Yellow and Ruby + Sapphire from Special!

Favourites: Every single new bug-type pokemon Lilligant. Dat quiver dance Throh + Sawk are pretty awesome as well! Least Favorites: Watchog - creepy + annoying with hypnosis Alomomola - forgettable handfishthing Also why so much dislike for Druddigon ;_; - yes, his stats are pretty terrible...

I'm doing a nuzlocke right now on Blaze Black, right about to challenge Burgh. I grinded for a while, thought I was ready, found this playthrough (not doing a blind run anymore after LENORA D: ), and am now scared back to grinding some more. Very good stuff you have here, sir, really enjoying...

There's a problem, though, with a lot of the revisionist history being presented today in that there simply isn't any solid historical evidence present for the new stance (eg. Holocaust denial) and the act of looking back upon history is motivated by political reasons (eg. Japanese...

:DDD I love the chinese feathered dinosaurs (Dilong, Sinosauropteryx, etc.), and their later bird relatives, as well as a lot of the Ornithopods. Mostly, though, I just like reading up on their evolution and unique adaptations, especially their differences from modern reptiles.

That triangle right there, Impo, is pretty much my life. I chose enough sleep, good grades, and, uh, a minimal social life with fellow geeks. ;_; I've always only had a few very close friends, and I've never considered myself to be an especially socially capable person, but I'm fairly smart. I...

I get all of my music off Grooveshark; I have about 2 actual downloaded songs. As for video, VLC works beautifully for just about everything.

I also have to resist a rant here. Being actually Chinese, I have a personal interest in the topic, and this article has been circulating around. Amy Chua, I think, is misguided in her attempt to speak for all Chinese parents. She herself represents a very small sample of the different...

Yay, webcomics! List of the ones I follow: The Meek - meekcomic.com - Fantasy, I guess, ongoing, exciting story so far with great art and great characters, pretty new. Hark! A Vagrant - harkavagrant.com - Comics by Kate Beaton, witty, mostly about history and other fun things that pertain to...

The whole asteroid theory is pretty solid by now. To appreciate its scale, you have to consider the massive destruction that the initial impact caused; it's a gigantic, 10-km across space rock ramming into the earth at 20km/s, causing an immediate incineration of whatever lay below it in the...

Voting for Ryucario. It's the most polished entry here. Though it could be improved in some places, such as tail motion (or lack thereof), the black waving headband, and overall fluency of animation, it trumps the others in terms of attention to detail and aesthetic appeal. (sorry about no...

Something I cooked up the other day. Exploud + Gliscor + Sandshrew.

Try using more varied colours in your digital stuff, rather than just adjusting the value scale and making colours darker. Right now, the colours are a bit unrealistic; they are much too saturated, with no presence of the duller colours that come with shadows. This works in some of the works...

Try drawing some spherical objects from life. The shading on your pokemon pics look unnatural. Also, remember that with shadows, colors don't just keep getting darker. They lose saturation as well. Try blending you colours - the shading you have right now makes the pokemon look plasticky. Your...
