And yes I expect it to be filmed and uploaded to youtube. kthx[/font][/color] [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Honestly I think it'd be infinitely more satisfying if we just kicked the guy in the crotch, but that's just me.[/font][/color]

[quote name='chibi-master' timestamp='1301024345' post='705906']So, what kind of situation did YOU think would be really unpleasant, stupid, silly, boring, etc. and yet it turned out to be much better than you had originally thought?[/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Watching My Little Pony. For one that won't make people want to gut me, last year, our own Missy kept heavily promoting The Speed Gamers's week-long Mario marathon for charity. I thought it was neat, but didn't really feel like watching, 'cause I was like "Eh, I have a hard time getting into watching other people play games". Then near the end of the week, I finally decided to watch...and had an absolute blast. I fell in love with them immediately. The fact that they do all that for charity, sometimes even driving themselves to physical pain [like eating super spicy food] is nothing short of amazing. I know I have other similar situations, but I can't seem to think of them at the moment...[/font][/color]

[quote name='The Professor' timestamp='1300902729' post='705874'] [font="Comic Sans MS"]The Friday song is so terrible that I'm convinced that it was made popular by people going "OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS THE MOST TERRIBLE THING DON'T BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH IT". Seriously, folks. If you find something that honest-to-goodness sucks and doesn't even have any value as snark bait, [i]keep it to yourself.[/i][/font] [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"][s]Should I be glad that I have absolutely no idea what that song is, then? [/s] WAIT I LIED I HAVE HEARD IT. I...didn't think it was the most terrible thing ever, but then again I didn't listen to the whole thing. I finally got to donate for Japan today! I feel better about myself now and hope that my small amount will help. I got a pink origami crane for it, too. I have named him Terumi.[/font][/color]

[quote name='Magus' timestamp='1300481423' post='705783'] ...What? [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BenDrowned Basically a story/alternate reality game concerning a haunted Majora's Mask cartridge. At first, people wondered if it was for real or not, since the author was actually pretty convincing about it, before he admitted it was just a giant story of his. Either way, it's actually rather well-done [complete with video to go with it].[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]*sees your avatar and sig* Uh oh. Another brony? That makes...four OBers now. [Although I didn't go so quietly. Just ask the others.][/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]To clarify for some people, Japan is largely Shinto and Buddhist. Only a very small fraction [1-2%] are Christian. I find it irrelevant either way. If that woman meant what she said, that's one thing -- she's giving other Christians a bad name, which I am quite frankly used to at this point, as one myself. However, if she's [i]trolling[/i], then that just brings a whole new level of idiocy to the table -- she's using a humongous tragedy and catastrophe to essentially get on her soapbox and create this caricature of how this belief system is thankful that this happened to Japan. I can tell you right now that I have seen nothing but love and outpouring of support for Japan from every belief system [heck, the main campaign is called [i]Pray[/i] for Japan!], so she's just essentially picking a fight. But I guess that's the point of trolling, after all. Either way, whether you're a Christian that truly believes all that, or a trolling idiot wanting to get a rise out of people is irrelevant. Now is not the time to get on your soapbox and preach about how wrong either side is. There's a country that's in a big mess right now, and no one -- especially them -- needs to hear it.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Here I like Jynx and was actually hoping for an evo this gen. Herp de herp. Anyway, beat the game last night. Love it to death; easily my favorite gen now, hands down. They got so many things right, and it truly feels like a new generation of games. Starting up the postgame stuff now. I don't consider this a huge spoiler, but I'll tag it anyway; [spoiler]Apparently the English translation team either missed the fact that Looker is impled to be an Unova native, or they didn't care...which, given the care given to the script so far, I'd say it was the former. But either way, he still speaks awkward English, when apparently he spoke smooth, fluent Japanese in the original, so.[/spoiler][/font][/color]

[quote name='White' timestamp='1300239983' post='705731'] [font="Tahoma"][color="#696969"]Anyway, I think they really nailed it with the designs this time around. There are still bad ones in this Gen too, don't get me wrong, I definitely facepalmed when I saw the ice cream cone. But that being said there were some pretty horrible looking Pokemon in Generation [size="4"]1[/size] (*cough*Porygon*cough*) that nobody admits are dumb because [i]it's the first generation[/i] and [i]that makes them cool[/i] and I guess that attitude just rubs me the wrong way. They're never going to please everyone, obviously, but they came pretty darn close with this generation. [/color][/font] [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]*likelikelikelikelikelike* I mean, as much as I adore Gen I, it is not the bastion of creativity people seem to hail it as. I understand the nostalgia, and I understand the need to keep nostalgia goggles on sometimes, but a lot of them are just...bad. Especially with the names [Krabby and Seel, anyone?]. Gen V is probably the first gen where I am really, really satisfied with a lot of the designs, and really like a lot of the Pokemon. It's especially good since Gen IV/Sinnoh disappointed me so much [although, ironically enough, it DID give me my favorite Pokemon ever -- Giratina]. It's gotten me to really form a team that I truly care about. I haven't felt that way since my beloved Crystal back in the day [even if 90% of my team was just a Legendary-fest].[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]So I fought Drayden...wasn't as nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be. On my way to Victory Road now. Probably going to get my butt handed to me at the Elite Four, at the very least. I really dig the return of the badge gates, and love what they did to them. <3 Also, I finally have my Chandelure. All is right in the Pokemon world. Minus the looming threat of hostile takeover by N and Team Plasma, that is. [s]why am I still awake[/s][/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]I think the funniest part of that is how the screencap got Boo's icon on that frame. It's like Trip's shouting just made Boo stop mid-dance.[/font][/color]

[color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Much as I love the old gens, you can easily argue that they all had "Pokemon that aren't really Pokemon". Although considering Gen V specifically takes elements from Gen I, maybe the derpiness of some Pokemon are intentional? I dunno. YMMV.[/font][/color]

[quote name='Boo' timestamp='1300113820' post='705687'] Some of these pokémon look really awful. :( [/quote] [color="#9932CC"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]All gens had awful Pokemon. Just sayin'. Anyway, I'm about to face Drayden. I am probably not prepared at all. I'm going to mainly rely on Stocking the Gothitelle since I think Psychic types won't get cut in half by Dragons? Not sure though. As for my team, I'll edit with that later, but I am uncreative and don't have cute personalities laid out for them or anything. ._.; Sorreh.[/font][/color]
