  • READ MY CROSS SHIPPING-FANFICTION, DAMMIT!

    i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis

    There have been several D&D or D&D-like movies over the years, no one really cares for them as far as I know.


    Actually, fans of the setting tend to like the second movie alright. Not exactly a huge budget film, but it feels very much like a standard adventure.

    CA: And yup, CSS was a total compromise between the BXA (which was still operating as if it was 1983 and Russia would win the Cold War if God forbid we let other countries use Triple DES), Hollywood (who would have gladly used N-bit elliptical curve "unhackable" encryption if they thought it would help, because they're mental) and the DVD player makers (who were like "You know all this has to run on a NEC 78K [roughly Z80-ish] at best, right?")

    Y'know, I have an ancient Toshiba DVD player downstairs, from the early days of the format; I should crack it open and see what CPU it uses.

    I don't think I've ever seen that one, so I wouldn't know.

    It's worth a watch if you like D&D and can track down a copy.
  • If you're looking for a point to save your game before you pick your
    starting Pokemon, you need to do it right now, before you check out the
    present. This will give you the option to reset your game if you're
    looking for a specific gender or if you're resetting for a shiny
    starter.

    why would you doo thatttttt

  • 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."
    Some people have that much time on their hands. I do not. Especially not if it's anything but HeartGold where I can't see if the starter is shiny before I pick it.
  • >Shiny Starter

    are you just trying to waste your time or what

    I encountered a whole bunch of shinies on my old Silver cartridge. Seaking, an Ekans, one other I forget...


    And then never again.
  • Back when Crystal came out, I caught a shiny Caterpie. This being before me or any of my friends knew what a Shiny was, I was determined to keep it and we all thought it was just the coolest thing.

    I like shiny Ekans. Brass is a good color for them.

    It also makes their mouth blue. Looks cool, but at the same time, that can't be healthy.

    No wait, that's shiny Arbok that has the blue mouth, my mistake. Derp.

    HEY GUYS LOOK AT MY TABLET

    ...I still have the default wallpaper. I'm not sure where to find one with the proper dimensions. :\

    FM: Now see, that's completely different because... okay, fine. It's not like Pokémon have never had funky colors or weird body parts in the first place.
  • THAT'S A PRETTY COOL TABLET, CA

    you should get a PPG wallpaper.

    Good night Gator.
  • I love when I get a notification on Youtube of someone replying to a comment I made ages ago, and the comment is just something like "are you stupid" or "wtf" or whatever. Because I never remember what I said, and I am rarely inclined to go check.

    My YouTube comments seem to be cursed. If the popular ones aren't deleted with a video(or end up being obscure anyway because nobody watches the video), they end up not making sense thanks to whoever made the original comment deleting theirs.
  • The only time I've ever gotten a top comment was from "I wanna see the lightning round!"

    no, that makes no sense without context. Go watch Haruhi-chan, you uncultured person.

    This infomercial FiOS1 is running is amusing. Cheryl Tiegs, of all people, is shilling for some overpriced fruit supplement drink, and you can tell she's only doing it because she hasn't been relevant in, oh, 30 years. :P 

    "I'll level with ya, folks. This stuff is overpriced berry juice, and you can do better getting Ocean Spray at the mega mart. I'm only doing it because I haven't had a magazine cover since the 1980s and they promised me good money..."
  • how would one do a story about teen superheroes without it seeming overly cliched or comically dark and edgy?

    It occurs to me that AU is probably actually in bed now, since he has to be ready for his trip tomorrow.

    ...I'm going to miss him. But he'll have fun.
  • Apparently Kellogg's brought back the old Pop-Tarts commercials with the "crazy good" tagline.


    Good thing, too. Loved these as a kid-- still work awesomely even after eight years.

    "Now there's this whole subgroup of people out there who really think the whole show is all about Ecstasy. It's not. 'Chemical X' just sounded mysterious and it was quick and it was just like, ok, fine, 'Chemical X'."

    I don't know why, but this amuses me.
  • reading a Lets Play, dude encountered a glitch Pokemon.

    he points out that it looks like there's a grin on the top one.

    I sorta see it myself.

    Interesting, Droid Sans looks a whole lot like Calibri. Now I know how to set up my font subs here. :D

    Huh, apparently after PPG's first What-A-Cartoon short was received poorly by a focus group, McCracken considered switching to less stylized character designs.

    I'm glad he didn't, though.

    I really shouldn't have put off responding to Ally for so long; I just finished catching up, and it made me realise just how much I missed her the past few days. 

    I'm going to bed now. I really need to sleep. And honestly, I think I need some snuggle time, too. Good...night? morning?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I have to leave for the airport in a little more than an hour.

    I wish Centie were here.
  • My dreams exceed my real life

    I'm quite sad right now and I don't know why.

    It sucks when that happens. Hope you feel better soon.

    Hey Anony!

    ... Am I too late?

    No, you're not.

    Yay!

    I'm actually still in bed...I just decided to turn on the tablet and see f I could catch you before you left.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Ooh, cool!

    Also, I watched "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey", which is notable for never having aired in the US...it's probably one of the darker PPG episodes.

    I enjoyed it. What can I say, I'm a sucker for musicals.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I thought the one where they destroyed Townsville with the mecha and got reprimanded for it was pretty dark...

    This show has a surprising number of dark episodes for how silly and lighthearted it usually is.

    I think another such episode would be "Knock It Off", where a guy named Dick manipulates the girls into giving him Chemical X so he can make imperfect knockoff Powerpuff Girls...who then kill him when they realize he never gave them love.

    It seems like focus groups are very rarely right. Ever noticed that?

    As for the designs, they're definitely recognizable but it's too... (gosh, what is the word?)

    It's too flowy for PPG. Looks closer to what he has planned with Wander Over Yonder. (Speaking of, gosh, he must seem to like making all of his projects look different. S'pretty cool, how the art changes with each thing.)

    The planned alternate designs remind me vaguely of '50s-'60s Hanna-Barbera (amusingly, H-B was PPG's studio at the outset) or some kind of Disney knockoffs.

    I thought "Knock It Off" was pretty dark too, considering that the girls almost die in that one.
