Gaah..!! I feel stupid... I mistook the TMGC Plus for one of those new color (screen) ones. *facepalm*

Nontheless!! *envies you* o3o

[Priestess of Syrinx]

Oh, yeah, Seraphim, it's probably either a V1 or V2, don't know yet, haven't turned it on.

Father!! Buy me batteries for my camera!! D:<

So out of curiosity, I took out my tama box and took a recount of my collection. Counting even the off-brand ones, I now have 18 handheld VPs. The most popular model is the V2, of which I have 3.

HERE'S THE POST YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!
My batteries are here I can finally show you guys my beautiful new baby


This is it in its packaging :3


and this is what it came with, all for $4.99! >_< Great going, Value Village.

Here's the package:






Oooh, isn't it pretty? Let's pull the tab and get going!...


....
....

....





WHAT THE LUMP, YOU GUYS. NO SERIOUSLY. WHAT. THE. LUMP.


It gives you the choice between this girl and this here derpy penguin:


so first I went with the girl.


it prompted me for a name.


'COW' it is.


I hate you.

I tried it out, and it sucks. Especially the sound, I'll upload some video I took of it, later, and you'll see what I mean.


Well, only one thing to do, then!


Darn, it's not even a legitimate CR2032. I can't take it and breathe life into a better pet.


Well, the least I can do is debark the thing.

Okay, now's not so bad. Let's try the penguin.


Gave me a stupid animation of an egg and then asked for a new name.


Ladies and Gentlemen, BUTTS the penguin.



Aww lookit him. I can't stay mad at you, it's not your fault you were abandoned in a thrift shop and I thought youd'd be legit because you were in the right sort of packaging~


We'll see how life with Butts goes.so far he hasn't been needy in the slightest.
(it's cool - you can hold C and it will slideshow all the screens on the stats menu! real tamas should do that)


oh hey I found the clock! bee tee dubs it never lets you set the time, nor the alarm it claims to have. Pressing more than one button at a time just corrupts the screen.

IN OTHER NEWS

oh my glob I cleaned my room look at all the nail polish~

COMING SOON: video of the thing. What should I call it? I think 'Girl b/w Derp Penguin' seems a tad lengthy...

[Seraphim]

Aww, I'm sorry to hear it turned out to be a fake.
I couldn't help giggling, tho. Forgive me. D:

[Rose]

*winces* I am so sorry about that. It's always sad to find out that the eagerly anticipated tamagotchi was... not a tamagotchi. :/  The Derp Penguin actually is pretty cute though. 

[Priestess of Syrinx]

You know what would be really cute, though? If it didn't DIE every night. I figured out how to change the clock, but that didn't do jack... it wakes up and dies every night, regardless. The girl is the same way.
I always get a baby sprite when I launch the girl, now, despite getting an older girl the first time.

Yknow what? I wouldn't be surprised if the designers somehow managed to make the speaker circuit an important part of the program, and by debarking it I screwed up part of the program. This really shouldn't happen seeing as it TURNS ON without a working link to the speaker, but the wonders of bad programming know no bounds...especially since, judging by how it runs then vs now, it relied on the speaker to TRIP IT UP in one of the animations...

I think I'll be putting this one away, today.

[Rose]

Ooh, that sucks.    Sorry about that.

[Priestess of Syrinx]

Well, to get out of my funk from the derp tama, I started up my P1... and god I forgot how demanding the Babitchi can be XD I'd never be good with children... He constantly wants to play that stupid guessing game, and I'm only marginally good at it TT_TT

By the way guys, for my final project in Programming class, I'm going to make an app for Android phones, and I was thinking along the lines of a VP for Android... any ideas? =D

[Priestess of Syrinx]

Today was a good day. Although my little Marutchi couldn't follow me to my Chemistry Final Lab (wouldn't want to pour sulphuric acid or sodium hydroxide on the bro) he kept himself well in my locker until second, in which we got bored over finances and played games instead. I couldn't bring him out much during third, since that was music class, but I think he was alright in my pocket. I was able to tend to him during lunch, and during programming I let him hang out on my keyboard and a few friends asked questions about him.
Guy sitting beside me asked "are they still making those?" and noooo I just couldn't give the bro the short version, I ended up with a short rant... felt kinda stupid after that... XD
The Android development tutorial was for an older version of the SDK than I had, so it wound up being a useless class since nothing worked... Apparently you can use Python with Android now, though, so I'll give that a shot... I never liked Java much anyway...

After that we went home. I made a smoothie, and we sat down and watched the 2000 version of Jesus Christ Superstar. It was awesome. :3
