    Pokémon Dragapult

    Ran with the modest choice specs one during the galar beginnings run and next to Gyarados, it sometimes singlehandly won matches for me (I found teams often expected a physical variant).

    Online Competition Galar Beginnings

    Ran into a lot of those Lapras! Setting up the G-Max Resonance and then sweeping when I hit it with a weakness. Just oof. Curious - what was your set for Grimmsnarl? I ran one with Prankster Taunt/Thunder Wave/Darkest L/Thunder Punch. It was alright for me but with the plethora of...

    New New Name and Profile Change Requests [READ THE OP]

    Hi there! I'd liked to have my name changed to SynysterCola. It's the name I've been using on PS!/other internet things and honestly, I've moved on from my own handle (a relic of the old Smogon days/my life). aight - tdp

    How has Smogon affected you?

    I joined Smogon back on '05 (good grief I was still in high school!). Looking at me back then, it reminds me just how immature I was when I was younger. That's not to say that now I'm some snobbish mature adult :P But Smogon taught me that when you fail, you just dust yourself off and keep...

    Serious Jobs and the consequences thereof

    My current job as a system administrator has taught me one thing - perception matters. While everyone on my team knows me and my quirks and can vouch for me, all it takes is some stranger to go mention to your manager that you look like some lost intern and suddenly your every action is...

    Internet's latest victim(?): 11 year old drama queen

    That's why I titled the topic as such. She shouldn't have received death threats..but what she was doing before wasn't exactly righteous either. On a side note, I hear she might be on Good Morning America tomorrow. Maybe it's just a rumor...

    A Little Piece of Heaven - Avenged Sevenfold An experimental song. Bits of Broadway tunes mixed with hard rock to form a rather dark, but entertaining song to listen to. This song really brings out the late Rev's songwriting abilities.

    Internet's latest victim(?): 11 year old drama queen

    That is where I stand. She deserved anything her classmates said, but 4chan going after an 11 year old, no matter how much of a drama queen she is, is a bit low (if such a low even exists...) What about not allowing kids to not have a computer in their room? I know when I was younger, the main...

    Internet's latest victim(?): 11 year old drama queen

    For those who haven't heard... Tween YouTube Rant Videos: a Cautionary Tale for Online Engagement Basically, a girl known as "Jessie Slaughter" was posting Youtube videos of herself bad-mouthing her classmates. Unfortunately, this got the attention of the (in)famous board 4chan. The end...

    Midnight snack. :(

    As a college student, I end up eating "dinner" between 11PM-3AM. It's a bad habit really. Chinese food, chicken wings, ice cream, hoagies, etc. Again, REALLY bad habit.

    Muse - Hoodoo A nice electric guitar intro, followed by some quiet singing. Calm and slow...until the piano takes over and the song picks up in intensity (Bellamy screaming " Come to be! How did it come to be?"). A slow finish to an under-appreciated song about troubled relationships.

    Anyone else ever feel like a complete failure at life

    For the longest of time, I use to blame myself for anything that went wrong around me. This was in part due to parents always fighting and in part because I was the kid everyone would pick on back in grade school. I could never think of anything I was proud of. But then back in 2009, I took a...

    What are you learning?

    I always browse Wikipedia, reading articles that I find interesting. When I was younger, my school did not have astronomy classes, so I self-taught myself a lot of things. RIGHT NOW though, I am taking some time to teach myself game development. Starting from simple 2-D stuff and moving on.

    Legalization of Cannabis

    This. I would not have a problem with it legalized. Handful of my friends already do it, and I don't see them doing unresponsive things. The whole "war on drugs" has been drawn out and needs to end.

    What is your current job?

    Wow it's been a while since I've visited this site (but I digress) Anyway my current job is a web developer for a transportation technology lab on campus. Technically I am classified as a "student researcher" but I do lots of development. The app I work on is basically a huge data...

    The Most World Renowned Smogoner?

    I was actually on the news today for a few seconds. The lab I work at got some attention because our software was useful in monitoring traffic and such after the terrible Metro accident (my prayers go to the families affected by this tragedy) http://cfc.news8.net/videoondemand.cfm?id=43142

    np: Stage 3 - Family Reunion ("This Is Why I Created" Remix)

    So far with using my Sandstorm + Skymin team (unusual combo but I'm trying out lots of things!), I've ran into Latios. I've also seen it as the starter Pokemon! I've quite fearful since it's movepool is varied. However, it still is a bit fragile and Tyranitar remains to be a good counter...

    new 2009 albums

    Make that two people lol. I've been re-listening to a lot of their old stuff. I'm finishing up "Awake". I also have enjoyed Lamb of God's new album as well. I'll have to post back when I listen to Muse's new album set to come out in September.
