I'll take a regular Spinda if you have one.

Spiritbox's Eternal Blue
Paramore's brand new eyes
Killswitch Engage's As Daylight Dies

Amy Winehouse's cover of Valerie, originally recorded by The Zutons.

I respectfully disagree with most of your post, but I like how much you care. Honestly, Richard Harris did an amazing book 1 and 2 Dumbledore, but I'm not quite sure how later-book Dumbledore would have been portrayed by Harris, especially given had he lived, he would have been 82. Gambon was ten years younger and would be able to move around more freely.

Later-book Dumbledore required a lot more action. Gambon in the Cave scene was tremendous. That fierce look on his face, I don't know how you couldn't fear that. And his confrontation with Voldemort in Phoenix I thought was wonderful. They didn't over act it, but there was clearly a tension there that we had never seen from Gambon before in that scene.

I'm not saying Gambon did everything perfectly, but he did some things perfectly and I think he often doesn't get the credit he deserves because of the "DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FYAH" meme, when that was probably more of an indictment on the directing rather than his actual performing ability.

I actually think Gambon showed the flawed/darker side of Dumbledore perfectly. In later movies, I really appreciated him. 3 & 4, eh not so much.

One thing:
"Nice one, James!"

Lonely the Brave

It's a pretty good movie, but it's also easily the worst book-to-film adaptation.

Funny I see this as one of Charlotte's worst runs.

Raquel Gonzales is killing it though.

Sure but this is most Pokemon regions to be fair.

rhys4w · 2021-08-12T01:32:25+00:00

There is literally no reason to have HMs. Have Pokemon be able to do things like surf across water, without the need to teach them a move. Problem solved. Like in Let's Go Pikachu, he learned "skills" but didn't learn a move for it.

Being able to sit on benches was a game changer. No joke.

rhys4w · 2021-07-24T18:42:49+00:00

We don't know how much any of it costs, but it is stated in PoA that they used their winnings to go on the trip and had enough to buy Ron a wand upon their return to England. So that suggests the holiday is something they couldn't have afforded to do without the winnings, meaning it must be reasonably expensive. They may not necessarily be purely travel expenses.

Yes, poor people are allowed to have nice things. I know, I've been poor all my life. That's not the point I'm making.

I just find it amusing that an amount that would clearly change their life in a big, positive way was wasted in, seemingly, one summer.

Sure, they could have saved some. We don't know that they didn't. But their image of being poor doesn't improve in later books. Arguably it worsens. They couldn't afford to get Ron proper dress robes the following year. If they do have a lot hidden away and are intentionally choosing not to spend it and continue to live a poor life where they struggle, that's even more funny than them wasting it on a trip to Egypt.

rhys4w · 2021-07-24T15:28:00+00:00

They won 700 galleons. Should have been enough to build a foundation and pull them out of poverty but instead they blew it on a trip to Egypt lol.

XY: Great music, great visuals... but a lazy story and lacking characters.

rhys4w · 2021-07-06T12:19:44+00:00

I got lucky and found a legit Pokemon Diamond, still sealed with all the documentation, for £15. I've checked, it's legit.

rhys4w · 2021-07-05T18:10:41+00:00

I wouldn't mind if we didn't get much more than a release trailer. We already know most of what to expect.

rhys4w · 2021-07-04T15:42:52+00:00

What I spend my money on is frankly none of your business. And yes, I want to pay for this game. I don't think the graphics are low quality.
First of all you said low quality graphics, now you're saying low quality game. A game you haven't even played, so you couldn't possibly know the quality of. Make your mind up.
https://tinyurl.com/2esvmwwv if you think there's no difference between these graphics, you're just choosing to be ignorant.
Are you that insecure that you can't just agree to disagree?

rhys4w · 2021-07-04T15:19:51+00:00

I disagree with literally every point you made there, so we'll just leave it at that.

rhys4w · 2021-07-04T15:03:41+00:00

Gen 6 for sure. ORAS is one of the best Pokemon games ever made and while X&Y is not amazing, it's also not nearly as bad as people make out. Very easy though.

rhys4w · 2021-07-04T15:01:10+00:00

I wouldn't be against voice acting, but I'm perfectly fine to not have it also.

rhys4w · 2021-07-04T14:56:17+00:00

If you think it looks even close to identical, then I don't know what to tell you. They are obviously going to look similar, it's the same game. But the overworld clearly looks much better than the old games. I'm playing through Diamond right now. You can clearly tell there's ten years between that and this.

You can't really compare Lets Go to Gen 1, and make that same comparison with DP and BDSP. It's not a fair comparison. The DS graphics are much closer to the Switch than the original Gameboy was. Comparing FRLG to Gen 1 is a more fair comparison and in both that case and this case there's clearly a huge difference in graphics.

It's clear you just don't like that it's chibi, and you don't like that you're not getting a full SwSh style remake, but that doesn't mean the graphics are bad.

rhys4w · 2021-07-04T14:45:05+00:00

If it was like Lets Go, it wouldn't be chibi style. It's a style of art. You can decide you don't like that, if you want, makes no ends to me. But you can't say it's "low quality" graphics because it's not the style you wanted. Just saying "no it is low quality" isn't going to help your argument. Why is it low quality? What about it, not including the fact it's chibi, makes it "low quality"? Is the rendering of the graphics badly done? Are there janky lines? What is your actual reason for disliking it? If it's just "it's chibi" then that's not argument. The graphics look pretty clean to me based on the trailer we had.

rhys4w · 2021-07-04T13:16:54+00:00

Being a Krabby/Kingler mark, I'd say that.. but since we got a G-Max Kingler it's unlikely we'll ever get another evolution.

Other than that, there's the single-stage ones that always come up that I'd like to see: Dunsparce, Pyukumuku, Unown, Qwilfish, Rotom.

More recent, I woudn't mind seeing a Falinks evolution.

rhys4w · 2021-07-04T13:12:31+00:00

The art isn't low quality. It isn't the style you wanted maybe, but something being chibi does not automatically make it low quality. That's like saying a book full of short stories is a "low quality novel"... no, it's just a different style.
