WEEKLY ROUND-UP! 11/18-11/24/12!

WEEKLY ROUND-UP PRESENTS

I don't feel hated...but I do feel the futility of training a Rattata to Lvl 100

YOUNGSTER JOEY WEEK!

7. WORD OF THE DAY! 11/20/12. Bottom Dog. 

I think Pokemon's Youngster Joey gets mocked a lot, but I think a lot of us were like Joey as a kid or a new kid like him. Don't you remember that kid that didn't have any friends and always tried to impress you with something that wasn't that impressive? Joey is that kid.

6. WORD OF THE DAY! 11/20/12. Chekhov's Gun.

The effective "Chekhov's Gun" is called "seeding". It involves dropping hints or setting a precedent in an early scene of a narrative to set up an event later on in the piece.

5. WTF WED. PARODY PARODY PARODY!

I've been watching a lot of animated shorts on Youtube lately...

4. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/24/12. Brohoof.

On a similar note to this "word of the day", I gotta admit that while other fandoms are less desperate to accrue more fans for their fandom, that there are equally obnoxious fandoms that I'm a part of, as well as being a brony. P.S. Ponies gonna PWN and Bronies gonna BRON!

3. MUSICAL MON. LO PAN STYLE (GANGNAM STYLE PARODY)!

"Needle Love, in your arm I must shove/
Then maybe baby we can prove that I am flesh and blood/
Six demon bag, Egg Shen you shouldn't have/
I drank your peasant magic portion and it made me gag and take a $h!7." -Lo Pan Style

2. WORD OF THE DAY! 11/23/12. Donut/Doughnut.

Letting you guys know that Zach Martin and I recorded a new podcast and should have it up sometime in like the next week or so. We discussed anime localization, for your pleasure.

1. MIXED BAG. REVIEW. HALO 4

I really am not sure how I feel about the end of Halo, guys. But the experience made an emotional connection with me and any video game that does that deserves my affection. Unless it just makes me angry/frustrated/disappointed. I'm looking at YOU, Warren Specter! You sold me Epic Mickey and your words turned out to be so wrong that I gotta think you were delusional about the quality of the title. I'll just play my 2-D Mickey Mouse games on SNES and Dreamcast, thank you.

WORD OF THE DAY! 11/20/12.

bottom dog [bot-uhm-dawg]
noun
1. A person of low status; an underdog.

EX. I know that Joey is literally the lowest of the low and bottom dog of the Pokemon world, but things can change. For all you know, he managed to defeat the Elite Four with a team of Raticates....but I doubt it.

MUSICAL MON! LIAM NEESON: THE MUSICAL!

MUSICAL MONDAY PRESENTS

LIAM NEESON: THE MUSICAL

Oh boy, I don't even know if I can handle this one; last featured back at the end of July, with the Expendables Musical, the Kaplan Bros. have managed to bring us something that mixed nerd-baiting and film fan excitement by celebrating the career of Liam Neeson. A man of a hundred roles, most involving saving a girl from getting kidnapped or being a vaguely respectable demi-god figure, but nonetheless he has been in at least a half-dozen genre films in the last decade from the abysmal Phantom Menace to the Nolan Batman series. I hope you guy's enjoy and subscribe.

I'd like to know how you guys feel about Neeson, because admittedly I have pretty neutral feelings about him; so tell me what you like about him, don't like about him, etc. And, if you like him, give me an example of your favorite Liam Neeson film. Speaking of which...

BONUS VIDEOS: SCHINDLER'S LIST: THE MUSICAL ACT I (Liam Neeson)

SCHINDLER'S LIST: THE MUSICAL ACT II (Ralph Fiennes)

WORD OF THE DAY! 9/25/12.

House [hous]
noun
1. A building in which people live, a residence for human beings.
2. (often first letter capitalized) A family including ancestors and descendants.
3. A building for any purpose.
4. A theater, concert hall, or auditorium.

EX. I wonder what the other Houses of Kanto would be? I'd assume Ketchum, Oak, and maybe Rocket? Lemme see if I can get their mottos: Ketchum would be "Do you have clean underwear?" or "Gotta Catch 'Em All!" (obviously) , Oak "What was the motto of our clan again?" or "Smell ya later!" and as for House Rocket, "Surrender now or prepare to fight" or "Blasting off again".

Also, remember, "The next generation is coming."

WORD OF THE DAY! 1/31/12

percentage [per-sent-ij]
noun
1.a rate or proportion per hundred.
2. an allowance, a commission, or rate of interest calculated by the percent.
3. a proportion in general.
4. gain; benefit; profit

EX. "It's like my Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattatas."-Youngster Joey, Pokemon Gold & Pokemon Silver

FUN FACT #321 Youngster Joey was the first named trainer in the Pokemon series, besides gym leaders, the Elite Four, a couple of NPCs (who didn't fight), and your rival.
