Most of my PS2 library
I've only played up to the museum level on Uncharted 2
I got bored during Gears of War 1's opening level and quit
Halo Anniversary was boring
CoD Ghosts nearly made me fall asleep
Whenever I try playing Majoras Mask I lose interest around the Goron place

And many more

I've gotten messages from desticles asking to have my account info just for the stupid emblem in Destiny. "hurr I want to continue your legacy durr". What a bunch of horseshit.

I didn't realize that was you

I am bad with keeping up with names
It's not like it matters all that much. The last couple of years on the site I only posted in Coup, and drama aside not much really happened.

Except for the birth of Verb's favorite international holiday, Furry July, of course.

I really miss the coup group :(

I don't even remember Challenger from back then


I remember Das from Coup, Gaara from around the forums and Jono because he mis-spelled the word 'hundred' in his name

I for one enjoyed BvS but haven't been able to see SS yet. Although anyone shitting on the Justice League over one trailer is literally a MarvelFag upset that the movie isn't a SitCom with super heroes and some fighting in between jokes and exposition.

I don't like Batman's new cowl


Everything else looks cool except the cowl

I don't feel like sitting through 70+ episodes of catchup so I'll probably just watch the scenes like the Hit fight on Youtube

Verb is lurking and sent me this.

All right, feel free to share this PM in the thread to spread the knowledge:

It's a common misconception that they lie, but actually, as it turns out, badges do raise your stats in earlier generations. It just works in a really weird and esoteric fashion that's never really explained or noticed in the game. Naturally, they only work in single player battles (ie. not link battles), and they boost their corresponding stat by 12.5%.

Brock's badge boosts Attack, and Blaine's badge boosts Special, but Surge and Koga lie to you--they both say that their badges increase Speed and Defense, respectively, but due to a bug, they got each other mixed up. So, Surge's badge boosts Defense and Koga's badge boosts Speed.

Here's where it gets weird: In Gen I specifically, the badge boosts are re-applied for every time your Pokémon's stats are raised or lowered. This is considered a bug, because it doesn't happen at all in Gen II onward. So, if you have all the stat-boosting badges, and your Pokémon gets hit by an attack like Screech, every badge boost you have gets re-applied to your active Pokémon--but I'm not sure if this effect is additive or multiplicative. I assume it's multiplicative--meaning a 12.5% boost becomes a 18.75% boost--but I could be totally wrong.

Either way, this effect also applies when you use X items, like X Speed or X Special, making X items super broken in Gen I. The stacking effect gets reset when your Pokémon levels up, though.

I think badge boosts in general stopped being a thing in Gen IV, so none of this nonsense is present anymore.

Gavin and Stacey was a good show.

Fat cunt should've had a heart attack after the finale, though.

Yeah I liked Gavin and Stacey a lot but I didn't really like Smithy that much. As a Welsh guy I found Stacey's family to be the highlight

DC needs to stop cutting scenes from movies and stop making Ultimate Edition DVDs and Blu Rays. They're treating their movies like EA handles DLCs and Deluxe Edition for games.

I don't think I could sit through a longer Suicide quad tbh

How much do you hate James Corden? I'm fucking sick of hearing him in every single advert.

I'm so glad he's been shipped off to the states, they can keep him. I feel sorry for any of you Americans who might have the misfortune of seeing/hearing him.

it was a legitimate argument after BvS came out. that movie was like a 5/10 maybe 6 with the ultimate edition (RT average ratings seem to agree with me since it sits at 4.9) but everyone acted like it was the single worst superhero movie of all time because it didnt live up to the hype. it was still better than a few marvel films (thor 2, iron man 3, ultron namely)

after BvS people gave up completely on the DC franchise and wrote off Suicide Squad well before it ever premiered (it did turn out to be godawful but the sheer level of prejudice levied against it during the marketing campaign was just bizarre) and the same thing has been happening with Wonder Woman and Justice League

since SS turned out to be such a turd i think it's somewhat more reasonable to keep expectations low but the general vibe of "DC movies suck dick and will never be good" is still a little weird to me

I thought BvS was just OK and I was actually looking forward to Suicide Squad

I'm back to playing Yellow on the VC after a long spurt of gen 6 madness, and boy does it feel like a whole different beast. I have a mental list of things I've noticed that I'm glad they changed, but there's probably stuff that was actually better.
-Pokeballs actually missing the Pokemon when thrown. WTH? I was trying to catch Chansey in Safari and about 5 balls in a row all missed!
-Having to manually change PC boxes, so that you wouldn't be told that you are unable to catch a Pokemon because the box is full. Seriously, so much frustration from this!
-Having to select HMs manually. Okay just a minor one this, but still.
-Do the badges ACTUALLY change your stats?
-Weird selection of TMs. I can't remember all of them from my playthrough but a few of them had me scratching my head.
-On route 21 there's a swimmer trainer that's... actually a Cue Ball! Is Gen 1 the only gen to feature a swimming trainer that isn't actually a swimmer class?
That's just a few of mine, playing Gen 1 after the others feels... weird. In a weird way, heh.
Do you miss any of the early or odd design choices from Gen 1?

Thank god the bag no longer works like it does in Gen 1.

But no the badges don't change your stats, but like in all games (As far as i'm aware of) Badges serve to prevent twinking  in that over-leveled traded Pokemon have a high chance of strait up ignoring you without the proper badge.

 In one playthrough I did of Pearl where an ingame traded chattot grew so fast that it outleveled my currernt badge and screwed me over plenty.

But the gym leaders tell me the badges raise stats


DO THEY LIE

I've really warmed up to the Gen 7 starters, hell even Popplio's line is kind of appealing.They're probably the best set of starters next to Gen 3, appearance wise.

Anyone who did see GB2016 and doesn't post this needs to reevaluate their preference in films. It was an objectively poor movie and deserved all the hate it got plus more with how Sony doubled down on complete political bullshit that was non-existent. Good riddance to the movie and thank God a sequel will not come out. RIPE JUSTICE.

Feminist Ghostbusters
