Dear internet,

Shut the fuck up about "why so serious?" already.

~Flak

So guys, I'm coming up on 25% completion of the Pokedex (I updated my user page today).
I still have a good number of Pokemon on my Diamond cartridge I need to trade over as well.

How are things going for all of you in the world of Pokemon or otherwise?
In my side-game, Real Life, I took the SAT today. That alone gave me 6+ hours of play time. :D

Because our entire government is just the president.

Ugh, another The Dark Knight topic.

I think the hardest boss in the game was Zant, which is pretty sad.
Because he's the only one where I had to be awake to beat, he gets my vote.

His erratic behavior and quirky demeanor make me enjoy his character all the more.

Decided I hate that other one, got a much prettier one and a new theme as well.

Full size.

"satire" seems to be a combination of the words "satan" and "ire"

So I got this new wallpaper, you see.
What do you think?

And here's a TL;DR version of the game play for people who don't want to bother going to that link/reading the article:

Dissidia is an action-based fighting game mixed with RPG elements. The battles in Dissidia are divided into stages, each taking place on its own checkerboard-like map. Characters will be moved around like pawns on the board, able to pick up equipment and potions on the map and fight whenever they stop adjacent to an enemy pawn.

I just hope it looks good, considering the wildly different artistic styles present between installments in the series. I've seen the most recent incarnation of Chaos, and I honestly like the Dawn of Souls version better. But I'm sure he will look different in-game than his official artwork.

I'm also hoping they don't overkill it with Final Fantasy VII stuff. That game is way overrated, I'd like for them to keep it about even for each of the games represented. Though it'd make sense for them to heavily include FFVII, considering all the expansion that game has gotten.

Excellent job providing information on your topic, as well as spelling it correctly.

Dissidia -Final Fantasy-

This is a story long steeped in Final Fantasy, a history of conflicting opinions. Originally, the goddess of harmony, Cosmos, and the dark god Chaos were both equal in power. However, the forces of evil have threatened that balance. The most infamous villains of the Final Fantasy series have united under Chaos to take control of the crystals. If they succeed, they will have the power to change their fates and plunge the Final Fantasy universe into eternal darkness. To prevent this from happening, Cosmos has summoned ten warriors to protect the crystals. Each warrior must once again face their greatest foes in the ultimate showdown. Now, a new battle begins...

Sounds like it will be interesting, to say the least. If I ever decide to pick up my PSP again, I may get it when it comes out.

Oh hey guys, guess who got a Celebi in exchange for a shiny Eevee.

Days of Ruin was fun, but my god was it hard.

Harder than Black Hole Rising (final level of BHR was insane).

That list should be more helpful than I am.

The only DS fighting game that instantly comes to mind is that Guilty Gear game they released.
But it was complete crap, don't waste your money on it.

Why are your characters in RPGs always so weak that they have to gang up on enemies 4+ at a time?

I love the mega mushroom, and I hate the saving.
It only lets me save after beating a castle (mid-castle or end castle), and doesn't seem to have any sort of quick save feature, unless I'm retarded and can't find it.

Final Fantasy IV.

Followed by V, and VI.

I detest VII.

B. I believe in science.

Hey guys, the remake of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness for DS came out today.

Man it's cool.

I forgot to add that this also requires that you own the Japanese bonus disc.

GameFreak did not make that one easy, eh?

Celebi is considered to be the single rarest Pokemon currently released, with only two legal methods to obtain it being available (the previous, and having a Japanese Crystal version and using the Mobile trade system).

Also, you're on GMT+10, I'm at GMT-5. That is going to be hellish to find a time when we're both on (considering I can't stay up that late on a school night).

I'm putting my Shaymin up for trade, I want a Celebi. :)

My friend traded me her legitimate movie Shaymin.
And I'm probably going to start up collecting again. :)

Bulbapedia is down a lot. It's a good source of information, though.
And the Pokedex has been put on hold for a while, school's gotten back into full swing, and I just haven't had the time to work on it as much.

Timid does not effect special attack at all. :)

This cinematic was so beautiful.
Blizzard is amazing at those.

iTunes is only difficult to work with if you have a mental deficiency.

And you can basically smoke, drink, drive legally, kill a man and go straight to prison and be able to sign yourself out of school without your parents signature.

If you're 19 and still in school where you need to sign out, you should be staying as much as possible, anyway.

19 is seriously still a kid as far as I'm concerned. You can drive legally at 16 here, and you can't drink until you're 21. Not that any of that has to do with how far developed you are. Someone who isn't mature is still a child to me, regardless of their age.

Argue all you want, whatever privileges or rights you have do not govern your definition as an 'adult' to me.

19 is still a "kid" anyway.
