3.25 isn't that bad, you know. I was worried I was going to get a lot lower. What do you usually get? And what's, uhh, dean's list? >.>

How about Ninetails AND Groudon. Ninetales's fire moves get hella strong if groudon sets up the sun. Drop Rayquaza, you already have a dragon.

Despite my good grades now, I doubt Im gonna make this Dean's list thing you guys are talking about. Im probably starting up college with classes you guys might not have even known existed o.O.

Trying to beat Sonic Adventure DX without the lightspeed shoes. So far so good.

Joker: You wanted to know what individual songs people wanted for their part of your crew combo video. I want Prelude 12/21 by A.F.I. for my part.
I like that song ^.^
But I think I'm just going to do a song for the whole vid, I'm using World Of Promises by In Flames for the first one not sure what to use for the second part maybe Korn since Love came with the name for the crew vid "Children Of The Corn" but it's still not late to change if people have a better one, also I'm having Yink help me with the names to show who's clip is it <(^.^<)


It was all a chain of competitive nerd hobbies
yugioh > mtg > paintball > smash
So if we had never gotten around to playing yugioh we may have never ended up smashing it which begs the question of where would the Iowa smash community would be without the mayhem crew. Also we should all go paintballing some time, but I think love is the only one that still has his equipment. rented equipment is so ****
This is very true man now I want to play Yugi again T.T
Also I traded all my paintball stuff for a PSP so like 1000 something dollars for like 200 o.0
Jesus first he sells me a Royal Decree for $500 and then takes my painball stuff FACK. But it's okay I love that guy ^.^


I've already got my Wii hacked, I'm just looking for the ability to save every reply.
Speaking of which I saved a couple of replays on a Wii(the one in the kitchen) I think there's 2 of them of me using C.Falcon so if you could upload them I'll be grateful >.0
Also here's the code for replays

Infinite replay unknown (3 lines)
040E5DE8 60000000
04953184 60000000
04953224 60000000

Shows "Save Replay" IMG


The best is Yugi beating the shit out of Haga (Weavil) in Japanese with Breaker and Berserker Soul. MONSTA CARDO!!!!!
I hated those duel disk cause you couldn't use sleeves with them so I made my own with cardboard, ducktape, a ruler, paper clips, 2 deck boxes, and a Yu Gi Oh paper mat.

So me and my friend when outside and had a duel we where using God cards too for awesomeness it was dark outside and just as I summon Obelisk, thunder started going and the timing couldn't be perfect that was just epic ^.^

I gots a 4.0 for this semester, but stuffs hella easy.

I never actually played Yugioh even though I owned some of the cards. I was always a Magic player. I stopped attending tournaments though due to Magic players being huuuge douches and everything getting more expensive.

Holy F*CKING A$$ man, me and 2 friends just went driving around for an hour and there is a foot of snow, had to push the car up some hills. Wow.
It's just raining here. It's going to freeze soon though. :urg:

FFFF I still need to finish Platinum.

That stuff looked so time consuming. I usually get lucky anyways with my Pokemon getting 31's in the Stat that I want. I don't care if they're Shiny.
Havent tried shinies yet, but it sounds easy but time consuming. RNGing for IVs is only time consuming if your timing sucks. And by timing i mean button mashing.

Dude. You guys should come down here to paintball. A bunch of us have our own equipment and the rental stuff here is decent enough for what you pay.

Watching ep 3 of TTGL...
Episode 1: big robot meanie trying to kill people, through team-work they defeat the mighty creature
Episode 2: two big robots and an even bigger robot meanie trying to kill people (bigger than they've evar seen before :o), by taking control of the big one (ie "powering up") they take down the other two.
Episode 3: even bigger robot than the bigger robot, this time with a laser canon thingy, and the guy was "built to kill" people. Already introducing a dues ex machina.... they combine the robots by, and get this, mashing them together (you actually see the drill from Laggan inside Gurren @.@) and claim victory. The super big meanie robot was rendered completely useless compared to "Gurren Laggan".

I thought you guys said it was different / good. So far I'm just seeing the exact same mech formula that I was talking about earlier ._. they're just getting through it about 10 times faster... lol

Also, typical female role too:
Episode 1: seems useful.... giant rifle looks cool
Episode 2: seems useful, shows limitations... giant rifle stuns, but can't do anything passed that
Episode 3: tries to be useful, but relatively worthless compared to the "real fighting"

*goes to watch episode 4* -_-''

Saying Gurren Lagan is generic because of it's mechs is like saying it's unoriginal because it uses the visible light spectrum.

The show's about manliness and bro-love.

Someone needs to take off their skeptic lens.

It does use the usual adventure formula. The point of the show is it really does just have another teamwork and humans finding their inner-strength theme. However, Gurren Lagann captures and manipulates these elements in a way thats much more wonderful and grandiose then other shows. And honestly, how often can you really say this type of show comes along? If you really look you won't find many.

Also, you're still on the opening. It starts off like any other monster of the day saga, then all hell breaks loose. Don't try to make sense of the combinations and powers, otherwise you'll only dampen the experience because nonsensical things are going to be thrown into your face and blown into epic proportions throughout the show.

Yoko is like 14. Give her time to blossom.

That'd be ironic since most anime and GL is aimed at twelve year olds. but he plays smash which is aimed at five year olds so there is no excuse.

Wait wait wait. Something's wrong.

You've seen Viral, and you didn't make note of how awesome he is? Or ffs at least how bad *** his theme music is? wtf

On another note, nothing outstanding happened yet. It gets better. I remember some of my favorite books, the first 1/4th to 3/4ths I didn't care for ~_~ Hell, Stephen King usually takes a good 100 pages to get to anything interesting (except for Cell, that one just exploded on page like 7 :O!) and I tend to love his books.

Why would you rewatch something. (TTGL would be the obvious choice of those though).

Watch Darker than Black.
Or the Hellsing OVAs (OVA 7 came out yesterday, now to wait like 2 months for someone to sub it :ohwell:).
Sooooo good.

~Fino

I'm only on episode 5 and I pretty much agree with you here :\

For all the hype everyone gives it I haven't seen much reason to hype it yet. Kamina was kind of fun just because I generally like that kind of over the top character. Yoko seems like she only exists so that someone is walking around with boobs on. And I never cared for the Shinji type character that the little brother is. Constantly self-doubting and emo, but once someone is there to yell at them, they find their inner strength and save the day!

Nothing so far that gives me much interest, but it's better than the majority of the mainstream animes. I'll keep watching and waiting for it to become epic.

Yeah exactly. ~_~ It takes time to build up. I had the same opinions as you guys at that point, almost, but sticking with it was a great decision~

There are lots of cliches, if you will, at the start.. but everything changes. Everything happens for a reason. It's one of those shows that's actually thought out and has a deeper meaning, other than being stupid and stereotypical the entire way through. I guess some predictability will remain at points, but as time went on, even that didn't detract from mah viewing pleasure.

Sun chips lady is right, there eventually is some symbolism involved later on. I guess the predictability stems from their usually ridiculous shortcomings compared to the enemy, but really you're better off getting engrossed in its exaggerated style and the consistency of which the characters are developed.

Personally, I don't really know how anybody can walk away after watching the show and describe it to be anything other then intensely likable.

yeah TTGL takes time to get warmed up. After like episode 8 it starts getting goooood.

Also, wow the pokemon league in ruby is no joke. I got to steven and he finally got me with that rock/grass type. my ninetails was too low to beat it. Although, all my pokemon are like 10-20 levels lower than theirs. :(

Any good places i can level up? I'm just killing things in that cave before the pokemon league.
