Watch the Olympics, the Texans Preseason game or NXT Takeover


Choices? Or I can just do nothing and finish Megaman X

First time I saw tracer it was about her butt and it was the most sexually confusing couple of minutes ever

Or.
Y'know.
If being Part Metroid Part Chozo Part Human affected her in more ways than super-human agility, flexibility, and resistance to X-Parasites.
Or with the extra Phazon still left in her since Prime 3

Admittedly, I've given myself a shot at trying to formulate Tracer into the constructs of Smash Bros. The move set's still a work in progress, but I've gotten a few ideas as to what can work to translate her into Smash which could work out.

The first time I saw Tracer was in @Zebei's signature...:p

Also...picked up Federation Force (still no Samus amiibo :c), let's see how this game fairs...already progressed through the tutorial (reeeaally need to get used to those Gyro controls, most of the time I barely use it)

Honestly the only time you use gyro controls (so far) is for shooting bats or things at a sharp angle below you

Oh, squee.

I made a sprite of a Super Sea Snail plush toy and showed it to the maker of that game mod I talked about earlier and they put it in their mod.



For the record, this mod is a beautiful thing.

Fanbase: Genji does need a nerf, I mean not only is he the most OP character in Overwatch, but he's also everywhere, and too fast I hope they fixed this in the next pat-

*PTR patch comes/Makes Genji work as he supposed to*

From what I gathered from training, the gyro assists with hitting moving enemies by leading your shots...that's one thing, also seeing from some gameplay it's required for certain puzzles such as shooting a ball over obstacles and such...as well as possibly taking out several enemies at once by just locking onto one of them and manually aiming at the rest of them...I know it helps in Blast Ball also as you lock onto the ball but you can shoot your opponents...
edit: Also by barely using it, I meant when I need to use it...

Either way, I haven't started campaign just yet, after training I decided to give Blast Ball another try...I still don't really like it that much...perhaps I'm just spoiled with Rocket League as I have played that game a few times at a friend's place...

I just realized I unknowingly picked the gender neutral trainer in Pokémon Uranium (and doesn't help I gave the name "Sammy"). I just picked the trainer that looked the coolest and what she (I think it's a she) looks like in terms of name.

I was confused why it gave me 3 choices to begin with.

Rats. I planned to tell everyone about the wonderful new Humble Bundle, but Swamp already did a few pages ago! Well, I'll still plug it anyway; it's a good deal in my honest opinion. For the low price of $10, you get:

Lethal League: A unique platform fighter/dodgeball hybrid. Play as bizarre characters and smash a ball at ludicrous speeds in the hopes of smashing your foes' faces in.

The Beginner's Guide: A narrative based game from the creator of The Stanley Parable. I don't know much about it.

Galak-Z: A top-down animesque shooter. Apparently features an endless mode and a roguelike mode. Again, not familiar with it personally.

Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime: A couch co-op based shooter. Control a spacenaut and manually aim your guns at foes. You can also play with an AI pet rather than a human copilot. Supports up to four players.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch: A lovely game about a normal human father and his family. Help Dad perform chores and spend time with his family in a heavily physics based game with a unique control system.

SUPER TIME FORCE ULTRA: An action platformer that involves time travel. Apparently you can jump back to help yourself in a form of self co-op. New to me.

Nuclear Throne: An action packed, real time roguelike with an emphasis on unique character traits. Play as one of many mutated weirdos and blast your way through a postapocalyptic wasteland. This is why I'm buying the bundle. It looks like an amazing game.

...And at least one more game to be revealed soon. Check it out!

Who knows? :3
And the winner of the shoot-out in the Brazil-Germany football match is......
BRAZIL! It appears that they got back at Germany from a few years back. Looks like they earned this victory.

I imagine you'll be curious about this, Professor Pumpkaboo Professor Pumpkaboo .

And people are screaming LEAK CONFIRMED!!! when that Meowth has apparently been in the servers for months now.

And Gigareki being a Steam game and all.
And if it's the same one as from the hack, the O.T. is different from the leak.

I mean, I know Gigareki blows it out of the water in terms of it being obviously fake but before I knew that part it was the different O.T.s that seemed off and it does poke another hole in it.

Coincidentally, another text rumor is gaining traction because it said Gigareki was never gonna be related to Pokemon. (it popped up on August 14)

  • There's a monkey who has a baseball mitt (nothing to do with rugby) and three more Pokemon. Two of which are in the same line, both Electric/Dark. It's some electric eel with a giant hook on its belly. It looks like the hook spins around or drops down like a fishing hook. The evolution is a larger version with an anchor instead of a hook. The third is a Steel/Bug and it's basically a giant conch shell with spikes around the perimeter of the body, as if it'd roll on the ground.
  • Rockruff has two evolutions depending on if it's night or day.
  • Guzma offers you to work with him near the end of the game. You can buy Team Skull cosmetic items.
  • The starters do not have split-evolutions.
  • Rowlet's middle evolution is basically a shorter version of the final evolution, but the bow tie is long.
  • Hau has Krabby in his team.
  • Plumeria used a Litten while Lillie declines to take a Pokemon.
  • Lillie has a Zygarde Core in her bag.
  • You can buy Mega Stones (which work in the Z-Ring) in a shop that opens up once you beat the game. You can Mega Evolve Alolan Alakazam, which is pure Fighting.
  • Lunala is #822.
  • Pyukumuku doesn't evolve while Cutiefly does.
  • Gigareki has nothing to do with Sun/Moon.
  • Battle Frontier, AZ, Zygarde, and you can take the SS Anne to Kanto. All in the post-game?
  • Marshadow has two forms. It has the Solar Eclipse Forme which is Poison/Fire, and Lunar Eclipse Forme which is Poison/Ice. It has a history with Zygarde and capturing it is Team Skull's objective.
  • There are 16 Trial Captains, one for each type minus Dark and Poison. Four for each island. Guzma and Plumeria kinda act like captains of Dark and Poison, respecitively, except it's a lot more battle-based and less gimmicky "task" based.
  • Alola forms are exclusively Generation 1. Alolan Corphish was planned according to its Pokedex entry.
  • We've only seen about half of the Alola forms.
  • Mimikyu doesn't evolve. A little girl gives us one early on in the game (it can be Shiny). We can catch it later on in the wild, maybe about a third of the way into the main storyline.
  • Pikipek stays as a Normal/Flying woodpecker. The beak apparently becomes much larger, sword-esque design.
  • You begin at the bottom of Kanto after being dropped off by the ship and can work your way up the region.
  • Guzma is "a Poison guy", there's some joke regarding his "toxicity" as a person. He uses an Alolan Nidoking near the end of the game, which is Poison/Fighting. He uses Skuntank as well.
  • Hala lets you take over Mele Mele Island as Kahuna, which lets you give people tasks on collecting items and possibly Pokemon.
  • Mimikyu's Shiny is dark purple and the black spirit underneath is white.
  • Magearna is an additional man-made part of the Tapu Koko totem pole with the others. Magearna is obtainable as a Pokemon in the normal storyline.
  • You can bond/merge/fuse with the final evolution of your starter.
  • The types of the final evolutions are Grass/Flying, Fire/Dark, and Water/Fairy.
  • You can change the color of your Z-Ring and you can buy Team Skull clothes.

I'm chalking it up as a lucky guess, the rest sounds like your typical wishlist.

There is a rumor that Zendaya is playing Mary Jane in the new Spiderman

Apparently it's creating a controversy. I really don't care either way

TBH though I'm kind of sick of Spiderman reboots. Since I graduated Highschool alone, this'll be the 3rd series

Plus Zendaya's kind of hot IMO

Another leak with Alolan Nidoking... I've tried not to get my hopes up about it being true, but he has been mentioned in so many leaks that it's hard not to.

TBH though I'm kind of sick of Spiderman reboots. Since I graduated Highschool alone, this'll be the 3rd series.
Agreed. I remember how I couldn't wait for the fourth movie's announcement, then "Director changed, so we're rebooting the series".

Then, I warmed up for the Amazing Spider-Man series, and was happy to hear there were two more movies planned.

And then they decided to reboot it again....

At least Homecoming won't be another origin story AND will be tied to the MCU.

Also Tony Stark will be in it, how could you not like the whole awkward dad dynamic?

The only reason why I would see them include Kanto into the game is so that you can have access to the original Kanto formes of the Pokemon that have an Alola forme.

Assuming only the Kanto Pokemon will be having it.....

I had to look up the age of Zendaya to make sure I wasn't some kind of weirdo or something

Nope, I'm only 10 years older than her

Is it too late for me to post a controversial opinion? Because here I go.

There aren't too many sword characters in Smash.

Is that why it has three choices? I thought it had some plot significance... I guess not.

I believe he's there because he fits as "other."
He'd fit better in the gadgets, imo. Considering the inside of his hammer.

The Magic/Other category is a rather poorly defined category imo. Dedede doesn't fit with Zelda, Ness and others.

Dedede has a weapon but he should go under CQC/Gadget. Afterall, he has a non sword weapon that is both made for close quarters combat and is a gadget.

I'd also put Shulk under pure swordsman. I know the Monado is energy but it doesn't affect his moveset exactly.

I mean Ike uses magic with Eruption, right?

How picky are we gonna be?
