[Finally my set-up seems suitable for the situation.]
You've all heard the Lavender Town Syndrome. This is worse. Much worse. LTS was an accident. This was intentional.
A few months ago I got a new game for my DS. I have played Pokémon for years and I really wanted to keep it that way. I have owned practically every Pokémon game for the Gameboy, the Advance and the DS. I got myself Pokémon Black. A good game. Strange storyline and for some reason, the people I know didn't like N.
Anyway, I played it for a bit and I realized that some of my friends had also got similar games. I told them to bring in their DS(s?) for a battle at lunchtime the next school-day (It was Friday). We all used nicknames. I was called Katsu, my 13-year old friend was called Vikki (Despite being a boy), my 12yo friend was called Kalin and the 16yo in my form who was a few days younger than me called himself Shadow.
If only he named himself differently.
Were it not for me being too busy playing Black Ops, I may have noticed the Facebook update.
I missed the bus on the way to school and came in a few minutes late. I missed registration and so had to go straight to my first lesson. None of my friends were in that lesson. But time continued and at lunchtime, I went to the room. It was crowded but the wireless system meant that we could all play.
Me, Kalin and Vikki were all sitting near eachother. We couldn't see Shadow anywhere. We waited for him to join the 2v2 battle match. We were about to use an AI in his place when 'Shadow' joined the match. We still couldn't see him but we continued anyway.
It was me and Shadow vs Vikki and Kalin. We were all around the same level so it seemed fair. Well, we were all around the same level when we checked on the Friday.
The match started a little weird. I sent out Dragonite and Vikki and Kalin sent out Venasaur and Golem respectively. Shadow didn't send out anything. I found that odd by I thought it was a glitch. I chose my first move, (Fly on Venasaur) and waited for the battle to start.
The screen went weird. No text appeared and I seemed to suffer a headache. The loud room sudden became completely silent. Not only that, but the room went dark. I looked around, the only light in the room was my DS. Somehow, I couldn't see the people next to me. Looking back at the screen, I saw that all the Pokémon had fainted but the text at the bottom read only a :).
I called out to the room and I heard my echo. That was too weird. I should have turned the game off. I didn't. Why? Maybe I was wondering about what happened. I should have sent out another Pokémon. The game wouldn't change it. 0HP. All Pokémon were at 0HP. The attack option appeared on screen. I selected it.
The screen listed not my attacks but instead it listed four options: Apologize, Regret, Suffer, Taunt. Only one of those was a move that could be used. I selected it. Taunt. I shouldn't have.
The screen turned black. I was scared. The room was completely dark for a few second but then, a blue light flickered in front of me. That was too weird. It was not even a light, it was like a ball of fire. I dared not move. I began to feel the hairs all over me tingle and then I felt a bony finger brush against my face. I tried to brush it off but touched nothing. An echo laughed at me. It laughed at me. It told me that fear would forever take over. I threw down my DS and tried to run as far away from the voice as possible.
I ran for ages. Five-Ten minutes without stopping. I eventually stopped to catch my breath and as soon as I did, the DS appeared in front of me. Floating. I grabbed it. I saw that it told me to choose an option. Fight or Run. I chose run. The DS showed a video of me, my actual person, running. A message came up below. It was all scrambled at first but the pixels eventually formed three words: You already did.
I panicked. This thing was watching me. I knew what I had to do. I pressed fight. I told Dragonite to Apologize. The laughter happened again. The room began to come back to me as I pressed it. I woke up.
I was apparently unconscious for over 30 minutes. Me, Kalin and Vikki all were unconscious. The teacher told us that the game flashed and we all fainted at the same time. Not the character in the game, but us. The room was deserted. Our DS's were on the floor next to us. The screen was off.
I ignored the Teacher and grabbed mine. I had an L on the back of it so I could identify it. I opened the Ds. I rebooted it and started to play the game again. I was curious about what it was that happened. I loaded the game and...
...I was in the middle of a battle. It wasn't even a scene beforehand. I loaded a battle. That was impossible. It was against a Pokémon named Shadow, supposedly in the wild. I had no Pokémon out. Just the fight option. There was no sprite on the screen. The room went dark again but then flashed. A man in a dark cloak was in front of me. I couldn't move at all, just my hand. There were the four options from before except Taunt was replaced with Courage.
I selected it.
I moved in a way unexpected, my body moved by itself and I got in a fight with this man. He disappeared when I hit him. The room turned red and then I...
I woke up in hospital a few days later. Thursday. I had a room all to myself except from someone in the bed a few over. I looked around. I was in the Coma ward. That was odd. To my left, I saw a few get well soon cards. They were from my classmates.
I grabbed the DS on the side by the Cards. I was about to turn it on when the man appeared in front of me. Not a doctor. A man in a dark cloak. He was real. I couldn't see his face but he congratulated me. He told me I won.
I turned on the DS. Everything was as it was before I started the battle with my friends. The game acted like there was a connection fault during the match. I checked everything about the game. All was normal. There was a weird flashing in the top left corner on the top screen. It flashed black and white continuously. It still does whenever I play the game.
I stood up. The man had disappeared. I went over to the other bed to see that the person had died five minutes ago, just before I woke up. It said so on the heartbeat machine. I stumbled or was tripped. I don't know. It looked like I stumbled but I knew that the man had tripped me. The DS hit the Heatbeat sensor machine. It broke it.
The person on the bed woke up. It was Shadow, my friend. I wondered how he got there. So did he. He told me that the last thing he could remember was playing Pokémon.
Kalin came in the room. He was going to visit us earlier but had tripped over. He told me that his game had just unfroze and that all had returned to normal. Apparently Shadow was on Facebook on Sunday and decided to play some Pokémon. He collapsed and had been in a coma ever since. His mum told all his friends that he was in a coma.
The man handed me a piece of paper. He walked through Kalin to hand it to me. On the piece of paper were a bunch of names. I gasped when I read it.
It was a table. 25 rows with no title. The first column was just a number, the second was a list of four names, the third all read success and the fourth was some kind of notes. The bottom list showed our real names, Me, Kalin, Shadow and Vikki. The success read failure.
I read all the notes. Apparently, all people had committed suicide after playing the game. None left a note. When it came to the bottom, notes read:
"Took place of [Shadow] and Taunted. [Katsu] beat my challenge. All four shall live."
I turned the page. I found out the true story.
I'm just glad that I'm not a quitter.
The true story on what happened, as said on the back of the page, is this:
"I was working on a part of the game that helped people to play together. I coded a new scene but it didn't work. I fell into a coma.
When I awoke, the game was released without my scene. I recoded it to do something different. I wanted revenged and so I began to distribute it to people.
Anyone who accessed the code at any point felt a ringing in their ears and fainted. The game then was programmed to find the people on the friends list of the person and challenge them to a 2v2. The 2v2 was just a way of spreading it.
The game would flash an image of my face before turning off and emitting a high pitch sound. This snapped a tendon in the brain and caused the player to fall into a coma. The process would then repeat.
However, my friend changed the coding to simulate a battle. Unfortunately for him, I found him and stabbed him with a knife. It was too late for me though, as the code was changed. He changed it so that the sound would only occur if the player loses a battle. I tried to erase the battle but I couldn't. I would always be a LV100 Mewtwo vs a LV2 Ratata where the Mewtwo only knows Aura Sphere. He made it so I couldn't change that.
I changed the battle so that the Ratata used Endevour (As it had 1HP) and then Tackle. I also changed the moves of Mewtwo. It listed then moves as something different and added 3 Tail Whip moves. but changed the names of all of the moves and randomly shuffled them. It was a game of Russian Roulette inside Pokémon."
The creepiest part about the letter is that it was written in blood. The man in black faded away. He must have been my imagination.
But should you ever get in a battle with someone named Shadow, turn off the game as soon as you see the name.

Lavender Town
Lavender Town may kill you. It's not helping that I am writing in red on black.
Note, I will tell you now about my two favourite RPG Game series. The first is Pokémon.
First part: Play Pokémon again. It is worth it.
Now for the story. I read the full original story at 4am.
Lavender Town had music and scenes composed by certain people. Due to a last second change, one of these scenes was changed. In the scene, the game would be rendered useless and the player character dies if they lose a Pokémon Battle. It was cut.
Forgetting that, the Japanese Original Release of the game had a different theme in Lavender Town than anywhere else. It had an undertone that could drive people insane. It caused headaches and pain. It was because of the frequency that was could only be heard by underdeveloped ears. Listen to the original theme and you will have a headache.
Even worse, the mere pain in the undertone caused death and suicide. Yeah. Listen to it through headphones. Prove it wrong. I dare you.
Seriously, listen to it. There is a slight difference. When you are scared, please, do not blame me.
In fact, I will cure you.
Pokémon? Lavender Theme may cause death due to the eerie music. But ignore that for a few minutes.
THE CURE TO LAVENDER TOWN SYNDROME (Google it) IS SIMPLE!
Music makes you depressed? Music shall cure you. I was scared (Remember, this was at 4am) and so decide to put down my laptop and grab my guitar. I played a riff (Well, two. To practice, I played Tubular Bells) and then after that, I played the song I had been trying to master. It saved me.
The song? Chocobo Theme. From Final Fantasy. It began to warm me. I then put down the guitar and listened to the whole soundtrack from FFXIII. Seriously.
The following songs will lift your mood in any situation:
The Promise,
Archylte Steppe.
Blinded by Light.
Everything else from the game.
I am honest. I was too afraid to leave the well lit room and venture into the darkness, I listened to these songs and it saved me. I felt happier and journeyed into the kitchen and made myself a nice cup of tea. Because of that, my mind has been saved. I feel okay.
Seriously, listen to the song a few times and then listen to music from FFXIII. It is a wierd experience.
Ohh, and I spell wierd like that because: "I before E except after C and before a silent G." and also because it is wierder to look at. Appropriate.

Anime Se-Kon-D Title
I'm bored. I'm typing something short:
Watch Haruhi. Watch InuYasha. Watch Death Note. Watch Bleach.
Why?
Bleach:
Epic fighting, awesome plot and character development. The filler episodes are actually decent (Most of the time) and it is on-going. New episode every Wednesday. Worth a watch.
Death Note:
An epic struggle between good and evil. Very interesting. I really recommend this.
ALSO like the page L (Death Note), it has a lot of interesting topics.
InuYasha:
A lot of fighting. Brilliant anime. The only drawback is the style. It is hard to find it Subbed. Seriously.
Haruhi:
Watch it or she'll smite you. That is it.
Ohh, one final thing about Haruhi:
There are two ways of watching it:
Broadcast order or Chronologically.
Broadcast is more exciting.
Chronology makes sense.
My choice? Alter the Chronology.
2, 3, 5, 10, 13, 4, 7, 6, 8, 1, 12, 11, 9, 14.
This way, you will understand it but save the conclusion for last.
Ohh yeah, Dying is for Zombies.

Call of the Dead
Okay, I have live and have downloaded this map pack. After playing for over 9000 seconds I came up with a stragedy. Yes, this is a walkthrough. Before I start, I have to confess that this is only partly complete. I have hit a snag and... Well, you'll find out.
Ohh yeah, this is done on Solo. For Multiplayer I would suggest some minor tweaking. Step 1 still works. I recommend Split-Screen... Let's just call this the:
Call of the Dead: Lone Xbox Disaster.
Round 0:
Yep. Zero. Nadda. Don't even begin to play if this step doesn't work. For this step, we will need to take advantage of two things:
1. The Sky.
2. The Pause Menu.
First, start the game. Look up at the sky. You will see a blue light. If the blue light is anywhere near the lighthouse, pause and select: RESTART LEVEL. After a while, you will see that it is on your right. Make sure that it is in the boat nearest to you (Near the hull). If not, restart level. This takes anywhere between 0 and 5 minutes.
There are 5 spawn spots. The Lighthouse (Base), The Lighthouse (Top), The Stamina Pool (Near Lighthouse, you have to travel through the lighthouse so that you can buy the Stamina-Up to reach it), The Far Boat (Very far away. Don't confuse this with the Near Boat) and The Power Box (Very close, on the near boat).
When it is in the Near boat, proceed to:
Round 1:
Simply, run past George and grab the Quick Revive. Then, run back to the Main area and find zombies. Aim for the chest and fire 4 bullets into each and then knife them. You should have around 1000 points at the end of the round (Possibly more, Possibly less.) Buy the M14, it is a lifesaver in the early rounds.
Round 2:
Finish your ammo (16 shots left if perfect) by firing one clip into each enemy and then knifing them. Switch to the M14 and AIM for the head. 110 points a Zombie is not to be sniffed at (Because Zombies smell).
At the end of this round (Or in the middle) buy the path to the Boat. You will not have enough to buy the next barrier.
Round 3:
In case you think I have been avoiding George, you're right. At the beginning, the small amount of Zombies and large space mean that you can be easily mobile and avoid him. This round, you'll be on the boat. Max Ammo? Get the 800 points from your pistol. But the main priority is getting those Headshots. To avoid George, stay away from the stair and clear a path of Zombies. This round should be easy Enough.
Round 4:
You should have around 2000-2500 points. Clear the barrier so you can ascend the boat. If you can afford it, buy the Mystery Box and swap out the pistol. Unless you get the dolls, the next mystery box will swap out the M14. Yes, swap it out. No matter what there is. Nothing is worse than the two I told you to start with. (Except the Olympia) Keep with the Headshot stragedy and stay up at the top (One window and stairs.)
Round 4 tip:
This is the main area. Stay near the Zipline (To the right coming from the stairs there is a barrier, turn and face the place to aim.) and as long as you have better weapons than the M14 (Though M14 works during round 4/5) then you should survive.
Round 5-8/9:
Two random weapons. They may be rubbish (Crossbow, Scavenger, V-R11) or excellent (LPK, Ray Gun, HK21) but as long as you have one of the weapons not on the following list, you should survive:
Starting Pistol.
Olympia.
M14.
V-R11.
Scavenger.
Crossbow.
These weapons are suicide. The top 3 (All available at start of the game) are too weak to save you. The bottom three (Each one involved in an Achievement) will either prove useless or the slow reload and high blast radius will kill you.
Okay, you'll be up here. This is your stragedy:
You are on top of the boat. Some Zombies will be coming in the window. At the perfect spot, you will be able to take these down as easily as the others. The rest of the horde will come up the stairs. Assault Rifles/LMGs will decimate the Horse in a heatbeat.
If the enemies are getting too close, take the zipline down. Also do this if you get downed.
You will be able to get a lot of power ups. DM, MN and IK will have the round in the bag. All else is unnecessary.
The main intention is getting some decent weapons. Ray Gun and HK21 is my favourite. Galil, Commando, RPK, AUG and V-R11 (ASSUMING YOU HAVE ONE OF THE OTHERS ASWELL) will suffice.
George. He will always get up to you.You cannot beat him. I find that if you shoot him then this has more meaning:
When George is really close (On the top of the boat) you want to zipline down and sprint to Revive Island. Hold of the swarm from here. If you get downed you can easily get the Revive here. At the end of the round, go back up to the spot. You will have 2-3.5 rounds until he arrives again. Pray for the weapons.
Round 6000+ points:
Not a round, a point total. The beginning of the round where you have 6000 points or more is best for this. Open the bridge and turn on the power. You now can PaP.
Ohh wait, you can't.
Do the stragedy again. You will be attack from all sides and become overrun really easily. Panic and you die. In real life. You will find yourself on Revive Island. This part will separate the winners and losers. Beat the round with one crawler and George. You need that crawler.
You should have ~10000 points and be at the end of round 9-11. Depending on how lucky you were with the box. If the box moved when you had bad weapons, you're stuffed.
This part can have many different levels of awesomeness. You can get the Paradise Achievement or make yourself awesome.
This is the awesome way:
Open up the second boat, the door to the end of the second zipline and the door from that area to the Juggernog. Get the Juggernog.
Open up the lighthouse (To the top).
Use the Lightouse to get the PaP.
PaP with this priority:
Ray Gun.
HK21.
RPK.
Commando,
Galil,
V-R11,
AUG.
When this is done, you will be low on points. But awesome. That is the problem.
First, unless you have the PaP Ray Gun and the V-R11, you shouldn't attempt the Paradise Achievement. Semtex doesn't help with Step 2. Good luck.
But at this point, with the PaP weapon, the Perk and the spot, you should be unstoppable.
Unless you have Porters and PhD Flopper, you're dead.
This walkthrough is incomplete. Here is the success rate out of 20:
Round 2: 1
Round 5: 1.
Round 8: 2.
Round 10: 6.
Round 11: 5.
Round: 12: 3.
Round 14: 1.
Round 18: 1.
See the problem? The walkthrough only covers up to Round 11. This is because:
1. I have attempted the Paradise. You need Frags or Rays. You're stuffed if you have less than 4 Frags or fail.
2. The stragedy stops working at round 10... Unless you have a PhD Porter.
So, this is the Medium-Level Walkthrough for Solo playing the Medium Levels.
Difficulty: 8/10.
You need to be able to pull of a headshot. You need to be competent with most weapons and you need luck.
If anyone can suggest how to get to round 15 using this walkthrough, please tell me.
However, I will tell you how to kill George. You need a Porter and a Hyena. Shoot to kill. Do not miss. Do this in crawler time. Easy? Not at all. Miss and you die.
Seriously, any expand on this is wanted. I played these rounds as Sarah Michelle Gellar. Looks like she can kill more than just Vampires.

However, I will tell you how to kill George. You need a Porter and a Hyena. Shoot to kill. Do not miss. Do this in crawler time. Easy? Not at all. Miss and you die.
Seriously, any expand on this is wanted. I played these rounds as Sarah Michelle Gellar. Looks like she can kill more than just Vampires.

Racism
Today, I will be writing about racism.
Now, in proper British society, Racism is a subtle way of being humourous. The Carry On Movies are a good example.
But what is offensive Racism? Well, personally I do not care too much but here is my way of explaining it:
If you are making a joke that could be seen as racist in a society of people of the same race as you or if you are of the race (Or there is a person who accepts racist jokes) then it is alright and accepted as Casual racism. It's not offensive if they don't know.
Pointing out a difference in race: "Hey, those African people are outrunning those French people" is not Racist. Black people doing better in Basketball or pointing out that a lot of Asian people have more money than you is not racist. Even pointing out that Americans are fat is not racist. This is known as Truthful racism.
However, there is a final one. Pointing out a defect and using it in an insulting way is Racist, any sort of Stereotyping to make something Humourous is racist. Discrimination and everything to do with it is Racist.
I will, however make this Joke:
A man is in love with his girlfriend, So in love that he decides to get his name tattooed on his penis. Her name is Wendy and so he gets it tattooed on his penis. It didn't go as planned and so when he doesn't have a boner, it says "WY"
A few days later he is at a public Urinal. A Black man next to him has the Letters "WY" Tattooed on his penis. The man asks: Did you also have Wendy Tattooed on your Penis?
The Black man says:
"No, it's supposed to say: Welcome to Jamaica, have a nice Day."

Black-Ops without live?
As you can probably tell, I've been playing a lot of CoD and so can talk about Black-Ops.
The first part is, for the multiplayer mode, there is no settings. If you plan on playing a custom game (Like every other game in the world) then I'm sorry, but you can't. You have to player certain set-ups. If you're going to take away our settings, at least give us bots for the non-livers.
Second, the enemies are a little biased in their attacking. If your teammates are standing right next to them in the open and killing them and you're behind a wall, prone and move ever-so-slightly so that you can barely see the side of their mask, they will all aim at you and shoot.
Third, the game has a lot of bugs. To name a few (Rebirth) there is a glitch where if you don't wait for Reznov before entering the area with the scientist (As Mason) then half of the conversation will be missing (Although, this is not important. Subtitles still work and the action happens)
But the worst part of the game is the following:
Error dobj for xmodel.
Yes, I am being serious, a slight error is the problem. On Rebirth there is a hard part outside the bio-base when playing as Hudson. This part is 70%-90% through the level. WHATEVER YOU DO, WHEN HE TAKES OFF HIS MASK, SAVE AND EXIT!!! (Don't care about the inconvenience, you'll be more annoyed if the Error comes up.
What happens is, when you are progressing, there is a chance that a faulty model spawns that has too many "Bones" and so the animation would be glitchy. Yep. Bones. In this case, bones are the strands that can be animated to make realistic movement. Use Pivot to understand if you have too...
The enemy may spawn at any point and when he does, you have to restart the entire level (Alternately, if you did what I did, the game will continue from the last save) and so you have to progress again. By the way, if it occurs once, don't think it wont happen again.
I'll explain the error in a little more detail later but for now, I'll explain what has actually happened. I played through the level (Took me an hour) and finally got past the enemies into the building. I ran inside, shot some enemies and... Error. I then had to re-do the whole level (Got stuck on one part, took a while) but made sure that I saved after the annoying parts (Mason, Before compound) and got to the part. Boom, Error.
Wait! What exactly is this error? How do you know what's causing it? The game stops immediately and the screen displays just an error message:
[All text in italics are a quote]
Error
dobj for xmodel
'c_rus_spetnaz_body1_g_larmoff' has more
than 160 bones (see console for details)
A Exit
As you can see, this is annoying. The game was made for those with Xbox Live and they can't be bothered to fix the game. I am restarting the level (Luckily, from the previous checkpoint) but would like to find a way to stop this. Treyarch is the Justin Bieber of CoD.

Poetry, Lyrics and Stories.
To me, writing is one of my favourite things. I have written quite a lot. I'm not professional (But consider myself to be... I've done worse) And so I think I should give some tips.
First off, I am the smartest person in my school at maths and the second smartest ever to go to my school. Yay! I have done the test and it is hard. An example of the questions is below:
"If X squared plus Y squared is X cubed, what are all the possibilities for X and Y which are intergers under 2011?"
And BTW, you get three makrs for stating every correct answer. To get the top marks, you need to prove it. Good luck.
Now for the writing. This is so important that it requires it's own heading so here it is:
Writing
Wow! A cool heading! So, what tips do I have?
First choose the subject. I like my poems the way the Japanese do, about stars and how they reflect the inner desires. A few Japanese lyrics are nice in English songs. Check out: "Life Is A Boat" for a good example.
When choosing a topic, make it original yet relatable. Songs about Neurotransmitting particles may be cool to you, but if people are going to not know about it, it can only function as humourous.
So, why am I talking about lyrics and poems as if they are the same thing? Because they are! A song is just a poem with Music.I'd say Epizeuxis and Ana / Epiphora are good poetic devices. For the subject, make it all one big metaphor or something. Repeating yourself is good for songs but don't overdo it... Damn that Lady Gag.
But storylines? You can choose one of the following:
Create your own world and own characters, this is harder... I'll explain in a bit.
Or simply add a twist on a common story. Maybe add a few characters, take away a few, give it a modern twist. The possibilities are endless.
When making your own world, you need to take into account what the audience knows. I try and make mine as easily identifiable as possible and mention the lore in the foreword. One of my worlds is set on an insland country and is a lot like modern times but features a lot of twists... It's semi-complicated.
Anyway, the characters are important. Try and add a clown, a knight, a princess and a prince along with a villain. By this I mean that there should be a humourous character that is useless, a hero who saves the day, a character who is the love interest of the hero and some guy who doesn't like the hero. Add some quirks like some abnormal phrases. See my previous post for details.
Now, the storyline. It can be different than normal by ending with the bad guys winning, it can be anything you like. But to establish it, the characters need to be relatable but crazy... It adds an atmosphere.
When it is done, I will post my story of Genesis. It will be crazy.
