A: Does Magikarp's Splash move really never deal any damage?

As a matter if fact, when playing soul silver, a magikarp did indeed defeat one of my pokemon with splash. I was trying to level up a weak mareep by having it battle some low-level fishermen, and his magikarps continued to use splash one by one untill, spontaneously, my mareep fainted. I was not ...

Yeah, no. Bulbapedia has nothing on this. bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Splash

[REVIEW UPDATE] Due to ongoing connectivity issues, we have lowered our current score for SimCity http://bit.ly/Za0jVh

Ha! Ha ha, hahahaha hahahahahahaha

A drop from 9.5 to 8.0 too.

Ouch.

Oh, hrump. I forgot you get the soundtracks for BTA games too.

Not that I would really pay that much for Super Hexagon's 3 track OST, but still

@badp Who's "repairing" it?

badp

@Coronus A company in SLAPANICE, CZ

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Still, it's an added bonus... I had completely forgotten about that.

Content from the opposite page is bleeding through. Is this a common problem with comics?

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I can't see what you're talking about...

Freehand circle?

Down the center there.

The purple bit, that's actually content from another page

Because the pages weren't lined up properly when they were printed and stapled together

11:40 PM

I must be blind... I'm not seeing it. <_<

@YiJiang'sEvilClone It just looks like the panel border to me

The thick purple 'line' that's running between the two pages

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, but it's not

Need more context.

Okay, I'll zoom out a bit

Huh. Chavez died.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone IS THAT A MLP COMIC OMG

@YiJiang'sEvilClone There we go!

@Fluttershy Yes. Uh... you didn't know?

Also... Now it's plain as day.

Gaming Topics From Outside

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh, it looks like the page is stapled off-center.

Q: Do high-end video cards consume more power during plain PC usage?

For things like coding and web browsing, does a high-end GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti) consume more power than a low/mid-range GPU (NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT)?

graphics-card power computer-building gaming

11:45 PM

So is this common with comics, or did I get a bad copy?

@Coronus More likely it was printed off center

@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's not that common, but it happens.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone I don't see it often.

What's worse is when the pages are glued too far up.

Well, that explains why my garage is leaning.

One side of the roof has about three times the amount of snow on it.

@blem I cracked up at Nintendogs. Followed by pokemon was too much. XD

11:47 PM

Uh-huh. Now how do you get to Stump Glade? Levels in W3 that I have: W3-1 Leaflitter Path, W3-2 The Bafflewood, W3-3 Wiggler's Tree House, W3-4 Strike Lake, W3-5 Loop Loop River, and W3-6 Outlook Point. Please tell me the answer clearly. — user43054 2 hours ago

@TrentHawkins Don't answer that.

So... he wants me to essentially give him a walkthrough for half of world 3?!

@Fluttershy There are 3 issues in the main series, and 1 in the micro-series. The main series currently has 2 story arcs with 4 issues each planned, while each micro-series issue features standalone stories based on each of the 6 main characters

@fbueckert Wasn't going to... I just felt the need to share the facepalmy-ness.

@TrentHawkins Yes.

11:50 PM

The story is quite nice, if a little slow. The art is, as you would expect, magnitudes better than any fan comic you'll find on the internet.

Hm... I'll have to look into it more.

@TrentHawkins If you want to be mean about it, you could just comment with, "Go to 3-7, then 3-8, then 3-9, and then you're at 3-10!"

@fbueckert And then comes the inevitable request for more information.

@Coronus At which point you stop. We're not here to handhold you.

@fbueckert Although the levels aren't quite that linear - what he needs is the second exit from 3-5 (that'll unlock 3-7)

11:54 PM

@TrentHawkins I was under the impression there were multiple exits.

He's not even trying to figure it out himself. He's following a walkthrough from the sounds of it.

@fbueckert indeed, but if he only has access to the world 3 levels he listed, then he's missing the second star (exit) in world 3-5 - that leads to 3-7 and beyond.

@fbueckert trying to follow, you mean.

@TrentHawkins Which, presumably, it would hint at when finishing 3-6.

@TrentHawkins Eh. If he can't even follow a walkthrough properly, there's some serious skill shortages going on.

Oh, and Issue #1 features 6 different covers which put together forms a single image mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:FANMADE_comic_issue_1_cover_scene.png. It's quite cool.

@fbueckert nope... 3-6 is kinda a dead-end with a shop (the only shop with secret door stickers) and a 'thing' that you require to get to worlds 4 and 5
