Y'all people are loving crazy.

You just sort of peak every now and then and just check this thread.

Someone should romhack a sequel in Gold where, on Mt. Silver, you fight a deranged RNG-based Red using level 100 Pidgeot and Omastar.

I mostly just use the twitch pop out. Granted yeah I don't get to see all the rage, I can pretty imagine when the pokemon got released and not getting the water stone that it would involve anger.

Also yeah I just have the pop out window on the left. I"m mostly drawing alot most of the time so I just look to the left occasionally to see what's happening.

(It's mostly Red spinning in place. :v:

)

edit: Not if you don't set the option. So yeah he didn't put the option to save the video.

The time delay between the chat and the game seems perfect for going up to the correct floor, than going back down to the previous one and making zero progress :v:

Jay Leno is also leaving his show, so that probably has a lot to do with it.

This is hilarious. The most relevant Jay Leno has been since he hosed over Conan.

That makes a lot of sense, but I prefer to think that Jay Leno has been eclipsed by a pokemon with a name that vaguely resembles his

I still want Leno's reaction when he sees RIP Jay Leno trending.

Waiting for the inevitable gif of Jimmy Fallon as Eevee on NBC's shoulder telling him to release Jay Leno.

They could have the most correct thing ever, but Dig will be used at some point and they're hosed again.

I always thought Digtata was more like Fallon. If anything, Eevee is Conan.

Iceland seems like the most likely place to be all over this. It's probably being projected in Reykjavik's public squares as we speak, right next to the official Icelandic EVE livestream.
