So Washington and Colorado legalized pot. But Oregon? We said no. That's funny considering you can't walk through Ashland or Portland without smelling a giant cloud of pot smoke.
Not that I care, I wouldn't smoke it if it were legal, anyway. It just blows that we missed a great tax opportunity...

So, has anybody been playing Pokémon Black/White 2?
I keep thinking it's lazily done, but then I remember that much more effort went into it than into any previous third versions.
Played and beaten it. Compared to the first games, there is a lot more to do, both before and after the Elite 4. However, while I thought the little Movie minigame was interesting and fun, it was rather shallow and unrewarding except for early game, where you could rack up Lemonades without spending a dime. The story was pretty good, though it didn't have the twist at the end like Black and White.
The metagame in B/W2 is easily my favourite so far. There are more TM's and move tutor moves in this game than any of the others, and my biggest gripe about B/W was addressed in the sequel -- the battle trains are far more rewarding, issuing 3bp per train defeated rather than only one, so grinding for the EV items and Swords Dance aren't nearly as agitating.
I haven't played around in White Forest yet, but Black City had a major overhaul. Instead of only getting a handful of trainers to battle which slowly increases every day that you play in succession, you get a battle tower where you receive exp and money, so going through the Elite 4 isn't the only way to make a decent chunk of cash anymore. You have full access to this tower immediately upon arrival, except that you unlock each successive floor by completing the previous.
I also like the inclusion of Union Avenue -- you can have people that you have passed by via the wireless communications and people with whom you have traded or battled over the internet join your Avenue to set up shops. The item shop is a particular favourite of mine, as, after leveling it a bit, you are able to buy stacks of 12 of the stat-increasing items for cheaper than you would in any other shop, as well as Ethers.
I would have to say that this is my second favourite Pokemon game, right behind HeartGold/SoulSilver. The fact that your lead Pokemon following you was taken out still bugs me.
As for what I've been playing lately, though? Harvest Moon: A New Life. They took a few steps back in this game but they were steps that the franchise desperately needed.

Not to take a dump on the thread, but I really hate crappy posts like this.

I used to be adamant about my goatee, but in the past year, I've happily done away with it. There have been a couple times where I have gotten incredibly lazy and let my entire neckbeard flourish, though. I just shaved my last one off this morning.

Yeah man, this thread stinks. What is this shit? You may think your comedy is #1, but you clearly just pulled it out of your ass, or at best found it written in a bathroom stall. I suggest you go toot your own horn somewhere else. This is a forum, not a college farthouse.
Sorry for being anal, but I consider it my doody to flush crappy jokes down to the bowels of hell and wipe the smile clean off the asshole who dumped them on us all. This is like the turd time today some stinker has tried to give me the runs-around with their toilet jokes, and I just can't hold it in anymore. You little shits need to get off your thrones and sharten up.
I just hope nobody wasted the paper to print them.
Well, shit.

The new episode(s), while it was decent... it didn't really feel like a good opening to the new season. While the lore/design for the new villain was pretty good, he was ultimately just a plot device. That was really disappointing, considering how awesome Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Chrysalis and the Changelings. I was super excited to see what they had cooked up as the evil-doer, only to see that he had almost no screenplay.
Everything else in it was perfectly fine, however.

When I'm procrastinating studying for my finals, I'm playing a lot of League of Legends.

I like Franklin Gothic Demi. It's simple and easy to read!

I... can't remember. I remember noticing that it was similar to another website that I frequent, but that's about it.

Never much cared for GameSpy, but I'm sad that Star Wars Battlefront 2 will likely no longer be a thing. :/
