One of the first games I got for the Gameboy Advanced: [b]Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.[/b] This game claimed hundreds of hours, and it seems that it was just the beginning since I have fallen back in love with it. This is an RPG style hack and slasher, with play-style that is a mixture between Diablo and Borderlands [spoiler]one.[/spoiler] the combat is very basic, but the battles can be tough if you aren't prepared. The system has a very high chance of critical hits, so any enemy, no matter how weak can mess you up if you don't murder them fast. Its this risk of death that makes the game just a little more exciting then the rest of the hack and slashers. The other thing that adds to replay value is the thousands of weapons and armors. Like Borderlands, they have a mixture of weapons, prefixes, and suffixes that add stats(borderlands has more, but this is still impressive) as a few unique items from the books that are extremely hard to find. Also there is seven playable characters, and each of them has a story that follows what they did in the movie, (not necessarily the books, since the game is based off the movie) and a lot of the stories are vastly different. I am not a big fan of collectables, but this game does it a little better by not having very many and making them hard to find, rather than everywhere but hard to find all of them. Also there are four bonus maps that are actually lengthy (except for one, and if you played it then it you will know that it never ends soon enough) and pretty cool in general. The level cap Is fifty two I think... which is far higher than I have ever gotten to, so you pretty much always have something to do when you turn it on. Anyways, I have talked about it too much and now I wanna play it some more.

Well, aside from my usual [b]Regina Spektor[/b] kicks, I have been getting back into [b]Michelle Branch[/b]. It certainly isn't the best music, but my gosh is it catchy. The entire reason why I started listening to her again is because he typed out the chorus of one of her songs in TheOtaku Chat. I guess on another note I have been listening to a lot of [b]Tsuji Shion[/b]. The animes that use her in intros definitely got her best songs, but the album she came out with has a few fun songs I was happy to stumble upon.

These holidays get more and more hilarious. Complement your mirror day has to be one of my favorites so far. Also, if you celebrate all these holidays expect to gain ten pounds. Sweets are apparently big in the month of July.

[/font] [/quote] Why even bother with the Superman movie when a true American hero is about to hit the big screen.

DRUM DRUM DRUM. It would be really cool if we could get all types for that one... but I know that is pretty unlikely.... It would just be an improvement if everyone who signed up actually competed (Shakes fist at 'Ol Fighter)

[quote name='Lawliet' timestamp='1309207797' post='708173'] It's not fair!!! We should all use normal types for the next one! [/quote] I would be okay with that. d:

That would be a ton of fun! the more pokemon battles the better. The end of this tournament might feel a bit anticlimactic... but everything else about this tournament rocks.

[quote name='James' timestamp='1309144440' post='708143'] [font="palatino linotype"]Try running the search now and see how you go. [/font] [/quote] Thanks for looking at it James, It really is much easier for me to search now. It was possible to get around the three and lower ban by only typing the words in a title that are fiour and up... (I used to do this a lot) but it would unusually make searches take forever. It sucks that certain words can't be banned... but wit the quoting option even words like the and and can still be added without making the search pull up thousands of f threads.

[quote name='chibi-master' timestamp='1309154640' post='708152'] If I sleep, I think I'll have nightmares about cows. [/quote] this is the second time I have heard about this cow-nightmare thing. I have only seen a couple of these things in real life... but I thought they were kinda cute (and really really smelly)

Don't go in there overconfident at all white! he is trying to trick you too! d: Anyways, I want to tell everyone I PMed Mr. Noshow, and my schedual is pretty open this week... It would be awesome if he DID show up because I really wanna pulverize some pokemon.

I like it. This is gold... I like gold.

Well, I have to disable all security for mine, since the wifi router I have uses WPA passwords instead of WEP. maybe that is your problem too.

[quote name='Lawliet' timestamp='1304983482' post='707238'] ...because I'm trying to IV breed. [/quote] I think this is what got me scared... but if you didn't EV breed for all of them than there is a good reason to be afraid, since I EV trained all of mine. I didn't IV breed, but I guess I do wanna win this a bit too much. [font="Century Gothic"]^^;;[/font]

[quote name='Lawliet' timestamp='1308497209' post='708024'] CaNz's 2-0 record is kinda intimidating. I guess my record is the same as his but I didn't have to fight for mine. [/quote] Well, it is true that I had to fight pretty hard to beat my opponents, but I didn't IV train so I am still a bit afraid of a 6 mon team with 31 points for each stat. I am glad that Kei is still doing the synopsis... it feels like a pro tournament when I read those.

[quote name='Grouchy Cat' timestamp='1308367109' post='708008'] That's the life. [/quote] Meh... So I just spent nine bucks to see an okay movie... I dunno why I feel so cheated... since this is normal for most people. I think I have gotten way too used to the internet and how much entertainment you can get for nothing.

[quote name='Kei' timestamp='1308372583' post='708009'][font="Tahoma"][color="#000080"] (and sorry for the delay)[/color][/font] [/quote] No need to apologies... stuff like this happens.
