Title: The Most Ambitious Thing You've Done/Plan To Do
Post by: The name master on October 17, 2016, 17:24
What's the most ambitious thing you've done or plan to do?

The most ambitious thing I plan to do is make a final battle (https://youtu.be/lsnZ-eOrOyg) between mudkip and Nidorino (in a story I'm going to animate) based on the final boss from super Mario world 2 (https://youtu.be/LtKh7e2ESBc)

The most ambitious thing I've actually done is this (https://youtu.be/y1EipNDPDvc) because the feet are separate from the body, so trying to move it all and keeping it all together isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world.

The most ambitious thing I plan to do is complete my X/Y Pokedex in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Spanish, all in the same save file.

I'm currently in the process of buying the various language versions of Pokemon Black, excluding Korean. I already have all versions of Pokemon Diamond, also excluding Korean. I can play X/Y/OR/AS in Korean though, and get all Korean Pokemon that way.

I often wonder if anything happens if you complete the Shiny Charm requirements in all languages.

Now you mentioned pokemon in different languages, I just remembered I'm playing pokemon green. I found a translated ROM. The translations aren't great. A lot of it is so backwards! Some of it I can just about make sense of. Others, no!

Remember that guy in the town above pallet town? The one who won't let you pass because of the lack of coffee? He won't let you pass because of alcohol! He's drunk!

Also a sign in pallet town (called white town in green) says that white is a primary colour! No it isn't! Red, blue and yellow are!

Not only is reading the crappy translation ambitious, but doing it without cheat codes! Because I can't find any for this version! Which means I've got to do a lot of training to get my lvl15 dratini and tentacool to lvl30! :(

The most ambitious thing I've done was raise £3000 for charity in 6 months... which ended pretty well.

The things I plan to do are 1. Get published & have a book that's widely available - maybe even in multiple languages. 2. See all 7 wonders of the world, 1 down, 6 to go.

My primary ambition is also to have a published and popular book and if that happens I want to have a whole series of books. This might be easier to achieve if I stop getting distracted by everything on the internet.

Thirding the book thing, with my primary goal being able to support myself just by writing. Other than that, id love to live in another country, even just for a few years. Italy or japan, preferrably.

Should be starting my YouTube channel in a couple of weeks, dedicated to sim racing and real life motorsport. If I make 20p off ad revenue I'll be happy.

What do you mean where can I go?? Do you mean like where can I learn how to write or what software can I use to write a story or like where can I get inspiration?

You can smell me if you want a hand getting started with writing if you want, since I study creative writing at uni, I might be able to help you :-)

As in where you can post them and get feedback?

The best ones I can think of are like writerscafe.org and booksie.com

Yeah. If everything else fails, I just started a fanfiction thread (don't know how that's gonna go tbh)

well good luck with your writing :-)


I'd post up a story of mine but I don't write fanfiction & I feel like no one would be interested in the sort of stuff I write about 🙈

Fyi, im interested in reading everyones stuff. Published novels are one thing, but theres something fascinating about reading writers at a similar level to me.

And i also would like to second the writing advice thing, if anyone needs my help. I dont have a degree or anything, but ive been writing solidly for a couple years now so i guess that makes my advice valuable in some kind of form?

I am overjoyed to see so many people interested in writing and would also like to help with what I can, I've picked up a few tips over the years.

My only problem at the moment is that I am taking every opportunity to procrastinate and not write and it is starting to annoy me, but I just can't stop slacking off.

I'm considering writing a script based second season of the Total Drama spin off The Ridonculous Race. Total Drama duos I'm thinking who will return are Gwen and Lashawna, Heather and Alejandro, Katie and Sadie, Cody and Sierra, Zoey and Mike, Jazmine and Shawn, Beth and Lindsey, and Izzy with a new character named Missy who is even more insane than her partner. Heather and Alejandro are the main villains.

*Edit* I'm thinking of adding Lois and Peter Griffin to the mix

* Finish a Degree of Psychology so I can be a insufferable known-it-all about people's psychs and tell them why they're feeling what they're feeling and detail the biological/cognitive processes of our emotions and thoughts to people who don't really care.
* Gender converstation so I can be a lady insufferable known-it-all about people's psychs and tell them why they're feeling what they're feeling and detail the biological/cognitive processes of our emotions and thoughts to people who don't really care.
* Marry my sweetheart of six years.  Then I can be a married lady insufferable known-it-all about people's psychs and tell them why they're feeling what they're feeling and detail the biological/cognitive processes of our emotions and thoughts to people who don't really care.

I'm considering doing Drag as a side job. I will mostly be a lip syncer and do Yoko Ono as my celebrity impersonation. If I ever get on Rupaul's Drag Race and make it to Snatch Game, I'm doing Yoko. I'm practicing imitating her voice which isn't too bad and have a couple of jokes ready including one bout the Beatles and what really broke them up.
