Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
On a side note, there are those fans who always jump into any conversation about Final Fantasy and reminds everyone, as if they were born yesterday and no matter how in-depth the conversation is, about the whole numbering inconsistency for the games. I wish there was some way to convey to these people that their access to this information isn't exactly exclusive to themselves.
Also the original North American numbering scheme is not without its merits. For instance, while it cuts out III and V, two very good games, it discards II. Which more than makes up for everything, really.

The numbering inconsistency has been pretty much done away with now.
I think the internet and rereleasing the titles had made everyone aware of it, so Square just calls the games what they are instead of making a thing out of the differences between the US and Japan.
I'm sure it still comes up, but I have trouble imagining anyone says it for any other reason than to prove they had a SNES and played the games "BACK IN THE DAY".

Also I take umbrage with the idea that talking in caps to convey shouting is "bad writing".
I think using bold, italics, and caps is a perfectly valid way to attempt to convey inflection into a medium that traditionally relies on telling the reader how they where suppose to read the previous sentence.
I haven't read the Harry Potter books, but I wouldn't fault Rowling for doing that, personally.
The kids in the Narnia stories, and the ones in Enid Blyton's books, had all these posh-sounding slang words and goofy expressions that I doubted children had ever really used - "Simply splendid!", "Oh what beastly rotten luck, chaps," etc.
What???? Kids in Britain don't actually talk that way??
I should clarify because I think I came off kind of harsh there, Rowling uses allcaps shouting a lot in book five, and this didn't trouble me at all when I read the books. I have since been repeatedly informed that it should have. Truth be told I do think it should be used sparingly, because there are less jarring, more elegant ways to convey shouting. Allcaps should be reserved for if you want to deliberately jolt the reader, or if the speaker is Karkat.

Also it occurs that Jasper is the least appropriate avatar for defending anything with, let alone popular fiction.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I've never actually had a problem with "unrealistic dialogue" because I don't really know how people my age are supposed to speak.
I also don't really mind things like "Oh that rot" because it gives the prose a unique feel and voice. The voice might not be true-to-life, but it's a convincing voice nonetheless.
Most of it was boring because we got sat down by my dad in front of the courthouse and I didn't bother asking to go look around but it was still fun. There were a few fire-dancers at the courthouse and then a taekwondo group showed off their stuff in front of it, but my personal favorite part of the night was when I saw this little boy who seemed really intrigued by me -- and when I waved, he waved. When I stuck my tongue out, so did he. I made a funny face with my hands in my ears, and he did too. It was adorable. :3

Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
I've read two of them. (If anyone's curious: Siddhartha and To Kill a Mockingbird -- who hasn't read the latter?) I should check some of the others out, though.
But like Imi said, I don't think I'd find all of these books useful or enjoyable.

So while leaving the fireworks show earlier I saw a man nearly get run over by an impatient driver.
Reynoldsburg's fireworks are done in a city park, and people are allowed to drive in and park on the grass. There are a few separate areas for parking, so when the show's over, you have four or five lines of traffic that need to merge down to the two lanes that lead back to the main road. This year, rather than leaving people to their own devices (which results in people refusing to take turns), they had the parking attendants direct traffic on the way out.
So we're up to the point where two lines of cars merge. The attendant motions for the other lane to stop, and gives our lane the signal to go ahead. But some asshole in an old Jimmy pulls out of line and tries to squeeze between the two lanes. The attendant motions for him to stop, holding up the red flashlight and everything, but he doesn't. He shouts "STOP" at least three times, but the jackass blows on through. The attendant jumped out of the way just in time.

Lumine, I feel like I should give you a medal or something. I definitely broke Imi's rule about excessively large trash with that one.

Personally, I don't care how long your posts are as long as they don't break the format.
Books'll steer you wrong, kids.

(10 for me)
One.
yaay, literaries
^^^ Only 2, which is rather worrying under the circumstances.
A lot of those are on my to-read list though.
this actually made me literally laugh out loud, and I never do that.
