But for M. Bison





Nothing says a Big release Tuesday without M.Bison. I may not get Mortal Kombat, but Portal 2 is AMAZING, just so you know.

But for M. Bison

[size=9]I made this banner for the new site, and planned this tournament for it way back then/size]

So as we are all aware of, Pokemon's making a leap into the future soon adding 156 new ones and changing the game up the most in a long time. And as with all generation jumps, we have to leave other games behind.

Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum brought us a new land full of new pokemon, along with giving new life on old pokemon and even introducing the biggest change to pokemon fighting in ages with the physical/special attack split. For those who haven't played any of the 4th Generation games, all moves gained a new property special attacks like Hyper Beam, Surf, Fire Blast, Psychic, and so on did special attack damage and moves involving physical objects like Mega Punch, Hi Jump Kick, and the elemental Punches used Attack for damage. It gave new leases on life to many pokemon and changed up how many pokemon were used. The new land brought God-Equivalent pokemon into the mix with an equally outlandish evil team as well.

However the more things change, the more they stay the same. We also got the long rumored, clamored for remakes/re-imaginings of Gold and Silver with Heart Gold and Soul Silver. it brought us back to Johto and Kanto with arguable the most complete Pokemon games ever made.



And now we sit on the edge of a new land. One where ties to the old are cut off(till the end at least) and we get the rebirth Pokemon might have needed to get the haters off it's back. Or not.

To celebrate the solid generation we had, and to ring in the new one, I'm hosting a tournament open to all! You have a week to sign up in the forum thread (linked here) so I can keep things in order.

The RULES!


*Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver games required to play.

But For M. Bison, It Was Tuesday



(Yes I will Keep Resurecting this whenever an Epic Tuesday appears!)
But For M. Bison, It Was Tuesday (Yes I will Keep Resurecting this whenever an Epic Tuesday appears!)

So this Pax is coming up and you think all the cool people are going? Sadly you are wrong, Dead wrong infact, you might not know it but you are already so. That sinking creeping feeling that you get when you read something by me? Ya you won’t get that live and in the flesh this year sadly.


SadTony is Sad


However the next best thing is possible. You could be the one to bring a pictorial image of myself with you everywhere you go and it’s almost like I’m there. If you aren’t convinced already maybe a list will help since that’s the cool thing to do with these now.

The Dtoid Army Twitter List



If I have any claim to fame, it’s this. If you’re on Twitter and on Dtoid, you are probably on this list as long as I’m aware of you. I went through all the pages of the Social Networking Forum and added everyone I could to it. Even if you stopped tweeting, and you mentioned you had a twitter, you’re on there. If you’re not on there, well that’s my bad, seeing as you never mentioned it to me anywhere, and you’ll be on it in the near future then. So be cool and be on this list if you tweet. - Follow it HERE! http://twitter.com/Antwhan/dtoid-army

I make Movies



Me working behind the scenes on a Senior's Film, Also chattan with the ladies. They love the hat

I’m not sure how many of you ever watched my films when I linked them here back when I was practically a neophyte in this awesome community but I did. I’m working hard to achieve my dreams of making amazing films that maybe Matt and Jonathan will one day review. Or perhaps I’ll give Modern Method’s unborn Movie site exclusives down the line, so there’s that too.

I'm Pretty Much Awesome



So Much I can do this when I want. Yeah Imagine if i was there with you? I can get it up to 6 at time now..

I’m Gobun’s Imitator



Back during Double Down Days (Can we call them that cause I just did) I was trying to Forum with the best of them, the effort failed since I got caught up in school and real life and twitter, but it was a valiant effort the same. I worked to meet Gobun’s Double Downing Prowess with my own attempt at it. I down’d 3 of the beasts and earned my title of Gobun’s Poser. I wear it proudly.

I’m on Stereotoid (and Stereocast)



Sure I’m fairly new to the crew, but I do my part. I may know next to nothing when it comes to how to play or even the jargon sometimes, but I’m there to bring you the lowdown when things get heady. Also I reviewed the Twilight Soundtrack for you all… And Sailor Moon is in my head forever now too thanks to that… So bring me along if only for some retribution

My Avatar is Canti from FLCL.



If you know even a shred about anime, then you know how amazing FLCL is, so much so it won Japanator’s Coveted top spot in the top 50 Anime of the decade(Seen herehttp://www.japanator.com/japanator-s-top-50-anime-of-the-decade-10-to-1-12913.phtml ). He’s a robot who sprung out of a boy’s head after he got hit with a Rickenbacker Bass Guitar by A Pink hair’d girl riding a Vespa. He’s badass wether he’s fighting with he bare metallic hands or sweeping up the bakery. He also can turn into a Howitzer. Did I Mention he eat’s Naota to be piloted in combat? Yeah Canti is a badass Fire God to say the least. He’s Silent cool and not to mention he flys too.

Pokewalkers are always an important accessory



I sport a classy pokewalker from my Soul Silver version nearly everywhere I go, and now you can almost have me there with you Pokewalking everywhere. Imagine all the watts you would earn if it was a real pokewalker with you and not a picture of me? See how that makes sense? Good.

Moving on…

Flim Prowess.


Maybe You Should Check out Zombieland. I dug it alot. So much that i Horded all these posters

While PAX is more about games than say, Comic-Con or something, my knowledge of film is invaluable when you need something to watch when your hands and arms are tired of moving around. Want a great, bad movie? Check the Trailer Park of mine. Or heck you could ask me at any time over twitter about a film if you should see it or not. I know about every single film (*May not know every single film ever)

Splits.



Because nothing says showstopper like a short guy busting out impromptu Splits. Area of Effect? Wide and Powerful, Capable of Disabling Attackers of the Male Genital Persuasion. Females are attracted to flexible men so bam, gettin ya’ll laid too. You could imagine me there and tell tales of my powers, which will surly get you to some metaphorical baseball plate.

Bro-Love.



Deep Down, I love all you guys. So Much. It’s hard to express that in words. I’m not afraid to meet and near instantly trust any of you in person. (except maybe Gobun while I sleep. I’ve seen the Forum Adventures.) But If anything can be more telling, Most of my time online in the past 6 months, I Haven’t spent them with people I know in real life so much as people I knew from here. From Podcasts, to Shimuni to Twitter. You guys have taken over my digital social Life and I’m really hurt I can’t make it out there to meet a lot of you in person and give you a hug, or a bro-fist, or what have you. You guys are like a family to me now. And I never wanna give that up, Never gonna let you guys down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

So Maybe would one of you kindly Adopt me?

But for M.Bison.
