for him.

Yeah, but, you can choose any ol' one. ;__;

I married Frederick on my first run, I think!

Bolin... Eh, I wish I had more to say about him, but I don't. He basically is just comic relief more than a real character. Mako is cool, though. At least he got a good role in season two when he assumed the role of detective. The backstabbing and framing from his old "friends" from the one gang (which one was it: the Triple Threat Triad or the Ag Ni Kis? I can't remember off-hand) setup an excellent side conflict between him and the one businessman (Eh, again, I can't remember his name off-hand. It's been a while since I watched the show. Sorry...).

Lol it really sucks not having an aftermarket radio so you can listen to what you want to instead of the radio. That's why when I got my car the first thing I did was replace the radio. Now that my sisters driving my car I need to buy a new whip. I don't need the radio I got my own music and without the radio I can still manage to find music I've never heard before.

I don't care much for country I completely forgot country even existed haha.. That shows you how often I listen to the radio. I never listen to the radio it's filled with overplayed songs that's good for a minute then turns to garbage the next. Yep I think that sums up modern day's mainstream music lmao.

I'm a fan of Hip-Hop (I'm a rapper myself) but I despise the modern day mainstream Hip-Hop, it's pathetic and the rappers show nothing but ignorance and lack of talent. Sellin their soul to the industry to get rich off a song that has no meaning throwing away true potential. Basically their just rapping over a dope instrumental and that's what's selling so I completely understand why you don't like Hip-Hop. But trust me, there is good Hip-Hop out it's just hard to find.

I like some heavy metal but that's mainly because I got a lot of friends that plays in heavy metal, hardcore, metalcore, etc bands so I don't completely throw this type of music out of the equation.

I'm also not a fan of pop.. Really to be honest I don't like any pop, not even the older pop. Pop is just one of the few genre's I hate, but I gotta admit there are a few good pop songs but the culture as a whole I don't care for it.

That was an interesting plot point. Well, I can see why Aang spent more time seasoning Tenzen as the leader of the air benders, even though Tenzen wasn't so mystically inclined as his daughter Jinora (sp?). Actually, I would've thought Tenzen would have been more of a scholar than a spiritualist because it seemed to me like he preferred studying philosophy than applying it (the same way Jinora does).

Bumi made me laugh so much! He had so much in common with the A:TLA character. Strong-willed, occasionally dimwitted, but always finding some sort of creative solution to problems... I love characters like that!

I think Amon's character was fine, but his backstory was what was truly out of whack. I mean, his father was a blood-bending crime lord. How did that happen? There was only one blood-bender in the entire Avatar series, who was an elderly woman without any children who would've inherited the power and/or learned it from her. The only other person who actually did learn the technique was Katara, who's still alive and birthed Aang's children. I don't exactly recall there being any explanation as to how Amon's father learned the ability (unless there was some hidden clan of water benders who knew it or something and I missed the reference). I also found it a little awkward that the one councilman (I forget his name) turned out to be Amon's brother and a blood-bender too... >.>

I agree: Season One really did suck. Well, up to about halfway through. But, the main point was just working past the prologue of Aang's exploits and establishing the new characters. I was happy that one of my predictions about a potential sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender came true (i.e. the next Avatar's airbending teacher would be Aang's son, the only difference being that I thought he'd be an only child and unmarried). The Equalist movement was rather weak as far as plot points went, but political anarchy is hard to portray without really messing stuff up (social commentaries never translate well into fiction, imo).

Season Two had it's ups and downs, but I did enjoy it. I hadn't been watching a lot of Nickelodeon lately (I actually am into cartoons, but I generally avoid Nickelodeon unless Legend of Korra is on). I'll try and catch tonight's episode.

Believe it or not I'm one of the very few members that doesn't have an opposite taste of music than others. I'm open minded when it comes to music so I don't see how it's humanly possible. There's very few genres I just can't stand.

Wait, that's premiering already? I love that show. Well, I thought the end of Season Two was sort of weak, but the rest of the series has actually been really good.

Fairly good. How are you?

Yes, it is!

Oh, god! That game made me laugh so hard! I even took the extra time to try and unlock all available support dialogue for all characters (sans unwed pairings and unwed children) during my second playthrough. So many hilarious cutscenes!

FEA... Now that WAS a good game! Well, I may just be partial to the older style RPGs, which is why I was a little miffed by Bravely Default. The fixed battle system really killed the demo for me (default, brave, default, brave, on and on! I can't stand RPGs that force you to use a specific strategy the full time you play). I guess it may not be a bad game, but FE-Awakening and EO were definitely better imo. EO also has a skill tree system so you can teach characters what you want or need them to know.

Well, that's the only REAL problem I've had in "recent" history (by recent, I mean the past ten years since the game in question was for the GameCube). The only other thing lately was probably this issue I had after downloading the demo of Bravely Default. I started playing it for a little bit and it suddenly froze on me in the middle of a battle. I restarted it and it worked fine, though. Not that it mattered... I hated it like I've hated all the other Final Fantasy-esque games since FF VII (sorry if you're a fan of FF. I just haven't been a fan of it since the SNES days).

EO games easily have over 100 hours of playtime just in the regular story, more if you try and complete all the side quests. But, that's kind of the point. It's supposed to keep you doing things, even when still focusing on the story itself.

I heard Megaman Zero was supposed to be okay, but I never tried it, so I wouldn't know. Again, I never really got into the series outside of Megaman X.

Heh, that's sad to hear. There was only one game I had the misfortune of faulty software had to be Avatar: The Last Airbender. It sucked because I actually was enjoying the game up until this part where I had to free one of the main characters who got captured by the enemy. Turned out there was a known glitch that sometimes prevents the game from loading past a certain point. If it occurs, the game's pretty much done because it'll just keep occurring. Because of that, I never completed it... :/

EO is intense. It's all in first person too, which adds a lot to the difficulty. The best part, though, has to be these on-field enemies called FOEs. They're basically boss level monsters that either stand in your way, move along fixed paths, and/or chase you if they spot you. It's tons of fun once you're strong enough to beat them with ease.

Heh, I've never been much of a Megaman fan outside of Megaman X. I never beat the original. Sigma was brutal. I have been making a lot of progress in the Megaman Xtreme games since they're basically mixed up remakes of the first two or three (I only played the first one of the original series, so some stuff was kind of new to me when I started playing these).

Zelda isn't a thing for everyone. I understand that perfectly. I love the series, but like all game franchises, there have been some pretty BAD titles. I've never been completely disappointed by a Zelda game, but recent ones have been subpar compared to the old ones. A Link Between Worlds was meh-ish (I enjoyed the fact that it had a story, but they lowered the difficulty way too much from its predecessors). Phantom Hourglass (and, by extension, Spirit Tracks) really suffered from terrible gameplay (making it so you could only use the touch screen to do anything really killed them for me). I could go on, but I'd easily "fanboy" all over things. :P

Nope, haven't played another since I put my GBA away! :P

Yes, actually. Well, mostly Nintendo games. I've been downloading some older GBC titles for my 3DS's Virtual Console lately, and I'm shocked how many titles I missed. I actually had a GBC, but I only used it for Gameboy games. I've discovered a lot old gems like the Zelda: Oracle games (which I actually got last summer) and a few MegaMan X side-titles I didn't even know about (collectively, they're known as Megaman Xtreme).

Alternatively, I did come across an interesting RPG series last year for the DS/3DS that I had no idea even existed. It's called Etrian Odyssey. I only tried the demo of EO IV: Legends of the Titan on a whim, and was totally addicted right away. The main premise is that you are a wandering explorer who came to town seeking to find out the secrets of the holy tree known as Yggdrasil (named after ancient tree in Norse mythology). In the games collectively, Yggdrasil was supposed to be an attempt to save the world in a time where technology, war, and pollution got out of hand (i.e. just after the modern age). In the centuries after, the world became more primal and humans regressed to a feudal society (some technology still exists, but it's a far cry from what it was). The gameplay itself is mostly dungeon crawling mixed with old RPG aspects. Also, the games are intentional hard to put for a challenge to serious players (EO IV and EO Untold allow you to change difficulties, but I didn't because I actually want to play them through on Normal difficulty, which is actually Hard).

Usually, Delphox or Noivern. If I'm feeling gutsy, Zoroark! :P Zoroark is actually great for playing mind games with people. They always assume it's going to be your first Pokémon, and that's a great thing to prey upon. Team preview doesn't diminish Illusion at all, if you know how to utilize it. Sometimes I will bait people by sending Zoroark out first and then keeping a Pokémon that is weak against specific Pokémon's attack in my party's last slot. It's great for weeding out Mega Gengar or Mega Alakazam before they have a chance to actually attack. Zoroark (well, my Zoroark) is fast enough to out-Speed almost any other Pokémon, even without a Speed-enhancing nature (mine has Modest as opposed to say Timid, which my Delphox has).

Yep, that's why I included it and Aegislash in my team. I know Aegis is more attack-oriented, but I bred/raised my mine for Defense/Sp. Defense like Lapras. The main idea is that even if I don't use King's Shield to prevent damage one turn, it can still take a hit while I prepare to attack by using Swords Dance.

I actually have a balanced team with two walls (Lapras and Aegislash), two straight attackers (Zoroark and Mienshao), and two item swappers (Noivern and Delphox). All of my Pokémon can double as attackers, but I've found that I can really devastate teams with misdirection and intentional traps. If I can pull things off right, I can make it through an entire battle without so much as losing two Pokémon.
