Pokemon Card Collection Storage Tips

Image
Well, the time has come to discuss the Pokemon Trading Card Game on my blog. I've been collecting Pokemon cards since I was about 8 years old. I did stop for a few years but with last years 20th anniversary celebrations for the Pokemon franchise being shoved at me from all directions, I somehow found myself purchasing a Mythical Collection: Mew Box at my local EB Games one day. Just like that, my love for collecting the cards was ignited once again. The one thing I had to do when I decided that I would get back into collecting the cards was find a more efficient and better way to store them. As an 8-12 year old I found that I was keeping all my spares in a tin and the ones that I liked or were rare in an unsorted binder full of 9-pocket sleeves. It was not the most convenient system.... Not even close. So I did a lot of research around the web. There are some fantastic Poke-tubers who specialise in PTCG related content and some of them have made videos about how they hav...

Overwatch double EXP weekend (June 8th - 12th 2017)

Image
Blizzard has dropped the goods today! It has been announced that this weekend is a double exp weekend! Yay! The double EXP weekend is available for everyone on all platforms, yes, those of you who play on PS4 and XBOX One you are included. This means that players are able to earn those sweet Anniversary Event loot boxes twice as fast! I'll be playing every chance that I get to make the most of it. I'm still grinding away to get all the dance emotes and skins that I can before the anniversary event wraps up on June 12th 2017. "I've got my eye on you" - Mercy. Yep, I've got my eye on your dance emote, Miss Mercy! Check her out doing "the hustle" in the background of this image. Image belongs to Blizzard I was really hoping that Blizzard would drop a double exp weekend sometime soon as I only started playing Overwatch just over a month ago and I haven't quite earned my first star for my player portrait yet. I'm sitting at level 9...

Skill and Relax Clubhouse

Image
A while ago, I wanted to make a tudor styled exterior home. Somehow it ended up turning into a club venue. I may later edit the top story of the lot and change it to be a home. So stay tuned! Name: Skill and Relax Clubhouse Date: 6th June 2017 Build type: Community lot Venue Type: Bar Value: $124,285 Lot Size: 30 x 20 Lot Traits: Home Studio, Homey, Great Acoustics Description: A clubhouse venue. This was rather generically designed for a "getaway" style club. It's a place where members can relax and focus on the more artistic type skills and activities. With a few edits you could narrow down the purpose quite easily though. Features a bar, a writing room, a painting room, a large dining room and a relaxing sitting room perfect for curling up with a book or playing some chess. A grand piano and an open microphone too, for those who are musically inclined or wish to sing or work on their comedic skills. Also has a quite area out the back of the building for some y...

The Sims 4: Sim Archive

The Sims series has come a very long way when it comes to creating a Sim. Remember how limited the customisation was in the original Sims game? It didn't really let you go too wild back then. What we have with The Sims 4 is a lot of freedom to really create whatever Sims we want. Although we may no longer have the powerful color/pattern tools from the previous title in the series and now have rather limited color swatches instead, it's still a giant leap from the original game and you can create a lot of amazing Sims with it. You can create a pretty awesome version of yourself as a Sim, or maybe your favorite Celebrity, video game character etc. Here is an archive for the Sims that I have created in The Sims 4. I also have archives for all of my Sims 4 builds too! Feel free to check out my Room Builds , Commercial Lots and Houses . Single Sims: Daisy Nya . Daisy was created for my Rosebud Challenge Youtube series. The series has been put canceled, but if you want to ch...

Welcome!

Greetings! You have stumbled upon my humble blog. My name is Toreshii. Are you looking for gaming content? Random ramblings of an Australian female nerd? Then you're in the right place! Lets get real for a moment though. Why start this blog? Good question, everyone seems to have a blog these days so why do I need one too? Well, I started up a youtube channel last year and I was having  fun opening my Pokemon cards and discussing the TCG and doing some gaming series. I mean, sure it was fun and I enjoyed it, but in the end it just wasn't for me. Part of me stopped my youtube channel because I was having trouble with my video editing software, but an even larger part of me simply found that talking and presenting my ideas/content in videos just wasn't working out for me. I just can't do the whole commentate and game thing at the same time very well. I've been keeping a personal blog since I was a teenager, so blogging is no new medium to me. So I decided that my con...
