The Sarahkin Invade Your 3DS

Have you been up at night wishing that Ariel Sierra could make cameo appearances in your vidya? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

Thanks to a few afternoons of messing around in the Mii Maker, ol' Unca Goops  is here with a special gift: Six Miis based on ZFRP! All four of Celestia's kids are present and accounted for, but sadly the Mii Maker is quite limited in terms of non-standard humans so Celestia herself is impossible to make. Bringing the roster to six are two extra characters - one you'd expect and one you wouldn't!

To use these codes, grab your 3DS, open the Mii Maker, and find the option to get QR codes under the sharing settings. Then point the 3DS at your screen. The Miis should appear on your system.

EDIT: Click "Read More" for mugshots of the Miis.

Breaking the Habit

On a still, chilly evening in late February, Gloria Encarta was enjoying a period of peace and quiet.

The summoner girl thrived on silence and solitude - it was part of the reason why she loved her job and didn't mind the library being far, far removed from Manhattan's most popular hangout. When she was all alone, she would sometimes stand amongst the shelves and just take in the books. Older books especially, with their pages written in days long gone, their musty smell comforting and yet mysterious. She sometimes gave an especially musty book a good sniff, then closed her eyes and imagined what the world was like when the book was new, long before her birth.

But she had no time for such meditation at the moment, because the creak of the old library door told her she had company.

"Sis?"

GB's 100 Games: 5-1

I cannot believe I wrote this whole thing nonstop every day (save the one-day Chatzy Madness break). But it's finally over. We've seen good games, bad games, and so-bad-they're-good games. Games I cribbed characters from to make RP characters, games I played in my early childhood, games I played last year. Games I played in an arcade, games I played on compilations, games I played on Virtual Console, games I found at garage sales, at Wal-Mart, at GameStop, got as Christmas presents, the works. Shooting games, fighting games, role-playing games, platform games and beat-em-up games.

In short, a freakin' truckload of vidya, representing the last twenty years of my life.

And now it's time to finally finish it. My favorite five games ever made. Suffice it to say, if anything ever beats these juggernauts I will be so hyped and you will never hear the end of it.

GB's 100 Games: 10-6

We're no longer talking about games that were just fun, or engrossing. We're talking about games that had significant influence on my childhood and teen years. Games I bonded with people over, games that I've memorized up and down, games that have implanted themselves into my subconscious. These are THE video games.

It's the first half of the final ten.

GB's 100 Games: 16-11

We've now reached the games I consider permanent classics. Two are from my childhood and early teen years, but the other three are all relatively recent. Two of them I just played last year. Even though I sometimes feel concerned that I'm losing touch with video games and sometimes go long periods without playing one, games like these remind me that there's no getting off this train I'm on.

Today's update is brought to you by Saralex and Liberty Medical.

GB's 100 Games: 20-16

 
It feels like it's been ages since I began this series, and now the final twenty entries are here. These were the games that truly hooked me. I played them top to bottom and fell in love with their miniature worlds.

Let's begin.

GB's 100 Games: 25-21

 A good mix of the obscure and not-obscure today, including what is probably the highest-rated game on this list that nobody reading has ever heard of.
