I figure I should flex my writing muscle a bit after not using it in so long. And what better way to do it with random scripts?
If you feel the need to make a script of mine into a comic don't bother asking me about it; just credit me after the fact and maybe post a link to it in this topic. It'll inflate my ego a little.
With that intro outta the way, here's the first of what I hope to be many scripts that I write here.
--
Hello there, I'm just your average farmer. Today, I'm in a good mood. It's a beautiful day outside. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and some strange person breaking into my house and stealing my belongings.
...Hey, wait a minute.
Farmer: Hey! What are you doing with my stuff?
???: I kind of need this stuff.
Farmer: Like hell you do! You're just a common thief.
???: No really, I need this stuff to save the world.
Both the Farmer and the thieving hero stare at each other for a few seconds. The hero is holding a potion, which an average farmer wouldn't be using anyways.
Farmer: Well then, if you really need it to save the world. I'm not stopping you!
-A few minutes later-
Farmer: Look, I know I said you can take my stuff, but what do you need an HD TV for?
Hero: I'm actually wondering what kind of farmer has an HD TV in the first place.
-
A rich farmer? XD
Lol, even more so, why did the hero steal the HDTV too? 8D
Yep, we need more random script here. 8)
-
... LOL XD
Farmer, HDTV?
Man, he is rolling in money... XD
Same intro so far, can't wait to read more, if any. 8D
-
lol
Looks great so far, can't wait to read more, if any.
-
Heh, thanks for the kind word guys.
Here's another one, even though it's my birthday.
---
The Hero, in need of equipment, visits one of the many item shops that are scattered around the world. The Hero notes that all the shopkeepers look the same, so either they're all related or there's a horrible cloning experiment going on. The hero quickly disregards that and looks around the store. After finding a sword to his liking, he brings it up to the counter.
Hero: I'd like this sword, please.
Merchant: That'll be 420 gold!
Hero: Uh, it's not that I don't have the gold, but why are you charging someone who's going to save the world?
Merchant: The economy is troubling, so I have to make what I can.
Hero: What are you talking about? Everyone is going about thier lives, unaware of the evil that lurks! The economy couldn't be better!
Merchant: Yes, but the king has put into place some very high taxes on us item shop owners. You should try the other stores.
Hero: What other stores? Every town I go to there's only one item shop, and it seems to belong to one of your siblings every time!
Merchant: Be that as it may, the sword still costs 420 gold.
The Hero and Merchant stare each other down for a couple of seconds. The Hero then grumbles as he reluctently pulls out the needed gold.
Hero: Here's your gold. I hope you're the first to go when the apocalypse hits.
Merchant: Thank you, come again!
Hero: Of course I'll come again since your family runs the ONLY GOD DAMN STORE.
The Hero later found a secret passage way into the shop's storage room. The Hero looted the room with impuinity, as he normally does, but with an incredible lack of guilt.
-
Those bastards! it's always like that! sometimes they even charge more, for some item as common as "ribbon"!
Lol the last line is feels so fulfilling! XD nice I love it!
-
Just to repeat myself: If you guys ever feel the urge to make a comic from these scripts, do it. Not only do I not care if you do, but I encourage it. Just give me credit on the final product.
And now, another script.
---
The Hero finds himself in a forest. He walks along a calm looking path and notices a glowing spot on the ground. Usually he stops here and rests for the night. But for some reason after stepping on the glowing spot he keeps going. He is then ambushed by a General of the faction that he's fighting against.
General: We knew you would be going through Generic Forest to get to Typical Capital, Hero!
Hero: You cowardly bastard! You would ambush me as I am weary and weak? Have you no shame!?
General: Of course I have shame! Normally I wouldn't condone such cowardly tactics, but you are a special case. You have been a thorn in my side for far too long!
Hero: Are you going to keep this banter up or are we going to fight?
General: If you have a death wish, by all means, I will be obligied to grant it!
The Hero and General fight. The Hero manages to match the General blow for blow. But the Hero slows down midway into the fight, as the poison from the last monster he fought is starting to affect him. The General takes this opportunity to deliver the finishing blow. The Hero's vision begins to fade, eventually blacking out.
...So this is death.
The hero sees a white light. Instinctively, he heads towards the light. Ah, this must be the way to heaven.... How wonderous.
The Hero wakes up, standing on the glowing spot he stood on before.
Hero: Huh? I'm... Alive?
The Hero remembers what caused his death, and heals his poison before hand. He goes down the path as normal, when the General ambushes the Hero as before.
General: We knew you would be going through Generic Forest to get to Typical Capital, Hero!
Hero: You know, I would say that you're a coward, but I'm a special case so such a tactic must be used against me, right?
General: *Surprised* Uh, yes.. It appears you understand your situation.
Hero: Whatever, let's just fight.
The fight begins as normal. The Hero is in better shape than he was last time, so he fights longer than the first time he fought the general. However, he is still a bit tired, so he ends up getting killed again...
This loop continues for another seven times...
General: We knew you-
The Hero stabs the General piercing his heart, killing him. The hero then walks off (but not before looting the body of course.) He looks back at the now dead General who killed him nine times already.
Hero: [tornado fang] YOU.
The Hero walks off to Typical Capital to continue his journey.
-
Awesome, so that's how saving your file would work in real life XD
Don't stop writing. Btw, did you keep what you wrote before the crash? I really liked it.
-
You mean the whole LazyMan thing? I don't think I did, but I'll take a look later.
Even if I did, I'll probably make some changes to it. Make it better.
-
Awesome...
Looting, the way of the hero... XD
And lol at the whole savepoint thing, great read man, great read.
Even if I did, I'll probably make some changes to it. Make it better.
But... You are too lazy for that!
Just lazily repost it! 8D
-
But... You are too lazy for that!
Just lazily repost it! 8D
This is probably true. 8D
-
Lol, Save point parody this time! nice! XD
-
A new script, which still keeps to this RPG theme I somehow started and kept.
Oh, and I found the old LazyMan stuff. I'm holding off on posting that for now until I can flesh out LazyMan's story some more. Plus I have a new idea for a story that I don't want to lose while I still have it fresh in my mind. I'm calling it "The Seven" for now.
Anyways, here's the script. And remember to obey the urge to comic these if you ever get it, I don't mind.
---
The Hero is walking along typical capital talking to the townsfolk and gathering information. All of which has been either moderatly useful or painfully obvious. Then there's the advice that doesn't make a lick of sense.
Random Guy: If you press and hold the B button you can run really fast! Just by looking at you, I bet you can run even in mud!
Hero: ...Did, you just stutter? What button?
Random Guy: You know, the B button, man.
Hero: I heard you the first time. Stop stuttering. What button are you talking about?
Random Guy: I'm not stuttering, man. I'm talking about the Bee (with extra emphasis on the "bee") button.
Hero: Oh, I got you. So it's a button with a "B" on it?
Random Guy: You got it man!
Hero: ...So where the hell is this button?
Random Guy: It's nowhere and somewhere at the same time.
Hero: That's stupid... And what was that about me being able to run through mud?
Random Guy: You've got the leg muscle for it, man.
The Hero covers up his legs
Hero: WHY were you looking at my legs?!
Random Guy: I was just checking to see if you were a good runner, man.
The Hero has had just enough of this blabbering loon. Without another word the Hero walks away. It's fine, since the random people he meets don't follow him when he leaves for some reason. The villager doesn't take the hint, and yells after the hero.
Random Guy: Remember to press the B button to run!
Hero: Why would I need to press a button just to run?! [tornado fang]ing moron.
However, shortly after leaving the Hero found that all he could do was walk, no matter what he tried.
-
XD XD XD
Mah boi! This humor is what all true entertainers strife for.
Indeed it is! You sure know how to write these funny parodies. 8)
-
And shortly after leaving, the hero tried to run, but all his legs could do was walk 8D
-
That would be a perfect ending! XD
-
And shortly after leaving, the hero tried to run, but all his legs could do was walk 8D
After seeing this, I so wish I would have ended it like that.
-
LOL at more fourth wall humour. XD
PRESS THE B BUTTON TO RUN!
-
Those guys are always annoying.
-
Here's another script, thanks to Hitomi for giving me the idea. 8D
---
The Hero leaves Typical Capital for Moist Swamp a little closer to finishing his quest of rescuing Princess Damsel Endistress. The Hero wonders why anyone would name their daughter that, but quickly disregards that as sludge monsters appear from the swap.
Hero: Begone foul demons!
And the battle began as thus. The Hero often wished the monsters he encountered would provide witty banter, but sadly most of the monsters he meets only growled in response to his death threats.
With his enemies vanquished the Hero continues through the trail. From behind the trees thieves jumped out in front of the Hero.
Thief: Hand over yer gold, or we'll cut ya up reel gewd!
Hero: The only one being cut up is you, you horribly confused person!
The Hero wondered what the hell thieves were doing in a swamp, but disregarded that and slayed the thieves. Continuing on the trail he felt the wind pick up as a dragon landed on a dry clearing in the swamp.
Hero: Wait, what the hell is a dragon doing in a swamp?!
While the Hero was strong, he was no match for a full sized dragon at his level. Without a second thought he ran back to Typical Capital and hid in the inn. There he talked to a villager about the dragon he encountered in the swamp.
Villager: While you don't have much of a chance of finding one, dragons can be found almost anywhere in the world, even swamps! To avoid encounters with monsters it's best to move in a weaving pattern so they can't attack you.
Hero: I see. I'll have to remember that.
Villager: ...So, did you press the B button to run back here?
Hero: Oh lord, not you again!
-
you're welcome :P
-
Lol, everyone just look same don't they. XD
-
New script, this time moving away from the RPG theme. It's based off of this (http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj74/borockman/waiting.png) picture and the conversation following it.
---
Rina, Borock's sister sits inside the local diner. She sighs as she glances at the clock on the wall.
Rina: He's late.
Rina drummed her fingers on the counter. A waitress brings Rina the water she ordered moments ago. At first the waitress was about to ask Rina what's wrong, then she looked surprised as she looked behind her. Rina turned around to see what the waitress was looking at; it was him.
Guy: Er, sorry I'm late.
Rina: I'll bet you were napping again, LazyMan.
LazyMan swallowed sharply. Rina looked pissed. However, LazyMan has a story prepared which should calm her down.
LazyMan: Now, I'm sure you think I was napping, but I was actually fighting crime.
Rina raised an eyebrow.
Rina: You, fight crime? That's hard to believe.
Lazy: No really! I was on my way here when I saw someone jaywalking and-
Rina: Jaywalking?! That's the crime you were fighting?!
Lazy: Well, yeah, he was becoming a danger to himself and those around him. You should have SEEN the traffic!
Rina: I just saw the traffic, it's very calm with very few cars in the road.
Lazy: Yeah, but this was an hour ago, I even brought the guy-
Rina: Enough, just get out of here. I'll go home by myself.
Lazy: But-
Rina: Just leave me alone!
LazyMan's shoulders slump as he walked out the door. Someone was waiting for him.
Random Guy: So she was pissed?
Lazy: Very. She wouldn't even hear me out and meet you!
Random Guy: ...So, did you press the B-
Lazy: God damnit, shut up about the B Button! I'll press it to run later.
-
Lol, the ending caught me by surprise. XD
Btw, she's home now, and crying. Hmmm, I think I know who's the culprit... *crack knuckles*
-
It actually isn't my fault.
Go beat up the Random Guy. He won't shut up about that damned B Button.
-
Lol, that actually give me some inspiration.
-
Go beat up the Random Guy. He won't shut up about that damned B Button.
I shall. That guy pisses me off so much. lol
-
Revenge of Random Guy/Villager... XD
And you, making Rina cry... Tisk, tisk...
Great reads again Laze.
-
You're even too lazy to type Lazyman now DWII!? <- oh so ironic. 8D
-
oh so ironic. 8D
So very much so.
-
What?
That's my nick for him. :P
Plus, I'm his official scribe, it rubs off sometimes. 8D
-
Not really a script, per se, but more of a rant.
I don't know if I'll keep doing rants after this one, so it'll be more of a trial period than anything else, so feedback will be very important with this one.
---
Today's Rant Topic: Splenda.
You probably know of this product's existence, but for those who are uninformed (besides asking what kind of rock they've been living under) it's basically a sugar substitute that's made with sugar and is supposed to be better tasting and better for you.
What I'm wondering is how can something be a substitute for something else when that substitute is made with the very thing that it's supposed to substitute. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a substitute?
That's like making a meat substitute and making it out of meat.
Yes, Splenda isn't really sugar but the fact that it's made with sugar in the first place kind of feels odd to me. Not sure why.
-
Funny, I've really never heard of it... XD
And... LOL.
-
Non sugar made out of sugar? now I've heard everything! XD
Keep ranting my man!
-
A script I made up just now based upon this picture (http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj74/borockman/lolhorror.png) that Borockman drew.
---
Boy: Boy, it sure is great to be able to walk in the halls without getting raped.
Boy: Shock!
Boy: With my incredibly convenient super eye sight I can clearly see that girl is very gloomy!
Girl: I watch you when you pee.
Boy: OH SHI-
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not when I pee!
Nice one Laze. XD
-
Boy: OH SHI-
I think she likes me. *blush*
-
For some reason, that makes me think of the movie IP Man. :\
-
Here's another rant, the topic has to do with the holiday we're celebrating today.
---
Today's Rant Topic: Valentine's Day Bitterness.
I'm a very bitter person when it comes to Valentine's Day.
It's not just because I don't have a girlfriend, but it's a good reason I'm bitter. It's the fact that Valentine's Day is constantly advertised as a couple's holiday, and if you're single you can just bugger off while the couples have their fun. It's gotten to the point where I won't even treat Valentine's Day as a holiday anymore. And if I do acknowledge it as a holiday, I call it "Single's Awareness Day."
Why? Because I'm never more aware of my single status then on this day. In fact for some odd reason I can't help but remember my failures in playing this game of love.
Now don't get me wrong, my attitude might change when I do eventually get a girlfriend, but god damnit, I hate this holiday. Not the people who celebrate it, per se, but if you're annoying about being in a couple then you'll go on the list of reasons I hate this holiday.
For all you singles out there, Happy Single's Awareness Day. Hopefully that'll change next year.
For all you couples out there, Happy Valentine's Day. Good luck in the future.
For all the companys that benefit from this holiday: [tornado fang] YOU. Especially you Hallmark.
-
For all you singles out there, Happy Single's Awareness Day. Hopefully that'll change next year.
...
Thanks for reminding me... ;O;
-
Well, I never cared much for Valentine's Day anyways, but that's an interesting perspective you have. Over here it's the Day of Love and Friendship, not Valentine's, so you can go do stuff with your other single friends instead of going out with a girlfriend anyways :P
-
For all you singles out there, Happy Single's Awareness Day. Hopefully that'll change next year.
Hopefully. Hmm, I doubt it though.
-
Oh, looks like I opened some old wounds. My bad.
Anyways, new script. Playing Persona 4 gave me the idea for this one.
Also, a new character.
---
The Hero, feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of facing a dragon randomly he decided it was time for some help. He went to the local tavern looking to add someone to his party. Maybe a Mage knowledgeable in destructive magic or maybe a Healer that is useless in all aspects of battle except for support and wearing skimpy clothing. Unfortunatly, all the other heroes had come before him and taken everyone with those skills instead he got stuck with a young female thief. Sure, she's got the skimpy clothing going with a short skirt, but Hero is sure that she tried to steal his wallet on a couple of occasions.
Soon the Thief proved herself by helping the Hero out on more than one occasion. She's even managed to steal some decent items from enemies in the last couple of battles.
Hero: You know, maybe I was wrong about you before. You're not so bad after all.
Thief: Of course. I may be a thief, but I'm still loyal to whoever I work for... Which brings me to this point, you don't look so good boss.
Hero: What are you talking about, I'm perfectly fin-
Magical Text Box: Now that she mentions it, you are feeling a little dizzy now.
Hero: Huh. Strange. I didn't notice that before. You're right, I don't feel so good.
Magical Text Box: Now you want to reward Thief for her kindness with some gold, and reach for your wallet.
Hero: I do? Well, you've never steered me wrong voice in my head.
The Hero hands The Thief a few gold coins who then escorts him to a nearby inn. After the Hero falls asleep the Thief chuckles to herself, holding a Magic Marker.
Thief: Once you figure out how they tick, Heroes are easy to scam.
-
Oh man, you can hack speech box now? Man, I don't think I can believe in speech bubble anymore. 8D
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF indeed... XD
Now that's a marker I want to get... XD
-
I knew there was something up with those text boxes recently..
-
New script.
I should make fun of other genres of games, these RPG ones just write themselves.
---
After a good rest at the Inn, Hero and Thief once again venture into the swamp. They've been walking down the path for a good half hour when a monster jumps out at them. The Hero recognises it immediately from his earlier experiences.
Hero: Hey! That's a rat! I remember killing a [parasitic bomb] load of those for money, and to train my weak ass self.
The Hero sighs as he reminences
Hero: Ah, those were the days.
Thief: Be careful, this monster looks dangerous.
Hero: Huh? But it's just a rat. I've killed thousands of them before.
Thief: But this is a WereRat!
Hero: ...What's the difference?
Thief: It's much stronger than a regular rat, and has a slight chance at confusing it's victims when it attacks!
Hero: That can't be right, it just looks like a rat.
Thief: Look closely, its fur is red.
Hero: ...Yeah, and your point being?
Thief: That's how you know it's a Wererat.
Hero: But it looks like a ra-
Thief: Look, it's a Wererat. End of story.
Hero reluctantly accpts this fact. The Wererat is then slain without much effort on Hero and Thief's part.
Hero: So it was just a rat!
Thief: ...No, it was a Wererat.
Hero: Well, I'll still consider it a rat with red fur, because it was so easy to kill.
Thief: Whatever, wait until you face a FeralRat.
Hero: Lemme guess, it's a yellow rat?
Thief: Green, actually.
Hero: Wow, that's actually kind of lazy.
The graphic artist in charge of the in game enemies sheds a single tear.
-
Lol, graphic designer, always swapping color. 8D
Hmm, the Thief is still joining the hero party? how? even after the text box hax incident?
-
Hero doesn't even know about it.
And I needed to introduce a female character into these scripts, it's a sausage fest as is.
-
Lol point taken. XD
Some small request, how about writing something about Disney Note? :D
-
Some small request, how about writing something about Disney Note? :D
YUS XD
And I really pity the graphic designer, so under-appreciated... 8D
-
Aww, poor graphic artist. Have the heroes ever thought about the memory limitations and stuff? D:
And I needed to introduce a female character into these scripts, it's a sausage fest as is.
Unfortunatly, all the other heroes had come before him and taken everyone with those skills instead he got stuck with a young female thief. Sure, she's got the skimpy clothing going with a short skirt, but Hero is sure that she tried to steal his wallet on a couple of occasions.
What sausage fest?
Some small request, how about writing something about Disney Note? :D
Thirded
-
Before I introduced Thief into the scripts there were only men.
Also, here's that script that Borockman requested. I'm going to continue it since the idea of Disney Note makes me laugh.
---
Two distinct genious minds colliding is never a good thing. Not very pretty for all involved. Egos come into play, and the whole thing just goes to hell.
Such is the case with this match up: Donald "Da Don" Duck vs. Mickey "M" Mouse.
Both sides are unaware as to who the other is, or just what they are capable of. Without knowing that, however, both sides are poised to kill each other.
However, Donald has an ace up his non-existent sleeve..
Donald: I have the power of the Death Note on my side...
Goryuk: Garash, isn't it a bit unwise to announce your trump card so openly.
Donald: You don't need to worry. To everyone around me, I'm just an honor student.
Goryuk: Never thought you'd be an honor anything...
Donald: Hey! Stay in character!
Goryuk: Sorry.
Donald: Anyways, what M doesn't realize is that I have the power of the death gods- a shinigami, on my side! He cannot win!
Donald has a good laugh. Meanwhile, at a nearby undisclosed location.
M: These are the police officiers involved with Da Don investigation, correct?
Wadsworth: Indeed they are.
M: Keep a close surveilence on them and their familys. I have a hunch that could lead us to Da Don.
Wadsworth: As you like, sir.
M: Da Don... I'll capture you yet.
...
Daisy: When is it going to be Daisy Daisy's turn?!
Author: Oh god get her away from me!
-
Poor Daisy Daisy, but I can see why they'd treat her like that XD
-
Lol, now imagine the dialog in their respective voice, double the fun! 8D
-
Another script.
This time I'm making fun of another genre for once. OH BOY. :D

After months of training, The Kung Fu Kid sets out for his first martial artist tournament held be an excessivly rich CEO of an excessivly powerful company. Nothing supicious about that, no sir.
Anyways, Kung Fu Kid has made it to the top, even beating his old mentor along the way! He felt good going into the final round. Kung Fu Kid was surprised to see that his final opponent would be the CEO himself.
CEO: I'm sure you know the rules by now; best two out of three.
K.F.K: Uh, sure. But are you really going to fight?
CEO: Yes. I'm not afraid of a little friendly compition.
The Kung Fu Kid shrugs. Well, might as well go easy on the old guy so as to not hurt his feelings so much. Unfortunatly for the CEO, Kung Fu Kid forgot how to go easy on people. The first round went to the Kung Fu Kid. Concerned, the Kung Fu Kid checked up on the CEO.
K.F.K: Hey, are you alright?
CEO: Yes... In fact, I could never have felt better.
Suddenly, a dark aura surrounds the CEO. Kung Fu Kid felt it almost instantly. The CEO is being filled with an overwhelming power! He was excited to be able to fight someone so strong, but at the same time fearful for his life.
CEO: If I recall, we still have two rounds left...
Kung Fu Kid: And only one more if I win.
CEO: Yes, if you win.
The Kung Fu Kid was perplexed by why the CEO emphasised the word "if", but soon paid it no mind when the match started. Kung Fu Kid was overwhelmed. It was like the CEo was a different person! He even knew all the techniques of everyone in the tournament! And he teleported! The Kung Fu Kid lost both rounds following his first win.
CEO: Heh, come back in 50 years, kid.
The continue countdown began. Kung Fu Kid didn't lose hope! He could surely beat this crazed CEO! Surely!
...Thirty Five attempts later.
K.F.K: Okay, you're obviously cheating somehow.
CEO: I have SNK Boss Syndrom, I'm supposed to be like this.
K.F.K: [tornado fang].
-
SNK Boss Syndrome... I would like to have that too... XD
And Disney Note IS AWESOME!
And yeah, reading it in their voices makes it even more enjoyable... XD
-
Another script.
This time I'm making fun of another genre for once. OH BOY. :D
Inspired by Street Fighter IV? XD
-
Maybe.
In a totally unrelated topic, Seth can go to hell.
Posted on: February 20, 2009, 10:37:57 AM
So yeah, a friend of mine started up a comic recently. The first comic is right here. (http://punkrosta.deviantart.com/art/The-Great-Clocktower-Mystery-113725603) I've seen the other stuff he has planned for this comic, and it's pretty good. So you should watch him closely as he posts comics.
Eventually he'll do comic versions of my scripts, so that's something too.
Oh yeah, I have a deviantart page too. (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/)
Also, a new script.
---
Space Marine John spends a mass majority of his days fighting an ancient force that wishes to destroy all known life in the galaxy.
Today, he spends his days training the new recruits.
S.M.J: I'm sure that you've mastered how your advanced suit works by now, so I'm going to skip that part of the training and teach you the basics of war fare.
A recruit already raises his hand. Space Marine John would have normally called the recruit stupid for already having a question. But the higher ups told him to be nice... Space Marine John rolls his eyes.
S.M.J: Yes, newbie?
Recruit #1: What do we do about spawn campers?
S.M.J: Spawn what?
Recruit #2: Don't start bitching about spawn camping because you suck and you don't have skills!
Recruit #3: Bullshit! Spawn camping is a cheap tactic and you know it!
Recruit #4: It's a legitimate strategy!
The recruits than began arguing amongst themselves. Space Marine John slowly walked out of the room leaving the recruits to their own devices. The higher ups can do this crap themselves, Space Marine John just needed to get the [tornado fang] out of there.
-
Ah, spawn campers...
I think I'm one of them. XD
-
Wow I'm all caught up man were those kinda funny. Oh by the way your friend who made the comic has a spelling mistake in his sig.
-
Oh by the way your friend who made the comic has a spelling mistake in his sig.
Don't bring it up to him, it's funnier that way.
-
Don't bring it up to him, it's funnier that way.
Got it.
-
Here's another comic (http://punkrosta.deviantart.com/art/Hammer-Bros-113965496). This time it's about BRAWL.
No script right now, but I should be able to do one tonight or tommorow.
-
Hmm...
LET ME BE THE FIRST TO WATCH JOO!
Ahem, and those are some rather funny comics your friend does. :3
-
No script, because I'm a lazy bastard.
Instead, here's a rant.
Possibly NSFW due to possible innuendo. Possibly.
---
Today's Rant Topic: Confusing Advertising.
I don't think everyone has seen the comercial I'm going to rant about, so I'll describe it. It's been running on Comedy Central for a while now, and I just now felt like ranting about it.
The comercial starts off in an office setting. Okay, maybe they're advertising some office supplies. You then see a scantally clad secretary that looks like she could've come out of a porno (Not that I've seen any, she just had that porny look) complete with cleveage and really short mini skirt.
Okay, my interest is peaked. Then you get a shot of inside somebody's office. He presses on the intercom, calling the secretary saying "it's time." The secretary stands up and enters the office.
Here's where things get confusing and NSFW. You then see the back of the chair of the guy's office you saw earlier. Except this time there is a lot of shaking. He's saying things like "So fast..." and "I feel it! I feel it!" eventually the shaking knocks over a picture of what can be presumed as the guy's wife further hinting at a possible office romance. As if the secretary out of a porn movie didn't hint this enough, but that's not the point.
Turns out, the presumed "service" the secretary was thought to be giving wasn't actually that at all. It was the advertising of an energy drink. Not just any energy drink either, but the 6 Hour Energy drink.
And to be honest, the guy isn't dressed any better than the secretary. His shirt is way too tight for its own good.
He then finishes the comercial saying "Now I'm ready!" while facing the secretary.
...Okay, what the [tornado fang] was that?
If you really wanted to advertise an energy drink, why not do so in a not so porn like environment? I don't think I ever want to buy this energy drink after seeing a comercial like that (not that I every would, but that's not the point.). Obviously, the comercial is geared towards those who work in the office. That much is clear from the setting. But the glaringly obvious porn overtones just overpowers the whole office aspect and makes the energy drink seem like a product for a porn star.
And what the hell was he ready for? The porn that they were probably going to film that day? Hopefully someone can clear this up for me, because this comercial confuses the [parasitic bomb] out of me.
-
O_o
Now that's some commerical...
I can't really related, due to not seeing this at all, but man, that does sound sinful. 8D
-
Honestly, this next script can apply to just about any game, but I like messing with Hero so I'll continue to do so. 8D
Also, a new character is thrown into the mix.
---
Hero and Thief braved through the swamp full of deadly creatures... But Hero was angry because the dragon that attacked him the first time and made him get a partner (which stole most of his gold) didn't show up again.
Hero: God damnit!
Thief: Hey, don't complain about not running into a dragon in a swamp.
Hero: The first time I was surprised, but now I actually want it to happen.
Thief: That would explain why you went in and out of the swamp those couple hundred times.
Player holding the controller: Hey, I just found out it was for a super special ultra awesomely rare sword! I forget the name of it, but I'm pretty sure it's Japanese.
Player: ...Oh right, they're not going to answer me back.
Hero: The point is, I wanted to fight that damn dragon again!
Thief: I'm sure you'll get another chance.
Hero: Good point! Now, onwards!
The screen goes black, with the voice of Thief instructing the player to insert the next disk.
Thief: Please insert disk 2...
Player: Normally getting up to do something is troublesome, but I like this game. So I'll get up to put in the next disk...
The Player gets up and switches the disks in the consoles. Seconds later, Thief's voice comes on again.
Thief: Please insert disk 3.
Player: What? But I just swit-
Thief: Please insert disk 3!
Player: But I ju-Hey wait a second...
Thief: Meep, I've been caught!
The screen goes back to the overworld, with the Player scratching his head in confusion.
-
Now Thief wants to con Player as well? XD
And lol at the walking in and out a couple of hundred times part... So true... XD
-
New script with a Megaman theme.

Supah Faighting Rowbot: Script 1
Zero isn't really a morning person. That much is evident by his bad mood. Not only was he abruptly woken up, but now the first thing he has to do after waking up is protect the girl who woke him up in the first place.
All the while getting shot by cannon fodder because his skills are rusty.
Zero: I got out of bed for this?
Ciel: But you weren't-
Zero: I wasn't talking literally. Jesus.
Zero is still getting shot by the cannon fodder. This would be easy by himself, but he has a useless person following him.
Zero: Don't you at least have a gun?
Ciel: I'm a scientist; I don't fight.
Zero grumbles. Then he gets killed by another shot from cannon fodder.
Zero: I [tornado fang]ing HATE escort missions!
-
I can't wait to see how he reacts to the desert mission 8D
-
CIEL IS INVINCIBLE!
Zero should have noticed by then... 8D
-
Crap, I haven't made a script in a coupe weeks.
Well, no parody this time. Just a mini-blog which could describe how I've felt for the last couple of weeks.
---
Laze: Ugh, I feel like crap. But I still need to go to school. Time to take cold medicine.
-A couple days later-
Laze: I'm coughing far too much.
Laze then goes into a coughing fit, which lasts for a few minutes.
Laze: Time to take the cold medicine. *cough*
-The End of the Week-
Laze: Wow! I'm actually starting to feel better!
LazyMan holds up a copy of Resident Evil 5.
Laze: And I got Resident Evil 5! Awesome!
-In the Middle of the Following Week-
Laze: What the hell? I just got over being sick! I don't wanna get sick again!
LazyMan sobs in a corner
Laze: Oh well, at least it's the end of my school week...
--
...Yeah, I promise I'll write a parody the next update.
-
Minus the purchase of Resident Evil 5, I know how you feel. Worse yet, try being almost bed-ridden sick for most of your spring break. Being sick sucks sometimes. :(
-
Oh, I know that feeling...
Still, get well soon, the place needs more dust. 8D
-
Oh, I know that feeling...
So do I. It happens to me... all the time.
-
For me, it's been happening more frequently recently.
-
Well, I lied about posting a parody this time. Instead you get a rant.
Lots of swearing in this one, thank god for that censor. I wouldn't want to corrupt those young impressionable minds ...Yeah, I actually would like to corrupt those young impressionable minds. Better me than someone else who actually has to try..
Also contains spoilers. Read at yer own risk. Don't blame me later because you don't read the little bit before the word art.
Oh yeah, I take requests now. Either hit me up here, PM, or the rare times I'm on IRC.

Today's Rant Subject: REZIDUNT EVUL FAAAAAAAIVE.
So I got Resident Evil 5 recently. Fun game. Almost as fun as 4 was. Now I don't know about you, but I'm kind of pissed off when it concerns this game.
No, it's not because of anything cheap in the game. The game itself is fine. It's that fans that [acid burst] me off.
What with their "Resident Evil is DEEEEEAD", and "THIS ISN'T RESIDENT EVIL." and "Pay for versus mode?! What the [tornado fang]?" and my favorite (Also spoilerific) "Chris moves a rock by punching it? He's obviously on Steroids!" I have one thing to say to all of that.
[tornado fang]. YOU.
Yes, I know most of the stuff in RE5 is over the top, but so was RE4. Remember that laser room? No person would be able to perfectly calculate how the lasers would move and not die in the short time that Leon did. Chris punching a rock just shows how determined he is. Plus it's been ten years since we last saw Chris. Couldn't it be possible that he hit the gyms in that time?
Also, people complained about what happened to Jill. Yeah, I can agree that Capcom turned her into a crappy plot device, but at least she was in the game. We don't hear about anyone else in the game.
As for the Versus mode, Capcom isn't forcing you to buy anything. This was obviously something that Capcom probably thought close to shipping the game and didn't have time to put the versus mode onto the disk. Would you rather have RE5 delayed for a versus mode that's probably going to suck? Again, you don't have to buy it. Although complaining about paying for a versus mode is like complaining about any added content (Take for example, Fallout 3's Operation Anchroage): It's retarded since it isn't mandatory to purchase it. Quit your bitching and not buy the versus mode.
Resident Evil 5 is still a Resident Evil game. Those bitching about that have no right to decide whether it is or not. It's the creator's job. Whether you like it or not, it's a Resident Evil game. Plus, RE5 is going to be the last game of it's kind. So congrats, RE6 isn't going to follow the RE4-5 formula anymore.
If you think about it, the orignal Resident Evil games were about surviving a mansion full of zombies and other creatures that don't make a bit of sense.
Expecting the story/actions the characters take to actually make sense, you're playing the wrong series, dumbass.
*Note: That last line wasn't aimed at anyone here in general.
-
Hmm, so there are distractors...
Oh well, nice rant, to put those in their place.
-
I think I agree, but you forgot to adress all the "lol no shooting and moving at the same time? THIS GAME SUCKS LOLOLOLOLOLOL" XD
Also

If the DLC is only a 100 something KB unlock key then they have a reason to complain, that'd mean that it is already in the disc in it's just locked away from you until you pay extra =/
-

That would be shooting retared fish in a barrell. I have my standards when I shoot fish in a barrell.
Also

The versus mode wasn't announced until recently. So it's not like Capcom had a lot of time to code it onto the disk. It's like a Halo 3 Map Pack or the Fallout 3 DLC.
-
So? That does not mean it was not finished with the rest of the game.
-
Point.
However, it's versus mode for a Resident Evil game. That sounds like an awesome idea. sarcasm, I'm using it.
A deathmatch type of game for Resident Evil is about as good an idea as an Uwe Boll movie.

This script is based of this Comic (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn194/Akira_Corp/Shmup.png) that Akira drew.
Hey, when I can't draw as well as Akira this is the best I can do for Fan Art.
The script goes from panel to panel, so what's happening in the script is relative to the actual comic.

Girl: Ku ku ku.
Bunny Thing: Don't say it. Please for the love of Toriyama, don't say it.
Girl: You're too sloooooow!
Bunny Thing: God damnit. She said it.
Girl: Come on, step it up!
Cannon(Yes cannons talk, shut up): Oh, I'll step it up alright..
Cannon: Step it right up your ass!
Girl: Huh? A loud noise interupted my gloating.
Girl: OH NOOOOOO! Now I'm never going to get my deposit back on that broom!
Bunny: They don't pay me enough for this [parasitic bomb].
Akira: Oh nooooo!
Akira: I got too cocky.
Cannon 1: We don't know what "overkill" means!
Cannon 2: No seriously, we don't know what it means. Please tell us.
-
Heh, I would say that whoever operates the cannons is the one speaking, but the cannons speaking by themselves is funnier XD
-
Good old shumpy action...
Overkill is the best... 8D
Nice little script there Laze, and cannons need to talk more. 8D
-
Yeah, I got nada to post here in terms of scripts, but I do have a news update.
I'm now accepting Art Trade requests. You draw me something, I write a script based on what you want it to be about (Keep it clean, people).
If you're interested, hit me up either here, Deviantart or SheezyArt (Both Sheezy and Deviant accounts go by "TeaOfJay").
My next post will have a script of some sort. I promise.
-
So the script you'll draw will be based on the drawing, or whatever we choose?
Anyways, when I get the chance to scan my stuff, I'll try to give you something. It won't be that good anyways, I'm not as talented as everyone else XD
-
Holy [parasitic bomb] I haven't done anything in a while.
Anyways, to answer your question a long ass time later Taiyo, yes, that's generally what I'll do. You draw something based on my scripts (Or you can add to them) and I'll write about it (Or something else you wanna see me write. Keep it clean, please.)
And now a short.

Hero and Thief barely have any heath points and are currently facing down with a very fierce Dragon.
Hero: This is our last shot...!
Hero charges some energy into his sword. With a yell he slashes with his sword, sending a shockwave of energy at the Dragon's neck. Not only does it connect, it actually cuts off the dragon's head unlike the 38 other times Hero did this attack.
With the Dragon slain Hero starts dacing the celebrate his victory. Thief just looks at him funny.
Thief: What are you doing?
Hero: I earned this victory dance.
Thief: Only losers would dance over something like this.
The player who was also doing a similar dance slowly sits back down into his chair.
Player: Well now I feel bad since the game insulted me.
-
lol, poor Hero/Player XD
What victory dance would that be? The classic Final Fantasy victory dance?
-
Generally ANY victory dance, really.
FYI, when you see "Player" or "Author" in my scripts I'm referring to myself.
Self insertion FTW.
-
I SO can see the player dancing to this tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NsnLfIAcs&fmt=18)... 8D
And don't you just hate those smartass characters? XD
-
I SO can see the player dancing to this tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NsnLfIAcs&fmt=18)... 8D
Hero: You just got Pwned. EEF. TEE. DOUBLE U.
Thief: OH JUST STOP IT.
Hero: Sad Face. D:
-
See?
So appropriate. 8D
-
It would be better if Thief wasn't such a wet blanket about these things.
And she stopped trying to steal my wallet.
-
But then if she did that...
She wouldn't be a Thief! 8D
-
Correct, but there are other wallets she could steal...for example *takes Wily's wallet* 8D *runs away*

Since the DSi came out today, and I was dumb enough to wait until midnight to buy one, I thought I would post a review about it.
Be catious. This is the first review I've done in a while.
---
The Nintendo DSi: A review.
The DSi is slightly smaller than the DS Lite, but it's also slightly wider. Due to that wideness, the screens are also slightly, but noticeably bigger. The finish of the DSi, while not as smooth as the Lite, doesn't collect smudges and handprints like the Lite does. In fact, I would go as far as to say that holding the DSi feels better than the Lite.
Unlike it's older brothers, the DSi features three lights: One for when it's charging, One for when Wireless Connection (Which you can turn off in the DSi system settings), and one for when it's on. For when it's on there are three things you need to look for regarding to how much battery you have left: When it's blue, that means it has a good portion of its battery left. When it's red, the battery is low, but you can still play. When the red light is blinking, then you know it's really low.
Now, onto how things actually work. The camera and sound recorder work like you would expect and have been told it works. The picture quaility on the DSi is nice and smooth, so much unlike cameras on cell phones. You can mess with the picture while and after taking it. Sadly, you can't mess with the sound while you're recording it, but it's funny to hear myself as a trumpet.
The DSi is still region free, meaning if you've got import games then it'll still play. However, there was this one time where I tried to load up Ouendan and it wouldn't let me play. I tried the import copy of Phoenix Wright 2, which worked, and every import game after that worked like nothing had happened.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I felt I should report it.
The touch screen is also a little big more responsive. At least I think it is. If it's not, then I've been tapping my Lite and Phat way too hard. Still, I'll have to get used to playing Ouendan on it.
Onto the internet connection. I had to do a little effort to get mine working (I don't know if you do or not, it probably depends on your home network) but when it worked, it worked. I even made a post on the "What are you thinking now?" thread with it.
The internet browser is free, but everything else costs points. However, connecting to the DSi shop nets you 1000 free points. I'll be spending those later as things come out.
So overall the DSi is a pretty good system. Would I tell you to be as dumb as me and buy it right away? Depends on if you had the cash.
If you did, then I'd say "Yes, get it."
If you didn't, then I'd say "Wait a bit and get it anyways."
-
Interesting...
I guess it's time to save up for one then.
Thanks for that review Laze.
AND DARN YOU TAI FOR STEALING MY WALLET! [/late]
-
So yeah, I dun got mentioned by famous internet peoples on this podcast thingy and bragged about it on deviantart where no one will [tornado fang]ing read it. (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/journal/). What you do with that is your choice and yours alone.
Anyways, another short. Not the short about the song that I talked about, but I swear I'll do that eventually.
---
Hero: HEY THIEF.
Thief: YEAH, HERO?
Hero: HOW DO I MINE FOR FISH?
THIEF: THE SAME WAY I STEAL YOUR WALLET: EASILY!
Hero: Hey, that wasn't in the scr-HEY! My wallet is gone!
Sign that's where Thief once was: Out to lunch.
-
You so need to write a story about Lazyman the lazy Prosecutor against borockman the Attorney. :V
-
With me as the Judge! 8D
Ahem, funny short there Laze, and...
FAME
FORTUNE
STUFF RELATED TO FAME AND FORTUNE
-
Blargh. No new wordy art thing to post here. I'll do all the Borock Wright script tommorow when I'm not so tired and I'm on Spring Break.
ANYWAYS, you guys get news instead. It's highly likely, although I could flake out due to laziness, that I may make the RPG Adventures comicized. I'm thinking of making them kind of simple looking to save on time on each one, plus I could then come up with jokes based on visuals instead of having to write out stuff to describe what's going on.
If that fails, I'll look for an artist to draw the random crap I script.
If that fails, I just might re-redo (Don't ask) a very old comic that I did.
I seriously promise new stuff tommorow.
-
Sounds very promising...
Can't wait. :3
-
Stuff is stuff no matter what form it is that that takes.
...Meaning I look forward to seeing it.
-
Blar. I'm tired, but I'm doing this anyways because I love you guys sooooo much.

Borock Guy Ace Attorney
Wily II: We are here on the trial of Mr. Hero on the murder of Mr. General.
Wily II: Is the prosecution ready?
Laze: The Prosecution is ready, your honor.
Wily II: Is the defense ready?
Borock: The defense is ready, your honor.
Borock: (Ready as I'll ever be.)
Wily II: Very well. Prosecution, your opening arguement?
Laze: Hero killed that general guy. Plain and simple.
Borock: (Maybe a bit too simple.)
Wily II: Indeed it was. Defense, your opening arguement?
Borock: I will prove that without a doubt that not only was it not Hero that murdered General...
Borock strikes a pose.
Borock: But someone else killed him!
Wily II: Interesting. Laze, would you call the first witness?
Laze: Yes, I would like to call Thief into the court.
Thief walks into the court room, and takes her place on the witness stand.
Laze: Name and profession.
Thief: My name and occupation are one in the same: Thief.
Wily II: My word!
Borock: (I'm not surprised, really.)
Laze: Disregarding that, could you tell us about the defendent?
Thief: Of course.
Thief: Hero has always been a violent one. He was also a little eccentric.
Borock: Hold it! Just what do you mean by "eccentric"?
Wily II: Indeed. I know heroes can be violent, but not many have been known for being eccentric.
Thief: When I first met him in Typical Capital, he requested help to fight a dragon in a swamp.
Laze: Why would a dragon be in a swamp?
Hero: That's what I said when I saw it!
Thief: Shut up, Hero! No one is talking to you!
Hero: *groan*
Borock: (Hm, something tells me she's only staying because of the pay.)
Borock: (Hold on...)
Borock goes into his inventory and pulls out RPG Adventure 3 (The script in which General died)
Borock: Take that! This is the script that General died!
Laze: Yeah, I know that.
Wily II: Do you have a point with this?
Borock: I do! This is two scripts before Thief was introduced! And in that script Hero was on his way to Typical Capital!
Laze: Oh, I get it. She couldn't have known him at the time of the murder, and so her testimony is null and void.
Borock: You fell for my trap!
Laze: Actually, you fell for mine.
Borock: What?!
Wily II: I'm just as confused as Borock here, please explain Laze.
Laze: It was this very script where Hero killed General.
Borock: Huh?
Wily II: What?!
The courtroom is in an uproar. Wily would have banged his gavel, but found it missing. Thief then banged the gavel on the witness stand. After a short arguement between Wily and Thief, Wily got the gavel back at the price of five gold pieces.
Laze: ...Anyways, it was a justifiable murder as it was meant to move the plot.
Wily II: In that case, the defendent is...
NOT GUILTY.
Borock: ...Can I really count that as a victory?
Laze: Yes.
Borock: What makes you say that?
Laze: I'm the guy who writes these things.
Borock: Oh yeah.
-
Oh god that is awesome and it's nice that you made borock win, I wish I was part of a story like this.
-
Ah.. awesome.
I wish I was part of a story like this.
Me too.
-
Haha, I enjoyed that too much, I'm still smiling now. 8)
-
For those of you who want to be in a script like this bug the living crap outta me so I write something with you in it.
Or do something so awesome that I'll have no choice but to write you something.
Either choice works.
Thanks for the comments, as always.
-
Awesome scripted, my favorite part was when Thief stole Wily's gavel XD However,wasn't the trial for the murder of Random Guy?

Is that close enough? 8D I have my very own supermarket that has literally almost everything which houses my own army of Rabbids. Come on, there are endless possibilities there 8D

No it wasn't.
I didn't edit the script, shut up.

Ah, our resident superhero doing what he does best... XD

Some other superhero will catch the robber. XD

Are you kidding? He's Lazyman, reality itself will find a way to credit the capture to him if needed.
-

This.
I think I've even said once before that all LazyMan has to do is sit there, and the crime solves itself.
Taiyo, thanks for the first drawing of LazyMan that I didn't have to ask forAlthough borock did draw me that birthday picture... But then again, I've been asking him to draw stuff for me for a while, so would it count towards me not asking or would it fall under my constant requests of "Draw LazyMan"?. And it was good.
-
ERASE THE PARADOX
Plus, I still need to do that LazyMan sprite...
-
Are you kidding? He's Lazyman, reality itself will find a way to credit the capture to him if needed.
I should have known better. '>.>

Another news post because I'm a lazy bastard. See here also (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/journal/24257503/)
I found someone to draw RPG Adeventures for me. I'm just waiting to see what he's drawn so far and if he can comic at a consistent schedule.
If all goes well, I'll try to find someone to host RPG Adventures.
New stuffs next post.
-
Haha, that's good news then.
Lol is there only three of us who read this?
-
There's only three people and one spambot that watch me on deviantart.
I'd say around 4-5 people read my stuff here, though.
-
That spambot knows where a good humor is. 8D
-
If only more spambots could be like "!runescapeismygame".
ANYWAYS, NEW STUFF.
I did an art trade with Latsy (http://latsy.deviantart.com/), and this is the result.

There have been many tales of pokemon trainers over the years. Tales of trainers leaving their hometown at the ripe ol' age of ten determined to become Pokemon masters, some of which actually had an influence on the world's events. Some trainers saved the world on numorous occasions.
But this isn't a tale about those trainers.
This is a tale about a girl named Yam. She's a sweet lass at the age of 17. She refuses to conform to the current fashion trends and hates the color white with a passion. She also has an eyepatch over her right eye. Turns out she got in a fight with her kid sister over Pokemon, which then turned ugly.
It's been a couple of weeks since Yam began her journey to become a Pokemon master, but she's taking a break from the stressful life of a trainer to enjoy a slice of cake.
Yam: I've been working my butt off the whole journey, I deserve this break. Plus Celadon cakes are awesome.
Unfortunatly for Yam, a set of evil eyes are set on the delicious pastry.
Team Rocket Grunt: Man that cake looks so good. I don't feel like paying for one, though. Those prices are highway robbery!
Then the grunt had an idea.
Grunt: Of course! I could just steal her cake! Genious!
Yam was just about to dig her fork into the delcious flesh of the cake, when the grunt called out to her.
Grunt: Hey, there's a rare Pokemon over there!
Yam: What? Where?
With Yam looking for the supposed rare Pokemon, the Grunt takes the opportunity to steal the cake. I'm surprised that actually worked.
Yam: There was no rare Pok-My cake!
Yam finally noticed that not only was her cake gone, but the Rocket grunt had stolen it.
Yam: Growlithe, chase after that guy!
Yam threw a red and white ball. The ball opened up and relased a small red dog with yellow-ish fur on its tail, face and head. The dog soon gave chase to the Grunt with Yam following close behind Growlithe.
Grunt: You pest! Zubat! Use Super Sonic!
The grunt threw his own ball, which relased a small blue bat. The bat screeched softly, which confused Growlithe. Growlithe tried to continue the chase, but found it difficult as the dog Pokemon stumbled with every other step. Yam recalled Growlithe and continued the chase.
Yam then cornered the grunt in an alley.
Yam: Give me back my cake!
Grunt: Make me!
Yam and the Grunt then engaged in an entirely uninteresting battle. Why was it uninteresting? The Grunt had six pokemon: One Zubat and five Magikarps. Yeah. I'm not putting you through that pain.
Having won the Pokemon battle (If she had lost, she'd be considered a lousy trainer.) Yam resumed her previous task of eating the cake. Just as she was about to take a bite of her well earned prize, a Fearow swoops down and snatches the cake.
Yam: Ah! My cake!
Yam then gave chase to the Fearow, ultimately contributing nothing to the world. Eventually she did have her cake, and ate it too.
Then Hero popped up from out of nowhere.
Hero: Why is everyone in this script a [bleeping]ing monster tamer?!
-
That is by far the weirdest trainer ever, more importanly why is it the ten is the minium age to go on a pokemon journey?
-
Because in the Pokemon world, there is no such thing as Pedobear.
Duh.
-
Because in the Pokemon world, there is no such thing as Pedobear.
Duh.
True...because Brock only goes for older women.
-
[tornado fang] YEAH! A LOGICAL HERO!
-
Lol XD
For a moment there I thought it would turn out like Kirby Squeak Squad =P
Btw, are you gonna make a story of the drawing I made or not?

Btw, are you gonna make a story of the drawing I made or not?
I'll let the following answer that question for me.

It was a typical day for all in New Yorsey Town. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and three men in ski masks were robbing a bank.
...Hey, wait a minute.
The three would-be thieves varied in size. One was tall and skinny and spoke simply (Pencil), while the second robber was short and fat whose accent would randomly changed (Tub), while the third was both moderate in size and stature and was generally the smartest of the three (Typic).
Pencil: Alright! Hands in the air!
Bank Teller: You won't get away with this!
Tub: Oh yeah! Who's going to stop us?!
Just then the trio of robbers turn around and saw LazyMan waving at them from outside the bank. The robbers pointed their guns at LazyMan. Only to find that he had fallen asleep.
Pencil: Bah. Gave me a scare for a second there.
Tub: Yeah! I thought we was toast!
Typic: I quit.
Pencil and Tub did a double take.
Pencil and Tub: Huh?
Typic: If I quit now while I'm not breaking the law and confess your guilt, I'll get off some community service.
Pencil: You cowardly fool!
Tub: What are you so affraid of? Dat lazy sack of crap ova der?
Typic: Yes.
Pencil: Yellow bastard!
Typic: Call me what you want, but you don't know what he's capable of.
With that, Typic walked outside the bank and sat down next to LazyMan.
Tub: Bah. Let's just take the money and go.
Pencil: Good riddence. More for us!
The robbers go through with thier plan, robbing the bank for as much as they can carry. They bust down the walls to escape.
Typic: Don't say I didn't warn you.
Tub: Whateva!
Tub and Pencil run out into the relatively calm street. Not a cop in sight, and it looked like LazyMan wouldn't be waking up anytime soon.
Tub: We're home free! Pencil, get your keys ou-
Before Tub could finish his sentence, Tub and Pencil were run over by a truck that came out of no where.
A few hours later...
Police: Two suspects captured and detained. A third person was seen with the two suspects, but has agreed to appear in court against the other two.
Chief: And they were run over a truck you say?
Police: Yes, sir.
Chief: Figures. The most out there stuff always happens when he's around.
Police: I'd say reality itself works its way so that LazyMan ends up capturing the villians.
Chief: And that's why I don't want to be on his bad side.
And so the day was saved by reality working itself to solve the crime while LazyMan was on the scene.

That was a fun read XD
Also, I see you liked what I said last page =P
-
News?
How the hell did I miss that piece of news... >.>;
Either way, I guess DrunkDuck works well enough for this.
As for the latest 2 story entries...
FINALLY, a REAL Pokemon story to tell the kids... XD
And, finally, the work of warping reality... XD
Great reads as always, Laze.

Lazyman is truly the best superhero ever!

Damn straight! You do well to remember it too.
Also, here's Latsy's half of the art trade. (http://latsy.deviantart.com/art/art-trade-teaofjay-sketch-119402022) It makes me smile and giggle like a crazy person.
-
Man, she missed my bro B! 8D
I see that you like my characters concept drawings. :D
-
That would be because I only asked for Thief and Hero. I'm saving B for a more funneh request.
And yes, I did like your concept art. A lot.
Posted on: April 15, 2009, 07:20:35 PM
Man, I'm on a roll with these today.
Another RPG Adventures short. Because this wouldn't make any sense if this was part of the already zany canon.
---
Hero: You know, I still haven't found that dragon from the swamp.
Thief: Are you still obsessing over that?
Hero: Maybe.
Thief: Look, you're never going to be happy if you-
Old Man: Stupid Hero, you not hungry for Dragon.
Hero: Huh?
Old Man: You hungry for HAWT POCKIT.
The Old Man pulls out from behind his back a plate with a hot pocket on it.
Hero: I just lost my appitite thinking about where that came from.
-
Lol, nice short story.
btw what is a hot pocket?
-
It's this microwaveable frozen food item that is basically breed stuffed with various kinds of meats and cheeses (not all at once).
A.K.A. The thing I eat whenever I don't feel like getting something else prepared for lunch.
-
Wikipedia can tell us what a "Hot Pocket" is.
-
Aww, Latsy's art is cute. >w<
And I totally agree with Hero, that Hot Pocket is TOO suspicious. XD
-
News time. Something about a regular occurance.
Turns out someone's been downloading all my stuff from my deviantart gallery. I don't know if it's one person, but it's been happening consitently enough that I can't help but notice it.
I'm not going to suspect art theft right away, even though that'd be flattering as hell; Still I'd like for you guys to keep a look out for anything blatantly ripping off RPG Adventures or anything else I've written.
And when I said everything of mine has been downloaded, I mean everything. Even that Pokeymans story was downloaded.
-
How cute, you've got a fan that wants to save your work for prosperity on his/her hard drive XD

I'm actually curious as to how that fan (If that's the case) would react if they learned I'm actually working on a book.
Speaking of which, I'll post bios of characters here eventually.

You are? That looks like a lot of work for the man of legendary laziness, but it's still awesome.

Hmm, a book? interesting. What's the genre?
-
Hmm, a book? interesting. What's the genre?
Fantasy, taking place in an alternate universe.
I'm still working out all the details so that not only does the story make sense and the characters are endearing to the reader, but there aren't any plotholes that makes any point in the plot a huge waste of time for the characters.
I'll post some bios of characters and basic info (Obviously not big plot points, so you guys have something to READ if this gets published.) eventually.

Hope he/she's not a stalker-type...

So, there's this giant enemy Fan Song (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/art/Kamen-Divurtle-Fan-Song-119981061).

I like the theme song, but it needs some music for it to be great. I just can't sing an awesome theme song without music D:

There ya go (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW9MmBEMNPk&feature=channel_page)
Fun Fact: The english lyrics to this song were what the fan song was based off of.

News post, because I have nothing in the way of scripts.
SOOO people of RPM. Wanna do an art trade? Wanna have a hilarious script written by yours truly? Wanna solve world hunger?!
Now I'm giving you the opportunity to do all those things! Except for solving world hunger. I can't do that.
All you have to do is post your interest in this topic, and things will just snowball from there.
I'm easy, really. For an art trade you could draw Lazyman, Hero and/or Thief from RPG Adventures, or any of your favorite scenes from my scripts. I just need to know what I can write for you in return.
...Just remember to keep it clean.
Hopefully no one realises that I absolutly have no ideas. That'd just be embarassing!

That is the best fanart of Hero that I've ever receieved.

Now, you have to make a story for that drawing. XD

OKAY. I think I got it. It's going to be AWESOME.

Hero: Boy, this sure is a wonderful day!
Hero: Gasp! Is that the Easter Bunny?!
Hero runs over to a severely injured Easter Bunny.
Bunny: Hero... My Rabbit Hole is under attack by Zombie Samurai Lincoln.
Hero: But isn't Lincoln good?
Bunny: He's also turned evil for some reason.
Hero: Oh noes! I'll get right on that!
Hero rushes to the Easter Bunny's Rabbit Hole to confront the Evil Zombie Samurai Lincoln.
Lincoln: Mwah ha ha ha! Soon Easter will be ruined!
Hero: Not if I can help it!
Lincoln: Gasp! Hero?! It can't be!
Hero: It is! Why have you turned evil?
Lincoln: That doesn't matter now, for we must fight!
Hero and Lincoln engage in what could be an epic sword fight. Never before has there been a sword fight as epic as this one. There was even a series of novels based on how epic this fight was.
It looked like Lincoln would win for a while, but Hero struck back with his Ultimate Heroic Technique!
Hero: That should make you think twice before disrupting Easter!
...Hero is showing a group of crudely drawn pictures to Thief while narrating a story.
Hero: And that's how I saved Easter.
Thief: That didn't happen, you idiot.
Bunny: It's all true. You just didn't know him then.
Thief: !
Hero: Who's the idiot now?
Thief: You.
Hero: Aw, you never let me have anything.
-
You don't really have to do anything for this, I jus felt like drawing thief. Plus it's rough and not very good ^^;

Man, that's so like Thief. I find the little fang hilarious.
Even though you say I don't have to do anything, I feel obligated to write something for you.
...Eventually. I owe you something, and if you ever do change your mind, just send a PM my way.

Well, now that I have some time on my hands, I can update this thread with some content.
This time it's a rant.
It has nothing to do with here, I just want to vent.
---
Today's Rant Subject: Pirates. YAAAAAAR.
I'm going to be honest with you right now, I've downloaded my fair share of songs. Most of which are in markets that I usually can't get purchase said songs, but I've downloaded them. I also have my fair share of roms for old games that I can't find on the market or games that I don't feel like downloading on Wii/XBLA/PSN when getting the point/cash cards for each happens every so often (The latter reason rarely happens).
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be taking a moral high horse while writing this thread, but this is a subject that has me irked beyond relief.
Pirating games, it's not cool. I don't have a problem with anyone here specificlly to make me want to do this rant, but I know some people who do this.
Pirating a game means taking away a sale for that game. Sure, most of the pirates I talk to justify it saying "I'll buy it if it's good." Personally, I doubt that they'd by anything if they can just get it for free.
Other excuses that I've heard are as follows:
"It's too expensive." Then get a new hobby. If you can't then stop bitching and get a job. I only work on a volunteer basis and I can manage to buy all the games and such I want.
"I don't waste money on crap." Then don't. There's the internet, possibly demos, and stores like Play and Trade that will let you play games, FOR FREE, to see if you might like it enough to purchase it. What's that? That's too inconveinient? Tough [parasitic bomb]. Our Capitalistic economy doesn't give [parasitic bomb] whether you can afford a [tornado fang]ing video game or not.
What pisses me off is that some of the people I talked about earlier have enough money to be buying these games. They've even told me so.
That just pisses me off more then the people who don't have the money. That being said, my best friend (who doesn't even know these people) is poor and yet is still able to purchase games every once in a while. And for the games that he can't buy (Which is most of them) he asks me to borrow them. Since I trust him enough with my belongings I let him. I wouldn't let the guys I talk about even hold my DS without me hovering over thier shoulders.
I guess for some reason these people feel obligated to having these games that they can't afford, or they want games without having to pay for it. I got tough news for you: <Insert Company> doesn't give a [parasitic bomb] if you can afford their products. You can't afford it, you can't have it. It's as simple as that.
Now I can usually turn the other cheek when it comes to this, and I only complain about it when a really ubscure game gets pirated. But seeing the discussion on Kotaku about pirating (http://kotaku.com/5237036/zeno-clash-dev-tries-reasoning-with-torrenters) it pissed me off to see so many people defending the practice.
I'm aware that it happens. I'm also aware that not much can be done to stop it that won't also be inconvenient to the people who actually buy the game. But if such a thing has to be put into place in the first place, then obviously there's something wrong with the market.
If everyone just pirates games, then what will happen to those games? More than likely they'll sell badly and never see a sequel. Which pisses me off since it seems that this mostly happens to obscure games that don't have a lot of advertising anyways, or games that want to try something new but people are unsure of the outcome.
What I do is buy a game and play it. If the time comes around when more games come out, and I can't honestly see myself playing that game again, then I trade it in for credit towards one of the games that are coming out that I want. It's a simple practice that has been working for me for a while now.
There was even a quote of someone saying "I haven't bought a game in five years..." Good for you buddy. What do you want, a [tornado fang]ing medal?
I'll just end this rant here and apologise if I said anything to offend anyone here. This isn't directed at anyone here, but I noticed that I used a lot of swearing here, so I'm sure there's something in there that I missed that might offend. If that's the case, send me a quick PM and I'll edit the rant accordingly.

Yeah, but having their prices almost double in other countries is not gonna get them sale either.

I know your feeling, that's why I always try to buy the games I really really want. Them being pretty much non-existant here is a problem though, I'm still looking for a specific game after 5 months and everyone keeps telling me "they haven't even sent us a single copy of it" ;_;
-
I honestly can't speak from experience what happens in other countries, since I was born and raised in the United States. The above rant is purely based on my experiences here, playing video games.
While I can sympathize with your situation if games in your local market are two times more than what I have to pay for, I can't exactly say anything since I'm never going to get what it's like without visiting that country for myself.

A quick sketch, but now you can't complain that noone cosplays you :P

True, but you know what would be better?
FUSION HA!

No, that much laziness would not only destroy reality, but all of existance as well. Also, did you read Lazy's rant? This is not my thread =P

Whoo, couple weeks without writing anything. Dat's bad.
But fear not, I've had my fill of Fallout 3 for now and will post something to make up for the time I didn't write anything!
New RPG Adventures, which could just about work for any game genre. But like I said before, it's just so easy to write these.
---
The player is currently browsing the marketplace on his Xstation Thwii for some new content that was just released for RPG Adventures.
Player: This new "Extended Play" DLC is supposed to add a couple of hours to the game. It's also supposedly adding new items and coustumes for Thief and Hero... And I'm still talking to myself.
The player finds the download that he seeks. He confirms that he'd like to download the content onto his hard drive.
Player: Jeesh, 800 points for some more content. This had better be damn worth it... And not glitch ridden like the last two packs... And maybe two more DLC packs to be announced after this supposedly final one... And for me to stop talking to myself and using ellipses to show a pause.
The download bar on the screen crawls at a painfully slow rate. The player anticipates this and pulls out a book to read.
-Two hours later-
The player had just finished the book he was reading when the pack finished downloading. The player goes to the launch menu and starts RPG Adventures.
Player: Alright, now let's see what options I get.
The game starts up as normal. However, when the player chooses to continue his game, the option of alternate coustumes for the characters pop up, like he had read about.
Player: Eh, sure. I'll see what they look like just for the sake of seeing them.
Since it's been a while since the player has played the game, a summary of what he last did pops up on the screen:
"Hero and Thief-"
Player: Meh, I'll just read it in game.
The player skips the uselss summary.
Hero and Thief are standing outside of the swamp again.
Hero: Wow, did it feel like we were standing here for two weeks?
Thief: It's all in your head.
Hero: Then's there something about a Zombie Samurai Lincoln... Thief, who is Lincoln?
Thief: No idea... By the way, you look different.
Hero's new coustume is a lot more intricate. Instead of the usual light armor he wears, he now wore an armor that can be described as a heavier version of his old armor. The armor Hero wears now looks similar to the General that he killed earlier on. However, even though the armor looks heavier that usual Hero doesn't seem slowed by it at all.
Hero: Huh, I didn't notice... By the way, Thief...
Thief's new coustume gave her a gi. If you had to describe it, Thief would have looked like a medieval ninja. She wore a headband to keep her bangs out of her eyes. The gi was open at the top to show some clevage. This is after all parodying a JPRG, so clevage is a must.
Hero: You look like a ninja!
Thief: Yes, yes I do. I also steal things like a ninja.
Hero: What do you- Hey! My wallet!
Hero chases after Thief. The Player is laughing like a madman.
Player: Oh man! This is the best DLC ever! And I've only played for a couple minutes which was actually a cutscene!
The player then notices that his wallet is missing. This raises many questions.
He'll have to pay 800 Xstation Live points to know the answer to them.
-
LOL, I too talk to myself when buying stuff in my Platinum... >.>;
And the player's going missing as well, ninja thief? Awesome. XD
-
Oh man! a damn thief ninja! *check wallets* it's still safe for now...
This means that I need to update the outfits.
-
Me too...
But I like the previous Hero outfit. XD
-
I should at least come up with better descriptions for the DLC outfits; these are ones I came up on the fly.
Hero: Think of the most generic looking knight armor you can think of. It's usually heavy, right? It's going to looking like that, but it's going to not look bulky. The chest area is going to be similar to his first coustume, but the chest plate actually covers his chest. His pants remain with little patches of armor covering his legs. He doesn't wear a helmet, but he doesn't need it.
Thief: ...Well, it's Thief's head on a female ninja's body. She wears a fanny-pack-like pouch (presumably where she keeps extra knives and her spoils).
I don't know if these outfits will make a return, but I'll have to see from my limited fanbase now and my might-not-be-so-limited fanbase when this becomes a comic.
-
Hero: He doesn't wear a helmet, but he doesn't need it.
His spiky hair is more than enough protection am I right?. XD
-
He has anime hair, and we all know that is damn near indestructable.
It's second only to a mettol helmet.
-
Well then...
I'm counting on you, borockman! 8D
-
Man, I must be bored. Because when I thought of this, I found it hilarious.
Doesn't help I thought this up early in the morning.

THIS SUMMER.
YOU DON'T WANNA BE ANYWHERE NEAR A SWAMP.
Hero: Isn't that true all year?
YES.
EXCEPT THIS SUMMER, THERE'S GOING TO BE DRAGONS.
Hero: Dragons? Why would a dra-
A dragon erupts from the swamp water letting out a loud roar. Hero screams and runs away.
TWO HEROES MUST COMBAT THIS NEW THREAT.
Thief: Why would a dragon be in a swamp?
Hero: That's what I want to know!
ACTION.
Hero: Get down!
EVEN MORE ACTION.
Hero: Get down, again!
A HERO IS PISSED OFF.
Hero: I've had it with these mother [tornado fang]ing dragons in this mother [tornado fang]ing swamp!
Thief: Well swearing at them isn't going to scare them away.
Hero: Then I'm obviously not swearing enough! Or is that only for using violence?
THIS SUMMER, COMING TO A THEATER NO WHERE NEAR YOU.
DRAGONS IN A SWAMP.
Rated NGFH: Never Going to [tornado fang]ing Happen.
-
Best movie preview ever. XD
-
Yes, and the bleeps would make the trailer even funnier. Good show man.
-
Insert trailer voice for massive effect!
That's priceless sir!
-
Thanks for the comments guys!
...Wow, going back and reading all the past scripts I wrote I never noticed how many typos I made.
Well, time for a massive typo correction for 50% more readability.
EDIT: Well, the typo correction is done. I even added stuff to one script. Go see which one. 8D
-
Holyshi-
I want to watch that movie, like now! XD
And hmm... *looks through*
-
Okay, rant time.
And this time this actually happened the day I was going to rant about something! That's a first.
---
Today's Topic: Nintendo showed us WHAT?!
Okay, I'll be honest with you. When I first heard of the Wii Vitality Sensor, I was skeptical. Then I imagined any potential this odd device might have, and I find myself intriged. That said, Nintendo didn't tell us what it'd do, just that they were making it.
Now here's where the rant comes in.
We know jack [parasitic bomb] about what games, if any at all, the sensor works with. For all we know, Nintendo could be working on a survival horror game to work with the sensor. Knowing next to nothing, people STILL feel the need to judge the damn thing.
Worse yet, some say Nintendo betrayed them because there was no new Zelda game.
To those people I say: [tornado fang] you with a brick.
Nintendo is giving us Two Mario games, a Mario and Luigi game, a Golden Sun game, and a Kickass looking Metroid game developed by Team Ninja and you've been betrayed? Yeah, great [tornado fang]ing logic. Remind me to call on you when I need stock market advice.
Obviously, this doesn't apply to anyone here. I just like ranting because not only does it get stuff off my chest, I can post content to the topic too. Two birds, one stone.
Discuss.
-
some say Nintendo betrayed them because there was no new Zelda game.
I know people like this and they irritate me to no end. o//////o
-
But, but they got Spirit Track! that's a new zelda. 8D
But yes, it's quite irritating but that nerds for you. never satisfied.
-
LoL, no need to ever get upset about gamers being upset. It's always funny to watch.

I love you so much~ >0<
I can't stand people that act like that. I loved the games Nintendo showed up. I want them so much. >U<
And a Zelda Wii was announced, it's just not coming this year. ^^
-
LoL, no need to ever get upset about gamers being upset. It's always funny to watch.
Yeah, I tend to swear a lot. It's not that I'm upset, just annoyed.
And thanks to Shiggy, my rant is moot.

I love you as much as someone over the internet can love someone else without appearing creepy.
The rant was made before Miyamoto made that announcement of an annoucement. So yeah, I'm happy that happened.
Wait... HOLY [parasitic bomb]. Vixy and PB posted in my topic! Does that mean I'll actually get more people reading my crap now?
-
Imagine...
A wild Arceus appeared!
Your heart rate raises due to the encounter!
Arceus sensed your heart rate and laughed at you!
You get angry!
Heart rate raises again!
Ok, it was a spur of the moment... XD
But yeah, that rant is very valid.

[tornado fang] lazy ur liek so lazy but liek u make this amazing stuff
man uyteghe man man

You know the avatar that I have now?
Well, here's the full picture. (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/art/Gurren-Sparta-124950941)
-
THIS IS...
So the full pic is finally revealed... XD
Nice. XD
-
Oh hai. I has an announcement to make.
So I decided to write an RPG Adventures script with people from RPM in it. Besides the people that are usually in everything (PB, Vixy etc.) and the people that actively read my stuff (All four of you. You know who you are already) I want to add even more people into this special. If you want in, just send me a PM or post here that you want in.
Think of it as a gift from me to everyone who doesn't read this topic.
Also, I'm contemplating whether or not to start an RPG Adventures RP here. I might do it depending on if there's any interest for it.
Both will happen in the middle of next week, since I have finals until then.
-
COOL STORY, BRO
-
Hehe, sweetness... >w<
As for the RP, I say go ahead and test it out, who knows until we try, right? XD
-
I'm liking this already! 8D
-
I'm just going to warn you ahead of time that the RP will make absolutly no shread of sense, and will feature constant wallet theft and dragons in swamps.

Oh boy, sounds like an RP Rad would be interested in.

I'm just going to warn you ahead of time that the RP will make absolutly no shread of sense
Isn't that RPM in a nutshell? XD
-
I'm liking this already already!

You say it like it's a bad thing.
I'm liking this already! 8D
I'm liking this already already!
But.. you're already liking it?!

Sign me up for this adventure! 8D

I like where this is going~ >U<

Worse yet, some say Nintendo betrayed them because there was no new Zelda game.
To those people I say: [tornado fang] you with a brick.
Well, that's just how fanboys are. They NEED to complain and say they feel betrayed about something or else they'll die. Anyways, isn't it just great they were proved wrong in just a matter of hours? What's their excuse now? XD I mean, the excuse for the one's not saying "Galaxy sucked anyways," those are just sad.
Oh hai. I has an announcement to make.
So I decided to write an RPG Adventures script with people from RPM in it. Besides the people that are usually in everything (PB, Vixy etc.) and the people that actively read my stuff (All four of you. You know who you are already) I want to add even more people into this special. If you want in, just send me a PM or post here that you want in.
Think of it as a gift from me to everyone who doesn't read this topic.
Also, I'm contemplating whether or not to start an RPG Adventures RP here. I might do it depending on if there's any interest for it.
Both will happen in the middle of next week, since I have finals until then.
Awesome. Also, the RP, DO IT :)
-
So I'm going to make a liar out of myself and do stuff earlier than when I said I would.
The RPG Adventures RPM Speicial won't just be a single script anymore. Instead, it'll be its own series that no one outside of RPM will see. There's going to be plenty of RPM members involved with this series, even though it'll start out with mostly Hero and Thief.
As for the RP, I'm more than likely going to start it up today since I don't know when I'll have another chance until next week. Just expect me to disappear around Tuesday. I don't know when I'll be back, though.
Also, I'm thinking of starting a segment called "Ask RPG Adventures." You PM me questions and characters from RPG Adventures will answer them (Player, Thief, and Hero. Maybe some other characters if you feel like it.)
Now that the news is out of the way, here's part one of the RPM special series.
---
It's a beautiful day in Typical Capital. The sun is shining, the townspeople are at peace. There's even a festival today! Thief is in a particularily good mood because of all the loot she got earlier. Most of it wasn't from festival games though.
Hero: Thief! THIIIIIIIEF!
Thief sighed. There goes her good mood.
Thief: What is it? Another dwarf steal your pants again?
Hero: No! ...And that only happened once. Anyways, I found this door in the forest.
Thief: A door in the forest? You mean a building, right?
Hero: No, just a door.
Thief: How does that work?
Hero: Beats me, but come on! It's locked and I need your expertise for this!
Thief: A door that's all by itself and it's locked? Now I have to see this.
Hero takes Thief into the forest where he found the mystery door. Just as he had said, the door really is all by itself. On it in red reads "RPM".
Thief: Arr Pee Em? What is that, some kind of fancy food?
Hero: That's what I thought at first, but it's one of those things where the letters mean something else.
Thief: ...So what do the letters mean?
Hero pulls out a piece of paper.
Hero: According to this note that was nailed onto the door it means "Rockman Perfect Memories."
Thief: What the hell is a Rockman? And why do they need a place to remember them?
Hero: I think it's someplace where golems live. This could mean there's some serious treasure here!
Thief's ears perked up. Without saying anything she gets to work on the door.
Hero: So when do you think you'll get tha-
Thief opens the door with a satisfied look on her face.
Thief: Done.
Hero: Alright then. Onwards, to adventure!
Hero and Thief walk through the door. After they step through, the door closes behind them. They continue despite this into the unknown against their common sense. Little do they know that golems are the least of their worries where they're going.
-
Hah, that's a nice intro.
Can't wait to see the next one.
-
Oh yeah, the RP is posted. No real content in it yet, but there's really no direction for it right now. So if you've ever wanted to directly interact with Thief and Hero through me, there is the place to do it.
-
Eh, a new RP? checks.
It's still too empty.
I think I'll wait till the casts are inside RPM world first.
-
Thief and Hero are already in RPM, they just haven't seen anyone yet.
And the reason it's empty is because I'm letting you guys start it up. You know, get your bearings on what you're doing in RPM and what not.
-
Ah, I see. Let me think up of something then... o~O
EDIT: done!
-
Good. Now to wait for people to follow suit.
Also, don't think the things that happen in the RP are going to happen in the script version. I have ideas on what I want to do when I include RPM members in the series.
That would just be lazy of me.
-
Nice intro, I'll check the RP next.
Hero: I think it's someplace where golems live. This could mean there's some serious treasure here!
Thief's ears perked up. Without saying anything she gets to work on the door.
Well, I just hope they don't know how to go to outer space/find the teleporter to my business. There's so much for Thief to steal there XD
-
When it comes to Thief, chances are...
You're already broke.
You wa Shock!
-
RP's started?
Sweet, I'll take a look later.
And great intro for the RPM arc of RPG Adventures.
Can't wait to see the golems. 8D
-
Well, I have news of epic proportions.
I'm out of school for now which means I'll have more time to write stuff for you guys!
I'll start by writing the second part of the RPM Special... Later. I'm tired as hell from finals, so I'm recouping for the moment. But do not fret, it is coming eventually. Also, expect many, many jokes about Vixy's bazookas in the upcoming scripts.
Or just fun bag jokes in general.
Yeaaaah.
-
Bazookas?
-
Read the line directly after it, and everything should make sense.
-
Awesome, bazookas! >0<
-
Oh hey, I should really post Part 2 of the RPM special now, huh?
More RPMers next script. Bug me if you want in if you aren't already.
Also, the "Ask RPG Adventures" is still open for question. Send any questions you may have to me through PMs.
---
Thief and Hero had been walking through the unknown land known as Rockman Perfect Memories. However, our travelers soon became very bored.
Hero: Ugh! We haven't seen one golem! Not even a pebble baby!
Thief: ...Disregarding my feeling of Deja Vu, just what is a pebble baby?
Hero: It's a baby golem, duh.
Thief: Of course.
Hero: Anyways, we haven't seen anything in this god forsaken place! You'd think a mysterious door in the middle of the forest would actually lead to something exciting.
Thief: Yeah, you have a point there... For once.
Just then Thief and Hero were stopped by some odd looking rectangles...
Rectangle: Free credit report DOT COM!
Rectangle 2: Feeling depressed? Then prescribe to these anti-depressent pills!
Rectangle 3: Want to increase the size of your [ray splasher]?
Hero: You can do that?
Thief applies her palm directly to the forehead.
Hero: A-anyways. We should kills these annoying things!
Thief and Hero begin to fight the very odd rectangles. However, no matter how many they slay two more take it's place.
Hero: This is hopeless! This is like a hydra, only more annoying!
Thief: You fought a hydra?
Hero: No, but I know a guy whose cousin's sister's boyfriend's father's college roommate that fought one.
Thief: Good grief.
Just then two figures appeared. One was clad in red and wore black shades. Generally he carried an aura of great confidence, perhaps maybe too much so. The second was a woman that was very well endowed. She wore pink clothing that left very little to the imagination, but was still modest somehow. Don't ask me, I'm just the narrorator. The woman had purple hair while the man's hair was a deep shade of red. Just as quickly as they came the two figures took care of the strange rectangles.
Man: Jeesh, you guys need to turn on your pop up blockers!
Woman: Luckily we were near by, otherwise you would have lagged!
Thief and Hero were confused. The man and woman caught on.
PB: Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce ourselves. I'm Protoman Blues.
Vixy: And I'm Vixy.
Thief: I'm Thief.
Hero: And I'm Hero.
After an exchange of handshakes, PB and Vixy gave Hero and Thief a tour of Rockman Perfect Memories. I would go into more detail but I am far too lazy to do so. Use your imagination to fill in the tour.
Thief: Aren't you guys affraid of invasion since everyone can enter?
PB: Nah, we got some pretty big guns around here.
Hero jokingly pointed at Vixy.
Hero: I'll say.
Thief then smacked Hero upside the head.
-
Nice script XD
Also, expect many, many jokes about Vixy's bazookas in the upcoming scripts.
Or just fun bag jokes in general.
Yeaaaah.
Well, looks like you did deliver 8D
-
Wow, double update. This time it's a rant.
Oh yeah, I mentioned something about doing an opinon piece of the Big Three's E3 conferences... I'm finally getting around to actually watching those, so I'll get back to you on that.
However, the rant is somewhat E3 related, but the opinions for this rant won't interfere with my future piece.

Today's Rant Subject: PSPGo isn't going very far.
At first I was actually willing to give the PSPGo a chance. Hell, maybe Sony would announce that the Go would do something the PSP already can't do. Well, I learned otherwise today. (http://kotaku.com/5288929/details-on-pspgo-battery-life-accessories--more) Not only does it seem that my PSP can do what the Go can... Actually, it's just that: My PSP can already do what the Go can. Except the Go can't play UMD games.
The Go, from what the interview suggests, has a battery life that's basically the same as the PSP that some of us may already have. Now I've had the PSP since when it used to be priced at $250, but the fact that this newer version does less than my first shipment model is shocking.
Sony, you're pulling a Sega. What do I mean by that? You're releasing too many consoles that do the same, or less, than what you already released. I honestly hope you don't plan on releasing a thin PS3 soon.
You're looking to get new consumers to purchase this device. However, when the alternative PSP is $80 cheaper, and even the DSi is $90 cheaper, then you're pretty much destined to fail.
You also say you're trying to compete with the Ipod Touch/Phone... Uh, what? Why would you try to compete with cell phone gaming, when you're already having trouble from regular gaming? This makes little sense, Sony.
All in all, I can see the PSPGo going the way of the GameBoy Micro: failing miserably and forgotten only being remembered as a mistake on an otherwise decent record.
-
Why do companies bother doing things like this?
-
Lol at big guns in the RPM Special... XD
Great job on it.
As for rant, hehe... the Micro...
-
Another update. This time I actually watched all three conferences at once. So now I can give my opinion on them. And here it is.
---
Microsoft: Not really that exciting. The only games I’m looking forward to that were shown here are Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake, and MGS: Rising. Maybe Halo 3 ODST. Natal as a whole didn’t impress me, but Milo does look interesting.
I have to say, though, I better be able to shoryuken that [sonic slicer]. No dragon punching, no deal. Also, multiple save files. One will be where I’m a total prick to the kid, and the other where I’m myself; which is kind of a prick.
I did like the fact that they didn’t jerk off to numbers, though.
Sony: Overall a pretty good show. There’s a lot of number talk, but there’s enough games to balance that.
There’s some jokes about the leaks before E3, which I found to be funny. Of course there’s HANNAH MONTANA. [tornado fang] YEAH. There was also a bunch of stuff I didn’t care about. Like the PSPGo. To be fair, it wasn’t until after E3 announcements that I started to hate the device, so I’ll let it slide for now.
Also, Translator-Kun and I should go out for some drinks. We both didn’t give a [parasitic bomb] during the Gran Turismo PSP showing.
Nintendo: Wow, they actually started with Cammy? That’s not a good sign. There was also bragging about how video games were bigger than just about everything, which I liked. I would’ve liked it to come form someone other than Cammy, but oh well. Thankfully, though, there was very little number talk. A lot less than Sony, at least. Plus Wii MotionPlus is looking good. And it’s good to know Wii MotionPlus will be coming with some games. It’s also good to know I’ll be muttering all the bad words I do in real life while playing these games. Thanks for letting me know Reggie, I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t swear at my games.
Nintendo honestly surprised the crap out of me with the games they announced. Most notable Metroid Other M being produced by Team Ninja. I both fear and wonder what they’ll do with the franchise.
The Vitality Monitor confused me as much as it did the rest of you guys. However, not much has been said about this device, so I'll hold off on judgement for now.
Not going against them or anything, but the Gamespot Nintendo Conference randomly changes in volume, and Sony’s video quality is your usual Youtube fare. Microsoft’s video was the only one with really good quality, which is a tad bit suspicious.
Overall this is how I’d rank the conferences:
First: Nintendo. Honestly, while Sony had more games, Nintendo had more surprises. Also less number talking.
Second: Sony. Sony had a lot of games to show, but it’s only in second because there wasn’t that many surprises and they talked about numbers too much.
Third: Microsoft. Their conference was boring as hell. ‘Nuff said.
Feel free to discuss my opinion if you want.
-
I remembered last year, Nintendo also started with Cammy, I think. XD
Either way...
Basically the same sentiments.
-
Heh, nice guns joke. 8D
And for rant, well basically, we got similar opinions really.
-
Wow, this must be a sevre case of Murphey's law, because my 360 red ring'd today.
I'll be dealing with that soon. Whether that will get in the way of updates here will be a different story.
It's going to cost $100. I wish I had a Paypal account and the fans so I could ask for donations. Since I have neither, I'll have to pay for it myself.

Break from the RPM Special for a Team Fortress 2 poem.

Once upon a time, in a server far away
There was a blue Scout that shouted "Bonk!" when he hurt people.
This Scout was facing a dilemma.
The Scout shouted, "I need a dispensah over 'ere!"
However, the Engineer was facing problems of his own.
"A Spy is sappin' my sentry" The Engineer shouted back.
The Scout could see no red spy.
Unfortunately, this lead to his downfall as the Scout was then backstabbed by the Spy.
Before the Scout completely died, the Spy whispered into his ear,
"I did your mother."
As the Spy walked out of the room, he disguised himself as the recently fallen Scout.
Until he got hit by the Sniper's Jarate.
This drew the attention of a red Soldier
"I think his mate saw me." The Sniper whispered to himself.
A rocket to the face only proved that fact.
-
Well... At least the Spy could Jarate'd... XD
-
Simply beautiful.

Gentlemen owob

Yeah, I just realized that no one has drawn Player yet.
So I'm asking for a picture of the Player in the form of a contest.
First one to draw me a half-way decent picture of Player gets a story thingy of their choice (KEEP IT CLEAN).
For those that draw me an awesome picture of any of the RPG Adventure cast (Player included) you get a story thingy too.
Here's a quick description: Short, messy brown hair. Blue Jean shorts. A white T-Shirt with a Chibi Hero head saying something in moon speak. He's also the one that holds the controler during Hero and Thief's wacky adventures!
Get drawing people!
Psst! When I said the "First one" I meant "Everyone". So just draw a half way decent picture of Player or any mix of the cast and you get something.

I can't respond to that very well because I keep cracking up every time I see it.

How bout this?

I should make a list of people I owe stuff to, that way I won't forget.
It'll be here in this post.
People I owe stuff to
Sakura, Borock and Michael Roa Valdamjong (Drew me a picture of Player)
CephiYumi (She drew me a picture of Thief. Even though she said she didn't want anything, I'm still writing her something, damnit.)
Vixy (I haven't written anything that starred her yet. Which is obligatory apparantly.)
Night (His picture is hilarious. 'nuff said.)
Wily II (He sprited Player)

You people did it all wrong! It was supposed to be like this!

God damnit Night.
Your picture being hilarious isn't helping my headache.

By the way is that a gun or a jack hammer?
-
It's a gun hammer.
-
That's not a gun hammer. This is a gun hammer.

And I may draw Player later, when I don't feel too lazy >.>

Did I miss something, I don't see a thing.

When I said gun hammer, I meant something that was awesome.
I still laughed at it though. Must be the God Hand OST. Somehow it makes things funnier.
Sakura: Right Click- Properties- Copy Paste URL.

Okay now I saw it.
-
What about sprites...? -_-
-
As long as it looks like Player and isn't in words then I don't give a damn how you do it.
Hell, it could even be made in ACSII.
-
Alright, that should give me motivation after making that Hero sprite...
AWAY~
-
Hell, it could even be made in ACSII.
What does that mean?

you know...when people make pictures out of symbols like !@#$%^&*()_+, etc etc. In notepad.

Oh that's what it's called.

Alright, let me deposit this here...

-
Nice! that Hero upgrade looks awesome!
-
Hmm... Laze, I have a small request...
Would you mean describing Thief, like hair, colours, for both old and new versions?
-
Thief: Her hair is usually tied up in a knot and kept short (know that when Thief lets her hair out, it's acutually long) and black. Her eyes are a darker purple. While she's scantally clad, her clothing is mostly black. Since, you know, she's a Thief and all. She uses knives. He ninja outfit is just that: Thief's head on a Ninja girl's body. And Clevage (In both outfits, I forgot to mention that for some reason). You can't forget the clevage. God help you if you forget the clevage.
And just to dispell any notion that I'm switching over to the "new" outfits, I only made new outfits for Thief and Hero because of the DLC theme of that particular script. Unless said otherwise, Thief and Hero are in their normal wear in the scripts.
Sorry to confuse people.
-
And Clevage. You can't forget the clevage. God help you if you forget the clevage.
God help us indeed.
Any who, I can assume this is Thief's regular outfit?
-
The ninja one? No, the other outfit that makes her scantally clad is the original outfit.
-
Alright. Thanks for the info Laze.
Clevage... That might be a problem... -_-
-
Rant time! This time it's on the PSP Go. Enjoy.
---
To be perfectly honest, this device has a mixed reaction when I think about it.
It could be good because it's smaller than the current PSP (It's espciailly smaller than my fat first gen PSP) and has an internal hard drive with 16 gigs of space. That's a lot of space. I could probably fit a couple anime series onto there and still have some room for my saved data.
But then there's the things I don't like about the PSP Go. First off, and this seems to be one of the biggest beefs when it comes to this console, is the removal of the UMD Drive if favor of digital distribution. That's understandable, considering that the UMD model didn't exactly do too well. The UMD drive also drained battery life with its moving parts. That being said, the fact that not even Sony knew how they were going to transfer the UMD games that PSP owners already have worries me.
It should also be worth mentioning that the PSP Go has the SAME battery life as when the PSP first came out... Wait, what? Wasn't the purpose of removing the UMD drive in the first place was to have better battery life? Apparantly not, as Sony seems it's smart to remove a feature and then put a smaller battery into the console. Great.
Then there's the fact that not only is the screen smaller, but it looks like the Gameboy Micro did: Really uncomfortable to hold and play. At least when the DSi was released Nintendo not only made the screen bigger, but made the console WIDER. Sony should take a page from Nintendo's book and learn to shrink the system while not splitting the fan base in half. At least Nintendo's DSi still has the DS library while sitll having DSiWare.
Then there's the price tag, which was my biggest beef until I learned that the battery life didn't change. Sony, why do you expect me to buy something that seems to be doing LESS than what my current PSP does for the price of when the PSP I bought first came out? Sorry, but wireless and Bluetooth doesn't make up for this.
And Then there's the timing of the release and announcement. The 3000 model hasn't even been out a YEAR and Sony just announced the Go. Not only that, but the console is set to release in a little more than three months from now. That's time to scrounge up the money for the system, sure, but there's going to be other expenses besides the Go depending on living situations and the possibility of owning multiple consoles. At least with the Nintendo DSi there was a three year gap between the Lite and the fact tha Nintendo added more things that the Lite didn't do only removing the GBA slot (Which people still complain about. If you had a Lite before, why do you complain? You can still play GBA games on that).
Then there's the reasoning behind the price. It's all because the Go is new. Not because there's new technology in this device. Not because Sony researched to hell and back twice to design the console. Just because it's new. You can say that Nintendo is doing the same thing with the DS, but at least Nintendo is ADDING things to the already existing console instead of removing features (I'm still believing in a DSi virtual console that covers all the Gameboy generations to make up for the lack of a GBA slot on the DSi).
In all honesty, the bad far outweighs the good that this console brings. It might still be a hit. I might even still buy it despite the fact that I speak so badly of the console now. Who knows? All we can do is wait three months and see how it goes.
If you don't agree with anything I said, feel free to debate with me. Or agree with me. Either way, this is my opinion.
Posted on: June 28, 2009, 01:09:03 AM
What, does everyone here like the Go or something? Anyways, another rant. This time on the Transformer movies. YAY.
---
I won't go into full detail over why I didn't like the Transformer movies; if you want that go to this thread (http://forum.rockmanpm.com/index.php?topic=2084.new#new) to see why.
Now to expand on this: Why the hell is it so insanely popular?
Could it be the giant robot fights? I doubt it, since most of the fights were a scrambled mess (And they're worse in the new movie so I hear).
Could it be the humor? I also doubt it, since it's the lowest form of humor with stereotypes and cock jokes aplenty.
This I don't think I could ever have an answer for. But this isn't the main reason why I'm ranting about the live action movies.
Consider for a moment the giant robot anime you love so much. Why do you like these shows? I personally like them because of the giant robots and the characters that inhabit the world. Both parts don't overpower each other, nor could they exist in the universe of giant robots without the other; A Robot can't move without a human/AI pilot, and a Human can't fight robots without a robot of their own.
There's bound to be angst somewhere down the line, right? But we can accept that since it's developing the characters and sometimes turning them into something awesome (I.E. Simon). We can also accept it since only the human characters have a personality. You could argue that the robots have a personality of their own, but they're ultimatly shaped by their pilots and the way the people of that world view those robots.
Now what happens when a Sentinent robot interacts with these characters thus throwing in more characters to develop? That depends on who is writing it. The original Transformers cartoons were a thing of magic, because not only were the robots capable of being developed as a character, there were humans as well that could also develop at the same time, and both their developments happened at the same time and rate.
Now these Transformers movies hardly develops characters, and not only that, the second movie seems to start where the first movie did. Sam had a girlfriend in Megan Fox, but he went off to college away from her. The hell?
It's odd that despite critical response to this movie (read: Negative) those that have seen the movie tended to have a different response (read: Positive). So what does this all mean? That as long as there are explosions and slow mo tits that people will just about like anything?
I'd love to experiment and see if this theory is true, but unfortunatly I don't have $200 million lying around to see if that holds true.
FUN FACT: Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen had a Budget of $200 million. It made that $200 million back in the first five days. I [tornado fang]ing hate humanity now.
tl;dr version (Honestly, I don't blame you for not reading it all. I was all over the place): Crap is crazy popular as long as there are explosions, cock jokes and tits.
-
As for not posting about the PSP Go it was probably because you made one before or something.
Anyway yeah I don't get why some people would like it.

As for not posting about the PSP Go it was probably because you made one before or something.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I knew I had done it before, but I had better points this time so I was sure I didn't.
Well, you get a re-release with bonus content for FREE.
And, I'll stop ranting for a while and work on Part three of RPM Adventures (RPM + RPG Adventures spinoff)... Eventually.
-
PSP Go will never go into my radar, do yeah. XD
As for RotF, well...
You don't need $200 milion dollars...
Close-ups of (if any) your Transformers toys plus some boobs thrown in, priceless.

Okay, I lied. Here's another rant. I'm revisiting an old topic.
---
Today's Topic: "This would be great on the 360/PS3" Redux.
Honestly, this is the reason why I'm starting to hate this particular hobby. Not because there are no good games. There are plenty of those. It's the people who just so happens to share that hobby. And things like this. (http://kotaku.com/5306547/marvelous-may-bring-its-wii-games-to-ps3-xbox-360#viewcomments)
Let me just say that I hope this DOESN'T happen. Trying to make an exclusive niche game multi-platform is generally a bad idea. Not only are you splitting up that already small niche fanbase, but there's a chance that one version of the game will have more features than other versions making those who bought one version feel bad about buying it. (I.E., Tales of Vesperia, Both Ninja Gaiden Games, Person 3, Eternal Sonata).
This is worse when the second version of the game comes out long after the first one did, meaning that those who shelled out cash for when the game first came out will have to do so AGAIN just to see all the bonus content the new version has. Again, I'm going to point at the same examples I used above.
Now, obviously this has worked since companies still plan on doing this. Wanna know why they work? Because the franchises getting the up-port are popular enough to actually get sales when the new version comes out (Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Tales of Vesperia).
Now for Marvelous games? They didn't do too well, even in their home country of Nippon. So what the hell would compell them to sell what already didn't sell well with a potentially expensive remake? Making games is expensive, espicially when those games would have to be remade from the ground up to support the new control schemes (No More Heroes, Zack and Wiki) or could already work as is on that same HD console (seriously, look at Disgaea 3. All that graphical power to play with and NIS still makes a game that looks like it's for the [tornado fang]ing PSP? Come on).
Then there's the response to this. It was absolute joy because now it's not only on the Wii any more... Are you [tornado fang]ing kidding me? It's like the Wii isn't allowed to have any good games because then you wouldn't be able to hate it as much for pandering to children and the elderly.
News flash people: The Wii is for everyone. The elderly and children just happen to fit into that "everyone" target group.
tl;dr Version: This is stupid. You're stupid for thinking this was a good idea Marvelous, and I hope you learn the error of your ways before it's too late.

Well, sadly, that ain't gonna happen, like DASH3 and Duke Nukem Forever. just leaves the irony that when this happens, movies stop being like crap, ironically being the release date of Duke Nukem Forever, DASH3's commercial airing in japan, SEGA finally stop treating thier fans like crap, Nintendo coming out with something actually playable and decent putting an end to the Wii Haters, Microsoft finalizes thier errors from the Xbox 360, and the second coming of Jesus and that's where hell freezes over.
.....
Good rant though.
-
Nintendo coming out with something actually playable and decent putting an end to the Wii Haters
That's the thing: They've already done that in the form of Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Other M, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Zelda Wii, and hinting at Pikmen 3.
It's the people that go out of their way to hate the Wii that's the problem here. Partial blame goes to Nintendo for not making things harder for them to hate on the Wii.
I think the Gameboy has proven that you don't need graphics in order to be a good console. The Sega Game Gear that came out at that time had full 16 bit graphics. But guess what? Due to short battery life and otherwise being too bulky for a handheld it lost to the Gameboy. Not because it had good games for the hardcore, it was because it had good games period. Although this was an age before hardcore and casual was used to describe how people played games.
The same thing is happening today, in the form of the Wii, PS3, and 360. Only difference here is that people [sonic slicer] and moan about the Wii's lack of titles without actually looking for themselves.
The Wii appeals to everyone, just like the Gameboy did back in the day.
-
And yet that presents another problem, people won't shut up about it and actually experiment what's best for them, like I do. Honestly, there are plenty of good titles out there for the Wii, YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK you FPS/hacknslash/whatever lovers. It's called a wide vararity of range, why the Wii is named like that Wii = Everyone.
-
That's... Exactly the point I was making, just worded differently.
I'm having difficulty believing you actually read the rant now.
-
You guys know that console faboys' lives depent on complaining, attacking other consoles, and just being plain stupid (speaking of stupid, there's a topic in GFaq's TvC board that easily surpasses this fanboys' stupidity IMO, tell me if you want the link =P), they'll die if they don't do any of that and you guys know it.
-
they'll die if they don't do any of that and you guys know it.
And that would be a bad thing?
And Taiyo, link for great justice so that I may add some ammo to my arguement.

Absolutely not, just explaining XD

It's not console fanboy stupidity, it's [tornado fang]ing 4-kids level stupidity. The most annoying part is that he goes in every topic and tries to shove his awful opinion down everyone's throat.

Ehhh... It seemed that was quite a few mistakes to the Hero DLC sprite I made...
This the fixed version (Ctrl+F5 to clear your cache of the old sprite.).

Well, you could call this an update, since I'm updating with content, kind of.
But gather round children, for I have a story to tell of an experience from XboxLive.
So I'm playing BlazBlue for the first time on Live today. Honestly, I did better than I thought I would have. Sure, I lost a lot, but then I also won some matches too. I was also winning them so bad at one point that someone actually quit during the match before I could deal the finishing blow.
This happened twice.
Unfortunatly, I only have pictures from the second time this happened. But those'll come later.
So I come across this guy, "DarkW0lf741" (Profile Here (http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/175/hni0015.jpg))
So I get into a match with him and pick my regular Noel and he chooses Ragna.
First round, it's pretty even, but I come out on top after seeing his pattern. After I won the round I heard the guy say "[tornado fang]!" in my headset.
Second round, I'm just utterly dominating. I even landed Noel's Distortion Drive just right so that its continuation will hit (Seen about ten seconds in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o25U85_EPc)). Not only that, but if the move had finished like it was supposed to, then I would have won the match.
Then I saw this... (http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9260/hni0014.jpg)
I was kind of annoyed, but I laughed. He actually didn't want to take the loss so he rage quit on me. It was awesome. Especially considering I'm not all that great at fighting games.
I then messaged him a while later asking why he disconnected on me. I haven't heard back from him yet, but I'll keep you four readers updated as things happen.
-
That happened to me once when I was winning a pokemon match against one of my friends then again in my chemistry class when I was playinf Mario cart DS.
-
In your case you could scold them in person afterwards.
I can't.
I did give him a bad player review, though. Maybe that's why I haven't heard anything from him, since that made him avoided?
-
Meh I'm not sure if that would be possible since I probablywon't be in the same class as the second guy and the first one is my friend...but he's the biggest noob I know and is not really that bright either. :|
-
Well, well... Who knows for sure... >0<
But given the circumstances... Yeah... Oh well. :P
-
So you suck at fighting games and yet people ragequit you. Heh, that has to be an ego boost right there :P
BTW, did you get to read my links before the second one was deleted? That's where it got better. Oh, and remember me to kick your ass in US TVC :P
-
So you suck at fighting games and yet people ragequit you. Heh, that has to be an ego boost right there :P
Indeed it was. It's nice to know that there are people who suck more than me.
BTW, did you get to read my links before the second one was deleted? That's where it got better.
I read them, not all the way though... Wait one got deleted? Man, now I'll never know how it ended.
Oh, and remember me to kick your ass in US TVC :P
FFFFFFFFF
FINE. IT'S ON, [sonic slicer].
Actually, I was pretty decent at TVC. I never could get Baroque to work, but otherwised I managed on my own.
-
Hm..I haven't done much inna while. Best leave this here for now.
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/991/playerq.jpg)
Enjoy! 8D

Wow, it's been a while.
Here's some new stuff. It's not RPG Adventures, but it's the first thing I've posted her that's been in a novel format. So enjoy.
The link is here because I'm too lazy to copy and paste the story here. (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/art/Vampire-Love-Story-132049196)

Just dropping a little cameo of yours (or what used to be you anyways) here while I go read the story that for some reason I forgot to read when it was posted. (http://forum.rockmanpm.com/index.php?topic=178.msg138264#msg138264)

Your Twilight parody >>>> Twilight
-
Posted on: August 10, 2009, 09:44:14 PM
Anything >>>> Twilight
I'm sorry, I just had to fix that.
Fun fact: At first I thought Twilight was written by a retarded monkey that bang on a type writer and occasionally fling his poo at it, and somehow got it published. Then I read Twilight. Now I'm looking for a retarded monkey so I can apologize to it and a hazard suit to wear for said apology.
-
So you read Twilight...
Mind a short review?
-
To be honest, I couldn't even bring myself to finish the first book, let alone read the whole series... But from what I read, I can accurately say this: I can make better pieces of literature in my toilet.
Although I haven't read the whole series, I decided to go spoil myself to see what happens in the later book... And I'm not to happy with what I found.
There's a birth scene that both goes against the laws of nature and the rules that the author herself put into place that vampires can't have babies AND is a whole heaping load of disturbing (SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO CARE. Edward performs a C-section with his teeth). And the fact an 18 year old shape shifter that calls himself a werewolf imprints (i.e. wants to bone) with said freak of nature baby BEFORE SHE'S EVEN BORN. Last but not least what could have been an epic fight turns into a [tornado fang]ing debate. What the hell.
And the whole "mythology ruining" thing didn't fly with me either. Seriously, the backwards vampire in Chibi Vampire (or Karin, if you're really picky with names) is more of a vampire than the sparkly pussified vampires in Twilight are.
-
...
Wow...
Words... Escape me at the moment.

...It's bad this gave me the urge to read it, isn't it..?
-
...It's bad this gave me the urge to read it, isn't it..?
I'm warning you now, it actually physically hurts to read it.
Oh right, while I'm here I might as well say a few things.
- I have no idea if I'm going to continue the RPM Adventures crossover scripts. I think at the time the only joke I really wanted to make was the "big guns" joke... And well, I made it within two scripts. Who knows. Maybe something will happen here that will make me laugh as hard as the "big guns" joke did when I thought of it.
- Although I'm not expecting anything, I'm still accepting questions for "Ask RPG Adventures". Essentially, you send me a PM with a question you want to ask any of the characters that have appeared in the RPG Adventures scripts, and I post their responses here.
Posted on: August 15, 2009, 01:53:37 AM
This was indeed based off a true story. I didn't change the names of those involved because I'm a lazy bastard. (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/art/RPG-Adventures-Amazon-Journey-134637872)

By Blaze version you mean this I assume 8D

Heh, at least be glad you didn't get something like this XD

I've actually seen this one in stores, I wonder if anyone ever bought it.

Yeah, it's not like I tried very hard to hide what I was talking about. I just changed the names to something RPG Adventures related so I could post some content into this topic. So if no one ended up figuring it out I would have been very surprised.
Heh, at least be glad you didn't get something like this XD

Now I have to wonder if that Chaos Black Version actually works. And if you actually have it.
-
Oh, no, I just found the picture in the same page as the FR one. I got it from here:
http://trsrockin.com/fakegames.html
Honestly, I'm amazed that I've actually seen a number of those games in there in stores.
-
I have to say that looks quite official for a pokedumb like me.
-
Pokemon Diamond (And Jade!)! 8D
Ahem, well, at else things worked out good in the end. :3
-
So right now Gamestop and Rooster Teeth Productions (the guys who make Red Vs Blue) are having a contest. The contest involves sending in your idea for a PSA(Public Service Announcement) that could actually be made by the RvB team. Is this awesome? To me it is, since I actually have a chance at winning.
For those of you interested (and for those of you who are not, screw you I'm posting it anyways) here's the PSA idea that I entered.
After having a righteous ass kicking delivered by Sargent Johnson (with eye lasers!) the Red Vs Blue Squad decided to have a strategy meeting. Sarge's plan is purely suicidal... For Griff. Griff objects to this idea while Simmons kisses up to Sarge as usual. Sarge menacingly points his shotgun at Griff as a way to threaten him to go with his plan, when the shotgun goes off accidentally killing Griff. Sarge is happy at first, but then mourns the death of Griff saying that he'll never get to kill him again. Simmons blames the accident on the new suit, neither Church or Sarge is buying it. Just as Sarge finally admits that he was wrong to have treated Griff the way he did, Griff respawns next to Sarge remarking that they kicked him out of the afterlife. At first the group is shocked to see Griff alive again; after the shock wears off the group begin peppering Griff with questions as to how he came back from the dead. After getting less than average answers, Sarge asks for another "Volunteer." After a quick "Not it" Simmons reluctantly accepts the mission of dying. Sarge shoots Simmons with his shotgun. Church complains about how he wanted to kill Simmons. Sarge replies that Church couldn't hide the side of a barn even if he were directly in front of it. Seconds later Simmons respawns raving about some awe inspiring experience he had. Something about world peace and talking dogs and nonsense like that. Sarge and Church are disappointed since Simmons' answer made little sense. Church then complains that when he died things didn't work out like this. Sarge remarks about how he just found his next volunteer. Church slow backs away, making up some excuse as to why he can't die yet. The PSA ends with Church running off in another direction, fading to the credits. Seconds later, a gunshot is heard. Sarge celebrates his kill, Simmons congratulates Sarge on his shot, and Griff is amazed Sarge got the kill from that range with a shotgun.
(I should have a new RPG Adventures soon, I promise!)
-
Well, sounds like fun XD
I can't say how much of a chance you have without comparing it with other entries, but good luck there. What's the prize anyways?
I also made something you should like that I have yet to post =P
-
I also made something you should like that I have yet to post =P
On a scale of one to ten, just how relevant to my interests is it? I'm just curious.
Hopefully I have some decent chances of winning, since apparently I supposed to send in a script and the online entry form thingy said to just send in an idea. Besides, I doubt I could actually write a RvB script and make it funny. I like the characters and all but I don't think I would be able to do them justice like the Rooster Teeth team can (no, it's not sucking up.)
As for the prizes, I have no idea. I'm just assuming that it's ODST/RvB related.
-
Hmm, well free stuff is free stuff, so that's good I guess.
On a scale of one to ten, just how relevant to my interests is it? I'm just curious.
Not exactly sure, but you'll see later today, it's what comes on my "to post" list after singing xD
-
Hmm... That entry sounds fun... XD
And good luck!
-
I just read the rules again. The winner gets picked by Rooster Teeth, but apparently the finalist list that Rooster Teeth gets to pick from is going to be picked by the sponsor of the contest.
The sponsor in this case being Gamestop.
I don't know if this means I'll have more of a chance at winning or less.
All I know is that it royally sucks unless Rooster Teeth outright says that they'll be picking both the finalists and the winner.
Also that it seems to take almost $5,000 to make a machinima. Holy [parasitic bomb].

Holy hell, I haven't posted in here for a while.
But I update with the RPG Adventures Halloween Special! Cameo in the next RPG Adventures to whoever can guess the costumes.
---
Author: Alright, is the punch ready?
Hero: Punch is prepared and unspiked.
Author: Snacks?
Hero: Snacks are ready and delicious... Or so says the chef.
Author: ...How about the background check on the chef?
Hero: He's clean.
The Author sighs in relief.
Author: Has all the precautions been made so that Thief doesn't steal everyone's wallets?
The Author and Hero turn to see Thief in a cage, dressed up as a yellow bird.
Thief: Is this really necessary?
Author and Hero: Yes.
Thief: B-but... I tat I tay a putty tat.
Author: Good impression, but you aren't getting out.
Thief mumbles expletives that would be censored as soon as I wrote them.
Author: Alright then, now that's settled let's welcome th-
Player: Hold on a minute!
Author: Huh?
The Author and Hero turn to see Hero, LazyMan, and several other characters that The Author has made that hasn't made an appearance yet.
Author: What is it now?
Player: We demand our spots in this Halloween special!
Several of the characters behind Player yell in agreement.
LazyMan: Speak for yourself. I'm just here for the food.
Suddenly a red haired young man pushes his way out from the crowd.
Ken Baron: And when the hell are you going to write my book?!
Author: It'll get done when it- Hey wait a minute. Player?
Player: Yeah?
Author: Why are you leading this rebellion? We're the same person!
Player: It's simple really, it's because SHUT THE HELL UP!
Author: Fine, you can appear at the party. On one condition.
Player: And that is?
Author: You have to wear a costume.
Player: Deal.
-A Half Hour Later, at the actual party-
Hero: Waaaah! I'm sad because a girl I just met recently got killed by some long haired guy!
Ken: This one's not sure he's supposed to sound like that.
Hero: Yeah, but that's what he sounds like to me. Nice replica sword, by the way.
Ken: Replica?
LazyMan: These snacks could be better. They taste too much like blood.
Edwardo: Hey, it's hard cooking with blood!
LazyMan: You'd think someone like you would know how to do it.
Edwardo: Hey! Don't make me go Raging Demon on your ass!
Player: So, I've covered wars, ya know?
Author: Yes, you've mentioned this about twenty times.
Player: Just thought you'd like to know.
Thief: I tat I tay a putty tat on your chest!
Player: You tat right, Thief.
Player: How's the costume feel, Author?
Author: It's hot as hell and hard to move in.
Later the group left the party to go Trick or Treating. But due to an accident that no one shall ever mention again, the group was barred from Trick or Treating ever again.
Player: Hey, I said I was sorry!
Ken: I've seen some messed up things in my life, and that has to take the cake.
Author: Way to make me look bad, [Bumpity-Boom!].
Player looks at Hero and Thief for sympathy.
Thief: I don't even want to steal from you anymore.
Hero: You make me sick...
Player slumps and sits in a corner as the party continues after the incident.
-
Let's see... Thief as Tweety, Ken as Sephiroth, Hero as Cloud (I think...)
The rest... Darn, no idea. XD
-
Of the three you guessed, everyone is right except for Ken.
-
Ok...
Replica swords... Too many characters with swords! >0<
-
Hint on Ken: Look at what color his hair is, his name, and the way he talks during the party.
I think that's the only hint I'm going to give.
-
Hmm... Red hair...
Hang on... Kenshin?
-
You are correct, sir.
Now let's see if someone can guess all of them. I left subtle hints in the character's speech.
-
XD I wonder what Player did that now everyone hates him.
Oh, and:
Hero: Cloud
Ken: Kenshin (nice touch making him say "this one" ;P)
Thief: Tweety
Edwardo: Akuma
Player: Frank West (hmm, does this have something to do with the "accident"? XD)
Lazyman: himself
Author: is he even wearing a costume?
-
Author seems so...
He did say it's hard to move in and is hot as hell... Why does this sound so familiar...
-
Author is indeed wearing a costume.
And since I think I was to vague in the original script, I'll give you another hint in Author's costume.
Hint: Think Mecha.
Other than that, Taiyo got everything right.
-
Gurren Lagan related?
-
No, but the mecha that Author is dressed as does have to combine.
Also, look at what Thief says to Author about his costume.
-
Putty cat on chest... don't tell me! GaoGaiGar!
Anyway glad to see more story here!
-
Oh hey, Borockman got the costume for Author right.
...Although to be fair, all three of you will get a cameo in a future RPG Adventures.
So congrats.
-
Well, after all I've done it was about damn time j/k XD
-
Oh... GaoGaiGar... Awesome. XD
And hooray~
-
guess the reason i didn't answer. >>
-
It was too easy? I was still LazyMan when I posted the story? You weren't online when I posted the story?
That's all I got for the moment.

And now for something with no real rhyme or reason to it. It keeps my mind off of losing my dinner.
If someone were to draw this they would be awesome and earn themselves a cookie. Yes, a real cookie. I'll find a way to get it to you even if I have to break the space time continuum to do it!

Hero: Thief-Chan! Thief-Chan!
Hero: Can I have my armor back now?
Thief: No.
Hero is in nothing but his underwear
Hero: Nyro~n.
Hero: Author-kun! Author-kun!
Hero: Why are there dragons in swamps?
Author: Because there are.
Hero: Nyro~n.
Hero: Player-kun! Player-kun!
Hero: Why haven't you played RPG Adventures for the past couple months?
Player: I've been busy.
Hero: Nyro~n.

So you're doing nyoron skits now? XD

Yeah, it keeps my mind off of being sick.
And there wasn't an attention whoring message here before. You're crazy if you think so.

I'll just leave this here... (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/art/Vampire-Love-Story-Fresh-Tuna-144332794)
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go bang my head on the wall.

Mermaid alien cannibal ghost from planet 51 that sparkles? XD
After reading a "summary" of the rest of the Twilight books I'd like to see what you'd come up with were you to parody all the books.

More sequel?!
I'm haunting you!

Well, it's that time of the year again. A time of massive stress while at the same time massive cheer. This portion of the year is just one giant cluster [tornado fang] of emotions, driving to see relatives and going from store to store emptying your wallets to the point where your wallets no longer have bottoms so any money you put into them just falls right out. It is also a time of gorging yourselves both with food and things you don't really need but want anyways. I'll admit that I have my fair share of goodies I don't need for survival and enough food to feed three of me for week. For some, it is also the time of the year of lying in bed; far too sick to actually do any of the above. Right now I'm feeling a cold coming on and it has me concerned.
I of course speak of the holiday season, consisting mostly of Christmas and Thanksgiving.
...But that is not what I'm writing about this specific moment.
I'm sure you've noticed by now that the RPM Awards topic is in full swing, with categories and people voting. It's also complete with signatures on the fourms being dominated by banners made to tempt people to vote a certain way (PB, I'm looking at you). That being said some people don't need to try that hard to win awards and they just come to them naturally.
Now here's where I finally stop rambling and get to the point.
The main reason I've written this is to ask all four of you who read my topic to vote for me for the "Best Writer" category. Feel free to vote for me for anything else if you want, but that's the main category that I would like to see votes for me go towards.
The best part of all of this is that since I'm mainly a writer I can post this as content and somewhat get away with it.
...But just so I don't get in trouble with the mods I might as well make some announcements.
First of is that I'm working with a few friends on a Pokemon comic. I'm not sure when the first page will be done/uploaded since the idea came about yesterday, but pretty soon I'll be posting Pokemon comics that I've taken part in writing in the topic.
Now for something else, mostly regarding the holidays.
From December 20th to sometime in January I'll will be traveling to Boston for a week, then if I recall correctly to New Hampshire for another week. Now from what I hear both of these areas will be pretty cold, so I'll be freezing my ass off.
However, if you happen to be in the area and see a bored young man walking with a large group of adults and a little girl feel free to wave. I don't promise that I'll see it, but it's the thought that counts, right?
That being said, I do plan on doing an RPG Adventures Christmas Special before I leave.
tl;dr version: Vote for me, I'm sick, I'll be gone for a while, Pokemon comic and RPG Adventures Christmas Special coming soonish.
-
The main reason I've written this is to ask all four of you who read my topic to vote for me for the "Best Writer" category. Feel free to vote for me for anything else if you want, but that's the main category that I would like to see votes for me go towards.
I was doing that anyways if I ever stop being too lazy to fill the list.
-
I plan on voting eventually, but it's not so much the fact that I'm too lazy to fill the list it's that I can hardly think straight.
Thus the rambling. Oh god the rambling.
-
You didn't really have to say it, you are already in... XD
As for the story...
... More... Please... *brain bleeds*
-
So I got some commission art (http://pyrofire2007.deviantart.com/art/Kiriban-Commission-1-146292992) from the guy who draws Eyepatch-Tan from a contest I won. It's awesome.
But so I'm still posting comment here's an RPG Adventures Short.
---
Hero: Hey Thief?
Thief: Yeah, Hero?
Hero: Why is it so dark?
Thief: Because no one is playing the game, Hero.
Hero: Oh... Why is no one playing the game?
Thief: They're probably doing something else.
Hero: Like what?
Thief: I dunno. Player type stuff I guess.
Hero: Oh...
Meanwhile.
Player: God damn Xstation ThWii breaking down making me not play games.
Player packs up his Xstation ThWii to be sent out to the company.
Player: Luckily NinsonSoft said that my console would be back before Christmas, so I can still get a binge run during winter break!
With that bit of foreshadowing Player sends off his console to get repaired. Thankfully it will be back in time for any holiday specials that have been planned.
-
Thief in full black outfit looks awesome!
Hmm, @ holiday special, can't wait. 8)
-
That is one kickass commission you got... Brilliant mouse kill. 8D
And hehe, holiday specials... XD
-
So I heard you like Christmas, so I put some RPG Adventures into your Christmas so you can deck the halls while you parody game mechanics. (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/art/RPG-Adventures-Christmas-Thing-147226306)
I have no idea if I did that meme right...
Yeah, RPG Adventures CHristmas special is up. I almost didn't write it.
Oh, one more thing: I'll be traveling to Boston and New Hampshire for two weeks starting Sunday, so there won't be anything from me until I get back from that.
So basically nothing out of the ordinary. Carry on.
EDIT: Dur, I HTML bad. Hopefully I HTML good now.
-
Well, do take care during those 2 weeks.
And lawl at the Christmas Special. Best scene transition evar. XD
-
Well, that was a fun read, Player reminds me of, well, me kinda XD
Oh, one more thing: I'll be traveling to Boston and New Hampshire for two weeks starting Sunday, so there won't be anything from me until I get back from that.
Well, take care then.

And now for a birthday gift parody song (http://teaofjay.deviantart.com/art/Ninja-Rap-No-not-that-one-150014673)
You want a parody song for your birthday? Just remind me a week before your birthday and I should be able to get it write you a hilarious parody song.
-
That's a rather catchy rap there... And one week?
What about a few months? 8D
-
Oh hey, a new RPG Adventures. The first one of the year too!
Also, whoever draws/sprites/does anything with imagery with that last line gets a word arts thing from me about whatever you want. THE POWER IS YOURS.
---
Hero: Hey Thief, I just need to stop in this armory real quick.
Thief: 'Kay. Make it quick.
Hero skips happily into the Armory while Thief stands outside and waits. This is the norm when it comes to shops; Hero enters while Thief waits outside. She enters with Hero into other buildings of course but you don't usually see her since she's busy looting the place. No one suspects a thing either so repeats of the looting are possible.
Random Guy: Hey, did you know that pressing Select lets you put space behind it?
Thief: What?
Random Guy: It's true! I told that to your blonde friend and he benefited greatly from it!
Thief: How would he benefit-
Just then Hero came out of the armor armed to the teeth; He was holding just about every weapon you could imagine. There was even an RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) Launcher!
Thief: Random Guy?
Random Guy: Yeah?
Thief: I hate you.
Hero: I HAVE SO MUCH MURDER!
-
lol that is pretty funny.
-
... Oh crap, so much murder... XD
-
Why does that last line remind me so much of Fawful XD
And I'll do something as soon as I can find the perfect expression to copy for this scene =P
-
I HAVE SO MUCH MURDER!
Here I thought thief is the crazy maniacal one. XD
-
You just have to pull the right strings for Hero. XD
Or in this case, pressing the Select button. XD
-
Everybody in RPG Adventures is maniacal.
Especially Random Guy. He has enough maniacalness to become an overlord by accident.
-
Lol, with two hot demon babes as subordinate.
-
Still needs some form of continuation. XD
-
Indeed...and, uh, I didn't really get what select did btw >.>
-
It was a reference to a podcast that I listen to. I didn't expect anyone to get it, I just found it funny to throw in. Plus it adds to Random Guy's character of telling Thief/Hero that pushing buttons does things. Two birds, one stone.

I've been doing something, and I've been throwing around the idea of doing something different. I'm kind of on the fence, so that's why I'm asking you guys before I do anything if you'll bother to read it.
This is kind of what I'm thinking about:
[spoiler=Let's Play...](http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/8571/pokemoncrystal000.png)
Note that all the pictures will be in the Spoiler tag so the pages don't stretch.[/spoiler]
So what do you think guys? Yay or nay?
-
Yay.
-
Sure why not, but why not wait for HGSS?
-
HGSS is actually the main reason I wanna do this. It'd be in celebration of HGSS coming out, and I really like Johto.
Plus own and play though HGSS before I emulate it.
EDIT: OH I forgot to mention. If I do this you guys will be deciding whether I play as a male or female trainer as well as his/her name (no more than seven characters). Choose wisely
-
I did this on my live stream last year. I think it's a fun idea and after that, you will be ready for HGSS. ^^
Play as Crystal, please~ :3
-
Yay please!
And yay for Crystal too. :3
-
So begins Crystal's adventures in my favorite region of all time: Johto.
This is going to be fun.
[spoiler=So the adventure begins... With an intro. 56K Warning]

Well, this is my room. Kinda small... Downstairs I go.
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/7764/pokemoncrystal039.png)
Man, Mom should be a security guard or something. She has no problems noticing that I'm leaving the house.
(http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3491/pokemoncrystal040.png)
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9407/pokemoncrystal041.png)

(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/2882/pokemoncrystal045.png)
It's about time!
After that we set the day to Tuesday, set Daylights Saving time on, and she explained how to use the phone despite me telling her I knew how to use it.
Moving on...
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/7580/pokemoncrystal067.png)
Let's go see what Elm wants.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6889/pokemoncrystal068.png)
Hey, I wonder who that red haired guy is? Why is he spying on Professor Elm? I'll just go ask him! He looks friendly enough.
(http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/944/pokemoncrystal069.png)
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8580/pokemoncrystal070.png)
(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/8295/pokemoncrystal071f.png)
I'm actually heading in there right now. Want to come in with me to see what it looks like from the inside?
It looks like I startled him, since he responded like this:
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8542/pokemoncrystal072.png)
Well nothing really, I was just won-
(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9073/pokemoncrystal073.png)
Hey wait what are you-
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/6029/pokemoncrystal074.png)
Pain!
(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/3235/pokemoncrystal075.png)
What an [dark hold]! He just drop kicked me! The next time I see him I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/1695/pokemoncrystal076.png)
With that behind me, I'm finally going to see what Elm wants.
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/262/pokemoncrystal078.png)
(http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/5491/pokemoncrystal079.png)
Of course you do. Just so long as you stop hanging that over my head the better.

(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6601/pokemoncrystal101.png)
"POKEMON."
...Seriously? His name is Mr. Pokemon?

(http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/4325/pokemoncrystal110.png)
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/8651/pokemoncrystal111.png)
Sure, I'll go. It's not like I have any other choice.
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/15/pokemoncrystal112.png)
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/8300/pokemoncrystal113.png)
Oh right, I agreed to do that didn't I?

(http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/5598/pokemoncrystal115.png)
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/4826/pokemoncrystal116.png)
Alright, let's see what my options are...
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/2930/pokemoncrystal117.png)
Holy [parasitic bomb], his back is on fire. That's hardcore.
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/237/pokemoncrystal118.png)
(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/4619/pokemoncrystal119q.png)
I don't even need to see the other two Pokemon to know this is the right choice.
(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2549/pokemoncrystal120.png)
"Pokemon too!"
Damn straight it is. Just look at it! It's back is on fire!
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/7498/pokemoncrystal123.png)
(http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/5091/pokemoncrystal124.png)
Hell yeah I will. I got the perfect nickname too!
(http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/2773/pokemoncrystal125.png)
Heh, my wit knows no bounds.
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/4665/pokemoncrystal126.png)

(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/4771/pokemoncrystal128.png)

(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/7568/pokemoncrystal130.png)
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9670/pokemoncrystal131.png)
Somehow I think you'll be calling me more than I'll be calling you.
I got Elm's number now. Woo.
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/8151/pokemoncrystal133.png)
(http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3972/pokemoncrystal134.png)

Oh yeah, I forgot he bought that.
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/9537/pokemoncrystal136.png)
Right.
As I was leaving his only aide came up to me...
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/87/pokemoncrystal137.png)
"for your errand."
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/4340/pokemoncrystal139.png)
Hell yeah! That will be useful!
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/4186/pokemoncrystal142.png)
"always busy"
I'm sure you two are.
Next time we'll be going to see Mr. Pokemon, and we'll see that [dark hold] again too!
[/spoiler]
Oh, I'll be just about catching anything I run across while doing this LP, so if you have a nickname for a Pokemon you want to see feel free to post it. I may use it if it's good.
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It has begun. :3
BackBurner... Brilliant. XD
-
There are other pokémon besides Cyndaquil to pick from? 8D
-
Baro isn't going to make an appearance, is he? ...I hope not.
-
You make PB proud. ^^
I hope you keep doing these. I laughed. x3
-
Thanks for the great feedback guys. Although I'm kind of disappointed since none of you guys aren't giving me nicknames for Pokemon. Like I said before if it's good, I'll more than likely use it.
With that out of the way, back to adventure!
[spoiler=Mr. Pokemon is actually not crazy. Also, Crystal gets hit again.]
(http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/7339/pokemoncrystal144.png)
To adventure! I'll just swing by Mr. Pokemon's house, get his discovery and be back by dinner. Piece of cake.
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3145/pokemoncrystal145.png)
You know, I can't help but think that maybe having the only pathway to any sort of civilization be covered in tall grass where wild Pokemon live isn't such a good idea.
EDIT: For whatever reason I posted this twice. I don't know how I did that. But I removed the second post.
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/6167/pokemoncrystal148.png)
But I don't need to worry, since I have BackBurner! He kicks all kinds of ass.
Then I ran into this guy:
(http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/5051/pokemoncrystal149.png)
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/6665/pokemoncrystal150.png)
He was an oddball. Seriously... Although thinking about it, there were a lot of people on the route that just stood there and told me random things. Weird.
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/8187/pokemoncrystal151.png)
Along the way BackBurner learned how to make a smoke screen. This Pokemon just gets cooler with every second.
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/6830/pokemoncrystal153.png)
And I make it to Cherrygrove City fairly unscathed.
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/5296/pokemoncrystal154.png)
(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/57/pokemoncrystal155.png)
I'm sure he says that to everyone and I just happened to actually be a new trainer. So I just nod politely.
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/1396/pokemoncrystal156.png)
(http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/2246/pokemoncrystal157.png)
(http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/7950/pokemoncrystal158c.png)
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/716/pokemoncrystal159.png)
Might as well take him up on this offer. Outside of how awesome BackBurner is I know little to nothing about Pokemon.
Plus he looks like he REALLY wants to give me this little tour. I might as well be nice and make him happy.

Oh man, that sounds expensive. I'd better use it sparingly. (I later found out that healing Pokemon is free. Now I just have to wonder who the hell is paying for all of this.)
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/3332/pokemoncrystal165.png)
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8646/pokemoncrystal166.png)

(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8503/pokemoncrystal170.png)
Well, since it's the only visible and currently the only route out of the town that I can see that's probably where I'm going next.
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/4994/pokemoncrystal171.png)
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8824/pokemoncrystal172.png)

What a nice old man. Well, I got no where else to go but Route 30 to Mr. Pokemon's house.
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6393/pokemoncrystal183.png)
I hope Mr. Pokemon's name is just something he picked because he's such an expert on Pokemon... If not, he has the most unfortunate name in the world.
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/3977/pokemoncrystal184.png)
I am a berry bandit. I'll just talk to whoever lives in this house to see if it's okay.
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5239/pokemoncrystal189.png)
As it turns out not only was it okay but the guy inside gave me another berry. Man, the people in Johto are so nice!
(http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/372/pokemoncrystal192.png)
And I found an Antidote! I'm not sure if I'll ever need this since I doubt I'll be going far enough to encounter poison.
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1463/pokemoncrystal193.png)
Then I found these guys blocking the path with their Pokemon battle.
(http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/5245/pokemoncrystal194.png)
"TACKLE!"

(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/1530/pokemoncrystal197.png)
It's a battle between two Rattata. I don't think that's a very big battle.
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8384/pokemoncrystal198.png)
Right next to Mr. Pokemon's house I picked this berry. How did I know it was Mr. Pokemon's house?
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/712/pokemoncrystal199.png)
This very helpful sign.

That's cool and creepy at the same time.
(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7421/pokemoncrystal221.png)
If by "rare" you mean "awesome" you'd be correct.

(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5431/pokemoncrystal225.png)
Is it because I'm awesome?

I'm totally going to treat BackBurner right! I'm just going to make him battle cute cuddly animals for fun and profit.
(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2241/pokemoncrystal230.png)
Opps, I think he heard me.
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/7772/pokemoncrystal231.png)
"Unlike a certain Red punk..."

(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/6606/pokemoncrystal238.png)
I did a slight victory shuffle until Mr. Pokemon and Oak gave me funny looks. It was so worth it.
(http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/9233/pokemoncrystal239.png)
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/4407/pokemoncrystal240.png)

"usual radio show"
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6471/pokemoncrystal244.png)
And then he left. Well, might as well go back too. Before I left Mr. Pokemon healed my Pokemon. I'll repeat myself: Everyone in Johto is nice... Except for one person.
(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4521/pokemoncrystal249.png)
Totally called it.
(http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/3046/pokemoncrystal250.png)
(http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/4710/pokemoncrystal251.png)

(http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9059/pokemoncrystal253.png)
Wasn't I supposed to be calling him when things went wrong? Whatever, I was heading that way anyways.
(http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/8366/pokemoncrystal255.png)
Metal gear?!
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/8679/pokemoncrystal256.png)
No, it's just [dark hold] again.
(http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/511/pokemoncrystal257.png)
Yeah, isn't he awesome?
(http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/623/pokemoncrystal258.png)
I'm not a wimp!
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/5954/pokemoncrystal259.png)
Stop doing that! God, you're such an [dark hold]!
(http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/3103/pokemoncrystal260.png)
Yeah, you're an [dark hold].
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/3912/pokemoncrystal261.png)
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/4146/pokemoncrystal262.png)
Well, okay. Are you just going to let it out of it-
(http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/5489/pokemoncrystal263.png)
Oh, we're going to battle. Okay.
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/5394/pokemoncrystal264.png)
Hiding your name won't make you any less of an [dark hold]!
(http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/523/pokemoncrystal266.png)
Then he sent out a mini-crocodile. That's cool and all, but no where near as cool as BackBurner.
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/6050/pokemoncrystal267.png)
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/640/pokemoncrystal268.png)
Case in point.
This battle is pretty boring so I'm just going to skip to the good part.
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/811/pokemoncrystal270.png)
Ah yeah.
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4276/pokemoncrystal273.png)
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8002/pokemoncrystal274.png)
Your Pokemon wasn't very good. I also got money for winning. Awesome!
(http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/9876/pokemoncrystal276.png)
(It looks like I'm posting the same screenshot over and over again, but I'm not. He seriously does this a lot.)
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/2364/pokemoncrystal277.png)
I'm sorry, I couldn't quite catch that.
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4331/pokemoncrystal278.png)
"POKEMON Trainer."
Well that's nice, but seriously what's your-
(http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/3306/pokemoncrystal281.png)
Then he hit me and ran off. Did I mention that he's an [dark hold]?
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/5817/pokemoncrystal282.png)
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7315/pokemoncrystal283.png)
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5839/pokemoncrystal284.png)
That sounds like... Solid Snake?! Awesome! I'll probably get to battle him!
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/8291/pokemoncrystal285.png)
"do that!"
Not really. Hell, I heard three years ago there was a team of people that did just that for fun and profit. Mostly profit.
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2748/pokemoncrystal287.png)
(http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/6928/pokemoncrystal288.png)
The Pokemon's fine. It's with Solid Snake after all.
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/700/pokemoncrystal289.png)
(http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/7007/pokemoncrystal290.png)
You take that back! Solid Snake may not always do the best things but he's not evil.
Then I smacked the aide and walked off. He cried. Luckily no on else heard anything and talked to me like nothing happened.
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1298/pokemoncrystal291.png)
Yeah, Solid Snake took it.
(http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/439/pokemoncrystal292.png)
(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8997/pokemoncrystal293.png)
I'm sure he didn't tell you much.
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6411/pokemoncrystal294.png)
(http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/5899/pokemoncrystal295.png)
Somehow I knew it was too good to be true. It just had to have been him.
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2563/pokemoncrystal296.png)
(http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/2812/pokemoncrystal297.png)
I didn't say that, but I did battle him. He's a real as-oh wait, I'd better watch my language around the law.
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7122/pokemoncrystal298.png)
Not really. He kept mumbling every time he said him name. A real A-hole.
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/8660/pokemoncrystal299.png)
Wait, what? No! That's not what I said!
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3151/pokemoncrystal300.png)
Wait! Don't leave! You're making a mistake!
Then the cop left. It looks like I'll have to catch [dark hold] myself since the police obviously aren't going to be of any help.
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2739/pokemoncrystal301.png)
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5911/pokemoncrystal302.png)
"discovery?"
It's funny how Elm went from tears and shock back to all business. He may suck, but I'll give him credit where credit is due: He knows the time and place for moping.
I gave him the egg Mr. Pokemon gave me.
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6783/pokemoncrystal306.png)
It's an egg. Don't drop it, I want to make an omelet out of it on the off chance it's not a Pokemon egg.
(http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/544/pokemoncrystal307.png)
You're the professor here, not me! You're supposed to know this! God you really do suck.

"And it's a really convenient way to introduce a new gameplay mechanic!"
(http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/1570/pokemoncrystal309.png)
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/3667/pokemoncrystal310.png)
I'm not sure how everyone can see what's in my pockets before I take it out. It scares me and intrigues me.
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7411/pokemoncrystal311.png)
"incredible!"
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8195/pokemoncrystal313.png)

(http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/4333/pokemoncrystal315.png)
From the sound of things he really isn't. He kept mumbling about some red kid. I dunno.
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5329/pokemoncrystal316.png)
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1712/pokemoncrystal317.png)
That's what Mom always tells me.
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/9649/pokemoncrystal318.png)
(http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/4193/pokemoncrystal319.png)
Why wouldn't I be? BackBurner and I are two awesome people.
(http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7413/pokemoncrystal320.png)
(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/5189/pokemoncrystal321.png)
I might as well, since I've got what it takes to be the Champ, apparently.
(http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/5497/pokemoncrystal322.png)
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/683/pokemoncrystal323.png)
Oh hey, that's actually not that far away.
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6107/pokemoncrystal324.png)
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5695/pokemoncrystal325.png)
For a brief moment Elm actually looked inspirational. Then I remembered who I was talking to.
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/671/pokemoncrystal326.png)
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7374/pokemoncrystal327.png)
I was going to do that anyways. God, why do you suck so much?
As I was leaving the Aide approached me, eyes red from crying.
(http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5739/pokemoncrystal328.png)
And he gave me these. Awesome!
Next time I talk to Mom, catch Pokemon, and go to Violet City for my first gym battle!
[/spoiler]

You must be having a splendid adventure so far, comrade. The red kid certainly fights dirty. He can go to hell.

Oh yeah, the police is useful as always...

... a screenshot lets play?
seriously?

... a screenshot lets play?
seriously?
Yeah, a screenshot Let's Play.
From what I've learned Pokemon isn't exactly the best game to LP in the video format. Plus this still let's me flex my writing muscle while playing video games. Two birds, one stone.
Besides, It's worked before. (http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Pokemon%20Crystal/)
-
I was hoping you wouldn't do the totally overused thing of naming the rival like that, but since it was an "accident" I guess I'll let it slide :P
Oh, and name whatever Zubat you catch Batman, just because.
-
Ahole... Lol... XD
Well... All I can think at the moment is to name Mareep Sheep Man. XD
I'm not too good with nicknames. XD
Baro isn't going to make an appearance, is he? ...I hope not.
... *curls into a fetal position, rocking back and forth*
-
Unfortunately, Mareep doesn't show up in Crystal. If it did I so totally would name it Sheepman.
Well, it turns out that I underestimated just how many screenshots it would take just to get to Violet Town, much less go through the Gym Battle. So instead of including that in this part the Gym Battle will be in the next update.
With that out of the way, back to adventure!
[spoiler=Helpful Mom is helpful. Plus plentiful Pocket Monster catching.]
(http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/6050/pokemoncrystal333.png)
Welp, better tell Mom I'm going on a grand adventure. Hope she takes it well.
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5578/pokemoncrystal334.png)
Yeah, just don't touch its back. That orange stuff isn't fur.
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/8810/pokemoncrystal335.png)
Professor Elm gave it to me.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1838/pokemoncrystal336.png)
Oh, by the way, Professor Oak gave me a Pokedex so now I'm off to parts unknown.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6852/pokemoncrystal337.png)
Thanks for basically restating what I had just literally said.
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8706/pokemoncrystal338.png)
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9158/pokemoncrystal339.png)
You could probably keep money for me. That'd be super helpful since money is such a necessity for travel..

'Kay thanks. Don't burn the house down while I'm gone.
I'm not even a couple of steps outside of town when a random guy walks up to me.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8056/pokemoncrystal349.png)
(http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/2723/pokemoncrystal350.png)
A resounding zero. I just got my Pokeballs so I haven't gotten the chance to catch any yet.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8521/pokemoncrystal351.png)
"catch POKEMON?"
[acid burst] off.

Then I punched him in the face and ran off. Seriously, he deserved it for that dumb remark.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/1778/pokemoncrystal356.png)
Oh hey, here's my first Pokemon to capture.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9271/pokemoncrystal357.png)
Whoo, that was easy! I didn't need that guy's advice after all.

This is the only name that makes sense.

Oh hey, I found a potion. This day can't get any better.
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8889/pokemoncrystal362.png)
It's some squirrel/raccoon hybrid. Huh, that's weird.
(http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/226/pokemoncrystal363.png)
I've got a real knack for this. I don't know why I didn't become a trainer sooner.

She'll come in handy if I'm ever on the run from the law, which I doubt will happen.
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/6825/pokemoncrystal367.png)
I remember seeing this building on my way to Cherrygrove. I wonder what's on the other side?
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/2021/pokemoncrystal369.png)
Oh hey, it's another route. It's blocked off for now, but there's some tall grass here.
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/4657/pokemoncrystal370.png)
Just like those Rattata that I saw battling earlier, except not owned by jerks that'll shoo you away for interrupting their "big battle"
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2232/pokemoncrystal371.png)
...No, I'm not bitter about that, or about being hit TWICE IN ONE DAY.

Hey, that's actually a pretty good looking bird.
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/6433/pokemoncrystal376.png)
Not only that, but its beak is SHARP. At least that's what I can tell from the wounds on BackBurner.

HOLY CRAP THE ROCK HAS A FACE!

Holy hell. The things that rock did to BackBurner... I don't think I'll be able to sleep for a few days.

Hopefully this name will serve as a warning to others.

Oh hey, another pretty good looking bird.
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/7299/pokemoncrystal391.png)
Not as good looking as Oxtongue, though.

Back on Route 30. This time, though, I'm on my way to Violet Town.
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/2950/pokemoncrystal396.png)
Oh Caterpie. You're such a nice disgusting bug.
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9287/pokemoncrystal397.png)
I'd better keep this away from Mom. She killed the last one that got into the house. I named it and everything.

Felix the Caterpie... I think I'm going to need a minute.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9841/pokemoncrystal401.png)
Oh hey, those guys that were battling before aren't blocking the road anymore. How conveinient.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2601/pokemoncrystal402.png)
"more Pokemon."
That's what you get for shooing me away earlier.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9981/pokemoncrystal404.png)
"let's battle!"
Hey, just because you lost doesn't mean I'm weak. Besides, I'm a girl. It'd be weird if I looked strong.
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/7660/pokemoncrystal406.png)
Well, I'm starting to see why you lost.
(http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/9864/pokemoncrystal407.png)
Case in point.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2666/pokemoncrystal408.png)
In retrospect I should have raised Oxtongue a little before forcing her into her first trainer battle. My mistake.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7925/pokemoncrystal409.png)
Mr. Tickles, however, hardly had to do anything. Ramming yourself headfirst into solid living rock isn't the smartest idea.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8139/pokemoncrystal410.png)
You might want to check on your Rattata. I think it was bleeding from its ears.
On that note I headed back to the Pokemon Center myself to heal Oxtongue.
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/551/pokemoncrystal422.png)
Yeah, that's right. I just beat your friend through his mental retardation!
(http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8266/pokemoncrystal423.png)
I question your logic good sir.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9168/pokemoncrystal424.png)
He has one more Pokemon than the other kid. Maybe that's the reason he won.
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5579/pokemoncrystal425.png)
...What.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/3405/pokemoncrystal426.png)
That other kid's Rattata was one level lower than Mr. Tickles, and even then I don't see it having much difficulty with a LEVEL 2 PIDGEY despite not having much defense compared to Mr. Tickles.
(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5176/pokemoncrystal427.png)
So his second Pokemon is a Rattata, but not just any Rattata, but a Rattata that's the same level as the other kid's Rattata...
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/4791/pokemoncrystal428.png)
It's my opinion that these two suck, and just felt the need to block the road earlier to compensate for that.

On the bright side, Mr. Tickles learned how to be more of a tank.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/996/pokemoncrystal431.png)
Shut the hell up, you battled with a retard.
Then I hit him over the head with Mr. Tickles and ran off... I feel slightly better now.

All the guy had was a couple of Caterpies. Moving on.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1469/pokemoncrystal446.png)
Whoo. This makes me feel better about that last disappointing battle. I noticed the cave near by and decided to go inside.
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7833/pokemoncrystal447.png)
HOLY [parasitic bomb] IT'S INFESTED WITH BATS!

Get it away!

I actually caught two Zubats: One named after a crappy author and the other named after the Dark Knight (Thanks to Taiyo)
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/186/pokemoncrystal491.png)
Oh Jesus, what is that?!
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/4808/pokemoncrystal492.png)
Whatever it is, it's going in the ball.

I would have named it Solid Snake, but this name made more sense.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1813/pokemoncrystal452.png)
I found a potion despite the cave being dark as hell! I'll return here once I can bring a flashlight or something.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5512/pokemoncrystal453.png)
"battle with you!"
All he has was a couple Caterpies and a Weedle. Not very exciting. Although he offered to give me berries. I like free stuff so we exchanged phone numbers.
(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4525/pokemoncrystal477.png)
There was a Pokeball inside the Pokeball... I'm very confused right now.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/676/pokemoncrystal478.png)
There will never be a tree in this region that hasn't been picked by me, Crystal the Berry Bandit!
The fat guy was asleep so I didn't bother him.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8933/pokemoncrystal486.png)
That's a giant ladybug.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6360/pokemoncrystal487.png)
Not much to say about this one. It kept humming to popular music I don't give a crap about.

I dunno, it seemed like the preppy type.
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/6834/pokemoncrystal497.png)
I missed the first screenshot, but now I have a walking bell plant in the ranks. Whoo.

(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4165/pokemoncrystal500.png)
Venus is the perfect name for a plant like this.
I decided to do some preemptive training for the Gym Battle since I don't want to lose my first time, and my Pokemon learned some new moves (Except for BackBurner) and becoming more awesome.
(http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2558/pokemoncrystal501.png)
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/391/pokemoncrystal507.png)
However, before Mr. Tickles learned how to throw rocks at things I ran into this little gal:
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8392/pokemoncrystal502.png)
Considering Oxtongue has soft fleshy parts and that needle on the top of its head would hurt on impact, I switched to Mr. Tickles.
(http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/3939/pokemoncrystal503.png)
Before I caught the Weedle it managed to poison Mr. Tickles. I guess it didn't matter that he's as hard as a rock.
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/2979/pokemoncrystal504.png)
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7524/pokemoncrystal505.png)
(http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/8043/pokemoncrystal506.png)
What? You can't tell me that Weedle doesn't look like a dart.
After raising my Pokemon to optimal awesome levels, I made a beeline for Violet City's Pokemon Center. After that, I headed to the gym.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/9928/pokemoncrystal508.png)
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6952/pokemoncrystal509.png)
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5438/pokemoncrystal510.png)
I'm glad this isn't a rock type gym. I think the only thing that could have handled it would have been Venus.
Anyways I'm just going to take a break here. Next time I'm going to tackle the gym and whatever that big tower over there is.

I really like your let's plays, they are really funny.
Using screenshots and not video is actualy something new for me and I really like it, makes more room for imagination XD
-
No Mareep? O:
I need to brush up on the Crystal PokeDex... ;_;
Though... I do believe that the trade for an Onix is still there?
-
You can trade for an Onix in Crystal? I never knew that. I just caught one in the cave right before the second gym.
-
I never played Crystal, so I'm not sure. XD
I thought it might be the same house in Violet City, where you trade a Bellsprout for it.
Then again, since you caught a wild one... Nevermind. XD
-
Why did you name one of the Zubats Meyer instead of Edward? Would it bring back painful memories/emotions or something? =P
Using screenshots and not video is actualy something new for me and I really like it, makes more room for imagination XD
Its not the first screenshot LP I read, but I really like it too, for some reason I prefer screenshots over video.
-
Why did you name one of the Zubats Meyer instead of Edward? Would it bring back painful memories/emotions or something? =P
I feel it encompasses everything that she's written, since I don't like her either as a person or an author. I also had the brilliant idea of making her my team's meat shield when I need to use a revive on a Pokemon. 'Tis only fair, after all.
<insert maniacal laughter here>
...Of course you guys won't see that until later, since I'm actually a couple of updates ahead of you.
-
Makes perfect sense. Oh, btw, did you know she has her own biography in comic book form narrated by Dracula? XD
-
That's part of the reason why I'm using her as the team's meat shield.
All I can tell you is I'm going to have more fun on Whitney than I should.
New Update coming soonish. All I have to do now is write up the actual update.
-
the very first "Let's Play" was a screenshot type.
there's a bit of debate over on SA over which one it was. >>
I'd recommend reading Princess Maker 2, both archived Dwarf Fortress LPs(boatmurdered, then Headshoots), Jerusalem's San Andreas, The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing, Leovinus' FF8, and Knights of the Old Republic 2. (http://www.letsplayarchive.com/)
Yeah, a screenshot Let's Play.
From what I've learned Pokemon isn't exactly the best game to LP in the video format. Plus this still let's me flex my writing muscle while playing video games. Two birds, one stone.
Besides, It's worked before. (http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Pokemon%20Crystal/)
RPG's in general shouldn't be video LP'd.
I'd say you should post this on SA instead, but there's the whole "Pokemon is off limits because RedChocobo is the only one capable of doing it right"
Zorak's a mod, so he can get away with it, and countblanc is from the early years of before they made a subforum for it.
-
Then there's the fact that joining SA costs money, which I don't plan on doing unless I want to post anything not Pokemon related.
And I've read most of those LPs already (the Princess Maker 2 LP is one of my favorites), although I will have to read the others I haven't yet.
Posted on: January 29, 2010, 09:04:53 PM
DOUBLE POST. But I post bearing an update!
So I'll be taking on Falkner and his birds as well as the monks of
Sprout Tower. Should be fun.
[spoiler=Birds fall and plants will burn. Note: Apparently BS spelled out as one word gets around the fourm's censor. Huh.]
So I enter the gym and see a guy with glasses. I decided to talk to him since he seemed lonely.

You better not be telling me things I already know, glasses man.

(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/441/pokemoncrystal517.png)
...I KNEW THAT ALREADY. I'm never talking to you again!
Then I just scoffed and walked off... What? You expected me to hit him or something? He's not worth the effort.
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5151/pokemoncrystal518.png)
"face FALKNER!"
Oh, I'm good enough alright. Here, I'll show you.
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/7913/pokemoncrystal520.png)
Abe is the owner of Kuntucky Fried Pidgey. Just don't tell Falkner that.
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/453/pokemoncrystal521.png)
Now I know what you're thinking: Why not use Mr. Tickles and his ability to throw rocks at things?
(http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/2289/pokemoncrystal522.png)
BackBurner is awesome, that's why.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2761/pokemoncrystal523.png)
It wouldn't be if you had more than one Pokemon.
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/34/pokemoncrystal524.png)
GUTS! Man, I loved that show.
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/5128/pokemoncrystal525.png)
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7986/pokemoncrystal526.png)
Then why aren't your Pokemon at higher levels?
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/6438/pokemoncrystal527.png)
Bring it, bird brain.
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/5975/pokemoncrystal528.png)
Rod works at Abe's KFP. Don't tell Falkner, though.
(http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/7389/pokemoncrystal529.png)
He had two Pidgies, one BackBurner took care of...
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/1839/pokemoncrystal533.png)
Mr. Tickles threw rocks at the other one. Mr. Tickles rocks.
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/1039/pokemoncrystal535.png)
Aaaaah! What was that bull [parasitic bomb]?!
Anyways, onto the big man himself.
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5660/pokemoncrystal536.png)
"leader!"

That's actually kind of cruel.
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/6926/pokemoncrystal541.png)
"POKEMON!"
I don't think it's an insult. Maybe people don't want their Pokemon to fly away so they can keep them as pets?
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4641/pokemoncrystal543.png)

Bring it bird boy!

I wonder what Pokemon he's going to have? Maybe a Fearow? A Dodrio?
An Aerodactyl!?

A Pidgey? LAME.

Oh it's just using Sand Attack... Wait a minute, that's not Sand Attack! That isn't Sand Attack at all!
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6452/pokemoncrystal548.png)
Crap!
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9696/pokemoncrystal549.png)
DOUBLE CRAP! Don't worry... Mr. Tickles can handle this.

Mr. Tickles shows it what we do to birds, though.

TM 31 contains Mud Slap. Whoo. Now let's go to the tall tower
thingy.

GOD DAMNIT ELM! I didn't say "Talk to the sucky professor on the phone"!

And then he hung up. YOU SUCK ELM.
(http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/6118/pokemoncrystal587.png)
You, I don't have a problem with. You give me things.

(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5530/pokemoncrystal590.png)
Eh, not as great as the other things you've given me so far, but I'll take it.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5883/pokemoncrystal591.png)
He explained to me that a Pokemon Egg won't hatch unless it's around other Pokemon, which makes sense. Also, I'm supposed to call Elm when it hatches. I probably won't, though.
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8147/pokemoncrystal600.png)
Oh, I taught Mud Slap to Mr. Tickles. It's awesome and scary at the same time.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/2022/pokemoncrystal601.png)
If I were an immature boy I would make a joke about this. But I'm not.
(http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/4181/pokemoncrystal602.png)
You mean I wasn't already?
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6393/pokemoncrystal603.png)
Huh, the inside is bigger than I thought it would be... Well, time to climb this tower!
Oh, the pillar in the middle moves because people are training upstairs. I don't know how that works either. And we'll get an HM if we reach the top. Whatever that is, it's free though so my interest is peaked.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8130/pokemoncrystal613.png)
"will stand strong."
Wait, does that mean you have some big Pokemon?
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7356/pokemoncrystal615.png)
Oh god, what does Nico have up his sleeve? Maybe it's some huge dinosaur Pokemon?
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7639/pokemoncrystal616.png)
Or a Bellsprout. LAME.
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/1925/pokemoncrystal617.png)
On the bright side BackBurner can now actually burn things.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5788/pokemoncrystal618.png)
OH MAN LOOK AT IT BURN! HAHA!
He had another Bellsprout that BackBurner burned.
(http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/426/pokemoncrystal624.png)
Oh hey, I don't have to say anything.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6578/pokemoncrystal625.png)
Yay! More free stuff (I probably won't be showing too many "Items found" screenshots anymore unless it's something interesting and awesome. They only mean more work for me.)

"honor all Pokemon."
Well, that's awfully nice of you guys.
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/3647/pokemoncrystal629.png)
HEY! That doesn't mean you have to fight me.
...And all he had were Bellsprout that BackBurner promptly burned.
I'm glad that BackBurner is living up to his name in more ways than one.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6100/pokemoncrystal634.png)
Which the monk thanked me for. I guess he didn't like Bellsprout.

...Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee...
(http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/8171/pokemoncrystal637.png)
Oh come on! It wasn't that bad.
Even more Bellsprout that got burned.
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8980/pokemoncrystal642.png)
You know, these guys are taking the fun out of insulting them.
(http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/9710/pokemoncrystal644.png)
He said something about wanting to use Pokemon to find peace or something like that. I wasn't paying attention.
All he had was a Bellsprout.
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5743/pokemoncrystal647.png)
Know what you need? MORE POWER!
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4787/pokemoncrystal648.png)
"black darkness."
I have a flashlight that does the exact same thing. It's not that impressive.
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5856/pokemoncrystal650.png)
Hey, me insulting you Elder doesn't give you the right to pick a fight with me!
...And another Bellsprout burnt to a toast. At least they're getting stronger.
(http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1259/pokemoncrystal652.png)
I was wondering why that annoying light was flashing in my eyes.

Lemme guess, Bellsprout, right?
(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9894/pokemoncrystal659.png)
I knew it. Just give me something new to burn/have its eyes pecked out/throw rocks at!
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5337/pokemoncrystal661.png)
Uh, okay. That's certainly new.
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/6723/pokemoncrystal662.png)
I guess the Hoothoot had poor eyesight since it identified Oxtongue on the first turn.

"weak Pokemon."

(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/6615/pokemoncrystal684.png)
Then for some reason he announced "Ahole used an ESCAPE ROPE!" and teleported away.
Wait, his name is actually Ahole?
...Pfft
After laughing for what seemed like an hour I finally had enough breath in my lungs to talk to the Elder.

Good to be here, old man.
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/2010/pokemoncrystal686.png)

Two of these, which Oxtongue pecked to submission.

And one of these which Mr. Tickles threw rocks at.

Maybe for you it was, but for me it was very boring!

Whoo! Now let's get the F out of dodge!

I found this rope thingy earlier, and [dark hold] used it to get out of here to I might as well use it.

Hey, what's going on?!

JANE! STOP THIS CRAZY THING!

Oh man this just keeps getting better and better. By the way you posted one of the images twice and I think you coded another wrong since it only has the link.

Flaming mohawks are indeed awesome my good sir.

Oh man this just keeps getting better and better. By the way you posted one of the images twice and I think you coded another wrong since it only has the link.
I fixed the linked image, but I don't see any images posted twice.
Unless you mean the pictures of Mr. Tickles using Rock Throw on those Pidgeys? Those are actually two images, it's just that Falkner and one of his lacky trainers both have Pidgeys at level 7.
-
The one that says that the badge enables a pokemon to use...
-
Aha. Found it. It just goes to show I need to proof read these things before I post 'em.
Oh, and the Togepi that hatches from the egg I got in this update is Female. So start coming up with possible nicknames for it.
-
Omlette, or Scrambled. Also if you find a Ditto name it Jelly or Pudding.
-
I'd prefer Bubblegum, I like that name for Ditto. As for Togepi...yeah, I like Omelette too, lets go with that.
-
What about Taffy?

Aha. Found it. It just goes to show I need to proof read these things before I post 'em.

Bitchface.generic goon suggestion, go~

Togepi?
Hmm... Yolks. XD
And yes for Jelly Ditto. XD
-
I have good news and bad news.
Good news is that I have everything but the actual update ready for the next update.
The bad news is that I can't write the next update because imageshack is pulling an [dark hold].
So while I try to force imageshack to work enough so I can write my update, there may not be an update to the LP for a while.
If that's the case then I'll update with the usual RPG Adventures.
-
*shakes fist at ImageShack*
Looks like a waiting game then...
-
Sorry about not updating for a couple of days. I was Tatsunoko vs Capcom-ing and dealing with Imageshack being a general prick.
But I'm WAY ahead on screenshots for updates, so feel free to speculate just what I caught.
[spoiler=Angry fishermen, and old rods await!]
(You'll notice that I missed some screenshots. Well, that's because I played very late in the night and was very tired. I'm sure you can figure out what I'm trying to say by now. Sorry about that, hopefully that won't happen again.)
Well, now that I'm not dizzy anymore, we can move on with our adventure...
(http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1331/pokemoncrystal713.png)
But first we make venus useless! Hooray!

(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4877/pokemoncrystal717.png)
And once again, random people challenge me because they can.
The guy had a Ratata which Oxtongue pecked to submission. And he also had...
(http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/8426/pokemoncrystal719.png)
AH! HE HAS A BAT! GET IT AWAY!
(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/4527/pokemoncrystal720.png)
You bet I am.
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7100/pokemoncrystal721.png)
Oh, she's on the phone. I probably shouldn't bother her.
(http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/5761/pokemoncrystal722.png)
What? I didn't say anything about battling you!
(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/300/pokemoncrystal723.png)
Sigh, here we go again.
(http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/9336/pokemoncrystal724.png)
Lemme guess, a Pidgey?
(http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/5792/pokemoncrystal725.png)
Well now... That's not a Pidgey.
Oxtongue pecked the Nidoran to submission. That made my day.
(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/1221/pokemoncrystal726.png)
Ack! Don't hit me! I've been hit enough already!
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/111/pokemoncrystal727.png)
(http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/7762/blankstare.png)

He's GOT to have a Ratata.
(http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/8482/pokemoncrystal729.png)
Huh. Guess it's like the last one, only male.
Well, Oxtongue learned how to peck things rapidly after beating this Pokemon. Yeah.
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1030/pokemoncrystal730.png)
Well that's neat. What'd you catch?
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7360/pokemoncrystal731.png)
I didn't mean battle me!
(http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4183/pokemoncrystal732.png)
Well to his credit that's kind of cool, I guess.
He had two of these little tadpoles. They almost KOed Oxtongue so they're tough little buggers.
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1112/pokemoncrystal735.png)
I'm sorry! Don't hit me!
(http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9539/pokemoncrystal736.png)
Oh god, what kind of horrible fish monsters does he have?
(http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/5579/pokemoncrystal737.png)
(http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/7762/blankstare.png)
He had FOUR of these. Only one of them knew how to tackle things. Yeah. I'm not putting you through that.
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5986/pokemoncrystal739.png)
Oh hey, it's Mom.

OH, useful for ME...Why didn't you say so?
(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/5315/pokemoncrystal744.png)
"Pokemon."
That's cool, I guess.
(http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/1851/pokemoncrystal746.png)
You know, you don't have to battle me.
(http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/6272/pokemoncrystal747.png)
It better not be another god damn Magikarp, for your sake.
(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/5097/pokemoncrystal748.png)
That's a pretty fishy.
The pretty fishy got pecked to death. Yeah, that's right. I'm not kidding around anymore.
(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/735/pokemoncrystal749.png)
"grass!"
(http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8262/pokemoncrystal751.png)
I don't want to know what he means by "it".
(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3963/pokemoncrystal752.png)
I really don't like the way he's holding that Pokeball.
(http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1354/pokemoncrystal753.png)
In retrospect it wasn't such a good idea to pit a solid living rock against a water type.
I forgot what I used to win, but I won. Whoo.
Then I ran into this guy:
(http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/6121/pokemoncrystal754.png)
(http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8227/pokemoncrystal755.png)
NO! I don't want something like that!
(http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3084/pokemoncrystal756.png)
Especially not for that outrageous price!
(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/4674/pokemoncrystal758.png)
Fine then!
There was a Pokemon Center near by, so I decided to stay there for the night. Inside I met this really nice fisherman.
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/310/pokemoncrystal759.png)
He didn't try to fight me or anything!
(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/4877/pokemoncrystal760.png)
"about you?"
I don't know. I don't think I'd want to randomly pick fights with people.
(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/5487/pokemoncrystal762.png)
I would make a joke at this, but I knew what he meant. Plus it's free. You know how much I like free stuff.
(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/189/pokemoncrystal763.png)

Let's see... I recall catching quite a bit with the Old Rod...

Why did you name the Magikarp SASUKE and the Poliwag Simon?
-
Poliwag's a TTGL tribute.
Magikarp... I blame Naruto talk in MSN. XD
-
Wooper = Derp
Funny you should mention that name in particular. One of the Pokemon I catch is named Derp, but it's not a Wooper.
I'll have to go back and catch those other Pokemon, though. I like some of the names.

Hehe, derp's universal I guess. XD

SO TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY. To celebrate, I'm giving you guys an update as a gift!
...Hey, wait a minute.
[spoiler=Through the Fire Breathers and the Caves, We'll Carry On.]
(The screenshots for this update were taken the same time as the last one, so I probably missed some screenshots due to being
tired. Again, I'm sorry.)
After a good night's sleep at the PokeCente I continue on with my journey!

(http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/9756/pokemoncrystal767.png)
I ran into this guy named Peter outside the cave. He wanted to battle me since I beat Falkner.
Unfortunatly I don't remember much about the battle. I think he only had a couple of Pidgey.
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/5754/pokemoncrystal771.png)
That's... An odd name for a cave.
(http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/9493/pokemoncrystal773.png)
(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/4843/pokemoncrystal774.png)
I expected people being here and randomly challenging me to battles. It seems to be my luck ever since I started being a trainer.
(http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/5237/pokemoncrystal775.png)
Woah, big fella.
(http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/1816/pokemoncrystal776.png)
Woah, big snake.
(http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/7873/pokemoncrystal777.png)
Good thing Mr. Tickles knows how to sling mud.
After the battle he said something but I wasn't really paying attention.
(http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8258/pokemoncrystal780.png)
You bet I am... Woah, Deja Vu.
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/9240/pokemoncrystal781.png)
"enough to battle."
I'll show you who is good enough to battle.
He just had three Geodudes that grew in level with each one. All of which Mr. Tickles took out.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/898/pokemoncrystal786.png)
Holy crap it's one of those big snakes!
(http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/2830/pokemoncrystal787.png)
Wait, why did I want to catch it?

(http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1216/pokemoncrystal789.png)
(http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3614/pokemoncrystal790.png)
It's a pretty name.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7291/pokemoncrystal792.png)
"my Pokemon."
(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/1922/pokemoncrystal794.png)
Well, you could always swap out your Pokemon.
(http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/7162/pokemoncrystal795.png)
Hey! Just because you're upset doesn't mean you can take it out on me!
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/3472/pokemoncrystal796.png)
Okay, just what the hell is that? Good thing Mr. Tickles threw rocks at it. It was creepy.
The worst part is the guy had TWO of them.
(http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/4505/pokemoncrystal799.png)
(http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/6011/pokemoncrystal800.png)
That sounds like it was in a song I heard...
(http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/4001/pokemoncrystal801.png)
Kinda? I just catch 'em as I see them.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4100/pokemoncrystal802.png)
I, uh, what?
(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/9855/pokemoncrystal803.png)
Hey, I thought I was your collecting rival!
(http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2852/pokemoncrystal804.png)
Wow, that Pokemon looks kind of dopey. But he resisted BackBurner's fire so it's probably pretty good.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9100/pokemoncrystal805.png)
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9674/pokemoncrystal806.png)
Well, that sounds like something only I can check up on.
(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5392/pokemoncrystal807.png)
He does have a point there.
(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4094/pokemoncrystal808.png)
"scary."
Yeah, that's kind of obvious dude.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4679/pokemoncrystal810.png)
HEY! What the hell? What is with people randomly challenging me to battles?!
(http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/6901/pokemoncrystal811.png)
At least the Pokemon he had was interesting.
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7961/pokemoncrystal812.png)
Then I ran into this little critter after the battle.
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8938/pokemoncrystal813.png)
It often curled up into a battle during the battle. And now it's in a ball. Heh, that's funny.
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/7803/pokemoncrystal814.png)
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/1387/pokemoncrystal815.png)

I know that she's not a Hedgehog, but the name fits in a scary way.
(http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/6301/pokemoncrystal817.png)
And we're out of the cave!
(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9724/pokemoncrystal818.png)
And more trees shall be stripped of their berries!
...Hey, shut up. It's my hobby.
(http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4333/pokemoncrystal819.png)
(http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/35/pokemoncrystal820.png)
So you're going to use that energy on something constructive instead of battling me?
(http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/3373/pokemoncrystal821.png)
OH SON OF A [sonic slicer]!
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/3961/pokemoncrystal822.png)
I know this isn't a good idea, but I'm pissed.

What the hell? It looks like a midget on steroids.

"standing guard."
(http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/7796/pokemoncrystal826.png)
Yeah, you are a good samaritan! Not like those guys that just RANDOMLY CHALLENGE ME TO BATTLES! I don't know what the R on your shirt stands for, but it must be something good.
After that I ran to the Pokemon center to stay there for the night. I guess I'll go to the gym Tomorrow.

Alrighty guys, I have some good news and some not so good news.
Good news is that I'll be posting something other than the LP for once!
The not so good news is that updates to the LP will be more scarce than now. Or any update in general for that matter. I start school tomorrow so I probably won't have a lot of time to be updating the Lp, which as it stands takes an hour to do not counting the time it takes to play the game itself. I'm ahead of the updates here by a lot for now at least so I may be able to update semi-regularly. But don't expect to see the LP too much.
I know I said I was doing this LP in preparation of HG/SS, but as it stands I doubt I'll finish before it comes out in the states. When that happens I'll still be continuing the LP even after that.
With that out of the way, here's something for you guys: a review.
Remind me never to write reviews while tired.
---
Bayonetta: Holy Christ.
Console: Xbox 360 (What I played)/PS3
Retail: $59.99 (US)
Bayonetta is an action game developed by Platinum Games, previously known as Clover Studio with the leader designer being the same game behind the Devil May Cry games. What is most notable about the game is the main character Bayonetta. Since the beginning Bayonetta has been shown to be a badass and sexy ass kicker. Does this game stand up to the hype that came with it? Well, I've combated the agents of God himself just so I can tell you guys my thoughts on this game.
Story:
To be fair story isn't the most important aspect of an action game. That being said Bayonetta's story is actually not half bad. A tad bit predictable at parts, but for the most part the story is told well enough that you don't even care; even if the exposition can feel a bit forced at times.
The game's plot has Bayonetta, who is a witch, working for the legions of hell killing off the agents of God; if she doesn't do this everyday she'll be dragged back to Hell. While she's in the world of the living she fights off angels of various sizes and shapes so that she can discover something about her hidden past. You see, Bayonetta was locked in a coffin at the bottom of a lake until 20 years before the game. No matter where Bayonetta goes there is always someone that knows more about her than she does. As the game progresses you'll learn a little more about her past as Bayonetta does. So as to not spoil anything I'll just say that Bayonetta's quest to discover her past leads to something BIG.
Some characters only make one or two appearances while others may stick around for large portions of the game since they're important to the plot. Then there's Rodin, who is the merchant character of the game. And Rodin is the most badass person I've seen in a game as of late.
Music and Graphics:
This is one of the best looking games I've ever played. The designs of the characters and enemies alike amaze me as they are introduced. The enemies, which are both God's minions and demons (I'm not sure how this works) look demonic while still maintaining the angelic features that angels are known for. The cutscenes are action packed and look very nice while at the same time doesn't fill you with thoughts of "I wish I could do that in the game!" very often.
When the game shifts from gameplay to cutscnes and vice versa there really isn't that big of a difference in graphical power, which is nice.
The music is catchy as hell, even though I couldn't really recall there being much difference in the tracks as the game went on. I particularly liked how the theme music was played in the beginning and during the final boss fight of the game.
The voice acting is spot on. Hell, there were times when the scenes looked like normal conversations and I forgot that a woman was sitting on her motor cycle that she rode on the wall.
Bayonetta is played as the strong, sexy female lead. The whole game seems to revolve around that. However, there are certain moments of the game where it seems to balance on the line between "sexy" and "a bit too much." I'm looking at you angel enemy whose name I can't remember due to it being spoilers. This is only a minor complaint and doesn't really subtract anything from your enjoyment of this game unless you're that kind of person who gets offended at everything.
Gameplay:
HOLY CRAP the game play is awesome. This game is what Devil May Cry 4 should have been. The combos are very easy to do, while the game itself still has enough challenge to not be "press Y button to win." There's a little slow down on the game play at times, but that's only because you're doing so much at once. While that can be a bad thing when there's only one or two enemies on the screen, but this only usually happen when there's six or seven enemies on screen at once or even a single ridiculously huge boss.
Each boss battle is entirely different from the last, so there's no risk of you thinking "hey, haven't I killed this boss before?" ...Except for the boss rush at the end of the game. Which I'll admit I didn't really see that coming.
As you progress through the game you can pick up weapons from some enemies to use as your own for a few hits OR you can find Golden LPs through the levels to give to Rodin, the merchant, so that newer permanent weapons could be added to your arsenal. That being said the combos for each weapon remains largely the same, so you don't have to re-learn how to fight when you switch to another weapon. There is also a leaderboard for the game so that you can show the world just how awesome you are at actions games... Or how much you suck at them as the case may be.
Re-playability seems to be part of the package with Bayonetta. In order to unlock all the Golden LPs you have to play through 100 total chapters. In the main game there's only 16 chapters (17 if you count the Prologue).
You can also unlock new costumes to put Bayonetta in OR if you're bored of looking at her ass (and why would you?) you can play as both fellow witch Jeanne and What-in-God's-Name-Is-That Little Jack. However, the extra characters are just Bayonetta with a new skin so nothing changes that much.
Then of course there's Route 666 and the Epilogue. Holy [parasitic bomb] that was awesome.
...That being said the gameplay can get repetitive at times.
Bottom line:
This game is worth buying, since you'll have to replay it a lot to unlock everything. Although I'd go with the 360 version since it's the one that works the way it's supposed to right out of the box. There are updates for the PS3 version, though.
-
I find that a pretty great review...
Makes me really wanna get Bayonetta even more now...

So yeah, I should probably update that LP, huh?

I would make some joke about what he said. Especially about the emphasis on the word "balls", but I'm still on shock that he knew my name before I even told him.
(http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3824/pokemoncrystal836.png)
Aw, that sucks.

That'll help since you randomly made the name drop.

An evil gang using Pokemon for their dirty work?! This shall not stand!
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/2288/pokemoncrystal841.png)
"three years ago."
Well maybe someone didn't like that and decided to bring the group back together to fuel his/her personal agenda?
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/527/pokemoncrystal843.png)
(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4144/pokemoncrystal844.png)
Huh, maybe those guys in black shirts are involved...Wait a minute. Their shirts had a red R on the front.
...My god, I'm dealing with retarded assholes.
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5629/pokemoncrystal845.png)
"lesson in pain!"
Yay, violence! I'll come with.
(http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/4488/pokemoncrystal847.png)
"way!"
And so it Crystal!
And then Kurt ran off.
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/6594/pokemoncrystal849.png)
Huh, that guy from before is gone. I wonder where he went?
(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/7631/pokemoncrystal850.png)
Oh crap, Kurt is down.
(http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/5086/pokemoncrystal851.png)
Hey Kurt! So, uh, are you okay?
(http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/8138/pokemoncrystal852.png)
"shouted at him."
I would too if some old guy came ran up and screamed at me.
(http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/6042/pokemoncrystal854.png)
"WELL."
Ow, that had to have hurt.
(http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/9702/pokemoncrystal856.png)
"so I can't move."
Yeah, just lie down there and I'll handle everything.
Kurt was still talking, but I didn't care what he said. I was pissed.
(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/1668/pokemoncrystal863.png)
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/4667/pokemoncrystal864.png)
Oh hey, it's the nice guy from before! Well, now that I know your true intention is to sell Slowpoke Tails you're the Evil-Nice Guy from before.
(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9743/pokemoncrystal865.png)
"down here."
Hah! You deserved that one!
(http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/2364/pokemoncrystal867.png)
"it out on you!"
BRING IT, [dark hold].
(http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1276/pokemoncrystal869.png)
I don't care what Pokemon you have, I'll still kick your ass.
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/5427/pokemoncrystal870.png)
At this point I was cackling loudly. The dumbass looked confused.
(http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/6953/pokemoncrystal871.png)
At which point I had BackBurner burn his Rattata to a crisp. Then I started cackling louder.
(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9997/pokemoncrystal872.png)
I switched out BackBurner in favor of Oxtongue, which pecked the second Rattata to submission.
I don't recall much after that since I blacked out. When I woke up there was a huge splatter of blood on the wall.
...Huh. I feel slightly calmer now.
(http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/8649/pokemoncrystal873.png)
Holy crap it's a Slowpoke! And it still has its tail!
(http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/5301/pokemoncrystal874.png)
Might as well keep it from Team Rocket.
(http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/1201/pokemoncrystal875.png)

(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/4631/pokemoncrystal877.png)
Derp.
I decided to train Derp up and trash Team Rocket with him as Poetic justice when I ran into this guy:
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8013/pokemoncrystal878.png)
Derp already started on him by using commands from the previous battle. He's so slow but gets the job done.
(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/8573/pokemoncrystal879.png)
I threw my Pokeball at the snake before Derp tackled it again. Once again, Derp is SLOW.
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/4948/pokemoncrystal880.png)
(http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/8051/pokemoncrystal881.png)
(http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6179/pokemoncrystal882.png)
...Okay, that's not what I named him.
(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/1007/pokemoncrystal883.png)
Excellent.
With Derp trained to optimum Awesome levels (and preemptively giving it commands for battle) I stormed the Well once again and shouted "STOP TAKING TAILS, ASSHOLES!"
(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/1899/pokemoncrystal884.png)
That's what I said.
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/5258/pokemoncrystal885.png)
Well maybe I will!
(http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7405/pokemoncrystal886.png)
For all I say about these guys the girls of this team have some REALLY NICE outfits.
...Maybe I can see into getting something like that.
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/5346/pokemoncrystal887.png)
(http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/8021/pokemoncrystal888.png)
I didn't really have to do anything for this fight. Derp just did everything on his own. It makes for some kickass mind games, though. She was talking gibberish by the time the battle was over.
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6783/pokemoncrystal889.png)
Did you see what I did to the girl that just asked me that? Don't make me break your thinking muscle.
(http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3287/pokemoncrystal890.png)
"would be ruined!"
You obviously didn't have much of a rep if someone from my generation haven't heard of you.
...And he didn't fail to disappoint. I don't even remember much of the battle to be honest.
(http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5746/pokemoncrystal893.png)
And yet it has that same Dopey look on its face. I doubt it will notice the missing tail until it grows back.
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/1859/pokemoncrystal894.png)
Sure, why not?
(http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/1303/pokemoncrystal896.png)
(http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/7255/pokemoncrystal897.png)
(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/6119/pokemoncrystal898.png)
This Slowpoke must belong to that little girl that lives with Kurt.
...Time to kick some serious ass.
(http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7503/pokemoncrystal899.png)
To kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of gum.
(http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/8828/pokemoncrystal900.png)
"expect any mercy!"
I don't expect any, nor will I give any.
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/9320/pokemoncrystal902.png)
Huh, he only has one Pokemon. It's probably something good for once.
(http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/741/pokemoncrystal903.png)
That's different... And I gave Derp a break since his health was getting low. That and I forgot to give him commands before the fight.
(http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/7082/pokemoncrystal904.png)
(Thank GOD that this isn't Gen 3. Otherwise Mud Slap wouldn't work.)
(http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/5664/pokemoncrystal907.png)
The ability to create mini-earthquakes? Oh hell yes.
(http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/3100/pokemoncrystal908.png)
"three years ago."
(http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/8328/pokemoncrystal910.png)
"underground."
That better not be a pun or I will beat you over the head with Mr. Tickles until your brain pops out of your ears.
(http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/6161/pokemoncrystal912.png)
"stir up trouble!"
Everytime you guys start something I'll end it. Painfully.
And then Team Rocket vanished.
(http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/9703/pokemoncrystal914.png)
(http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/7173/pokemoncrystal915.png)
I would feel a lot better if they all left in body bags.
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8486/pokemoncrystal916.png)
"of here"
By the way, I'm glad to see your back is better. Let's go.
(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9254/pokemoncrystal918.png)
Why are you saying hi? We walked back together to your house from the Well, remember?
(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9748/pokemoncrystal919.png)
"hero at the WELL."
Ah, shucks. I didn't do all the work. My Pokemon beat things within an inch of their lives.
(http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/4467/pokemoncrystal921.png)
...Wait. How did you see anything when you were on your back the whole time?
(http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/6918/pokemoncrystal922.png)
"a trainer like you."
Thankfully, this service is free of charge. Yay free stuff!
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/6279/pokemoncrystal925.png)
Then he gave me this. It makes it easier to catch Water Pokemon.
(http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8994/pokemoncrystal926.png)
What's going on?
(http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/4817/pokemoncrystal927.png)
The egg is hatching!
(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/8314/pokemoncrystal928.png)
The egg hatched into another egg? That's confusing.
Now what to name it...
(http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/3368/pokemoncrystal930.png)
It's short for [sonic slicer] Omelet.
...I don't know why I added an extra "t" to the name. Anyways, time to stuff this sucker in the box and never look at it again. Hell, I won't even look it up on the Pokedex.
I'll head for the gym tomorrow. I need a shower.

You mean the spoiler tags? I only do that so you guys don't get a flood of images for each update and spare the 56K users some grief.

No not the spoiler tag the scroll bar in the spoiler tag in this particular one. Compare it with your other spoiler tags and you'll see what I mean.

That might be just you, then. This update looks like the other ones to me.
It might be easier if you take a screencap so I can actually see what you mean.

The only problem is I don't really know how to take one.

Alrighty, time for another update to the LP.

With Team Rocket out of the way I can FINALLY go to the gym. The glasses guy was there again but this time I ignored him. He'd probably say something obvious again... Oh hey, There are two little girls.

GIMMIE GIMMIE! ...But you still suck dude.

Aaaand another shiny thingy that shows how awesome I am at enslaving animals. Whoo.
He talks about how the Hive Badge will let me control Pokemon up to level 30 and how they'll be able to use Cut out side of battle. That's useful I guess. I also got this:

TM 49 contains Fury Cutter!

Ahole is back, and Crystal isn't happy about that...
Cheer up, emo kid! You can use Cut outside of battle!

Oh man this got me badly. *giggles*
Yeah, that was my favourite part

The irony is that it's too true. XD
-
I know, the truth is funny
-
Well the good news is that there are no bugs on this edition of this playthrough, and I love how you made fun of the bug pokemon. XD
I also have an idea of what you should name the Red Gyarados. I think you should name it Red Bull because for some strange reason when I was playing Crystal for the first time every single time they mention Lake Rage or the Rage Candy bar I think of Red Bull, which is weird since I've never had it before...heck I've never drunken an energy drink before either. I think it was because back then a common comercial I saw was for Red Bull.
-
That was funny as usual, Tea.
-
JOSHing around... Brilliant Tea. XD
And Derp can spit water now... AWESOME 8D
-
JOSHing around... Brilliant Tea. XD
FINALLY, someone noticed that.
Well the good news is that there are no bugs on this edition of this playthrough,
What are you talking about no bugs? There were certainly bugs in this update. Oxtongue even ate most of them.
...Oh wait, you mean the technical error type of bugs. NEVER MIND THEN.

Lol puns. 8D

Something I did for the school paper. Except it's not formatted for a journalism class.
---
Visceral Games and EA brings us the hack and slash based on a literature classic Dante’s Inferno. I journeyed to Hell to see if this was worth the sixty dollar price tag or not.
The game is very true to the original epic with its imagery and musical score. The scenery is Hellish and the game often has you use walls made of the damned as your footholds, all the while you hear their moans of anguish as they’re tortured for eternity. The characters converse with one another naturally and none of the in game dialogue sounds forced.
And that’s where my praise for this game ends.
In the original epic Dante descends into Hell along with the company of fellow poets of the time such as Virgil and Shakespeare. In the game the poet’s party is cut down to just Dante and Virgil. It should also be noted that Dante is no longer a poet but a soldier of the crusades.
During the job change Dante seems to have lost everything that made him likable which makes it difficult to pity him. For some reason he sews on a red cross to his chest as a sort of penance. At least I think that’s why he did it. It’s never explained any further than that.
Beatrice, whom in the game is Dante’s wife, plays little more than the damsel in distress that the hero chases after through a literal Hell to save her. Except at first she rightly reacts to him coldly as he betrayed her trust and instead couples up with the devil the first leg of the game.
Speaking of the Devil, Lucifer has got to be one of the best villains I’ve ever seen in a video game. He doesn’t even have to do anything; he just speaks and it drives Dante crazy.
For the game play itself it’s a pretty standard hack and slash: mash a few buttons in varying combinations until everything but you is dead. Although that can be difficult at times since enemies have far too much health and have way too many ways to stay invulnerable to your attacks.
Dante gets two weapons in this game. Death’s scythe, which isn’t as cool as it sounds, and Beatrice’s Cross which is a holy projectile weapon. You’ll be using the cross more often since it’s free to use and 95% of the enemies in the game are melee based.
There are two upgrade systems that make up the karma system: one for being good and the other for being evil. You gain experience by either finishing off your opponent in an exceptionally violent way or finishing off your opponent in an exceptionally violent way, but you’re praising God while you do it.
Each side unlocks new combos and increases your health and magic bars. You either learn new spells as the game progresses or you buy them in the karma level up system. There’s no real impact to the story for which side of the karmic coin you pick
The combat is fluid enough. Combos are easy to pull off, making the game much more bearable.
Everything outside of battle can be a chore. In every section of the game there is always something that can kill you instantly. Whether that obstacle is a bottom less pit (this is the one that happens most often), burning oil, lava, or fire despite you only taking slight damage from it a section before. Jumping to avoid these insta-kill obstacles can sometimes have to be so precise that you may barely miss. The camera doesn’t help matters since it’s always stuck either on Dante or something in the scenery instead of Dante. It’s more often the latter.
While the visuals are hellish, I could have gone the rest of my life happy without seeing the Lust section of the game. And this is in the beginning of the game.
The Lust section and insta-kills aside, Dante’s Inferno starts off as an alright game. Then halfway through you can tell that the developers just stopped putting effort into the game.
I almost stopped playing the game after Fraud, which made you go through ten challenges that would have been better left as a side mission or its own section of the game, not part of the main story.
The boss battles in this game are a joke and far too simplistic, even for something in the hack and slash genre. Some of the minor boss battles will repeat through several points in the game which always leads to the same end; and these boss battles can only end through quick time events.
The game doesn’t even try to change up which button you need to push for these quick time events to succeed. So long as you’ve done it once you can do it again. Even the final battle with Lucifer was boring, and I liked Lucifer as a villain!
Bottom line: Dante’s Inferno isn’t worth the $60. It’s a pretty game, but the game play just drags it down to Hell; and not in the way it’s supposed to. If you want a good hack and slash that’s based on mythology you’re probably better off picking up God of War III.

WELL. It's been a while since I updated the LP. I think I should do that.
Sorry for the delay, but Yakuza 3 Pokemon Soul Silver I'M LAZY school has been annoying.
ANYWAYS. Here's an update.
[spoiler=Assholes and Birds, oh my!]
(http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/6894/pokemoncrystal992.png)
I was just about to leave town, but then I saw someone in the distance.
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8830/pokemoncrystal993.png)
Oh god, it's him. O^O
(http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/5449/pokemoncrystal994.png)
I'll tell you anything! Just don't hit me! ;^;
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/1105/pokemoncrystal995.png)
"returned?"
Yeah, I beat their asses.
(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/5100/pokemoncrystal997.png)
"lying."
Funny how a thief and an [dark hold] is scolding me on lying. Even though I'm not.
(http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/7599/pokemoncrystal999.png)
"good you are."
BRING IT PUNK!
(http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/1986/pokemoncrystal1001.png)
Looks like he's caught some Pokemon since last time. Still won't be enough, though.
(http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/4314/pokemoncrystal1002.png)
He caught a...Ball of gas? Did he just fart into the PokeBall or something?

Holy crap! The Fart Monster just put Oxtongue to sleep by looking at it!

And now it's being spiteful! (I'm too lazy to post the screenshots, but Spite reduces the PP of the last used move by a random amount. In this case Peck was reduced by 3.)
Eventually Oxtongue woke up and pecked the gas ball to submission... I'm not sure how that works but it was funny to watch.

Headbutting trees and getting the F out of Ilex Forest

Farfetch'd situation indeed. XD
And lol at Ahole farting into a PokeBall to get a Gastly.
That was priceless. XD

Heeeeey. It's been a while since I posted anything.
Well, I don't have an update for the LP yet, but I do have something else. I have this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjYZ_0NZ5OA). It's just a test. I'll be posting a series of these and seeing if I can get some feedback on how to do things better. So anything would be appreciated.
I'll probably update the LP once I get some sleep. It's late where I am.
-
Looks nice.
-
Well, I say your test is a success.
Looks just fine.
-
Yeah, sorry for not updating ANYTHING, but school is being annoying.
So to make up for it here's a rant on Avatar. I wrote this after having to spend three hours watching it.
---
Avatar is, for lack of a better term, a golden term.
Sure, it's a very pretty movie. Everything else is very bland and terrible.
The plot is essentially Space Pocahontas with Alien Smurf Kitties and a terrible message. That message being "Mankind is evil. Nature is just." As I watched the movie I couldn't help but feel that I was being drowned in a pool as I was being told to fear the BIG BAD MILITARY and the BIG BAD CORPORATIONS.
The acting is sub-par. And I could swear that the actor who played Jake Sully keeps gaining and losing an accent throughout the movie. It drove me insane.
Hardly anything is explained to you. I know you're supposed to suspend your disbelief and believe that we're seeing an alien planet. At the same time hardly anything is explained. Like how and why the plants are glowing like you're in a rave.
One thing is made clear in the beginning of the movie: Humans can't breathe the air on Pandora. They get knocked unconscious within 20 seconds and die within 4. HOWEVER, there are plenty of scenes in the movie with a character not only still conscious without an oxygen mask after 20 seconds, he's actually grunting or otherwise moving a good deal.
In the begining of the movie there is a moral dilemma that Jake Sully has to face: Do I help the human race destroy the natives here or do I help the Na'vi?
There is a scene in particular when the humans on Pandora go from "We want to negotiate with the natives, but we'll use force if we need to since they haven't exactly been nice to us" to "KILL ALL THOSE BLUE BASTARDS!" After that anything that could have made Avatar into a great movie went out the window.
There are times where the natives are shooting at the human air ships with arrows and without cause a scratch on the windows, then in another scene they shoot the same arrows and shatter the same windows that the humans were using before and kills the pilot... Wait, what?
Then there's the fact that they're calling the mineral that the humans want Unobtanium... Yeah, that's uninspired.
Why this movie is rated so highly is beyond me. It had the makings of a great movie, only to fall flat on its face and STILL manage to be sucessful. I dare say that Avatar is the Twilight of 3-D movies.
-
Well, that's a very descriptive review. Here's my synopsis of your synopsis: AVATAR IS [parasitic bomb].
There, simplified! ^_^
-
Yeah, but if I had just posted that you guys would be mad at me for not posting anything after apologizing after not posting anything.
I could have gone on, but I'm tired and didn't feel like it... In fact, why the hell am I still up?
-
BECAUSE I HAVE AWAKENED THEE! AHAHAHAHAHA
Also, you already said that in the Movies topic... hehe ^_^
-
Dude I hate the movie just as much as you do for pretty much the same reasons. Plus I think that movies like that shouldn't be in 3-D.
-
I think this whole 3-D movie thing is just plain dumb, personally.

Me too dude, me too.

I never actually planned on watching it...

Nor did I...

Holy crap it's been a while since I posted in here. I blame school.
To revive the thread with some content here's my thoughts on E3. An update to the LP should come soonish. Hopefully tomorrow if things go well.
---
The big three have given their piece on how they're the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to gaming. So how do they stack up? Well, that depends on who you're talking about...
Microsoft: 95% of this conference was about the Kinect (The new name of Project Natal) and the games that could be played on the system. Which according to the press conference is just party games and for the most part. Kinect will be launching with 15 games. One of which is called Kinect Sports... Microsoft, we need to have a talk. If you're going to be copying your competitors at least don't name one of your games EXACTLY like your competitor's game. Even the logo is the same!
Then there's also Kinectimals, a game in that's like Nintendo dogs but with exotic animals instead. Its showing has essentially become a meme on the internet now.
There were three non-Kinect games shown in the beginning of the conference, with Halo: Reach surprising me at how good it looked, largely the conference was boring. I really didn't expect anyone else to do worse than this.
While the price hasn't officially been announced by Microsoft many retailers are already pricing Kinect at $150. While steep, that still isn't as much as the Move is.
Nintendo: Holy crap did Nintendo surprise me. Not only did Nintendo stop bragging about how many Wiis that they've sold, they also showed some GAMES for the console. And not just another Mario sports game and Just Dance 2 but games like Legends of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii and Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS.
Oh, here's the best part: The 3DS is a brand new console. And from the sounds of things it's AMAZING. While I haven't seen the 3D effect for myself, everywhere I've read about how amazing the 3D effect is. What's more amazing is the line up of games for the system. This includes Mario Kart, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and SUPER STREET FIGHTER 4.
While Nintendo played to the nostalgia factor in this conference, it was still an amazing press conference. This more than makes up for the last couple E3s. Oh right, I forgot the best news of all: There was no Cammy at all during the conference. So we were spared from hearing about how she sprained her wrist or he lame friends.
Sony: My god, this was worse than Microsoft's conference somehow. There were some games, sure, but the entire conference was mostly montages and adverts. A new ad campaign for the PSP was launched via an obnoxious kid by the name of Marcus. Kevin Butler gave an epic speech about gaming, however the epicness went away when the price of the Move controller was announced: $49.99 for the Move and $29.99 for the Navigational add-on. There's a bundle which features the PSEye, the Move controller, and a Wii sports knock off for $99.99... But you still have to buy the Navigational add-on. Sony seems to be fighting with Microsoft to see who the worst in show is..
I actually did some number crunching, and it's actually cheaper to buy a Wiimote, a Nunchuck, and Red Steel 2 with WiimotionPlus than to buy the Move Bundle and the Navigational Controller. It's a $10 difference, but it's still cheaper and more rewarding.
So there you have it. The big three's press conferences summarized for your reading pleasure. In a surprising turn of events Nintendo wiped the floor with Microsoft and Sony this year. The last thing I'll say is this: I'll be buying a 3DS day one because of this conference.
-
I blame Reggie.
Nice write-up. Good points there, too. ^_^
-
Didn't watch Sony's, but seeing what you wrote, thank god I didn't? XD
Though Microsoft's and Nintendo's are pretty spot-on. :3
-
SUPER STREET FIGHTER 4.
That thing better have online play unlike 100% of the PSP fighting games, and like a good number of DS ones (but at least there are some that do have it). Seriously, what's the point of not having an online mode? -___-
Also, I don't know if Sony's conference was really worse than MS's (because I didn't watch that one =P), but from what I've heard it's more like MS's one was bad in a hilarious way (oh boy, the Cirque du Soleil presentation XD), and Sony's was bad in a boring way.
Anyways, you MUST write about the other conferences too, at least Konami's since that one was...well...just watch it if you haven't.
-
but from what I've heard it's more like MS's one was bad in a hilarious way (oh boy, the Cirque du Soleil presentation XD),
But it was all about this! 8D
