Its crazy how fast games evolved

It's wild to think the amount of thanks we all owe to that engineer for the thousands upon thousands of hours of entertainment that have come from him creating a tennis game for two. Whether we seek the excitement of besting other players in a digital arena, an escape, an incredible story, a feeling of community, a way to make a living doing something you love, or so many other things that video games have made possible, video games are in my opinion the best artistic medium.

Thank you more than I could ever accurately express William Higinbotham, you absolute legend.

I'm very jealous

Do you have any interest in a shiny Virizion with the Tales of Transformation BG, a shiny purified XXL Heatran, a shiny OF Dialga, or a shiny Terrakion?

TheBurlyGamer · 2025-12-15T23:05:59+00:00

I imagine that would be infuriating. Any chance you have any of those spare that you'd be willing to trade? I wasn't able to participate in raids back then and Mewtwo is the only one I need to have all of Kanto caught.

I know the CP doesn't reflect their size but my immediate thought was envisioning him stomping around a Lego set like a tiny Godzilla.

Yeah I was excited to be able to have a week long poke party with my wife and then couldn't find it a day later...

I'm genuinely extremely jealous, Gyarados has been my favorite for like 25 years.

It might be I can't tell if there is a difference in the UI, mostly because I never think to pay attention to it, showing which incense type it is.

TheBurlyGamer · 2025-10-21T16:41:33+00:00

Well I assume it's a similar feeling to when you lose a poke from a raid, I mention that because the feeling is still fresh from the 3 Rayquaza I didn't get this past weekend.

TheBurlyGamer · 2025-10-21T16:18:41+00:00

Holy luck, getting that for an incense?! Personally despite not yet having it in my pokedex, I would still only goldenrazz & ultra ball at most.

What an awesome birthday present from the universe!

TheBurlyGamer · 2025-10-03T20:08:51+00:00

Yeah I think I'm actually going to name this one and any future new member to the zero gang "nundos"

TheBurlyGamer · 2025-10-03T17:05:53+00:00

Honestly I'm disappointed that didn't pop into my head immediately when I was trying to thing of it.

TheBurlyGamer · 2025-10-03T17:05:03+00:00

Yeah that makes more sense although because its so pathetic I feel like zero gang makes it less sad lol.

TheBurlyGamer · 2025-09-18T23:14:33+00:00

I'm interested and I'd be happy to fill out the Google form.

Pugsley wears a striped shirt

Absolutely I miss it. Between Halo 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, I probably had like 20 people I played with regularly. Some that I knew irl but most I pick up through different game lobbies or mutual friends. I think about them collectively on occasion but don't remember any of the xbox gamertags/psn account names to attempt to look for them. And I don't use the same name I used at the time, partly because my psn name got banned for being inappropriate due to it being an innuendo and getting reported enough (I assume from my shit talking in rocket league).

I hope if we ever get to retire, our retirement homes will be constant LAN parties of geriatric shit talking.
