Work today was pretty interesting for me. I encounter some lady that was in her car, screaming for help.
The full story is this. I was reading a paper that a customer left behind, reading up about the World Cup, and all of a sudden I hear a lady yelling ""Help Me!" At first I thought it was some kids joking around, since I noticed a bunch of kids hanging around outside today during hours when they should be in school. But then, I decided to look behind me, I noticed that it was some old lady in a car that was screaming help. I ran over as fast as I could. I tried to ask her what she needed, but she was very unclear. For example, she asked me for assistance in getting up, so I did that, then after falling down, she decided that she was ok where she was. I was noticing things about her, scrawny body, tall, weird speech patterns, Then I asked her a few questions like "How long have you been in the car?" "Would you like a cart?" "Are you with someone?" and "Would you like to talk to one of my bosses?" The time question was kinda pointless, seeing as she was in a car without the keys on, as for my boss question, at first she said "yes" but then "no" to talking to my manager. As for my question of if she was with someone, she said it was her husband/boyfriend, wasn't clear enough for me to get a direct answe. Then I just asked her if she would be OK, then she said yes. I used that as a way to walk away and get one of my supervisors to come out and deal with the situation, after I walked away, she yelled for help again, which made me glad that I was getting my boss. After going inside and finding one of them, they called the store manager, and I lead them to the car where the lady was. After a while, they sorted it out, didn't follow up on it. As a reward from my job, they gave me a $5.00 ticket that I can use in the store.
In retrospect, I do wonder what happened with the lady in the car, seeing as how I thought that she was mentally unstable, could be from bad experience. I do hope that whatever was bugging her is getting resolved and that she recovers from whatever is ailing her.

My thoughts on Generation V of Pokemon.
From the looks of it, Pokemon Sunday just revealed a silhouette picture of a new Pokemon that is suppose to be appearing in Generation V game that's suppose to come out soon:
If you ask me it sort of looks like a Lucario were-wolf being glomped by a Metroid. But since we'll have the full reveal in two weeks, I am looking forward to what this new Pokemon might be and what role it will play in the new movie, whenever it be a major role like Jirachi, Shaymin, Darkrai, Lucario, or something minor like Munchlax.
As for my thoughts on what it might be, so far I am leaning towards a Pokemon that will evovle from a new Pokemon in the game, ala Lucario. Since, when Lucario was first revealed everyone, including myself, thought it was going to be a Gen IV legendary ala Latios and Latias were in Movie 5. Though I'm not ruling out the possibility of it being a legendary, evolving from a previous evolution line like adding a new stage or another branch evolution, or it being a basic form. It's anyone guess right now, and you won't know until those games come out. Sad truth, I know since I highly doubt that the new movie would make a reveal lime that
But as for the topic of the new Generation V game that has been popping up I thought it would be the perfect time for me to share my thoughts on the subject. While I am skeptical that the new game that was announced almost a week ago is really the new entry into the main series of Red/Blue/Green/Yellow, Gold/Silver/Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and Diamond/Pearl/Platinum set or if it's a new spin-off game like Ranger, Mystery Dungeon, Snap, or Rumble as example and featuring some new Pokemon. Sort of like how Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, Pokemon Dash, and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon showed off some Generation IV Pokemon off as well. Primarily Muchlax, Bonsly, Lucario, and Mime Jr. Muchlax was feature in Gale of Darkness as a part of a side quest in the game, in Dash it was one of the Pokemon you can control and Mystery Dungeon it gave you a sidequest. Bonsly was actually the first Gen IV Pokemon you can fight with, though it only knew one move and you can only use it in one area. Lucario was mentioned in Mystery Dungeon as being a great explorer, and obtaining a certain amount of points earned you the Lucario Rank and a statue of Lucario appearing outside your base. Mime Jr was also a statue you can earn in Mystery Dungeon after achieveing a certain rank. Personally my feelings are that this new game is going to be something along the lines of a spin-off series that will feature the new Pokemon appearing in the next saga like how those other games
Yes, there is the possibility that it could be like Generation II and how it was compatible for both the Game Boy and the Game Boy Color, and when the true successor for the DS comes out, that the 3rd version of the game will come out on the DS's successor. I also do recognize that we are reaching the 4 year mark since the launch of Diamond and Pearl series in Japan, which officially started the Generation IV business, and it did take almost 4 Years for the release of Ruby and Sapphire to be replaced with Diamond and Pearl, and the average time between the transition from Red and Blue to Gold and Silver was 3 years. Same goes for the transition of Gold and Silver to Ruby and Sapphire, it took 3 years for that as well. While there are signs that point to it being the Generation V Game, since the press release did mention an improved battling system. I'm actually curious as to what's going to be improved about it, other than adding new moves.
Status for me is, definite buy no matter what, but I'm not going to speculate over what this game is going to be about, cause I'm pretty sure we're sticking to the same routine like Mega Man series, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not going to wrap my head around the endless speculation that you can find on Bulbagarden or Serebii forums. Instead, I'm just going to look at official information, get my impressions from the Japanese version, enjoy these games when they come out in America, play them to hell and back, and then claim them to be the best Pokemon game in the main series ever. I have done that for a long time and it hasn't disappointed me, well except for Hoenn region but that's about it.

March Be Damned!
List of stuff coming out in March
Battlefied 2: Bad Company
Final Fantasy XIII
Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver
Princess and the Frog
Ponyo
Rereleases of some Miyazaki Movies
Mega Man 10
High School Host Club Ouran Complete Set
One Piece Season Two, Sixth Voyage
Soul Eater Part 2
SGT Frog Season 2, Part 2
Darker Than Black
Case Closed Season 4 & 5 Viridian Colection
You may be asking yourself, "Dax, what's with this list of random video games and anime?" Well, it's serves for me as a reminder of all the cool stuff I want that's coming out in March. I know I'm under no obligation to buy all of this stuff Day one, except for maybe Battlefield 2, Heart Gold and Soul Silver since I put a $5.00 deposits on them. There also the fact for Ponyo I am looking at the special edition at Best Buy that comes with a Ponyo Doll, and that Princess and the Frog was one of the best films I saw from 2009, seeing as how I held off seeing that until 2010.
But then again it's not like I can get to them anytime soon, seeing as how I'm trying to finish up my 2D and 3D animation classes as best as I can so I can graduate, and I think money might be tight around that time. There's always holding the purchases over until a later date and wait for a price drop, but this mostly serves as just a reminder of what I consider to be an overkill of things that I "DO FUCKING WANT." All I will say is this, March? When did you become so cool with releasing cool stuff?

Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays one and all, what do I have planned for the holidays? Finishing up finals and going shopping for my family. That's right, I might have to stay later this week at school to finish up a web page and an animation for my finals. Along with a few projects for my Graphic Design class. Luckily, my teacher said she wasn't coming in on Wednesday and Thursday so that gives me additional time to work on it in the morning. I could also go after I get off at work to reduce the time as well. It's almost over, I hope I do well this year.
As for my holidays, I know what I'm getting for Christmas. YAY, that's always nice, well except for whatever my sister is getting me. I personally expect to get the 2 volumes of Scott Pilgrim I need to complete my collection, well that is until Volume 6 comes out. Now to focus on what to get my family. Normally, my mom takes me shopping for herself, dad, and grandma, and she picks out what I buy, while I go alone for my sister and brother since they made a list that I can get ideas form and get from any store that I pass by.
That's it for now, see ya next time.

Xbox Live's New Update
Yeah, I recently signed up for the new Xbox Live update preview. The new update allows you to use Twitter, Facebook, Last FM Radio, and Zune Marketplace all from the comfort of your Xbox 360. In the following days, expect to see my thoughts on this update, though mostly on Twitter and Facebook. FM Radio, not sure if I'll ever use, while Zune, I might use it, but I need to work a little more to justify spending money on it.

Oh yeah, I have one of these.
Yeah, I kind of dropped the ball on this blog, but I do plan on updating soon.
Sorry for the lack of updates, but College is a bit of a pain right now, just started college midterms, and I just recently re-entered the workforce. That and I do have quite a backlog of games that I am trying to beat. Currently playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Mario and Luigi 3, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, and Pokemon Platinum on the DS front. My 360 time has gone to me playing Halo 3 ODST, Batman Arkham Asylum and Left 4 Dead, that is when my brother isn't playing a sports game or Guitar Hero game. Wii, mostly Call of Duty: World at War, Punch-Out!!, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Mario Galaxy at the moment. Damn, that's a lot of games, and so little time.
As for School, it's going OK, sure my math teacher can be quite a bitch at time, but I just learn what I can and try to move on. My three art classes are kicking my ass this semester though, got to work on my Webpage layout, might work at it at Home with Paint.Net, then go back to school for Dreamweaver and Photoshop. Then my other class, I need to come up with a logo, which is coming along nicely. My Flash class, create a "how to" with Flash, my only problem is, I have no idea of what to make it about right now. The Weight Training class is really the one where I can just cool off and work out. I need to kick myself into gear this semester, don't want to fail any of my classes.
As for work, I'm currently a Cart Attendant at ShopRite. It's OK, I'm outside, rarely deal with customers, and the people around me seem nice. Sure my feet are sore at the end of the day and I only work 5 hours a day for 4 days a week, but in this economy, you got to take what you got to take, besides, the pay is decent enough.
That's it for now, stay tuned for future updates.

Heart Gold and Soul Silver
Man, I wish I had these games right now. The games just came out in Japan, I'm looking at the new stuff, and damn, it look fine. Like getting Legendaries from the other games, and the starters from Kanto and Hoenn. Also, nice to see that they buffed up some of the Gym Leaders levels and new gym designs. Seriously, Falkner had the weakest party out of any Gym Leader, none of his Pokemon were even in the double digits. I just hope that some Pokemon are moved around a bit. I want a Teddiursa earlier dammit. Still early to judge on the game, I know, but still, I wanted these games since they were first hinted at with all those clues in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum and announced on Bulbagarden.
Dammit, Spring 2010, get over here. Oh well, guess I'll get back to playing Pokemon Pearl for the moment.
