So, let me get started on talking about something that happened recently. A few months back, I watched an LP of the very well known franchise called Mass Effect. I don't know how many of you here are fans of that game series, but if you don't know what it is, go check it out whenever you feel like it. So, anyway, I decided to watch it to see what it was about. The first game I didn't get into because it was kind of bland in my opinion, but I was quite intrigued by the different elements of it. I liked the different races and their unique qualities, I liked the different places and planet, oh my goodness, so many of those places were so beautiful, especially the views from the surfaces of those planet. Stunning, breathtaking, I'd love to see those places. The game, itself, is like a sci-fi dream come true of sorts, the desire to go into space, live in space as well as on different planets, meet with the different alien species and sorts. It was incredible. Again, I really didn't get into it, but I went on to watching the second game since the first one kind of ended in a cliffhanger, pretty much telling you that there's still more to the story. Well, come the second game, I really got into it. During the second game, I became hooked. A lot of the different elements in the first game felt like they were enhanced, it was amazing. I really did love the interactions between the characters, the many different things that took place in the game, especially the space travel, it's one of the reasons why I became enamored with the game. I've loved it and I have watched the LPs of the game multiple times. So, what does this have to do with creative work? Well.....I'm a little coy about admitting this, but.....I've been writing a fanfic of sorts....well, actually, it's more of a coping story than a fanfic, at least I believe so. You see, my....personal issues have kicked in again and I have been writing another story to deal with it. It's an unorthodox one....and one that I believe is a little unorthodox for a Mass Effect story. Regardless, the stuff that I have put into this story I've added for good reasons. Ideas like this are what have kept me sane for a long time and I would be worse off without them. Please understand that I do what I must for my mental health even if what I do seem mental. If you would like to check it out, here's the link for an account of mine that I have been writing the story in: https://www.reddit.com/user/RP-the-US-writer/posts/ This story is a challenge all on it's own. I do whatever I can to not stray away from the elements that make Mass Effect for what it is. I love a good challenge and it can be fun to work on something that can be quite hard to do. This is something that comes naturally for me and I have exercised this for a very, very long time.

So, let me continue with what I have been discussing in the previous posts. Several years back, I got into the tv show, Totally Spies. It's a show about 3 teenage girls who live a double life as ordinary high school students getting involved with average high school stuff. You know, boys, classes, the annoying nemesis mean girl that nobody likes. But they are also spies of a secret organization called WOOHP, World Organization Of Human Protection. They go on awesome adventures and face off against maniacal masterminds devoted to causing all sorts of terrible things. Sometimes, their spy work coincide with their daily lives and a few times, they connect with one another. I admit, as much as I hate boring, teenage drama, I was really hooked on this show. A while afterwards, I made it a part of my story, I love it that much. Soon enough, the girls of WOOHP became recurring characters in my stories and they have been a great fit. Also, the girls have become good friends with the Starfox team. Well, it was perfect, I mean, how could I resist? In my story, their lives of Totally Spies is a tv show. The girls are stars who look younger; they are actually adults. During their first appearance in Ultimate Story the Missing Link, they are 19 (Alex), 20 (Sam) and 21 (Clover). However, they are also live double lives as spies of an outer space organization named GROUP (Galactic Representation Of Universal Protection), (I know, these girls have crazy lives). Their employer to coordinates their missions is Larry, who is the identical twin brother of Jerry, who works in the show as the same role that his brother plays on Totally Spies. (Yeah, I have mentioned this before and yes, I did mention that how crazy this is) After meeting with the Starfox team for the first time, they have stayed in touch with them. Also, General Pepper has become like another employer to them, which they did like. This was revealed in Ultimate Story 2 when the girls were sent by the general to investigate the strange occurance of Dinosaur Planet and why it fell apart while the Starfox team was sent to try and fix the planet. The girls continue to remain close friends to the Starfox team and even do some things with them on their spare time. This has been a lot of fun to come us with. Well, I think that should be all for now. I will mention a bit more about this whenever I can.

It has recently come to my attention that the only working download link is, again, dead. -> Here's a new one. <- I should've responded sooner; I was going to suggest Google Drive, since those links seem to last the longest. And, as a shot in a dark, if @Pharrox ever sees this, the source could would be incredibly useful, even if it hasn't been "cleaned up" yet.

Banned because happy belated birthday to you too!

A general discussion topic about the in-universe logic regarding stuff that appears on the map in StarFox 2. First thing. The Brain Scramblers in StarFox 2, they appear on expert mode and hijack the Orbital Cannon that auto-defends Corneria for you. They turn it around and start firing on Corneria, but how exactly does it work? I'm thinking that the most likely thing is that it takes over the minds of those on board the station, if true that gives me a lot of room for my dumb headcanons. The idea of mind-control in the StarFox Universe seems a little bit wild, so I was also thinking that they just hack the computers of the station and take it over that way. Though I think the mind-control thing is 90% likely what it is just going off the name "Brain Scrambler" alone.
