1. A Link Cable Transmitted Disease (LCTD) contracted by contact with an infected person, television set, computer, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, or Nintendo Wii, causing sore thumbs, headaches, the inability to forget anything related to this cash cow franchise, including but not limited to the names of all 493 pokemon, their stats, growth rates, locations and availability, habits, mating rituals, history, food chains, ecosystems, and origins.

2. Symptoms include: the inability to speak or think about anything unrelated to anything other than pokemon, and upon realization of the condition, a vain attempt to join in the conversations of others just to feel accepted after almost 10 years of knowing only pokemon as their god, and finally, a burning sensation caused whilst urinating.

the Megaman effect

When a game company lucks out with smash hit game, and then proceeds to crank out worthless clones of the game, cleverly disguising them as "sequels." A prime example is CapCom's MegaMan BattleNetwork series for Game Boy Advance, which began as a launch title for the handheld in 2001, but quickly became an incredibly long "series" of games that are all essentially the same game. Of course, the same thing could be applied to Nintendo and Game Freak's popular Pokemon series for Game Boy, GBA, and the DS.
Dude, WW2 games, Vietnam war games, and Atlus RPGs are suffering from the MegaMan effect.

GameCube

A famous video game system created by Nintendo. With an all-star line-up of 1st party titles, and a relative lack of 3rd party support, the GameCube was not a popular platform of economic competition, earning it a reputation synonymous communism.
The GameCube is mostly famous for its first party line-up; Metroid, Super Smash Bros, Super Mario, and the Legend of Zelda, among others.

GameCube

In Fable, although the game is developed by Big Blue Box and this is obviously a reference to the company that made the game, there is a legend about the first man choosing which world his people would live in. He had a choice between a large blue box, and a small red box. Believing the latter represented the sun, he chose the large blue cube. The gods, knowing the true differences between the two, revealed that the red box had only enough room for all the good in the world, and the blue box had room for all the good and the evil, and that the man had damned his people to life as we knew it in the dark ages. My point is, GameCube was a big blue box, full of some good things (Resident Evil 4, Zelda, Mario, SSBM...), but over stuffed with horrible things (i.e. Barbie Games, Generic Japanese Anime RPGs).
disenfranchisedgamerboy1: Man, I wish Nintendo had taken the small red box approach--I mean, the GameCube could have better represented Nintendo as something small, red, and boxy-- so I wouldn't accidentally make friends with those other gamers who play Xbox and PS2 and end up spending money on those systems.

disenfranchisedgamerboy2: Totally, dude.

Xbox

A famous video game console created by Microsoft. In its heyday, it had copious 1st and 3rd party support, in the form of game such as Halo: Combat Evolved by in-house developer Bungie Studios, and the GTA series by Rockstar Studios. This balance of developing and publishing power has earned the Xbox a reputation synonymous with socialism.
The Xbox, while having received a bad rap for being a product of Microsoft, was not unsuccessful, spawning the next system, the Xbox 360 in 2005.

NintendOwned

1. The act of owning the crap out of someone at any well-known Nintendo game.
2. The act of owning the crap out of someone who has been playing a game, esp. any Pokemon game, substantially longer than you.
3. The act of showing a n00b from some game forum their place after they openly assume they have been playing a game much longer than you, denounce you as a n00b, and are rudely awakened as you fulfill the second above definition whilst playing against them.
2. Scott: Weak, I just got NintendOwned at Gold by you!
Me: *in an elongated, exaggerated ebonic voice* Sho' ya
right.

That's why it is Trash. Because of Guys like you, GTS is a place of little Brats - which don't know how to play the game. This Thread is not worth reading.

Me: Look, I know the gameplay inside and out. Trust me, when you've been playing as long as I have, because I started playing back in the days of Yellow, played all the way through Silver and Sapphire, and even beat the story mode of Colosseum, trust me, getting a pokemon in a trade that I'd never ever be able to get anyways unless I was an emerald addict is not ruining the game. How dare you call me a noob, you can't call someone a noob until they either announce their stupidity to the world, or you own them in a game of pokemon if they've been playing longer than you. Think I don't know how it works, buddy? I got Silver three months after my friend got Gold, he beat the game, I took a month to beat the game, we link battled, he lost, the battle was epic, and he *almost* had the upper hand with his Meganium's Ancientpower, but I got tired of that crap and Flame Wheeled him. Show respect for your veterans, you poser-bandwagon little n00b.

Scout Law

Together, the Scout Oath and Law form the general Code of Conduct for Boy Scouts. As taken from the Boy Scout Handbook, 11th edition, the Scout Law is as follows:
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Whenever you hear something negative about the BSA, you are hearing about people who choose to ignore the Scout Law. The BSA is not an organization of bigots and liers. Make no mistake, these are NOT real scouts, but impostors and assholes who sully the name. I am proud to be a scout. If everyone in the world followed the Oath and Law, the world would be a wonderful place.
