The Cute and Cool Today Shoppe; 1 3DS Game and 1 American Girl bed

Hey everybody, I recently set up a listing on eBay.

This American Girl bed has been a place of peace for many play-weary dolls and Webkinz stuffed animals for 9 whole years!
Feel free to check it out. If you want to negotiate, comment a price. Maybe we can meet in the middle. :)

If dolls aren't your thing, though, I also have the Collector's Edition of Adventure Time: Hey Ice King, Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?! (Nintendo 3ds) for $49.99, the lowest used price.

Happy shopping from the Cute and Cool Today Shoppe!

Tamagotchi P's!

Hello everyone!
I recently ordered a Tamagotchi P's from amazon! :D
In case you don't know, the P's is a full-color Tamagotchi from Japan. It's really glitzy and kawaii.
I wanted a color screen tama, and this is how I figured it was the one for me;

• Tamagotchi + Color : Pretty plain and minimalist, also really basic because it's the first color Tamagotchi. Also way too expensive.
• Tamagotchi ID : Goes for a pretty fair price on eBay, but is kinda plain looking. Basic.
• Tamagotchi ID L : Nice but kind of expensive and not as glitzy or up-to-date as the P's.
• Tamagotchi P's : Glitzy, fun, cute, the most beloved tama next to the 4U, new and up-to-date(Basic 6 colors on left).

I got the blue one. It looks fantastically girly(from online photos, anyway) and I wonder when it will arrive!

It's supposed to arrive anytime from the 10th of December to 20th... of January! XD
You never know with free shipping from Japan, I guess.
Bye for now!

Birthday Stuff!

Hey guys! As you may or may not know, I recently had my birthday.
It was tons of fun-I ate burgers at Red Robin, shopped a bit, and has some delicious Gluten Free cupcakes from a local bakery.
I also got some pretty great gifts! :D

Ta-Da!~

I got an MLP Equestria Girls 3-pack of the Cutie Mark Crusaders:

They'll be fun to review! :)

An AWESOME 'Ponies Rock' T-shirt:

In that clipart, Pinkie was originally holding cake.

Super Smash Bros. 3DS(Which I can't stop playing):

Beware the animal crossing villager; He'll K.O. you with his tiny spherical fists.

And last but not least, book 8 of the Dork Diaries series:

They just keep getting better! I already read the whole thing. :P

Later that day, when we went shopping, I got quite a surprise.

The Disney Store at the mall had just had a major restock.

I'm talking packed to the ceiling with Animator's Collection dolls.

I was thinking about getting the singing Elsa doll, but once I saw it in person I decided it wasn't what I anticipated at all.

I settled on a Classic Elsa Doll to match my Anna and I knew that when I saw it I wouldn't want to 'let it go'. 

*Ahem*, please excuse my bad pun. XD

They also had about 3 of the Ice Skating sets with both Anna and Elsa in them. 

The only reasons I didn't get that set is because I already have Anna and, although the Ice Skating set version is slightly different, I don't want duplicates. I also knew that their skates would make it hard to stand them up.

Here she is!

Woah, what's up with her braid???

Since I already took the photos, I'll get the review up soon. I also took photos of some loom bands I bought today which I also need to review. I don't even have photos for the Cutie Mark Crusaders yet, so their review might take a while longer, even though thy were the first to be unboxed.

Wow, I've got a lot to do!

Bye for now! :)

Virtual Pet Mania!

Hey, guys! Looks like my giveaway(Post below) was a total fail.
That's okay, because today I bring you a post all about virtual pets!

Virtual pets are fun and easy to take around with you, but when they die... sadness.
This virtual pet guide will help you care for your very own virtual pets!

When you're just starting out with virtual pets, I recommend your first pet to be an LPS (Littlest Pet Shop).

Why: It doesn't die, but it still needs you to feed it, brush it, and play with it as well as take it home to go to the bathroom. They're also really inexpensive on eBay.

Buttons: You press the tennis ball/other toy button on the side to play with your pet, insert the feeding/brushing charm into its slot on the side to take care of it. The orange button is select/next, and the purple button is confirm/enter. I know it sounds confusing, but it really isn't.

World: There's a whole world to explore in there; there are lots of games, buildings, and animals to discover.

Overall, it's a great first virtual pet, but when you master it, you get to move on to Tamagotchi.

My super rare V5 music Tamagotchi. I think it deserves some applause :)

Why: V5 is easier than previous versions. Any Tamagotchi V5 or later is probably your best bet. If you have a busy life, you can pause it by going to the 'Travel Channel'(Basically a screensaver). There are a lot of fun features on this one, too.

Buttons: Ah, the classic 3 tamagotchi buttons. So straightforward. So simple. So 'let me just get to the point'. Button 1- Select | Button 2- Confirm | Button 3- Cancel

World: You used to be able to connect it to the computer and explore TamaTown, but TamaTown no longer exists, so let's see... Well, you can still connect to your friends, buy goods at the store, find a date for your Tamagotchi once it grows up, and send it to work. That's about it; it's less about exploring and more about caring in Tamagotchi. 

If your Tama isn't well taken care of, it will go back to tama planet(something like that?), so be sure to feed it and keep it happy.

Once you master your Tamagotchi, I have something harder for you.

Uncommon virtual pet; may I note that this step is optional.

Why: Micro Pet Baby Dino is, admittedly, a generic virtual pet. It is, however, adorably animated. You should be able to find one(or something similar) on eBay.

Buttons: A little more confusing than Tamagotchi. The first button on the left hand side is the reset button, which is odd since that is usually on the back. The second button on the left hand side is select, the first button on the right hand side is cancel, and the second button on the right hand side is confirm. Phew.

World: There's no shop, infrared connection, or exploration of any kind. There are 2 games. I'm not entirely sure what they're supposed to be, though... You also have to give your dinosaur the proper tools in the varying weather conditions. For example, an umbrella when it's raining. 

If you don't feed or play games with your dinosaur enough, it will die. There's no pausing; You have to be committed to your Baby Dino.

If you've mastered that, or just decided to skip it, Giga Pets are up next.

Compu Kitty, driving parents crazy since 1997.

Why: Well, you've mastered the rest... Okay, I wouldn't go as far as to say this was the best. Definitely the hardest, though. Compu kitty needs your attention 24/7, and I'm not kidding. This cat needs to be fed and played with every 2 minutes or it gets hungry and severely depressed.

Buttons: The small round buttons are labelled 'LEFT' and 'RIGHT' to scroll through options. The 'MODE' button is for switching the mode(exit, basically) and the 'ENTER' button is, well, you know. I know that a lot of Giga Pets have a different button style/layout, so just consider that.

World: There's even less in Compu Kitty than in Baby Dino; the one cool thing, though, is trick training. There's a butterfly catching game. I don't have much to say about this. :P

Okay, let's face it. The first time, your Giga Pet will die. Don't be sad; Giga Pets are really hard to take care of. Also, after they die, the clock goes all crazy so you'll have to reset it. I don't think it counts time after the pet dies.

Now that you've read my long Virtual Pet guide, head over to eBay and get started! :)

Bye, everyone!

Cute and Cool Today Presents...

The new GameStation!

The Cute and Cool Today GameStation is where you can play all kinds of video games made by me on Scratch! There are a lot of free video game websites these days, but how many of them can you trust?
In a digital age filled with hackers and viruses, I wanted to make a cute, cool page with video games of my own invention! :D

Enjoy the GameStation and check out my polls on the non-mobile site(There's one to the left and another one farther down the page)!

Ner Aliens: The Game!

I made a virtual pet game! It's playable on any browser that supports flash. It's a Tamagotchi-like game that I finished making yesterday! I think you can play it on a Nook, but I'm not sure... And maybe the Google Chrome app? I don't know! Enjoy! :P

BEST Flappy Bird Clones!

Hello everyone! Today I will tell you the top 4 Flappy Bird Clones.
In case you didn't know, Flappy Bird was a popular game involving a bird dodging pipes. It reminds me a bit of Nintendo's classic, Mario, in terms of the graphics.
Unfortunately, the app was pulled from the app store, probably because people were insanely addicted.
Now, a ton of apps come to the app store each day that all use the same idea of Flappy Bird, just with slight changes, such as the look. For example, there's a Flappy Worm, Flappy Penguin, Flappy Dog, etc. They're known as clones.
Now, let me show you the best ones!

#4 : Splashy Fish

Splashy Fish is a great one; the one big problem is that the pipes are too close together, and that makes it pretty hard. The extreme mode is next to impossible, and I have no idea how I got 3 on it. 

All in all, though, it's a great app and by the masterminds who made Cookie Clickers.

#3 : Flappy Wings

Okay, this one is really fun. You can collect coins to get hats and the bird poops. :P

compared to the others that I'll show, the physics are a little weird. This game has a very different feeling than all the other clones. The drag is that the really cool hats cost a lot of coins, and some people don't like that pooping bird. :(

#2 : Upside Down Bird

Upside Down Bird messes with your head.

That makes it all the more addicting, though. It's basically Flappy Bird, but, well... Upside down! In the picture the bird just about to take a pipe to the face! D: 

The center of gravity is up instead of down and it's very confusing. Once you get used to it, though, it's a pinch. My best is 30. Unlike the others, I would strongly recommend this app! I play it a lot more than the others.

#1 : Loopy Bird

Hands down, Loopy bird is the best. This app is a must-have! It's as close as an app can get to the original itself without being illegal! :) Actually, it's better! As you progress through the game and earn points, you unlock new birds.

I've unlocked the following:

Basic Bird: Basic Bird comes in three different colors: Yellow, blue, and red. It comes with the game.

Slow Bird: Slow Bird is a strange looking bird that you unlock at 20 points. It slows the game down to make it easier.

Loopy Bird: This bird is what the game's all about! It's the multicolored bird in the photo. It allows you to play in reverse, going from right to left rather than the traditional left to right found in Flappy Bird and its clones.

Crazy Bird: Crazy Bird has a swirly crazy look in its eyes. It's still cute, though. It doubles your points so you can climb to the tops of the leaderboards!

My best is 82! Let me know if you can beat it! 

All in all, get Loopy Bird! It's a great app and you won't regret it!

All of these apps are free for download on the iOS app store. Thanks for taking your time to read this huge post! Bye for now! (^ω^)V

Flashback: Nintendo Game Boy

Hello everyone! Today I'm making a retro gaming blogpost.
In case you didn't know, I LOVE old video games!!! I have Nintendo Entertainment System(NES) games as well as SEGA Genesis, N64, and more... But that's for another time.

Q: What did they have before Nintendo DS? I mean way before DS; the late 80s?
A: The Nintendo Game Boy, Nintendo's first handheld system!(Other than Game&Watch, a series of simple handheld video games systems that played one game each and had a built in clock)

This is it! They call it the brick of Nintendos! It has an On/Off switch, a volume slider, a contrast slider(Instead of brightness), a connector port(To play with your friends!), a charger input, a headphone input(Why? The sound was so basic it seems pointless (^o^) ), the classic control pad +, A and B buttons, Select and Start buttons, and a speaker. It also has a slot on the back for game cartridges, and a battery door.

Here is a size comparison with a 3DSXL(Pikachu Edition (^_-)-☆). They're the same weight and, when the DS is closed, they're the same size. Check out that teeny tiny Game Boy screen!
You might've noticed that the Game Boy is playing Super Mario Land and the DS is playing Super Mario 3D Land. I just had to do it! :)

Here's a cartridge comparison. WOAH! That Game Boy cartridge is 4 times the size of the DS game! The game is super basic, too.
Don't get me wrong. That does NOT make the game easy.

Here are the graphics of the game. Look back at the DS. Wow. This Game Boy, without the games, originally cost $89. The games were usually about $30 each.

This post was a LOT longer than I wanted it to be, so I'll stop there.
Questions about the Game Boy? Ask in the comments. Thank you! (^o^)丿
