    ClanOCR's 1st Pokémon Tournament

    in Competitions

    Posted

    All right, the mewtation is now in control. Now, here's the thing. You have exactly ONE week to get your lists to me. Well, maybe I'll be a little generous, I'll give you an extra seventy-three minutes. You have until MIDNIGHT, Wednesday 18 July 2007, Eastern Standard Time, to EMAIL your lists to me. I check my email a hell of a lot more than I check OCR, so there. mewtatedmewtation@gmail.com, if you didn't know it already. Make the sure the subject contains something about the Pokémon tournament, so I know what it's about, and include your username too so I know who you are. There will be no exceptions on the list deadline, because this mofo's been delayed over, what, a month now? Same rules Arek set up apply, same Pokémon are banned, and I expect no hackeds.

    Now, I would still like to participate in this tournament, so I've got two suggestions. First one, what if, in the brackets, I would be a phantom participant. As in, I would move up as well, but whoever I played would also get a valid participant. I wouldn't compete for standing, just for honors, and I couldn't win the thing. Second suggestion, I would bare my entire Pokémon, item, and movelists here, and participate as normal. Or something you could suggest that I haven't even thought of yet. What do you think?

    Okay, so I've got integrated audio on my notebook...

    (Yeah, I know I'm pretty much screwed already.)

    Anyway, I just bought a Schecter Diamond Series Omen-6, it's pretty sweet, and it sounds awesome. I've got a Dell Latitude D620 with integrated audio and graphics, one gig of RAM, and running XP Pro. I've got the necessary adaptors (I mean, the 1/8" jack to 1/4" inch phono plug and vice versa) in order to plug the guitar into the computer, but whenever I do, the audio's all muffled or muddy, which I'm blaming on the integrated audio. (As far as I know, for a notebook of that size, there's not much else you can do.) Is there any way I can kick up the potential of my audio and/or graphics (speaking of graphics, Chankast won't run properly because of my graphics situation) without a major extraneous purchase?

    Smartass replies aside :P

    I don't think I'll get too far, I was just asking because if I DO progress past the first two matches, I don't want to hold the tournament up when I go out of town for 10 days.

    I was essentially asking about it because if there will be a problem I'd like to drop out of the tournament now before schedualing problems arise.

    If you're desperate enough (hell, I did it for a year before I got my wi-fi dongle, and I still do it when I don't have steady access to wireless internet), you can camp for access points. Almost every McDonald's has an access point now that's free for DS users, and they're everywhere. A lot of gas stations have wireless internet, and if all else fails, seek out neighborhood unprotected wireless. It's cheap and poor, but it works.

    No, Wobby is banned because two of them on the field at the same time is instant stalemate. Neither can switch out and neither can attack. I've never seen a Wobby battle end without one guy just quitting, and then it's a matter of who's the more patient.

    Seriously, don't fucking use Wobbuffet.

    But I thought they fixed that in DP, where Shadow Tag would be ineffective when pitted against another Wobbuffet.

    Metallica or Megadeth?

    I've got a response especially for debates like this:

    Megadeth was formed as a revenge project because Mustaine was always too drunk off his ass to perform with a level of sanity. At least, that's the Mew-abridged version. And for what started as a revenge project and turned into one of the best damn thrash metal bands ever, they're pretty damn good. Unlike Metallica, Megadeth's managed to maintain some semblance of something that vaguely sounds like thrash through their span. (Alliteration ahoy!) Metallica, back when they STILL did thrash, was pretty damn good. You just couldn't compete with their guitar skills. It was so raw, so powerful. Megadeth's always been more technical with their guitar skills, which is equally as cool. I've always liked Metallica's lyrical skills more, and it's the only thing they really have going for them right now (excluding St. Anger: the lyrics on that album sucked). I mean, Creeping Death, Fixxxer, Justice For All; I can go on. Frankly, I've never been very impressed with Megadeth's lyrics, but hey: Mustaine's a fucking genius with a guitar. Whereas Metallica's fate is really up in the air with me when it comes to their newest album, I'm eagerly anticipating Megadeth's United Abominations. Therefore, it's really a draw between the two, in my opinion.

    Yo, Malcos, could I suggest something? One thing that turned me off about this month was the genre of the source tune. I mean, I know that different people are going to be turned off by different genres, because they might have vocal styles that would better suit one type of music and not another. Anyway, the point of this post: if it would be possible, next month, could we try to find something like, say, rock? I think it could open up a whole new level, branching out into different vocal styles with a different genre.

    iPod firmware alternative

    Ah. After much trial and error, I finally got the loader installed. But now it only gives me Apple OS, Disk Mode, and Sleep. No Linux or Rockbox...

    I've tried to follow the instructions, but I think maybe the instructions suck, or I'm just terrible at this.

    Either way, any help would be greatly appreciated...

    I think you've got to create a loader.cfg file. I use a 4gig Nano, with iBoy and Rockbox, so my file is as follows:

    # iPodLoader 2.3 config file
    backlight = 1
    timeout = 10
    default = 1
    beep_duration = 0
    bg_color = (157,215,208)
    # here come the menu choices:
    Apple @ ramimg
    iPodLinux @ (hd0,2)/linux.bin
    Rockbox @ (hd0,2)/hp/ROCKBO~1.IPO
    iboy color @ (hd0,2)/iboykernel.bin  /bin/iboy
    iboy test @ (hd0,2)/iboykernel.bin  /hp/iboy_newkern
    Sleep @ standby
    Disk Mode @ diskmode

    But you might need something slightly different.

    # iPodLoader 2.3 config file
    # here come the menu choices:
    Apple @ ramimg
    iPodLinux @ (hd0,2)/linux.bin
    Rockbox @ (hd0,2)/hp/ROCKBO~1.IPO
    Sleep @ standby
    Disk Mode @ diskmode

    Try that. Just open Notepad, paste that into the document, save as loader.cfg (cfg is your file extension, make sure it gets through like that), and put the file in the root of your iPod.
