The Tale of Lokaria
MOAR! It's past Sunday, a week and a day past the Sunday you speak of, so where's this update? My first word tells it all. I can just suggest some general revision and proofreading to improve the flow of the story, but other than that I have no problem with it. I must admit that I dislike the snails-pace update rate of the Varrock Library, or at least for the stuff I deem worthy of reading. I guess it's worth the wait though =P~ And since I only come here once in a blue moon, I have lots of the older stuff to delve into. The only thing I would consider trying to pass off as a piece of literature would be a couple poems that were the result of two school projects.

Halo Discussion thread
Actually, if you're playing against someone who knows what they're doing, they won't stand still, they'll be moving back and forth. I also changed my word choice because I realized how arrogant I was being there. I'd say I'm good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I also don't go for a sniper in regular matches because I need to be in a certain mood to actually be good. As in, I've actually gotten immersed in the game enough. And Shadowfax, no need to apologize, the guys we were playing were pretty good. If any wants to play, I'll be online right now.

There goes half my future strategy. I guess I'll have to stick with Rest+Snore/Sleep Talk combos. There best not be any limitations to use of Rest. There aren't. If you do make a team, fight me some time... I'd love to get more testing for my team. :D I'm lacking a DS.

Halo
The assault rifle has become the worst weapon in Halo 3. What's even more annoying is that if it's an assault rifle vs. a battle rifle at close range, AR will win with the melee. BR is all about getting the 3-4 head shots to take out shields, then the final head shot for the kill. AR is just shoot in the enemies general direction, melee the first chance you get. I wish they would replace the AR with the SMG for a starter, or maybe a pistol, and increase the amount of BR's and AR's on map. You should be spawning near a BR or AR anyways.

Halo Discussion thread
Even better, the shift isn't all too dramatic, it's noticeable, but only because you end up talking about pez in a halo 3 thread. I just realized last night that I am actually pretty good with a sniper when I'm in the mood for it. The last 3 team Sniper games I've played (Only one of them was in the 2xp playlist) I had 20+ kills, highest score and k/d ratio. If you want proof, I was playing with Shadowfax for the last game. We lost, but only by 2. I guess all those days/nights having sticking/no scope free for alls on an empty and empty Foundry are starting to help now. I love winter, I can ski, it's hockey season, and for the most part I have an excuse to play Halo 3 all day. Avalanche/Sidewinder is the best map in the Halo series for Objective games

Pokemon Thread
An un-evolved Pokemon learns moves faster than it's evolved version, sometimes you will get moves exclusive to an evolved version (Sometimes exclusive to the un-evolved version), and you stats will be reduced (Not sure whether it's just an initial boost, or whether each level you gain extra stats). About the stats, unevolved Pokemon have lower base stats. Here are the base stats for Bulbasaur and it's evolutions, as an example. Bulbasaur 45 HP 49 Attack 49 Defense 65 Sp.Attack 65 Sp.Defense 45 Speed Ivysaur 60 HP 62 Attack 63 Defense 80 Sp.Attack 80 Sp.Defense 60 Speed Venesaur 80 HP 82 Attack 83 Defense 100 Sp.Attack 100 Sp.Defense 80 Speed[/hide] Something I never really got about base stats: will your Pokemon have those stats at a minimum, regardless of level, or are those the stats they will have, excepting EV's, at level 100? I remember reading somewhere that if you just got a Pokemon to 100 with Rare Candies you'd have the base stats. For an update on my progress of going through Crystal releasing any Pokemon that faint: 7 Badges, 22 hours played, 55/129 Pokedex; all 4 ruins of Alph puzzles completed; on my way to defeating Team Rocket; HM's 1-6 collected. Only a Ghastly has been released, and even then only because I forgot Growlithe knew Bite. My basic strategy is the opponent can't attack if they're asleep 8-) Unfortunately I haven't actually replaced that Ghastly I lost in Goldenrod City, so I'm only using a Noctowl and Poliwag for sleep. The other 4 Pokemon in my party are Feraligatr, Graveler, and two slaves for Strength, Fly, Flash and Rock Smash (I don't want to teach Fly to my Noctowl yet, haven't decided on the moveset). I also need a Pokemon that can learn Flash and Cut before I'm teaching Noctowl Fly. Can I also get a better explanation of the sleep clause? Does that mean I can only use Hypnosis or another similar move to put a Pokemon to sleep if that is the first time they have been put asleep? I know this only applies to PvP battles.

Kids on XBL/PSN/Online-Your stories here!
I got meet your maker after my friend quit a PRIVATE match I was playing him in. Also, it was my first game on Live for GHIII. I think they just give it to you after your first game on Live. There would not be enough Red Octane/Activision employees playing to make the achievement practical. Also, it would be based initially on luck. I think it should have been replaced with something else.

Kids on XBL/PSN/Online-Your stories here!
There's a difference between personally hating Jews and going along with the South Park trend of hating Jews. One makes you a Nazi, the other makes you a jerk. I really don't have any good Xbox Live story, aside from when I scared someone (Surprise scare) in Swords on Snowbound. I'm at the central ledge parallel to the tunnel to underground, see someone coming on my radar. I hide behind the ledge, and jump up at the right moment, so that I end up a couple inches away from the guy before I swing my sword. Unfortunately, the video doesn't record anything said on the mics. I heard a scream, followed by "Holy [Cabbage]". Oh yeah, I should mention that Swords is the best game type on Halo 3 (Bumper-Jumper button settings just for Swords).

Halo
[hide=Since it's part of the main plot, I'd say they're necessary]I'm almost certain that Cortana knew that the Ark was an installation foundry. Part of Mendicant Bias was trapped in High Charity's network (Or was it the Forerunner Dreadnought) and Cortana 'battled' Mendicant in order to delay the launch of the Dreadnought so that Chief could board it. I think this is the time that she learned or the Ark[/hide]

360 + Linux + WoW = WoW on the 360?
I have a feeling that Microsoft would solder the RAM in place, and not provide any extra slots for upgrades. After all, if they did that, too many people would mod 360's.

Today...
Since it is still Summer: Got up anytime between 9am-12pm. Go to sleep around 12am-1am. In between will eat, go on computer, play Xbox, or if I actually feel like doing something that day, hang out with a friend or two. Oh, and 2 days a week I'll walk the dog, once a week I'll cut the grass. Maybe even go for a bike ride. I hate Summer just because its a two-month holiday. I'd prefer something like having that broken down into a 1-month holiday, and 4 1-week holidays, with one of those weeks added on to March/Spring break. The other 3 spread evenly through the year. Or have it reversed and have a 2-month Winter holiday instead of a 2-week holiday. I have much more things to do in the Winter, I'm a cold person. Or even better, sacrifice 45-52 of my holiday-days to have 3-day weekends. I think that would be awesome.

Guitar Hero/Rock Band Discussion thread
I have so many -1 runs on SoML its not even funny. Its a bloody chokefest. Not a single hard bit in the whole song, but its just SO long. Yeah, the only reason I was able to stand playing it so much just for the FC was because it's one of my favourite songs on the game. Actually, it might be my favourite. I'm halfway to Enlightened Guitarist now :)

Guitar Hero/Rock Band Discussion thread
I have one Fire-star left for Hard. Knights of Cydonia, one of my least favourite songs on Guitar Hero. I'm usually good with fast sequences of strumming, but I just can't seem to get the right tempo. Oh well, at least I have only that left to do. EDIT: Also I finally FC'd Story of my Life, getting my first 400k+ score while I was at it. Coincidentally, this is my 666th post and I five starred Number of the Beast.

Halo Discussion thread
I liked it the first weekend it came out. I just happened to be at a friend's for his birthday, so there were a few other people. It was absolutely awesome to play with your 2/3 other teammates sitting right beside you. Now I just find it boring and at times useless, probably because I hate the hammer. Well in grifball you have no shields, so hammers here can get you from further out. Even more reason for me to hate it. Every time I try to play it for a Double XP weekend, I have to get used to the timing again. I love running with the ball, but I hate the fact that it's hammer only until someone is running with the ball.

Stupid Achievements Thread
The achievement is clearly meant to keep you playing. It wouldn't be hard at all, it would just take a hell of a long time. The only hard part about it would be getting it fast, a few weeks being fast. I would be lucky if I got it before I die the way I play GoW At least you can play Gears of War, my disc has been scratched for a think a year, the only reason I don't replace it is because I didn't think to do that until the beginning of the summer, at which point GoW2 was announced.

Offical NDS thread.
I've heard something about the R4 no longer being made. Is this true, or is there another reason an R4 may to hard to get right now.

What are you listening to right now!?
The Decline, by NOFX *Points to siggie* I absolutely love this song, and the band.

Pokemon Thread
I'm restarting my Crystal version, but to make it a challenge, I'm going to play it "Hardcore". If a Pokemon faints, I have to release it. Was going to mix in a challenge called Limited Items, but it would have made the Elite Four near impossible, and would require too much preparation for my liking.

Nintendo DS; To Buy or Not To Buy?
Don't use the quotes, unless someone changed the login. You can reset the router to factory settings by pressing the reset switch on the router. I realized that when I had done the double-post, I was able to access my router. I used "user" (Good enough I think since I don't need to change anything) and I know not to add the quotes. My security setting is currently at none, with options for WPA, WEP and WPA-PSK.

Nintendo DS; To Buy or Not To Buy?
After playing Pong in my head of whether my favour lies with the R4DS or the CycloDS Evolution, I have decided to settle on the Cyclo. The thing that made me really decide what the full download play support, and true drag 'n' drop feature. This review is what really made me choose sides once and for all; I'm willing to spend more for ease of use, simply because I can afford it. Now I just have to convince my parents to let me buy it #-o EDIT: The ping-pong is starting back up, mainly because I realized what download play actually was (I thought it was a major part of the game, turns out it won't even matter for me.

Nintendo DS; To Buy or Not To Buy?
WEP and WPA aren't connections, just an encryption type. To check what security you have enabled, you'll need to access your router. To access the router, you need to type in the IP address into your browser, like a regular link. The IP address is usually on a label on the router, although http://192.168.0.1/ might work. Depending on what router brand you have, the login information might be different. On my router, the default user name is admin, and the password field is left blank. Once you've logged in you'll need to find "wireless settings" or similar, and you should be able to find the security type. If you need more help, you can PM me or post here. EDIT: It would help a lot if you post your router brand and name. The name can also be found on the label or the box, if you still have it. D-Link DI 524. I knew exactly what you wre talking about because I was trying to forward my ports so I could host a game on Halo:CE Pc. PortForward.com tells me the username is "admin" and password field is left blank, but that doesn't work.
