On topic with the ... um ... pictures, I was just going over some of my favorite Somethingawful.com Photoshop Phriday entries, and I came across the always wonderful Faces Of Anime thread. Some Photoshop Phriday exhibits are funny, but some are just ... interesting and creative. This one easily falls under that category. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (Quite possibly the best of them. 😛 ), 7; The scariest.
So...
You can look at these last few on your own.

And to finish it off:
Voila.
Since we're doing animated images now...
Oh GOD that's terrible. *clears throat* Anyway...
So we had CPR for emt's last night. Bag mask on adults/infants. AED's and some stories about burn marks. The CPR stuff you can learn as a civilian but with some different equipment.
I missed my exam but one FLIPPIN QUESTION! I was so pissed that I didn't go with my gut instinct. I took it again tonight after lab and got 100/100, a perfect score.
We started to learn intubation and wow....it's gonna be a fun quarter learning how to open airways and shove a tube down a patients throat.
Sounds... interesting.
hahaha...Got back from an all night gaming party at my school
I entered the MArio kart: Double Dash tournament, and the Melee tournament.
Double dash: one critical mis-jump in bowser's castle cost me the forst round. 😞
Melee: First match, came out on top (barely). Second match, got beat by the guy who ended up winning the tournament (Defeating the 3 time champion [Peach user] with the Ice-climbers.). :P the dude double KO'd me and the other remaining guy.
Aside from that I did Random DS games, more melee, Snowboard kids 2, and got 2 hours of sleep (on a very uncomfortable bench). And we watched two episodes of the Mario bros super show at 6 in the morning, when everyone was almost brain dead. :P It's surprisingly hilarious when you cannot think clearly.
Also...I now totally loathe the "eliteist" Melee players. IE, the ones who think that No-item-final-destination-four-stock is the ONLY right way to play. This guy was loudly denouncing the tournament as total garbage just because we used random stages instead of final destination. He also made himself sound really stupid when I defended Item use (It IS in th egame for a reason!). :P Then Karma owned him by selecting the Ice climber's stage for his round. He got owned.
Now, I needs my sleep.

Sounds a lot like the guy who introduced me to pro smash. He was also a huge tool, and although he was aware of the fact that the smash world is bigger than your livingroom, he learned wavedashing and pretty much thought he was the shit. We proved him wrong.

I understand tournament rules to an extent - they're good for a tournament. They're in place for a reason - because there are exploits. When it's serious, you want to avoid it as simply as possible. Stage banning and item banning is the best way to make sure you are actually measuring a players skill - and no, you can't remove all randomness from the game, so it's never fullproof.
But I always play with items, and virtually all the stages. I keep items on "very low" but I love having them none-the-less. It spices up the game a lot. Tournaments avoid exploiting because it can make a lot of people angry, and lose money.
If your friends are exploiting the game, you can make them go home, or stop playing. No harm done.
True Smash pros should be able to utilize all items effectively.

Lemme guess, it was that little cut in the wall right in front of the Bowser head that shoots the fireballs?
You can't argue that an item can completely turn an otherwise won round. I could be losing by two, and an effectively used item could tie the stock out, and I could come on back and win. That should happen purely by how I play, rather than by the hand of an item. That's why they're not used in tourneys. Because it would piss too many people off. Yes, item catching/shielding/reflecting is a great skill, but it still has a good ammount of use in tourneys anyhow. A few characters pull their own throwables.
Either way, I'm sure if you saw the rule in a practical example, you wouldn't be able to argue it.
That's horrible. XD :laughing:
I think we should start wrapping up the Superlatives. Who here has not voted in every poll?
Me, but that's by choice. Please don't ask me to change my mind.
So there I was, unable to play games on ma PC because I was burning the latest American Dad episodes to DVD (I'm slow off the mark, sue me) and, for some reason, I come up with the idea to google the phrase 'sequels that should never have been made'. I get a couple of Amazon wish lists, a couple of threads on random forums, and this. If you're too lazy to click, here's the top 5:
5. Batman & Robin
4. Blues Brothers 2000
3. Leprechaun: Back 2 Tha' Hood
2. Caddyshack 2
1: Staying Alive
...and then the rest of the thread goes on with people arguing that the Matrix sequels were actually fairly good and that Phantom Menace was better then A New Hope. Which is clearly bollocks, since the acting in TPM was appalling and TMR was full of so much technobabble and random words strung together that you couldn't understand a fraction of it.
Episodes 1, 2, 3 FTW. But there's no way that I want to argue with AGN's resident Doctor Who and Star Wars fan.
I haven't voted in all the superlatives yet. I'll wrap it up tomorrow before lunch, while I'm in Flash ActionScript class.

😞 That's the one.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only non-noob-smasher who likes items. They do "add spice". The Heart container aside, I think that all the items are perfectly balanced. I do however understand that in tounraments that items/hyrule temple/glithes are banned. It make sperfect sense to want to see the basic skills used fully. But in a regular match, having no items, and a bland arena...it's just dull.
Oh, and BTW, did I mention I'm an Opportunist? I get that bonus all. the. freaking. TIME!
I don't get it. Last night, I was at my cousin's wedding, and I got pretty drunk. I was feeling pretty sick at one point, but I got past that and had a good time. This morning, nothing. Everyone else there had a bad hangover, but I was fine. Is it because I was going to the bathroom every 5 minutes yesterday or am I just insusceptible to them?

Did you have more than one type of drink? Say beer then a few shots of jack and some wine or some mixture of that?
That's where most of your hangovers come from is taking a shit load of different drinks in. Mostly why I stick to Jack and I can't stand the taste of beer.
I had a lot of everything, except for beer. I had a lot of rum, some bad vodka, a shot of tequila, and a little bit of scotch. It got me drunk fast, but I was fine in the morning.

Being a big fan of Melee so I know where this is all coming from. I actually don't use some the items and use others instead. Example: I don't use the Bom-omb, but I use the Motion Sensor Mine. I don't use the Hammer, but I use the Home-Run Bat. Some items just perform funcitons that are too similar. So I just use only one of them.
And I too get Opportunust. I jsut can't resist that bonus for some reason. :kitty:
I love the Home-Run Bat. I'm deadly with it.
Let's see, I'm a little rusty when it comes down to the definitions of the bonuses. So I'm going to have to look that one up.

Oh, please, I never get this one. 😉 Attack, attack, attack is my motto.

Butterfingers(-500)
- Had a high rate of grab and dash-grab failures.
Now THIS is one I always get. I play as Link, so it's difficult to grab with the Hookshot.
I have to also say that I get Butterfingers often. Samus and Link both have the same Grab/Throw type move so it can be kinda hard to do just right sometimes. Also I have to say of all the items, the Beam Sword and the Home-Run Bat are my favs. And the Paper Fan of Doom. :kitty:
Hear hear, Pineconn. I also rarely get Opportunist. I'm not the self-proclaimed (Okay, that isn't quite true. Others have shouted it out in the middle of a battle as well. :-3 ) MissileBitch for no reason! Huzzah.
I really have no problem with items being on. I just keep them on very low, where they can't become a nuisance, and even then, I remove red shells, the hammer, the Star, and (Usually) the health items. I also don't use Baseball bats. I throw them. I also wait to throw them, just as I wait to use my Charge Beam as Samus.
We also had a Pro Doc Mario Player Today. (Pic almost related.) Difficult to defeat, those professionals. I heard rumors that they take Aderol (However it's spelled) right before a match, as it enhances reaction time. It's the equivalent of steroids in MLG.
... was very happy that my Link defeated him eventually. Good lord, that guy is a challenge.
I had class until 10pm tonight and ended up going out with a few people from class. We had to go to David's apartment because his parents were bringing him a couch. Yes a couch at 10 o clock at night.
We ended up going to buffalo wild wings after that and didn't realize we spent almost two hours talking. I'm dead and ready to fall asleep in this chair. Highlight was going out and realizing something when driving back to campus with Brittany so I could get my car.
WOO LIFE IS GOOD! I didn't do too bad on my quiz either.
I hate going to class when I stay up all night, especially since I have class at 8. A class on probability isn't going to wake you up either.
To all of you SSBMers:
Pshaw, Kirby FTW. You know what I discovered? If you hover above someone and turn into a rock and fall on them, a lot of people won't get out of the way.
I've been privy to that info for quite awhile especially since Kirby is one of DO's fav characters to use. Anyone else surprised of some the new characters appearing in Brawl? Diddy Kong and Lucas (Mother 3) for example. I would not have expected another Kong to appear really and Lucas? Is he just replacing Ness or will he be joining him? There's still a few months till the game is released and only time will tell. And who knows? Maybe they'll replace Falco with Krystal? :kitty:
You know what I discovered? If you hover above someone and turn into a rock and fall on them, a lot of people won't get out of the way.Rest well assured, .. this actually works on me most of the time. 😛 I'm one of those people who HATES it when people spin attack, for only the two reasons that you can edge guard really well with it, and yet it's structurally flawed, in the sense that you can up+b to JUST the very edge without popping your head any higher than you need to, then release and Up+B again, right into the spin attack. Rather nasty, actually. That, and you can just shield at the right time (Which most of the Pros do anyway.) and you've made yourself completely vulnerable after the spin attack. So I don't like people having to compromise themselves for such a cheap move when they could actually try and learn some real evasive and counterattack maneuvers.
Kirby just ticks me off. X x. At least I can live with the fact that this Cutter attack can be power shielded. It's just completely rewarding. When facing a Kirby, if you want to escape most of his attacks while attacking head on, you actually have to know how to wavedash and shield really well. Kirby's fire rush (Running+A) is kinda tough to avoid, and catches me off guard a lot.
And who knows? Maybe they'll replace Falco with Krystal?An outright replacement would make a lot of people very unhappy. I'm a massive Falco player. Hell, I'm sure PC Chris and BombSoldier alone would be the pure stopping force (Complete with a freaking shotgun) behind the replacement. But yes, Krystal would be so very kickass to have in the game. As long as they don't introduce Slippy instead. 😛

Is he just replacing Ness or will he be joining him?I wasn't so much surprised, as I was ... eh. I don't much care about the characters, but I'll learn them anyway. Ness could be a parallel replacement, or could be a different supplementative character. There's not been that much from Earthbound in the first place, so Lucas could be the equivalent of a Falco or Young Link or Pichu from Melee. Or, learning from their ... "mistakes" ... in Melee, he could have entirely different moves, but Ness would remain. OR, if worse comes to worse, Lucas could just be a completely retexturing and reconstruction of sound of Ness. So Ness would be "changed" yet the same.
My Extra Spearmint Gum doesn't last an extra long time, but it tastes so good for that short time when the flavor's there. Someone could sue them over that.

Ugh. I hate Slippy with a vengence. If he's in the game, he's going to be my punching bag whenever I don't have somebody to play against.
Also the Krystal thing was a half joke. Kinda. I like Falco more than Fox really. Krystal would just be a nice addition. Like they could have all three of them kinda like Mario, Peach and Bowser from the Mario series (along with DK and Wario) and they could reign from the Star Fox games. But that's all just really wishfull thinking. :shrug:
