    Melding, what is your opinion on Angry Dragonite?

    As evidenced here.

    http://www.serebii.net/card/furiousfists/074.shtml

    why is dragonite a basic doing a grass grass electric move?

    It's an EX card, which is a thing first introduced in the TCG around the Gen 3 games, and was then revived a few years ago, although initially it was solely for legendaries. Generally they could benefit from some rule changes to make them fairer, it doesn't help that the early EX cards were stupid-powerful (although there are non-EX cards designed to take them down). But I'm just in it for the collection aspect so it doesn't weigh on my mind.

    As for the energy cost, Dragon types were only introduced a couple of years ago, and in an effort to make them different/encourage dual element decks, they have dual energy costs. Although one of the latest sets introduced a Double Dragon energy that counts as 2 universal energy if they are attached to a Dragon.

    Do I have tetanus now, or am I OK?

    I'm afraid we're going to have to amputate. There's no time for anaesthetic, bite on to this leather covered stick and think pleasant thoughts.

    Or more seriously, you're probably fine, tetanus shots lost a real long time and is deceptively difficult to get.

    I shall bite on a leather covered stick and think pleasant thoughts as you direct, just to be sure, but mostly because I was already planning to do so anyway, Thanks Melding!

    i didn't understand most of this, but i don't liek the art very much, but i am not apposed to the idea of an angry dragonite.

    I didn't like the EX art much at first, although it's grown on me, especially the full-art stuff. It's worth nothing that even the run-of-the-mill common cards often have good and great art. Especially the end of the Black & White series, Legendary Treasures.

    i'm fine with full card art, i just meant the weird 3d dragonite on that specif card. something about it just doesn't do it for me.

    That's like asking what kind of women do men like. Some want a little sports car, some want a family sedan, and some men just want to fuck a minivan and then cry about it later.

    I imagine dragon/car relations follow the same idea.

    Melding this is 100% truth.

    I once had a dream that I was lost in an airport. I was really anxious and scared because airports are scary places. In the dream, I ran into you and you helped me get to where I needed to be.

    My question is; do you always use your dream powers for good or also for evil?

    Almost exclusively for good. Dreams are confusing enough. I once got lost in my house in a dream. It's not a very big place, but for some reason the doors never lead outside. Well, that's not entirely true, one door lead to outer space, but still. So, being able to help people get around in their dreams is a priority. To my knowledge i've also helped over throw a dragon, find someone's parents, and fixed a failing relationship.

    All in a day's work.

    i actually like them quite a bit, though i am real tired of english elves and scottish dwarves. trying to remember what had german dwarves but i remember liking it quite a bit.

    I honestly can't think of anything that isn't just "alright but what if this time elves were the mechanically advanced race and dwarves lived in trees" that people like to do to sound like they've come up with a new idea.
    i've beek kicking around an idea for a sorta fantasy setting where humans are actual aliens crash landed soem time ago and elves are somewhere in the dark ages tech wise, but that's not really a change up either.

    So best off the cuff idea i for is what if elves were the new young race, dwarves were the paragons of natural balance and humans are grudge holding isolationists?

    Dear Melding,

    There's a thing I should do now, but I might maybe do it later, but if I don't do it now, I may probably `forget' to do it until after I put on my pyjamas, and once that has happened I won't be doing the thing.

    Should I do the thing now or later?

    i don't know what it is, but you should probably do it before forgetting.

    I don't know, they added too many and i never got any of them, though i do remember liking the paladin a lot. though i ended up playing krogaurd the most simply out of convenience.
    Melding,

    What was a bigger factor in the failure of Operation Barbarossa: Hitler's strategic indecision, or the Wehrmacht's undervaluing of logistics planning?

    I was it was the fact they failed to include the cursed coins into their calculations, so they were just overwhelmed by the undead pirates.

    Melding I recently bought a cloak of invisibility. The good kind that relies on dimensional transference rather than optical redirection because I have a problem with people with infravision being able to spot me. The only problem is that any time I wear it I start seeing unspeakable horrors. Should I be worried?

    It's all subjective though. Theres a community of people where they couple by people who own penises with people who own vaginas. Then they turn out the lights and the penis owner rubs themself on or in the vagina owner until they ejaculate. Once they're done they go to sleep and never talk to anyone about this except for new initiates into the community which they expect to follow the proper procedures correctly regardless. I think this is the weirdest fetish but for some reason every one else thinks this is perfectly normal.

    What is the logic behind the weaknesses of the more esoteric pokemon e.g dragon, dark, fairy.

    For example: fire is weak to water because water douses fires. Why is dragon weak to ice?
