Spring Break is officially over. It feels like it was just yesterday Spring Break was over in 2007. I finished my 20+ minute long Banjo-Kazooie video, Subliminal Sequel, which is a huge accomplishment considering I started working on the video in late October last year.

I might not being doing an April Fools video this year. Not that I ran out of ideas, it's just I don't think my video idea qualifies as a worthy follower of my April Fools video from last year. Plus, the amount of work from the time period after I finished Subliminal Sequel and April 1st is time consuming and puts more pressure on myself. I'd rather not go through that again. There will be an April Fools related video in the future, just not on April 1st. I hope you understand. I'll think something to cover that up, anyway.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Wifi has finally redeemed itself. My friend Mewtwo and I found a few good ways to actually have fun on Wifi, even with lag. One is playing with random characters and random stages. It's fun to find out who you and your opponent will be. Another is playing with Captain Falcon and spamming "Show your moves" with someone else who is completely clueless about what you're doing. It's better when your with a friend who is also with Captain Falcon.

Brawl's stage editor, simple as it may be, can be really fun if you make a really crappy stage with conveyor belts and spikes. Yeah, sometimes I find the stupidest things funny. Sue me.

Spring Break was fun and had it's moments. It was a fun week, but unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.
