The Spectacular Professor

[center][IMG]http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n72/Aceburner85/230px-Bandit_Keith.png[/IMG][/center] [font="Comic Sans MS"]Hello again, my fellow Americans! Bandit Keith here to remind you all that today marks the greatest holiday celebrating the best birth of the best country ever. If you're not American, you'd better get to celebrating anyway, because EVERY COUNTRY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD BELONGS TO AMERICA! So go out and watch some fireworks or barbecue something. Specifically an all-AMERICAN cheeseburger. IN AMERICA. Those aren't even your only options, patriots! You could sit at home and watch a movie, like [b]Kindergarten Cop[/b] (Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, the most American American to ever dwell in AMERICA) or [b]The Sandlot[/b] (it's about baseball, which is as AMERICAN as grandma and apple pie. IN AMERICA). Whatever. Just start celebrating the best holiday to ever have a movie featuring Bill Pullman named after it. Get to it, people. [spoiler]IN AMERICA[/spoiler][/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]IT'S NAHT A TOOMAH [size="1"]This message brought to you by the fact that I'm watching [b]Kindergarten Cop[/b] on this the day of our great nation's birth. [/size][/font]

[quote name='chibi-master' date='03 July 2010 - 03:33 PM' timestamp='1278196398' post='696470'] HEY, EVERYBODY! Today is Japan's birthday, as well as the platypus'! If you don't know who the platypus is, then fine, it's Ace's b-day. [/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfdX6GxXKRg[/media] [font="Comic Sans MS"]Also happy birthday, Laura.[/font]

[quote name='Tonks' date='02 July 2010 - 06:08 PM' timestamp='1278119304' post='696385']I don't think it's possible that anyone could find cobble together a decent supporting argument for the existence of Edward and Bella's relationship. [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]Edward is Stephenie Meyer's wet dream and Bella is her Mary Sue fictional avatar. They belong together because she says so. Oh, right. You meant actual chemistry to explain why they would be attracted to each other, not "you're sexy we should make out now".[/font]

[quote name='Lilt' date='30 June 2010 - 06:20 PM' timestamp='1277947221' post='696237'] [b]I'm not sure still though if I want to go see this one. I only watched parts of the first and second Toy Story movies. I get the general story idea, but if this is the first Toy Story movie I'll sit through, would I even enjoy it?[/b] [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]There are a few inside jokes and continuing plotlines that are definitely enhanced if you've seen the first two, but it's not required. The story does just fine as a stand-alone piece and you should be able to enjoy it still even if you haven't seen the first two. My suggestion is to see if you have a friend you can borrow the first two from, then go see it after that. If you can't do that, go ahead and go to the movie without seeing the first two, but make sure to watch the first two before it comes out on DVD so you can fully appreciate the callbacks when you get to see it again. The first two are well worth your time even without the third one, though. Anyone else looking forward to [b]Monsters, Inc. 2[/b] next year? The [b]Toy Story[/b] world was a fun ride, but I can't wait to explore more about the universe [b]Monsters, Inc.[/b] is set in.[/font]

[quote name='Lady Shy' date='30 June 2010 - 06:21 AM' timestamp='1277904080' post='696209'] You're such a white boy masochist otaku Star Wars nerd. [b]Obviously the whole musical is grand deluxe.[/b] [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]I bolded the important part because of how true it is. Though it's got one line that's either slightly less funny or slightly more funny now that Gary Coleman is dead.[/font] [quote name='eleanor' date='30 June 2010 - 06:58 AM' timestamp='1277906337' post='696210'] She went on to say being white sucked and she wanted to have a "cool culture" to celebrate. I was seriously about to punch her in the face. [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]That's such a load of bunk. White people have Teddy Roosevelt. That's all the "cool culture" I'll ever need.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]I saw it and loved it. Great end to the franchise and only narrowly losing out to 2 for my favorite of the trilogy. One thing that concerned me for a while was [spoiler]Lotso getting pushed in the dumpster. I knew he was a bad guy and he really did cross the line telling Big Baby that Daisy didn't love him anymore, but he was hurting about that too. After all, the guy's entire motivation was his refusal to grow attached to anyone for fear of being rejected again. If you look at it like that, he's probably the biggest victim the movie has. And then he tried to kill Andy's gang by running off like a rat bastard instead of pushing the stop button on the incinerator. After Woody saved his life. After that little moment, I just wanted to see more of him fastened to that semi grill.[/spoiler] EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm going to force my parents to watch [i]My Neighbor Totoro[/i] now just so they can understand the cameo. EDIT 2: I really need to start thinking of these ahead of time. I love how Ken and Barbie were animated. Those awkward, jerky robot movements perfectly conveyed how hard it would be to move around without knees and elbows. It's the little things that impress me the most sometimes.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]They actually only had the anti-incest safeguard in Gold, Silver and Crystal. They took it out after that. Not sure why, but it might have something to do with the fact that they changed how gender is determined and that made it harder to compensate for the rarity of females in certain species without abusing the Ditto Clause.[/font]

[quote name='Lilt' date='28 June 2010 - 05:34 PM' timestamp='1277771684' post='696120'] [b]Can't you never change Jiraichi's name? Since the only way to find one is by trading, right? (And I'm not sure, but I don't think eggs can appear from a legendary, right?) Can you even get an egg from an unevolved Pokémon or one that doesn't evolve?[/b][/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]Legendaries and babies can't breed. Other than that, you can usually at least breed it with a Ditto (babies are the pre-evolutions that are introduced in generations after their "main" form, like Pichu for Pikachu. Chikorita and other first forms that aren't classified as babies can breed).[/font] [quote name='Lilt' date='28 June 2010 - 05:34 PM' timestamp='1277771684' post='696120'][b]Also, what's a good level to start fighting Red? I don't want to die too much, but I also don't want to be too overpowered.[/b] [/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]You might be able to take him at around level 75, just make sure you have something that can outrun his Pikachu and bring a few revives.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Woman's wrath is heavily disproportionate, especially in the matter of gleeful if slightly exaggerated shenanigans. Also, I fixed my friend's old broken iPod and that means I finally have one again! [/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Might as well share my team: [b]Olivier:[/b] My Tyranitar. She's big, loud and painful. Caught her in the Safari Zone about halfway through the Johto league. I promptly assigned her to my team, where she remains to this day for her tendency to dish out even more than she can take. She doesn't seem to understand that seven feet of rock dinosaur is hard to be stealthy with. [b]Chocula:[/b] Crobat. Found in the Union Cave, where he lurked as an especially large Zubat, swooping down to kidnap unsuspecting spelunkers and drain them of fluids. Luckily, I had a pokeball handy and he had very blunt teeth in those days, so he didn't actually manage to harm anyone other than instilling a fear of heights. Nowadays, he's a complete speed demon and an unrivaled flier. His teeth are much sharper, as well. [b]Franziska:[/b] Scizor. She's completely ruthless and nearly indestructible, but tends to try to be a little too creative with her attacks. She once attempted to down an opponent using False Swipe. Met her in National Park, where she won me a Sun Stone for being especially not-lame. [b]Risa:[/b] My Ampharos. she once KOed a Rhyhorn without even aiming for the horn. This was simply because she used Power Gem rather than an electric attack. Still an impressive story, though. She's a reliable ally, but she's a little embarrassed about her neck length. [b]Gulo:[/b] My prized starter, Typhlosion. Between the fire breath and the general tendency to viciously maul things until they're no longer recognizable as their previous form, he tends to leave an impression. Has a bit of a rivalry with Rich(my rival)'s Feraligatr, though it typically just devolves into a bizarre flexing competition. [b]Alice:[/b] Weavile, imported from Sinnoh as a baby Sneasel. She's a bit clingy, but nothing can end a fight faster than her. She hits hard and fast, so things usually finish before they can start, but it's a really bad idea to let her keep going if anything lives through the first blow.[/font]

Gavin tried to organize his very own soccer team in honor of World Cup, but he had one problem: Gavin doesn't have any [b]idea what "soccer" is, since he's pretty sure it's called "football"[/b]! 2. Raiha tells me that one of the many translations for the word 'Otaku' is 'House.' If OtakuBoards were a house Raiha would spend all of her time in the [b]yard, setting elaborate and painful traps for the neighbors' free-range dogs that annoy her so much[/b]. 3. Did you know that Japan 86 worked at McDonalds? Once she accidentally dropped [b]coworker[/b] into the meat grinder, and they charged double for the hamburgers. 4. Adam's huge passion for movies inspired his 100ThingsILearned website, but I would never see a movie with him. The problem is that he won't stop [b]saying inane and somewhat off-topic things[/b] during the picture. 5. Superman said, "The strangest thing happened to me.

[/quote] [font="Comic Sans MS"]If you have two DSes and two DS Pokémon games, it shouldn't be a problem to trade directly between them.

You may want to see a specialist. The above statement probably describes my bad habit better than I can myself.[/font]

Also, I've discovered that playing a game that's over halfway Japanese is actually pretty tolerable with the aid of a couple of guides. It also helps that the game in question is a Tales of the World game, meaning I can both play as Reid Hershel AND have Arche Klein and Leon Magnus backing me up. The cool factor tends to offset the fact that I can understand nothing.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Well, considering she's still got an ongoing season of the Hannah Montana Disney Channel sitcom (One titled Hannah Montana [i]Forever[/i], no less), I doubt she's lost the handle just yet. In fact, I'll be pretty surprised if she ever manages to completely distance herself from her Disney persona. Just look at Shia LeBeouff. Guy's played a grand total of one role that isn't essentially an older version of Louis Stevens. And when was the last time anyone's heard anything from Hillary Duff?[/font]
