich isn't as difficult as you can think. Yes, we might not have customer support or official retailers, but even if is that way we do have games in their launch date (I bought my Wii and my Pokemon Pearl for DS the exact day when they were launched)...

So, i hope i can like... uhm.. "teach", you how things can be outside UK or the States, and aside from that.. make some interesting posts


PD: I know that not every one is from one of those countries, there might be even other Chileans here... But anyway, hope you like it
Some Random Stuff about me:

I'm 18 years, from Chile (yeah, that little stretchy country next to Argentina)


Fortunately my English isn't that bad so i can keep a blog like this
Even if i'm a little young, i've played a lot of "classic" games, because i didn't owned a console until my Nintendo 64 in the 96' so i kept on playing in my uncle's Atari 5200, and some friend's NES, SNES and Genesis. So i might say that i'm a hardcore gamer
Also i enjoyed playing on the Arcades before that, and even now i go there sometimes playing my favorite game: Bubble Bobble (my record is reaching level 100 with only 20 coins *--*)

I own:

Wii
PS2
Gamecube
PS1
Nintendo 64
SNES
Sega Genesis
NES
Atari 2600
PSP
Nintendo DS
Game boy Advance
Game Boy Color
Game Boy Brick (you know, that gray one)

I'm planning to buy an Xbox360, but not yet.

My favorite game style are the Fighting ones, especially King of Fighters, Guilty Gear, Smash Bros, and Street Fighter. I'm an avid fan of the Doujin Homebrew *Can't wait for magical battle arena*.

I dislike 3D Zeldas and every game that looks like them, it killed the saga. So i play as many 2D games as i can (unfortunately, this only can happen on my DS T^T). Oh, and i hate Final Fantasy games :3
