Random Pokemon Time Travel Thing.



Saw this post on the Pokemon subreddit.

You only really need to see this picture.

In case you don't want to visit either of those, all you need to know is as follows. Imagine if you went back in time, and battled your younger self now that you know a lot more about Pokemon.


That post made me want to write this very small thing:



A cold breeze chills the air. The sounds of battle themes & Pokemon cries echo through the night.

Jonny can hear the sound of a trench coat flapping at his window. He peeks out of his covers to find a man sitting at his window.

"Say kid, I heard you were a Pokemon trainer." asks the man. "I'M THE VERY BEST!" screams Jonny. "Shhh. You don't want to get grounded do you?" "No." Jonny responds.

"How about a battle kid?" "Sure!" says Jonny as he jumps out his bed.

He grabs his link cable & hands the other end to the man. As the mysterious man stands in the shadows, he reaches into his trench coat & pulls a Gameboy out of it's holster.

The two battle through the night. As they finish their 5th battle, the man places his Gameboy back in it's holster. He smiles as a tear slowly runs down his cheek.

"Hey mister. Why are crying?" ask Jonny. The mysterious man returns to window. The shining light from the moon lights up half of his face. Jonny notices the smile & smiles himself.

"You should get some sleep kid." He jumps out of the window. Jonny runs to see if he is okay but there is nobody in sight.

"Who was he?" Jonny asks himself.

DayZ To Become A Standalone Game



DayZ. The extremely popular hyper-realistic zombie survival mod for Arma2: Combined Operations.

A quote from the Day Z Tumblr post
"That's right, this is actually happening - DayZ will be developed as a standalone game, with me as project lead, by Bohemia Interactive. This is the fairy-tale outcome for a mod that many would have said impossible four months ago.

Development and updates of the mod will continue in parallel with the development of the game, so anyone who is playing the mod now will be able to continue to do so. The project will follow the Minecraft development model; fast iterations with the community alpha available for a heavily discounted price. I realize people will have many, many questions - but we wanted to let everyone know the announcement now. Over the coming weeks, these questions will be answered. The game will have it's own site, http://dayzgame.com/ and the will continue at it's previous link." - Rocketkiwi

You can download ARMA 2: Combined Operations here.

If you have not saw Cowboy Bebop, You can wait & see if there is an English BD OR you can just get a standard English DVD & watch that. Cowboy Bebop has one of the best English dubs, At least in my opinion.

Slender: Source (Multiplayer Slender) Has Been Announced!



Have you had the chance to play Slender yet?



Slender is a unity based game where you are placed into a woods like area with only a flashlight.

Your objective is to find 8 pieces of paper about Slenderman. Yes I said Slenderman. The very popular creepy pasta created on the SomethingAwful forums many years ago.

As you look for these pieces of manuscript, You are also being pursued by Slenderman himself.

Sound scary? Want to give it a try? Go right ahead.



For those that have played Slender. Have you ever wanted to play it with 2 other friends & look for creepy dolls in an abandoned hospital?

Slender: Source is aiming to provide the same amount a creepiness as the original Slender did, But now you can experience it with 2 other friends.

They are hoping to add in another 'stage' in the form of an abandoned hospital. (I don't like hospitals during the day. At night? Screw that.)

The only thing that needs to be done for Slender: Source, is the modelling of Slenderman himself. And the animations.

Can you model & animate in the Source engine? If so, Go help make this mod a reality!
