The original Twitch plays pokemon was a Twitch based event from a few years back where users of the Twitch Chat could submit button presses based on the layout of an old Game Boy to play Pokemon Red.

Eventually they did manage to beat the game. But along the way it had sparked a huge following and somehow developed it’s own lore based on the pokemon caught and the names they were given. However, at Mount Moon, Twitch decided to take the Helix Fossil, an item that could be used to acquire an Omanyte later in the game. 

Due to the nature of the system, a lot of the time the character just would walk around in circles for hours on end, and one thing that would happen constantly would be that they would open their item menu and try to ‘use’ the Helix Fossil. Since the item had no function, people adopted the idea that they were ‘consulting’ the Helix Fossil for advice, and that it was their lord and saviour.

What makes this Lady Helix so incredible is that, there was an incredibly small chance that they would get to Wonder Trade. And knowing wonder trade, the pokemon you’ll get in return is impossible to predetermine. So for not only them to get an Omanyte, is amazing. But the fact that that Omanyte references explicitly the events of he previous TPP, is nuts

I knew that Twitch plays Pokémon was wild I had no idea that the lore ran this deep. Haha that’s amazing

Oh it gets way better. Due to the random arse nicknames the pokemon got, they adopted monikers to go with it. I’ll run through a couple

ABBBBBBBK( was the starter pokemon, Charmander and was nicknamed Abby. However was released.

JLVWNNOOOO was the player’s Ratata, nicknamed Jay Leno. It was released with Abby, following due to loyalty

aaabaaajss was the TPP Pidgeot, the strongest pkemon on the team, and was chosen by the Helix Fossile. It was nicknamed Bird Jesus. 

Eevee the false prophet, sent by the Dome Fossil. Evolved into Flareon and was released

AATTVVV was the team’s Venomoth, lovingly nicknamed the All Terrain Venomoth. One of the final party.

AA-j was the team’s Zapdos, caught with a masterball and was dubbed Battery Jesus. however, he was a false prophet. Only a short time after it’s capture on the 11th day were a great deal of pokemon were released. It did, however, make it to the end of the game.

AAAAAAAAAA or also known as The Fonz was also one of the last members in the party. A Nidoking that helped leave the team to victory.

I only saw a little bit of the actual stream, but I followed the whole thing. it was amazing.

Pink Poison, the Surprising New Trend That’s Saving Rhinos

Rhino experts discuss a bright approach to keeping poachers away.

1) Does not hurt rhinos

2) Discolours ivory (BRIGHT PINK) thus reducing saleability

3) Can be detected by airport scanners, even if ground up, thus increasing the chances you will be caught

4) Causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if ingested by humans, thus driving away your customer base

Win. Win. Win. Win.

5) makes rhinos look adorable & fashionable

A professional level designer is currently building a “Fallout roleplay server” in Unreal Engine 4

/u/matysm: “Basically each player roams the wastes and can chat with others/fight/loot. However once a player is executed (not the same as your health going to 0) your character dies permanently and you need to make a new one.”

The intent is essentially New Vegas/DayZ with “a sprinkle of roleplaying and exploring”

They’ve already contacted ZeniMax, who essentially gave them the go-ahead as long as they don’t sell it or ask for a subscription fee.

“And for the record this new game I’m making runs off my own engine not off of Fallout New Vegas’ meaning that there’s definetly going to be vast amounts of new content, even if the game still takes place in Nevada.”

So this… sounds… amazing??

It’s been a while since I’ve posted to this blog (and, apologies for the extended hiatus), but here’s some really cool news about a really cool fan project!

You can help out by heading to the Reddit posts (1) (2) and checking out this post about the Discord server for their project!

I’m always willing to boost cool fan works, and this one looks exceptionally promising. The dev is looking for potential alpha testers and anyone who can help improve the final product!
