In any other metagame Eviolite wouldn't make any difference for the Chansey/Blissey debate since Blissey took no Special damage regardless, and 50% more defense doesn't make too much difference on 5 base and less HP, whereas 55 base Sp. Atk would. But I guess B/W is past the point of the infinite special wall now... And Seismic Toss doesn't care about Sp. Atk either, too, I guess.

[zeroality]

Yeah, there are tons of Pokemon that have been greatly improved by it in UU and LC.

In LC, it is like @Eviolite on everything. Ugh Gligar is even more beastly.

[Tyrannigon64]

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped

[SilentSentinel]

Same thing with Porygon2 getting more usage than Porygon-Z due to the Eviolite. Porygon-2's defenses become akin to Lugia's, and it has reliable recovery due to Recover, status in Toxic or Thunder Wave, and even a way to boost Special Attack in Charge Beam if you so choose.

[Cyndadile]

I just got an Evolite!

[ImmunityBow]

My friends got me to download and play League of Legends. I'm having a blast playing Singed though I haven't played many games due to time constraints. (3 games over 3 days)

[ImmunityBow]

Got Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn in New York and played the first few chapters. Everyone sucks! I'm having a blast playing when you really have to team up your characters to keep everyone alive.

[SilentSentinel]

Yeah, the Dawn Brigade people are pretty weak. I'm glad you went and picked up Radiant Dawn though, it's a great game.

[Reliability]

Just wait until Part III when everyone is overpowered and it starts to get super easy.

[ImmunityBow]

It's like that in every game though. I mean just before this I spedran practically all of Fire Emblem 7 with Marcus and still ended up with several characters who could dominate late-game (Lowen, Kent, Pent, Harken, Eliwood).

Radiant Dawn's beginning kind of reminds me of Fuuin no Tsurugi's hard mode. Of course, it's way easier (why are there 32 HP Fighters in the first chapter when all your characters deal 7 damage?), but at least in that game you get Old Marcus from turn 1, plus two excellent cavaliers.

[Pokemad]

I'm playing Pokémon Platinum. Gotta play this til' I get Black. Lost Soulsilver.

On PS3 I'm playing, Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2 and World at War.

On PS2 I'm playing Kingdom Hearts. Awesome games.

[Tyrannigon64]

I've never played Kingdom Hearts :(
I have played Kingdom Hearts II though, and it's pretty awesome.

[Pokemad]

I'd get it, it's awesome, although I don't play it as much as I used to.

[susiehaynes]

Ii am currently playing Kingdom Hearts in my PS2.. great game..

[BladeVap]

I am currently playing Team Fortress 2, ClickCritters, Pokemon Black, and Mario Sports Mix.

Planning on getting back into Wind Waker, lol.

[NyteFyre]

I'm playin Black Ops for whatever reason, mostly Nazi Zombies. Gotta love Ascension.

Also playing Pokemon Black, and Age of Empires 3!

[STT]

Touhou Chireiden: Subterranean Animism

Freaking hard game.

[Tyrannigon64]

Plants vs. Zombies.

I like...

...Winter Melons and Cattails

I don't like...

...Fog and Gargantuars

[sifira]

Been playing around with LoL a bit. Ashe is a beast.
Also playing: Battlefield Bad Company 2, MHFU, and Guild Wars

[ImmunityBow]

Heh, I've moved on from Singed because I love Amumu too much. I also bought Kog'Maw recently, 'cause I like him too.

[ImmunityBow]

I don't know if anyone knows this one, but I've been playing a bit of Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive. It's an offline Wild West stealth RTS game. It's hard though, so I'm going through it really slowly.

[STT]

more touhou plz

Touhou Fuujinroku ~ Mountain of Faith, though I can't beat Nitori for some reason. XD

[ImmunityBow]

To riff a bit in a different direction, I recently acquired the boardgame Space Alert which is an incredible complicated coop vs. the board survival game. I've been trying to play it with my friends, though it's exceedingly difficult. Basically the board throws a million things at you and you have to plan out how to deal with them or else you die. It's pretty fun though.

[Cranky Guy]

Pikmin 2!!!

It is the best real time strategy game I have played in my life.

Has any one here ever played Okami?

[ImmunityBow]

Nope, but I've got some store credit for a game (a present) and I was debating between Epic Mickey and Okami. From what I understand, Okami is extremely good, so I think I'm going to pick it up sometime.

[MeekRhino]

I've been quite obsessed with League of Legends. It's a great game, and the best part is it's free. It's a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) although that title is a bit of a misnomer. I can't really explain to someone that hasn't played a similar game before (e.g. DoTa, HoN), without simply suggesting that you watch some gameplay on youtube. LoL is made by Riot Games Inc, and they are dedicated to improving the game through weekly or every-other-weekly patches, which include introducing new playable champions and continuous balance changes. If you are looking for a game that can be repeatedly fun, this is a good one to look into. I have never been entertained by a single game for this long; since early november!

[Cranky Guy]

I prefer Okami than Epic Mickey.

I have been playing plants vs zombies. gets quite boring after a while.

[Flynt]

As of this month, I'm jumping between three Ratchet games (Ratchet & Clank, Size Matters, and Up Your Arsenal) and am also immensely enjoying L.A. Noire.

Not doing too well in the Ratchet games though, seeing as how I flat out refuse to wear armor... Ah well.

[sifira]

Highfives on more LoL players (haven't been able to play for a week or so due to unreliable internets). :D
Been playing Infamous, fun game is fun.

[MeekRhino]

Oh, sifira, you play LoL as well? What is your summoner name?

[sifira]

It's the same as my name on here, but I haven't been on in a few weeks.

[MeekRhino]

You should get back into it, I could use a duo queue partner

[sifira]

I've been trying to get on more lately since one of my co-workers likes getting a group together and facerolling random people, but meh.

Started playing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite again. Love mah bows.

Edit: My internet's starting to get better and I figured out how to fix my fps problems, so I'll be playing more if you want to hit me up. I'm still looking for a champ or two that I can play well though, haven't found anyone other than alistar that I can play well, but caitlyn is looking promising. :D

[Flynt]

I've started playing my old Pokemon Colosseum again. Trying to collect all the Shadow Pokemon can be rather rage inducing. Thank god Colosseum has an exploitable Pokeball glitch. It only took me two attempts at getting Entei and three at getting Suicune this time around, however, so I'm scared things aren't going to go so well when I get to Ein and Raikou.

[zeroality]

I played FFVII with gameshark codes for tons of AP gain (materia growth). Game crashes on Disc 2 (where Bugenhagen shows the waterfall scene) and won't let me continue. Apparently it's a problem with the disc, not the sharking. Well, bollocks to that then.

Played FFVIII with gameshark codes for ap up (GF growth), and infinite refining magic/items/cards (not using up the source material). Game crashes when Rinoa gets Squall to dance on Disc 1.

Now I'm discouraged from playing games. And before you say anything, I like to shark games I've already beaten for subsequent playthroughs.

If Nintendo puts more than one save slot, it will be easier to get various pokemon, like all thge starters, justtrade to another file of yours on the GTS, or use a game from a friend of yours, trade your pokemon from one file, ant trade back to another file, I start Fire Red 3 times to get all the starters, but can't do the same on Emerald (already more than 400 hours of play), but I still have my Venusaur lv 100 on my Pearl (waiting to get money to buy Black or White).

Playing:

-Pokemon Pearl
-Golden Sun: The Lost Age
-Street Fighter III Third Strike
-Guilty Gear XX Reloaded

[ImmunityBow]

Whew, finally finished Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

Maybe it was a mistake not to use a walkthrough while playing, since there's so much random crap that just leads to your guys dying by the end. The final boss, with no warning or anything, will suddenly attack massively out of their range and kill one of your weak units. I had to let the units go, and I hadn't lost a single unit until the last battle D:.

Also, since I didn't know how that game was going to go, I ended up parsing out the experience way more than I should have, and ended up having too few "monster" units who I could just let be and not have them die. The game tries to make up for this by giving you lots of laguz royalty but you really need 15-17 massively good characters. Beyond the laguz royalty I only really had Ike, Boyd and Rolf who could hold their own (but those three were basically as good as laguz royalty, which is good I guess) and the rest required lots of babying, which is okay in most games but not in a game with levels where enemies can teleport from anywhere on the map and swarm your weak unit.

Other than the end part, I think it's my favourite game in the series. The Dawn Brigade part is massively fun since everyone sucks so bad, and it's nice that sometimes you literally had to play two sides of a fight one chapter after the other. There are also so pretty powerful decision moments like when you have to split the entire team up into three groups (and I made the mistake of thinking that it would last a lot longer than it did, and thusly parsed the exp out way too much).

Anyway, back to LoL and Desperadoes. I've also been playing a bit of a flash game called Sword & Potions, which has some bad elements (money-grubbing) but somehow I still enjoy it.

[Reliability]

I think you meant Radient Dawn. But I digress.

I'm playing through on normal (for the first time) and I have to say it's a lot more fulfilling. Though I have let several units die...

Yes, IB, there is some planning involved with getting to the last level, as I have found out. Since the first time I played, I've kept the number of units allowed in the last level in my head, as well as a list of the units you have to bring. That way, I only train enough units to the higher levels, and end up with a much stronger force overall.

[zeroality]

Path of Radiance is N64 iirc.

Edit: Gamecube.

[ImmunityBow]

Yeah, I meant Radiant Dawn.

I counted the final promoted units I had, it was 26.

I also started on Epic Mickey, since I looked all over for Okami and couldn't find it (and I wasn't going to look for 2 years straight like I did for Radiant Dawn) so I bought Epic Mickey since I heard the story was amazing and it also is a cool painting platformer. I went to the store and it was $37 used, but while I was trying to buy it the teller at EB couldn't find any of the discs, which was weird since the boxes were on display everywhere. Then it turned out it was because there was a sale where they were selling new copies for $20 so that kind of made my day there.
