The 3DS is the only 'current gen' console I own, for which I have 4 games at this point. Last gen consoles I still own are the PS3, Xbox360 and the Wii. Ended up owning all 3 for different reasons. PS3 for the exclusives, Xbox360 for the multiplayer games and the Wii for Mario Kart. Still have...

This doesn't surprise me. There is no way either side would deliberately shoot down a civilian aircraft, it would do nothing but harm their cause as it would turn so many nations against them. This scenario is tragic, but you can see how it happened. Wow... that is devastating. What are the...

So far I've managed to avoid any major injury, but my most memorable injury was when I was 8. Long story short I was hit in the face by a wooden crate. The corner of it caught my face just above my eye giving me a reasonable scar through my eyebrow which I still have 12 years on. A few cm lower...

Just to clarify, when you guys say 'ice age' what do you have in mind? People often seem to mix up 'ice age' and 'glacial period'. A glacial is a period of time within an ice age where you have cold temperatures and glacier advances. The last of these ended ~11,000 years ago and is what a lot...

I've said it before in the Electric Rodents fanclub, but Emolga is my absolute favourite. I think the fact he was a semi-major character in the new mystery dungeon game helped raise him to the top of my list; he's just such an adorable awesome character.

Username: Absolus Partner: Emolga! Question: Do you guys have any favorite fanart of electric rodents? This one is based off Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. My love of Emolga stemmed from the Mystery Dungeon games. Even though I think Gates of Infinity is the weakest in the series in...

Leaf Green Yellow Mono-Colour run - Update 1 It begins! Log > Started with an unwanted Squirtle. Quickly progressed up to Viridian forest and caught a Weedle (nickname Hanzo). Deposited Squirtle to the eternal prison of the PC. > Quickly evolved Weedle to the desired Beedrill, grinded for a...

To anyone who is a fan of JRPGs or just games with a good storyline I strongly recommend the Golden Sun games; primarily the two on the GBA. They have excellent characters, battle mechanics, soundtracks, plots and graphics which I think have aged really well (considering the first game is 12...

Username: Absolus Colour: Yellow Game: Leaf Green Ultimate: No Just to check, because I can get Kakuna, Beedrill and Pikachu before the first gym I won't be able to use my starter for that gym? I presume it is the case that as soon as I can get a Pokemon of my colour I must stop using my starter?

Team Fortress 2 tops my Steam games list with 976 hours played over the years. I know World of Warcraft and Runescape top it though. Haven't played either in a long time but last I checked it was about 42 days for Runescape (1008hours) 35 days (840 hours) for just my main character on Wow.

Name: Absolus Two Johto Partner Pokemon: and Answer a topic!: What was the first Johto game you played? Pokemon Silver. It was the first Pokemon game I ever played, so it holds a lot of nostalgic memories for me. It's the reason I got into Pokemon in the first place!

Asides from the obvious moments like Grovyle's sacrifice and your character fading, a standout for me was the very end of the 'Into the Dark Future' episode in Explorers of Sky. I won't spoil it for those who haven't played it, but it was another moment that really stuck with me.
