The monkaS Has Passed Edition

Hey guys, how’s it goin?

I was really worried about losing my old speedrun videos on my hard drive for a hot minute, but thanks to Dark Aries directing me to a quality recovery software, my external hard drive is back up and running. I’ve also taken the time to free up some space on my PC so that I don’t have to worry about clearing out old data every week. It’s kinda hard for me to speedrun in confidence if I’m not going to have the ability to keep a record of all the good runs I do. Now that I have about half of my 1 TB hard drive freed up, I will have nothing to worry about for quite some time. This should also allow me to take on my next order of business…

There are seven matches left to play in the PPC tournament group stage and four of them are being played this week. I also have five pre-recorded matches to broadcast soon and, now that it is cooling down around here like the Fall season it is supposed to be, I will be able to take more control of streaming those matches in the coming weeks. I have ideas on how to take care of those matches, too, so stay tuned to Puzzle General for updates on when those matches are going down.

In other gaming news, Dragon Ball Fusions is still leaving me restless, even though I have played through the main story. I feel like just going ahead and 100%ing the whole thing. There’s something about the micromanagement of the whole thing that I love. I am a sucker for customization. The grind of training low-level recruits in the post-game is still very real, though. I’ve also got plenty of Special Moves that none of my characters can learn and I’m limited in how many I can carry. Very, very limited. I will probably have trouble sleeping in the coming weeks.

In real life news, I got roped in to getting free stuff posted on Craigslist, again, and found myself sorting through a bunch of leftover garage sale junk. However, there were a couple of things I found half-interesting in there. I found a DVD set of celebrity Family Feud episodes, the Richard Dawson kind. I also found an installation disc for the first four Jewel Quest games, Jewel Quest 1 & 2 and Jewel Quest Solitaire 1 & 2. I sunk a lot of time into Jewel Quest 1 on Saturday because I hadn’t played it in forever. I guess I’m still a sucker for Bejeweled. Now why has no one done a single speedrun of this series? There’s no leaderboard and I could not find a single video. I will take it upon myself to rectify this at some point. I have so many other things to get to first.

That’s my life story for the week. Until next time, everyone, thanks for reading!
