Did some more cleanup in Crystal last night. Ho-Oh is caught (in a Dive Ball because swag and literally it was the only Kurt ball I had and I was too lazy to trek all the way down the tower again to get out and wait for more... Dive Ball seems memeish enough in Ho-Oh's case tho. Took a few resets to have it actually work). Finally got my male Scyther so now I'm raising my Paras with False Swipe to be a pokemon catcher Starting to try and clean up some of the missing dex entries but it's really hard to catch anything with my current team since literally every move one-shots these "never go above level 20" wild pokemon. So this Paras (/Parasect eventually) will be useful. My current strategy has been to open up Serebii and go down each Kanto route in order to see if they have anything I don't have The stupid time of day stuff does make it annoying tho (literally nothing but the same exact Pokemon comes out at night and the only time I can play is at night... I don't wanna change the clock *again*... *sigh*)
Yeah like I said I'm pretty sure I'm just aging out of the comedy value of doing stuff like that. Although I didn't really like the gross humor of the 90's either so that's on me.
I was all set to watch the new 10MPH on my lunch break and 2 minutes into it I was like "nahhh I'm good". I also get repulsed by people belching into mics. They've been better about this the past years but it felt like almost every video I had to mute because they'd open by belch talking lol
That ability to pause the ball anywhere… like it’s broken in the worst way.
The game definitely had no QA about it lol. I'm guessing the A wasn't supposed to stop the ball anywhere and it ended the turn or something early and instead of letting the ball continue it just froze it wherever it was.
I like how Arin shows up in one of Ross's dreams and he's totally chill like he's his dream guide or something.

Shoocharu did a thing that's basically "best of my crazy Arin faces." It's about a minute long and also it's an ad for some new merch he made, featuring said faces. I'm not linking it here because as it includes some of his older stuff there is some depictions of things that probably count as NSFW.

Managed to catch all the Unown in Crystal last night (was surprisingly fast.. I caught everything I needed really quickly except for M which the game then proceeded to taunt me by giving me a bunch of Ws and Es and I'm like, can't I just flip them over?). Slowly working that dex up. Wonder if I should focus on training for Red or keep cleaning up the stuff I'm missing (not that I can complete the Dex without trading but I'd like to at least catch what I can). Don't know why I spent like 30 mins looking for Crystal's only Yanma spawn at 1% but I did it and I caught it :P Edit: Also debating if I should dump Hypnosis on Poliwrath for Ice Punch now that I have a Parasect for catching things. Hypnosis is a useful move but it'd also be nice to get through Lance faster when money farming the E4 (I'm assuming Poliwrath can learn Ice Punch here... I would be shocked if he couldn't)
Also broke down and ordered Ultra Moon :P It should be coming today. Kind of actually super excited to go back to gen 7 (my favorite gen). Meanwhile Shining Pearl still sits there unfinished.. haha.. I do need to finish that up so I can send it back to Gamefly, though at this point I figure I'm gonna just pay for an extra month beyond my free trial so I don't have to rush it and also so I can get Darkrai (seriously, my trial ends April 1st, the day Darkrai releases.. that's dumb timing :P) But the stuff on 3DS is easier since I can play that while I watch youtube/stream (which I could do with Switch but that's such a pain.. if I can play on the TV I'd rather play on the TV). I do really need to devote some time to Pearl tho, I'm at the last gym... (I seriously think the frustrating design of the berry planting/shaking trees is sort of keeping me from wanting to go back in but I can also just ignore that garbage, especially the trees which is all duplicate crap now anyways)
Edit: BLEH... arrived over lunch and they sent me the fucking "World Version" of Ultra Moon. I specifically paid an extra $10 to get the normal US version because I don't trust a version that lists a bunch of middle eastern countries like Saudia Arabia on the cover to either work with my 3DS's region lock and/or not being weirdly different in some way. It's *probably* fine but I'm returning this, it isn't what I ordered...

Somehow I'm actually managing to fill up almost all of my boxes in Crystal. I booted up the Poke Transporter to move some crap off to bank. Wow, what a pain in the ass. It only moves Box 1 which means I gotta go into gen 2's shitty UI interface and manually copy each pokemon one-by-one over to box 1 :P I got all my Unowns and legendaries moved over now at least. Gonna be a pain when it's time to move everything.
Come on now, when have the grumps ever played a game because its popular for the views, and then immediately dropped it after a handful of episodes? Cough subnautica. Cough Zomboid.

Once again, Gonzaga just lollygagging around in the first half. Gonna be a laugh if Arkansas can hold them off after what their last game looked like
I think BloodySloth means we want to see him kill the boss. Not that he's moving on from Elden Ring. He fought Margitt like 3 times and then nopes out back to Caelid (which is a horrible idea).
I know I watched all of Bloodborne and posted about how baffling it was to watch someone go through the entire game while engaging with absolutely none of the story and none of the mechanics. Usually people either want to explore the setting but don't dig the gameplay, or skip the story but get deep into combat and build strategies. It was both impressive and frustrating that he was able to just brute force everything with one weapon all game.
Apparently I made it halfway through DS3, maybe I'll check that out again and see where/why I stopped...
Apparently I stopped at the DLC, because I hadn't played it yet. The character seems to be named Macaronigrille, although they did have a five minute bit about confusing it with their Bloodborne character.
But yes, the playing was bad. Although it was after a long break I guess. Maybe he improves a bit later, but I'm not sure I'm able to handle this style of video anymore.

Watching him play DS3 was infuriating because he was kind of terrible at everything, leveled up like an idiot, and still finished it.
Watching a person get mad trying to beat a hard game over and over hasn’t been funny since the kaizo trend like 15 years ago, so Elden Ring would be an awful long-term series, especially since it’s a Souls game AND open world which sounds like a nightmare Grumps series.

i've never noticed when people play games bad on LPs or streams because the game is the least relevant thing possible in the show, it's the personalities.

"Grip 'em up, grip 'em, grip 'em good, said the Gryphon... to the pig."
It was all over for me and the Grumps when I saw someone LP a game, doing nearly a speedrun, while still being hilarious. Like I hadn't realized that being good at the game while making jokes was an option until then.
But yeah, stuff like DDLC or the Trauma games is where they really shine, and I still poke in to see their reactions to games I enjoy, like Dark Souls.

Yeah I honestly don't mind if they went the route of fighting the boss and making jokes for an episode and then between episodes they beat the boss or whatever they were stuck on. I know they have done that several times and it doesn't bother me at all. There was that boss in DS3 that shit the rain if arrows that killed Arin in one hit that they fought for like 3 episodes. It was fun to hear them react each time to it lol.

Bracket officially busted with Gonzaga and Arizona going down. Only have Purdue to root for and maybe Kansas winning it all so Mrs. Bum can win in her pool.
I don't have very much space left on my 3DS so I didn't really want digital.
Ended up finding a listing on ebay for a new copy for the same price as Amazon. Even messaged the seller and he confirmed it was the US version so I just ordered that
As a side note, I think I've now caught almost everything there is to catch in Crystal? I still need Mr. Mime (10% my ass Serebii... I think you added an extra zero in there...) and I need to remember to actually get the damn Lapras that spawns on Fridays tonight. Other than that I think the only thing left are evos which I'm iffy on if I wanna bother. There's also Red I still gotta do. Maybe I should just try him and see how it goes. Everyone's ~52-55 at the moment.
I'd guess a new sd card would be cheaper than a pokemon game
I mean, it's the 3DS, so why? :P There's no point in getting a bigger one for essentially a dead system :P (also I'm not sure I can go bigger.. I forget what size I have in there but I may have bought the max supported size at the time). Besides, I looked at digital and it was only $10 cheaper than what I paid for physical. So *shrug.* The absolute stupid thing is that I learned Pokemon Center sells all the games on their website, including all the 3DS games, but of course, they are out of both the Ultra games (nothing else, just those :P)
But whatever, this ebay listing seems like it will work out fine. The guy selling it seemed super nice so I feel better about buying it from someone like that anyways :P
So I'm not going to even glance at the Eldin Ring for another week or month or so when I play the game enough to pass wherever they are. I'm not going to comment on their Eldin Ring...ing as a result. But If I recall, didn't they end the first Dark Souls pretty quickly? And I remember Dark Souls 2 was even shorter.

You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.
I'm gonna need Saint Peter's to win Sunday just to save me a fucking heart attack. I think this state might implode if Duke and UNC play each other in the Final Four.

There are folks on the DBR forums hoping Arkansas wins just to forestall the Apocalypse
Personally, if Duke loses to Arkansas I have zero issues with the Peacocks beating the Heels. But if Duke advances...

They're doing it out of order so far so it's going to be tough to say when you can start watching. They started running around in an area meant for you to be around level 60 and they're level 15 or so lol.
