While trading pull out the link cable, you will be both end up having the charizard, or w/e pok̮̩̉̉mon. :wink: That's how I got my Mew on pok̮̩̉̉mon blue. Oh, if you go that place where you can get "missingnumber", put the tm you want 99 of 6th in your inventory or something, you will get 99 of them, also works with "rare candy", anyway, that was with blue, don't know how business is now. The duplicating thingy only works in red and blue.. (talk to the guy that learns you how to catch pokemon, fly to the port, surf up and down the right shallow border.. ) It's also useful to know this strategy will permanently screw up the game cartridge and there is no way to fix it, I'm speaking from experience. Go to a PC and start viewing the 'hall of fame', there will be a lot of bugs, some strange lagged music and weird graphics. Overall there will also appear more bugs and pokemon names will be messed up often. This doesn't hurt the gameplay too much but it's annoying.

About 6500, so that was about the top 6 (by post count). But those times are long gone 8) My username was 'dark killer0' back then which is also my RS name.

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,15 ... 62,00.html Any comments on that? I think we are advancing. Some people get hit by a car and call it 'destiny' and 'it was meant to happen'. But then again people 500 years ago called plague 'destiny' because they couldn't cure plague. Now humans seem to be on the brink of finding cure to many 'unnatural' causes of death, such as death on the battlefield. This could stir up a huge conflict of ethics and ideologies and quite honestly create a lot of chaos especially amongst the older population who has already seen too much advancement during their lifetimes, this could be a bit too much for them.

This thread doesn't seem like much of an advertisement does it? Even if the URL was removed, it would be pretty easy to find the game using strategic keywords on google or just sticking it all together and ending it with .com. Seems like more of a discussion. Just because there is an outside URL, it doesn't mean you are selling anything or trying to gain personal benefit. And I doubt he was hired by the company to post on message boards... No, I don't play KO. It's pretty cool if you don't count in the fact that it's too laggy most of the time, whic is the largest reason a lot of people give up on it. :)

Sir, you're are so amusing.

Unfortunately it's not 5 hours, at least my batteries ran out way before that (somewhere between 2 and 3 hours). But it's true, the package says if used properly (i.e. not trying to beat people to death with it or try to stick it through their stomach), it will last theoretically forever (equivalent to using it 24/7 for 6 months straight). And yeah, you will need a plenty of AA batteries for contiuous use. :) It might help if you have rechargeable batteries so that you don't have to spend more on the batteries each month than the actual cost of the lightsaber.

Exactly, people should donate because they want to keep a great site going, not because they want some special icons, status or rankings (though, to conserve bandwidth it would be probably a good idea to require a small donation like $3 for using an avatar). And when you see posts like this, ASKING to give money to the forums (instead of the forum asking the user), you know it's meaningful to the people using it. :)

I'm not really a SW fan but recently I bought the blue lightsabre. All I can say is that.. It's probably the best toy I've ever had. The toy that every child wants but they only get to play with little cars. The idle sound of it sounds unrealistically realistic, if that makes sense. When you swing it in a dark room swiftly, the motion leaves a cool-looking tray of light behind. Also when you move & hit it, there is a sound effect. Unfortunately the batteries will run out in a matter of hours. To the guy who will eventually post on this thread (it's an universal law) and emphasize how childish and foolish this is, all I can say is: Stop the trash talk and lie, you know you want one of these. I barely know anything about Star Wars (a long time ago I watched the Episode I: Phantom Menace, 'watched' in the loosest sense of the term) but I can say you will have a lot of fun with this thing than many other things you can buy for $170. :)

lol wheres your source for this data? ever heard of something called vitiligo? :roll: True, but only about 1-2% of people will be ever affected by vitiligo. Black people have a different type of skin which necessarily does not produce any melanocytes in reaction to excessive sunlight, as opposed to white people who will be affected even by 10 minutes of sunlight because their skin type is different, it absorbs every ray of sunlight. So in this situation white people are at a disadvantage when going to a beach for the first time etc. Also, vitiligo is not a sun related disease. It happens because of a misfunction in your body where your immune system accidently attacks your own cells, thus destroying the colored cells and making whole areas of your body milk-white. It could happen to you no matter where you live, be it the North pole or Turkey. I don't really have a problem with the sun because I'm always in a place where it shines on me and I have a nice tan, but my face (and especially forehead) react really annoingly. It turns red for at least 2 days before upgrading to 'tan' if I'm out for more than 3 to 4 hours. It's just too damn irritating. But I guess we all have our problems when it comes to this 8)

The whole social security scheme is a scam. You work for 60 years to live well for the last 15 ones. I mean, who the hell buys into this? If I don't have enough money in my bank account to live on it by the time I was 60, I'd consider myself a failure. But I'm not definitely paying for something that operates on such laughable grounds when I could just save up money all by myself, invest it and retire before age 35. I don't get it why people don't realize this. You don't even have to gamble with stocks. Put the money in a 10% annual fund and deposit $30,000. Let's assume you have this amount by the time you're about 21 (you worked very hard, got contributions and birthday presents etc. etc.) Now let's bring out the calculator. By the time you will be 50 years old, you will have a lump sum of $524,114 for withdraw, or, in other words, a money generator of $52,000 a year for the rest of your life ($4367 a month) And that's just one source of income out of the many you will probably encounter, including your job, by just depositting a sum when you were young and forgetting about it. Don't forget that there are many other opportunities as well (10% is really a low return on investment but it's good if it stays constant).

Well, I remember one thing from the game series: If you click 'select', you can move skills in the attack list when a combat begins. So if you breed a Pokemon you should move the most important moves at the bottom because the breeders automatically overwrite a new skill on an old one. There are lists somewhere on the internet that tell you at which level a Pokemon learns a certain move so you're aware. Yeah, it was very popular. :) I bought the 'Red' version just to see what's it all about since I had a gameboy anyways, I thought it would be a very childish and boring game. It turned out to be an ok RPG. Yes, it's targeted at children but if you're bored, this game is a lot better than many others on the gameboy. They also made a gold/silver and sapphire/ruby version. If you play one of these games without unconsciously thinking of it as "childish crap", it might turn out to be fun actually. Yeah, they made a cartoon, toys and all that junk just for cash. But the games aren't that bad, people put too much emphasis on how childish it is when it really isn't.

Yeah, I read the book too. (Spoiler: You might not want to know this if you haven't read the book yet) Dumbledore turns the statues in the hallway into living creatures and they kick the hell out of Voldemort while Dumbledore sips lemonade and laughs in the background. He can't be provoked by an angry teenage dark lord. Then Harry says a catchy phrase, I think. But the point is that he gave life to a statue. That's something to celebrate if compared to just using mental powers or swinging around a lightsaber. 8)

I thought you guys are just saying in it a comical matter, dang, you actually mean it. There is no way he would've done this alone, stealing so many of them would take over a dozen of people. Most of the time the criminals never get caught for this type of crime (unless, as mentioned, they're cellphones which can be eventually tracked down) which makes it lucrative. People don't just walk into a store or a warehouse and say "wow, free iPods, awesome, I think I'll steal 12000 of them". It's organised crime and they most likely had it set up weeks before they actually committed it. Think that there were 24 people helping him. Each one gets to sell 600 of them, it's just too easy if the store is stupid enough to leave so many iPods without any protection at all. There's not much you can say in this situation, except... "Free money". This kind of stuff happens all the time with laptops and other electrical goods. They barely ever get caught.

Other than the London lineup, I swear I've never heard of those other artists before (except Laura Pausini which you slightly misspelled). Quite strange. Exactly... Lol, if they really would impose the VAT on Live8, it would probably end up in quite a few protests against the government.

Lol, I lost $200 on this one... Couldn't believe it when they came back from 3-0 to 3-3 and won on penalties. I was very confident that Milan would win, guess I was wrong then. 200 bucks more to the betting agent but damn that was entertaining anyways. 8)

Yeah, interesting isn't it :P Bill Gates, with his current money, would be able to hire a professional army of 200,000 soldiers for 7 years (assuming he paid them a salary of $30,000 a year, leaving him with $3 billion for food, weapons, a couple of tanks and aircraft, uniforms and other expenses equaling roughly $15k per soldier which is more than enough) But I doubt he has an 'inferiority' complex and feels like he needs to conquer other nations to feel safe. But what do I know, it's his money and his decisions...

Not true then. Halo 3 will be terrible anyway. What can they add? Terrible story? Lacklustre weapons? Rubbish level design? Moderate multiplayer? Seeing as it is easily one of the biggest games ever and the most preordered game ever and one of highest rated games ever Just because something is high in the numbers and gets high 'ratings', it in no way makes the thing better. Shrek outsold thousands of quality movies and was one of the most succesful movies in 2004 and got rave reviews, quite honestly it was a steaming pile of ...., just because something is "popular" it doesn't mean it's automatically good. And I beg to differ, I believe Zelda Ocarina of Time (N64) is the most preordered game ever and also the best ratings (just about all 5/5, 10/10, 99/100 etc), not sure what's the definition of "big" though so can't comment on that. If it's media value and hype, that has no meaning except to get more suckers into buying a game instead of deciding yourself what to buy and what not. I don't buy a game based on how much people or the media talk about it. It doesn't make a game any better.

Yep, except it's healthy propaganda. These organizations don't gain any personal benefit for going on a mission to make people quit smoking, they simply want to remind you that in America alone over 300,000 people die every year because of smoking related diseases (that's about 1% of the U.S. population poisoning themselves to death every year, but this is after years of consecutive smoking though). Simply put, they want to stop the mass murder some people are volunteerily submitting to. Every single adult I knew in my childhood smoked. Every single. Fortunately my father quit over 10 years ago but my mom still smokes sometimes. Peer pressure is not a reason to 'go along with the crowd', unless you're stupid and can't make your own decisions. I'm not the only one, there are a lot of people influenced by smokers since age 3 and they still decided to stay out of it. You must use your own brains because it's your own life. I hope one day your friend realizes this.

The thing is that sometimes these scammers are just too stupid. Once I just out of boredom emailed them back, they said I must pay an advance fee of $4600 and after that my funds will be processed. I replied back and told him I'm a poor matwasher from Cuba and I can't afford it but maybe I could ask my parents for a loan to collect the 'magnificent prize' (the actual email was longer though). Then I emailed him back, asking him to send me $20 via western union for a bus trip to my parents' home. Guess what: The sucker actually sent me $20 along with a postcard saying "Happy holidays". Later on I found out this is an entire section of art on the internet called '419', the art of scamming scammers. It's amazing how dumb some people can be. I donated the $20 to a children's hospital charity.

For 5 seconds, I thought "maybe I should include 'don't quote the dictionary'. I'll word it better: Define a "false" religion (since a lot of people assign "false" to "pagan" other than it not being a christian, muslim, jew etc.

Define pagan? How can one single religion have the power to falsify the others? Some 'pagan' religions could say christianity is false and it would have as much weight as the christians saying the pagans are infidels. Just because a church has a large amount of followers it doesn't make it's opinions any more "justified". It doesn't matter if 10,000 people are shouting 1+1=3 and 5 people are trying to tell the people 1+1=2, the numbers don't prove anything. Just because 50 million christians claimed the Earth is flat and one man defied them, it doesn't make that one man "false" just because he doesn't resort to mass power.

It's that frog making the 'special' noise and then that fat hippo slapping and shaking it's [wagon]. They're quite annoying especially when you watch a late night show like Conan O'Brien and every 15 minutes you see 3 Jamster ads, just because ads are cheaper at night. (Hint: Change the channel if you're irritated, nobody is forcing you (at least non psychologically) to watch the ads)

The smoking is irrelevant, they have the best healthcare in the world. Thats why the life expectancy is the best. I dare to challenge you, USA and Scandinavia (Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland) have the best healthcare in the world, the latter even have it free. Not that I'm questioning Japan though, it can't be just a coincidence that their life expectancy is so high.

I agree with Hannibal, just stop the *bashing* of religions on this thread. This thread is about judging "non-mainstream" religions like Wiccan (contrary to some beliefs, it in NO way resembles any bloody rituals or anything the like. I've studied Wicca for over 1 year now and I can say it's one of the most friendly religions out there) to "not being teachable". This issue is pointless, it's just like a discussion about "should all people have the same amount of votes". In terms of rights, all people should have equal rights. But people are never intellectually equal, yet the vote of a person who knows nothing about politics has as much weight as one that knows all the pros and cons of a society. There is no way to define "intelligency" just as there is almost no way to define "true" morals for a judge. It's a shame that in a democratic country a judge would prohibit a parent from teaching her child a religion, if it's "non-mainstream". I dare anybody to morally challenge that statement. It's as stable as telling a kid "you aren't allowed to drink orange juice during your lunch break, that would be non-mainstream since all the other kids drink coke and pepsi".
