A fun little flash game brought to you buy a re-tweet by Felicia Day, Basketball. Use the mouse to aim, and click to shoot. You play live against other people competing for the top score, rounds last two minutes each and you can practice while waiting. Double score is given for clean shots (when the ball doesn't hit the back board).

The matching game is up as well, so I'll play that for abit to see which passwords I can get from it. Am home tonight because the store was robbed last night, am feeling abit better now but I would have been nervous and paranoid all night if I had to keep working.
Pokemon Rumble was released as a WiiWare title November 16th, 2009 for 1500 Wii Points, and there is also a demo available for download. If you are a My Nintendo member you will also receive an email with the code for a special charizard after your purchase, I'm not sure how long that will happen for but as far as I am aware the code is the same for everyone in north america [7968-4528] and you can also get a code for mew [9561-8808] from the Pokemon Rumble website, and they'll have more codes released in the future. You can also get a bunch of codes for new pokemon from gamefaqs but they all will only work once per save file.
Gameplay starts with a toy Pokemon (Rattata) powered by a "Wonder Key" which tries to fight in the battle royale after slipping through the gate. Of course, it fails miserably and that sets you off on your mission to become the champion. As you fight through the different levels, you will befriend new Pokemon randomly which you can use to fight in place of the Rattata you start with. At the end of each level is a large boss Pokemon to defeat, which seems to be powered by an evil looking wonder key. When you befriend a strong enough Pokemon you will be allowed entry to the battle royale, which is a large arena with electric walls, and a few waves of Pokemon to defeat before a few stronger ones show up. All you have to do is survive until the end. You can have up to three Pokemon faint in any level or the battle royale before you run out of wonder keys and fail.
The game starts in normal mode where you can befriend any of the 151 first generation pokemon (you can obtain mew through the password) after clearing all four ranks you will be given the option of playing in advanced mode, which includes pokemon from the fourth generation (387 to 492) though none of the pokemon you obtain can be used outside of Pokemon Rumble. A good way of obtaining new pokemon is releasing five of the same, which will give you a ticket for the next form of it's evolution (or if it's got three forms and you release five of it's last form, you will get a ticket for the first form). The gameplay is simple and fun, and although abit repetitive it's definitely worth getting.
Just an update on the flooding, which only affects me working (though I have days off right now), not where I live. The road was still closed last night when I went by, but the water has gone down abit from what I could tell. It's still raining though so I'm not sure what will happen, or what the condition of the store is, but it's on a bit of a hill so hopefully the water hasn't gone high enough to flood it.
Description: There is a state of emergency tonight in Duncan, North Cowichan , and Cowichan Tribal Lands - where flooding has forced hundreds of people out of their homes. It is the worst flooding in the Cowichan Valley in a generation. Days of rain combined with a high tide sent the Cowichan and Koksilah Rivers over their banks.
So work was pretty quiet last night, due to the fact that overnight we bacame surrounded by water. I got a ride to work at 10:30 pm because it was raining, and there was a pretty big puddle on the corner outside the store's parking lot, but the outside lanes of the road were clear still. There were still customers coming in but they came in less frequently as the night went on. Eventually at 6:30 a customer with a truck came in and made a comment about people needing to buy trucks instead of closing the road (because he had gotten there in a truck) and shortly after that I phoned my boss to let him know the road was closed, which he had found out by the police road blocks. So I was told to shut everything down, lock the doors and bring the store key to the highway 7-eleven, so I went out, took a few pictures (my boss's boss requested that I email them, I was going to take pictures either way) then I took off my shoes and socks, and pulled up my pant-legs and started walking through the water. After about 5 minutes in the freezing cold water, which was up to my knees at it's deepest, I got to one of the police road blocks, took off my sweatshirt and dried off my feet. The police asked if I was the 7-eleven worker and made sure everything was alright with me and the store. After that I headed to the highway store (about a 15 minute walk, which helped to warm my toes up again) and I gave the key to my boss and he drove me home, and he said he'd call me later today so I know if I will be working or not. For now I'll be sleeping.
The last photo, has ripples in the water, which were from a small kayak which had just gone straight into the person's garage as I was taking pictures.
