Though many are focused on the upcoming "Pokemon Alpha Sapphire" and "Pokemon Omega Ruby" games you shouldn't forget about the sixth-generation "Pokemon X and Y" titles. If you remember late last year leaks of the legendary "Pokemon X and Y" trio in the form of Diancie, Volcanion and Hoopa were revealed.
Back in November 2013 a hacker named Smealum leaked all the information about Diancie, Volcanion and Hoopa with pics and even "Pokemon X and Y" new attacks. While Diancie was officially revealed Hoopa and Volcanion were never mentioned by Nintendo. But with GameFreak's confirmation of Mega Diancie this led many fans to believe the other legendary Pokemon were coming soon.
Does the confirmation of Diancie mean gamers can expect Mega Volcanion and Mega Hoopa soon? Well that's up for debate. Mega Diancie, Sceptile and Swampert weren't leaked prior to their official announcement at E3 2014 early this month, yet gamers recieved all three. As iDigital Times reports Nintendo is capable of sending out new updates of "Pokemon X and Y" at any time so gamers can definitely expect not only those legendary pokemon but a plethora of other Mega Evolutions.
Meanwhile, thanks to Smealum again, it is rumored that Mega Latios and Latias have been lying in wait and locked away inside "X and Y" game carts for some time now. While it isn't known how the Mega Evolutions will be unlocked Pokemonxandpokemony.com have revealed the megas will come with new and interesting type and ability changes.
According to the blog Mega Latios will remain a Dragon/Psychic type pokemon but will gain the Adaptability ability. With this, Mega Latios will receive double attack power when it comes to STAB (same type attack bonus). As for Mega Latias, this pokemon will receive a type chane with Dragon/Fairy as well as a new ability. Mega Latias receives Multiscale allowing the pokemon to receive half damage from attacks when it has full HP.
The bid, which was submitted to the houses of the Oireachtas last month following Ireland’s latest Euroflop, came courtesy of an association called The People Of Ireland (And Interested Britons Too).
But unfortunately for chief petitioner Finn McCool, the prospect of seeing the equine anthem on the stage in Austria next year looks unlikely to become reality after the government rejected the petition.
While the petitions committee is reported to have considered the request, it ultimately declared that it could not force RTE – the national broadcaster of Ireland – to send the song in 2015.
Chairman Padraig MacLochlainn added that the committee did ‘not have the musical expertise’ needed to take the petition further.
My Lovely Horse – penned by Divine Comedy frontman Neil Hannon – achieved a kind of infamy after it appeared in the second series of the Channel 4 show.
The episode saw Father Ted (Dermot Morgan) and Father Dougal McGuire (Ardal O’Hanlon) make their bid to represent Ireland at ‘Eurosong 96′ – a spoof of Eurovision – with their song.
However supporters of the petition would have been unlikely to realise their dream even if the Irish parliament had approved it.
That’s because Eurovision rules state entries must not have been released prior to the September before the event – rendering My Lovely Horse tragically ineligible.
Despite being the most successful Eurovision nation of all time – with seven previous wins under their belt – Ireland went home empty-handed from this year’s contest in Copenhagen after performers Can-Linn and Kasey Smith crashed out at the semi-final stage.
Next year’s contest will take place in Austria following Conchita Wurst’s victory last month, although the host city has yet to be determined – with Vienna, Graz, and Innsbruck all in the running.
Robert F Kennedy Junior will marry actress Cheryl Hines within weeks - despite allegations that he cheated on her, MailOnline can reveal.
It is claimed the environmental lawyer had an affair with Chelsea Kirwan, the estranged wife of surgeon to the stars Laurence Kirwan behind the back of his fiancée Cheryl Hines.The pair were pictured together at an event in Seattle in April 2013 and their friendship is believed to have spanned the past two years.
However, a source confirmed Bobby and Cheryl are most certainly still getting married.RFK Jf, who is in Cuba on work this week, and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Cheryl are believed to be tying the knot at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Mass, this summer, during the family's annual reunion. Close friends and family, including RFK Jr's mother Ethel Kennedy, 86, will be in attendance.
Cheryl, 48, is said to be extremely close to the Kennedy scion's six children, in particular his teenage daughter Kyra, 19, who has been living with Cheryl in Los Angeles following the tragic death of her mother Mary Richardon in May 2012.
MailOnline told this week how Bobby, 60, and Chelsea, 42, met in a gym in Armonk, New York. Chelsea, a mother-of-four, is currently going through a bitter divorce from Laurence Kirwan a high-profile surgeon with offices in London, New York and Connecticut. And a source close to Prof Kirwan, 62, told MailOnline: ‘He was well aware that his wife and Bobby had a friendship before their split and that they have had ongoing telephone calls.’It is believed a friendship started well before the Kirwans separated on July 4, 2012 - and a source reveals how Chelsea’s cell phone records show she was speaking to RFK Jr five times a day in August 2012.
In 2013, the New York Post published extracts from RFK Jr.’s private diary, leaked by an anonymous friend of Richardson. In it, Kennedy detailed daily activities, speeches, political activism and the lives of his six children in the year 2001. But he also recorded the names of women — with numbers from 1 to 10 next to each entry. The codes corresponded to sexual acts, with 10 meaning intercourse, Mary told a confidant. There are 37 women named in the ledger in 2001, 16 of whom get 10s.
“The most controversial song of the decade.” That was the name given by UK’s The Guardian to Robin Thicke’s “rapey” single “Blurred Lines.”
But that’s old news. What has people talking now is his twisted new single, “Get Her Back.” Yes, despite dozens of schools banning his music, countless bloggers condemning his last hit and rape survivors speaking outagainst his lyrics, Thicke has managed to record a song possibly even more warped.
On Monday, Thicke released the music video for “Get Her Back,” purportedly his way of pining for his estranged wife, Paula Patton, who left him after his rumored infidelity. In fact, his new album’s title is Paula, in case she didn’t pick up on the fact that “Still Madly Crazy,” “You’re My Fantasy,” “Lock the Door” and “Love Can Grow Back,” to name a few of the song titles, seem centered on their split-up. You may be thinking, “Hmm, the names of these sound like some kind of abuser’s checklist.” And you’re not the only one.
But the first single from the album has enough stalkerish-ness in it to predict what we’ll hear on the rest of the album, to be released July 1. The song’s lyrics are relatively mild, by Thicke’s standards, but still seem to allude to acts of sexual aggression. A fair assumption, since it’s not like he hasn’t sung words of a similar theme before.
The U.S. Department of Justice defines stalking as “a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention, harassment, contact or any other course of conduct directed at a specific person” and says that it can include “Posting information or spreading rumors about the victim on the internet, in a public place, or by word of mouth,” “Repeatedly leaving or sending victim unwanted items, presents or flowers” and “Making direct or indirect threats to harm the victim”.
Let’s see here. Naming an album blatantly after your estranged wife? Making public alleged text messages between the split-up couple in a music video? Giving songs aggressive names like “Whatever I Want”? Indicating that he won’t stop his antics until she’s his again? Check, check, check and check.
But in case that weren’t enough, the video itself is quite telling. Thicke spends half the time staring into the camera with his attempt at the puppy-dog face, switching it up with blood and sweat decorating his cheeks. What does this allude to, exactly? Does this mean you’re going to put blood, sweat and tears into bringing your ex-wife back, Mr. Thicke? Surely Winston Churchill did not intend his words as a metaphor for misogyny when delivering his famous speech.
The video also features a naked woman, her body shown in parts to objectify her further, and switches for split seconds to frightening images of Thicke contorting his hands into a gun pointed at his head, a black edifice with an eye peering out of it, a creepy Transformers-like mask and a bloody brain. Are these supposed to be subliminal threats?
Not so subliminal is the text conversation plastered on the screen throughout. Patton—if the messages are, indeed, from her—says things like, “How could you do that to me?” and “You’re reckless.” Meanwhile, Thicke repeatedly pleads for her attention, asking if he can talk to her, if he can see her and telling her he has written an entire album just for her.
Finally, Patton’s supposed text says, “I have to go”, to which Thicke replies, “This is just the beginning”. This is just the beginning? Um, cue the evil villain laugh. In all seriousness, if that’s not a threat, I don’t know what is.
In just a few days, Thicke has already managed to receive a slew of condemnation for his video, song and album. Even one of the more lighthearted and hilarious commentaries, YouTuber DionYorkie’s parody of the song (skip to 1:30), reveals the obvious desperation/creepiness of it all.
In conclusion, a message to Robin Thicke on behalf of Paula Patton and feminists everywhere: Enough already.
A Vancouver reality TV personality was grilled on the stand during her divorce trial for most of the day Thursday by her former husband’s lawyer, who questioned what the woman claimed she was earning and spending.
I applaud @WhiteHouse decision to ban #LGBT discrimination at fed contractors. House must act on #ENDA. A matter of basic human dignity.
