Sadly true, I find the pc-look worms far more easy to remember myself, although I spent several weeks playing it on amiga. Problem with amiga worms' "identity" was they weren't stylized well enough. Lemmings were only a few pixels too but the characters were very well made since the early days.

Post subject: C64/Amiga
There seems to be alot of posts saying we can't use certain icons becuase they appered on the C64 first. What everyone has failed to realise is that they are both Commodore computers.
So what you are saying would mean that Sonic is not a Master System Icon, becuase he first appeared on the Megadrive. Or look at Mario, he fist appeared on an Arcade machine in Donkey Kong, saying that it was a Nintendo machine still.
Anyway, just thought I'd point this out

Because Amiga is an entity of it's own and can't be categorized as a "commodore machine" like sms or genesis are categorized as "sega". The reason is: it's the way it IS. I don't know if nintendo can do this but mega drive is really an advanced master system that can run master system games with a converter. Maybe all the necessary hardware is within the converter and mega drive is unrelated internally but this doesn't matter, practically it's a plug and play process. master system games had this line on their boxes after the release of mega drive "compatible with master system, master system 2 and mega drive with master system converter". Now this is a corporate strategy. Designing and releasing mega drive after master system and releasing games in similar boxes with similar manual and altering the already availavle identity. (black boxes instead of white etc) then making the old games compatible too. All these facts create a public opinion and leads to the result as defining both systems as "Sega" Such a thing was never the case with C64 and Amiga. In fact amiga was never considered as commodore's "next 64" partly because it wasn't designed internally. nintendo was mostly popular in us, mass manufactured and sold, even though there is much difference between say, nes and snes they are, for average guy newer and older "nintendos". They were known with the brand name. This happens on some products like Xerox for the photocopier but commodore never achieved this, doubtful that ever tried and now we are being ignorant suggesting a "never made mistake to be officialized" For me sms and mega drive shouldn't be called commonly as sega too but this concept is already available now, it's in our minds BUT it's not right so we absolutely shouldn't spread this to other systems.
Besides C64 was never a 8bit alternative to sega or nintendo as much as Amiga was an alternative to it's console rivals. I know many people like C64 here so I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but that kind of categorization hurts mine. Another reference to that casette driven alien and I'll puke.

Okay, I was going to ignore this topic, because it seems obvious that machines that have icons (like NES, Seggae and so on), generally are
remembered for these usually crappy games.
I admit, that I caught the Mario bug for a while, but the fact is that it is a shitty game. Also, for a while Alex Kidd was going to be the Sega Icon, but since the games were awful with a capital Z, he got dumped.
If I were to elect an Icon, it would be Turrican, because I bought my amiga on the basis of it. Sure, it turned up on the Commy first, but so what? For me it is the quintessance of at least part of the appeal of the Amiga gaming scene. Beautiful graphics and sound with a non-console feel of play, not infinite credits and easy gaming (NES games are ridiculously easy), but again, it does not for me cover all of amiga gaming.
The same reason applies for lemmings, it doesn't cover the entire amiga feel, only a very small part of it. Whereas Mario and Sonic basically scream,
"This is it...All nintendo and sega games are going to feel like this, even if they aren't platformers."
Do you really want the amiga to be remembered for only one thing?
If you spell Kim Lemon backwards you get "Nomel Mik", it doesn't really mean anything but I just thought you should be aware of it

Oh dear oh dear, someone said something very wrong. Mario games are not shite in any way and as much as I love the Amiga and it's games, and absolutely love Sonic games, I can't deny the fact that the mario games are and were the best 2D platformers ever made. The control scheme is perfect for a start (which I cannot say for Superfrog which falls short because of it's finnicky nature, same goes for Zool), the sheer amount of variety and the clear genius that has gone into creating the mario series (especially mario world - possibly the best platformer of all time - only in my opinion of course).
It's not shit by any means, even if you don't like it, it doesn't make it shit. And If you think the Megadrive and SNES will only be remembered for their aforementioned icons then you are sorely mistaken (I won't go into what else they'll be remembered for because this message would be half a mile long). And to say that all Megadrive/SNES games are essentially sonic/mario games with different skins then I REEEALLY think you've got some anti-console/pro-amiga thing going on. Just take a step back and try to have an objective view rather than the clear bias you are showing right now.
The thing with an icon is it need to have instant recognition with the public, I don't think the Amiga has that with any game because it was never in the public eye like the competing consoles where. I know from hundreds of documentaries how they look back at the history of gaming and completely miss out systems like the Amiga (probably because if they mentioned everything then the show would span 16 months) but mainly because they don't feature so promenent in gaming as consoles do. Not sure where to tie this rant up so I'll fade out now...
How the hell Nintendo managed to get a fat, short, plumber into a worldwide phenomenon is quite bizzare but I'll let them have it.
Oh and Burseg, the megadrive had all the innards of the master system already inside it, it could run the games from that, the converter was only needed to make it so master system games could be plugged in (more or less)

I personally never quite got the mario bug, or saw the appeal, but millions of other ppl did, so my hat goes off to Nintendo
Sonic I loved (and still do) and I play it with my 6 and 4yr old sons on the megadrive regularly (I also get my ass kicked on Fifa2004 on the XBox by my 6yr old, but thats another story).
The Amiga was BIG in the UK, but it was never marketed and promoted properly by commodore. If the CD32 was promoted and advertised properly it might have succeeded (I just contradicted myself here!!!)
Anyway lets face reality, the Amiga is now dead, the megadrive is dead and the Snes is dead but Mario and Sonic still live on...... what part of Amiga lives on.. and yes as Lion-o states, the icons are relative to the companies not the machines!!
so my Amiga Icon is now either the Chicken head or the A !!!!

I play a lot of games on a lot of different systems and Amiga is not my favourite system. I
objective. And in this objective frame of mind, I still say the mario games are less than wonderful. This is my opinion and you have yours. I find the controls far from perfect due to the ugly and sometimes unpredictable inertia system involved.
Yes, Nintendo managed to bring a fat plumber into the world, but amiga gave the world many many games and genres that don't have entire sites dedicated to crappy flash animations of the main characters getting killed in provocative and usually imaginative ways.

Nobody has really mentioned Xenon 2: Megablast - as far as I'm aware was this on any other formats? ( possibly ST )
The Bitmap Brothers and Sensible Software will be remembered fondly by all AMiga users
I also think the Cinemaware games will be
What about Geoff Crammond's racing games?
And of course Peter Molyneux games ( Populous, Syndicate, etc )
The Pinball Dreams/Fantasies & Illusions games
Kick Off, love it or hate it - really got the ball rolling for soccer sims on the Amiga, long before Sensi Soccer. What about that logo as an image to remember from the Amiga - that piccy from Kick Off 2 - with the player on his kness! CLASSIC

I've been told that FSU/Clemson fans can SMILE this weekend. Very well could be the movement we have waited for since the new BCS system has been agreed upon and ND is licking the spit out of the Big 12's mouth right now. Lets hope at least.
If you're happy with good enough, then good enough is what you'll be. Greatness requires the expectation of excellence.
I think we found the realignment sources. They are pictured on this message board thread about 4 posts down…
Ted Striker: "My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar." Elaine Dickinson: "When will you be back?" Ted Striker: "I can't tell you that. It's classified." - Airplane! (1980)

It is not heaven on earth and angels are not running the show. Logic is your friend. We cannot all be students of logic but we should at least strive to be a casual fan. GMOs are banned in 50 countries, we cannot even get them labeled as we continue to dance with the elephant in the room. With each new dog and pony show we dance the dance like we were the homecoming queen.
Never let go, promise me!

MaKey MaKey kit turns everyday objects into actual computer controllers (video)
Fruit, Play-Doh, paper, humans, anything that can conduct the slightest electrical current can now be transformed into fully working gaming controllers with the aid of the MaKey MaKey Everyday Invention Kit.
Short for "Make anything a Key", the MaKey MaKey kit consists of a circuit board, seven crocodile clips, seven connection cables and a USB lead. By plugging the board into a computer via the USB lead, everyday objects can miraculously be turned into touch-sensitive keys by hooking them up via the crocodile clips.
As the video below demonstrates, MaKey MaKey works with pretty much anything, including bananas, a staircase and even people. The kit is compatible with more than five million software apps, including games, PowerPoint, Garage Band, Photobooth and websites such as YouTube on both Macs and Windows PCs.
Bananas sold separately.

I'm just confused on what you mean right installation position. Can you elaborate more on that?
And I'll check on that hard drive slot. Now about the clip, what exactly am I looking for? If the pins are connecting properly on the motherboard? It seems that there is no "true" snap for it so it won't move so I applied some tape to make sure it won't move.
Ok so I've looked at the flasher part that is inserted into the slot where the HDD goes. It's snug so I know it should be able to connect. So I'm confused on where the problem could be.

text: As blue-collared space miner John Rochard, Rochard provides the player with a gravity-tractor beam, a simple blaster, and the means to manipulate environmental gravity with the push of a button. The game starts with Rochard's mining team being under pressure to get results and then scoring a big find on an asteroid when disaster strikes; the initial goal is to rescue Rochard's team members and save the day. When it stays on target Rochard is an entertaining 2D sidescroller with enjoyable platforming combat and decent puzzle-solving mechanics. The problem is that Rochard isn't always as laser-focused as it could have been.

text: In today's world of marketing, technology offers new channels on an almost regular basis. Gone are the days of simple advertising on television or in print. Nowadays, the Internet, smartphones, and social media have changed the rules of the game. In the travel sector, the change has been immense. Hotels must look at marketing through a different lens to reach a new breed of consumer brought up on computers and instant messaging. Whether it's via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or any number of social media sites that have sprung up, reaching potential guests means thinking in bold terms and offering instantaneous reactions. Meanwhile, smartphone technology continues to make marketing even more direct and immediate, and the changing channels are only becoming more pronounced. Jennifer Rodrigues is visibility development manager with ThinkInk Communications, and is a seasoned public relations professional with a passion for the hospitality industry, which is expressed in her role at ThinkInk's travel division called TravelInk'd. At TravelInk'd, she is responsible for developing cost-effective and creative public relations and marketing strategies for clients in the travel and tourism, airline, lodging, cruise, and meeting/event sectors. Recently, she discussed the changing nature of travel marketing with Lodging Editor Len Vermillion. 1. Len Vermillion: The world of marketing has greatly changed in the modern era. In general, what are some things hoteliers should expect to see and do to market their properties in the coming years? Jennifer Rodrigues: The mobile channel is, and will continue to be, the most profound change going forward. The wave of accessible smartphones and devices, coupled with mobile-optimized browsers and robust mobile apps, are giving hotels the ability to appeal to an entirely new customer segment: the mobile consumer. These customers are untethered and always connected, so they are less concerned with "locking-in" reservations. This has drastically decreased the booking window, thus adding new challenges to the marketing mix and operational efficiency of hotels. Because of mobile, customers can research and make their booking decision on the sidewalk outside a hotel's door. In the immediate future, look for hotels to start integrating products and services into their mobile apps, even after checking-in, to maximize the marketing opportunities to this growing segment. A new system—still in its infancy, but which will reach widespread distribution soon—enables hotels to link in-room television to guests' mobile phones. This gives the hotel an opportunity to directly market products and services to mobile customers within its walls. 2. LV: There is a growing number of media outlets in print, online, on television, and other emerging channels. How can hotels best ensure that they can get covered in the crowded and competitive field? JR: Unfortunately, there will always be a trial-and-error period when attempting to determine the most successful marketing strategy. The good news is that new technologies decrease the trial and error period. I think the best way to get "covered" is to carve out new market share from emerging channels. I go back to mobile: it is cutting edge, and most hotels are just now implementing standard features. The hotel that capitalizes on expanded products and features within the mobile channel will expand market share and earn an opportunity for increased consumer loyalty. 3. LV: As a new generation of consumers emerges, how is marketing changing? JR: Speed. Everything happens so quickly today, which can be a good or bad thing. The good: Just as I mentioned before, the trial-and-error period for marketing strategies to this new generation—especially using new forms of media—has decreased dramatically. And because this generation is adept at utilizing emerging technology, adoption time is quick and results are immediate. The bad: Because of this adeptness to technology, it's hard to stay ahead of this generation. Often, by the time you've developed a new marketing approach, another technology has emerged, making it obsolete. The only way to combat this is to stay ahead of technology, looking as far ahead as possible—a tough challenge, and one that usually requires consulting industry experts. 4. LV: What impact has social media had on planning and budgeting marketing plans for hotels? JR: I would say that the impact has been what I call "optimistically skeptical." While hoteliers know that social media is extremely valuable, they understand that it is dynamic and susceptible to immediate changes and trends. This has resulted in cautious restraint: budgets are flowing toward social media, but in trickles, not waves.

Motor home owners in Gardena will soon need to obtain a permit to park overnight on city streets.
City leaders introduced the change this week because of complaints about people living in motor homes, dumping raw sewage into storm drains and stealing electricity.
The City Council approved the plan Tuesday night and, if it receives final approval, it would go into effect in about two months.
"A lot of people who live in motor homes were finding Gardena a place to live," Police Chief Ed Medrano said. "Our Neighborhood Watch groups had quite a bit of complaints. If one showed up and felt comfortable, it would become a cluster."
Torrance, Los Angeles, Rancho Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Lawndale already require residents to obtain permits to park their campers.
Once enacted in Gardena, residents can obtain a free two-year permit. Motor homes parked on city streets without a permit between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. will be cited.
"This adds to our ability to take some of those motor homes that are now not only in commercial areas but also on residential streets throughout the community," City Manager Mitch Lansdell said. "This gives police an additional tool to deal with those that - today they're on Harbor, tomorrow they're on La Salle. It's pretty clear that they don't own a house in the area."
Regulations involving motor homes are usually controversial issues in cities, but Gardena
Manhattan Beach approved a parking permit system for oversized vehicles in November 2011 and installed informational signs the following January. Enforcement began the following month. Similarly, Gardena will implement the change slowly. Police officers will wait several months before strictly enforcing the change while residents obtain permits, officials said.

Keep track of all your car's information in one place
Access your vehicle's service history records in a click
Easily find the parts you need for your car's specific make and model
Get online access to your manufacturer's suggested maintenance schedule

Receive exclusive offers sent straight to your inbox
Knowing exactly where to find all your vehicle's information makes it easy to keep your car in tip-top shape.
Close [x]
Never open battery caps with your face directly over the battery. Use baking soda or an approved cleaning agent to neutralize any spilled acid.
Never smoke in battery charging areas.
Keep tools and other metallic objects away from uncovered batteries.
Do not strike the sides of the battery with any tool that could produce a spark.
Have a dry-chemical fire extinguisher in charging areas or readily available.
Neutralize static buildup before touching a battery by contacting the nearest grounded surface.
Always handle batteries in a well ventilated area.
Never touch both battery terminals with your bare hands at the same time.
Remove rings, watches and dangling jewelry when working with or near batteries.
Only use insulated/non-conducting tools to remove cell caps. Never lay tools or other metal parts on top of a battery.
Exposed terminals, even on disconnected batteries, are an electrical shock hazard.
Ensure charger is turned off before connecting or disconnecting a battery to prevent arcing.
Jumpstarting your battery
Charging your vehicle's battery without the proper equipment or precautions jeopardizes your safety and the safety of those around you. Please take care in having the correct protection and tools.
What You Need to Know
Always wear proper eye protection and never lean over battery
Inspect both batteries. Do not jump start a damaged battery
Be sure vent caps are tight and level
Make certain that the vehicles are not touching and both ignition switches are turned to the OFF position
Do-It-Yourself Battery Tasks
Replacing Your Battery
Charging Your Battery
Jump-starting Your Battery
Never allow the jump-start cable clamps (red and black) to touch each other or another common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard. Always switch off the
ON/OFF switch and store the jump-start clamps on the appropriate case clamp posts on the back of the unit after use.
Jump-start cable clamp connections at the vehicle's battery terminals must be positive to positive (red clamp to batter "+" and negative (black clamp) to the grounding point such as the metal frame of the vehicle. A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
Turn off ignition and all vehicle accessories.
Make sure the Portable Power System is fully charged and jump-starter ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position. Turn any additional functions of your Portable Power System off.
Securely connect the red positive (+) booster clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
Securely connect the black negative (-) booster clamp to the grounding point such as the metal frame of the vehicle
Turn the Portable Power System's jump-starter ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
Crank engine in 5-6 second bursts.
Do not crank the engine for more than 6 seconds. The jump-start feature is designed for short-term operation only. Operating the jump-start feature for more than 6 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the Portable Power System to cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jump-start.
Once engine has started, TURN THE JUMP-STARTER ON/OFF SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION AND DISCONNECT THE BLACK NEGATIVE CLAMP FIRST and then the red positive clamp.
Recharge the Portable Power System as soon as possible after each use.
If possible, bring the two cars together nose to nose, about 18" apart. Be sure you're parked well away from traffic. Make sure both cars have their parking brakes on.
Make sure both cars are turned off. Put automatic transmission cars in Park. Put manual
cars in Neutral. Set the parking brake firmly so the vehicle cannot move.
Determine which terminals are positive and negative on both batteries. Look for "+" sign or red indicator for positive, "-" sign or black indicator for negative. The positive terminal is usually wider than the negative.
Caution: Once you begin the next steps, do not touch the metal portion of the jumper cable clamps to each other or any part of the car except the proper battery terminal.
The jumper cables are marked with colors or stripes to help you keep track of the two separate wires. Attach one end of the positive cable clamp to the positive terminal of the dead battery (the positive cable may have a stripe, or if the cables are marked with red and black, the red cable is positive).
Attach the other end of the positive cable to the positive terminal of the good battery.
Attach one end of the negative cable to the negative terminal of the good battery.
Attach the other end of the negative cable to a metal section (bracket, block, etc.) of the engine away from any moving parts (CAUTION: belts and pulleys can be dangerous). Connecting this cable last, and away from the battery, will avoid sparks and potential hazards at the battery.
Make certain everyone is clear of the engine compartments - don't allow hands or clothing to be caught by moving engine parts.
Start the engine of the good car. Allow it to run for 1-2 minutes. Rev the engine slightly by pressing on the gas pedal lightly.
Start the engine of the dead car. It may take more than one try, but do not try to restart it more than three or four times.
Caution: Some car's electrical and computer systems may be damaged by running the engine with a dead battery. Check your owners manual or service provider for guidance.
If the car still won't crank (start):
If the dead car gets no "click" when you turn the key, the booster cables may not have a good connection at the terminals. Turn off the engine and try rocking the cable clamps back and forth to get the clamps to dig into the terminals. Or, try another ground point to attach the negative cables. Retry from step 7. If the engine still won't start, allow the good car to run for 5-10minutes while hooked up to the dead car. Rev the engine slightly. This may build a charge in the dead battery and allow you to restart. If these steps do not work after three or four more tries, stop trying to jump-start. The battery may be shorted internally, or the dead car may have other electrical problems besides the battery. Continuing to try the jump-start can cause damage to the electrical system. Have the car towed to Pep Boys for service.

Stephen I -
Stephen I. was introduced to Hip-Hop around age 12 and he immediately fell in love with the confident, courageous and charismatic artists who he began to idolize. Gangster rappers such as Tupac, Master P., Snoop Dogg and others raised Stephen I. in the absence of his dad.
Stephen soon started portraying the lifestyle he heard in rap music. He began fighting frequently, stealing daily and he dropped out of school to sell drugs and run the streets. By this time Stephen, himself, was addicted to marijuana and in and out of jail. He had numerous near death experiences while distributing drugs and being involved with gangs yet nothing seemed to open his eyes. He recalls one day in particular in Cherokee County jail that he will never forget… "There was no hope for me AT ALL," he says. "I finally sobered up enough to realize I had completely ruined every opportunity I ever had and my life was destroyed. About the time I was ready to throw in the towel, I heard the guard marching around the corner with a letter in his hand from my sister. The letter was all about Jesus and how He wanted to forgive me and give me another chance and I instantly cried out to the Lord with all my heart."
After Stephen got out of jail he met Kevin Whitaker founder of Meekness Music and soon signed with the label and has been touring for the past two years with the mission of bringing the hope of Jesus Christ to Hip-Hop music and it's millions of followers. Last year alone Stephen I. ministered to thousands of people across America. From colleges and churches to family reunions and birthday parties; from professional basketball games to prisons Stephen I has been given the ability to communicate effectively to all types of cultures and backgrounds. His ministry has been radically impacting people from all over with the uncompromising word of God. Not only does Stephen I. minister through music but he is a recognized preacher calling this world to repentance.
IICorinthians 4:3 – If our gospel be hid; it is hid to those that are lost.

Welcome to the new age
Gliscor (BW2 Revamp) (QC 3/3)
Like I promised, this would be up by Friday. I took Birkal's original skeleton, added C&C and OO, added the SubPass set, and made some tweaks here or there regarding the recent ban of Sand Veil.
Status: Quality Control QC Approvals (3/3): Ginganinja, Princess Bri, Accidental Greed GP Approvals (0/2): Still very annoying [Overview]
[SET] name: Sub Toxic move 1: Substitute move 2: Toxic move 3: Protect / Taunt / Roost move 4: Earthquake item: Toxic Orb ability: Poison Heal nature: Impish evs: 244 HP / 28 Def / 236 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
[SET] name: Defensive move 1: Earthquake move 2: Taunt / Toxic move 3: Toxic / Ice Fang / Stealth Rock move 4: Roost / Protect item: Toxic Orb ability: Poison Heal nature: Impish evs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe [SET COMMENTS] As one of the best physical walls in OU, this set walls some of the biggest threats around. Similar to the old defensive set, but the availability of Stealth Rock and Roost has given Gliscor more options and versatility. Typing provides handy immunities to Electric and Ground type attacks, as well as resistances to Fighting and Bug. Useful if you need a defensive pivot or if you want to shut down stall teams. Earthquake is the usual STAB option available. Taunt is for shutting down stall and set-up sweepers that would use Gliscor as set-up fodder. It also stops Pokemon like Skarmory, Forretress, and Ferrothorn from setting up hazards. The 3rd slot can be decided depending on what you need. Gliscor is a very reliable user of Stealth Rock if you need a Pokemon to set them up. Toxic helps provide residual damage and helps break down opposing walls and sweepers. Without Ice Fang, Gliscor is unable to touch Dragons and other Flying types. Roost is the first option to provide constant healing alongside with Poison Heal. Protect is also a viable option for scouting choiced attackers and guaranteeing Toxic Orb activation. [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS] Speed EVs allow Gliscor to out speed max speed Adamant Tyranitar and Adamant Breloom. Alternately, you can bump Gliscors speed EVs up to 148 to outspeed Jolly Breloom and other base 70 Pokemon. Other remaining EVs are placed into HP and Defense to provide maximum physical bulk. 248 HP EVs to lessen Stealth Rock damage and for maximum Poison Heal Recovery. As always, speed EVs can be adjusted to outspeed different threats. A spread of 248 HP / 40 Def / 220 Spe with an Impish nature can be used to outspeed Adamant Lucario and all Heatran except scarf sets. Bulky Steel types like Skarmory can wall this set if Gliscor lacks Taunt. Bronzong walls this set and can retaliate with Hidden Power Ice. Bulky waters wall this set, but must be wary of a possible Toxic coming their way. Air Balloon Heatran, Latios, Keldeo and other special attackers will wreck Gliscor. Special walls such as Jirachi, Heatran, and Chansey are excellent team mates. Magnezone can trap troublesome steels such as Skarmory and also help deal with rain teams with it's STAB Thunderbolt. Both of which give Gliscor problems. Rotom-W helps against rain teams and most steel types that stop Gliscor cold. [SET] name: AcroBat move 1: Acrobatics move 2: Earthquake move 3: Swords Dance move 4: Substitute / Agility item: Flying Gem ability: Hyper Cutter nature: Adamant evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
[SET] name: Sub Pass move 1: Substitute move 2: Baton Pass move 3: Earthquake move 4: Taunt / Agility / Swords Dance item: Toxic Orb ability: Poison Heal nature: Impish evs: 244 HP / 28 Def / 236 Spe [SET COMMENTS]

how does 248 hp maximize poison heal? 353 (stat) is not divisible by 8 and is not efficient at all. with 353 and 352 you heal 44 hp per turn and take 44 from rocks. What does the odd hp really do? I'm pretty sure 244 is the most efficient spread for Gliscor running poison heal.

This was gone over in the last thread. Apparently it's a cardinal sin to lower a defensive Pokemon's health at all - even by a point - for these magical numbers (Life Orb, Leftovers and Poison Heal), no matter how efficient it may be...
Mind you, I always do anyway. If we're not going to change the actual analysis, maybe a mention in OO of what the number actually is so new people get acquainted with PokeMath. Mind you, I believe the sets that utilize Substitute are better off with 248 HP, since from what I understand Substitute works better with an odd HP number so you can theoretically Sub 5 times with 1 HP left (not counting Poison Heal).

Why would run the completely useless Hyper Cutter on AcroBat when you could run Poison Heal so that you can use Gliscor for status fodder and get recovery.
btw, the magic Poison Heal numbers are divisible by 8 + 1, so Chimpakt is right about 244 HP EVs for the defensive set and SD at least. You're best off with 248 for Substitute sets. I'll do some math to make sure there isn't a more optimal spread for Defense.

Welcome to the new age
Ok so 248 HP allows you to make 4 subs and still live; with 244 you can only make three. They both heal the same amount from Poison Heal, but an added 4 evs lets you make 1 more substitute

Gyarados is perhaps a better example, since Intimidate and Moxie are used roughly equally. Hyper Cutter is also good against Landorus-T I guess, although I am prety sure it needs HP Ice to win. All of these examples are pointless however, if you manage to get up a Substitute before they switch in so bear that in mind. In contrast, Poison Heal is actually pretty nice on AcroBat Gliscor, but you absolutely need to switch in on the Toxic, and thats pretty tricky to do when most comonly, its water types hitting the Toxic. Outside of that your switching in on Blissey / Heatran / Ninetales and hoping they spam Toxic, which is still a risky switch in the case of the lsat two, as fire attacks will do a fair bit. Its 50/50 either way I think personally, but I think that real problem is that I am unsure how good AcroBat actually is without Sand Veil. With Sand Veil, you had an excellent chance to smoke Rotom-W because it only had something like a 60% chance at hitting you with Hydro Pump, without Sand Veil, its much trickier. Sure, Rotom-W gets smacked with a +2 Acrobatics but I think this set needs QC input before it goes further.

Let's see some calcs:
- CB Terrakion's Stone Edge vs 248 HP / 188 Def+ Gliscor: 44.47 - 52.69%, 35.55% chance to 2HKO after SR - Same attack vs 248 HP / 252 Def+ Gliscor: 42.77 - 50.42%, 6.64% chance to 2HKO after SR - +2 Terrakion's Rock Gem Stone Edge vs 248 HP / 188 Def+ Gliscor: 88.66 - 104.81%, 31.25% chance to OHKO - Same attack vs 248 HP / 252 Def+ Gliscor: 84.98 - 100.28%, 6.25% chance to OHKO I don't know if there is anything else important that Gliscor can take with max Defense, but these calcs are more than enough reason. Gliscor with max Defense will almost always counter Terrakion, where speedy Gliscor has realistical chances to lose. I don't get why a defensive Pokemon should spend 18 valuable Defense points (19 if you count for the + nature) to outspeed a threat that doesn't exist, Jolly Ttar. Not to mention Breloom. You outspeed Breloom, ok so? Gliscor is a shitty answer to Technician Breloom anyway, actually fares better against SubPunch if it is slower, so that it can Roost without getting murdered by Seed Bomb / Focus Punch, and finally beats SubSeed sets no matter what if running Taunt. So tell me, what is the reason for the Speed evs? To outspeed Magnezone? A poke that can murder you on the switch with HP Ice, and is walled by a ton of pokes anyway? A poke that will never switch into you, or try to revenge kill you without a Scarf? So yeah 248 HP / 252+ Def is the way to go guys. Oh and U-turn should really get a slash. Almost all defensive pokes that get U-turn/Volt Switch and don't suffer from huge 4mss have them in their sets, so why not Gliscor? Or at least an AC mention... Always talking about the Defensive set.

Poison Heal is equally viable on AcroBat. You don't actually have to go and actively abuse the ability (switching into Toxic) to take advantage of it. Isn't the perk of being immune to Toxic not attractive enough? It can just be a fail-safe right there. I guess Hyper Cutter is pretty good because Intimidate is common enough, and blocking that is pretty important.

Just wanted to mention that AcroBat has Substitute as a primary slash, and provided your Sub is up Intimidators won't be able to stop its sweep. Sure, you can always say that Substitute also helps you against Toxic if you don't have Poison Heal, but that would make both abilities equally viable. Still, imo, I prefer being immune to Burns (if I could predict a switch to Toxic) that being immune to Intimidate all the way, but I guess that's up to each player to decide...

Thoughts on scrapping Swords Dance? I haven't seen that in ages, and it just seems too redundant with the other defensive sets.
Nov 17th, 2012, 5:54:28 PM | #12 |
Welcome to the new age
Ok, let's get this analysis back up and running.
I did some more testing, and found out that Poison Heal IS quite a lot more useful than Hyper Cutter; the chances of being Toxic'd are far greater than that of being Intimidated, even with opponents playing cautiously with Toxic once they see Gliscor. The extra Recovery really really helps it Sub stall in Sand as well as set up with more ease. Here are some topics that still need to be discussed and decided and my views on them: alexwolf's U-Turn proposal: I do think that U-Turn is quite standard on Gliscor, but I'd like to put it in AC, because Taunt/Toxic or Roost/Protect are nearly always more useful. U-turn could be useful against pokemon like Rotom-W or Keldeo, however being defensive it's quite weak and usually regular switching should suffice. When in place in a VoltTurning team, having coverage or support options are preferred. Pocket's SD proposal: I would really like to see what other QC members think about this idea, because my opinion on this would be to keep the SD set, though I'm not exactly against ditching the set itself as long as someone has support. My personal opinion is that it acts as a tank that takes hits and seizes switches to pull of Dances, which makes it different from Defensive. The only thing I don't like about it is how pitifully weak it is even after a Swords Dance- Rotom-W survives a Facade with ~30%, while even 4 HP Loom can survive a +2 Ice Fang. alexwolf's ev proposal: I do think this requires more testing. Outspeeding Loom is occasionally useful when you want to finish off that last bit of HP, though if that's enough proof I'm not sure. I'll look into it.

Here is th deal with SD, it honestly can't break stall very well anymore and completely struggles against offensive teams. Gliscor really doesn't have the offensive presense with that Swords Dance set anymore in this faster paced metagame. It is not strong enough, not fast enough, and not reliable enough to really be given it's own set. It could be included I suppose as it does fill a niche of being able to potentially sweep, but today for a set like that it is very hard with the complete takeover of Rain and whatnot. It should stick to defensive sets and SD should be given an slash or AC mention on the Acrobat set possibly, or OO even.

Oh no, Pocket. Swords Dance is still a very effective set. It might require a bit of paralysis to help with the sweep, but it is downright effective. There have always been random spreads for it, but it still is a formidable set. Gliscor's immunities to Spikes and Thunder Wave also makes it even more annoying.
Nov 22nd, 2012, 4:56:11 PM | #15 |
Now, we can do this the hard way, or... well, actually there's just the hard way.
I also agree that Swords Dance is still a very effective set. In the AC it says that Skarmory utterly walls Gliscor; frankly this is untrue. Gliscor can simply Taunt Skarmory and set up on it (Facade will 2HKO at +6, and funnily enough is more powerful than Ice Fang against it) and Skarmory can only damage itself with Brave Bird, as Toxic Orb simply keeps Gliscor in good health. It's an absolutely incredible stallbreaker with EQ, Facade, Taunt and SD, as it's immune Spikes, Sandstorm and Toxic, and as I said before, can cheerfully break SkarmBliss. The set is awesome mainly because it's such an amazing tank early-midgame, and late-game is when it can pull off the sweep. Please don't scrap the set. Oh yeah and Taunt should really get the slash before Roost, as Taunt allows Gliscor to setup multiple Swords Dances and annihilate stall. Roost doesn't give Gliscor this luxury and is overrated on the Swords Dance set.

Well okay, at the very least bump the SD set below defensive, since it's not a prominent set anymore. Shrang and I were actually thinking of merging the SD set with the defensive set - thoughts?
Also remove Roost from all of the moveset. Gliscor is one of those mons that actually pull off Protect-healing much more productively than other Pokemon, thanks to the major healing powers of Poison Heal. Oh yea, replace Facade with Agility on the Baton Pass set. Passing Sub alone is rather shitty, especially since its sub often times break during the turn of Baton Pass. With Agility, Gliscor can actually facilitate a sweep of its recipient. Gliscor can usually pull this off, too, since nobody expects Sub Gliscor to set up an Agility! ginganinja has used this set with Agility with deadly effect ;( |

Now, we can do this the hard way, or... well, actually there's just the hard way.
Defensive and Swords Dance probably could be moved into one set: Tank. However, so many moves are theoretically perfectly viable for such a set (EQ, Taunt, Roost, Toxic, U-Turn, Facade, Stealth Rock, Protect, Ice Fang, Swords Dance, etc) that it's simply have to many slashes. I mean theoretically it could work, but I'd rather keep SD seperate, if only for aesthetic reasons.

I really disagree with Taunt SD and defensive being merged into one set. As i have explained already and nobody presented any real objection, the defensive set needs max HP and max Def in order to counter Terrakion reliably, as well as Roost. With Roost Gliscor is able to beat Choice Band Terrakion reliably, as it can easily pp stall its SE with Roost. Protect is shit, because the opponent can always predict it and bring in something that forces you out, meaning you will be unable to switch inot Terrakion's Stone Edge again.
The two sets must be either two seperate sets, or the stallbreaker set should be put into OO (there are not so many stall teams these days anyway, and Gliscor has better things to be doing, not to mention that Gliscor is a mediocre stallbreaker imo. If the meta wasn't so offensive i could see more merit to it, but right now...)

Yea, SD Stallbreaker set should go to OO; almost all Gliscor are either Substitute or the Defensive sets anyways. Electrolyte, you can explain the set in OO, instead. Save your Stallbreaker skelly just in case, though.
I would also move the Defensive set above Acrobatics set, since the latter is a lot less used ever since the Sand Veil ban. Remove Poison Heal from the AcroBat; Hyper Cutter is just as useful as Poison Heal, so there should be no preferential ability listing here. |

Welcome to the new age
Alright, I made the changes, all except for Stallbreaker, which I'd like to voice my few last thoughts on.
For one thing, I agree that it's job as a stallbreaker is not only not as useful now since stall isn't as crazy as it was a long time ago but also the other sets do express anti-stall notions as well- having Taunt and AcroGem on AcroGemScor or Taunt/Toxic on Substitute are more than enough to wittle through most stall nowadays. I also had a few problems with the fact that it's supposed to be a kindasorta offensive tank too. I think this role is slightly outclassed by Lando-T now, who is infinitely stronger and bulkier. Plain SDScor's offensive prowess is definitely not comparable to the force AcroGem has, nor is it's defensive ability enough to rival with Sub/Defensive. As alexwolf said, a great thing about Scor was it's ability to wall Terrak, and with split evs like those, it's not going to be able to. I'm going to spend some time now to move SD into OO. If anyone has any objections, now would be the time to speak up

In the Overview mention Poison Heal grants Gliscor not only immunity to status, but also an incredible 12.5% / turn recovery, the main reason why it's so hard to take down Gliscor without powerful blunt attacks.
The ban of Sand Veil affected its SubSD set, so you should specify which Substitute set you're referring to on your Overview. Although Landorus-T and Garchomp offered new threats that Gliscor can check, the former provides competition for the defensive Ground slot, as it can check Terrakion and Garchomp just as effectively as Gliscor, thanks to Intimidate, while also packing major punch. You should note this in your Overview. The first Substitute sets need re-ordering: move 1: Substitute move 2: Toxic move 3: Protect / Taunt / Roost move 4: Earthquake As you can see I made Toxic a staple instead of an alternative, and slashed Taunt with Protect / Roost. Ice Fang is only worth an AC mention. |

This is piss-poor logic. My semi-stall teams are actually rather weak to Taunt SD Gliscor. Most stall is. It also doubles as a Tank and Lucario check. Some people would like that other than having Gliscor be a non-threatening punching bag. Give it Poison heal and you have a check to Breloom, Lucario, and Conkeldurr with the ability to sweep. If it is a win-win why scrap it?!?!?! Usage isn't supposed to determine what gets analysis and what does not. People refer to analysis to USE the pokemon -___-

Same with roseries. I know a lot of people who wore them to be cool.
This is something I always wondered about. I want to buy one because I think rosaries are beautiful - but they would hold no religious significance to me.
The catholics I know have no problem with me buying one.. they don't find it offensive. I wouldn't wear it.. I just think the really intricate ones are a great display of craftsmanship. But I don't want to offend anyone by owning it just to own it.

MacHouston Baker(October 15, 1925 – November 27, 2012), known as Mickey Baker and Mickey "Guitar" Baker was an American guitarist. He is widely held to be a critical force in the bridging of rhythm and blues and rock and roll, along with Bo Diddley, Ike Turner, and Chuck Berry.
Baker was born in Louisville, Kentucky.
In 1936, at the age of 11, Baker was put into an orphanage. He ran away frequently, and had to be retrieved by the staff from St. Louis, New York, Chicago, and Pittsburgh. Eventually the orphanage quit looking for him, and at the age of 16 he stayed in Harlem, New York. He found work as a laborer and then a dishwasher. But after hanging out in the pool halls of 26th Street, he gave up work to become a full-time pool shark.
At 19, Baker decided to make a change in his life. He went back to dishwashing, and was determined to become a jazz musician. The trumpet was his first choice for an instrument, but with only $14 saved up, he could not find a pawnshop with anything but guitars for that price.
He enrolled at The New York School of Music, but found the learning pace too slow. He dropped out and resolved to teach himself, but gave up shortly afterwards. Six months later he met a street guitarist who inspired him to start playing again. He continued taking private lessons from different teachers over the next few years, and, like many musicians of the day, tried to play his instrument like Charlie Parker played the saxophone.
By 1949, Baker had his own combo, and a few paying jobs. He decided to move west, but found that audiences there were not receptive to progressive jazz music. Baker was stranded without work in California when he saw a show by blues guitarist Pee Wee Crayton. Baker said of the encounter:
"I asked Pee Wee, 'You mean you can make money playing that stuff on guitar?' Here he was driving a big white Eldorado and had a huge bus for his band. So I started bending strings. I was starving to death, and the blues was just a financial thing for me then."
He found a few jobs in Richmond, California, and made enough money to return to New York.
After returning east, Baker began recording for Savoy, King and Atlantic Records. He did sessions with The Drifters, Ray Charles, Ivory Joe Hunter, Ruth Brown, Big Joe Turner, Louis Jordan, Coleman Hawkins, and numerous other artists. During this time, Baker (along with either Paramour Crampton or Connie Kay on drums, Sam "The Man" Taylor on tenor, and Lloyd Trotman on bass) played on numerous hit records on the Atlantic, Savoy, and King labels.
Inspired by the success of Les Paul & Mary Ford, he formed the pop duo Mickey & Sylvia (with Harlemite Sylvia Robinson, known as the "Mother of Hip Hop" and one of his guitar students) in the mid 1950s. Together, they had a hit single with "Love Is Strange" in 1956. The duo split up in the late 1950s, but continued to record off and on until the middle of the next decade. It was around this time that he moved to France, making a few solo records and working with some French pop and rock performers, including Ronnie Bird and Chantal Goya. Baker appeared at the 1975 version of the Roskilde Festival.
In 1999, Baker received a Pioneer Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation.
In 2003, he was listed at #53 on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time".
His self-tuition method book series, the Complete Course in Jazz Guitar is a mainstay for introducing students of guitar to the world of jazz. They have remained in print for over 50 years.
Baker died on November 27, 2012 near Toulouse, France, aged 87.

Written by Jeff Mackey
At Atlanta's City Hall, B-52s singer Fred Schneider, surrounded by City Councilmember Felicia Moore and other PETA supporters, called on the City Council to pass a total ban on bullhooks. "How can we do this to elephants?" he asked. "I can't imagine doing this to our cats, dogs, or other pets we love." Moore commented that "Atlanta is better than this" and added that she and fellow Councilmember Natalyn Mosby Archibong will continue to push for the full ban.

The following was originally published on June 26th.
PETA has sent an urgent letter to the Atlanta City Council exhorting it to pass an ordinance proposed by Councilmembers Felicia Moore and Natalyn Archibong that would ban all bullhook use in the city. The new measure would strengthen recently passed legislation that is unenforceable and will do nothing to protect elephants used in circuses from abuse.
The ordinance passed on June 18 bans the use of bullhooks only when a witness comes forward to attest that they were used to "punish" or "discipline" an elephant and that the specific incident resulted in the elephant's skin being observably broken, scarred, or otherwise damaged—an almost impossible task given that handlers commonly strike elephants in places that hide the wounds, such as behind the ears or under the chin.
Nor do all bullhook beatings break the skin, even when they cause serious injuries—and when they do cause bleeding, circuses apply a gray powder called "Wonder Dust" to cover up any wounds since it blends in with elephants' skin.
Along with the letter, PETA sent videotapes showing several incidents in which elephants were beaten with bullhooks in California, which has a law that's virtually identical to Atlanta's. In none of these instances was the perpetrator prosecuted.
California's failed elephant-protection law proves that as long as circus elephant handlers have bullhooks, they're going to beat elephants with them. Please join PETA in making it clear to the Atlanta City Council that a total ban on bullhooks is the only way to stop circuses from beating elephants. (Please keep all correspondence polite.)

Think for a commuter I would prefer a saddle to be able to sit on. 2008 Specialized SWorks Roubaix SL - Zipps - Campag - Nuff Said

Re: The Ultimate Cycling Commute - Danny MacAskillI actually like the jacket with the integrated EL. That is really what the video is about, http://www.proviz.co.uk
I have an Exelite LumiSash and a LumiPac, but these jackets actually look pretty cool. One less piece of gear to carry '11 Lynskey Cooper CX, '00 Hillbrick Steel Racing (Total Rebuild '10), '09 Electra Townie Original 21D
Re: The Ultimate Cycling Commute - Danny MacAskillThe idea of the integrated EL's is nice, and the active light source rather than reliance on reflective light only is a big
positive. But the product on the video probably exaggerates the impact of the EL because of the darkness of the black jacket fabric. I can't help but think the cyclist would be much more visible in a white outfit, and with a white bike etc.,. And way more visible if he'd had a set of ayups blazin' away. Other jackets in the company's range have the EL's on a hi-vis lime background, but for night-time use a white color and additional reflective materials might be more effective. Cool-riding, but I wonder how many out-takes, bruises and broken bones it took Cheers WombatK - Jerry Garcia, Grateful Dead

Duncan Shaw... Am so so with you on the need for a saddle... at the right height and some bigger gearing looks like a winning idea too.
Re: The Ultimate Cycling Commute - Danny MacAskill
If you watch how close his ass gets to the tyre on most of his landings (including when he's jumping up onto fences and rails as well as down), you'll work out why there is no saddle. He needs every inch he can get to absorb impacts - a seat post and saddle would seriously jeopardise that. WombatK - Jerry Garcia, Grateful Dead

whoosh..... Yes, because every time I commute I will be utilising those honed in skills too! the most I do is small stair gaps and drops.... I can barely hold a wheelie for five pedal strokes lol... On the visibility side of things, those small flashers look like the way to go as additional lighting on me or the bike.
