Just posting a rant about me being unable to find other places to rant as well so I don't have to look stupid or mean in the places I can. I hate having to watch what I say. Agh.

So last week my computer started having issues where upon startup it couldn't find the user and would stay stuck as a cursor with a blank black screen and I could do nothing, not even start it up in safe mode. Apparently it was caused by a heavily corrupted OS, and after much frustration we ended up taking it into a shop to have it fixed. I ended up waiting a whole week for them to fix it (where they had a guaranteed 24-hour thing, but apparently my computer was extremely messed up so I don't fault them for that too much), paid $150, and upon getting my computer back had a good number of virus protection programs that they had installed on it that I didn't ask for. But it worked at least.

Haven't even had the stupid thing back for 24 hours yet, and twice now my system has had to restart itself because some program or other has just stopped working. Plug and Play I know was one of them, don't remember the other but I'm thinking DCOM since just about every other person out there with the problem mentions those two... But yeah, it's caused by a corrupted OS! Go fucking figure.

This isn't a rant as such but I had no idea where to post this.

I dunno if anyone heard about the Reign of Fire TCG packs? And how they're much more likely to contain loot cards? And that you can get any loot card from any previous set? Well... there are also packs (UBER RARE PACKS) that contain ALL loot cards. Every card is a loot card...

... And I just found this video.

I... I want one. I don't even play WoW anymore and... I want that. So bad. Omg. So much envy.

So a video producer called JewWario died today D: He shot himself.

I loved his videos he was such a nice guy and everything I've read about people meeting him said about how nice he was. I'm like nearly in tears right now and I only just got out of bed half an hour a ago.

Today was going to be such a nice day and now I'm sad cow.

yeah it's pretty sad :/ I did not even know he was depressed. I don't think most people did.



The excuse of "I can't pay you because I have depression so please do it for free" is so idiotic I feel stupider for reading it. So stupid infact I just copied and pasted it from my Tumblr.

Are mental illnesses a good reason not to pay someone now? Does this mean I can use my Aspergers to get free things now? :/

Ohhh my friend started ranting on Facebook about how she just found out there was a 'sword' Pokémon and how they're 'running out of ideas'. Oh I love gen wunners. Thinking that Pokémon like Muk or Voltorb had more originality than Honedge. Oohh dear... Personally I think that some of the recent gens had better, more original looking Pokémon than half of the older generations did. I'm in love with Pokémon like Sylveon, Braixen and some of the legendaries from generation 5 I'd pick in an instant over Pokémon like Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno. Sure people are entitled to their opinions, but stating that Honedge is 'unoriginal' and that the first generation was 'so much more original'... People who say this really need to think it through before they say it.

Also I'm pretty sure she said it in a group chat with me in it because she knows I'm a big fan of the X and Y series soooo...

Also 'I knew they were running out of ideas'. dsfnjksfndsjkfs. That one gets me the most. Yes. They're running out of ideas. With MILLIONS of people still buying the games. Yes, clearly running out of ideas there. *Strokes my Sylveon softly* There, there, it'll be okay. Gen wunners have NO IDEA what they're on about.

I love people who bitch about them running out of ideas for Pokemon. Have they stared at Diglett for more than two minutes? It's a lump. A literal brown lump just stuck into the ground, that's it. And that little frick has been around since early gen.

Don't get me wrong, I love 1st gen, but yeah...my friends complain about the newer Pokemon all the time...yeah, there are a few lame ones but Magneton isn't exactly AWESOME either. 3 magnets stuck together, each with an eyeball?? really??

I think Magneton is 100 times better then Honedge XD I'm not too fond of a lot of the X/Y designs.

Each generation has it's share of awesomes and derps. But to say 'they're running out of ideas'... No. Just no.

I find the term "Gen wunners/oners" to be stupid.

I'm not a fan of Gen4 and up. I do like the first gen pokemon better. Even the 'badly designed' ones. For a while I thought it was the whole 'running out of ideas'.. But then I thought for a moment and was like 'Well no.. They're making dumb choices is all. Plus there are TOO DAMN MANY OF THEM NOW!'
So yeah. I don't like how many of them there are now. It was great when there was like a couple hundred.. But now it's getting a bit silly.

This doesn't mean that I dont like any of the new ones. I do still pick and choose a few ones I enjoy. Purugly, for example, is a Badass. Emboar is pretty cool too. Noivern might as well have become my favorite pokemon, which is something I've never really had. So yeah. I'm not 100% against it.

HOWEVER. I will say that because they made a 'God' legendary, I've always kinda been like "LOLUFUCKEDUPNOWGJ"
Nothing tops God. What were you thinking.

I didn't much like Honedge at first, but he and his first evolution really grew on me. Still don't really care for his final evo, but 2 outta 3 isn't bad. I love a lot of the rest of X/Y too, there are only a few I don't care for, but it isn't a bad generation at all! One of my favorites, at least.

Now if only I could find my DS, I'd be playing it X_x

X&Y turned me off because they fucked up my favorite pokemon with that sausage dick thing they call 'mega evolution'. Ew. Just no. Leave my mewtwo alone. and I wish they'd stop making like 5+ legendaries per generation. I think they're missing the point of 'legendaries/rares'. Means there's not supposed to be 20 of them.

Yeah I agree with Junrei about the legendaries, too damn many of them now and they don't feel 'legendary' at all. Especially that 'fight' with Xerneas/Yveltal... What the hell was that?! It's made so that you have to win. You throw a Pokéball and it's the easiest thing you've ever caught in the game. Legendaries aren't legendary anymore. My favourite three legendaries will always be Entei, Raikou and Suicune, the legendary beasts. Personally I think they're better than Moltres, Zapdos and Articuno, but it's all down to opinion. I also don't like Mewtwo. But just because I didn't like the first gen's legendaries doesn't mean it's 'the worst most unoriginal gen eva'. I just didn't care for them. Each gen has it's charms. Personally, the 4th one was the worst, but even then I love Purugly, Shinx, Floatzel and the two new Eeveelutions so there's at least a few from each gen I can appreciate. But then there's Arceus. Fuck off.

And besides, the sixth gen gave me my beloved Sylveon, I could never hate it. ♥
