First level 100 Pokemon was Charizard back on Pokemon Red.

When a nail went through my knee as a kid, was carrying a bunch of boards and the bottom one had a nail sticking out, fell backwards letting go of the boards, weight of all the boards drove the nail through my knee. Once they pried it out, I had to go through the fun of a tetanus shot.

Yeah, its just something stressed with the research here at Virginia Tech.

I want to see Tidus fight Cloud in the ultimate death match of the main protagonists from the two best Final Fantasy games in my opinion. Also I would love to see Commander Sheppard of Mass Effect with his awesome weapons and biotic powers take on Master Chief of Halo in the fight to determine...

Bioware, most definitely. I haven't played a game by them that wasn't at least good if not absolutely great. Mass Effect, Jade Empire, KOTOR, Baldur's Gate, and Dragon Age are all amazing and define the rpg genre in my opinion.

Mordin's cracks in Mass Effect 2 to be careful when having sex with a biotic (Subject Zero). Also that he would be sending an e-book to your room detailing sex positions you can do with proper flexibility, biotic fields, and padded walls.

When you refer to flatulence as "BOOMER", have all the hot keys memorized for the game, develop insomnia as you develop new strategies for Total War or Rise of Nations.
