I kinda skipped over them most of the time >_>

Did you not see that they changed the openings when the villains' final stands were revealed? You messed up, man.

But we made Osmosis Jones like 15 years ago.

Is it from an odd numbered generation?

It was cool, though it sucks how few panels they had on Saturday that I was interested in. I only buy one-day passes before they're full-price, so I have to choose way in advance what day I have to go.

I ended up doing the Jojo escape room too, and that was actually super fun. I sort of regret not being able to do the Zero Escape one that they did a few years back.

I finished the Trails in the Sky series fairly recently, is it recommended to just jump into Cold Steel right after? I know there's a couple games that were released in Japan that weren't localized yet, and I don't know if I should wait for them or not.

They got fired for THAT? Yikes. Gamergaters must've came out hard

She also apparently tweeted that she was relieved when TotalBiscuit died, so I assume this was the final straw, rather than an isolated incident. The guy she got into an argument with is also apparently a fairly big content creator for GW2 as well, so much so that they made him an NPC in the game.

I'm not sure how warranted the other guy's termination was though.

Whoa there's a part 5! Toonami is only on part 3!

Part 5's been around since the 90's, my guy.

i liked the first couple of hours, but then found out that stuff is timegated (as in, if you wait too long to do something it becomes unavailable), so i felt pressured to find and complete quests as fast as i could instead of dicking around and exploring, which is what i initially liked. also hated that you gain stats based on what class you have equipped, so if you were to switch classes around a lot (which i did), you'd end up with a subpar character

never went back to it

I totally get the second complaint, especially since the class I wanted to play (magick archer) has subpar growths for what it wants to do. I ended up modding my game so that it gave me similar growths to what a standard mage's growths would be. You can do the same if that's what bothers you, but I think the solution to the quests one is to just keep a guide handy for when stuff gets locked off.

Xenoblade has some occasional framerate issues on the Wii. I don't know if there's any issues with the Wii U port, but if it does run better I would just get that.

i really liked this anime but i feel like there should be a season 3

The manga apparently goes for a couple more books (the anime adapts the first two books). I do believe Madhouse is animating a spin-off series about Tonegawa in the near future.

Then how exactly are you watching it?

If it helps you sympathize with him a little, Kaiji apparently takes places at a point during the 90's where unemployment was at a record high in Japan, highest it had been since World War II or something like that.

gen 1 is porygon

Porygon's got a three stage evolution (two of which are good competitively) and is infamously blamed for the seizure episode, and is thus the only Pokemon banned from being featured in episodes of the anime.

Kaiji you have an IQ of 65

Kaiji's the smartest, goodest boy, you take that back.

Great show, would actually love to hear moment-to-moment reactions for this.

When I took that Sporcle quiz, I couldn't get Exeggutor or its pre-evo because of the spelling, so I'd assume people were spelling it as "Lickitongue."

It doesn't help that Lickilicky is one of my least favorite Pokemon because I think it shits on Lickitung's design, so I'm probably just biased.

Get 1: Wigglytuff

Easy after. It had no big part in the show or the game

You mean besides being the evolution of one of the most popular Gen 1 Pokemon? A lot of Pokemon are only memorable if only because they have a notable member of its evolutionary line. Might as well argue that Leafeon or Raichu are obscure because their pre-evolved forms are more popular.

Which is why we remember it. Mr.Mime only got a stupid baby from in gen 4 but it's always been under used or never.

Yeah, but Ash's mom has one at home and I'm sure Mr. Ketchum isn't missed. >_>

The way I see it, the most forgettable Pokemon can't be 1. Part of a recurring archetype (starters, Pikachu clone, Route 1 bird, Route 1 Rodent, etc.) 2. owned by a prominent character in the games or anime, 3. competitively significant, or 4. a meme.

You can make a case for why any Gen 1 Pokemon isn't forgettable, but that's because everyone knows the first gen. No one will fight you for forgetting Stantler or Finneon though.

I'd argue that Tangela has an evolution that's notorious in competitive play, so Farfetch'd is left as the only Gen 1 Pokemon that was never good and never got any help through evolutions or new mechanics in later gens. If anything it's notable for how little GameFreak seems to care about it.

Gen 6 -Deerling

Deerling is Gen 5, but I don't think that helps its case.

InstaReturns posted...

Are these dudes the new Team Rocket, if so they look horrible, and by that I mean their design and everything about them.

Team Skull is the best, you take that back.

I thought it was more for getting a free special summon and searching a field spell. Honestly, they should limit terraforming. Field spells have been too good recently.

They nerfed Pendulum Magicians and True Draco. Also banned Ancient Fairy Dragon.

Enya definitely knew. I figure they were about to use Hermit Purple on her before Steely Dan showed up. Either way, Hermit Purple has always been extremely vague in what it can communicate.

Lysol.

Is it all out and finally finished?

Its technically finished, but theres a few unresolved plot threads and an obvious tease for another potential series.

Im partial to the Beach Boy and The Grateful Dead fight in part 5 myself.

Are you skipping the DLC? If you have the PC version, it comes with it.

I thought it was a really good way to experience Metroid 2.

My issue with the beginning of the series is that it seems like Deku wasn't putting as much effort into his options of becoming a quirkless hero as he probably should have. UA is shown to have support-oriented classes where the students create gadgets, so he could've gotten savvy with engineering, or at least gotten friendly with a gadgeteer. The very first draft for the series actually has Deku as a 20-something year old salary man trying to market his equipment to actual superheroes, so quirkless Deku just seemed more consistent with how the rest of the series would play out.

I feel like in the draft before One for All, Deku was probably already creating things while also taking notes on peoples' quirks, and that All Might's support would be the emotional spark to encourage him to follow his dreams.

Very Light MHA Vigilantes Spoilers: Being quirkless doesn't stop one of the main characters in that series from beating people with quirks constantly.

It's honestly fine either way, but I would've liked Deku at least acknowledging other options to start with. He didn't even bother getting physically fit until All Might's training.

apolloooo posted...

Someone should tell midoriya about batman

IIRC, the author's original idea was that Deku would stay quirkless and probably use gadgets to keep up, but One for All was a last minute suggestion by the editor. On one hand, I think I would've preferred BatDeku, but All Might was changed from just an inspiration for him to his mentor, and I really do like their student-teacher relationship.

Someone beat me to it.

I refuse. AC as an acronym already belongs to Ace Combat, Animal Crossing, and most importantly, air conditioner.

I'd rather have a Biblical Cinematic Universe. We have enough adaptations of Jesus and Moses, but I want some of the less-known books to get Guardians of the Galaxy-levels of new exposure. Old Testament stuff is hilariously awesome sometimes.

Oh, so that's how you spell that word. At least I learned one good thing from this topic.

I always considered teabagging as more of a taunt than anything sexual.

It's become so ubiquitous and commonplace that people don't even think of it as a crude gesture, but let's just say it's not something you'd do in real life. If you don't realize that it's actually something crude, then I think it's time to take a quick look at yourself.

And I'll say it as many times as I'll need to (probably at least thrice more in this topic), this was a business setting and the guy in question was representing his company. If you're defending this behavior, then I wish you all luck going into your jobs tomorrow flipping off your customers.

If it's safe to assume that this is an FPS, you're also not supposed to kill people IRL, but I like to think that everyone understands that at least.

You're completely right that he's representing his company when he's introducing the game to journalists, and I think teabagging in a professional scenario like that is definitely a faux pas. I just think that she should've tried to address the issue on her own without going to his employer and causing a big stink about it.

You don't generally go to someone's employer about the employee's negative behavior without at least some minor expectation that the situation will escalate and the person just might get fired (she was vague about how she hoped she ruined the guy's weekend in a tweet, but it seemed like she was hoping he would be punished in some way).

If the game dev was either unapologetic about it, or was repeatedly committing the offense, she definitely should've gone to his higher-ups. I just think she should've told the game dev that she didn't appreciate that sort of behavior, and try to settle the issue like adults.

I always considered teabagging as more of a taunt than anything sexual. If someone teabags me in an FPS, it's always just more a challenge to beat them and return the favor. If you've played any team FPS ever, spamming the crouch button will generally get some of your teammates to start doing it too, just because it's a thing to do to interact without having to speak.

In Smash specifically, you can't even teabag an opponent you just knocked out, but repeatedly crouching hurts just as much as taunting. If you play against the CPUs enough, even they'll start crouching after a KO because the AI in the later games learn to use techniques that generally lead to winning, and that's one of them I guess.

I just think this situation escalated WAY too much. Just tell the dev that did it that it wasn't cool, to cut it out and move on. Why does everyone assume everything is done out of malicious intent?

Yeah, your party seems fine. Honestly, I felt that Defiance Bay was also one of the weaker elements of the first game, especially since they didn't do much with whatever faction you side with to progress the story. I would just trudge through it.

IIRC both your priest and the cipher you can get both have quests that seem to progress the longer you have them in your party. If you're going for all the sidequests you can possibly get, I'd say you should side someone out for Grieving Mother temporarily, at least until you finish her quest (if you care to, obviously).

You get Aloth for a wizard really early in the game, so I don't think you necessarily need another wizard. If you have the DLC as well, you can get one of each class in the game, not including your own character. Unless you're seriously not enjoying how your character plays, I'd say just stick with it.

What class is your character anyways? You should be able to build a decent team around them no matter what.

BTW, if you plan on doing the Nightmare Arena, bring Anelace along. If you beat it with her in the party, her Jinu gets super upgraded into her ultimate weapon. If you don't want to actually use her as a damage dealer in the fights, you can put the time orb that you get from one of the Sun Doors on her in order to double her casting speed and just constantly cast Earth Wall on everyone.

This article about a man named Kain Blackwing sending two of his ninja wives to assassinate a teenager last year says otherwise. Real life's an anime now, and it's a dumb one.

The King and the Royal Guards are some of my favorite characters in the series.

Telemarketer.

this

hate them with an absolute passion

As someone who was a telemarketer for all of two weeks, I feel pity more than anger, because I know how sad it is to work a job where people equate you to the devil.

Though the ones that don't put you on the "do not call" list and keep calling can go fuck right off.

Roundabout is also a really good weapon. Also, is it the giant robot boss? It's the giant robot boss, isn't it?

Once you get to the desert, Darumaka and Sandile's final evolutions are both really good. Of note, there's also Litwick and Axew from that generation that you can get a bit later on as well.

In general, Gen 5 has the most min-maxed Pokemon statwise, so most of your choices of Pokemon from that gen are gonna be pretty good regardless. The main issue is that some of them, like Larvesta and Deino, don't get their final evolutions until way past level 50.

Just got done with all of them. Star Door 15's really dark.

I really do enjoy how goofy the Sun Doors are, just to justify having minigames.

I went snorkeling there in high school and a bass chomped down on my hand for no reason.
