See's constant mention of Digimon.It's Intro is just the best, and honestly I liked it even more than pokemon.Digimon show = Far better than pokemon.Digimon games = Just as good, but sadly didn't seem to get close to as popular.

Honestly I think the Pokemon games beat out the Digimon ones, mostly in terms of consistency.

In Digimon, all the rules change with every game. I only played them casually and I didn't even pick up that many, but the gameplay and, in particular, the digivolution paths were all so different that it made it difficult for me to really think of the games as a series, or transfer any useful knowledge from one to the other.

In Pokemon, X evolves into Y (no pun intended) and that's very unlikely to change. Every species has specific characteristics and those don't change... much, other than adding new attacks and maybe a new evolution. Not to mention most of the items don't change, either - nor do established attacks. There's not nearly as much re-learning required as in Digimon. If you've played one Pokemon game, then the skills you learned there will transfer into the next game you play. And, virtually all the gameplay mechanics should remain the same, as well. That's probably why the Pokemon games did so much better than the Digimon games, now that I think about it.

Edit: But yes, that opening theme is the best thing ever.

You would think that the repetitiveness and the lack of variation in lyrics would be a negative factor, but somehow that seems to be the best part.

He's a he. And if you ask me he is pretty much the cutest companion ever. <3

But it seems a good majority of the fandom just thinks he's annoying.

Well, the majority of people who have seen him think that, anyway. Everyone else just sees me in my Adric cosplay and figures out that I'm supposed to be from Doctor Who thanks to my accent and jargon but no one actually knows who I'm supposed to be.

Except... I think there was one girl who recognized me and said she wanted my picture. That was pretty cool.

Anywho in case you were wondering what he looked like I'll just post some pictures here because googling his name leads to spoilers in the suggestions list.

ADRIC

He deserved more episodes than he got. <3

“I… I don’t know.” he replied weakly, still trembling as he slowly pulled himself away from Rose, leaning on the TARDIS console again for support. “I need to figure out what’s happened to my memories… I thought I had them all back but I suppose not… gah! It’s like I don’t even know who I am anymore! Oh, what a horrible sense of deja vu…” he continued, before his head perked up and another look of concern and confusion crossed his face. “I’m not sure I even remember what I was doing before you walked in…”

Done with attack on Titan and Pandora Hearts ^^I think I'll need something funny for a change. But nothing too long. Any suggestions? :)

I would suggest Trigun because it starts out hilarious, but it starts to turn really dark and heavy about halfway through. Not that that's a bad thing - as I really like both halves of Trigun - but it's not exactly a comedy through and through. It is only 26 episodes, though, if that helps.

Well. I mean.

I don't see what the huge fuss is about.

He wrote a lot of really good episodes - like Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead and Blink.

Plus he kind of defined Eleven's era. And I like Eleven. Sure, looking back on it, the overarching storyline to season 5 didn't make a ton of sense, but I liked most of the rest of his work - and I don't understand the criticisms against Clara, either. She's certainly one of the best companions of New Who. Plus, I like season 8 so far, and I'm interested to see where this whole heaven plot goes.

Oh, and the 50th anniversary special was great, too, I think.

But, I mean, I also liked Adric, and no one likes Adric, so, I guess that invalidates my opinion completely.

Hopefully He Who Should Quit Today had no fingerprints on any of it.

I probably shouldn't talk about Moffat.

That never goes well.

Welcome Back to the Guild

The rodent itself seemed to jump slightly in response to Books and Rae’s shock, standing up on its hind legs as it glanced between the two, ears perked. After a few seconds, though, the mouse began to squeak in a way that almost resembled laughter, the creature’s head dipping back down again as the laughing continued, as if it found the girls’ fear to be absolutely hilarious.

Once it finished, it looked up at Rae, and in a chipmunk-like pitch, replied, “I’ll show you what I am.”

As it spoke, its voice changed — becoming deeper and more menacing — as the creature itself grew rapidly, its form stretching from something cute and tiny into something far, far worse.

The end result was a monster that filled nearly the whole chamber — though it was a skinny thing, standing on four thin, insect-like legs attached to a scrawny, mammalian body with a thin, whip-like tail, mosquito-esque wings, and a narrow, rat-like face filled with scraggly, thin and razor-sharp teeth. It glared at the girls menacingly. “Now that you know what ]I am…” it spoke up, stepping towards the two slowly. “Show me what you are, you strange creatures…!”

As Leon played with the sliders, especially when he pulled them all the way to the extremes, small notifications appeared in the lower-right corner of the ‘screen’ claiming to have fixed small errors in the design — mostly seemingly relating to the internal structure of the creature — in order to make sure the creature was still capable of living should the file be run. Each notification even came with buttons for “undo” and “turn off auto-adjust”, and appeared, along with the rest of the notification, on the screen for a few seconds before vanishing as more edits were made. It was really a testament to how advanced the program and GM’s creatures were.

And while the File tab did feature a ‘Save As’ option, along with other interesting options such as ‘Run’ or ‘Add form’, it seemed Leon’s concerns about not wanting to overwrite the Basilix file were already a moot point, as a small line of text that appeared at the bottom of the screen every so often seemed to imply that the changes had been autosaved every couple of minutes or so.

Oohhhh the creepier episodes. Very nice. I approve :3 I hope your roommate likes the episodes. They are tons of fun. Even if Midnight makes you question if the thing is still out there somewhere.

That's one of my favorite things about Midnight. They don't explain anything about the creature at the end - what it was, where it came from, or whether or not it was killed - because they didn't need to. The story wrapped up perfectly without it. Plus, the ambiguity of it all really seals the episode together. The fear of the unknown is probably one of the biggest, most essential fears that humans universally fear. That's probably why the episode is still capable of delivering chills every time you re-watch it - you still don't understand what that thing is. And that probably makes knowing what happens next even more intense, because you still don't know why, thus playing off of that fear.

I mean, I know I get chills every time Sky's words first start to come before the Doctor's. Every time. Even though I've seen the episode so many times that I've pretty much memorized the entire thing and I know exactly when it comes, it still gets me. Honestly I feel like the anticipation just increases my enjoyment of the whole thing. It is my all-time favorite New Who episode for a reason.

Also, it seems like every time I watch it at home, my mom enters the room at some point and starts echoing the words, as well.

Ah well nothing wrong with having no plans on Halloween. I'm just going to help my parents with the kids (my cousin and my brother) trick or treat in my costume. {My job allows me to dress up ^.^}

Oh, that's cool!

I hate word. I only use it when I'm writing one shots whilst watching English dubbed animes. I have fo be doing two things at once. I can't just do one thing at a time. My attention span is limited.

Well then... do that one thing at a time.

And write a post.

Then save it on, I dunno, notepad or something.

Just saying: just because you can't post posts doesn't mean you can't write them. :/
