I hate to ask this here, but I've been having some pretty severe money troubles lately. If anyone wants to throw a few dollars my way, it'd be much appreciated. My Paypal is teganrobichaud at gmail.com (the name on the account is the name of the relative who set it up for me, but I assure you it's mine). Thanks.

I'm actually breeding another one now, because this one is sadly terrible. It has perfect stats except for its Special Defense, which is as bad as it could possibly be.

I was thinking Persona 4 Golden. It's a good rainy day game.

Also, there's totally been a female professor in the Pokémon games. (note that the Metroid in front has the body of a Minccino, which is the Pokémon that Professor Juniper shows off during her prerequisite "welcome to the world of Pokémon" speech at the start of the game)

It feels like it's about the right time for it, to be honest. Miyazaki and Takahata are 73 and 79 now, and there's never been a whole lot of young talent coming out of that studio. Alternatively, remember that Miyazaki's declared himself to be "retired" something like eight times now, so I imagine if Ghibli closes he'll just start up a new pet project studio a few months later when he gets bored of retirement again.

I can tell this is gonna' be a good week.

Personally I associate the games with this:

It's a nod to that KC Green drawing of Luke and Layton that Shammack had as his avatar forever.

Personally my biggest problem with Siri was always that she didn't have enormous naked breasts.

The first two episodes of the new season of Gravity Falls were both fantastic. There's some stuff in there that I'm surprised that they were allowed to get away with in a Disney cartoon, too.

I love making stupid drawings on Miiverse.

Ducktales starts really strong but a pretty massive chunk of the show is kind of sort of crappy.

"Brony" has long since bypassed its original meaning and become an entirely seperate, horrible thing.

All of those CG-animated Sony movies look pretty terrible.

Pretty good in my experience. He did a series called Pluto that took a classic Astro Boy story and reimagined it as a detective story. It's only eight volumes long and it's been published in English, so it makes a good jumping off point.

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS Her HP IV is either a 29 or a 30, everything else is a perfect 31. Impish nature with Sturdy. I couldn't ask for better. I maxed out her Defense and Special Defense EVs and dumped the rest into HP, with the eventual goal of using her as Mega Aggron, which is virtually indestructible.

New episodes of Gravity Falls, the secret best show on TV, start August 1st!

Pokémon. (semi-serious answer: I love multiplayer games that hinge on LACK of direct communication like Journey or Transformice)

Does Velvet Sundown have the ridiculous text to speech modifiers that Moonbase Alpha has?

I don't think I could ever play Velvet Sundown, because my brain would be blaring the Super Mario 2 music at all times while playing. ...This post was also going to contain Pony Thread simulator, but my better judgement got in the way.
