  2. It electrifies its claws and tears its opponents apart with them. Even if they dodge its attack, they’ll be electrocuted by the flying sparks.

    It approaches its enemies at the speed of lightning, then tears them limb from limb with its sharp claws.

    Nothin Personnel, Alola

  9. So I never learned to play an instrument before, but I’m thinking about buying a flute. A very specific flute, that looks like this. I just watched the Kill Bill movies and loved them to death (haha), and I realized that the sound of this Chinese flute is exactly what I have been interested in for years. It’s 4 feet long and $100 but it would be specially made for me…should I do it? Am I crazy?

  10. I know nobody’s here at this time of night but there’s an interesting rumor being discussed on 4chan right now and thought it should be put here.
    >New Super Mario All-Stars
    A holiday 2018 release. Remake / remaster of all four NSMB games with DLC from the 3DS / Wii U games added. Will also tie in with the mobile game (pic related) and add content from that, like more playable characters and the Toad Rally mode.
    >Metroid Prime 4: Rivals
    Releasing sometime in 2019. Classic Prime first-person gameplay, will have both a campaign and an extensive multiplayer mode. Will focus on the backstory of Sylux, and the morality of the Galactic Federation. The multiplayer mode features multiple playable hunters / marines to play as, bringing in elements from Echoes / Hunters / Federation Force. Expect that to receive continual updates with new maps / modes. Prime 4: Rivals will be Nintendo’s premiere competitive FPS, and they will push it hard.
    >Metroid Prime Trilogy
    The first three games remastered. Echoes’ multiplayer is removed, while new features are added like traditional controls and amiibo support. Probably releasing in fall 2018.
    >Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch
    Nintendo’s big hitter for holiday 2018. Based off the Wii U edition with stages / modes / trophies from the 3DS edition added. Smash Run / Smash Tour get online multiplayer, new Smash Run enemies, and Break the Targets is brought back, with individual maps for each character. All DLC is present except for the Miiverse stage. New characters are Ice Climbers, Solid Snake, the Inklings, and Geno, each with their own stage. Smash Switch will be supported for a few years, with multiple DLC seasons planned, including characters, stages, and Mii costumes.

    Some more tidbits are Animal Crossing and Pokemon in 2019 and Yoshi’s Flip Side in the summer. This person could be completely false but this goes in line with other rumors about this year being very port-focused from Nintendo. I believe it personally. Anyway, I hope there isn’t a new article tomorrow to bury this post…goodnight.

  11. I just had a effed up dream, something about a zombie lobster suspended in the air above a pool and having to form a human tower to get it, and some guy fell and cracked his ribs…

    If you think I’m making this up you are sorely mistaken

  18. Hey @Seraph
    Your jelley fish gave me the weirdest dream/nightmare ever

    I watched a Pokémon trailer when it revealed the new starters

    Jelpie
    Water electric

    Idk
    Grass steel goat with long horn that have little leaf spikes on it. When he attacks the leafs grow into huge spikes.

    Burnoko
    Fire/Dragon
    Orange snake with orb on head and tail

    Then it showed the legendays
    A manatee for past
    And a robot dragon for present
    (This is where it got weird)

    Incinaroars burst out of the legendary and the starters evolve and start fighting them
    The trailer ends with N closing a book and walking out through a glowing door

    I got out of my chair and turned around and there was an incinaroar in my doorway
    (End)

  19. My brain might be broken… my mind feels hazy and unfocused, unable to form complete sentences in my head nor generate my grandiose ideas or functions… I think my sleep apnea is getting worse and really need to reinvest in a sleeping mask… which means I cannot shift positions in my sleep without compromising it

  20. I have hatched every Pokémon from the odd egg at least once. No shiny yet…… I think I have hatched at least 8 eggs. Will do more later when I get off work. Hopefully I get one soon lol

  24. Reposting this from below.
    I just realized that the whole Mew Gave Birth thing Implies that unlike in the anime where Mewtwo
    was born in a futuristic glass cylinder, in the games They might have actually
    Modified a Mew Fetus In-Utero.
