    That said, VGC is doubles which is a whole other animal- also they only ban the bigtime legends usually (except this time around they banned anything that's not acquired in kalos itself which is so many kinds of stupid)

    The first time I played 3 (which I should really get back to at some point) I did that one town with like a billion landmines. I took a potshot from a mile away and watched the place just vanish.

    Good god, smogon. I liked the ban of Genesect. I could accept the bans of Mega Blaziken and Gengar. I tolerated mega Kangaskhan's ban. But fucking baton pass? That's moronic. in other news I'm convinced the Battle Maison sets up teams intentionally to deal with your lead. I'm running Dragonite as a lead and I've run into four rock-type starters in a row.

    I'm very intrigued the more I look at Diancie. 50/100/150/100/150/50 is nothing to sneeze at, and its only big weakness defensively is steel.

      SPUF will be SPUF

      You just have to deal with it and ignore those threads

      Or you could just not go there, I'm considering that TBH

      bigSpuf is utter crap nowadays. Too many shitelords who think they are above everyone else just because they got called up for a Highlander/6v6 match once. That, and I am honestly surprised how many post some shitposters have. Seems that the mods only rule is to not allow any fun threads, only endless bickering over nothing.

    As of XY EVs are limited to 252 per stat. It's amusing how the crit-cancel abilities are all on pokemon who have better ones.

    Apparently the movie was intended to be the ending, they just had the budget of "lunch money" by episode 24. And then the (aggravating) Rebuild movies have the budget of Belgium.

    So my newest Showdown team got the first five opponents it faced to ragequit. And it's won the next six since, three of those by another ragequit. I'm in shock. (it lost on #12)

    They're finally sending me a thing to send it in for repair. Downside: no Steam until I get it back.

    My ongoing laptop woes

    Disclaimer: this is about 80% venting. So back in October, my laptop (macbook pro 2010 model) began experiencing kernel panics a few times a week. For those unaware, kernel panic is (at least for me) the computer randomly restarting with utterly no discernible cause. At the time, I took it to an Apple store, they did a diagnostic test, and everything indicated that, bafflingly, nothing was wrong with my computer. Shortly after, I noticed that they only seemed to happen when I was running Microsoft Word. I switched to an opensource word processor and everything stopped crashing. Until mid-late February, when they resurfaced with a vengeance. Once a day at best. Come spring break, and I took it to an Apple store again. (I should note that when I'm at campus, the closest apple store is 50 miles away, leaving the only feasible times to go to an actual store as when I'm on break) Same diagnostics, same result. Yesterday afternoon, it happened two times in five minutes. And a third time while I was talking with a tech support guy on the phone. His idea was to see if it was hardware or software, by creating a fresh user account on the laptop and using it for a day before calling back. And it crashed twice on that account. When I called his extension, I got voicemailed. Twenty more minutes with tech support later, the latest idea was reset PRAM. Tried that about three hours ago, used normally before a followup call from them. It hadn't crashed in that time, so basically they said "keep the number, if it happens again call back." Literally a minute after that phone call it crashed again. I quit. I'm going to walk to radio shack tomorrow, buy a shitty $200 netbook to get me through the rest of the semester, and then I'm throwing this thing into the campus pond. (okay probably not the pond bit, but that's how I feel) So does anyone have any ideas about kernel panic? I'm this close to asking for a lift to a store fifty fucking miles away just so I can physically throw this laptop at the Genius Bar.
