I had a coupon for a free McDonald's oatmeal, so I figured I'd try it out. This is easily the worst oatmeal I've eaten in my life. Paste would taste better and would have a better texture.

I think there was a miscommunication at the drive through, the lady might have been saying to wait and I drove off. There's no brown sugar in it, and no packet of it to use myself (not sure if there's supposed to be, but I do know there's somehow a brown sugar option).

I had high hopes when I opened the container. It's full of fruit. Green and red apple bits, lots of raisins, and what must be dried cranberries. It smelled sort of okay, mostly like nothing though.

Tasting it... ugh. The texture is AWFUL. I used to eat oatmeal on a regular basis, so it's not just that I'm unfamiliar with it. This stuff is seriously not worth eating.

260 calories, 18 grams of sugar. I'm not sure how it tastes so bad for that many calories and sugar, but it tastes like something you'd use to seal a hole in your wall. Into the trash it goes! I've been having such bad luck with breakfast lately...

I had expected using cheats to make the game a whole lot less fun, but at the moment it's actually kinda better.

I used the one that makes all wild pokemon turn into (whatever one you want) and made myself a dozen master balls. So my team currently is:

Charizard (level 8), Dragonite (5), Mew (8), Gyarados (7), Jolteon (8), and Houndoom (7).

They don't have extra moves or HP or anything, only their looks are different. So, for example, Gyarados knows only Thrash, nothing else. Mew knows only Pound. (I actually have a MewTwo in the computer, I thought its moves might be better, but Mew is pretty darned cute so I might stick with him.)

The downside to this hack is one I experienced before: Once you use it, you seem to not be able to go back to random wild pokemon encounters. Turns out that's kinda not so bad. I leave one type for a while, then switch it to something else. I started with only encountering Magikarp, but that quickly got boring (since it only knows Splash), so I switched it to Clefable and then to Pidgeot. (All the trainers you encounter still have their expected pokemon, so you still need to deal with type issues.)

I'm highly tempted to give myself TMs of the moves I want the pokemon to have (and the held items too), but that'd make it too easy I think, I'll just let them grow into them.

Edit: I might be wrong about there being no difference in my team except for how they look. Mew soloed Brock's Onix and got three and a half levels of exp. That can't be right!

I've been such a spammy poster this week! Sorry! But eeeee, guess who is back!



:D :D The Old Spice Man is back with new commercialS! Note the S on there, that's important! Get this: The next new commercial is going to be given to ONE FAN. One single person! Then that person will post it on their blog/twitter/whatever social media they use and it'll get around from there. How cool is that idea? :D

Why no, I can't get past the striking brown eyes! *swoon*
