  2. I Had A Random Thought...

    tegan replied to Zeusthecat's topic in Idle Banter

    If I remember correctly, she shut the box after the evils escaped because she didn't want to release any more, but didn't realize that hope was inside. Later she opened it again and released hope.

  3. Actually, It's about Relocation in Games Journalism

    tegan replied to Architecture's topic in Video Gaming

    USGamer has a lot of really talented people working for it (Jeremy Parish, Kat Bailey, KC Green...), but just never catches my eye for whatever reason.

  4. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    tegan replied to tegan's topic in Video Gaming

    I'm still soft-resetting for Regirock at the moment but yeah, why not. (I actually haven't been playing much of the game at all in the last few weeks because I wanted to take a break from shiny hatching and work on other things. I'll go back to it eventually)

  5. Movie/TV recommendations

    tegan replied to ysbreker's topic in Movies & Television

    The Lost World isn't so much a bad movie as it is a nearly equal balance of good movie and bad movie. Also, when I was working at Blockbuster, it was kind of a beloved film among some of the staff for the scene where a Blockbuster gets destroyed during the San Diego bit.

  7. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    tegan replied to tegan's topic in Video Gaming

    Hey, if you haven't gotten one through Streetpass yet (or if you're like me and you stupidly reset your game after receiving one through Streetpass), the Eon Ticket is available as a Mystery Gift until Monday. You just need to enter a code: "2015LATIOSLATIAS" if you're in North America or "“POKEMON380381″" if you're in Europe. The Eon Ticket allows you access to the Southern Island, where you can catch Latias in Omega Ruby or Latios in Alpha Sapphire. They're confirmed to NOT be shiny locked like their sibling in the story mode, so you can soft-reset for a shiny one if you're some kind of masochist.

    I have natural long, wavy hair, but I might change it up at some point. Undercuts are hot.

  11. Let's Draw Video Games

    tegan replied to tegan's topic in Idle Banter

    I did a t-shirt design for a tabletop gaming club as a more expensive commission. I feel like there's a few things I would have put more time into if I had been getting paid more, but I'm really pleased with the overall look.

    ahahaha I just led with Shuckle against someone else and they immediately disconnected before the fight even started it's like Mario Kart you see that blue shell and you're like "fuck it, I'm out"

    614 is the highest Defense can go. Shell Smash raises my defenses by +.5x every time I use it (so 1.5x, 2.0x, 2.5x, etc), while lowering my offenses and speed in turn. It normally has the opposite effect, but Contrary reverses stat changes. Toxic inflicts a variant of poison that deals exponentially higher percentage-based damage each turn. Infestation deals a tiny amount of damage on its own, but then traps the opponent for a few turns and deals percentage-based damage each turn, kind of like poison (it's usually 1/8 of total HP per turn, but Binding Band raises it to 1/6). Rest self-inflicts sleep for two turns (which overwrites any other status conditions like poison) and fully recovers my HP. I had already beaten another of that guy's legendaries earlier, and at that point in the fight I was at max health and 2.5x defenses while he was suffering from Infestation. Don't fuckle with Shuckle.

    So I've been playing Pokémon online today. This would have been the second one of this person's legendaries to get beaten by my Shuckle. Don't fuckle with Shuckle.
  16. So when do we get to see Campo Santo's "Gex: Origins"? Also, it bugs the shit out of me that Gex wears human sunglasses whose lenses don't even sit anywhere near his bulbous cartoon lizard eyes.
  17. I realized that it's basically going to be Mario Party with dragons and decided "okay, I'm fine with this."
  18. I tracked that special down a while back to rewatch it and man does it not hold up. The CG is terrible and some of the ideas (particularly the landsquid) are pretty scientifically unsound.

    tegan replied to gdf's topic in Idle Banter

    I'm constantly worried about money and on top of that I'm going through some really lousy stressful shit that I can't talk about. And I'm super bummed about a Christmas-related thing even though it's February. I kind of hate myself right now.
  20. It's weird seeing the little bits of Japanese culture that creep into Nintendo. The classic example is the Tanooki leaf, but the weirdest one for me is the two Pokémon that make up a Japanese comedy routine.
  21. Because Gargoyles and 90s TV themes were both brought up: I secretly hope that if we ever get a Saints Row V, it takes advantage of both the time travel set up by the ending of SRIV and Keith David being a member of the Saints and finds some opportunity for him to say "1000 years ago... superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness... it was a world of fear."
  22. I think I like Dan now, I just thought I'd make a joke in the thread title about how every GB discussion we have inevitably turns into one about Dan.
  24. This is a pretty great episode title.
  25. There's a ton of bombtalk in the "ethics in relocation" and podcast threads. I thought it might be good to pull it all into one place, without the thread necessarily being about Dan specifically like in the letter thread was meant to be. Also:
