That was the 90s-est thing I've seen... since the 90s. You expect the goddamn Spice Girls to sing the theme for it.

I think that's the point.

 

[CandiCame]

I think that's the point.

Yeah, but it isolated younger gamers, and it doesn't have to. Let's take Sonic, for example. The last Sonic game I played on a console (rather than a handheld) was Sonic Adventure 2 for Gamecube (unless you count Shadow's solo game). Sonic is the most motherfucking 90sest creature to ever live. Ever. Much more 90s than Duke. But his games, while cheezy, don't isolate younger gamers. A kid can still play Sonic in between boughts of Minecraft and COD: Ghosts. They can't play Duke like that.

Yes but duke was meant for gamers who've been around as long as me and sean. I remember duke when he was a pixilated side scroller. Back in the commander keen days. (Kudos if you know commander keen and his liniage)

I mean the opening of the game was duke playing duke while getting head. Not exactly a kids game. Its like playing serious sam. Mindless violance

I was literally going to ask how that made it not a kids game and then I remembered sex is bad for children somehow.

Totally ready for this baby.
Not gonna fuck up this parenting thing at all.

But violence isn't bad for them, right? Like they can't see a couple having sex, but they can be rewarded for headshots. I've got to get this strait before I scar the kid.

Weird culture isnt it? I'd rather have my kid(if I had one) seeing tits and shit then gore and extreme violance. That being said my 4 year old nephew saw brave and wants a bow so his mom gave me permission to buy him a real one so...

Also when did pokemon gyms become hard? It tool me 4 tries to beat the second gym in black. Stupid takedown.

 

[Sean Renaud]

The gyms in Pokemon have always been hard if you play like Candi instead of like me. My starter is usually so absurdly leveled by the third or fourth gym that he doesn't give a shit about weaknesses and just stomps shit (on the flip side the other pokemon I have exist only so I have time to revive him, potion him and throw him back into the grinder. If not being off type is a killer. My first time through Red it took me forever to beat Misty because Charizard and Geodude (my two mains) were both weak to water and ratata and pidgey just didn't have enough oomph. Eventually I captured a fuck ton of bellsprouts.

Gaming companies love that though. I knew of the tomb raider reboot a year in advance. Last of us as well. Both were amazing.

On the other hand Ill read about them in game informer and a month later forget. Then I see the cut out for em at game stop and go oh ya...

One year is okay, you announce at E3 before you launch that's more or less common sense.

Yeah, what happened with that, tho? We got the TR reboot, it was epic, and then... nothing.

BTW, I thought that we had collectively decided as a subculture to let DUke bow out gracefully. Let's stop bringing up 4ever.

Tomb Raider's reboot is only a year old or so the next one should be announced at E3. . .next year.

My main was level 20. Couldnt go higher because it wouldnt obey. Caught a throuh and got it to 17. Fucked that leader up

 

[Sean Renaud]

That rule only applies to pokemon you've traded for. Pokemon you captured yourself will always respect you, at least in most games they will. You might be playin an exception to the rule.

I have no idea what leader that was but there is no substitute for having the right pokemon for the job and no way around having the wrong one. Charmander in a water Gym takes double damage and deals half, Bellsprout in the same gym flips that shit. When in doubt go find something that can handle your current problem.

You're right. Either way takedown was a bitch. Fighting pokemon barely felt it though

 

[CandiCame]

What you need to do is get somebody who can fly, and just fly over it. They go to hit you but your ass is already in the air. And I think flying does double damage against fighting.

Also, Sean is right, when you try to pump up your entire team instead of just your steroid enhanced starter the gyms are harder because you have to use actual strategy.

Also, is that true about the pokemon that you catch (as opposed to get through a trade) always obeying you? Because I've always been too scared to chance it. I'm very literal minded and the last thing I need is a pissed off Charizard who doesn't give a shit about me. At least Ash's was just a lazy fat ass (too fat to fly, which was admittedly pretty funny) and not an angry bitch who would set a trainer on fire.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Wow that was a catty way of putting it. Did you forget to smoke, forget to draw my luchadore or both?

And yes flying is double effective vs fighting but since he mentioned a fighting time that means he must be in a rock, ice or steel gym if I remember properly, those guys get wrecked by fighters and if I remember right that gym is near like an industrial park that's over run with fighters.

I think that you're only now realizing that sober Candi is a bitch. But I did kinda smoke myself sick last time... which I didn't know was a thing, but apparently is. Also, I mentioned the idea of the 50s dad pipe to the gf and she says I should do that, outside, when the kid is born if I'm going to smoke. So guess who's getting a 50s dad pipe. I'm going to wave it about and impart life lessons.

But Pokemon really do have steroids. The "carbs" and... I forget what the others are, but you totally can pump them up. I always use those rather than stupid shit like "X attack" that only lasts for one battle.

It was ground based gym. I seem to remember an m
Npc telling me I needed a fighter.

I got a few pipes. Go meercham! They change color and shit. Though you are in Kentucky so a corn cob might be a requirement. Also get a nimrod if you can find one

 

[Sean Renaud]

Yes, Pokemon have steroids, Carbs, Iron, protien, Calicium and HP up (I guess they ran out of names?) And those are important to proper pokegrowth, unless you really want to EV train which is a bitch and three quarters until the newest game where it's actually kinda fun. Good on em for listening to my repeated bitching.

Yeah once you mentioned not smoking and it lined up with you growing claws it was obvious. I'd care less if I got what I wanted but I've seen no new sprite work in weeks. I keep forgetting why I didn't approve of spines when I took over Hell last time. Minions with Spines don't just say no to my enemies they say no to ME and that's. . .really not worth the trade off. Specially since all us Evil Overlords have defacto do not fuck with agreements.

I keep meaning to do that AND an assload of other art and then kinda not. I want to create. I want a week with like 3oz of weed, a computer, canvas and paint, and a sketch pad and pencils and microns. Goddamn I miss college.

I actually have to work at work, the gf is pissed off all the time with her mood swings and heat flashes and inability to eat without throwing up. I fucking hate adulthood. I kinda wanna check out. I'm just not sure how to do that and not get in trouble for it.

Also I hate level grinding in any game that requires it. I should be strong enough to defeat an enemy because of the enemies I met along the way.

Wait, but are they like glass pipes that change color or old man pipes? Because I want an old man pipe. Corn cob would defeat the point, because I want to look classy and nothing screams redneck like a goddamn corncob pipe. A corncob pipe says, "I'm either going to hide your body in the back of my pick-up or melt in the sunlight."

Old man pipe. Its kind of like a clay outta turkey. They are white when new but absorb the tobacco juices and shit like a filter so they turn to like a golden brown. You can get em used for around 30 or so if you look in antique shops or ebay. Run a pipe cleaner soaked in vodka or shine through the stem and clean the stem itsself with the vodka and you're good to go. If the cake is thick on the inside you might need to sand it down a bit.

Oh then you need to buy a pipe tool and pipe lighter. You can accessorize and shit

 

[Sean Renaud]

I can live with a Liger Luchador. If you think you can draw something that awesome. I figured we'd start off a little slower than that but if you're feeling up to the challenge. . .

As for how you should smoke it should be wood and it should look like something from an eighteenth century painting.

I hate grinding too, my strategiless Pokemon plan tends to minimize grinding, unless you picked the wrong type out the gate, like in Red it was literally Easy, Medium, Hard because Charizard is weak to the first two gyms, Squirtle is strong to gym 1 and neutral to gym 2, and Bulbasaur is strong to Gym 1 and 2. After that they don't tend to be quite that cut and dry as that but most game still have a best and worst choice.

Now that I finished Metroid Other M and I can finish apologizing on behalf my gender, then remembering I'm gonna do ten things worse before the sun comes up again I can start back on Dante's Inferno. Satan acts like I haven't beaten his ass before, never with a Scythe but I beat him on the regular. Punk as bitch acting like stealing my girlfriend is a wise career move.

I booted up my copy of red and I think my end game log was like 30 caught pokemon

I'm a- /was/ a stoner; I have all the accessories and a sweet ass pipe that has Yoshi carved into it. But I will definitely look into that because that sounds badass.

I just think I'm going to switch to that and cigars rather than quitting. Because I will smoke less. The cigars made me totally sick, I didn't know I could smoke myself sick, but I totally puked while walking the dog. Man, I have licked lsd off a party bathroom before; I thought I was hardcore. I'm super embarrassed that I was defeated by a cigar.

I don't even give a shit, I have an irrational love for my Charmander. That bitch is on Pearl because I traded him from motherfucking blue. Like it's completely irrational. I act like he's a real pet or someshit. I knew he was a boy too, even before he had a gender.

It's unhealthy.

What the fuck "don't inhale"? I'm not here to fuck around, I'm here to smoke. What the hell's the point if I don't get my lungs filled with nicotine?

Edit: Aaaw... the link leads to nothing.

I thought that cigars were just like... the blunts of tobacco.

Auction musta ended. 3 pipes for 10 bucks. Cigars and pipes are like hookah. Its a taste thing. Pipes you could inhale though I guess.

I thought that cigars were just like... the blunts of tobacco.

They are and one cigar is like 3 packs. The nicotine is so high it absorbs through your mouth. A rocky patel edge gave me the whirlies one time and that was after about a half hour of smoking the thing
