Can they even do that??

People are silly like that?

MTM: Hmm. Well, then I don't know. I'm out of ideas for why they'd do that. =P

Why would someone place a $41 dollar ebay bid when there's a $30 buy it now option? 0_o

Could someone give the Pokemon topic some love?  I kinda need to talk strategy, as Limbo is down (which means no Minecraft for me), Portal 2 is failing me (my test chamber ideas are all failing rather badly), and Eurobricks forum Mafia has stalled because it's the Night phase and no one is talking to me.    Pokemon is all I have for the next few days, it looks like, so...

SWTOR 1.3 is out!

Review??

Flipz: I posted last, so... =P

MTM: I'd use that phrase, but it wouldn't fit me. Otherwise I would, just to be like Hat Guy. =P

Done.   Also, I still need advice on Final Four, a.k.a. what-should-I-train-in-between-Gyms?

I'll give you some advice for the next three gyms in my next post there. =)

I know Emerald rather well, to be honest. It is my favourite Gen 3 game.(No, not just because it's green, shush!)

OK.

My problem is re-integrating all of the information I've forgotten since I last played back into my mind.  Fortunately, Bulbapedia is pretty decent for archive binging.

Yeah, I keep forgetting what's strong against Ghost types. Bad when I have a Pokemon with Fighting moves, Psychic moves, and Dark moves all on the same moveset. =P

In fact, I'd suggest you a Gallade, but you're on Emerald. Which means you're stuck with Gardevoir if anything. =P

[Flipz]

64113

Yeah, and Ditto's a pain to get here, so my wonderful Kirlia doesn't even have that option.

This is like a foreign language to me.. lol

Review??

Hm...
Well, it's not a major update - there's no new content - but it manages to fix most of the fan's complaints.
Server transfers fixed the population issues, the LFG tool makes finding a group infinitely easier AND gives nice prizes, the Augment Slots have created a new economy, the performance tweaks allow me easily 40 FPS in areas where I used to get 20, bugfixes are always good, the adaptive social gear means Medium and Heavy armour players can finally use social gear, and level 50 players get a free 350K credits. Plus, the new event (a scavenger hunt style event, instead of 1.2's combat-focused Rakghoul Pandemic) will probably start soon.
It's not perfect - I'm certainly not happy I got nerfed, there is still lag in certain places, the Consular story is still boring, and the new Legacy perks cost about 40x what they're worthy.

so... if 1.2 was a 7.5/10, this is a solid 9/10.

Better than LU managed in most cases...

You know, flying around on jetpacks those last few days gave me a better idea of how broken LU was.  Ninjago, for example, had entire buildings that would fade in or out depending on where you were in the world.  Good way of making the place look bigger (i.e. using forced perspective)?  Yes.  But LU still had to calculate collisions and the like with all those structures all the time.  There was SO much to the levels that could have been made non-solid to improve performance, it's not funny.  Plus, as I understand it, there was a TON of real-time rendering, which always causes performance issues.

Basically, it was trying to render an Uncharted game (one of the most visually complex and detailed games ever) using the graphics engine from Super Mario 64.  The original Super Mario 64.  That was never going to end well.
