Better Than You: Turmac Roll

This week's Better Than You features Turmaculus. Below is his challenge statement.

"What's this? It looks like the Turmaculus is awake. He's stomping his foot and gesturing to that hilly area... perhaps we should follow? Ah ha! It looks like he's challenging us to a friendly match! Think you can beat the Turmaculus? If so, let's see what you got!"

To beat him you must get 4,000 points in Turmac Roll. I am actually going to try this one, as I have done quite well at this game in the past.

Prize is Faerie Berry Recipes for the 500 winners. Additionally, you get a Gold Trophy and 20,000 Neopoints if you are the first 10, Silver Trophy and 10,000 Neopoints if you are between the 11th and 50th, and a Bronze Trophy and 3,000 Neopoints if you are between 51st and 500th.

Good Luck to all and remember to comment and share your tips on this game to help other readers out.

My 2009 Neopets Goals

Every year as the new year approaches I make a few goals. Most of them are non-Neopets relates, such as read one D.C. themed book a month for my D.C. blog, work on new products and launch my new website design for Kj's Crafts, and get my house and studio organized. Several of those goals are the same as last year and sadly at least the last two are carried over because I did not do them in 2008. This year I am making some Neopets goals as well.

1. Earn 25,000 neopoints a day by playing games. This will also encourage me to get back in the habit of posting the daily Gaming logs, which I hope some of you will join in by commenting.

2. Get my Neobank account upgraded to the highest level. I still need about 9,250,000 to get to that point, which means it may take me all of 2009 at the rate of 25,000 a day and then some, so hopefully I get enough extra from items and days I play more to make this goal.

3. Start buying gourmet food again for my pet. This goal will not start until after I get my bank account upgraded to the highest level. I will then start using up the saved money to buy my pet gourmet food.

Do you have any Neopets goals for 2009?>

Neopets Puzzle Adventure for Nintendo DS

I rented this last week. It is actually a pretty fun puzzle game that is similar to Othello. As you achieve different things you get Neopets prize codes redeemable for virtual prizes on Neopets.com. There are a total of ten codes per cartridge. I was able to get 9 of them. The final one I could not get because you have to know someone else to play a multiplayer battle with and you cannot do it over Nintendo WiFi, which means you have to know someone in real life who has the game. For a game based on an online community it is really sad to see that it does not use the WiFi ability, especially since the Club Penguin DS game integrates well with their online community, so it is definitely possible. Perhaps it is Nintendo that prevented that aspect, as I hear they can be pretty picky with allowing third party games to use that feature, but it seems such a shame. It is a fun puzzle game and the plot is good, but there would be really more depth to it if you could do WiFi.
