Yeah, you're probably right.
Still, it would be cool for Sony to win once. Not maybe win over Nintendo, but atleast make a portable console that is succeful.
Oh well, atleast, we have still Nintendo for that.
Once the Vita is more moddable it'll probably go up in value.

At least for me.

If tommorow, I am able to go town if I am not too lazy. I might be able to buy:
-Resident Evil 0 HD
-Resident Evil 1 HD
-Resident Evil: Code Veronica X
and finally
- Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition.
For the total of 35.70 CHF.
Yeah, sound good to me.

Decided to try Yo-Kai's Watch 2's online battle for the first time.

Surprised I won without losing a single party member (and to be honest, I didn't put any real effort on making the team).
Guess your Jibanyan has good IV- oh wait.

Annie is also my favorite of the traitor trio for similar reasons you mentioned. I also grew to like her more when we see her again in the current arc where it was revealed that the traitor trio was responsible for Marco's death. She was the only one that called out Reiner and Bertolt for pinning down Marco. While she was ultimately manipulated into helping them when Reiner brought up her father and reminded her of her mission, you can tell that she didn't enjoy delivering the act at all, as she was bawling her eyes out watching Marco get eaten (this event was also what led to her going around and apologizing to the dead bodies with a traumatized look on her face). This and the way her father is brought up during that scene once again puts her in a sympathetic light. I'm looking forward to seeing her break out from that crystal, and something tells me she is the most likely of the Warriors to join the Survey Corps because of how she sympathizes with the wall people.

And I remember Kitz Weiman pretty well. Yeah, I didn't like that guy either. The dude is so paranoid that he lets his fear cloud his judgment, and he almost got Eren, Mikasa, and Armin killed.
Yes...all of that bolded part...just, yes.

THAT is why I love Annie. You put it better than I did. Yes, she's a villain, but she isn't a despicable person. She still has humanity in her, and even during all her deeds, she still hates the senseless deaths.

And I certainly hope she breaks out of that crystal and joins the wall people. Heck, if she became a hero, I would like her even more, and she'd sit at the very top, above Hanji. If she never breaks out of that crystal...I will be very disappointed.

  • farming pokemon XP to level up my team w/o grinding battles
  • farming Precious Stones so I have enough of things like Ice Stone ect.
  • doing the QR Scan / Island Scan thing.
  • Breeding certain Pokemon. (not hatching anything just hoarding atm XD)

Is that that one Trigger anime I keep hearing about? Because if so, I might need to add it to my list
Me: "Man, my to watch list is already big enough as it is, I shouldn't be putting more stuff into it"
Inner me: "It's Trigger, just add it"

There's nothing bug about spiders either
it is by trigger and i say its worth a watch it seems to be one of those anime that ranges from ok to really good depending on who you ask. i think its about a good about a 6.5 but 7

I can't see any reason why Sony would hop back into the Portable console market after the Vita. They'd probably sooner make games for mobile.
Who knows. They might still consider it worth a try. It could be a learning experience for them.

That said, Vita's specs might have made sense now, for a 9th generation handheld, so I have no idea in which direction Nintendo or Sony would head for a handheld.


Switch might be £245 in the UK.

That's roughly €280 for me. Which means it will likely actually be €300, which is the most reasonable price I could see it being.
If that's the price, looks like it will be ₹28000 here (~US$400) factoring in taxes and all. Hmm, we shall see.

Watching YoI now makes me realise how stupid I was
Stupid for not watching this while it was airing.
The music, animation, characters and ****ing episode 7 especially are all great and I love it.
Never before did I think I would enjoy watching 2D men in tight bodysuits dancing and jumping in solid water as much as I am with this anime.
Glad you like it~ Now I have someone to talk to about it

I'm of the opinion that Nintendo will stop making separate handhelds, and the format of the Switch will just be how it is going forward. Have all of their dev teams on one system.

If the Switch is particularly successful, I could see Sony doing the same.

I had paid $300 for my Smash 3DS XL. >_> I know what it feels like.

Though I finally was able to get a number of games for it, so I don't regret it.
I think the 3DS was $199 for me and having paid $200+ for a wii u was to much. Im not forking over $300

I have faith that she will break out of the crystal at some point. She still seems mysterious enough not to be simply forgotten, especially when the manga's conclusion is getting closer. If she won't break out of the crystal herself, something tells me the SC will find a way to break her free. Perhaps breaking this stone might be a currently unknown power from the Coordinate? Only time will tell.

Maybe there should be like a "Dust" type in Pokemon.It would be like errr idk. Its really hard to think of new types that don't already kinda exist.....

Maybe diff form of Fire since Water has Ice....Lava? Hazmat Fire? Got that from Simcity lol and Alola Marowak already has colourful flames since it's Ghost Fire.

Plasma Type might be interesting but that wouldn't exactly exist on Earth right lol.
Maybe Light type can still exist even with Fairy being a thing but unlikely imo.

Wait...how many more chapters does the manga have? The writer just recently finished chapter 89, right? How many chapters are planned for the series?

Light could definitely work: It wouldn't be weirder as Ground and Rock coexisting or Water and Ice

One nice sort of test if you're wondering if a console is worth it, console-wise, is to see if the system costs more than the games you want to buy for the system. If you're not confident you'll spend more on the games than on the system itself, it might be better to wait to buy the system until you are.

Like for me, assuming it's a 300 dollar system and the games are 50-60 bucks, I'd need to have five to six games I'd plan on getting. Already I can say I'm definitely getting the 3D Mario, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, a Smash port assuming it has added characters, Stars if it expands enough on Sun and Moon, and probably Breath of the Wild. And considering all of those are likely to be either launch, first year, or first two year titles, there'll probably be more that'll interest me down the line. In that regard, I think the Switch, for me, is a good investment.


Of course it varies from person to person but still.

A Sound type might work.

Jigglypuff could be Sound/Fairy for example. While Exploud would be a pure Sound type.

If rock and ground can both exist, light and fairy can totally exist.

Hell dark and ghost both exist too.

Not every pokemon that could be part sound would become part sound. Hell there were a bunch of fairyesque pokemon that never got the fairy type added.

for me it has nothing to do with "are the games worth it" and more "Will I benifit more from getting this or paying for school things"

I normaly opt out of buying myself anything because of college

Isayama mentioned in a interview back in late 2014 that the manga would last for roughly 3 more years, which would mean a rough estimate for the manga's end would be anywhere between volumes 26-27 and sometime in 2018 to early 2019 at this rate.

I keep being thrown off that Chansey's line isn't at least part fairy when they're as fitting as Togepi

I might be a bit late to the pricing talk, but $250-$300 with two dfferent SKUs is the maximum I see them charging for the system, and after reading something about Europe factoring sales tax into their prices right off the bat I'm not counting out $200-$250 in the US like most people because I don't count out the possibility that the leakers messed up during conversion due to that being math and not an actual leak.

Nintendo admitted the Wii U was overpriced and expressed regrets. No matter what they charge for the Switch, they're not charging an identical price for the Switch, and if they're dedicated and crazy enough about it they may try to dodge the price of both Wii U SKUs rather than just the one everyone bought.

FINALLY! My Salandit finally evolve.
God, it was long. Tough, not as long or hard as trying to evolve a Alola Meowth.

The problem with Sound type is that there all of the Sound-based moves are normals with two exceptions I can think of(Sparkling Aria and Disarming Voice) so you'd be taking out a bunch of STABs from Pokemon who don't have better options(becahse Hyper Voice is the only reliable special normal move) and screwing the ones that wouldn't be retyped because the category "Sound" would be pointless(and thus making stuff like SA not go through Subs and hitting Soundproof Pokemon).

Also, there isn't really a balance needed to justify adding another type because that's the only reason types were ever added after Gen 1 but that's a story for another day. The only types that really need a nerf are Ghost and Dragon, because of only one thing resisting them outside of immunities, and Fairy, because it's probably the best typing for spammable STAB and defensive matchups combined.
Seriously, the Fighting/Ghost coverage is ridiculous and now we have a freaking legendary with those STABs! You can also do Ghost/Fairy and the only thing that can resist that is Pyroar. PYROAR!

Meanwhile, Bug is resisted by 7 types, Psychic has two resistances, Dark is made completely pointless with Ghost and Ice has one resistance. To itself.

And this can all be solved just by reworking the type matchups without clearly making Fairy overpowered to incentivate its use. It already is immune to Dragon and Fighting with the two literally most useless weaknesses, it doesn't need much more than that.
If rock and ground can both exist, light and fairy can totally exist.

Hell dark and ghost both exist too.
Rock is more about stones and minerals while Ground is about sand and the ground we step on.
Ghost is literally just ghosts with its attacks being the "Casting a Shadow" type of moves while Dark is more about the night itself and combat pragmatism that's considered "dirty".
