It's a bit of a change of topic, but meh... Today me and a few other guys watched one of our friends playing through the Lavos boss fight for the first time. We had all gone through it at some point prior, so it was difficult to restrain the laughter as he learned all of the boss' quirks the hard way. ![]() He had a party that was decently prepared for it though, so he managed to get through on the first try. |

Wait, there are people who get through the final boss fight of games on the first try? Shoot, I must really suck at it, and by suck I mean not level up when I feel the end is near. In other news, the elite 4 own me in Saphire. Repeatedly. In the face. I have a plan to use a pokemon without a face to avoid this. Mabey that plant fossil type, or Mawhile. |
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.

Who was your starter? From level 55 or so up, Blaziken can solo the Elite Four (with some Hyper Potions, anyway) |

Treeko. I have beaten the dark type trainer, only to loose right afterwards. |

Just really well-equipped and lucky, I guess. He had a bunch of powerful healing items with him as well, but never really used them. Marle's cure spells were sufficient. It was also the first time I've seen the dual tech "Antipode 3" in action. Dear God, that thing's insanely powerful. O_O As for all this Pokemon talk, bah, I haven't played it at all since the Gold/Silver installments in the series, and only appreaciated R/B/Y.

Ah, it's been too long since I played Ru/Sa... Yeah, it's probably best to just level a bit, and come back later. Preferably with a full stock of Hyper Potions/Revives. |

YES! BITE ME, GATE GUARDIAN! YOUR ASS JUST GOT KICKED BY YOURS TRULY! And don't think I didn't notice you either, Don Zaloog! Or you, Ojama Trio! And let's not forget XYZ, either! Yeah, I did the more difficult challenges today. Gate Guardian was....tricky, to say the least. Made the others seem easy by comparison. |

There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote. Everyday I'm tumbl'n. "This bitch is makin' me all Paru..." ~Hang in There, Kogasa-san! | |

Some context for the magic players. Gate Guardian is a card with obscenely powerful attacking and defensive capabilities. However, its effect prohibits it being played through any means other than its own effect. Which requires you sacrifice three very specific cards, each of which is difficult to play under normal circumstances. Imagine a monster that requires rather a lot of mana. Now keep that card on the field. Multiply that difficulty by three. That is just about the uselessness factor of Gate Guardian. |

Okay, this might be more difficult than I thought...Considering the vast differences between the games. The three monsters that make up the guardian have a really, really powerful one time effect: Reduce the attack of a monster attacking this monster to 0. And they have very competent attack and defence to start with. The problem lies in how they have to be summoned to the field. In YGO, monsters can only be summoned once a turn, and these three (normally, there are ways arond this) require destroying two monsters already on your side of the field to summon. Also, you need Guardian in your hand at the same time you have those three on the field. Otherwise, it's complete dead weight. Don't know how that would translate to magic. Oh well. |

It equates like this http://www.findmagiccards.com/Cards/LG/Chromium.html see this guy, you pay an insane cost to get him out and he does very little except smash stuff with no real ability (rampage sucks big time) now look at this http://www.findmagiccards.com/Cards/LG/Nicol_Bolas.html same costs and whatnot but comes with a very impressive ability that has the potential to screw someone up unless they take care of it now, if they can't it is devistating. for its costs the GG should be the second guy, you deal with him NOW or you might not get the chance, instead he is the first dangerous but does nothing but smash face. |

That seems about right, really. I mean, it's easier to reach GGs level of attack with equips. Like United we Stand or Mage Power. If Guardian had some sort of ability to protect itself from being destroyed, it would be worth a look...but all it does is sit there with way above average attack. |

When I played Xenosaga 1 I was levelbuilding Momo for the first time since the last time I was forced to use her. She was also in a swimming suit (for the tech points I swear!). That boss was easy if you ask me but I know people who had problems with it. |

Bwahahahaha... *KH1 spoilers?* I just watched someone try to take down Sephy in KH1, at level 60, equipped with Oblivion, after becoming overconfident from getting through Hades Cup on the first try. That was quite amusing. :lol: |

Dunno why you spoiler text'd something from a five year old game, not to mention something that pretty much everybody already knows. ![]() Nevertheless, yeah, I'm fairly certain that happened to *everyone* who's ever played KH to the end. |

Eh, just playing it safe. Personally, I hadn't played it before watching that, so technically it was new to me at least.

Even easier if you go second, play Cyber Dragon and sacrifice him for Great Maju Garzett. Congratulations you now have a 4200 attack monster! |
