Can you hook me up with a production internship
I had a hard enough time getting my own internship I think you may want to look elsewhere for connections.
What is your favorite pokemon?
What is your least favorite pokemon?
Favorite Pokemon to this day is still Rayquaza. At heart I'm still a kid that loves big and scary and powerful looking dragons and I feel like they've yet to top themselves in that regard.
As far as least favorite Pokemon, I'd probably have to say Tentacool. I remember playing the games as a kid (specifically Ruby) and when I was surfing around I would ALWAYS run into the thing. I'm too stubborn to waste money on Repels so yeah. Tentacruel is fine though.
Yo phoopes I asked you this in the social forum mod chat but can you only nominate one person for the well each time, or multiple?
I think most people only nominate one but you can nominate multiple if you so choose.
Did you enjoy getting your math major?
Enough to get a math tattoo but not enough to do anything in life with it lmao.
...to expand, I have the symbol for complex numbers tattooed on my left shoulder blade. I thought there was cool symbolism in it, bringing together both real numbers and imaginary numbers and I kind of thought of that as a good representative for life as a whole too. Like considering both the real and the imaginary, the tangible and the non-tangible. It's kind of funny now that I'm not doing anything with math but hey life happens and I'm taking a different path now.
Are you secretly collaborating with Jon Bois for 20020
Dude I wish, I love Jon Bois and all of his content. I actually applied to a fellowship for SBNation when I was doing my current job/internship searching but I didn't get it.
What kind of work do you do in your sportswriter job
It's pretty simple! I watch sports, email my boss a topic that I'd like to write about, he approves it. After that I go to a few handy sources for research purposes and then I write ~1000 words on the topic. So far I've only written about the NBA but with the season coming to a close soon I might expand into NFL as well. There's a lot of freedom which is what I like most about it.
MFK - Gritty, the Phillie Phanatic, Charles Barkley
Compared to the initial gameplan of Smogoff, has anything surprised you wrt the direction of the forum?
Favorite non-Pokemon video games?
Marry Gritty, phuck the phanatic, kill Chuck. I don't even like hockey that much but I would die for Gritty. Have you seen the Phanatic's tongue thing? He'd be a good time. Kill Sir Charles because he's the only one left.
Honestly, not really. There are a few threads that I thought had potential that ended up going nowhere but that's the way things go sometimes. I have liked that there's a good mix of newer users and oldheads which is something that I was really looking for.
Gotta say I was absolutely blown away by Dragon Quest XI for Switch, that's become my favorite game of all time after all the hours I've sunk into it. Favorite series that I've gotten into within the past couple of years is Fire Emblem, I've found I really like those kinds of games (I just picked up XCOM too and it's great) but Fire Emblem is probably the favorite series. Gotta give Smash Brothers some love as well, I really closely followed the competitive scene for awhile. Now less so, but I still play with friends a good amount. For nostalgia purposes I'll throw in the original Sly Cooper trio as well as my favorite series from when I was a kid.
what are your favorite and least favorite words that rhyme with phoopes, and why?
Favorite: oops for the sole purpose of "phoopes I did it again"
Least favorite: poops. it's a joke that I'm a little tired of. Of course by me saying that I expect to hear it more now.
fmk: firebot, smogoff, a forum
favourite smogoff thread so far?
who do you sportswrite for?
Fuck Firebot, marry Smogoff, kill a forum. You had to have known this answer was coming.
Favorite thread so far is probably the
under construction one. It's the kind of silly that's made me laugh out loud a good amount. Favorite individual post so far in Smogoff was the
OP in ranking fire starters by how well they could operate a forklift
I plead the fifth on who I write for, not trying to give away my real life identify so easily. Basically it's a fairly small American website that covers sports, gaming, music, and movies mostly. I'll leave it at that.
Give us your retrospective: How did your 2nd place finish in
4 8 12 16 affect the way you view the world?
Any favorite RBY players? I've heard Italians are really good at that gen.
Why did you choose a math major initially?
Wittiest thing you've ever said?
One sport has to get permanently cancelled, which one: NBA, NFL, MLB
Hahahaha this is my favorite question so far. I'd say it taught me that life is about the journey, not the destination. There was a lot of planning that went into 4 8 12 16 and between the suggestions I got on the forums and the banter between my friends in real life, that was probably a lot more fun than the end result (which resulted in me feeling like absolute garbage because I treated myself like absolute garbage lol).
I'd probably say
EB0LA as my fav RBY player because he runs the lower tiers Discord and I've gotten very into RBY lower tiers recently. Don't know if he's Italian though. Gotta give a shoutout to
Hipmonlee too though because his
RBY Battling Guide is what got me into RBY in the first place.
I chose a math major because I was originally a math education major that decided teaching wasn't for me once I actually got in the classroom every day. So after that math was just the degree that I was closest to earning so that's why I did that. I've had trouble figuring out what I want to do in life lol.
My kinda sorta ex-girlfriend has a tattoo of a peony on her hip. One time she was using peony-scented body wash and I asked her if she was trying to make her tattoo scratch and sniff. idk if that's the wittiest thing I've ever said but it's my favorite
Considering I write about the NBA and will probably write about the NFL when the season is over, definitely the MLB. It was my favorite sport as a kid but I've just lost interest over time.
How'd you come up with your username?
I actually didn't, my mom did if you can believe that.
how many smogon usernames have you had so far?
phoopes -> jynx -> djanxo unchained -> phat mewtwo -> phoopes
So four total. The first two name changes were from spending 1,000 likes in v's like shop as a way to troll
Cresselia~~ and the name change to phat mewtwo was in a bet your avatar thread that I ended up betting my username as well. I changed back to phoopes not that long ago because I had realized that I spent more time on this website as not phoopes than I had as phoopes and I wanted to rectify that lol
Depends on the ghost
