  2. Hate to say it, but I’ve watched almost none of this years Worlds. I watched the opening ceremony of course, but for some reason this weekend I just couldn’t find myself interested enough in the streams to jump on. I caught the last part of the final Masters division round to see who would be the champion, but ultimately I haven’t really seen anything of this year….Tis a shame, but oh well

      • It was easier to fit King into the name than Royalty? Also King can be attributed to women, it’s just very very uncommon.

          • I know Hatshepsut more than anybody she put beard on her face to lock like a male though but Pharaoh and King r different title in other hand Egyptian worshiping the sun so it’s all about male……..I wonder how little girl like u know Hatshepsut I met Egyptian ppl that didn’t.

          • Age, Gender etc are irrelevant to knowledge. Knowledge is for anyone who seeks it. Maybe she just has an interest in it or looked it up before commenting.

          • Queen is the common and usually correct term. King has historically been attributed only under special circumstances to women, mostly for official reasons.

      • After i lost my previous job six months ago, i’ve had luck to find about this superb website that was a life saver… make $85 every hour and get paid at the end of each week …They offer online home-based work. My last month check after working with them for 3 months was $12000… Amazing thing about it was that only requirement for the job is basic typing and reliable internet…

  5. I am beyond exhausted
    Rough day with the family during a beach trip for my brother’s birthday
    Everyone didn’t want to be there and my brother sulked all the time

    If anybody has crowbar handy please bash me until I cease being conscious….

          • I honestly think the new Ben 10 is decent (At least, compared to the other reboots), it’s not nearly was bad as some of the other shows on CN. But, that’s just me, I tend to have a lot of unpopular opinions.

          • I mean, it sticks to the basic plot of the show. A kid finds a watch while on vacation with his grandpa and cousin that allows him to transform into different aliens. I won’t deny that it doesn’t match up to the original (not by a long shot), but I still think it’s one of the better reboots.

          • The OG show had a little darker, more monster-like style, this one is too smooth and child-friendly. I also hate that they just through out the window the big universe with a sh*t ton of cool characters with their own personalities and races, a lot of cool concepts, locations etc that were created during the 4 shows that created a great long story where the characters actually grew up and changed. It’s an unpopular opinion, but as a person who watched all the shows, Omiverse was the best one because they used the giant universe to their advantage and still were creative. It’s just a shame that It’s over and It’s replaced with a meh reboot. It’s like TTG for TT fans, the diffrence is this one is trying to be the same thing the OG show was (TTG is mostly a(n usually bad ) parody

          • Each to their own. I preferred when it seemed to be going somewhere. I really don’t enjoy the style, I even preferred Alien Force which had a somewhat ‘flat’ style. I guess the story and action could win me over with Spiderman. I’ve been watching Spiderman cartoons since the 90’s one (probably my favourite), and have seen some of the earlier ones.

          • My main issues with it were Gwen and Kevins’ new designs and that Max had no eyes, like if he had started that way like Brock I’d have been OK with it. Oh and I didn’t much like the Big Chill redesign. Otherwise yeah, it and the future episodes from the original series are probably my favourites.

      • There’s actually not much relating to Homecoming so far. Instead of just going to a regular high school, he goes to this special nerd school for smarties called Horizon High. The Vulture is the first villain to show up, but he’s not like how he is in the movie (and not in a bad way). Aña (I think that’s how you spell it) and Miles Morales even show up too (they’re different Spider-Men/Women).Overall, it’s pretty good so far. Give it a watch to see for yourself.

  7. Well after driving around for a few hours I’ve failed to find any eclipse glasses. I certainly won’t be waiting to the last second to acquire things in high demand anymore. I’ve learned my lesson.

  9. What should I go for next for shiny hunting? I was thinking either Sandygast or Comfey. Now that I have my Shedinja up into the 50’s level wise I can prolly go for some Pokemon at slightly higher levels lol

  15. GF to Ben 10 makers (sorry for posting about it so much, nobody’s posting anything else anyways)
    -We want to sue you! fourarms is a red machamp with a shirt!
    -Incineroar is a fire/dark Rath
    -Fair enough

    Reply

    • If Incineroar looked more like original Rath it might be better. I think I’d prefer if Incineroar was initially hunched over on all fours and stood up to attack, whilst also being more feral looking and not having the weird grey shirt (which would look better black or its’ main colour). Also I’d change the red to a more burnt orange, like a slightly darker and more vibrant version of Arcanine’s body fur. This is how I’d (try) to improve Incineroar.

      Original Rath for reference https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/ben10/images/5/56/Rath_1.png/revision/latest?cb=20141129035347

        • It would still be a wrestler though. It would be more similar to how a Gorilla stands (please note ‘more similar’ not ‘the same’). And frankly it could do with looking more like a real tiger.
