The most important thing is to add friends, they provide many benefits. Each day you may go to your neighbor's village and do 5 actions(clear grass, harvest, chop trees) energy free. What I recommended is to chop trees in your friends villages because it saves your energy and sometimes you get multiple pieces of wood.

Also, always have 1 day or 2 day or even 12 hour crops growing, they provide lots of money. Don't be afraid to spent your food for energy meals.

I just started Little Cup and I just love it. If you don't know what Little Cup is and you participate in competitive Pokemon battles, you should. Little Cup is just a standard and rules for battling, kinda like tier, but here are the rules I play by:

* All Pokemon must be level 5.
* Eligible Pokemon are Pokemon that can evolve, but they must be the lowest evolution state, i.e. Pichu is allowed, but not Pikachu.
* Only moves that a Pokemon can learn at or before level 5 are allowed, i.e. egg moves and move tutor attacks are allowed.
* A few Pokemon like Scyther, Yanma, and Sneasel are banned because they are too strong.
* In normal Little Cup, TM and HM moves are allowed, but I don't like this rule, so I don't abide by it.

There are a few facts and suggestions for Little Cup, here are a few:
* You do not necessarily need to put 252 EV's into a stat to max it since we play at level 5. The amount of EV's needed to max a stat depends on the base stat. If the base stat ends in a "3", then 252 EV's are needed to max out the stat(add 4 points to it), but if the stat ends in a "2", then only 180 EV's are needed to max the stat with +4 points. Also, if you want to add just +1 point to a stat that ends in "3", you need only 12 EV's. Here is a quick chart:

• 3 - 12/92/172/252 EVs


• 4 - 4/84/164/244 EVs


• 5 - 76/156/236 EVs


• 6 - 68/148/228 EVs


• 7 - 60/140/220 EVs


• 8 - 52/132/212 EVs


• 9 - 44/124/204 EVs


• 0 - 36/116/196 EVs


• 1 - 28/108/188 EVs


• 2 - 20/100/180 EVs

Here is a Little Cup battle that I did:

I waited months for this game to come out in English because I loved Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor. The story was gripping, the battles was turn based, and your actions really determine your end. I was utterly disappointed by this game, I played about 3 hours of this game before I had to put it down. I kept saying to myself, "remember the 1st game, do it for the epic story."


First off Strange Journey is not turn based, it is a dungeon crawler. At first I was put off by this because I love turn based strategy games, but I swallowed my dislike and continued on. Next I found out that there was on demon action like Devil Survivor, but you must recruit demons by TALKING to them. T-A-L-K-I-N-G, like a full conversation, if your alignment is not right, you cannot even talk to the demon. When I say alignment I mean Dungeon and Dragons alignment, Lawful-good, neutral-chaos, etc.


The part of this game that I hated the most was the conversations because without them, you could not recruit demons. You need to pass 2 rounds of conversation with a demon before you can even attempt to recruit them. If the demon does not like your answer, they will end the conversation and either leave the battle or attack you. Oh, and if they end the conversation, you can't talk to them again in that battle, you must search for them again. If, you answer both questions correctly, and ask them to join you, you must pay them, but they don't only want money. Demon's are greedy little bastards, they will ask for money, then HP, then MP, then money again, and if they're not satisfied, they will ask for one of your recovery items. Complete Bullshit! You should not have to go through all that to get a God Damn Demon!

If they had kept the game turn based and had the demon auction, then the player would had been able to enjoy the story, which started off kind of preachy. Enough of this rant, I feel like playing Devil Survivor again. Off to beat it for the 4th(?) time.

Whenever I hear that a video game or a comic that I like is being made into a live-action movie, I am always excited, but when I actually see the movie, I am left disappointed. Such was the case for Watchmen, Kickass, and that which must not be named, Dragonball Z. However, I was not disappointed when I saw Prince of Persia, I even saw it twice.


Even though the plot of the movie is different to the game, I still liked the movie because the main aspects of the game remained. For instance, all the combat scenes that the prince was in, involved tons of acrobatics. Plus the chemistry between the prince and the princess was similar to the game in that they were constantly arguing until the end, where they realize they love each other, cliche.

The invasion at the beginning of the movie reminded me a lot of Assassin's Creed because of the perch scene. Also, the invasion showed some cool camera angles reminiscent of the game where the player is shown what they need to do to progress. The 1st fight in the invasion between the prince, Dastan, and the royal guardian of the dagger was amazing. I felt like I was watching an HD cutscene from the game.

I was amazed this mourning to find out that the movie can in second to Shrek and only made 37 million. So, I read some reviews from critics and could not understand why so many people dislike the movie. So what is the cast was mostly white? Who did people expect to play the prince, the guy from Slumdog Millionaire (zuko = roflcopter) ? I felt that the cast did a good job, Jake Gyllenhaal was believable as the prince.

Shoddy Battle is the best Pokemon Battle simulator available. It lets you create a team and battle other users on certain tiers. It lets you control every aspect of your team, IV's, EV's, nature, moveset, and more. I will post more about how to use it as soon as I get time.

Deep down I always knew this, I just didn't want to admit it. Raccoons are like little bears on crack. This reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman plays The Coon.

This picture hold more laughs than just that, notice line 4. Raccoons are the brightest people? When did raccoons become people? Also, are raccoons cute? Maybe babies, but not the adult ones, they are dangerous!

A couple of days ago I was bored in one of my classes, so I drafted a map making program. Later that day I said down and wrote part of the code, mainly the foundation (Arrays). Over the next 2 days I worked in my spare time to fix errors and add new features. I wrote about 95% of the code from scratch, I did not know how to import images, so I had to copy a few lines of code.

This program draws a small 10 by 10 map with grass, trees, water, and a little player figure. It moves the player when you press the arrow keys. Also, it allows you to change the name of the player. It displays the current stats of the player and allows the user to save the data.

I am working on a battle system currently. If you would like to see the source code, you can find it at this link: Click Me!

On my way home from school today, I saw this amazing spectacle.

As soon as I came down unto the platform, I heard someone singing, singing very badly I must add. I walked closer to investigate, why? Because I'm a New Yorker. At first glance it just looked like a random drunk guy singing, but at further inspection I came to realize that the guy was homeless.

After a few minutes I came to realize why this homeless guy was singing. He had chicken wings, a whole bunch of them, he was happy.

This really make me think about all the things I have and all the things I have taken for granted. It made me feel is a complete dick.

If you grew up in the 90's, you must have participated in the whole Pokemon vs. Digimon debate. One group said Pokemon was better and Digimon copied it, and the other group talked about how Digimon was copyrighted a year before Pokemon and Pokemon is actually Pocket Monsters. Well, I was a huge Digimon fan before I became a Pokemon fan.

It is clear to see who won that debate, Pokemon. That is why this editor yelling at me right now that Digmon was spelled wrong, but has no problem with the word Pokemon. Nevertheless, I still love Digimon and now that I am older and wiser, I can understand Digimon a lot better now than before. However, with that being said, I don't like Digimon from season 2 onward.

In season two they has this Ty wannabe, Davis, absolutely hated him because he stole T.K's thunder, plus Veemon's voice was annoying. Season 3 was just like season 2, rinse and repeat, but it had Digimon cards.

Super Effective is a comic based off the original Pokemon Red and Blue and written by the same guy that does VG cats. The only problem with this comic is that it is not updated often.

If you are not on the floor laughing after you read this comic, you are either not a Pokemon fan or have a bad sense of humor. Their is even a specific t-shirt for this comic and can be found at this link.

I have thought about how Squirtle uses water gun and it makes sense, but only Gary would think of doing something like this.

You should not judge a book by its cover, you should not judge a musical by its name. At first when a friend of mine told me about this, I was skeptical. My friend tried to convince me that it was awesome, but I doubted him. It took me a couple of weeks before I finally sat down and watched the entire thing and boy was I amazed. It was totally AWESOME!

The title may put a lot of views off, but the musical is not profane and does not have any explicit material; however, it does have some very smart crude jokes. Its creators are the same guys who wrote "A very Potter Musical" and its cast is the same cast from said musical with a couple of new people. Also, if you haven't seen A very Potter Musical, have you been living under a rock?



If you don't like musicals or think they're for chicks, don't fret, the sheer awesomeness of this musical trump all those emotions. The story revolves around a guy name Joey Ricther (Ron from AVPM) and his dick (Volemort from AVPM). If that last sentence hasn't peaked you interest, I don't know what will. But maybe this will, playing second fiddle to Joey is Sally (Ginny from AVPM) and her Ms. Cooter (Cho Chang from AVPM). Yes, you read right, Ms. Cooter.

You can find the entire musical on YouTube, but keep in mind that this musical is intended for viewer over 17.Posted above is only Act 1 Part 1, there is a good bit more. If you are interested in other works by Team Starkid (the creators), here is a link to their site. Click Me.

This is basically what 4Kids did to my favorite anime, One Piece. They removed all the good speeches and replaced it with corny sayings. The voice actors did not fit the character, like they gave the french guy a Brooklyn accent. They replaced the cigarette with a lollipop and removed almost all the blood from the battles.

If you haven't seen One Piece or even read it, you can find anime episodes here or manga chapters here.

This pretty much describes how I choose where to sit in class. Usually I end up in the second row sleeping or slowly falling asleep. I should mention that this diagram does not hold if your professor uses the chalkboard.

I hate attract, it was why Whitney was so hard to defeat, so I have decided to make an entire attract team. In case you don't know, attract is a move that "infatuates" a Pokemon of the opposite gender. Thereby, the Pokemon will be less likely to attack.

An entire team devoted to this move will be difficult to pull off since a lot of Pokemon are genderless (#1 is legendaries), so attract will have no effect on them. I will be making this team to play on the never used to underused tier.

Okay, so my first choice for this team is a fourth generation Pokemon, Lopunny. Lopunny the coveted Klutz ability, which allows for many possibilities. Klutx is an ability that prevents the use of a held item.

Lets take a look at Lopunny's stats:
HP : 65
ATK : 76
DEF : 84
Sp.ATK: 54
Sp.DEF: 96
SPD : 105

Ability: Klutz
Nature: Jolly (+SPD, -Sp.ATK)
Item: Lagging Tail / Flame Orb / Choice Scarf
Moveset:
Attract
Switcharoo
Sweet Kiss (Swagger) / Encore
Return (Last Resort) / Thunder Wave / Double Team

EV's: 252 Speed, 252 HP, 4 Sp.DEF for support
252 Speed, 128 HP, 128 ATK if you choose the Return set.

Even though Lopunny has the ability Cute Charm which does the same thing as attract, but requires physical contact, I chose Klutz. Lopunny does have decent defenses, but I am not willing to take the 30% chance of attract with cute charm.

The item that you chose depends on your moveset and what you want Lopunny to do. If you choose Return instead of thunder wave, then Lagging tail will be useful. Personally, i would go with flame orb with return. however, if you choose thunder wave, a choice item will be very useful, you could go with choice band or specs if you don't want to use choice scarf.

If you good at predicting your opponents next move or know the meta-game well, encore may be more useful than sweet kiss for you. Also, not that choice band + sweet kiss is awesome. Choice band will double your opponents attack and sweet kiss will confuse them, but if your opponent hurts itself in confusion, it will do tons of damage. Aslo, if you want more confusion damage, instead of sweet kiss, use swagger.

I wish I had learned Pythagoreans theorem like this, would have been better at math.

This question is written in Korean, so if you know the language, can you please translate this. I would love to actually solve this problem, but I don't know what I need to find. The drawings look very good and are reminiscent of old school mangas.

Things you should know:

• W, width is the long width of the source or the drain. L, length is the length of the gate.

Mosfet Biasing:

• Fix Vgs.
• Add resistor to source.

Channel Length Modulation:

• Va = 1/x,
  
• Id = (1/2) * k * (W/L) * (Vgs - Vt)^2 * (1+ xVds)

All this was useless, the exam was only two questions.
Question 1:
Design an Amplifier for a circuit with the given conditions:

• Gain = Vo / Vi = 50
• Zin = 10k
• Load Resistance = 3k

Question 2:
Three circuits about stuff... can't really remember.
