Speculation time! 

I predict Chespin will be grass/fighting because of its slashing claws.  I predict Fennekin will be fire or fire/normal unless it deviates big time from the precedents set by other "fire dog" pokemon like Vulpix and Growlithe.  Froakie is a tough one to predict.  I'm thinking water/ice since the moustache and all look like snow clouds on high mountains, and there are frogs, like the Alaskan wood frog, who can freeze themselves into hibernation and generally survive in Arctic circle climates. 

Yoda- those bad pickup lines are gold. 

I've heard the analogy that water= tank, fire= sweeper, grass= special ops. 

I echo the sentiment someone else said that hopefully fennekin won't be a fire/fighting type again, since chimchar and tepig were both fire/fighting. 

I'll definitely be choosing Froakie. 

Finally watched that Double Rainboom doujin episode... it    is     epic!

Heh, that's probably the kind of stuff she'd tell me if I asked her about the worst pickup line she's heard.  Those and definitely some choice lines about how her butt looks in running tights. 

I never managed to beat the hoverbike level.  

Just saw the SMTIV battle vids on the front page, and I am really digging that boss music.

We all have them.  I know the RPGFan community is a cut above the average consumer sheep and seeks out anime that's deeper, more intricate, more intellectual, etc. than normal.  Heck, I do too.  If it weren't for the RPGFan community, I wouldn't have known about Boogiepop Phantom, which is one of my all time favorite series.  

But sometimes, I like fluff.  Sometimes, I just want cotton candy.  Sometimes, I just want mindless fanservicey fun with an *ahem* "jiggle factor" that makes me go "tee hee hee" like a dorknerd who can't get laid to save his miserable little life.  In short, I have my guilty pleasures.  

Some of my guilty pleasure anime includes the Burn Up! series (I've seen the original OVA and the Burn Up! W OVAs, but have not seen Burn Up! Excess yet) and the Bakuretsu Hunter series (I <3 Chocolate Misu!)  Yeah, they're stupidly fanservicey and not exactly "high brow" series, but they're really fun and speak to my inner 12 year-old.  I also watch Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z when they're on.  Heck, they're just fun;  Cell saga is my favorite DBZ story arc.  Maybe Lucky Star and K-On! could be guilty pleasures since parts of their fanbases can be a little "ehhhhhh" but I love those series.  (Well, okay, season 2 of K-On! isn't that great, but I loved season 1).  

So what are some of your guilty pleasure anime?  The ones that you almost feel like a fool to share with us or your more "anime illuminati" peers, but say, "screw it and your pompous 'tude, I like it, it makes me happy, and that's that!"  

Thanks!  My new goal is that the next 5K I do, I want to break 24 minutes.  Okay, a side goal would be to snag a date, or at least a number, of a hot female runner.  Sadly, I was unsuccessful on that front today. 

I just ran my first 5K this morning. My time was 27m 51sec, 22nd overall out of 57 runners. Considering this was my first 5K and I didn't really do any special training beyond my normal workout routines, I'd say I did alright.

Detailed results are here: http://lmsports.com/speak13.htm

Err... I've only played two eroge, to be honest.  Yeah, some love adventure/dating sim dorknerd I am:P  Anyway, Crescendo was spectacular.  Let's Meow Meow! was beyond ridiculous, but it's a guilty pleasure.  Okay, so EVE: Burst Error and Tea Society of a Witch had the naughty bits cut out for their US releases, but I can't count those since I didn't get the naughty bits.  

"In My Blood" by Star & Dagger.  It's the new band with Sean Yseult (aka the chick from White Zombie.)  It's a killer song and I can't wait for their debut album later this year.  Not gonna lie, I still have a "celeb crush" on Sean Yseult.  (song's at the bottom) http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=188664

The thing with IS's final dungeon is that based on a dialogue choice halfway through, the remainder of the dungeon will either be short, medium, or long.  I played the import and overthought it, so I ended up picking the longest and most tiresome path. 

Another difference between IS and EP is that EP only gives one individual contact skill per character and the focus is more on group contacts; what's cool about that is that if you pick Katsuya before Ulala, the contact is different than if you pick Ulala before Katsuya.  Another difference also is in how rumors are handled.  With IS, you could spread the "cheap/bad, mediocre, or expensive/strong" equipments, but with EP some rumors change the TYPE of equipment a potential store may have (i.e. special weapons vs. special armor.)

The IS import took me 80 hours or so to complete (most people at the MegaTen boards I used to mod took about 50).  I maxed out EP's clock and I assume I sunk 110 hours in.  I waited months in between both games, so I didn't get burnt out. 

Felt good to break out my bicycle for the first time this year.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GugsCdLHm-Q

I know there's a joke somewhere about not getting the pony you were promised when you were a little kid and now obsessing over MLP.

I never once wanted a pony.
