    Student Loans (are a necessary evil)

    Mmm, I feel your pain, well, I will in a year or two. Our government recently did a bit to catch the student vote last election by wiping any interest you accumulate during your study once you finish studying. Quite a handy move on their part really. But hey, I'm already around the 20 thou mark...

    I have a huge decision to make.....

    Well, I personally have no experience with organised religion, being the dirty heathen that I am, but I say go for it (I am assuming here that you are in the older extreme of the age bracket you mention). If you are indeed around 15 it's only a year or so before it's legal to go around creating...

    Real-life news: The situation in Burma

    Mmm, situation not good apparently. 200 monks arrested in pre-dawn raids, and the prisons 'ain't known for their friendly ways. I think infact one prison is nicknamed the "Insane" prison or somesuch. Kuroboom, I've seen plenty of petitions never reach anyone important and I've seen plenty that...

    Real-life news: The situation in Burma

    Well said Baratron! This forum isn't exactly the prime place to generate awareness but it's awesome that you're doing things like this. We can also do more than send positive feelings to support these people. I've recently signed this online petition at http://www.avaaz.org/en/. Any chance we...

    The Random PokePoll Topic (61): Still watch the Anime?

    Omanyte. Cutest. fossil. ever. Need I say more?

    The Random PokePoll Topic (61): Still watch the Anime?

    Awww, I missed my chance to vote for Venomoth, nobody even gave him love! I personally think he's the best of the bunch aesthetically. If only his pre-evo wasn't as ugly...

    Pokemon VS Reality

    Heh, I remember back to the days when I was worried about school-kid guided flak and all that. But that's long gone now... :'( At one stage I had my whole flat playing. It's actually quite noticeable the amount of people who appreciate it as an addictive tactical game. Either that or they have...

    PS2/PSX Recommendations

    Story-wise it's one of the most enjoyable I've played, though I've only played the "first" one on PC. It can be a little confusing and hard at times but it really does offer quite a lot to do. I've heard II is more of the same and am looking to get it someday, III I am wary of though because I...

    PS2/PSX Recommendations

    Hmm, what to suggest... I see you've already got Katamari well on your list so there goes one of my highly reccomendeds. I just finished "Shadow of the Colossus", which I mentioned in another thread, and it is well worth it if you see it for a reasonable price. It's basically a beautiful...

    DPPt/HGSS Movesets Needed

    Throw Crunch on Arcanine? Iron Defense on Gorebyss? Man, I'm rather rusty at this now. I assume this is 4th gen right?

    Games you wish were more well known.

    Hmmm, really? Maybe I should have a dig around then and see what I can see. Though I think this may have more to do with the publications I read and the gamers I hang with. It's actually quite pleasing to know it got some acclaim then, it is well deserving of it.

    Games you wish were more well known.

    Ah yes, I do enjoy its challenge though. Spending an hour riding backwards on a horse just to get that perfect shot? Totally worth it when the beastie comes tumblin' down. I can only hope that the designers get set loose on a next gen console. I also wish more and more that the Dynasty Warriors...

    Your current music

    Yep, Songs for the Deaf is a stonking album, but the radio fill after the 20th time? not so much... Having said that has anyone got a listen to Queens "Era Vulgaris" yet? is it good? is it a repeat of "Lullabies to Paralyze"?

    Games you wish were more well known.

    Hmm, I picked up two good PS2 games recently that I've found to be wholly enthralling but which I cant remember much hype for. The first is "We Love Katamari". It's that game where you roll stuff up into a ball. As simple as that really, yet you've no idea how hard it is to explain the concept...

    Yoshi's Obligatory Sprite Thread

    That's a Guan Dao he's holding right? If so I approve. It kinda makes me long for my old Jade Cocoon game. T'was a pokemon rip I'll admit but it was incredibly satisfying to be able to sub in for one of your monsters and start taking to the other guys team with a katana or somesuch.

    DPPt/HGSS Favourite Double Battling Combos

    I was thinking about the uses of sunny day recently and I felt like using it for a double battle team with Tropius and Camerupt. I know they may not be extremely powerful or anything, but they can decently cover quite a few types with STAB. Also Tropius gets the ability that ups Sp Attack at the...

    Name that Laptop competition!

    Blue Lion! Blue Lion! I wiki'd Sven and ended up rediscovering my ultimate, favourite, childhood cartoon, which is none other than Voltron! A strange topic led to something even stranger for me it seems. Just to clarify, Sven is the name of the pilot of the Blue Lion. But heck, give the laptop...

    Your current music

    Ok, this must be brought to attention. Imagine, if you will, the British artist M.I.A. and her hit "Galang". Now Imagine that M.I.A. is now decked out in overalls and has a moustache and funny hat. http://charlesrequina.com/blog/2007/02/23/do-the-mario/ That above, ladies and gents is the...

    skill swap duration?

    Ah, a good thought none the less. I was fooled by the inability of the two Ghost/Dark pokemon to learn skill-swap, never thought to use an intermediate. I rather approve of highly complicated and unusual setups like this, they may not be practical but they sure are fun. A point to note though...
