Zuruzukin is "Eh" for me. He's not bad, but he's the weakest link in my team, in that he really doesn't do much. Sure being able to eat Gengar for breakfast is awesome, but he just doesn't do enough for the team. Shed Skin doesn't quite work well either, so maybe I could play around with an Intimidate variant which can safely deal with Doryuuzu? Failing that, there's always Machamp/Roobushin/Hariyama.

Yeah, I've built my team around the concept of insane bulk, and it's working rather well. Now the only things that are really frustrating to face are what, Balloon Doryuuzu and some rain teams? And Starmie is amazing: Starmie @Expert Belt EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spd / 4 Def (for more swaps into SR) Nature: Timid Ability: Natural Cure ~ Hydro Pump / Surf ~ Ice Beam ~ Thunderbolt ~ Hidden Power [Fire] Seriously, the amount of people who get greedy and swap in Scizor and Nattorei is astounding, so I punish them with a quick HP Fire. Wish support is good, so complement it with the best answer to dragons there is: Jirachi @Leftovers EVs: 252 HP / 216 SpDef / 36 Spd Nature: Careful Ability: Serene Grace ~ Wish ~ Body Slam ~ Iron Head ~ U-turn / Fire Punch / Stealth Rock Once again, so many people get greedy with Nattorei and Scizor, so Fire Punch punishes both. Seriously, the bulk this thing has is insane. Fun fact: LO Sazandora's Fire Blast fails to 2HKO it. The picture is even better looking at Draco Meteor. Specs Latios does something like 35%. Free Wish.

What Game(s) Did You Last Get and What Are You Playing?
Sounds fun :lol: The writing for the game is actually really good. There's like six endings to it though. One true ending, an ending that just ends abruptly, three bad endings (all of which you die in), and some ending that tells some important facts. It's best described as Saw meets the Titanic. With a nine hour time liimit before the ship sinks. And attempting to break the rules of the game results in a bomb in your intestines going off. It's a game you really have to play to understand. It's something like Phoenix Wright in that it's a visual novel and "escape the room" type of game. Oh, and this game is chock full of nightmare fuel. That's the theme for the bad endings.

[TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!
Reminds me of how I use a Targe + Caber Demoman on degrootkeep. Just go up to the wall, and caber jump onto the battlements. If no one noticed you, a charge melee + melee will kill a sniper.

The actual TRUTH of actual reality
Are you kidding? There is everything to be gained. Freedom from the delusion that has crippled humanity and been responsible for the majority of suffering in the world. You don't "have" memories. There is no "you" to own the memories. There are simply memories that are seen when certain stimuli are perceived. What separation between entities? It's imaginary, we were all born into REALITY. Imagine being born a baby, a blank slate. Then the mind labels "you", and from then on, everything you do is coloured by this assumption that "you" are there. That is just another thought. You can feel this right now. Stop, look at the world. That feeling of being separate is the minds label. Does anything own that? Is it yours? I don't like your viewpoint. It sucks. And it's rather depressing while we're at it.

The actual TRUTH of actual reality
Better question: Who gives a [bleep]? What matters is that I'm right here, right now. I don't have time to question those "if's" and "or's". And everything he said is one giant paradox. A self-terminating paradox.

Outside of trick room, you're a useless pokemon tbh. It would be good if it could learn Nasty Plot I think. Set up Reflect and Screen and then spam Leaf Storm and Nasty Plot. Walled by anything that resists Grass of course, but still... Doesn't change the fact that Celebi still outclasses it from that angle. Hell, even Shaymin does. He's just too damn slow and his movepool is garbage. He just doesn't have the power or bulk to make up for it. Everything outside of the original 151 is irrelevant. I approve of the good Mr. Exeggutor's post. OT: Today I noticed the beginnings of a suspicious upsurge of Pokemen, then realized they were probably just side accounts of He Who Was Called Adam And Now Types In Caps. And with that statement, you're fueling the fan dumb. Stop that, no one likes it.

Last game I got was Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. The entire game is one massive mindscrew that exceeds the MGS series in mind screws.

Well, the tried-and-true set I run around with (and popularized) is this: Rankurusu @Life Orb EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA Ability: Magic Guard Nature: Bold ~ Calm Mind ~ Recover ~ Psycho Shock ~ Hidden Power [Fighting]/Focus Blast I just can't find a good offensive core... From what I'm aware, Tyranitar, Scizor, Landlos, Garchomp, and to an extent Doryuuzu threaten this. We need something that can deal with them... Starmie could check them except for Scizor, no? Problem being, Scizor just constantly spams U-turn, so it can't be countered.

The only thing I found that murders is Rankurusu, so maybe a teambuild around it wouldn't be a bad idea?

I give up. This metagame is [bleep]ing broken. I can't get anything going anymore. There is no team that works well now. What the hell happened to make this so...

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Yeah, I was quoting TF2 on the last part of that post :P But yeah, self confidence is mainly your mental state. The way RPG described it though, there is a very thin line between being self-confident and being a pompous ass.

Yeah, because of that, I now have a good reason to run Heatran/Kingdra.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Still, tread carefully. Be polite, be efficient, and have a plan to f**k every girl you meet.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I think I just invoked one of the best gambits ever. Recently, I had a girlfriend, but she was straying away towards a much lesser individual. I know this dude's not very smart, or intelligent. Rather than going jealous and killing the relationship before it even starts, I figured I could remove this guy from the equation easily enough, BUT there was a failure condition: This could horribly, horribly backfire against me. The plan: Just outright break up with her and let her be interested in this guy, after all, we've only dated for two weeks or so. I break up with her and let her go after this guy, and two weeks after dealing with this guy, his true nature comes forth: A jealous, needy, generally terrible guy. She came back to me, so the plan worked well. If this guy was in fact a genuinely nice guy, well, let's not go there.

#! On a different note, I just realised that the new XBOX 360 Kinect Sensor is indeed a racist. I was wearing a black shirt, and it was going hayware and didn't work at all. Soon as I took it off and it saw my whiteness it worked. I'm glad I have no black friends. Lol. Is it bad that knew what video you posted before even opening it? Been playing minecraft, addictive as hell.

The absurdity of it is amazing. Really, it's what happens if you were to ask Studio Gainax to remake The Powerpuff Girls.
