Re: Goblins

I wonder who else notices that despite being created as a joke character to make fun of powergaming, Minmax seems to have undergone the most character development? Just a thought that has come up.

I'm not sure if I buy how quickly Kin went from being brutally abused and fearful of even being touched to in love with a human though.
In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.

I can easily see that behavior in abuse victims, especially since Minmax is one of her rescuers. I bet the no-touching thing is still there, by the way.

Touching on something akin to my Tengen Toppa Cthulhu Fhtagn idea, The WMG page for TTGL has this:

The events of Gurren Lagann are a chronicle of the distant past of the Pokémon universe.
Consider: Boota evolved (even if only in his mind) from his mole-pig form into a Cute Shotaro Boy in Cool Sunglasses. Since none of the alternate universes The Will uses against the Dai-Gurren-dan appear actively impossible with the series' physics, this implies that Boota could do this, or at least something similar, in the real world. (Presumably, if push comes to shove, he could do so again with Simon's help.) In any case, the chain of events is as follows: After Simon's (long-delayed) death, the pretty-much-immortal mole-pig goes on to sire a numberless legion of Spiral-powered hybrid creatures. The galaxy unites briefly, but separates once more when they recognize that their expansion is leading towards the Spiral Nemesis. A trackless time passes. Boota's hyper-powered descendants, born with the capacity to retain enormous amounts of Spiral power, evolve at warp speed, speciating into countless different varieties of creature, many of them near-sentient. Humanity eventually abandons the form of Ganmen and much of their dependence on Spiral power. Meanwhile, the Beastmen, unable to regenerate any longer, go extinct. Millenia pass, and the world- already very different from present-day Earth- regrows and reshapes itself further. Even the Great Gurren-dan is relegated to little more than legend, and eventually forgotten altogether.
Pokemon evolve the way they do because of their inherent Spiral energy - without invoking its nature as a super-powerful form of Applied Phlebotinum. Simply put, Pokemon store Spiral power as they fight and evolve- generally beyond their control- when they've accrued enough. A strong-willed human can help them suppress this drive, either through intense focus or Everstones- which are bits of The Will's unit, Grand Zamboa, still rich with Spiral-suppressing energy. Debris from both units rained down on Earth after the battle in Super Spiral Space; consequently the Element Stones can be assumed to come from TTGL- or Chouginga, in the case of Moon Stones. Rare Candy is crystallized Boota poo- and it's not REALLY candy. As soon as it's given to a Pokemon, it disintegrates to release a small amount of Spiral energy.
Ash's Pikachu, incidentally, is a direct male-line descendant of Boota himself (how else does a Shock Rat get THAT level of Magical Bullshit Power?). Mole-pigs in general become such varied creatures as Swinub, Piloswine, Diglett, Dugtrio and Sandshrew. James and Brock are descendants of Leeron, who, rather than forgo his status as Eternal Queer, had a test-tube baby to give him a family line. Brock inherited the lovable pervert tendencies; James received most of Leeron's Camp Gay-ness. There is simply no other way James could be THAT fabulous.
Ash's Squirtle is the reincarnation of no less than Kamina himself.
Ironically, the greatest concentration of Spiral power is in the fast-evolving bugs, with Beedrill the very height. Beedrill even has DRILLS FOR HANDS.
  • Extrapolating from the above, the Anti-Spirals captured Arceus, Dialga and Palkia (three of the few Pokemon that weren't Boota's descendents), using them to create their universe and manipulate everything within to their will. Boota, still immortal, eventually became Mew, the predecessor of all Pokemon. Its clone Mewtwo not only inhereted Boota's incredible Spiral Power but is also able to harness it better because of his more humanoid form. Horn Drill is a one-hit-KO attack because it's a drill (duh); a similar move, Horn Attack, involves no drilling and is thus relatively worthless.
    • Similarly, Drill Peck is over twice as powerful as the standard Peck.
      • Also extrapolating (this time also from Fanon) from the above, Spinda is immortal.
      • I fully support this addendum.
  • Let's develop this further. If element stones are fragments of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and therefore are all solid bits of Spiral Energy, why do they not work on all Pokemon - and a particular type of stone may work on one, but not another? Also, why would Butterfree have just as highly concentrated Spiral Power as Beedrill? Well, at later levels, it has to exercise kill-before-killed tactics and rely on its powerful Psychic skills . . . which are basically weaponized willpower.
    • Evolution Stones don't work on everyone because, well- evolution's funny like that. That's even true in the real world (especially as it pertains to selective pressure), nevermind Pokemon.
  • There's no telling how deep this rabbit hole goes: Lord Genome had a Pikachu.
    • There's also Nidorino/Nidorina, Mew, and possibly Pidgey in that photo.
  • If Pikachu is a direct-line male heir to Boota, and Squirtle is Kamina, what does that say about Ash?! Kid Hero, Idiot Hero, able to tell the rules of reality to fuck off whenever he and Pikachu want to do something, he must be Simon reincarnated. Squirtle/Kamina came to Ash at the beginning of his adventure, when he needed help, and left (this time without the Heroic Sacrifice) when Ash no longer needed him around. The glasses worn by the other Squirtles around him must have been references to Simon's goggles, in an attempt to get closer to their Crazy Awesome leader.
  • I'd say that Spoink is probably the closest strain to Boota - not only are they pigs, but they're attached to a spiral!
    • With Black/White having just hit, we have further links. Boota's lineage still includes Piloswine and etc- but Drillbur and Excadrill are his most direct descendants (well, aside from Pikachu somehow). They even get GIGA DRILL BREAKER, for Arceus' sake. Also, Skyla is Yoko's direct descendant. This isn't even a question. Seriously. Golett and Golurk are powered by Spiral Energy directly and may even be related to Ganmen; perhaps they're tsukumogami of the forgotten mecha? Also, there's the bit where the oldest ruin in Unova is the Dragon*Spiral* tower. This may be less relevant, of course, but it's at least worth noting.
    • Holy crap, I just noticed the spirals on Golett and Golurk, you might be on to something here. Nevermind the fact that Golett evolves from a robot with stumpy limbs, like Gurren after Kamina managed to break both legs and arms immediately after stealing it, to a robot with more human limb proportions, like Gurren Lagann.
      • And they have spirals on them.
  • Expanding on this general theory, Spiritomb may be fragments of the Anti-Spiral Hive Mind. They are 108 spirits sealed away in Odd Keystones (which may be fragments of the Anti-Spiral homeworld), and have a backwards spiral in their left eye. They were said to have been sealed away for a bunch of misdeeds long ago; what if said misdeeds were their various campaigns against the Spiral races? Also, they are less intelligent since they are only made of 108 spirits, rather than billions; after all, being torn apart like that mind raped them into an extremely destructive animal-like state.
    • Cyrus may be an attempt to restore the Anti-Spiral race. Cyrus is The Stoic, and wants to remake the universe to be without emotion. This would stunt Spiral Power permanetly. If he isn't the reincarnation of the Anti-Spirals, he's a secret project.
  • Certain characters of both anime are related:
    • Ash Ketchum is the descendant of Simon. That's why Ash is the chosen one and beloved by legendaries. Simon probably had a kid with Yoko or something(they are close, and Nia died.)
    • Viral is none other than Tobias. Why does Tobias have legendaries? Because Viral has had eons to harness his badassery, and was there when Pokemon first appeared.
    • Yoko is the ancestor of May, since how else could she be that stacked at age 10?
    • Through sperm donation, James and Harley are descended from Leeron. How else could they be that fabulous?
    • Brock is descended either from Kamina's father, or Kamina himself caused an immaculate conception(for he is Jesus). Why else is Brock a Lovable Sex Maniac and Handsome Lech?
  • The Aura Guardians were a sect of Spiral users created by Simon in his later life. Aura is a special kind of Spiral Power that cannot create too much matter (therefore preventing the Spiral Nemesis from occurring), so it looks blue instead of green. In addition to guarding over the world, the Guardians also focused on sealing away the Spiritomb race (see above).
  • At some point, the Moon was lost, and they had to replace it with the Cathedral Terra. It became the new Moon, and was abandoned. Eventually, any remaning life mutated/evolved into Clefairy.
  • Mewtwo is more powerful than Mew. Clearly this is due to being better at harnessing Spiral Power, being more humanoid and all.

And a gift from the Jagers!

Personally, I like the vault guardian. A giant dragon who goes around clubbing people with a sackful of the Heterodyne treasurey and telling them to get on with the rejoicing?
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Watched Blues Brothers earlier before work, watching Blues Brothers 2000 (didn't realize the sequel was the one I hadn't seen. I always figured the original was the one that didn't get much play on tv, no I don't know why I thought that).

You have no idea how much this makes me want to play a bard in a party of performers in a game influenced by these movies and Pick of Destiny... And maybe Soul Music.

So an Atheist Comedy-Magician with a penchant for guns, a metal singer who verbally bitch slapped Tipper Gore on national television, the most epic gay man in existance, and Mafia widow walk into Donald Trump's office...

This will actually happen in the near future (ok, it has happened, we'll see it in the near future). The next Celebrity Apprentice will have in it's roster Penn Jillete, Dee Snider, George Takei and Victoria Gotti.

It will also have a bunch of other people, but I don't care about them past recognizing a handful of names.

Kung Fu Panda was also pretty damn good. Can't speak for 2, but KFP 1 honestly impressed me.

How to Train Your Dragon was one of those movies that I was pleasantly surprised by.

I liked Kung Fu Panda 2 better than the first (and I really liked the first one). That could just be because everyone I know (myself included) took one look at Po and and said he reminded them of Ess. Ess' favorite animal is even a panda.

And I have a soft spot for the older Sinbad because I adore Eris.

On our humble imageboard, there has lately been a spike in the Samurai vs Knight threads. This is partially due to the release of the 2nd Shogun total war, and partially due to [EDITED]. I have made it my mission to sit down, do heavy research, and to end this once and for all. You might ask what my qualifications are, and so I will respond with the truth. I am a student, not just of life, but of literal school. I have a keen interest in history, and while I admittedly hold some love for Japan, I think one could hardly call me weeaboo due to the fact that I can admit what parts of the culture are shit and that the Japanese are as a whole, fucked in the head.
I also hold a love for medieval to Renaissance Europe, so my greatest weapon in this, is that I am about as unbiased as one can get, because I hold love for both areas. Now let's get into the heart of the matter before we go off topic. There is a reason why these threads never prove a damn thing; there are never any specifics. The encounter needs to have a foundation to be built on, so here is what I am using.

The knight will have full plate. His side arm will be a longsword, he will wield a shield, and he will have a lance as his primary weapon. The knight will be mounted on an armored warhorse. The knight and warhorse will be armored as well as wealth can allow. This means that he will have padding, chain-mail, and all that good shit under his plate. He is not a poor man and can afford to armor himself properly.
The samurai will have wooden samurai armor. Now while the Japanese DID in fact have metal cuirasses in later part of the their history, but we will assume that this guy has only the O-Yoroi (that's the wood, leather, and padding) because in Japan, you would have been one important motherfucker to be wearing metal all over your body. The samurai will be equipped with a katana side arm, a wakizashi (little baby katana, more like a knife), and a tall, bamboo, Yumi bow as his primary weapon. The horse will be armored just like the samurai, and now we have our specifics.

Let's create a scenario, now. The gaijin knight is visiting Japan with a few of his noble friends. They're in a small coastal village, recounting the times they've driven horses into the backs of peasant lines, when the knight bumps into the samurai. The samurai stares him down, expecting him to beg forgiveness, but he doesn't. So the samurai moves to cut him down, but the knight's friends suggest that instead of having this happen here, they both fight an honorable duel toward the nearby hill side.
Both of them having much honor at stake, with the whole village watching, agree. So now we have preparation. Well the Samurai is a practitioner of bushido, but luckily for him, bushido is for when important people are watching, and doesn't even apply to the rude gaijin in a tin can. So the samurai drafts an army of conscripts, hands them pointy sticks and armored rice hats, and then uses his extreme wealth to buy like six hundred war dogs. He gives each war dog a badass little wooden mask, and names them all “Kira-Seiko-So-Ru-Shittah”, or “Kill-Fuck-Soul-Shitter”. The samurai then rides off, gets all his samurai friends, and tells them that they have a guy to kill FOR GREAT HONOR.

[deleted]

**THE DAY OF THE BATTLE**
The battle approaches. The opposing forces stand at hill tops, cursing eachother's treacherous behavior. The knight has his gunmen set up on the hill while the ninjas prepare the attack ferrets. The revolting peasants are broken up into 2 massive unorganized ranks. The first rank is made of of peasants with sickles, flails, jabbing sticks, and those who have chosen to carry their potatoes in their socks as weapons (different from a flail because it is so ineffective it would be an insult to all flail kind to compare the two), while the second rank is composed of 30ft ranged short bow wielders as well as those with potato slings.
On the opposite hill, the conscript spear men are terrified of their own side's wardogs, who have already eaten one of them. The samurai assures them all that the wardogs are for morale purposes only and will not be used in battle due to their uncontrollable nature in large numbers. The samurai club is all geared up for combat with bows at the ready. They position themselves at the top of the opposite hill aiming at what will soon be the killing field.

Then the battle begins. The samurai and knight watch their men eagerly, stopping only to flip each other off from their vantage points. Both sides charge, and just as the peasants meet in the middle, the ninjas release the attack ferrets and run away. Countless rabid ferrets slither their snake like bodies down into the battle, mainly being a smelly nuisance. Seeing this, the samurai instantly releases his six hundred wardogs as arrows and musket balls pour into the peasants.
The wardogs kill everyone on the battle field, eat the ferrets, become rabid, and then proceed to run off and cause havok through out the country side. This section of Japan is now plagued by rabid dogs bred for war with demon masks. At this point, the gunmen have run out of ammo. They are then commanded to charge, and use the guns like clubs, never being instructed on bayonet use, and there being some confusion as to what a bayonet actually is.
The Samurai archers fill them up with arrows, which they can carry more of, but are kind of afraid of the wardogs, so they go home. Now it should just be the knight and the samurai, right? Well you're wrong. They both ran away when they saw that shit was getting serious. The knight is on a boat, going home while the Samurai is at home having peasant girls kidnapped for raping. Now while this section of Japan is plagued by rabid horror dogs that hide in the rice fields and eat children, everyone the knight has ever loved is currently dying of the plague in Europe.

**THE CONCLUSION**
No one wins. That's right, no one, because nobles are fucking cocks. Why did I do this giant cop out? Because no matter who I said won, the other side would whine and bitch and moan about it. Besides, I figure this was a pretty accurate representation of how the nobles would have handled it. You my now discuss amongst yourselves how I am the greatest of all history simulators and how I ought to be honored.

I'm playing an SRD Fighter in a Pathfinder/3.5 hybrid game (using Tome Combat Maneuvers, but no other Tome content) and somehow ended up MVP. But that's not the amusing part. The party got hired to find out what happened to a town built around a sawmill (lost contact after a storm), and it turned out that a mysterious force had been disappearing people who went off on their own, and there was barely a quarter of the militia left. My PC successfully argued that we had a moral imperative to lead a large-scale evacuation rather than seeking out the force directly, since the longer we left the civilians there, the more would be disappeared.

The game was put on hold for restructuring.

So, Ghost Rider, Spirit of Vengeance.

The Ghost Rider, in the middle of a battle in some abandoned quarry in Europe suddenly looks up at the giant piece of machinery that has been sitting there since the camera first panned over it ten minutes prior in an establishing shot, showing it's chain basket-bucket things on the wheel. It's basically this, and has an expression I can only translate as "It has a cockpit? ...THIS'LL BE AWESOME." After, I might add, getting hit with two bunker busters, the second snuffing his flame. He climbs up into the thing, and after a few false starts to reignite, sets the whole god damned thing on fire and starts using it to wreak merry havoc on the thugs and arms dealers that were shooting at him. The demon of vengeance even laughs with glee at the sheer badassness of it. Yes, it seems that if it can rode or driven, the Ghost Rider can transform it.

I mean, that's the most bad ass thing in the movie, even above hitting someone so hard, they pierce the earth's crust and mantle.
