So wait, do we all have to wait the same time that Ryan does?

'

To re-guess? Yes. 12:41 central time, and you can guess again.

Yeah. *Shutter*. I'm glad I don't have that condition.

Curiosity got the better of me too and I looked it up...cure you!

There was actually a game at my school. People picked a page, on, say, kittens. Then you hit random page and by only using links to other wikipedia articles, you had to make it to kittens. Fun times.

Haha, we had that game too!

One good thing about IT class was that if we ever got bored there was always the internet to turn to!

I assume you mean "Curse you".

Yeah, I was sure ours wasn't the only school to do so

I really should stop eating so many pringles at the computer. I think the crumbs have jammed the keyboard :/

 

[emeraldrafael]

shame, I'll be in class then. Oh well.

and looked up what you guys were saying, its not that horrifying. almost looks like you have a third demon eye.

It is rather horrifying, because it's supposed to hurt really really badly. At least that's what I'm told.

But yes, it does look like a demon eye. Which is pretty scary.

I am just waiting for you catch Latios now.

Plus I DO enjoy the jokes you make while playing.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to catching Latios as well.

By the way, do you care to guess a number for the contest? You've nothing to lose.

Sure. 16. But I don't really want to name Groudon. I mean I wil do it if I win. But I wanna name Latios. :3

I'll be doing a different contest for Latios, if I even catch it at all. See, it's a might frustrating to catch it. Hard to find.

Pokedex is your best friend. The Pokemon location shows the route he will be in. everytime you go to a new route or city or enter/leave a building he moves to an adjacent one to the one he was just in. also flying randomizes his location.

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby Mini-Update 6: In which we feed a fish to a Pelipper[/HEADING]​

So far the numbers 4, 9, 13, 23, 24 have been picked and are wrong. So you still have a good chance.

Now it's time for the off-topic question time: What do you think about the SOPA/PIPA blackout? Personally, like most people here, I'm not a fan of SOPA. However, Wikipedia is something I use daily, so going without it would be pretty bad for me.

22!

Personally, I just decided to do all my wiki-ing today before the shutdown.

Same. I hit random page and I got "phimosis". *Shutter*

Oh, and sadly, everyone is wrong. . But again, anyone can guess. Even non-frequent readers or non-readers all together.

OH GOD! WHY DID I LOOK THAT UP! THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

I don't just go through random stuff, just use it to look up stuff, and the get sidetracked (like on tv tropes!) today I just used it to look up all the data about NGE because I'm gunna rewatch it.

Yeah. *Shutter*. I'm glad I don't have that condition.

Haha, that's pretty funny. But you might want to put some words in there, lest the mods nab you for a low-content posting.

And this version was more a race than lowest number of steps.

well, I think enough time has passed, if I have this right. so Im gonna guess 8 if no one has won yet.

Mmmmm, it seems my last post didn't go though.

Sadly, 8 is not correct. But you are correct that people can guess again.

Oh, and you can start throwing out your own name ideas as well.

 

[emeraldrafael]

For Groundon? I would say Terra, or maybe Cronus.

Alright, I'm done work for the week, so I'll respond to the questions I've missed:

Update 18: Yeah, living in a world with pokemon would be too weird. I mean, at the age of ten, you have the choice of seeing awesome pokemon and have a shot at becoming world champion. The world would be very short of regular jobs in the long run, no?

Update 19: I've read the manga when I was 10. Misty looked real badass riding that Gyarados. Stopped reading around Gen 2.

Update 20: I was obsessed with the TCG during that craze when I was 10. When I turned 12, I sold all of them for around $700 CAN. Around that time, the TCG fad was almost dying down.
I would've named that Wailmer "Candy". After who else? The most beloved fat man in movies, John Candy.

Mini-update 5: My GotY is Arkham City. Being a Batman fanboy, my dreams of playing a perfect Batman game was finally realized.

Update 21: My little brother started playing Pokemon again when he got a 3DS and White for Christmas. Too bad he didn't get Soul Silver or Platinum so we can fill each others Pokedex. I also have nieces and nephews playing hand-me-down GBC's and GBA's with our old Pokemon games. I have a big family, so my sisters are on a budget.

Update 22: I got my game similar to your method, but I got to choose first. I looked up websites to see which version had pokemon I liked, then our mom would buy them for grading day gifts. Random number generated 16. I'll take suggestions if I'm correct.

Mini-update 6: The internet would really be little use of my personal time anymore if it passes. Of course I'm opposed of it.

EDIT: Scratch that 16. Just looked up to see someone else guessed that. 27?

 

[StorytellingIsAMust]

I guess number 1 because why not? As for names, I want him to be named Clay, again because, why not?

Oh yeah, and I highly oppose SOPA. Everything about it threatens mass internet censorship like the Hays Code in the movies...times a billion.

[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby 23: In which we blame Al Gore[/HEADING]​

Spoiler

So these guys managed to build themselves a nice cave to hide in.

They even have a hot tub! With jets!

Rock pushing puzzles! Is there anything else more fun?

And a sauna too! These guys thought of everything!

Next person to say "Fufufu" gets shot. Final warning

What? You kept begging me to chase you!

I'd show the battle, buuuuuut we've got a lot of screencaps this update

That's it. You had your chance!

...

Damn

Groudon gets up and runs at us, then jumps in the air.

You should have taken the red orb, you big silly.

It's the sun. It tends to do that.

"Who could have known that waking up an ancient demigod that nearly destroyed the world last time could have done this?"

We'll take your word for it.

It's called "water".

"I only wanted to destroy nature!"

Damn you, global warming!

Reckless is my middle name.

I look forward to beating you

How can you see what's in my pocket?

Whew, that was a lot of plot

Next time: We catch Groudon!

Question time: Did you ever watch the pokemon movies? I did. I watched the first... 5 of them, I think. After that, I really didn't watch the anime much any more. I actually had one of my birthday parties at the 3rd movie

Oh, and the guessing is still on for the number. To expedite it, I'll tell you that the number is greater than 10 and less than 20. There you go.

Also, 27 is the number of amendments to the American Constitution. That isn't much of a hint, but it might be.

Oh, and everyone can guess again, as of this posting.

EDIT: 14 was the correct answer. Mr. Frappe got it.

Before I comment on the review, I noticed you repeated some of the same screenshots a few times. 2 of the same if I might add, with the same chat/post comment so I don't think you meant to do that on purpose. Just pointing that out, if you did intend to do so I apologize otherwise.

OT: Wow, I sort of rolled my eyes at this screenshot here:

So let me get this straight..

A group of gangsters in blue (Team Aqua are they?) tried to stop Team Magma this whole time yet a single teenager (or kid) was able to stop all of them, plus defeat the leader of Magma.. however the leader of Team Aqua has the nerve to say you're unable to handle this after that?

<spoiler=Perfect response>
But yeah the plot with Team Manga trying to control this ancient beast is pretty flawed besides their natural laughing spree of 'Fufufu' (Whatever that sounds like..) If it tried to destroy the world beforehand, what makes you think awakening it with an orb you really know nothing about will prevent that from happening again? But overall this review was great!!

Also is the number 14? That's my guess.

14....

IS CORRECT!

As I said, there are 27 amendments to the US constitution. 14 is the one I study the most as a Con-law student

Spoiler

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

So yeah. You are the winner! You get to name Groudon!

So yeah. You are the winner! You get to name Groudon!

I won? Oh man I don't know what to say ^_^ I am glad you gave me that hint about the 27 amendments because my older brother is actually in Law School and he talks about 12-16 of the amendments since most company court cases reflect off those ones. However 14 was a total guess so.. W00T!! (And hey, I got to learn about the facts in the spoiler bar. Thank you for those!)

As to name that almighty Pokemon? Darn.. let's see... *thinking* I think this would be hilarious but if you could, name him Charmander (Lol what? I know right..) Just think about it.. so yeah please name him Charmander for me XD

Well, it'll be a little bit before I take a screencap, and the idea was to allow for other people to make suggestions, only you'd be the one with the final say. So it's up to you if you want to wait or not. There's no real rush though.

Ohhhhh~ I remember you saying that. My bad, I got carried away with how funny it'd be naming a godly Pokemon something like Charmander haha. But yeah I am a very patient person, and I would love to see what the others wish to name him. So again I apologize about that ^_^.

Quite alright, quite alright. As I said, the same rules still apply for names (IE, nothing vulgar). But I don't think I have to worry about that.

Oh, and gratz on 10K posts, BTW
