  1. New and 'creative' moveset/EV spread thread Mk. 5

    What do people think of this OU anti-lead spread? Spiritomb @ Spell Tag Quiet 208 HP / 184 Atk / 116 SpD - Shadow Ball - Will-o-Wisp/Hypnosis - Sucker Punch - Pursuit EVs and nature taken from the UU anti-lead set and could probably be improved. Sadly this is my first attempt at a spread so...
  2. Anyone else ever feel like a complete failure at life

    If it's any consolation. mtr, it's probably for the best. You should pursue whatever career you want too follow. Plus, a doctor who isn't really interested in his work is potentially hazardous. ;) Normally I would tell you to fuck what your parents think, as they don't know what's best...
  3. What do you look for in a partner?

    I should probably start by saying I'm a gay man so don't get the wrong idea about which gender I'm talking about :) I'm not very picky about looks. Mainly this is because I'm attracted to a lot of different body types. Obesity is a problem, but only in the same sense that smoking or heavy...
  4. Video of SWAT Raid on Missouri Family

    And therein lies the problem. The dog's death, while entirely avoidable with the benefit of hindsight, was also entirely within SWAT protocol. The problem is that the SWAT team was called in the first place. It was totally inappropriate and went against everybody's best interests. The...
  5. Video of SWAT Raid on Missouri Family

    The fact that the dog died is just a side effect of the bigger issue. A SWAT team was sent into a totally inappropriate situation for a SWAT team to be in. It's true that someone in the family broke the law, but they didn't commit the crime that the police suspected them of. What this means is...
  6. UK General Election 2010

    I thought there was a serious potential for a Lib Dem win in our constituency for the first time in decades. Last election it was very close between the Lib Dems and the Conservatives, while Labour trailed with a dismal 5% of the vote. However, this time the Conservatives ended up stronger than...
  7. Asperger's Syndrome

    I have a coworker with Asperger syndrome. He's a nice guy, but he he struggles to relate to people and is sometimes oblivious when he gets on other peoples' nerves (which happens fairly often as he's quite loud and very talkative). He's also a chronic worrier and has a host of phobias. I must...
  8. UK General Election 2010

    Don't apply to Oxbridge just because you get 3 As. My friend did and got an offer, but turned it down as he hated the atmosphere and a lot of the bullshit the university made him go through. Oxbridge is quite clearly the right place for a lot of people, but make sure it's the right place for...
  9. Nuzlocke Challenge

    Just a quick post to say the the Adventures of RAD are on hold until my sister gets her computer fixed. To give you an idea of how much episode 2 will cover, I've beaten Brock and gained 3 party members, but also lost one. The suspense
  10. Nuzlocke Challenge

    Episode 1 Pokemon FireRed Nuzlocke Challenge! This is my first attempt at a Nuzlocke challenge. I chose FireRed because it's the remake of the first game I owned and the one I know best and the only ROM I had lying around piracy is bad. I can't stand grinding, so don't expect me to reach the...
  11. Shoddy on Mac

    Yeah I took Whispered's advice and it worked. The second box specifically.
  12. New Tobacco act passed

    Well that's dandy but it's just part of the addictive cycle. It's not really a very solid argument against the government's attempts to prevent their population from having its health exploited by tobacco corporations.
  13. New Tobacco act passed

    I do find it a little amusing when people try to defend smoking. It's one of the most addictive drugs out there, it's expensive (once you're addicted, the cigarette companies pretty much have you by the balls), and it's one of the leading killers in the world today. Not to mention the clouds of...
  14. What people are allowed to say

    It was a bit of a dick move by the teacher but as long as nobody got offended it's all good I guess.
  15. Shoddy on Mac

    I just updated Java and now I'm having this problem as well. The team builder is also bugged; the "item" field is almost completely hidden, although it's technically clickable as you can see a couple of rows of pixels where it ought to be.
  16. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 9

    Does baton pass carry over perish count? I.E. can I baton pass out of perish song without killing the recipient?
  17. One question I have been dying to figure out...

    I'm not an expert on the uber metagame but I would suppose it's the combination of good defensive typing (we all know how popular bulky waters are) combined with the sweeping potential of Tail Glow that outweighs the hindrance of his limited offensive movepool. Hydration is no Natural Cure but...
  18. The Most Threatening Pokemon in DP (OU)

    I voted Gengar. His physical attacks may not be up to much, but the dragons have that x4 ice weakness which means they can at least be revenge killed easily, whereas Gengar has not only frightening sweeping potential but also that support movepool. Overrall, I just find Gengar harder to predict...
  19. The Best Coverage

    Heatran has some pretty good coverage with Earth Power, Flamethrower, Solarbeam, Hidden Power [Ice/Dark/Ghost] - hits 13 types for SE. The question is Dark/Ghost or Dragon/Flying coverage (I would go for ice personally due to the abundance of dragon/flying types who resist all the other moves)...
  20. Discussion: Choice Specs Infernape, Nasty Plot isn't always better

    It's more of a possiblity than it *not* happening. Besides, it's not like carrying a physical move to handle Blissey is anything new for special sweepers. I'm nitpicking really. Infernape is one of my favourite pokemon of the new generation but he's so predictable and in so many teams that...
