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

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!

Two Katawa Shoujo 'Spiritual Successors' That Are Currently In The Works.

Katatwa Shoujo became an instant fan favorite. And inspired many people to create fan art, fan fiction & of course, inspired people to create their own visual novels.


Today I have found two visual novels that were inspired by Katawa Shoujo & are currently in development.

New SMITE God Revealed.

A New God By The Name Of  Bakasura Has Been Revealed For SMITE.






























Bakasura a great asura who lived near the city of Ekachakra. He forced the prince of the place to send him daily a large quantity of provisions, which he devoured, and not only the provisions, but the men who carried them.








Bakasura, the Great Devourer


Abilities. 

• Passive – Insatiable Hunger =  Bakasura’s attack speed increases by 4% for each enemy that he kills. The buff lasts for 10 seconds and can stack up to 5 times.

• Take Down =  Bakasura leaps to his ground target location, doing 100/160/220/280/340 (+60% of your physical power) physical damage to all enemies in the area and reducing their damage done by 30% for 3 seconds. Cost – 60/65/70/75/80 mana. Cooldown – 12s.

• Eat Minion =  Bakasura grabs a minion and devours it, healing himself for 125/175/225/275/325 (+100% of your physical power) and gaining a 15/20/25/30/35% movement speed buff for 6 seconds. Buff wielding minions must be at 33% health to be consumed. Up to 6 minions are stored for Regurgitate. Cost – 75 mana. Cooldown – 15/14/13/12/11s.

• Butcher Blades =  Bakasura passively gains 10/15/20/25/30 physical power. When activated, he gains an additional 15/30/45/60/75 true damage on each strike for 6 seconds. Cost – 60/65/70/75/80 mana. Cooldown – 14s.

• Regurgitate =  Bakasura exposes his head, regurgitating all of the minions consumed by his Consume Minion ability at his ground target location that slows enemy players by 15/20/25/30/35%. Bakasura’s basic attacks become cone attacks for 6 seconds. Cost – 80/90/100/110/120 mana. Cooldown – 90s.

Personally, Bakasura sounds a little over-powered to me. But he does sound like quite the interesting character. He could provide some interesting E-Sports material. 

Étude Pour les Petites Supercordes - Clannad Fan Fiction (Kotomi) Chapter 1

Chapter 1



“Kotomi!” “Hey, Kotomi” Tomoya begins to jog up the hill to try and catch up to Kotomi. “Oh, Hi Tomoya, How are you this morning?” 

"I am good thanks. Thought I might come into school on time for a change.” says Tomoya whilst rubbing his eyes.

“That is great. Once you get used to it, It isn’t really that bad” stated Kotomi. “I don’t think I could get used to this.” moaned Tomoya with a slight smile on his face.

“So, What are you doing today?” asks Tomoya. "Oh nothing. I will probably spend some time in the Library."

“Say, Would you like to. uh, Have lunch together today?”

“I would love to Tomoya!” exclaimed Kotomi with a huge smile on her face.

“Great, I can’t wait.”

"Me neither..."

Tomoya slowly strolls through the classroom and collapses into his seat. “Oh hi Tomoya. I didn’t expect to see you this early.” says Ryou from across the room. 

“Well uh. I thought it would be nice to be on at least some peoples good side for a change.” “Well I think it’ great Tomoya” replies Ryou as she now stand in front of Tomoya’s desk.

“So how are you Tomoya?” “Tired, But good none the less. How about you?”  asks Tomoya. “Fine thank you. Oh here is the teacher. See ya.”

Tomoya grows more bored of his lessons by the second. Looks over to Youhei’s desk to find him sleeping on his desk. Tomoya kicks the back of his chair and with that Youhei jumps out and screams.

“AHHHHHH!” “SUNOHARA! SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP” Screamed the teacher. “Oh, Sorry Sir.” moaned Youhei with an embarrassed look on his face.

“What’s was that for man?” Asks Youhei. “What? I didn’t do anything I swear.” Lies Tomoya. Youhei slams his head back on the desk & goes back to sleep.

Dinner rolls around. Tomoya heads to the cafeteria to grab some sandwiches. Once the sandwiches have been acquired, he makes his way to the library. “Hey, Tomoya!.” He turns around to find out who greeted him. Standing there with a cheesy smile on her face stands Kyou Fujibayashi. “Stop smiling like that You’re making me feel uneasy.” 

“Oh shut it you. Say, Where are you going?” asks Ryou. “Just to the library to have lunch with Kotomi.”

“Oh. Well then I’ll let you get along to your little date. Bye!” “It’s not a da-” Kyou has already ran off before he can finish his sentence.

Tomoya slides open the door to the library and walks in. 

“Kotomi? You in here?” As Tomoya continues to walk into the Library, He spots Kotomi sitting on the ground bare foot as usual. But this time, Tomoya is dumbfounded. Tomoya just stands a stares. 

Looking at the way the light from the window hits Kotomi’s face. “Hi Tomoya!” “Tomoya?” Kotomi gets no reply. 

She stands up and walks towards him. Tomoya’s eyes follow her face. Still stuck for words, He stands as Kotomi shakes him. “Hey, Tomoya.” “Oh, What? I’m sorry. I was a little dizzy.” responds Tomoya.

“Hey, I grabbed sandwiches.” Says Tomoya as he pulls out two sandwiches from his bag. “Oh great. I actually can’t find my lunch. But I do have some tea.” replied Kotomi as she pulls out a flask of tea. 

They both sit & begin eating. “So how was your classes Tomoya?” asks Kotomi. “Ah, The usual stuff. I don’t want to bore you with it. Tell me, What have you been doing?”

“Ah, I was reading up on ‘Higgs Boson’ Do you know about it?” She asked. “I can’t say that I do Kotomi.” They continue eating until the bell that indicates classes are about to begin sounds. “Oh, I should be going.”

They both reached for the remaining packaging leftover from the sandwiches. Their hands connect. One on top of another. It feels as if time has completely stopped. 

Tomoya pulls his hand back & blushes. “What’s wrong Tomoya?” asked Kotomi with a slightly concerned look on her face. “Oh nothing, I’m sorry. I’m going to go now. Hey, Wait for me here after school okay?”

“Okay, I’ll be right here Tomoya!” Kotomi begins to blush. She lowers her head in an act of shyness.
