So I ended up winning the Blue Lagoon Set for Hana, which is this strawberry print bikini that I have been seeing on danbooru under the pangya tag for years. I wanted to get this, if only for the nostalgic feel to it. Actually, I really wanted the 2011 swimwear for Hana because it's a mix-and-match and I already know how I would customize it.
This took numerous grinding of my Grand Prix tickets. I gathered up 480 Hana Birthday Comets along the way. You divide that up, and that is, hmmm, 24 go-arounds on Pink Wind, my favorite of all the Pangya courses out there. Sometimes I played uncontested, other times I was forced to finish second or third. Whatever the case, as of this post, I racked up 59 Hana Memorial Special coins, and the 33rd coin yielded the Blue Lagoon Set. I also cleared the Super Rare Item Collector achievement by winning this.
I also padded my Hole In One and Albatross tallies, and even got some to go in off backspins, clearing another achievement along the way. Nine more achievements and I reach the mythical Memorial Level 29. I say mythical because Memorial Levels are capped at 24.
The reason why I am still motivated to do this Hana Birthday Grand Prix are for a number of reasons. First, I am closing in on finishing Top 3 in Event GP 100 times. That will yield some Memorial Normal Coins. Another achievement requires me to win Event GP 100 times. However, I cannot reach that achievement if there are other people in the room. I am past the 70 wins mark there, but I have a long way to go and I doubt I will clear that by the time the Hana Birthday GP concludes.
Finally, I want to get that 2011 swimwear off the Memorial Special coins. If I get that, I will really not have that much pressure to play the event, but I wouldn't mind recycling more comets so that I can come close to 100 Tiki points and cap off Hana's or rather, Madoka's character mastery.
Now there has been a number of changes at the game. This past week, we had three maintenances in the same week. One took place on Wednesday, another took place early Thursday and the last took place late Thursday into Friday. Korea is getting a new publisher for Pangya. SmileGate Megaport is taking over for Gametree. And some other changes related to the game are taking place. That's nice, but it's thinning traffic out here on Black Papel and Dolfini. Come on now!
I am actually relieved for another reason: I finally got the Good Club Set, the Club Set of Wisdom that is now officially my main club set. Pangya Team decided to make this a two-week sale instead of a one-day sale. My goal is to make that club set The Greatest Club Set You Will Never See Because It Cannot Be Seen. Currently it is a C-rank Level 5, but next Friday, I plan to open the wallet and make it at least an A-rank Level 5, but need to farm more mastery.
I've only completed my second day using the clubs, but now it is marching toward B-rank without having to move mastery from my Miracle Voice Clubs because it has passed the 4,000 mastery point mark. If I can farm the required mastery points by next Friday, when I get my paycheck, I will be able to rank my Club Set of WIsdom twice in the same week and possibly the same day. This could be an A-rank Level 5 club set and now it's going to be it really good form heading into the long road to S-rank. That is going to take possibly five or six months of constant play to get it there. I'm also hoping for financial assistance from a couple of partners I work with so that I can get my main clubs ranked even faster.
The only deficiency regarding these clubs is the accuracy. With my main character Madoka (a.k.a. Hana), the accuracy is an abysmal 19. The rank up to B-rank will make it 20, but I'm not going to stop there, I'd like Alex Seed to improve the accuracy stat a little bit more so that these clubs will be worth the use. Spin and curve are fine and I wouldn't mind those stats improved, and adding more to control wouldn't hurt, either, but I want the accuracy to be a whole lot better. 20 should be the minimum accuracy level for my clubs, and I need to play my Club Set of Wisdom at the current rank for three or four more days before it reaches the 11000 points necessary.
Aside from that, I am excited to finally be able to hit comets using air. I like to sometimes make a mockery of the sport by using a non-regulation club set, and the Club Set of Wisdom is what a club set should really be. My main account and my alt account are happy to make this a new tradition in terms of playing Pangya at the home of the Bedlam on Baltic Avenue.

This stuff should be illegal. There needs to be a major study conducted by a prestigious university to see if Zebra popcorn is more addictive than tobacco, crack cocaine, or alcohol. I'm gonna need a 12-step program to stop eating this.......

Jimmy CRACK CORN...AND I DON'T CARE!!! SO DELICIOUS
Now that nursery rhyme all makes sense. I've tasted the sweet sinful deliciousness of the CRACK corn that Jimmy was popping and I'm hooked on it too! It really is addicting. The line says it all "Once you've had Zebra®, nothing else will ever do." I eat as much as I can till I get a sugar rush and my body forces me to stop. But oh how I want to keep going, but alas it's a good thing cause I have some left for tomorrows munching.
I've always feared store bought popcorn would taste stale or not as fresh as popping corn yourself but the way this stuff is bagged makes every bite so airy and keeps it fresh.
When I typed this review they asked me "Would you recommend this product to a friend?" Sadly HELL YESS was not an option to pick.

I absolutely looooove Popcornopolis, so when I received this as a gift I was excited to try it. Let me be quite honest, this stuff is way too sweet for my liking, and I'm a sweet fanatic. I'm no softie either, I eat sweets everyday. I do not recommend this flavor at all.

What happened?
I first purchased this from Old Navy. It was simply the most delicious popcorn I've even eaten. I loved it so much I went online and purchased a large tin.
What happened? I was startled by the difference. There wasn't nearly the same amount of toppings and the taste was much more ordinary. I am so disappointed and feel like I've wasted my money.

Old Navy.... *laughter* You might as well bought your popcorn at Ross or Marshalls you dolt! Stick to buying it at a real store that sells real food...like 7-Eleven.
oddly sweet
I love caramel corn and I have a huge sweet tooth. I even adore the intensely sweet Cupcake flavor. But Zebra was too sickeningly sweet. To me, the dark and white chocolate would be better served on plain popcorn. I am surprised this flavor of popcorn gets such good reviews. Maybe it's just me, but I threw away most of the bag.

barely any chocolate on the popcorn

Like Akagi from Kantai Collection (who I now would like to have as a personal companion), I find my refuge in eating comfort food. For Akagi, it's plenty of rice and curry, although she doesn't play favorites when it comes to eating (or, as they say in KanColle lingo, "resupplying"). As for me, I like a good-quality burger like the El Diablo Six Dollar Burger from Carl's Jr., a decent side like jalapeno poppers, a bag of Funyuns (my personal sine qua non of snacks) and perhaps a Magnum Chcocolate Infinity bar as a closer.
The reason why I chose to invest in a nice morning supper after a long night of Pangya is because I am disappointed by some events regarding the game. Days prior to the promotion date closing, they removed the Hanbok for the remodels off the shelves. Then, on April Fools' Day, what was supposed to be a sale for the Good Club Set (a.k.a the invisible golf clubs) ends up becoming the worst maintenance update in as long as I have played the game: a simple update for a new Daily Quest Bonus event.
It didn't stop there. Last Saturday, what was supposed to be a Tee Time with the Game Masters as per the notice turned out to be a false alarm, even though I was offline due to covering a soccer match. Then, on Monday, it was announced that the Personal Shops on Dolfini were shut down yet again, in a vain attempt to deflate the rare prices.
Why is Pangya Team obsessed with this losing streak of mistakes and errors? I feel this is deliberate drivel coming out of Pangya Team and something is going on in Korea and Turkey that in a perfect world, I would know the details about. Based on the cycles, a new Pangya maintenance would be scheduled for next week, and it would be Hana's birthday event, replete with Grand Prix updates and perhaps new maps to do in Grand Prix mode.
I am baffled by these stall tactics from Pangya Team and I am hoping the other servers in Korea (of course, we are supposedly patterned after them ), Japan (who I want us to align with), and Thailand take notice of this: Global is getting shafted yet again and all of the active veterans playing are innocent victims. I really don't care what they decide to do: I want them to sell the Good Club Set, even for just one day. I still have money to throw at them for this, they just have to offer it. That's going to be my main club set for the long haul, but the ball is in Pangya Team's court.
Oh Akagi, I wish you were here so I could do a little guilty motorboating of my own to put my mind off what has been a sorry, sorry several days for the Pangya Team. This is not looking good...
Eh!? What's that? You ate Hiei's curry of mass destruction!!?
INDIANAPOLIS -- Call them freshmen. Please, do not call them kids.
Led by Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor, Duke's talented group of youngsters outscored Wisconsin by 14 points over the final 13 minutes Monday night to grit out a 68-63 victory for the program's fifth national title.
Okafor, the likely first pick in the NBA draft if he decides to leave, got outplayed by Badgers center Frank Kaminsky but came through when the pressure was highest.
He made two straight buckets over Kaminsky, sandwiched between a pair of 3-pointers from Jones to help the Blue Devils (35-4) turn a one-time nine-point deficit into an eight-point lead with 1:22 left.
"They showed such grit tonight," said coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose five titles puts him alone in second place on the all-time list behind John Wooden. "Our bench was spectacular, and like we said about two months ago, eight is enough. Eight is enough."A furious Wisconsin rally ensued, but it came up short. Then, it was Okafor on the bottom of a rowdy, raucous dog pile -- a scene very reminiscent of the last time the Final Four was Indianapolis, back in 2010 when Duke won that one, too. The Blue Devils also took one here in 1991 -- the Grant Hill, Christian Laettner squad.
Among the eight who share all the playing time are Okafor, Jones and another freshman, Justise Winslow. They all might be one-and-dones.
But Grayson Allen? The most unheralded of Krzyzewski's first-year players, who averages four points a game, stepped up with Okafor on the bench for much of the second half in foul trouble. Allen, the slam-dunk champion at the high school McDonald's All-American contest last year, scored 16 points and kept Duke in it when Wisconsin (36-4) looked like it was about to run away.
Duke certainly didn't look young.
This was a savvy, calm, collected comeback against the team that wrote the book on that all season. Wisconsin kept its cool two nights earlier in an upset over undefeated Kentucky and looked to be pulling away early in the second half of this one.
Then, suddenly, Duke looked like veterans and Wisconsin looked like kids.
Kaminsky outscored Okafor 21-10 but struggled to get a good look down the stretch. On Okafor's first late bucket, Kaminsky tried to wrap an arm around him, but Okafor just powered his way through it for the bucket and the foul. He missed the free throw, but a different point had been made.
Nigel Hayes had 13 points and Sam Dekker, the key guy down the stretch against Kentucky, had a very quiet 13 for the Badgers, who were trying to bring their first title back to Madison since 1941.
NEW YORK -- With the season -- and his record-breaking career -- winding down, Chasson Randle found a way to deliver one last time and help bring another NIT title home to Stanford.
Randle put Stanford ahead with two free throws after drawing a controversial shooting foul with 3.4 seconds remaining in overtime, and the Cardinal held on for a 66-64 win over Miami on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
It was the third NIT title for Stanford and second since 2012.
"Our guys just refused to lose," coach Johnny Dawkins said. "I think that's what you saw down the stretch of the game, the last few minutes and in overtime, just a will to win."
Randle said, "It's just a great feeling, just to be able to end your season and your career with a win."
With Stanford trailing 64-63 in the final seconds of overtime, Randle was heavily defended and seemingly out of answers when he took an off-balance shot and appeared to lean into Miami's Davon Reed. Randle was awarded the free throws, and he calmly buried both to give the Cardinal its second NIT championship in four years.
"We were going to put the ball in Chasson's hands, and he was going to decide it for us," Dawkins said.
Randle, the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament after he finished with 25 points in the championship game, was difficult to pin down even after the dramatic contest ended.
Asked if he initiated contact, he replied, "The ref called it. I can't do anything about it."
After a Miami turnover, Anthony Brown was fouled and made one free throw to make it 66-64, but the Hurricanes had one more chance. But Sheldon McClellan's off-balance jumper from the right corner fell short and Stanford (24-13) began to celebrate.
Dawkins, in his seventh year, acknowledged that the program's aspirations extend well behind the NIT, college basketball's consolation prize. "We are a program that wants to compete in the NCAA and wants to compete for championships," he said. "Unfortunately, that has not happened as much as we would like.
"But our last four years, we've won two NIT championships and we have gone to the Sweet 16. I don't think that's horrible. I think we have shown we can be competitive in either tournament."
Randle, who ended his career with a Stanford-record 2,375 points, scored Stanford's final four points in regulation, which ended at 59-59. With fans for both teams rising to their feet, he twice slashed down the right side to bank home scores.
The Hurricanes forced overtime on McClellan's driving score with 16.8 seconds to play.
