    Wired Smogon Namedrop

    Hey guys, long time no see I was reading through Wired and I came across a review of the new pokemon games. Silly me, I didn't even know there were new pokemon games! Anyways, most of the way through the review/article there's a bit of a nice little Smogon name drop. It's been a long time...

    Tell me more! I'm assuming 6.33 was a typo.

    I've only had a chance to play maybe once a week since I got to Baltimore. Anybody looked through the changelog yet?

    How do you people manage to move out, and be on your own?

    I agree with everything monk there says. When I traveled alone to China, when I first got there I was a little bit out of sorts. I had no job, I had no friends, I had no place to stay. For the first couple of days I kept myself busy by job and apartment hunting. But by the end of the first...

    Ah, romance.

    Teenage Drivers

    They are actually awful statistics that don't even do a good job of making the point you're trying to make. With your statistics, the majority of reckless drivers are not teenagers. 10% of them are. Furthermore, if 20% of the driving population is reckless, and 10% of that are teenagers, we can...

    Teenage Drivers

    I am a RECKLESS TEEN DRIVER. I speed by a small amount frequently and an obscenely large amount occasionally. I've driven high, driven so tired I fell asleep slightly at the wheel, and driven after some drinks. I've hit 121 mph at 2 in the morning on a winding back road. I hit a deer once...

    Nah I got a real cd-key. I've always found that the skill lvl on Euro HLR1 was a lot better than that of TDA. It does take a while to get there, but it always made sense for me. I joined Garena back before all the hosting solutions for BNet had been developed (even before LC), so the fact of the...

    xD Add me! Garena RandomSeed / Snow.Leopard / NNEM (right now the former mostly) I've only been pubbing since I left my beijing lan clan, but if you have a group you play with I'm sure I could shake some rust off.

    I will not let this thread die. I refuse. Anyways, I played jugg for probably the first time in a month today, and I remembered this thread and the earlier conversation we had had about items. I wasn't playing with anybody I knew or in any sort of competitive match (which I think is generally...

    Moving out and living on your own

    I'm going to answer only to the one thing I have experience with. Moving out was the most exhilarating and liberating thing I have ever done with myself. As long as you're mildly intelligent about living within your means, no, it's not particularly tough. There will be things you'll have to do...

    Arming of Police.

    Well, perhaps I could give you an example. -My neighbors on either side have shotguns and hunting rifles -The local corn harvesting tractor has at least a shotgun (all I've seen) -Some amount of my friends have shotguns and hunting rifles (and bows, actually). I know these people mostly...

    Arming of Police.

    In the US guns (legal or illegal) are extremely easy to buy. Not only are there your hunting rifles and your handguns, but fully automatic assault rifles aren't particularly hard to get your hands on either. I say this as I was legitimately offered an AK-47 a week ago, without having given any...

    Poll: What do you value the most?

    My survival does not come before those who depend on me. Nor does my happiness.

    But it IS broke. 1.23a and earlier all have hash problems. People were able to make small but extremely significant changes to the map and come up with the same hash, allowing the instakill impales and imba damage illusory orbs. And now it comes out that 1.23b and earlier can have code embedded...

    I'm wondering if anybody patched. From what I understand, 61b was completely non-functional with the new patch, and 61c still has some issues. On GGC everybody appears to still be completely 1.23 and .61b. I guess this is a good time for all you people who play on battle.net to unpatch (which...
