glimmer's 3-Day Video Game Review! Little Dragons Cafe Promised you on my latest stream that I would write this - so here it is! I picked up Little Dragons Cafe on the day it came out from my local game store. I pre-ordered a copy of the limited edition that ran around $80.00. It came with a stuffed animal dragon about the size of my hands put together, some art cards, reversible box art, a CD, and the game (check out my unboxing video here ). I won't go into if I think the special edition of the game I purchased was worth it, as I can always go into that in a separate post if I so choose to, but I will say that it was a pricey number for a game that not many people knew about. I still wonder who the target audience for the game is. Who picked up the limited edition (besides myself, of course)? Right off the bat, you will notice the game's art style. It's really a big part of what it has going for it. The art makes me feel like the story is coming out of ...

Today's Discussion is on...Job Hunting! Why do we call it that? It's not like we are stalking interviewers down with a rifle in camo armor (or at least I hope no one does that). Hi everyone! Did you miss me? Well thanks, I missed me too. Well, I missed writing! I also missed seeing you all view my posts. It really brightens up my day! My days as of late haven't been looking too bright, so I really could use the pick-me-up. I've been taking care of family, friends, dealing with bad weather (which usually tends to drain me too, thanks rain), and of course, applying for jobs! Dun dun DUN! I haven't sat down, updated my resume and even glanced at my linkedin or indeed accounts for...about a year now. I've been happy and content with my "new" job, but I still long for that something more. I'm a woman who always is looking for a challenge and I haven't quite found my niche yet in the gaming field. Sure, I love to stream, but I don't make...

Something You Don't Know About glimmer Part 5 - She gets migraines! I'll start this post off by thanking my dad for his wonderful genetics - giving me the world's worst headaches. If you don't know what a migraine is...Google it (nah, I kid! I can tell you better than that stinky thing we call the Internet)! A migraine is, as I implied, a really bad headache that is different in severity for everyone who may get one. Everyone who has migraines, however, shares a few common traits - they may have a specific trigger that causes it, there are different, but highly effective cures for each patient, and each person has their own unique symptoms right before the disaster strikes. I'll go over my steps: 1. I get migraines mostly when I'm super stressed and have a lot on my mind. I mostly got them in school and when I was searching for an important job while working full-time somewhere else. 2. I see spots. Have you ever closed your eyes after staring at a l...

Today's Discussion is on..National Something Or Other Day! Part 1 - National Toasted Marshmallow Day So, I have a calendar in my room that my ex's mother gave to me for a birthday or Christmas and it tells me what the National day is today! I absolutely love it, even though it does bring up some mixed feelings to type about it right now to the public...Anyways! I will probably post many days for us to discuss. This day in particular made me think of my old days in Girl Scouts, camping and of course, the main topic, roasted outdoor treats. I went from loving S'mores, to disliking them, to loving them again, then to eating only the roasted marshmallow out of them. What do I prefer today? I'm not really sure! It has probably been a good 5+ years since I had a S'more. I will tell you all the stories of my past and the times I remember those sugary good nights. A long time ago, your girl glimmer was in Girl Scouts. Honestly, I was a pretty good follower and...

Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon! Part 4 - Least Favorite Pokemon Cont. Gah! I'm so sorry! I said in my last post that I would post yesterday, but then I didn't! Sorry! Sorry! I had a headache yesterday and took off work. It was one of those days where I thought I had a migraine but didn't - anyways, back to Pokemon I dislike! We are on number four! This spot goes to the one and only - Castform. You may be thinking, "but Castform is so cute and changes into different types depending on the weather in-game, that's kind of cool," and I guess I can agree with that, but I can't unsee it for what it is. A crappy Pokemon. It's just no good to use in competitive scenes. It also doesn't help that once when my little sister and I were young, stupid children, we drew arms and a torso on it so its little lumps looked like its boobs. In permanent ink. On our Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire guidebook. Sorry, I just can...

Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon! Part 3 - Least Favorite Pokemon I made the picture extra large this time! It's a Venti Coffee at Starbucks! A Big Mac at McDonald's! A...okay, I'm done. Disregard the "Your favorite Pokemon of each type" text at the top of this image. These Pokemon on this image are my least favorite Pokemon! So, without further ado, let me mentally prepare the list and let's continue! I'm including all three in my least favorite Pokemon of all time - Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf. I just had to Google their names (and had a lot of trouble doing so) because I know nothing about these Pokemon. All I remember is seeing them in Pokemon Pearl and being like "ew." They are ugly, look like clones of mew but with a Snow White's dwarf feel to them (Sleepy, Grumpy, etc.), and their designs are just boring. I don't care what type they are or if they are even good Pokemon. You go from havin...

Today's Discussion is on My Favorite and Least Favorite Days of the Week Okay, this one is probably the staple choice for most people, but my favorite is Saturday and my least favorite is Wednesday. You can move on to another post now! Or, you can stick around to read a brief lecture about the days of the week in correlation to how glimmer spends her time. Everyone always says Mondays are their least favorite (insert Garfield joke here), which is totally understandable as it is the day most of us full-timers go back to work after our always too short weekend. What I don't like about Mondays is they act like Sundays on occasion when they fall on a holiday where we get out of work (more about my dislike for Sundays coming up). To me, however, they are the start to a new week, and usually the first day back to work is busy enough that I don't get too caught up in it. I tend to stream more on Mondays, so I get excited to coming back from work to do something I love. ...
