Oh. My. God. GIVE IT TO ME NOW!

I'm at about 200 seen, about 120 caught. Battle Island is like a huge nostalgia trip for me. I caught a Bellsprout and a Spearow. Also, I'm breedin' anything rare I have right now, like Eevees and Riolu. They make for quick, painless trades on the GTS.

You get Spiritomb at that little rock mound south of the grave tower, but only after you've talked to 32 other people in the Underground. Me? I waited, bred some Shuppets, and got mine over the GTS. Now I'm using it as a trump for all the other rarities I want. Breeding is good. And that shiny glitch might just be an unmentioned feature. A buddy of mine gave me a Ditto for breeding and it turned purple upon being traded to me.

Once you make it through, you can enter victory road from the league side (though you still need one guy with Surf to enter the dungeon part), and build up your team without all those irritating blockades. EDIT: Make sure you have Fly as well, because you wouldn't want to get stuck.

Ten days before my birthday? Fuck yeah. *crosses fingers*

I chose Meteos because it is as good-natured and unseen as I am. I also chose one I haven't unlocked to further augment my invisibleness.

Anybody want my totally amazing Cranidos? Brand-spanking new, never been used! All I ask is a low-level Cherubi in return.

Yeah, I probably should've bought the router... but I bought the stick anyway. Oh well.

I also got a question concerning wifi... Would I need a wireless router in addition to the USB stick, or is the stick all I need to get online?

I'm going to buy a wifi stick for my compy today, so I'll hopefully be online within 3 to 10 weeks. <-- Is hopelessly inept at setting this kind of stuff up.

Dammit, I need to get online... My team is great and all, but I want some of the oldies-but-goodies too.

Having a level 21 Kadabra makes that fight considerably easier.

I must've missed the rod... Oh well, Magikarps are useless anyway. Currently, my team is Prinplup, Budew, Luxio, Kadabra, and Machop. Geodude fills in the 6th spot for Rock Smashing. I'm having way more fun with this one than I did with Emerald. I mean, at least I'm not constantly fighting beavers and blackbirds, whereas Emerald was nothing but fights against racoons and hyenas. I should probably read the manual to learn about things like effort points...

Uh, guys? It's not FF13 specifically that will be multiplatform, but the FF13 series of games will not all necessarily be on Sony and cell phone systems. That's all this article is saying. EDIT: Nevermind. THIS article says FF13 will not be ps3 exclusive, while another article elsewhere has stated what I said above. So it's up in the air now. Let me try to find that other link. EDIT EDIT: Here. Read thoroughly. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/18/final-fantasy-xiii-series-not-exclusive-to-ps3-and-mobile-360

Ending's pretty great, and you're quite close to the end, but a whole lot of nothing happens between where you are and the end of the game. Try to get obsessed with building levels and clearing the license board if you're growing weary of the thinly-stretched plot.

They're all actually hired by a marketing company to push the game in forums. I just beat the *SPOILERS!* Flopside pit of 100 Trials. Unfortunately, at the 100th floor, it tells you you need to go through it again to face the boss and claim the treasure. I felt ripped off. Thank god it only takes about an hour to do.*END SPOILERS!*

I'd say those parts are a little Earthbound-esque. Earthbound had all sorts of weird things like that, like waiting for 3 full minutes in front of a waterfall to open the secret path forward. It's likely a nod to the series.

Chapter 6 is a bit of a mind fuck.

Done chapter 5 and things are just barely starting to get into the realm of "challenging". I guess it's too much to ask to have boss fights that might kill me in 3 or 4 hits, rather than the 8-10 it's been slapping me around with.

Things like explicit sex and extreme torture. San Andreas got an AO rating because of the Hot Coffee mod, recall? I imagine the violence has to be a little more graphic than a simple decapitation or amputation. It needs to look more "real".

Well, there IS the whole boss fight dealie against her... Though that wasn't really her, who says she can't use all that kickass magic herself?

Four minutes... You waited FOUR MINUTES before getting fed up with waiting. Go pop more ritalin, you ADD case.

I had a thought last night, which may or may not be new and/or stupid, but I'll share it anyway. All characters have four (as far as we know) special attacks in Brawl, correct? What if you had the ability to swap out special moves for characters? I'll use Samus as an example. Say by beating Classic mode with her on Hard, you unlock the Ice Beam. You could then go into a customization mode, where you save out Samus character data to your system, and from there replace, say, her missiles with the ice beam. Then, in multiplayer fights, you could select your saved, revised Samus much like you select a nickname in Melee now. The moves you unlock, of course, would have to be balanced a little (ice beam, for example, would freeze at high percentages and deal considerable damage [15% or so?] but move slowly), and it would be a royal pain to think up moves for characters who're already struggling filling 4 slots (Ice Climbers, Peach, Fox, etc), but I just thought it was something interesting I'd share. Won't happen this time around though. Maybe the Smash game AFTER Brawl.

Too bad he wasn't carrying a fairy with him.

the last o was to allow the rest of the message to be in caps Also *hugs* best friends 4evah
