I finally figured out how to add the funds from my nintendo card to my 3DS. Felt kind of like an idiot when I realized how easy it was. Bought the Origin Island DLC for Fantasy Life, Luxor, and tried getting Super Mario Bros 3, but my battery was low and it wouldn't let me buy it. That's just stupid, by the way. I haven't been able to finish downloading anything other than the DLC for Fantasy Life because I haven't been anywhere with wi-fi since I bought the games.

I'm loving the Origin Island DLC. It gives you higher level caps, and a whole new area to explore, plus you can get new ranks for your Lives. Now if I could just manage to find some dragon scales to finish off my Dragon Armor, I'd be a happy little ranger.

Mothman gave me his download key for Okami HD, and I downloaded that and stayed up too late the other night playing it. It was pretty on the PS2, and with the upgraded graphics, it's absolutely gorgeous.

I finally got past the last fight with Alice and Decus in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Took some serious grinding and evolving of some of my monsters, but I did it. Now to finish up the game and move on to something else.

Jason and I picked up Bandit's ashes on Tuesday. We then went to Crescent Beach State Park and took Bandit for a last walk on the beach. No, we didn't scatter his ashes there, we just walked the urn up and down the beach. He'll join Clancy and Caitlin in the loft until I have a piece of land of my own. Or maybe someone can just stick them in the casket with me when I go. Whatever.

I have happy news, too. I just finalized the adoption of another dog. He's a little brown mutt between 10 months and a year old. I adopted him from the rescue that Bandit's foster mom in Tennessee does rescue work for, because I wanted to have a dog that she'd fostered. I know he'll be in good hands until I take delivery at the end of this month. I named him Beau. I have a photo, but it's on my facebook page and I can figure out how to get it into my blog, but I can't figure out how to resize it and I'm feeling too under the weather to mess around with it right now. Allergies suck.

Alright, Pixlbit Nation, I'm going to go nap on the couch until the meds kick in and make me feel better.

Sorry to hear about Bandit. Lost my dog a little over a year ago, still miss the guy.

Damn you Tami, you just had to mention the Fantasy Life expansion and you'll never guess what I just did?

Glad to hear there's a new doggie on the way. Saw the pic. on FB

Turnabout's fair play, Peter, since you are responsible for my Fantasy Life addiction in the first place.

Thanks, me, too. Now I just have to (im)patiently wait for a month for him to arrive from Tennessee.

It really is a great game though. I'm at level 76 and have two Legendary's and the rest Hero. Lots of stuff still to do.

I'll get to it after 7th Dragon.

I'm level 78 - one demi-creator, two legendary, rest hero. I've played through two or three chapters of the expansion.

Just remembered that Dragon Quest 7 for 3DS comes out this month. I'll be buying that one day one

You will be very busy for a very long time.

I couldn't find the picture of Beau on Facebook but I saw the frog and shore shots.

It's on my page, my friend Renee posted it, it's not a pic I took.

Oh, ok.

I sent you a request on Facebook so I could try and see Beau. Congrats on the adoption!

Okami HD looks pretty stunning. Playstation Now is coming to PC over in Europe soon and I'm waiting for it to eventually come here so I can get some of the PS2 and PS3 remasters they have available

I was happy to see that friend request. Now I can tag you in lighthouse photos. And thanks!

My neighbor/"little brother" will be excited if that happens. There's a bunch of Playstation games he's wanted to try out, but he's a PC gamer exclusively.

it's nice you took Bandit to the beach. :) We buried my last German Shepherd's ashes out here, after a couple years of keeping them. We put a pine tree on top. I even got my mom a marker for xmas with a laser printed picture of the dog. IT's nice. She liked it.

Now that you've figured out how to get the 3DS eShop to work, if you get a chance, try out demos like Pocket Card Jockey and Phoenix Wright.

Thank you for reminding me about Pocket Card Jockey. I was trying to remember the name the last time I was at McDonalds so I could check it out.
