Nope, because she keeps all her other vision related skills as per standard AW2.

By default she has these abilities:

Day to Day:
Hidden HP
+1 Vision
1.5x Power Counterattacks
+10/-10 Luck Range

CO Power:
+2 Vision
Can now see into woods and reefs in fog

SCO Power:
1.0x Counterattacks
Counterattacks Strike First
+2 Vision
Can now see into woods and reefs.

What my hack does is add the ability to summon fog to the CO Power, so yeah. It's going to be a part of one of my bigger hacks (Namely, my AW2 Balance project), but I thought I'd release it anyhow as a standalone.

Well, we've got a silent phone number and we changed our phone number a few years back. Hence we almost never get wrong numbers and the like. Maybe once a year or so.

Why is there so much free space in RUBY/Fire Red and the other advance generation Pokemon games. There is megabytes of the stuff


Well, one would assume that they had more data than could fit into a 4mb GBA chip, and hence decided that because they're using an 8mb chip they can spread it out? Or 16mb in Fire Red/Emerald's case.

My AW2 Balance Project has actually been going on for quite a while (Linky)

It was actually the reason I learned to hack in the first place. To rebalance all the COs. I will willingly admit that my 1.10 release of the Balance hack is a bit boring, hence why I'm attempting to make it more interesting with the various ASM hacks that'll be in the next release of it (2.0; Which is going to be called the 'I screwed with everything' version).

Essentially, the COs are going to be rebalanced with Hawke used a yardstick. So, a good portion of the COs will be weakened, and a nice bunch will be brought up a bit.

The earliest experience one has had similar to romhacking was creating plugins for Escape Velocity: Nova.

it used the rather archaic (even by that point in time, which was a good 6 years ago or so) Mac OS Classic Resource Fork to create its data. I also taught myself hex by it's use of bitfields.

It has a very similar feel to hacking when doing it the traditional way anyhow. I never did anything spectacular, just creating some new weapons, systems, planets, etc. I was starting to get the hang of Mission Bits and Cron processes too.

But then hey, I kinda got bored of it. I've done it on and off. Which is now a lot harder as I can't run Resedit on my Mac, as Intel macs don't do Classic support, and resedit has long since been antiquated. Oh well, SheepShaver to the rescue.

Edit: I lie. I did actually create one useful plugin. It was a patch to tone town the Vell-Os Winter Tempest's animation because it literally tore my G3 iBook a new one when I used it. I think its probably still up on Ambrosia's Plugin Archive.

I have no idea. I get emails daily. Most of which I need to respond to.

But to answer the topic, I just use the web interfaces mostly. Means I can check my email everywhere.

Bugs don't bite me. I appear to be the least interesting target to them. Everyone else around me gets munched first. I must run cool or something.

Layout block is the one reason that I never gouged anyone with a rusty spoon on the old board. I much prefer it without any layouting whatsoever personally.

Hmm..this game interests me, but I will fully admit that I wasn't keen on Wario Land 4 at all. I never played 3, but I loved 1 and 2.

Which of the earlier Wario games does the game most feel like?

Hmm...

First Year University Subjects:

Chemistry IA/IB
Difficulty: 3/5
My Rating: 4/5
Grade: 78/76 (Distinction)

Twas fun. Beat the pants off HSC Chemistry. ;

Japanese ISA
Difficulty: 2/5
My Rating: 1/5
Grade: 75 (Distinction)

This was a borefest. I dropped it quickly.

Physics for the Life and Earth Sciences IA/IB
Difficulty: 4/5
My Rating: 3/5
Grade: Distinction/Credit

Good fun. Not the highest level of physics I could have done first year, but I was never that brilliant at it, so I took the intermediate course.

Geology: Earth's Environment
Difficulty: 3/5
My Rating: 3/5
Grade: Credit

I enjoyed it, apart from the soils section which was rather dull. It wasn't overly difficult or demanding, but good for a first year subject to replace my dropped Japanese in second semester.

Biology MGC A
Difficulty: 3/5
My Rating: 3/5
Grade: Credit

Yay. First Semester biology. Was decent, nothing special.

Biology of Organisms
Difficulty: 3/5
My Rating: 0/5
Grade: N/A - Withdrew before required date

This course sucked arse. I withdrew from it before I permanently hated myself. I actually managed to fall asleep in a few lectures. That never happens. Ever.

Biology: Human Perspectives
Difficulty: 3/5
My Rating: 3/5
Grade: Credit

I took up the other biology Semester 2 course. Was much more fun.

Second Year Subjects:
Chemistry IIA
Difficulty: 4/5
My Rating: 2/5
Grade: Credit

First semester chem. I found it really hard because it was mostly physicsy physical chemistry. Which I'm not very good at. ;

Chemistry IIB
Difficulty: 4/5
My Rating: 5/5
Grade: Distinction

Blah, I missed out on a High Distinction by 2% ; On the other hand it was almost all organic chemistry and I absolutely loved it, despite it being hard.

Genetics IIA
Difficulty: 3/5
My Rating: 4/5
Grade: Credit

2% off a distinction for this as well. ; But this course was a lot of fun. <3 genetics.

Biochemistry IIA

Currently doing this...seems okay, but I liked genetics better.

Is there anything actually intrinsically wrong with the PS3 console?


It costs about twice as much as a console should.

No, a console should be affordable. I don't care what anyone says, $1000 AUD is not affordable.

Its a Setzer sprite added to a spiffy cheap cloud effect that I did in photoshop in 5 minutes. Yeah. Still looks better than my older Setzer avatar, but the pink background was badarse.
