Pokemon is a lot of things, but balanced not one of them. Don't get me wrong, with Smogon.com's rules and tiers, the game is damn well balanced, but you need to restrict it. At the same time, however, a mouse that shoots electricity probably isn't supposed to be on the same level as a giant sea serpent. But it's not just the Pokemon, it's their typings as well which are not all equal. Some are great offensively, some are great defensively, and some are just plain better than others. So here's my top five typings.

I'm 38 gigs into a whopping 44 gig install.  Lucky for me though, the game allows you to play the first parts of it while it finishes downloading and installing itself.  I decided to give it a rest and watch a little TV before the boyo comes homes from school to tackle his homework.  I'm trying to make it a point to not have anything he might take an interest in on the TV while he knocks out his "pages".

Yeah, i'm almost running out of ideas. Not only that, but i'm getting some university mid-terms next week, so I should start studying in a few moments. Have instead a collection of songs:

Good morning Pixlbit Nation, how are you on this fine Thursday morning? It is a cool 45 degrees here in sunny Southern California, and while I am enjoying a nice donut, I thought it was about time I talk about my absolute favorite console that I own, the Playstation 2. Let’s take a trip back to when I bought my Playstation 2. It was a year or so after it’s release (remember when everyone was hoarding them and trying to resell them on eBay?) Well I waited because I didn’t want to spend the crazy cash for it, and I was deciding on which console to buy, the X-Box, or the PS2. I loved the Playstation brand but I was willing to try something new, but it all came down to one thing: which one will play DVDs. See before this I had a DVD player but my brother moved into his own spot and I gave him my DVD player and watching on a computer monitor wasn’t the most ideal thing. The X-Box needed a separate remote in order to play DVDs and the PS2 not so much, so after class I went down to the local Walmart and bought a PS2. The first game I played on my new PS2? Madden 2002…for the original Playstation. Yeah I didn’t buy a PS2 game until the next week.

I wrote some articles for plus10damage.com:

My son's tv is on the fritz, so I'm going to be letting him play the ps4 for a while.  We're gonna save a couple hundred and go get him a 32 inch tv, same size he currently has, though it may or may not be as good as the LG he currently has.  We've been having issues with this tv for the past few months.  It's a 2009 model, and the screen tends to shut off at times.  It's been happening more frequently, so much that he can't even get through a whole episode of Ninjago.  He's got his 2DS, but he lost interest in it in the wake of him getting the ps3.  He's been a good sport about it the past couple of days, so I figured I'd let him get in some time with his ol' Pops' console.

So I have alot to make up on and I'm sorry. Things got crazy which is what I expected. However I'm gonna finish this dammit. So just a few things to start, we got the apartment pretty much set up to go for March 1st and 2nd. We payed the deposit and am paying the first month rent next week. Next Monday our families are having a housewarming party to celebrate us moving on to our next adventure. I'm pretty excited for it! I'm also nervous but new adventures normally come with that.

So Square Enix put out this weird episodic adventure game called "Life Is Strange" and I played the first episode. It reminds me a lot of Alan Wake, except it has teenagers and no combat, but it takes place in North West U.S in a town similar to Alan Wake and the main character, a girl named Max has weird powers. She can travel between the real world and the dreamworld (Spoiler: and can also manipulate time.)

I already touched on the physics puzzler once this month but here's another one, and quite different to boot. In Cling Thing you control the titular Thing. By touching the screen you can make your little guy shoot out gooey tendrils and grab walls and platforms—any that are covered in purple goop, at least. The main goal in any level is to reach the exit pipe. Along the way you can collect up to three stars, which are used to unlock later worlds. You can also earn a gold, silver, or bronze medal for each level depending on how fast you complete it but I haven't figured out the point of those yet.

Came home tonight. Pulled my 3DS out of my pocket, where it's been all day, and saw that lovely green light that says I have a Street Pass. Let's see who's there.

Kickstarter seems to get more flack than praise nowadays. While once it was a way for Tim Schaefer to give an awesome new adventure game, now it feels like people are taking advantage of it more often. To that I say, what the hell do you expect? This is an industry where Dead or Alive 5 Last Round comes with over $100 worth of costume DLC. You give people an idea, they will find a way to exploit it.

Mainly Wednesday's BaD is full of the usual crap about games and stuff.

Scariest Gaming Moment?

Games:

Pixlbit what day is it? Yeah sorry I really do like that commercial. Anyways yesterday I went over my love for the PSP and today I figured we keep it with the handhelds and talk about my first new handheld, the Sega Game Gear. I think I got my Sega Game Gear right around the time of my 7^th or 8^th grade year for my birthday. I didn’t know much about Sega because at the time we were a Nintendo house, but when everyone had the Gameboy I wanted the one with a color screen and single handedly kept Duracell in business (that thing ate batteries). I had that handheld going from 7^th or 8^th grade all the way up to my freshman year of college when I didn’t have a TV yet so at night before I went to sleep I would play a game or two Madden. I had maybe 6 or 7 games total on the handheld. For a long while this was my favorite handheld. I bought a couple of different cases (the official Sega one was crap, so I went with a padded Case Logic or something similar), and thanks to Walmart’s Clearance endcap I bought a 3^rd party battery pack that screwed into the back of the handheld. This was better than the Official battery.
