KIIIIIIILLLL IT!!!!

You know what I want to kill right now...

[HEADING=1]That pokemon deserves to die[/HEADING] It's a bastard. It's the biggest son of a ***** I have ever encountered in pokemon. There are LEGENDARIES that are easier to catch than this...thing. All I wanted was something to trade my friend on Soul Silver for so I could get his Skarmory. He set me the hell up. He knew this would kill me slowly on the inside. He planned it. Now this creature is going to slowly suck the life from me until I'm nothing but a husk of my former self. I need to write a letter to gamefreak. Dear Gamefreak, I hate you and everyone who has ever worked for you.

I caught it finally, but I almost don't want it in my party. Every time I see it I know it's laughing at me, tell me of all the time I wasted on catching it when I had a perfectly good team and didn't need the skarmory I'll get in a week(won't trade for another week).

...

Is there a way to kill a pokemon?

DUDE. DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THAT EVOLVES INTO!?

It turns into the biggest freaking powerhouse in the whole damn series.

Yes. A powerhouse that can be taken out by a weak fighting pokemon with low kick... 4x weakness to fighting sure sucks. (p.s. there are better tanks)

I just realized something, wouldn't chocolate pants be awsome?

Actually, I fail to see that they would be any good for anything. Terrible at being pants because they'd melt; terrible at being chocolate because nobody wants to eat chocolate that's been hanging out near a person's genitals.

Unless, I suppose, they were being worn by a really, really sexy person.

But still. No good at being pants.

In another thread I mentioned Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain and out of sheer curiosity decided to Google it. Turns out it's abandonware now and I've been playing it obsessively for the past few days while I have a cognitive science exam on Monday. I'm fucked. However I do thoroughly recommend Pax Imperia, it kicks so much ass. If you're reading this and considering playing allow me to hand you a few beginners' tips:

Spoiler: tips for beginning players ahoy!

The main races are decent but not great. If you're only just starting out, at least choose a race that is Psychic: it'll allow you to see the entire map as well as the movement of the other players. This is critical: especially on higher levels your opponents will not hesitate to declare war on you.

Alternately I'd suggest creating a custom race. Choose 'custom' on the race selection screen to make your own race. For beginning players I suggest the skills Subterranean, Anaerobic and Psychic. The first two allow you to colonise pretty much any planet and thrive. You'll need to sacrifice some points in other regards though. For that I'd suggest putting a penalty on Espionage because fuck espionage.

Once you start give your one planet with a Shipyard as much subsidy as you can afford and start pumping out Transports to colonise attractive planets. Look for Multipliers first (everything under 3x will cost you money in the long run) and maximum population second. Then start researching Cerametal and Meta Field Stabilisation as soon as possible - it'll allow you to make Cruisers before any other player can, and Cruisers will beat the everliving snot out of anything a possible enemy could throw at you at the beginning of the game. Enjoy!

I like Trains....

My friend is terrified of them, when we go anywhere on the train he stands with his back against the wall of the platform trying not to look like he's scared.

What are rudimentary farm tools and pieces of flaming wood going to do against a monster that eats rock and tar for breakfast?

*thoughtful munch*

Well couldn't you said that a little earlier the mob is on a killing monster mood and I can't give them satisfaction... we have to figure something out!

So is anyone else excited about the Soundgarden reunion?

No. I'm much more excited about painting my guitar on Tuesday.

Well I've got a neighbor who eats kittens for breakfast. He should be squishy enough for pitchforks to prick him, provided we can get past his army of minions

You know what would be cool. If I was a giant I could use pitchforks as just forks...and swords as knives...like the kitchen one.

And I'd eat bacon and eggs made from a whole wort hog and an ostridge egg. And I'd use a space for a spoon. That'd be cool.

Riddle me this folks..

The cake is a cake,
the lie is a lie,
the pie is a pie,

and the cake isn't a lie.

What is the cake?

 

[Solstrana91]

I just conquered Greece in Rome - Total War.

Someone tell me how awesome this game is. Someone. Please. I'm beginning to think the Escapist doesn't know this game, owing to the huge number of hints I've dropped about it in the last two days with absolutely no responses.

Don't worry my friend. I know exactly what game your on about. It will be loaded up when im finished with my buisness on the internet. Im currently knocking seven bells out of the Egyptians

I don't think hats are a valid reason to start wars.

I think they are a valid reason to start wars. I also belive that WWII was was caused by Hitler wanting to make everyone wear the hat he liked.

Im sure i read that in a news article somewhere its true just like the fact that Polar bears are left-handed.

And that squirrels would taste like ice cream if goats were taller, right?

That's what aerial ace is for.

and aerial ace is not one of Tyranitars moves. Tyranitar vs a weak fighting type - Tyranitar down.

Im sure that was in the same article! You must of read it too! I think the fact that microsoft was first created to try and test that and sell squirrels as icecream was in the same article wasnt it?
