A little something

I'm just goofing around in this flash creator and it's fairly fun. The text-to-sound speech is as great as the ones on the mac os so don't expect too much. However, they have the option for you to record your own voices.

Hurricane Irene

As some may know, Zach lives in Connecticut, which was in the path of hurricane Irene.

As kind of expected, Zach didn't show up online today and from what i read, some areas may be without power for days or even weeks. But in honesty, I dunno anything about how things are in Connecticut right now.

I have a feeling Zach's fine, I just hope there wasn't any serious damage to his family's house.

Hoping he'll be back online soon.

This is why we can't have nice games

If you check the link at the bottom of the post, there's quite more to it, and all of it makes people subconsciously rub the palm of their hand quite vigorously on their forehead or face as they read it. Of all the shit in Pokemon game you're going to have a problem with, you pick that?

Whoever wrote that article goes on to ramble on about people who are disabled, completely missing the point that in Pokemon, paralysis is:

• A temporary status effect.
• Caused by an attack, usually electric.

How can you even make an article like this? By the 2nd paragraph the author uses the word "disableism" (not a real word, unless meant "disablism"), which is about discrimination on disabled people, not temporary paralysis. Showing very early on how she has no idea what she's talking about.

This is Obviously nonsense because "Disable" in Pokemon just locks one of your moves and doesn't paralyze you *rimshot*

From that point on, the article derails into an unfounded rant about how Pokemon is insensitive because that woman doesn't know what words mean.

Next part is the one that really got to me though:

It's that one kind of nonsense that is so dumb, you don't even know where to start.

Paralysis CAN be temporary, and if the game treats it as temporary, maybe, just maybe that's the type we're dealing with. Were in fucking Pokemon does it say "EMPOLEON is paralyzed from the neck down permanently!" cause I've never seen that one.

You want an example of temporary paralysis? How about fucking tasers? You know when a Pokemon is hit by a high voltage and can't move? SAME CONCEPT!

Even that crazy bitch's kids can tell it's implied that the Pokemon used a move that stuns the Pokemon's nervous system resulting in a temporary loss of muscle function! guess what's that called. If you said Paralysis, give yourself a pat on the back.

The rest of the article is as dumb if not dumber, read it at your own risk, I'm not responsible if you pop a vein. Some of the responses point out how mind-numbingly dumb the article was.

Haven't been up to anything, so i'll post something funny

Something Zach found and we both ended up laughing real hard at:


This guy has an entire series of videos like this, you can find the playlist here.

He also has dubs of other shows, give it a look if you liked this.

Io the Man Angler

Io is a free-spirited, energetic, four-armed bio-luminescent alien from some far-off planet somewhere in the deep recesses of space. She leaves her planet in search of a mate that is tolerant of her insatiable sex drive... and the possibility she may accidentally inject them with her eggs should they become fertilized.

Io's anatomy is odd and mysterious. Why four arms? Why the knobby growths on most of her joints? Does she have a skeleton? What does she eat? How does she survive the vacuum of space? Unfortunately she's never stayed in one place long enough for anyone to really confirm any of that, though some people have their theories after observing her.

Personality-wise, Io is very open, honest, and comes off as unintelligent and naive due to her lack of knowledge concerning the various alien races she's encountered. She views the universe as a vast ocean of unlimited possibility, and even if she doesn't find what she's after, she may still discover something nice, or make friends with interesting people. She never forgets anything. ANYTHING... Though it may take some prodding to jar her memory.

The lure on Io's species' head is exclusive to females. It's used primarily to attract potential mates... and maybe food. We don't know. Females will burrow underground, leaving only the lure visible, and wait for mates/prey to approach. Males aren't very keen on breeding, considering it involves taking on the burden of the eggs until they hatch... and tear out of their mid-section(they get better. Still hurts like hell, though). They enjoy the sex part, though. That part's nice.

PC-98 cameos/references

By chance, I found a screenshot of a PC-98 game around a week ago, and the sprites on it were really good. So it got me in the mood to lookup what other games the system had.

Turns out there's a surprising huge amount of hentai games for it.

Hentai or not though, a lot of those games were wonderfully sprited, and I hate that it was mainly a jap system because i can't get the games for it to play, and the few that I managed to get to run with an emulator were, obviously in jap, so couldn't get very far from the main menu.

Did find weird stuff among the hentai games though, but the cameos and/or references always felt the weirdest part of all:

At first, i thought that the cameo here was that doll of Sailor Jupiter above where the chair is, but in fairness, it could just be any schoolgirl. But then i noticed the cap on the bed with "Terry" written on the front, which is not what Terry Bogard's hat says, but still could be a reference to him, and on even further inspection, I see a mini Muttley by the chimney.

This one could have way more cameos than the one I'm about to mention, but dunno the other ones. The most obvious one should the the guy in the middle with his back to us, it's an obvious Ryu, then the other one is the man standing on the right side, looks like Galford to me.

Possibly the best looking one, A very obvious Piccolo.

Very subtle Kenshiro in the back there.

Ok, Maybe i'm making this one up, but to me, it looks like Gary Oak being carried by a giant robot/creature, possibly rushing towards a cave where Ash will emerge from, with all of his Pokemon but one KO'd, to challenge Ash to a battle.

Maybe it's just me.

Another spiral rant: Why the economy doesn't work

So lately, been playing this backwards retarded game with Zach and Bitten, and i gotta rant a bit about it.

Sometimes, when I'm on spiral, I open the market window, and just stare at it for a minute or two.

Almost every time, You'll see people offering more than the top offer for CE, but instead of offering +1 crown, they'll offer +5/10/50/100.

The problem is, if it's not bought immediately, the next asshole to make an offer will top that one, and suddenly, bam! the next standard value for CE is that much higher.

The fags selling the CE are aware it's worth something and bargain for every ounce of it, the idiots with crowns just shovel it at the CE sellers like it's worthless, and then complain that they need more and more of it to get CE.

You get no advantage whatsoever from offering +10/50/100 than the top offer to buy CE, it's the exact same as offering +1, the difference is, you're not fucking up the entire economy for the free players community.

Personally, I only make offers lower than the top 5 to not contribute to the retarded inflation, but yea, lots of inbred fucktard people on that game, the economy will always get out of control for ANY excuse.
