Going on a new forum is hard. It's so awkward and stuff. Like it's so much easier to talk to people in real life. But going on a new forum? It's so intimidating. It's like going to a new school. Stuff is tough man. Stuff is tough.

On the 31st i get two of my wisdom teeth pulled. Boy its kinda be a pain to deal with the pain afterwards. (I had to suffer with a whole week with one still trying to grow in)

I had all four of my wisdom teeth dug out in . . . when was it . . . summer 2010, I think? It was great. The surgeon tried talking to me about movies after injecting anesthetic, and then I spent the next eight days eating yogurt and scrambled eggs. And then a few years later my sister got all four of hers taken out, and she was home and annoying me before I even woke up that morning! Thanks, life!

Good luck, though, either way it's really very not fun to have stitches in your mouth. Can still feel where mine used to be sometimes, some how :P

Well my mouth feels better for now, lets just hope it lasts till the 31st. They did give me some pills to take for the pain till then.

Thankfully I havent had wisdom teeth, or any teeth pulled for that matter. I had fillers, but thats about it

As far as non-teeth related stuff, open house for school is tommorow night, and school officially starts the 24th. I can confirm for being unexcited about it. I cant sleep in all day? No to all of that

I've been out of school for more than a year now, and it's still really weird to see everyone else going back without me . . .

Well open house was a nightmare. Apparently im on the waiting list for Japanesse, and may not be able to get in. Every weeb around here wants to take Japanesse, so I have to just hope I get in. If not, I'll probably just sign up for Psychology. Fingers crossed.

You're lucky, Dragonite. I HATE SCHOOL SO MUCH. ONE MORE YEAR OF PAIN AND SUFFERING.

Be glad that you guys are at school. I'm working now.

Though I work for schools

Well, I finally buckled down and did it. I have a Tumblr now!

...Now I just need to do something with it.

So did you guys hear what almost happen at worlds? I read on facebook from them Pokemon Global News guys that on thursday last week boston police arrested two people trying to go to pokemon world championships and start shooting. But its a good thing they caught in time, who knows what would have happened.

Yeah, I did hear about that. Here's the story:
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/two.../1100-6429980/

Some people truly are sick psychopaths.

I have gone on several angry tirades on this already, and I'll try to keep this one . . . reasonable. Saw this last night and it took me like an hour to wrap my head around it.

"Pokémon."

"Weapons."

"Pokémon."

"Weapons."

Why are those words even in the same thread as each other? Is there now a competition to be the very worst, like no one ever was? Travel halfway across the bloody country just to do . . . what, again? No, no, no, no, no, .

THIS is why we need to put a ban on guns the size of a barracuda. Excellent coverage of it here, warning, guy uses bad words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs4avfA7NCM

Also did I mention this before? NO. NO. NO.

Still going to Magfest, by the way. I need to go watch Sesame Street or something for a while now.

I've looked into this one a bit and they never explicitly stated tat was the plan. All one of the guys posted was they were ready for Worlds and they took a picture of those two guns on the back of a car. Not to say that this is excusable. TCPi took the right action. The players also got slapped with a lifetime organized play ban too.

Still i dont think they should of had them gunz anyways, they did state that those guns were unregistered or something.

Magfest registration opened today, I don't suppose anyone's got plans for going? (I seem to as this every year, don't I?)

Man what happen to everybody? Its starting to be like pokezam all over again where less and less people stop showing up on the forums till it just died.

They probably just went reaaaaaaaally quiet.

I'm still trying to find a job that would make sense.

The forum will die only if we as a collective whole let it die...

...or if Tic-Tac pulls the plug. Either way, it seems we're headed in that direction.

VR will never die!

Or at the very least we should have a retirement party or something for it. Mmm, cake.

You know i was thinking of re-selecting our current gym types. Be nice to be another type besides dark, plus if we re-do our gyms or change types to use, maybe we can get more people to challenge us.

I wouldn't take offense to restructuring the gym league.

I do have an X/Y theme set to admin-only with Xerneas navy and Yveltal maroon for colors, but it didn't turn out so great. Perhaps I'll initiate a revival when Gen VII or another big game rolls around.

You can try to make the perfect zyguard form as a background when said game comes with it

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you ate yourself to sleep

What you guys think of this Yo-Kai watch thing? I watched the anime today and seems alright (played the demo of the game, and the game is so-so). To me it seems a mix of both digimon and pokemon (as in Yo-Kai the monsters can talk)

I think it looks interesting, though I haven't been able to buy it (and my 3DS Internet went kaput so I can't really get my hands on the demo).

Probably will eventually, though. People I know who do have it says it starts off kind of slow but picks up later on.

I'm just trying to hold off on any new 3DS game purchases for now...

I think I'd rather spend the money on something else, and I've spent quite a lot on other things this Christmas.

So there's like 18 inches of snow outside and still coming down. Anyone else enjoying the lovely US East Coast blizzard today?

Edit: okay, store I work at is closed today. Must be even worse than it looks out there, they never close.

Wish I could donate a part of perpetual summer weather to you guys in blizzard storms...

When tax time comes around, im getting my self a badass new tablet. Im hoping if the camera are both in the frong and back, and i hope the quality is better than my current tablet. If the quality is better and it records stuff very well, im starting my youtube channel full time. (I have new video on my channel, but it sucks )

Ah, tax forms, those showed up in the mail just before I left for work yesterday. Should probably get around to looking them over, like, really soon. Fun stuff. Also this is the same Matt as you are, right? Just checking.

Ick, tax time. Doing taxes is not fun, but at least the 1040EZ allows skipping most of the confusing/special questions that you'd answer "0" on anyway.

Just realized this today, i have been here for six years. 6 years!! People! Siix years, been so long since them good old times from moving from pokezam with shadow and a few others. I miss that forum still. (The current owner has it closed down now )

Hey, so who watched the Super Bowl? I was actually in the halftime show! The marching band that was playing along with Coldplay during "Paradise" was the Cal Band, the band that I'm a part of!! WOOO!

The post-game Late Show with Stephen Colbert was pretty funny. Obama showed up to congratulate the Broncos and let us in on the secret listing of the next fifty Super Bowl winners:

So I was trying to find a working audio jack in my room and seriously considered trying Control+F. I used to think that was a huge joke when people said it. Nope!

I should probably bring up I've had an office job for about five months it mainly consists of.

A. Taking Payments and Payment Arrangements on Behalf of Comcast
B. Getting yelled at over issues I have no control over
C. Wondering why I'm still working here when no one seems to last more then one month

Just relized i been here 6 years! Man i miss them good old days at Pokezam. Wish i could get my old stuff off that site, but the forum was shut down for good this time.

words of advice: do not put off going to the grocery store to 11:30 PM the day before a big holiday. I don't know why people seemed surprised that basically the only meat left in the grocery store where I work yesterday was, like, ground beef and old sausages.

Ouch. Did you have to fight your way through checkout with a sword or anything?

Anyone play any good pranks--or have any good pranks played on them--this year?

Nope. April Fool's seemed awfully quiet this year :/

This is an unusually restrained April Fool's Day. Oh well...

I had to actually look up what Google did this year. It wasn't thrown in my face a week in advance like past ones. That's, like, unheard of :/

Very strange indeed? We had a werid April 1st this year didnt we?

So heard that people were upset about no gameplay video about pokemon sun and moon the otherday

I mean, they kind of did the same thing around this time of year for ORAS. "Top screen confirmed, no signs of the bottom one yet," remember?

Tbh I kind of want next CoroCoro(s) to be the most boring, unintesting thing ever, so we can all be blown away when E3 rolls around.

But when was the last time that happened?

Also, speaking of E3, Bethesda, feel free to announce TES6 any day now!

Pokezam is gone tryed googleing for it, but all that comes up is archives of the site or random sites that have its name. Man i miss it now

So I have this one chicken. She's almost nine years old. And laid an egg yesterday anyway. (For those of you who don't do chickens, the ones who laid the eggs you bought in the store were almost certainly younger than two.)

Chickens.

Probably something to do with the fact that she didn't lay eggs every day earlier (only like 4-5 a week for a few years, then pretty sporadically after that). The stem cell thing was interesting, though.

So, has anyone else played Bravely Second yet?

So far, I like Second better. I like the way the dungeons have a bit more dimension to them, should keep them interesting for a while longer than they were in BD1. (Ironically, the secret dungeon in BD1 did a REALLY GOOD JOB at pointing out that the only real difference between any of the dungeons in the game was the tilesets that they used.)



I'm also liking the plot a bit more, though that might be because it's easier to follow now that I know how BD1 ended. Yew seems kind of annoying, and his habit of being a complete wimp except for when it's convenient not to be hearkens annoyingly back to my complaints about Jurassic World, but I like the rest of the characters enough so we'll see.

Did you know there was more than one MichaelXD?

It had been that way for years.

Aw. Can anyone decide to know me? Why am I not well known?

For some stupid reason, I caught a turkey in my backyard last year. Why do such weird animals have to show up here?

"I don't believe what I just saw."

So I'm bored. I just watched the rest of my anime. I can't believe Eureka Seven is exactly one episode shorter than Full Metal Alchemist, but I'm not complaining about that.

I just had a rough appointment yesterday because people were giving me a hard time on ***** and I would never want to see them anywhere on forums with me again. They cause trouble. Seriously. I have a hard time getting some peace of mind.

3DS homebrew isn't taboo around here, right? Because this is a thing I did last night.

So I was working on an essay on Romanticism and I just realized that I unconsciously inserted the term "primal reversion" into the essay many, many times.

Have I been playing too much ORAS? I've been playing too much ORAS.

So I'm currently playing through Pokémon X in Italian, with no idea what anyone's saying. Was hoping that I'd kind of be able to get the sensation of being in another country of a language that I don't speak, but it turns out that Pokémon X is straightforward enough that I don't really need to know what anyone's talking about in order to get by :/

That, and the fact that I've already played the game four or five times since it came out. Eh.

Well i have been getting my youtube channel going (getting on the map so to speak) so far i 4-5 new videos up. If u guys wanna check it out, let me know. If Cat allows me to advertise my channel somewhere here on the forum?

Considering you've been around for a while, I think you should be fine as long as you don't make a habit out of it or something.

You've been trying to get this thing off the ground for a while, no?

Pretty much yeah. I got a new phone and it has a HD camera, so now i can actually record stuff. Plus it takes HD pictures too.

Earlier today, it was 130 degrees Fahrenheit in the sun (and 113 in the shade, which is where the temperature is typically taken). Yes, that thermometer has been calibrated.

It's also nearly 100 degrees out, at 12:30 at night.

The needle has left the range of your thermometer o_0

After years and years of trying to go, I'm finally getting to go to Pokémon Nationals this weekend. I'm very excited that I can cross that one off the bucket list.

It's my friend's birthday today.

Well i got my channel somewhat figured out, was able to change it to what name is here. Now the hard part is, is to re-sync my youtube app so it logs me back in thru that.

Hey, I'm wondering if it's ok my friend joins from the same router at this forum. No one's been answering my vms and they're all mods.

You should probably be okay, as long as nobody starts acting up or anything. You had the foresight to give advance notice, anyway.

Discovered something interesting about the Panasonic typewriter I acquired a couple months ago: I read on the box of my replacement ribbons that the "ink" is actually carbon based, so I got to thinking, "If that's carbon based, might I be able to use a pencil eraser to make corrections?"

I remembered that, in my drafter's toolbox, I have a number of soft plastic erasers, so I pulled one out and attempted to "erase" a little bit of text from the page I was working on. By golly, the text lifted away as if I had written it with pencil.

On another geeky note: with help from the USB-to-IDE/SATA adapter I bought awhile back, I was able to get my old iBook to recognize the SATA hard disk I pulled out of my Lenovo before upgrading to an SSHD and Windows 10. The old hard disk was formatted as Mac OS Extended (HFS+), which allows me to transfer 900 GB of data from the iBook (running Mac OS 9.2.2) to my Intel iMac (running Mac OS X 10.10.5 "Yosemite") and back again, unaffected by the drastic differences in the Macintosh operating systems. I could not, however, boot the iBook from the external hard disk, and I suspect that Mac OS 9.2.2 doesn't support booting from HFS+ formatted external hard disks, although I was successful in booting from a USB flash drive using the same filesystem and OS.

My brother just joined this forum and his inbox was totally wiped out when the account was recovered. Could someone activate his account for him please?

Finally back from Nationals. Had a great time, apart from a rental car snafu that leaves me seething still. Didn't make day two for TCG but I didn't lose a single round for the first 5 rounds. Was still a great experience that I'm looking forward to again next year... Hopefully back at Indianapolis next year... 'cause it's a shorter trip |3

We just got back from the bay shortly ago, just in time for 4th of July. Tomorrow will be my brother's birthday. I have no clue what we're doing for this day.

Hi guys! It finally is my birthday and this time I get to spend it on forums.

Cause I hate dealin' with leap year and the fact is, it was also my birthday 365 days ago and now February 29 isn't returning for another four year cycle. I also counted the same number of days since summer began.

So, finished Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Apparently it has an early reputation for being "really shiny fanfiction" or something, but while it had its weird parts (and some scenes I'd argue are completely unnecessary) it was still worth my time.

It's in play form, btw, so it reads way faster than most 300 page books.

Also I'm not going to consider it canon thanks to their interchangable use of Flipendo and Depulso.

Play form? That's rather bizarre for the series. On the other hand, maybe they wrote the film first?

"Really shiny?" Are you talking about Twilight or something else?

No, I haven't read it yet, but I did enjoy the Harry Potter films. (I have read the first three books, though.)
