sarahesque Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Today, I watched movies, went to a cookout very briefly, and then started playing Habitarium XD it's a pretty interesting game. I'm not certain if I'm good at it or not, haha. But yeah. My Independence Day was pretty unenthusiastic. It hasn't been a big day for my family for years, though. We're kind of lame when it comes to holidays C= Quote
khaos Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I don't think you can be good at Habi. You just watch your slaves P3s work and buy food, shelter, and storage and a nest to breed. Which may sound like a lot, but within a game it's not really. Quote
Spritzie Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I did pretty much nothing. I worked 6 hours today, then bummed around home the rest of the day. For Habi, there's some tricks that make it easier and more efficient. Like, blocking off your storage buildings. Or blocking your workers at their resource. You can place a decoration item in the same square as your workers after you've placed them, and that will stop the pests from spawning in those places. Quote
khaos Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I put the storage really close to a lot of the resources. Other than that, nothing strategic. Quote
Spritzie Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I have mine blocked off entirely, as well as having my workers blocked in. I don't know what difference it technically makes, but I like it tons better when my P3s aren't roaming all over the place, and moving around to different sides of the resources. Quote
khaos Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 What did you block them with? The grarrl tooth thing? Quote
Spritzie Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I have most of mine blocked in using the Pine Cone Shard and Twig Fences, but you can use any decorations. At a couple resources, they're blocked in by the Dandelions and Mossy Twigs. I use the Glowing Embers to place after the workers are placed, to keep the pests out of their work area. Quote
khaos Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Oh, i get it. Off topic, anyone watch on YouTube? Quote
AngelBones Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Mmmmm, I actually did something on the 4th of July, not purposefully for Independance Day, but it coincided anyway XD. I went out to town to have dinner with a few mates of mine. It was a really great night, the desserts were amazing! And lol, i've kinda given up on Habitarium... I'm just not on Neopets consistently enough.... I do love the occasional game of KeyQuest though! Otherwise i just make sure my neopets are happy and fed. Should probably go do that now actually ^^. Oh, i get it. Off topic, anyone watch on YouTube? OMG!!!! This looks brilliant XD. Hahahaha the little girl!! So cute :3. Quote
eris Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Oh, Spritzie, that's exactly what I do with my Habi! I have a row of nests blocking entrance to storage, and my workers stay put where they are in front of the resource. My computer seems much happier with the P3's not running around everywhere. x) I've also been focusing on getting more avvies - mostly the random and game ones, though I have started requesting item lends through the ALP (which actually nudged me to join the forum and meet the community).

Ashbash Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I did pretty much nothing. I worked 6 hours today, then bummed around home the rest of the day. For Habi, there's some tricks that make it easier and more efficient. Like, blocking off your storage buildings. Or blocking your workers at their resource. You can place a decoration item in the space square as your workers after you've placed them, and that will stop the pests from spawning in those places. Thanks so much for telling us that! I would've never thought of that and it really is making a huge difference! It reminds me of what I used to do on cafe world with my stoves lol. Quote
Spritzie Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I read about the idea of blocking off the storage buildings here. It's definitely reduces the lag, to not have them roaming across the screen. Eevee is the one that told me about blocking the workers in at the resources and placing a decoration under them to stop pests. One day she helped my stream-line my Habi to make it prettier and work more smoothly. I haven't changed anything since then, because it works so nicely. Eris, how is your avatar hunt going so far? I've kinda hit a stand-still myself. The majority of avatars I still need are game ones (which I'm having no luck with. I've been working on Faerie Bubbles for a long time now. Maybe it's time to skip it and try another one.) daily ones, like the Wheel of Knowledge and Snowager, stamp ones (Which is never going to happen) and different site ones like the Neopian Times, Random Contest, and Caption Contest. Quote
khaos Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 (this question wasn't for me but I'm answering it anyway) Well, I suck at game avatars, and I've gotten a few random ones and all of the Pet of a certain color ones. and clickable ones. except for Darigan Pteri. Quote
Tedhaun Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I'm in a stand still as well. I'm still trying to poke that Snowager every chance I get, but he is still very stingy and will not give me the avatar. One of these days, that avatar will be mine! I don't have the wits for the Caption Contest or the patience for every 100th contest either since a lot of people are going to submit their captions on every 100th Caption Contest since they want the avatar for it. I don't have the potential or the skills for those site-themed contests in general. I'd rather just go for some of the game avatars (anything that doesn't require Shockwave). I'm happy with whatever avatars that I do have, especially that Meepit Juice Break avatar that took me 12 hours one Sunday to obtain, and the TDMBGPOP avatar as well. I'm not really huge on obtaining avatars on Neopets. Quote
Spritzie Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I enter the Caption Contest when something jumps out at me, but I've yet to make it in. I've had thoughts for the NT, but never put them into action. And I do plan to enter a Random Contest someday, when the theme really strikes me. I don't know when I'll ever get Meepit Juice Break. I've been casually trying here and there, to improve my score on normal, since I don't know when I'll have 10-12 hours pretty much uninterrupted to try on Zen. When I'm off work, there's generally enough going on that I wouldn't be able to get it done. Quote
Ashbash Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 If I could just get either the Typing Terror, Faerie Bubbles, Dice A Roo or Lever of Doom avatar sometime in the near future I'd be happy. Just 1 of those would make me happy because I feel like I've been trying for all of them for so long. Quote
Tedhaun Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I remember getting the Dice-A-Roo avatar shortly upon my return to Neopets back in August of 2010. Getting the jackpot in that game is not very easy, especially after a lot of Game Overs throughout the process. I may try the Lever of Doom again when I saved up a lot of Neopoints, that is one of the costliest avatars if you're not lucky. Quote
Ashbash Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 See some people tell me dice a roo is super easy. I really think it just all depends on luck. I've been spending 2000 per day on the lever of doom just hoping to get it. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 @Kaito: I do! I love it. :) Have you seen the new Elders React? Quote
ickle_party_cat Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 See some people tell me dice a roo is super easy. I really think it just all depends on luck. I've been spending 2000 per day on the lever of doom just hoping to get it. Ashbash I'm the same but been spending 5k on that stupid lever in vain hope of getting it. Dice a Roo I have given up with totally as I don't have nay luck with that one. Im trying to focus on the Hide and Seek smile avatar now as thats another annoyance for me! Quote
khaos Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 @Kaito: I do! I love it. :) Have you seen the new Elders React? I'm watching it now. I already saw the Nyan Cat Elders one xD I've recently started to watch Teens React starting with MLP. :D Quote
jumpingbeans Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I love Teens React too...basically, I love "React" videos by TheFineBros. xD Quote
AngelBones Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Hahahaha same, I'm pretty much addicted to watching them now XD. What else do you guys watch on YouTube? Have any particular favourite videos? Quote
khaos Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Not generally. I just watch stuff from BikdipOnABus, GalacticElliot, and GiantAnt456, and occasionally Chuggaaconroy or TheRunawayGuys. (not linking to all of those) I also watch random crap that's all over YouTube and also Vocaloid. never too much vocaloid. and MLP. never too much MLP. Quote
Tedhaun Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Anything I watch on Youtube? Pretty much anything having to do with Neopets, vintage gaming (NES, Game Boy, Super NES, etc.), as well as assorted cartoons and anime (though I watch some of those elsewhere). Did you know that The Daily Neopets had their own Youtube channel? It's defunct now, but here it is: http://www.youtube.com/user/thedailyneopets Only thing really awesome is that Shenkuu River Rush video guide that Ian posted for the channel. I'm not sure if I can pull of these score-boosting tactics, whoever posted this for TDN must be really good with consecutive timing. Quote
