Banned because I have no sense of context because this thread is tl;dr.

Fighting-type attacks are not very effective against Ghost-types, even after a Foresight! I know because my Foresight Hitmonlee got walled by a Dusclops.

Good job eating Budew's waste. CIALO

Minccino used Aqua Tail! It's super-effective!

Sona support ily bby <3 First time rushing Rylai's instead of RoA. I was mana-starved until I actually got RoA. Halp pls :c

Hey! I'm glad to see you could at least come out of your shell to say hi. People here are nice, so don't be so self-conscious. We already <3 you. EDIT: The mental image of Mael jamming out to Sara Bareilles made me rofl.

That feel when you step up to jungle because everyone else is a cockmunch and locks in within 5 seconds. That feel when after you start jungling, you ask for a leash from the asshole of an Anivia who proceeds then to STEAL YOUR RED BUFF so you can't do enough damage to kill even the fucking wolves. That feel when you subsequently can't farm and are severely underleveled (lol 8 v 16). That feel when your entire team blames you for the loss despite the fact that they were all feeding anyway and frankly should not have to rely solely on you, a rookie jungler without runes, to win lane.

Turns out I can't make it. Soz, Tony and Light.

Merry birthmas!

Also, prom was a bit ago. Let me dig up a good pic... My friend/date and I. I still need to break up with her because she thinks we're dating or some shit >>

Kiki as in Ukiki from the Mario games c:

Banned because "feed" is an irregular verb in the past tense. It's "fed."

We know based on that damage calc unless Fairy Wind has a base power of 30 (as opposed to 60-65), Dark is affected neutrally by Fairy-type because the move was not 4x super effective. I think Fairy may be super-effective against Ghosts. It makes sense to me, as Ghost also has but two current weaknesses (one being itself).

Pretty solid intro. I'm Jory or Loke (or any of my 2894576 other alts). Enjoy your stay.

Let's give Microsoft a big ol' round of applause after that presentation. After my panning of the original XBox ONE reveal, I have to say that there are things about Microsoft's new console that are extreme amounts of redeeming to me. Let's take this step by step (lol only 2 steps) as I break down some of the most fascinating parts of the XBox ONE press conference. Exclusives First and foremost, let's discuss the exclusives that have been announced thus far. We have a new Halo title in the works, which is no surprise. The visual element of that reveal was incredible, but there was little other information regarding the new Halo game. It was more about Halo: Spartan Assault, the mobile title for Windows 8-compatible tablets and smartphones. But even that had little revealed about it, so let's move past that. Respawn revealed possibly the highlight of E3 so far, Titanfall. With the rise in popularity of vehicle-centric warfare (such as in the Battlefield franchise), it was no surprise to me that someone finally decided to break out the mechs. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how in-depth the controls were as a pilot as opposed to just playing the mech. In fact, I would wager that I will have way more fun just running around and mucking about as a pilot than trying to pilot a mech. The gameplay element was insane. Much of what made me love this title was the mobility offered to pilots in order to offset the raw power of a mech. Anticipation level: 9/10. Trailer will be here later. Project Spark really wow'd me. I really liked the idea of a dynamic world being included in an action format. When that guy was surfing on the land he was building I was actually smiling really broadly. I'm pumped for this exclusive. It seems an awful lot like a response to Little Big Planet, but it really seems much more involved that its Playstation counterpart. As someone who's always loved Halo's Forge mode, this game is going to be an absolute playground for me. I can't wait to see just how much more detailed the worlds can be made. However, it seems a bit SmartGlass-centric to me. I suppose we'll have to wait for more details. Anticipation level: 7.5/10. Trailer here. The Crimson Dragon presentation was a bit lackluster. I found basically nothing interesting about it. Anticipation level: 1.5/10. Forza 5 seems like a crowd pleaser, but I was never really into these games. I'll leave this review to someone else and stick to what I know best. Below was a fun presentation. It has an amazing soundtrack and I'm excited to play it. From an information standpoint, it left a lot to be desired. I was happy to see an indie developer getting a lot of screentime and I look forward to more developers getting published on XBox ONE and really helping to move the gaming industry forward. Anticipation level: 6/10 The Console Itself There's a lot to be said about the XBox ONE, and little of it seems to be positive. I will say one thing: Microsoft has recaptured my attention through today's focus on games. see The transition from Microsoft Points to actual money is a double-edged sword: whereas it increases convenience for customers, it also decreases gifting potential, something that all LoL players are familiar with. I'm beginning to realize that the check-in really isn't that poor of an option, especially considering today's abundance of multiplayer games that you'll need to be connected to the internet to play anyway. What Microsoft really seems to be doing is drawing the multiplayer crowd rather than the singleplayer crowd, a strategy that has only been tried in reverse by Nintendo. Yeah, that ended well. Anyway, I'd like to step back and leave on a positive note here. I've already trashed the ONE enough recently. Conclusion Microsoft really saved their own asses by focusing on games instead of the console. With a great new lineup of exclusives coming out in addition to multi-platform games such as CoD: Ghosts and Battlefield 4, the future doesn't look nearly as dim for the XBox ONE as it did yesterday.

Banned because the whale is a lie.

"Hey, Jory! Come give educated input about E3!" Okay, I guess I can do that... Microsoft Well, first of all I can say as a huge Microsoft fanboy that the XBox ONE flopped so hard at its reveal that it would have won the belly flop contest at the local swimming pool. Check in once every 24 hours? Thanks for alienating the people whose internet connections are spotty as all hell, Microsoft. Really appreciate that one. Installing all my content? Yeah, you're gonna need to release a 1TB HDD for that one (at least). No backwards compatibility? Fuck you, Microsoft. Do you know how much money I dumped into your games? By my most basic of calculations, I've spent over $2000 on games alone. That doesn't include peripherals. Now you're telling me that I have to keep my 360 and that I can't trade it in to get any money back on my new XBox? Why don't you just sell your company to Donald Trump? It's a much faster way of going out of business. PS4 Holy hell Sony, when did you turn into Robin Hood? You really hit the mark with your new system. Add that in with (unconfirmed) free online and you've got yourself a console that will FLY off the rack. I don't need voice commands to immerse myself in every Infamous game since the first came out. Backwards compatibility really excites me on this console, particularly because I've been absolutely dying to play the Infamous and God of War franchises. The earlier reveal date was the right move on their part, because this thing makes XBox ONE look like a goddamn toaster oven (no offense to toaster ovens intended). All Microsoft has over Sony now is the Halo franchise, which is a pretty dicey thing to lay your future as a game developer on. I'm pumped to hear what Naughty Dog has to say, as they've traditionally released amazing games. Nintendo I'm not well-versed in the ways of the Wii U, but cross-platform SSB sounds amazing. I'm looking forward to some of the 3DS announcements, as I'd never played Fire Emblem before (and still haven't) and so haven't been a part of the Fire Emblem frenzy. Honestly, I'm reluctant to pay attention to Pokemon news lately because I want to approach the games with the same childlike wonder that I did my first game, Pokemon Blue Version. I want to be immersed in things that I haven't seen yet. What to expect? 1. We can expect a big showing from EA this year with a new Dragon Age title and Battlefield 4 nearly done with production. 2. I'd keep my expectations low as far as XBox exclusives are concerned, especially considering the unlikelihood of someone actually choosing to get an XBox ONE over a PS4. 3. We can expect some new Destiny news from Bungie, as they aren't usually quiet at E3 with a bun in the oven. I'm super-pumped for Destiny personally, so I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. 4. Pokemon X/Y news is a given at this point. Probably a couple of new 'mons as well as a new feature (LAN tourneys?). 5. On the PS4 side, we know that we're getting a closer look at Infamous: Second Son, which should be interesting. I was a little disappointed by the GI cover story, but we'll keep watching for good news. 6. Battlefield 4 looks like 3 but with more Michael Bay. WANT. Hopefully we'll see a better co-op function in this game or the scrapping of it altogether. 7. Half-Lif3. I'm just kidding. We're never getting Half-Lif3 8. Bethesda will most likely be there with the latest information regarding The Elder Scrolls: Online. 9. Thief series is being rebooted. Having never played the originals, I'm less opinionated than most but I'm optimistic about it from what I read in GI. That's my opinion on this year's E3 and its background. I don't think it's going to flop like last year, but neither do we have anything stellar from Microsoft yet. I neglected to mention CoD: Ghosts because a.) I lost all faith in the series with MW3 b.) It's already been done to death in this thread. I'd like to hear some thoughts on the possibility of Microsoft releasing amazing news, such as an exclusive rivaling the quality of the Infamous, Halo, and God of War franchises.

I'm gonna lose but why not? ING: EpicPossum Host is the gracious and lovely Palutena <3

Nice c:

After beating down on several more trainers along the sea on the way to Fuchsia City, my Pokemon seem to be rather tired. I make a visit to the local Pokemon Center, where I find Benjamin. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3 months ago Mt. Moon ------------------------------------------------------------ The cave lights up sporadically to the din of a battle going on somewhere in the cave. The sickening sound of bones crunching against a rock wall echoes throughout the cavern as the battle grinds to a halt. "Crocus, you've done well. Return." A red light illuminates the face of a 17-year-old Pokemon Trainer clad in an orange shallow v-neck tee and jeans. He picks up his backpack, then moves across the space toward a beaten and bloodied-looking man in black. "Team what?" the Trainer asks threateningly. A cough and a splutter follow, immediately preceding the sound of spit on the floor. "T-Team Rocket... We t-take people's Pokemon and sell them for profit..." the Grunt answers weakly. "You're sure it's 'Rocket?'" "Y-yes! It's what the 'R' stands for!" the Grunt says, gesturing to his blood-soaked shirt. "You disgust me. I should leave you here to rot," comes the menacing reply. Another red light fills the cave as an Oddish in a straw field hat with a katana strapped to her side and a 9mm pistol in a holster appears next to the trainer. "I should have Ms. Bushido take care of you right now. But I won't. Because I want you to take a message to the sick bastard who's leading you." "Wh-what message?" An image of a man playing with a child in an orange shirt flashes through the Trainer's mind. "I'm coming for him." Footsteps echo down the passageway and stop next to the Pokemon Trainer. "So, loser, you finally found them? Have fun trying to get revenge without him. Smell ya later!" "Yeah. Good to see you too, Benjamin." ------------------------------------------------------------ Present Day Fuchsia City- Pokemon Center ------------------------------------------------------------ I turned away quickly before he could see me. In an attempt to make myself indistinguishable from the crowd, I shoved my way into line. "Hey, watch it, buddy!" "No cuts, man!" "I've been waiting here for... like... 16 days, bro!" I say nothing to these people. They have no idea what I've been through this past month. Not a clue as to who I've lost and why I'm still going. It started because of one man. But now it's also for them. Those I've lost along the way. Those who've helped me to accomplish my goal without asking anything in return except my friendship. And what did I give them? I led them blindly to their deaths without looking in front of me. Ms. Bushido and Doryuzu were casualties. But Tiffany was a wake-up call. Now that bastard... that nameless bastard... He's all I have left. Once I'm done with him, my purpose will have been achieved. That single entity at the head of all this trouble. He's escaped me once, that much I know. All I have is a first name. Just a single name behind an entire organization. One word that has changed the entire course of my being. I need to-- "Hey, Jacob. You've got something on your nose from kissing Gramps's ass all the time!" Goddammit, Benjamin. Not now. Not here. "I said, 'Hey Jacob.' What, are you deaf as well as weak now?" Benjamin strides over to me and slaps me on the back. "How's that search going for the guy? You know... uh... Jimmy... Johnny... Jeffrey?" I take a deep breath and close my eyes, then turn to face Benjamin. I open my eyes. "Giovanni," I say quietly. "His name is Giovanni." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Xerxes (Nidoking)- lvl 36 Shock Wave Water Pulse Mega Punch Double Kick Crocus (Venusaur)- lvl 35 Tackle Sleep Powder Leech Seed Razor Leaf Spookshire (Haunter)- lvl 36 Shadow Punch Confuse Ray Dream Eater Psychic Robin (Fearow)- lvl 36 Aerial Ace Return Pursuit Fly Joule (Jolteon)- lvl 36 Thunderbolt Quick Attack Pin Missile Double Kick Valkyrie (Vileplume)- lvl 36 Acid Giga Drain Cut Stun Spore
