    Advice

    You forgot the "Boom Sh" right at the front of your name. You should save up some $R and fix it. =P
  2. Wanted: Bishop, Queen, and King chess pieces in AC New Leaf. I've got the Knight, the Rook, and the Pawn (and silver items) in return.

      I will complete the set. And then when I have enough ore, I will have a Gold vs Silver chess set.

      Well played, Inuki.

  6. 9/10 because it reminds me of the time I was mach-punching baby seels to death. Oh, the glory days...

    Banned because that politoed totally does have drizzle fo shizzle.
  9. I finally got a chance to go to the theaters and saw this. It. Was. Epic. The battles were awesome. The drama/storyline fit in really well and didn't drag down the movie. So many throwbacks to anime. So many throwbacks to classic Japanese daikaiju genre (aka Godzilla type stuff for you laymen). Being a fan of both... I frigging loved it. But trust me, you don't have to be a fan of the old stuff to enjoy this one. It ain't your slow mo, guy in a suit stuff your grandpappy used to watch. Notch up another one under the category of movies that were good that Mael totally called beforehand.

      I just have to wait till they sell it at the museum again.

  12. He's just a troll to play against, really. I don't think that many people asked for him, it was just all his popular wario ware titles at the time.
  13. Sure, I play GnW, but no one ever really asked for him. And they kept him in and he was pretty good in Brawl. Fitness Trainer is really the ROB of this SSB. Just out of nowhere but it seems like it totally works. Also... Dry Bowser needs to be a legit skin at least.
  14. 5/10 A bright white hood and cloak kinda totally stands out, especially on a penguin. Do you even stealth?
  15. Broken heart one would be OP because it would be super fast, super strong, and super mad at everything. Cuz yeah, that's how it works.

    Advice

    You should post in the "What are you listening to?" topic more.
  17. But they're trolls and between Melee and Brawl they were like 'fuck what the fans want we're gonna give you: jiggly-puff, wario, game and watch, rob, dr. mario, another star fox character, and get rid of Mewtwo and Roy' And then they decided to do the unexpected read as troll and add in the fitness trainer. Nintendo don't give a shit what fans want. anybody remember that gen 3 remake? me neither
  18. And new sketch of orotto. Either they changed their minds or more likely this is an evolution for it. Which reminds me... is sudowoodo in need of an evo?
  19. They should replace Rob with Genesect. Probably still have the same laser ability and maybe incorporate some moves like Iron Head and stuff. T'would be fun, but unlikely. To be honest, I really don't care about any of the Soul Caliber or Tekken characters at all. If none were included, I would be okay with that. But they did have that thing in SC2 where they put Link into their game. They probably feel it's time to cash in that on that crossover favor. DO NOT WANT MII'S IN THERE. They're terrible caricatures of people. Go away. Sakurai wants more classic characters in there? Put Boo in there (so we can make hacked textures of Gengar for it). If Wario disappeared, that would be ok by me. They'll probably include lots of gen 5 and maybe even gen 6 pokemon to attack from pokeballs.

    Banned for cruel looking avatar dude. It's the kind of face that makes me want to punch it in. =/
  21. A-a-ron! Are you pre-sent?
  22. Bronzong is bulky. Metagross is a semi-bulky brawler. Kinda want a spc attacker that's steel/psychic now.
  23. Ah, well I think that's were my interest into the subject comes in, from the political and developmental/economic side. And yeah, I can see where sustainability would be a huge asset. It's kind of big issue that ties into global warming, population expansion... And I can really see its relevance in the UK, where countries are small with high populations and packed together, at least relative to the US. Britain and Japan are small, island nations who've had to come to grips with sustainability at lot more quickly than others (and probably helped prompt the expansion of the British Empire and similar excursions into SE Asia). More modern European and definitely Asian cites are built tighter together, but reach higher than they used to, especially considering the grand estates administered by warlords/fiefs. Architecture, zoning, funding, local resources, transportation, imports, foreign relations, pre-existing organization, etc... all that come together into a complex system that will define so much of the area's future. It's actually really exciting to think about conceptually. And all the different aspects to take into account together or to pick apart and focus on within more specific parameters... There's just so much to know, to figure out. My background in biology naturally dips into ecology, which focuses heavily on system's sustainability, disturbances cycles, and stages of recovery. World economics is all about system shifts and balances. And my growing interest in politics these past few years ties into that so much. I've been to Afghanistan, learned basic things about different muslim cultures, and was able to talk to many of them in person. I've seen the climate, the terrain, the villages, the jobs they have, the goods they sell and import. The solar panel electricity that powers the lights in mud and stone homes. I've followed one cultural interest and studied the Japanese culture to an extent as my minor. I've researched North Korea to a small extent. I've been to Costa Rica to study wildlife. I've been to several parts of Mexico and seen what the tourists usually only see and parts that usually only the locals frequent. I've spent a lot of time contemplating reason, morality, religion, and the source and application of authority and power. Even as I was vacationing in California I couldn't help but think of how LA and all those cities completely outgrew and outpaced it's original planning. I see it in every old city's down-town, with their two lane streets, one ways... and general lack of parking. I consider the public transportation systems other countries have adopted. And I'm lazy so when I look at things, I always look for an easier, faster way of doing things if possible. As a soldier, I see the differences in organization and administration between government organizations and commercial/civilian ones. And it all boils down into a desire to change things for the better. To be in a position to influence or directly change the way things are going, change attitudes and approaches by showing another side that hadn't been taken into account yet. And your answer reminded me of all that. So yeah, I think you gave a good answer. It rekindled my interest in the world.
  24. So it's right in between an Associates and a Bachelors, 2 and 4 years respectively. *tries to think of things to ask about geography* What would you say is the main difference(s) between geology and geography? How far into climatology and sociology do they teach you for geography in the regard that geography has a direct impact on both? Cuz now you got me interested in the topic.
