  1. An email I sent to Giantbomb

    Hey, if there are any other premium subscribers besides Miffy and I on here, you should give Danswers a listen. Dan is way more tolerable when you're reminded that he's actually a pretty cool guy when it comes to shit that's more important than beer and wrestling. It's very humanizing and I'm glad he started it.
  2. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    The Majora's Mask messenger bag, definitely. I still use my Starman messenger bag every day. It's really nice.
  3. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    Oh, one more thing: don't worry about getting a perfect Attack stat on a Special Attacker like Mareep. A 0 is actually the ideal since damage caused by confusion or an opponent using Foul Play is calculated using it I'm breeding Larvetas right now using a 0 Attack parent for just that reason. It's not a big deal if you get it higher than 0, just don't worry too much about making it perfect.
  4. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    Protip: start with a parent from the Friend Safari. They don't have Mareep there, but any compatible male will do. Friend Safari Pokémon always have 3 perfect IVs. You'll eventually want to make sure you have the Destiny Knot and the Everstone so to simplify passing down IVs and natures. You'll always pass down three IVs by default or five with the Destiny Knot. Just keep checking the hatchlings with the IV Judge and trade up when you get an offspring that outclasses its parent.

    "I know you know it's fake, I just wish you knew it's stupid."

    I think the most refreshing part of the latest Mario Party Party was how, as time wore on and everyone got less patient, Brad eventually just snapped and called Dan out for constantly using wrestling analogies that nobody understands or cares about.
  8. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    I like this new thread title. Can we tag this thread "curved edges"? Also, Twig, as someone who pretty much cleared both games, Super Mario 3D World gets balls-hard. You're right that the weird slow, almost digital movement feels very different from Galaxy; but I think it's better suited to 3D World's very geometric and precise environments. I still prefer the movement in Mario 64 to both of them, though. I replay that game occasionally and it's still second nature to me.
  9. Movie/TV recommendations

  10. Life

    Oh hey, I know that piece! The part of the sequence that's embedded in concrete is still moving, it's just that the it'll take something like 13 billion years to make a rotation. I always liked that.
  11. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    Wheeeeee. You want one? I want to keep most of them, but I can spare one or two.
  12. I am irrationally angry at the fact that htoL#NiQ is keeping its terrible name for its English release. It's barely legible even in Japanese, and The Firefly Diary is a way better title anyway.
  13. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    To be fair, she doesn't look like that anymore.
  14. Social Justice

    This Chrome extension replaces the word "SJW" with the word "skeleton" and I cannot recommend it enough.
  15. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    Final tally: 10662 eggs, 356 boxes, 27 days, something like 200 hours of in-game time. Thank fuck that's behind me.
  16. Manga Thread of Reading Comics Backwards

    DMP is doing yet another Kickstarter, this time to translate Alabaster. Alabaster was the thing I wanted most out of their huge mega-kickstarter, so I'm really happy about that. I also think this is the only Tezuka manga with a black protagonist (in a manner of speaking. he's translucent for most of it), so that could be interesting, historically.
  17. It's weird how movies went from getting everything unintentionally wrong with technology to just not even having the pretense of caring. The Net and Hackers are naive, all of the bullshit produced now with floating blue hologram displays is just willfully ignorant.
  18. The Fanart Collective

    The best part is that this was drawn by Corey Lewis, who is way more likely to think that this is legitimately the most badass thing possible than think it's just riiculous.
  19. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    Male shiny #15 is #10655 overall. Beeeeeees.
  20. I Had A Random Thought...

    I've been wondering about similar things for a while, especially since I started seeing psychiatrists. I get asked a lot about what I think about when I can't fall asleep, and I never know what to answer because it's a constant stream of consciousness that varies from "what is the nature of mankind" to "how am I going to get out of debt" to "mole rats are the only eusocial mammal."
  21. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    Reckless Emboar is live! Enter code "POKEMON500" on the Mystery Gift menu to receive it. Reckless increses the damage dealt by moves with recoil damage by 20%, which is ideal for Emboar given its naturally high HP and Attack and access to an excellent pool of recoil moves (namely Flare Blitz, Head Smash, and Wild Charge).
  22. An email I sent to Giantbomb

    I drew a thing during Mario Party Party 3. This picture is only a few hours old and it is by far the most popular thing on my tumblr.
  23. Which old video game would you guys say was so influential on the making of games that it remains relevant to this day? The Citizen Kane of games, if you will.
  24. wii-U or Xbox one, for my um 5 year old

    Have you considered a handheld? The 2DS is pretty kid-friendly and kids fucking looooove Pokémon.
