I caught my first shiny Pokemon ever today!
I was running along route 8 in my Pokemon black, and ran in to a Pokemon. I thought it made that sparkle that shinies did, but I wasn't sure, so I caught it. Lo and behold, when I got back to my box, I checked and it was shiny!

The kind of Pokemon it was:

Images of what it looks like (Phone won't upload pics right now. Will upload tomorrow.):

Wait so are you saying you bought pokemon black/white? or emulator?

My brother has it, and he lets me play it.

sooooo... you caught one for your brother.

No, he wiped his game, and essentially gave it to me

I don't think I ever caught a shiny in Gen IV or V. I have caught 3 I think gen III and 5 (excluding the Red Gyarados) in Gen II.

lol nice, when you think you're ready, let's battle.

I put 200+hours in to Pokemon ruby and got nothing in regards to shiny Pokemon. I was so excited when I saw it lol.

@soccer Sure. I have one gym left, so there's that.

Were you this excited?

Bought Fallout 2 and The Witcher for PC. Both are supposed to be good, so my hopes are high. I think I'm gonna need a mouse for my laptop, though.

Hey I play Batman, Pokemon, and almost any Nintendo games. The all time best computer game is Hannah and the Ice Caves. Also if anyone has a Game Center and wants to become friends just ask and I'll shoot you my name.  

Yeah lol HatIC is quite fun but I'm horrible at it. I'm worse at it than at HatPC, which is saying something.

I don't know how many of you guys heard about the Humble Origin Bundle, but it was awesome.

I saw it, didn't buy because I don't play any of those games. =p

I don't know which ones I'll play either, but I wanted to at least own them.  I did want BF3, and Mirror's Edge, and though I have Burnout: Paradise for the PS3, it is nice having it for the PC now.

Really the only thing preventing me from downloading and actually playing all the games at least once is our freaking 150GB monthly bandwidth.  I'm downloading BF3 right now and that thing is 20.3GB alone.

I wish I had known about that. It would've been nicer if it was for the PS3, but I still would've bought it.

I've wanted to play the Dead Space games and Mirror's Edge for a while, but I'm just more of a console gamer at heart. I bought a bunch of PC games like a month ago when I got my laptop, and told myself that I'd play them, but haven't gotten around to any of them

And Burnout Paradise... to this day it's still probably my favorite PS3 game, even beating Skyrim and Dragon Age: Origins. It's just so replayable, and a great stress reliever. But part of the fun is that I can just pop it in, select the best cars in the game and **** **** up. I'm not sure if I could go through finding every single secret path, and beating every single race, burning route, and time road rule (those were probably the worst) again. Let alone do all that on a PC. And when I think Ultimate Box, I think it'd include every single piece of DLC, but it's just the free updates IIRC.

Right now I'm playing 3D Dot Game Heroes, it's decent and has a great sense of humor (I am playing as a gorilla, but I am still the descendant of the legendary hero) but has gotten old pretty quickly. I'm just biding my time until I can afford Demons Souls, Dark Souls, Dragons Dogma: Arisen, Portal 2, The Last Of Us (Anyone here play this? Spoiler-free thoughts?), and Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection. Those alone could probably keep me busy until I'm old enough to waste money on booze instead of video games .

TLOU thoughts:
A decent game, very repetitive and way way overhyped.

Is it true there's a ridiculous amount of cutscenes? I've heard it's like Uncharted + Stealth Games, which I would be okay with since I always thought the stealth aspects of the Uncharted series was one of the consistently good parts through all three games.

Its a lot of sneaking around and restarting when you get seen, because if you get seen, instant death. I found it annoying because you have pretty much no means of defending yourself, you just die. Its not that similar to uncharted, there's very little action.

This describes what I felt while playing, if you ignore the sarcasm and comedy in it its a very accurate review, especially the "Third person strangler part".
