A Good Online Game




Yeah, so I've found this good online game on the internet (duh), which is called Electric Man 2. Basically, the idea is that you play this person, who is entered in the tournament of Voltagen. It is like an arcade fighting game, where you fight off against multiple enemies at once. Also, I have completed easy mode!!! (Yay)? Don't worry, there is a tutorial at the start, which teaches you everything, including how to do some amazing moves. Click the link below to have a go!

Another Good Tutorial




Well, not much has been going on, except for the restart of school... oh the joy. So I guess this means that I am not exactly in the best mood today. So anyway, I found this great guide for making Neopets User Lookups that look fantastic. The secret is actually using divs, and absolute positioning. You do need a basic understanding of HTML, but you can find guides and tutorials everywhere. Also, the page gives you the basic codes. (Obviously you'll probably need to alter them a little bit). It can be found here.


I only really have one problem, which I stumble upon on making my dream lookup, and unfortunately, the guide doesn't help you with that. It's the graphics. I just... can't draw (or get) the pictures I need for my lookup, so... yeah. Maybe my standards are too high, I don't know, but anyway, that is what has put me in a bad mood also. Bye for now.

***Also:*** Woohoo! Fiftieth blog post!

Yes!!!




Woah! You will not believe this:
Nerkmid Machine - White Paint Brush!!!


It's absolutely brilliant, isn't it! And, I got the Avatar too! This is from the Alien Aisha Nerkmid Machine (I think it's called that). Basically, you need something called a Nerkmid, which you put into the machine, and well... there you go. I believe I was quite lucky though, getting a Paint Brush. You get the avatar anyway. So, here is the new funnything205:

Spriting & Graphics



Yeah, so I've been doing a little Pokémon spriting, and other fun stuff. In case you don't know, a sprite is the Pokémon you see in the gameboy games. There are also trainer sprites, item sprites, and lots more. Therefore spriting is tinkering with sprites, which is what I've been doing basically. This is what I've done:


Trainer Tropius

I guess this is pretty self-explanatory. It's a trainer sprite (a Camper boy, with his arm erased off), sitting on a Tropius. He is supposed to be crouching, but he does kind of look like he's sitting.


Skarbat

This is a merge between two Pokémon. Can't guess which ones? It's Golbat and Skarmory! I name it... Skarbat! The other option was Golmory, which doesn't sound as good. The trouble is, I've run into a dilemma with this Pokémon. What types is it? Poison and Steel? Poison and Flying? Steel and Flying? Or all three!?


Magnemite Overload!
This is a bit of a random one I suppose. I've jammed at least a hundred Magnemites into the small space of eighty by eighty pixels. Still, it is quite funny (and random), and I call this picture Magnemite Overload!


Golden Gardevoir

This one's my least favourite. It is basically just a recolouring of a Gardevoir to gold. So I call it Golden Gardevoir. At least I can give it two definite types - Psychic and Steel.


Magma Trainer F Pokeball

This is probably my favourite one, either that or Magnemite Overload! It is a Team Magma Trainer about to suck her Pokémon back into its pokeball. Can you guess which Pokémon it is? Here's a hint. It's from Kanto and the sprite is an Emerald one (not animated).


After this I hope to move onto making little random (and hopefully funny) animations, not just about Pokémon, anything I can think about. But until then, bye for now, and don't forget my challenge to you all at Monkey Kick-Off!

Monkey Kick-Off Continued



Still, nobody has beaten my score? Wow, I'm not that good. I challenge the world! Try and beat my high score! If it is not beaten within a week, I shall claim world domination (Monkey Kick-Off wise, at least)! Really though, I didn't think it was that good...

Monkey Kick-Off



Okay, hello. Sorry, but I am in a bit of a rush for time at the moment. Anyway, I found a good game on the internet, called Monkey Kick-Off. Basically, just click the mouse when you want the monkey to kick the ball. It's quite funny actually. Click here to challenge me! My high score is 3217 metres. Can you beat it? I don't know if it's that good, but when I last checked, I think it was only about 1000 metres off the top scores, so anyway, notify me if you do beat me (which you won't :-P). Bye!

Neopets Banners



Well, firstly, it's nearly Easter now - whoo! And I don't have much Homework either - whoo! But, anyway, now on to what I was really going to tell you about. In case you haven't noticed, on most Neopets pages, there is always a little banner at the top. I wanted to make these, and I found a really useful Tutorial for making them on the internet. It has one for Photoshop, Paint, and Paint Shop Pro. You must have at least one of those and your computer (I used Photoshop). It can be accessed here. This is one I made:


Blog Banner


Note: You probably shouldn't use these on your own website, unless it is maybe a Neopets fan, or graphics site, because of copyright and stuff. Read the Neopets Terms & Conditions for more information. Also, if you put a Neopets image in it, then put it on the internet, you will need to put a little copyright message somewhere on the page, like the ones on my blog posts (see below).
