    Which type do you pick?

  3. I want to take a break from White 2

    So I’m spending my Superbowl starting Y

    Unfortunately I don’t want a Kalos starter (Chespin is my favorite of the bunch, Froakie is meh till Greninja and… I do not use Fenniken)

    So what Kanto starter should I go for?

  4. So here’s a crappy writing thing I did at the request of @BigGuyI:disqus, if you guys have any criticisms or anything that’d be cool but it’s pretty much just me being bored and wanting to write about angry poisonous gorilla rabbits attacking each other

      • Exactly! I’ve never even attempted soft-resetting for a legendary (or anything for that matter) because I just lack patience, but I figure that shiny Celebi is a once-in-a-lifetime chance that I refuse to pass up! It’ll be a good lesson in patience for me, as well as a way to kick-start some real shiny hunting!

  5. i’m an altoholic…there i said it

    i’m trying to revitalize my love for wow but all i can really do that i should do is level my priest and druid to the cap of level 110 (Which they are 100 and 104) but they are my least favorite classes thus making it feel like a chore

    so i make a brand new shiny slack jawed orc under the appropriate sounding name “Crugg”

  6. Wait maybe we can have multiple save files on the switch! And once we beat the game we can fight the trainers from our other save files akin to Red

  7. So I’m not watching the game but The Cloverfield Paradox is coming to Netflix TONIGHT?!?!?! This is the Breath of the Wild DLC situation all over again! I love Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield Lane so this is incredibly exciting to me. Now it all makes sense why they never revealed any information…they’re Direct Mini’ing it up.
