Ask me a question. It's not like I'll explode or anything!
 
Let's get this taken care of right now: I am not, nor have I ever been, an explosive device of any sort.

Now then... you're here, so you're either very bored or you have a question for me. I'm happy to answer, so don't be shy!

I sit at the computer and wait :p
But seriously, I usually browse VR or, if I'm REALLY bored, I do some sit ups and push ups to help counter the detrimental effects of a sedentary lifestyle.

Oh jeeze... my LEAST favorite pokemon? Well, Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp are all pretty high on my dislike list, but Machamp has to take the top spot of least favorite. So Ugly!
As for my favorite book... that's an even harder question! Reading is boring. It's been so long since I've actually read a book all the way through. Sorry, I'll have to pass on that question. xD

Study them. If possible, find a clip of one in the anime and observe it's movements throughout the episode (that is, as long as its appearances aren't stock-footage exclusive). If you can't find any like that, find an animal in real life with a similar anatomy; like a cat for espeon or a squirrel for pachirisu. memorize their movements. Then, while you're drawing, ask if the pose you're trying to draw them in is realistic. Cats don't make a T-shape with their arms by holding them out at shoulder-level, so you wouldn't draw an espeon doing that. Stuff like that.

As for my favorite, I quite fond of the one I use as my Avatar and the one in my profile picture. I'm also really proud of the riolu one.

I'm pretty fond of Avatar: The Last Airbender. My favorite episode would probably be a tie between "Sozin's Comet Part 4: Avatar Aang" and "The Blind Bandit". The former for all the action, the later because it's Toph's debut. She's a blind little 12-year old girl with an in-your-face attitude that can wipe out an entire squad of warriors AND bend metal (which is unique to her). What's not to like?

Movies are tough for me. I've hated going to movie theaters ever since I was just a little kid. It's dark and the sounds from the movie are so loud you can feel your internal organs vibrate. I prefer my internal organs to not be vibrating unless they are supposed to.

My favorite episode of Spongebob Squarepants would have to be the one where squidward falls off the cliff on his bike and then explodes in a nuclear mushroom. My dad and I laughed SO hard when that happened! It's one of my fondest memories. I also like pretty much any episode with "MY LEG!!!", or the DEAEAUGEAEAU fish.

As few as possible. Ideally, none. I love children, though; they're so cute and innocent--especially babies. They're chubby and squishy, but they smell like potatoes most of the time.

My dad's homemade pizza is my favorite food. I'm pretty territorial about it, actually. I get angry whenever someone takes the middle pieces (it's rectangular) and tend to eat about half the pizza, if not more. He usually has to make two pizzas to keep me from going crazy :p

My favorite drink is water. As you can see from my eating habits, I can't afford to drink soft drinks or other sugary beverages. Also, carbonated beverages give me the hiccups unless I use a straw to blow bubbles and get the air out of it.

What's your Favorite Generation of Pokémon?

A'bom February 28, 2011 09:48:01 AM

I've been with pokemon since the beginning. I remember the exact moment my mom gave me pokemon red. I was in the kitchen, and it was right after school. I was a bit confused at first, because it wasn't my birthday and it was no special occasion. I caught a pidgey that night, and I was so proud of myself. Even today, I'm still pleased by the simple things in life :p

My favorite generation, however, has to be generation 2. I have VERY vivid memories of it, and get a distinct sensation when thinking about it. My friend got it before me, and he and I talked on the phone for several hours while he played Gold one night (since I didn't have Gold yet). His cyndaquil evolved into quilava while I was on the phone, and I thought flame wheel was the coolest thing ever. His togepi also hatched while I was on the phone with him. I was so excited for the new pokemon, ESPECIALLY espeon. I always loved eevee and its forms, but I simply adored espeon. Generation 2 was the most exciting for me. Because of all the new evolutionary forms, and the fact that we were suddenly getting a bunch of new pokemon that we didn't know about before. No generation has quite matched up to it for me.

Cyndaquil. No contest. Generations two and four are the only ones with mammalian starters, and I'm not a fan of monkeys. Cyndaquil is a cute, chubby little thing that you'd have to be crazy not to hug. After Cyndaquil is Oshawott (which is not my favorite starter, so the excluding 5th generation does not apply :P). I go for the cute ones. Or, In the case of the final evolved form, the least ugly.

A'bom is a concatenation of several things. I can't get into too much detail, but the first part is Quilava (see my sig).

My favorite color is red-orange. It looks like it would taste good if it had a flavor. Kind of a sweet-and-sour thing going on, you know what I mean?

My difficulty with math probably has to do with an underdeveloped or malfunctioning intraparietal sulcus (located on the top-back part of the brain). In other words, it makes my brain sad. I've always struggled with math, and I have a hard time doing simple addition and subtraction in my head. In fact, I'm SO bad at math, I had to change my career path in college to something that doesn't require math. Wouldn't you know it, web game programming doesn't require math!

Well, first of all, he'd need to look at the tense of his sentence. "Will grow" implies the future, while "right now" implies the present. It's a stretch, but I think his nose would grow because, strictly speaking, it was not growing at the time he said "now". Since time is an abstract concept and it is never quantized how long "now" is, even a femtosecond after he finished saying the word "now" would constitute a lie, thus causing his nose to grow.

I am particularly fond of physics. It explains how the universe works the way it does... or, at least, it attempts to. A lot of stuff we think we know about the universe is actually unprovable... no one has actually sat next to an O-class hyper-giant star and counted how long it took to go from its core initiating nuclear fusion to when it goes supernova. That's all just a guess based on assumptions that are assumed to be reasonable. Do we really know how much of the solar atmosphere is thrown off during a coronal mass ejection? No, but we can make some pretty good guesses. Physics attempts to explain all that, and that's why I like it. I'm particularly interested in the really big and the really small, as you can probably tell by now. Relativity and quantum mechanics. That sort of thing. The two systems are so different, yet they both accurately explain the world we live in (as far as we can tell). Somewhere out there, there's a formula that brings the two together to explain how it all works, but I certainly won't find it due to my inability to math. Only God really knows, and it doesn't look like He intends to tell us outright. We're gonna have to figure it out ourselves.

Quite the contrary, I very much dislike aipom. I've never really been a fan of monkeys. Until recently, I just couldn't figure out why people made that connection, other than that they sound similar. I realized that it's because they don't know the origin of the name, which only a few people know. If it helps to remember, look at my avatar and think "Quilava'bom".

Oh, and my favorite pokemon EVER is Espeon :196:
Eeveelutions in general are the best!

1. Well, my real glasses don't have bottom rims, just top ones. Oh yeah, and they don't levitate in front of my nose, either. Also, quilavas' ears aren't quite in the right place for the ear handles, y'know?
2. That's going back quite a way. Let's see, it was before Halloween of last year, and I remember people asking, "Why the crud is A'bom a staff member?" because the Zoroark skin hadn't been put up yet, so it was mid-october.
3. If I became a moderator, most people would probably dislike me quite a bit due to my incredibly high standards. I wouldn't doubt I'm sure that there are even some other staff members that hate my guts. After all, it's probably embarrassing to have the lowest-ranking staff member call you out on something you did wrong, then cite the specific rule you've violated directly from the terms of service.
My skills aren't in moderation, though. You gotta be a people person to do that. I'm much more qualified for an administrative position. After all, knowledge of that sort of thing goes along with a degree in Computer Information Systems.

Well, it depends on what type of pony you are talking about.

Well, I prefer to keep my hair in a ponytail that's closer to the base of my neck. It looks more masculine. However, my hair isn't quite long enough to get all of it into a ponytail that far down, so sometimes I have to put it up a little higher.

In the more likely event you are talking about My Little Pony, there are only two I know by name (due to the outspoken fanbase on this site): Rainbow Dash and Derpy. Derpy obviously gets my vote because the eyes look funny.

In response to Phantom, who posted as I was posting this:
I have a quilava with glasses because my pokemon of choice is a quilava. Fire and earth have always been elements I've associated myself with more than water or air, so what better than a volcano pokemon to represent me? As for the glasses, I wear glasses. It's that simple. You might also notice the extra fire extending down from behind the ears. That's a reference to my long hair. The eyes are blue more to represent that I don't really "fit in" really well into social groups. I've always been an oddball. I don't really have blue eyes. The blue jacket is similar to one I got while visiting Montana a little over ten years ago. I was really overweight then, so it still fits me :faec:

Yes, I was overweight. I actually weigh LESS now than I did in the 8th grade! I'm about 185 pounds right now. The heaviest I ever was: 240.
As for what I did to lose the weight: I did nothing.
No. Seriously. I did nothing. The family went away on a vacation and I was too preoccupied trying to catch a shiny Shinx to realize I need to feed myself more than once a day. I lost all the weight in one summer. People who hadn't seen me during that time looked like this when they saw me:

It was so awesome. That's about the same time I decided to grow my hair out, too. It was like I graduated from highschool and underwent a transformation. Hopefully I don't transform back!

HAARP, by its very nature, is an atmosphere-manipulating project. The purpose of it is to see if it's possible to alter to ionosphere to make it more conducive to radio and telecommunications signals. Considering its location, I think there is little to no chance of it being something that could manipulate the atmosphere to the extent of weather control. The idea of it being used for controlling seismic activity is preposterous. The experiments are being done in the ionosphere, not the earth's crust. Manipulating the earth's magnetic field to cause an earthquake is also ridiculous. Earth's core has a strength of 25 Gauss. A refrigerator magnet has a strength of 50 Gauss. Refrigerator magnets do not cause earthquakes.
If that isn't enough to make the conspiracy theorists rethink their arguments, consider the ultra-high-powered HAARP on steroids that blasts our ionosphere constantly: the Sun. Our sun has blasted earth with solar storms more powerful than we can even imagine, and we're still here today. All that happens during one of these storms is a magnificent display of Auroras near the mid and lower latitudes. And mass failure in communications technologies. HAARP, in my mind, is no threat.

1. I certainly have nothing against Minecraft. If you like Minecraft, more power to you! I, however, do not play it. I hear it's quite addicting. I don't know much about it, but there's apparently a Lego-type element to it. That appeals to me, since I love building.
2. Explode, no. Quilavas have been known to erupt from time to time, though. You should probably be wary of that!

I wanted to mess around with the CSS more, but wasn't sure how until I figured out I could look at the source code for websites by right-clicking and selecting the option to do so. Most of the resulting text document was such that I had no idea what it meant (I do, of course, understand all of it now), but I did understand the part of the code having to do with CSS. Basically, I decided to mess around with VR's CSS in an effort to learn more about the language.

I start by drawing a really cruddy drawing, then I draw it again, but so that it looks less cruddy, then I draw it again, until it looks less cruddy, then I draw it again until it looks less cruddy, then eventually it turns into what you see when I upload pictures.

I don't explode, but Quilava have been known to erupt if provoked or angered. This particular quilava is capable of cataclysmic vulcanism, so don't cross him ;3

If I could make a mod. Buh huh huh... Ask Shade, I think mods are evil and I refuse to use them, even if I think the concept of them is fantastic (such as better weapon enchanting, the nether expansion mod, aether mod, etc). BUT, if I could make one, it would be a mod to add new biomes. I was very excited to see the Jungle biome added to 1.2, and I got to thinking about other biomes that would be a nice addition.
So far, I've considered Riparian zones and glaciers, though such things would probably fall more into the "structures" portion of the code like abandoned mineshafts and NPC villages. I have noticed from time to time that there will be odd areas of exposed rock while exploring the world. I typically call areas like that "wasteland". So I thought that might be a cool one to add, as well. Karsts would also be cool, though more of a structure than a biome. Other content would be stuff like coral reefs, ocean trenches that go to bedrock, shipwrecks that would contain treasure and stuff... that sort of thing.
Now, for the NETHER... I would love to see soulsand beaches near lava, and nether-specific vegetation, including fireproof trees. One of my more developed ideas is the glowstone cliff biome, which is exactly what it sounds like. Then the obsidian cavern, which would be like an overhang of obsidian with HUGE glowstone stalactites hanging down from it en mass, with smaller stalagmites on the floor. Then there would also be nether-specific ores, new mobs, and I could go on for a very long time with all my ideas, but I'm afraid this post has already reached tl;dr length! D:

Spinach. If you don't like vegetables, eat spinach. You get the most bang for your buck with that one. You get 510% of your daily recommended value of vitamin K in one serving.

What is the primary function of vitamin K?

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that stores itself in your body fat (and liver). Its main function is to help blood clot (more specifically, coagulate). So, an example of how it would benefit you:

Let's say you've got a problem with nose bleeds. The kind that you have to literally shove a tissue up your nose to stop it, but then it just pools in your sinuses and goes down your throat (Ick!). Vitamin K will put a stop to that. In my personal experience, cuts that would bleed for five minutes now stop in about thirty seconds.

Now, it's not going to help a whole lot if, say, your arm gets hacked off, but for minor injuries, you will notice a difference within a few days of eating a spinach salad.

I like spring because of the rain and thunderstorms. I'm not particularly fond of the nasty thunderstorms that bring with them hail and tornadoes, but standard thunderstorms are very calming for me. There's also the fact that everything is turning green.

Meltdown
Special Fire-type
Power 500 Accuracy -- PP 1
Poisons user, burns up its held item, remaining attacks' PP are reduced to 1, and attack and special attack drop to -6 regardless of prior stat boosts. The only means of avoiding is Shadow Force. Requires one turn to charge.

So power wise, it's a fire-type de-nerfed explosion. Overpowered? Probably. Do I care? Not really. As for the animation...
On the first turn, the user glows white and the sound effect for earthquake is played. On the second turn, background takes on a dull red hue and displays a radiation hazard sign while a warning siren sounds. The sign fades away, but the siren continues as the user glows again. Once the glowing reaches its peak, a shockwave shoots out and the camera angle shifts upward to look at the nuclear mushroom from below. Then the siren and the graphics fade out.

Unfortunately, the funniest things are always "You had to be there" things.
Here's the first thing that came to mind. My siblings and I found a picture my sister had drawn many, many years ago. The people in the picture looked like they had noses for left ears and right ears on their necks. I borrowed a quote from the Fairly Odd Parents saying, "That thing on your neck. Is that your ear?" Then my brother made a noise like he was throwing up and slapped his hand on the paper and said, "Oh, it looks better now!"

Neither is that creative or pleasing in my eyes. If quilava had the blue fire like that bloated piece of pork Emboar, then quilava would win. If I had to pick one or the other, I'd go with glaceon because eeveelution.

English and Spanish. That's it. Spanish is more of just dabbling. I could MAYBE hold out a decent conversation with a 4-year old.

Why do I feel like I've been asked this before? Y'know, I decided to do a little more looking into the definition of explosion. Turns out that any time there is a localized pressure change there is an explosion. There are, however, two different categories of explosions, being deflagrations and detonations. The title of my question thread is implying the latter. However, many of my attacks are indeed capable of releasing supersonic shock waves, making them detonations. Either way, I have in fact exploded.

It's hard to get more powerful when you're already the most powerful and versatile quilava on the internet. There's also the distinct lack of RP battlers that battle the way I do, but if there is someone out there who thinks they can deal with a volcano, bring it on >:3

For the inexperienced quilava, any sort of head wear is problematic due to the tendency for fire to burn stuff. Yeah, we can turn off the flames and put on the hat, but my personal preference is to let my fire burn nice and bright for all to see. After all, the best way to judge a quilava's strength is by the intensity of its fire. Some of us are known to be particularly fond of fedoras, though.

As for sunglasses, those are a bit more manageable. I wear regular glasses for my near-sightedness. It's hard to describe, but you just learn to "balance" them on your nose. Refer to my avatar or most of my other quilava drawings for a reference.

Oh wow, it's so hard to choose. For my favorite mob, Iron Golems. How can you not love a gentle giant that hands out flowers to baby squidwards? It's a guardian for the innocent, and that's just awesome.

My favorite item... Chests. They hold things. ALL THE THINGS. They have treasure. They have loot. You never know what's in them until you open them.

Then again, you have a moment kind of like this one when you open the chest and there's nothing but string and gunpowder in it.

I was bullied throughout elementary school because I was fat, slow, and naive. If people were talking about something and I asked what it was, they said I was "too young", even if I was older than them (I was the third youngest in the class). I was almost always last to finish running the mile in physical education class, and typically just picked on in general.

You mean like African Senegal and Budgerigar down in the living room? Yeah. My preference is toward smaller birds like the Budgerigar, though. They can't bite as hard.
