Whoa! That's like a really long downtime! I think the servers just gave up for the last few hours or so, huh?

Have you always been into simulation programming? How long has this been holding your interest?

Not really. As I said, this is just preparations for exams, and I wanted to something (rather) difficult and interesting to prepare for it.
Added battle simulation to main game, also added a simple experience algorithm and level up as well. Have yet to implement saving and loading data, though I have made some functions made, just need to implement them. Also, coded some weak AI, have to implement that as well, as I want it to work before I add it to the main core of the battle system. Battling with yourself gets boring after a while, but it's just for testing the core out at the moment.

It's not like I'm going to be playing this game much. If I was planning to do that, I'd just learn a different programming language and use that. It's great for practice to exams though, as it uses all main functions (and then some) I have to know, and it also makes me think, as I set the goal, and need to find a way to get there. Can't do the same in physics or math really.

Don't worry, it'll be back pretty soon.

It just hit 12 AM for me. XD

Up the the third movie, I found the HP movies okay. The first and second movies, I even liked them a lot.

But from fourth, it became disappointing.

The whole scene with Snape hugging Lily's body was totally unneeded. (and wasn't the whole house destroyed before that?) They should have used the time to add more scenes to the flashback. :/

On another topic, I think I want to be a plushie now.

I like green, blue and purple.
Me too.

Why thank you.
I'd say you were Scrafty, but I already confuse Twiggy with Minnie, I don't need another person added to the mix. :loopy:

You forgot a very important detail. Even Tangrowth itself is blue.
I didn't say blue was bad, just that green and purple pwn it.

:banana::banana:
emotrageplz.gif


I decided to completely redo all my avatar and signature and stuff. Bluuh.
Why? Did this theme wear out its welcome?

Especially that beginning scene where they are on the statue right before she pushes him off.
It's so touching. :')

(waves) Hello, chat people.
Your new avy is so cute. :3

It would be so weird seeing you change your username, to be honest. Then again, it probably was a bit when I evolved changed from Taio to Zenax.
Talking of which, is there a special origin behind your Skype name?
You're not the first to say that. I started talking to you more when you were Zenax, so it wasn't as weird for me. Changing back to Zenax a few hours after finally going with the pwnsome name of A Pimp Named Zenax, now that was a shame.

No, that's just what my spellcheck said 'Kakuna Matata' should be. The one on the computer I'm currently using says I should be 'Kahuna Atacama'.

Someone who understands the pwnsomeness that is purple. :D Your profile slightly gave that away, though.
It is the color of royalty, a perfect fit for the Queen of Cheeseland~ The royal colors are gold and purple, though that means I also share colors with the Minnesota Vikings. :/

This strange screen would protect their innocent eyes from the sight.

Hey, it's just a regular haircut. Unless you're frequently shipped with your hairdresser? (That's the word I got when I translated it from French, though it seems wrong. Is it?)
With Wookies in mind I was thinking of an all-over shave, since a Wookie would look silly with just a bald head. (Watch these movies already so you get more of my geeky references to it!)
And no, I am not shipped with her. I've know her since I was five. xD (It's a valid English word, yep yep.)

Nothing but truth ever come out of my fingers.
There's nothing wrong with that. Outsider might be from South Korea, and it didn't change that he's my favorite artist of the moment. :3
And just in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, here and here.
Nothing except for MALICIOUS LIES. >:eek: And occasional bits of truth.
KM's parents are not keen on any travel outside of the country. Meep. :x
If those are completely unaltered tracks, he is quite the motormouth. :eek: Nice cover choice too. :3

It'd be so awkward having a friend like Peppy in real life. Still furthers my point of 'with friends like these'.
Dealing with the generation gap would be difficult at times, I'm sure.
On a semi-related note, I thought Andrew Oikenny was a ram when playing the N64 game.

dont hate urself bcuz of ur famly, once ull get down from dat tree of urs ull have lots of chance at findin ur very own trainer!
(Seems like an appetizing meal. I'll take you one if it comes with other fun effects.) Simple, I'll just use this JJ Rocket to blast them away at the speed of light. Everyone would save some time if they just surrendered instead of preparing themselves to fight.
Butt no 1 lieks me b/c of mi familee. :< They r allways so quik 2 swarm and chase ppl...
(A dinner date? Just keep feeding the shippers more hints, PB. xD The side effect of stoopid is not worth it, I'm afraid.) By gosh you're right! The perfect plan of attack!

And I had no idea who he was until you mentioned him, period. :p
He seemed very popular due to Grey's Anatomy. Other than that and Enchanted I can't remember any of his other roles off the top of my head.

Not to break your hopes, but I doubt someone would forget something like that so easily. :p
(crush your hopes)
I sadly agree. :(

Depending on your location, either a ceiling or the sky. Maybe both if there's a roof covering one half of your body.
If it was the sky I'd be freezing my ass off. It's the middle of the night. Buuurrrr. :x

No way, I don't want to lose my spot as star of the show. >:O Although if those powers end up taking control of you, I could still stay the hero... Never mind, yes, you most certainly can. :)
It would definitely beat James Cameron's Avatar in term of sales, but I don't know anyone who could fit this role.
It's called co-starring, and you can't handle the pressure of lead all on your own.
Oh my, what a ta-wist~ (I actually do enjoy that trope when written well.) Sweet.
CPiggy because she's a Gigalith in Octy's recent Black playthrough. :D

One of the poorest district of Wallpostopolis. Not everyone can afford the houses near Mt. Wallpostmore. :-(
Is it really the poorest? Would the little mini ones I make in some of the game ones count as districts?
Why would you want to live near it? If for some reason a face were to fall down (eg. yours for being a filthy traitor and breaking away from Cheeseland but no one will ever be able to pin anything on me),you'd want to be a safe distance away to avoid being squashed.

Yet banana milkshakes are so tasty. Culinary arts, I'll never understand you.
(According to the same comments, old pornos had this kind of music. The two don't fit at all, imo.
emoteducate.gif
The two top comments are about that, actually.
Emote totally not stolen from you.)
I don't recall ever having one, so I can't say.
It sounds like it could be porno music to me.
(Just like I totally didn't borrow it from Something Awful Let's Plays. >:/)

As if I'd argue with someone who has such an Iron Head.
Clearly you haven't acquired an Iron Fist over the years to Sawk people to their senses.

I just take the opportunity to learn various trivia about stuff I don't know that will most likely never serve me in my life. :B
That's what a sizable portion of my time on the internet is used for too. xD

Why clean it up? Just play 'pelt-as-much-mud-as-possible-on-KM' or something of the like instead.
I prefer the 'pelt-as-much-mud-as-possible-on-PB/APNZ/Zenax' version of the game, personally.

You're lowering our power level way too much for this example. We'd be the ones chasing after them all the time.
And I have this déjà vu feeling right now because I typed that. u_u
Does this mean...you have discovered the cheat code book for life?! :O
Wonder why that is.

More of a magical joke, in this case. It made a Buneary appear in my hoodie.
Oh, Ho-oh, it's magic~
You knoooow~
Never Bayleef it's not so~


*is not brick'd because you're the one that reference it this time*

The one thing I liked about Gale of Darkness is how you could start with an Eevee and the Pokémon you could get for your team. Hoenn 'Mons are among my favorites, so that was a plus. I guess the gameplay was just too different for me to completely get into the game, compared to the handheld games.
That's because it's beter, much-a better! (That was the best segment on The Amanda Show ever~) After two gens of the main games it was nice to change it up with a different goal to strive for.

Strange, I don't remember seeing her either as a Priest or a Bishop.
I'm still wondering why the name is Priest and not Cleric.
Clearly she's a Cardinal.
cardinalpope.jpg
Growing up Catholic I always heard "Priest", so it doesn't strike me as unusual.


We're not even paid for this, how could I possibly be happy? >:/
Um yes, this is totally a non-profit organization. *pushes stack of money under bed with foot*
emotwhistle.gif


They won't complete a lot of sidequests if all they do is loaf around and dance.
BUTITWILLMAKETHESHIPPERSHAPPYSCHUTYOUDON'TKNOWWHATYOU'RETALKINGABOUT. :V

It's because cakes and cupcakes are vastly superior to pie. ;D
You may have a point there. Cakes more than cupcakes, though.
I'd say it would depend on the actual flavor of the cake/cupcake. Both have their ups and downs.
But cupcakes are superior to cake, because of smaller portion size and because they come with a wrapper to catch all of the crumbs they make.

Can't put myself in your situation, though, since I never do those bandwagons on fb.
Fixed. I have seen you a-bandwagoning on here before.

There are however 39 guests viewing this thread.
Someone said once that the guests were all spambots.
I think when it's that large of an amount most are spiders from search engines or something.

Indeed, time zones have an impending effect on the habitability of threads. For one, the ones living in the far east rarely gets enough limelight whereas the ones living far in the western side of the world enjoy near constant presence of active members- in stark contrast to the pitiful easterners who have to make do with dozens of friends either waking up very early or is an insomniac. There is no solution to this problem, as the circadian cycle must always be kept at a constant, and the fact that BMGF herself have her own circadian rhythm. From morning to noon, the number of members active is usually half of that when nighttime comes. Whereas noontime to afternoon time, the members will dwindle to a third of the usual population. Most often, members can be found wandering at nighttime, which is the time when the forums are bustling and lively, contrary to the lifeless and desolate past midnight. Then after nighttime, where insomniacs dwell the shadowy thronged streets, the population regressed to 1/4 of the population and the cycle starts again at morning.

From 6AM - 12PM: 1/2 population
From 12PM - 6PM: 1/3 population
From 6PM - 12AM: Full population online
From 12AM - 6AM: < 1/4 population

So if you're living on the other side of the world, just reverse this rhythm:

From 6AM to 12PM: Full population
From 12PM to 6PM: 1/4 population
From 6PM to 12AM: 1/3 population
From 12AM to 6AM: 1/2 population

Note: The whole thing is not proven yet. Please point out any anomalies, thank you. The whole thing discounts externalties, so weekends and holidays and forum maintenance are not counted in.
I need to do more research about this. My data is inaccurate.

I need to design some kind of bot that tracks down the current active members at a certain amount of time, then analyze the data and draw a graph about it. Then I can write a proper essay about the effects of time zones in BMGF.
You give Ponytaboi a run for his Nat Geo position. :eek:

I changed it to fit my avatar. (Well, it's getting very cold here, I'm already wearing winter outfits.)
Who is your avy now? Since you changed it between writing this post and my responding to it. xD

Yeah, it's also really cold here, but it's different. 3 days ago, the day was humid and not very cold. Now it's freezing cold, and I had to wear 4 layers the whole day and 5 layers in the nighttime.
...you really need to move out of the arctic, that extreme cold can't be good for you. D:

I just had a shower. I thought you'd all like to know.
Glad to see you didn't get washed down the drain, stabbed by Norman, attacked by spiders, attacked by Freddy...I'm all out of bathroom scenes, but you get the idea. CONGRATS ON SURVIVING IT! :D

Our school's placed a ban on hoodies. Something about good impressions, apparently.
That's...that's horrible. They're wonderful to have in colder weather. D:

What bad impressions come from hoodies? o_O

Well, apparently there are no such rules here... Like half of the students are wearing them... XD
Clearly they are Scrafty haters. >B/

None where I'm at either. xD

You don't live in Britain. If you're a British teenager and you're wearing a hoodie, then there's a 100% CHANCE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO STAB SOMEONE TO DEATH. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE MEDIA SAYS AND THE MEDIA IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
TOTALLY. PLEASE STAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FORUM IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY WEARING A HOODIE, I DUN WANNA BE SHANKED. DDD:

My final exams are next week
Then if I pass,i'll just beautifully spend all of my summer doin' absolutely nothing useful to society
Welcome to the chat thread, Daze! :D And nice plan. xD

Whoa! That's like a really long downtime! I think the servers just gave up for the last few hours or so, huh?
If you posted right when they came back on it looks like it was down for about four and a half hours. That’s…pretty ridiculous. @.@

Ho hum. :/ That's irritating.
QFT.

Just saw HP Deathly Hallows Part 2. So many details got changed from the book. ._.
QFT, Part Deux.

The whole scene with Snape hugging Lily's body was totally unneeded. (and wasn't the whole house destroyed before that?) They should have used the time to add more scenes to the flashback. :/
I thought that was a nice scene in theory, but the way Snape sounded when he was crying and Baby!Harry in the background kinda ruined it for me. It looked like he was going "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY MOM YOU NECROPHILIAC! D':<" Because you know, those words were totally in his vocabulary at that point.

Another thing that was kinda bleh for me was the final scene. I think they should have used older actors.Like they could have used James and Lily's actors (who do not look like they're in their 20s to me :/) to be Harry and Ginny to further reinforce the generation xerox deal and make it a bit more convincing.

But yeah, it sucks so much was changed, even more so for these last two movies because they had two whole movies to tell the story of one book.

Not to say they were travesties, but I thought they could have been handled better. >>

I have only watched the first movie.

On another topic, I think I want to be a plushie now.
Your new theme is very cute, and makes it less likely for me to confuse you with Minnie on a glance. :D
