That Retro Vidya Blog

I'm not leaving, but I might have to be here less in the next coming few months or so... We've ran into a lil' problem with the council.

See, a few years ago the council here in Wiltshire, it would seem, had made a mistake. It seems they gave us more money through the usual benefits then we were entitled to, due to a miscalculation. They carried on making this little mistake, by maybe a few pence or pounds, for about 5 years. We didn't realise that we were overpaid- a few pence doesn't go far- and neither did the council. Anywho, now they've "Re-calculated" and spotted their mistake, and after five or so years, the few pence or pounds built up to over £3000- And guess what? They want it back.

Well, as you can see, we've been thoroughly screwed over by this dumb our council has made. So, that's the reason we're in a bit of a mess now.

Anyway, I'm not leaving- Just gonna be perhaps slightly less active, until this gets sorted out.

Sooo... Yeah.

A short 'lil post from me, 'cos not a lot of details and such have been released about this yet- Just when it's happening.
Yup, the next BUCK convention has a date!

The convention will be happening on 23rd- 25th of August, 2013. Yeah, it's just about 357 days away, buuut I still can't wait.
I'm still peeved I missed this years, but I'll almost certainly be there next year- I'd love ta see you guys there!

So, hi guys! Today, I gotta meet an awesome dudey (Waffle!), and we went on a merch hunt/shop. T'was awesome. :3

Without further ado;



My main awesomes are the two brushables, Pinkie and Dashie! They didn't have Sweetie without a gigantic train I'd never want or use, soo...
These brushables came with random pets to, but they're not from the show so I don't care much for them, really...

I also got some pretty cool blindbags, got a special edition Pinkie, some random re-colours and as Rainbow Dash. *Squee*

We also bumped into a dude with a wonderbolts shirt and derpy bag. :3

Very important question guys- Based on what you know of me, could you tell me what creature you'd say I might be? As in, if you thought a creature of some kind was typing this very sentence, any ol' earthling creature, what would you think was sitting at this here keyboard?

*Pop*

Edit; (Mammals preferable.)

So, as many of ye know, Rainbow Dash GIFs are kinda my thing. When ever I decide it's time for change, I usually make a new gif for my avatar, Print Screening shots from an episode or creating the frames by simply editing, sticking them in a folder on my memory card and taking it to school to pop into Fireworks and create an animated gif out of. See, I don't have Fireworks, Photoshop or anything like that at home, so I stick the images together using the school's programs.
I've ran into a problem right now, however, 'cos the school's shut down for the Summer holidays, and I'm, unfortunately, left with no means of creating my new animated avatar. And if it's not been animated, I'm not able to use it! XP
So, I've a little favour I'd like to ask of somebody... Well, one of two things, actually, either one would be really really helpful!

-Can Somebody Pwease send me a link to a good, free program with which I can string my frames together? Because my connection sucks, I wont be able to download any more than... 40mb...
Yeah.

-Could somebody with access to a program capable of animating, such as fireworks, with knowledge of how to go about it, please string the frames together for me? I'll email you the images, there's 9 of 'em!


I always feel a little dumb asking favours with such things, but... I'd be oh so grateful if somebody could please help me out! Pweeze?

I'm sorry for my recent uselessness on this whole blog thing. I'll be honest, my last post was meant to be bad.
I'll do it properly though now. I'm gonna start just using this feature to post things about my life I'd like ta share and stuff. I'll be honest though, I really don't see why Everypony needed blogs! XD

Okay... Something to say... RIght, So currently I'm applying for this weekend job for over the holidays! Why a weekend job? Because right now, that seems to be just about the only thing on offer down my highstreet, don't really have much more to try for. I'm gonna work in this "Occasions" shop if I succeed, a shop which deals with little gifts and cards, the likes. Yeah, Imma be rich! It's only for until sixth form and probably a little further, if I get through the first week. XD I like the XD face today.
So yeah. Thought I'd share, y'know? I'm gonna save up for Brony Scream. And a new monitor. I REALLY need a new monitor.

Anyway, Yeah. That's how crazy stuff is round here, I'm afraid. I'll post again when things are less normal. Or when I draw again! Or I defeat the mighty Monster hunter Tigrex!

I have no use for this. So, might as well fill this area up with useless crud.

So.... I'm trying to kill this Tigrex right now. But so far into the battle, it just has a tantrum and earns outta nowhere these red markings, and goes all ninja on me. Yeah. I never got as into this game as I shoulda.

In other news, I'm typing up my CV because I'm going to try for a job son.

Thanks for reading.

So yeah. This is a blog, I see. I'll be honest, I'll most probably never use it, because I haven't got a use for it.I guess I'll just be using it for important stuff and stuff happening in my life, 'cos I've already got a blog elsewhere.
