Too much alcohol:
Don't sweat the details!!!
So, I built a team on Showdown. I went for UU instead of OU for now because frankly, I was finding myself unable to pick where to start. As I told Khaz yesterday, I tried my best to balance it. Haven't tested yet because I'm being unable to find battles due to some error right now.
I'll be posting it here, criticism is welcome.

My thought process was: First I picked something I liked. I really like Mega Beedrill, but haven't yet had a chance to use it at all. So I took Beedrill as my first pick. Then I took Rotom-H. Reason for this pick was because this form of Rotom can take fire moves that would decimate Beedrill (along with nasty Will-O-Wisps), Levitate avoids ground moves (while not a weakness, they are commonly physical, and any physical move will turn Beedrill into a marking on the nearest wall), in addition to being able to take possible psychic moves that would hurt Beedrill badly, and resisting Flying moves.
Then I realized that I was only 2 pokemon in, and already had a huge Stealth Rock (and rock type in general) weakness. So I needed something to remove hazards. I was checking my options and noticed another personal favourite of mine had fallen to UU: Starmie. I decided to take Starmie as my Spinner, and built it to also be a threat offensively. It can also take water and psychic moves (you know... once or twice) that would hurt Beedrill and Rotom.
At this point I realized I needed something to both take physical hits, and actually resist rock type moves. I thought Chesnaught was a good pick, because its weaknesses are already covered, and it can also force some switches with Leech Seed. I thought it'd be a good idea to give it Spikes. Also thought Rocky Helmet would be a nice item for it to punish attackers, since I have recovery from Seeds and Drain Punch (STAB move).
Two more slots. At this point heck if I knew what to do. I thought I was doing pretty great covering weaknesses and such. I decided to get something that can put a colossal dent on things and break walls. So I went for our lord and savior, Choice Band Aggron. Not much to explain.
Nidoking was mostly for the same reason as Aggron, only on the Special side.
Phew, that was a long post.
Damnit. The day I finally dig out my 4 years old computer case and decide to put it in good use I find out that it's 700W PSU is dead.
What I did was that I migrated the interior of my parents's HP computer into the bigger case so that I could use better GPU with it. This computer actually has pretty good CPU and memory on it, but as per usual for the "Walmart Computers" the GPU was utterly terrible: Geforce GT 420. So I took my old case, migrated any good parts from the HP into it, plugged in a GTX 560 ti and turned it on... only to have the LEDs and fans barely starting up and the PSU whined miserably. It clearly looked like a power supply proglem, so I put the GT 420 back in, did external installation for the old 460W HP PSU and booted it again, and it worked fine.
Quess I'll have to buy a new PSU tomorrow...
I love UU, it was my favorite tier in 5th gen, by far. Solid team, the only thing I would change is Starmie's ability. Analytic is nice extra damage for slower pokemon like Magnezone, but Starmie is one of the faster pokemon out there, so it won't really get any use out of it. I would take Natural Cure instead, it allows you shake of any status condition by switching out, which is great because burn and poison damage can start to rack up when combined with life orb recoil. Other than that, solid looking team.
But Lord Helios i BL though
Delta Episode abridged.
In games, it's thanks to her that we can even explore this MegaRayquaza option. Obviously she couldn't do everything herself because this would leave nothing for us to do. :P
And I didn't watch that ep yet so I loved the part she played in the story.
One of the best characters, in my opinion.

Actually the thing MegAggron could borrow from MegaSteelix would be better special stats distribution. Less SpAtk, more SpDef.
