I've been playing it here and there the last two weeks. I'm at the end, but want to hold that off so I can get extra stuff, like Ulitma weapon. But, I am at level 99 though. I'll confess it was easy, but it must I must tell you; it takes away from the game. But right now I'm messing around with my Gummi ship, which is way more fun than the last. I thought reaction commands and limits were easy though. They added something to the game, but I felt they could have been fleshed out more. All I need to do is press Triangle, which is silly, and I feel it should take more than that. Also, am I not the only one mad because they replaced Aero with Reflect?

[quote name='Nomura][B][COLOR=DarkRed]"Heehee.... Got her right where I want her..." [/COLOR'] [/B][/quote] This one is a good one. Everybody knows Leon wants to hurt Ashley so much! Always wandering around and getting caught. [QUOTE=The Boss][color=darkgreen][size=1] [B]Leon:[/B] Damn It Ashley! Could you NOT see the 3 foot long Bear Trap in front of you?![/color][/size][/QUOTE] I liked this one as well. [quote name='Ikillion][COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]".....Yet another blond moment."[/FONT][/SIZE'][/COLOR][/quote] You take the win though. This one made me crack up. So, I pick [b]Ikillion[/b] to go next.

Big Boss: And then he pulled my pants off? Solid Snake: Errrr? I?m on a mission commander? Outer Heaven and all? Big Boss: SHUT UP! It gets lonely on the battlefield? Now back to my story...

You can get an STD from pretty much everything. Thinking about that, there was that one time I got Gonorrhoea at that gas station restroom? On a lighter side of things, sex is a great step in a relationship. I?m personally fine with it as long it?s not casual. It shows trust between two people in a relationship. Even with its risk, it shows what you would do (or won?t) for your lover. Also, protection isn?t like some magical barrier. You can still get an STD or pregnant with them, and most have side effects. Caps can cause all kinds of nice infections, and condoms can be torn with the fingernails or teeth. -edit- [quote name='KatanaViolet']I have never heard of this one, what is it?[/quote] Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), which causes Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), a cancer also found in cases of AIDS.

Snakes on a Plane and a DOA movie in the same month!?! I just wetted my pants guys. Come on, the movie has- 1. Boobies. 2. Ninjas. 3. Boobies. What more does it need with that combination? This is going to rock more than a Chuck Norris flick.

Old school wise, Thundercats or Ronin Warriors. Nothing on Toonami has ever really interested me though. I liked most of the Gundam series they've aired, my favorites being Mobile Suit Gundam and The 08th MS Team. Even though Gundam Wing really started the more mature side of it, I never saw much of it. And G Gundam had a whacked out and confusing story. Those or Big O and Blue Submarine No. 6. Both, like the Gundam series, were much more mature than pervious material. Blue Sub's CGI really blew me away as a kid, because I had never seen a cartoon with special effects like that. And Big O was Batman cool. Too bad Toonami is back to airing more kiddy base stuff. That, and they got rid of their weekly schedule, to replace it with even [b]MORE[/b] kid stuff.

You now have angel wings, and can fly anywhere you want... Sadly though, while flying low over the People's Republic of China?s forests, you are tranquilized. You are captured after you crash to the ground, and they believe you are the last of an endangered species of bird. Though you can talk, they think you're echoing The Honeymooners, and study you. After they?re done, and have clipped your wings, you are put into a zoo to live your last days in a foreign land. I wish I could jump into a pool of Jell-O, happily swimming in it while naked.

[quote name='tanukioh']^_^ ok, first off, to every rule, there is an exception. This is true in pretty much everything. So dragons could have large minds, capable of all kinds of emotions, and be comletely benivelent (for the most part since all eastern mystical creatures can be good or bad depending on the individual creature in question). O.o also, I think that regardless of brain size, all life forms have emotions.[/quote] If every rule has and exception, how does it apply to "pretty much everything"? Humans have a complex brain, and thus a larger amount of emotions. While reptiles have simple brains, with very low levels of emotion. So, if these dragons are reptiles, how do they have such high levels of thought and emotion, while their class (Sauropsids/ Reptilia) has low levels? Anyway, I believe I've seen nothing use such powers. That must explain why these dragons are such elusive creatures though.

I doubt any non-mammalian can have a higher thought level than mammals do, seeing how they have small brains. Reason is a very high level of thought, and reptilian brains probably can do very little of it, if any. It is also highly unlikely they could have had any benevolence. Also, you never answered how they floated or why they had the ability to control water and weather. If we could shape shift, our whole bodily systems would had to be rearranged, and we would have to gain and depose of the features of the object we would had transformed into. But, that is ultimately impossible, and the only creature that has such an ability to change form is and octopus. Though, octopus can only change the shape and size of their bodies, because they lack any skeleton, and have a soft body. So maybe if you could explain to me how skin-walkers change form, which would be helpful.

[quote name='tanukioh']I know, but I also know that the "always slain" thing is not in the Eastern dragon stories, nor is breathing fire. ^_^ Also, if you watched it, the druid lady and her husband said they think dragons are/were real, and that it's all a matter of perception.[/quote] Eastern dragons also float, and I know of no land animal that does so. Even further, they are able to control weather and water, in which no species on Earth can. Why are these dragons nice anyway? If they ate meat, and had a clear advantage over humans, why aren't we extinct? If they walked or still walked this Earth today, how is it a matter of perception? How can something proven by someone exist, but not to anyone else?

People make things they don't understand into things they can. When people saw fire, did they think it was a chemical reaction? No. They attributed it to something else. People saw strange bones from the ground, and they weren?t able to pull them up, so they assumed the fossils were some creature of sort. Though sometimes we do find creatures that we thought never existed, I highly doubt a large, flying reptile that breathes fire is plausible. If they ever existed, there would be at least some physical proof, such as bones and such, seeing how they were always slain. I believe science can prove anything; it's just we, as beings can't. Also, you can't learn everything from TV. The History Channel's documentary about Dragons was all made up by the way, and was just a "what if?" show.

Oh man, talk about it. Me and my friends are already to camp at the theater tomorrow for it. How can a movie with Samuale L. Jackson not be good? Have you seen Pulp Fiction and the first chapters of Star Wars? And have you've seen the freakin' poster?!? [b][url=http://ayokano.250free.com/102418_snakes_l.jpg]It's just so freakin' hardcore![/url][/b]

You know, if I have a clone I might have to kill him. He might turn on me, and start doing things I do. Then become part of the family, and steal my life. And I shouldn't ask how they got my DNA. But... WHAT IF I'M THE CLONE?!? [spoiler]dundun... DUN![/spoiler]

Personally, games to me are more as an entertainment. Some games have artistic qualities to them, but that doesn't make it art. Some games use motion capturing, so does that make them movies? Anybody can program something tasteless and unoriginal, but it takes much more to call it art. It also raises a question, ?Would I put a game in an art gallery, or in a theater? Just because games aren't art, doesn't make them any less enjoyable. Just like art, there are good pieces and bad pieces. Basically, video games are built of different Medias, and art can be one of them if the creator chooses.

Austin lied on the graveled ground, and picked at grass sprouting from the crushed granite. He could feel the earth shake around him as the trains rolled on by, but could not hear them. Most experience freight hoppers were ear plugs. A cat walked by, and butted it?s what face against his hand. ?Hi Clo.? He said happily to the small kitten. The white cat had been his companion for most of the trip, such as when he didn?t have people tagging along. Austin could feel the cat vibrate with its purrs. Back to his train of thought, he didn?t know why she followed him around. Freight hopping is dangerous, but Clo stayed by Austin?s side. The trains stopped rolling by, and he took his ear plugs out. Austin placed them in his pocket for latter use, and closed his eyes. Sleepless nights had taken their toll on him, and as he drifted away while he tried to stay alert. Austin?s nap was short lived though, since he could feel someone shadowing him. ?What?s a boy like you doing here?? The man questioned. The man was old, as old as the last time Austin had seen is grandpa. Unlike his grandfather, this man didn?t have a long beard, but gray stubble. He had brown tanned skin, which looked wrinkled and dried up. The man wore overalls, a white shirt, and worn-out work boots. All of the man?s attire was covered in grease stains. Austin remained quit, as he though what could happened to him. His journey would end, and he?ll probably get sent back home. But home was where he was turning his back too. ?So, are you going to call the bulls or something?? Austin replied. Bulls were officers that patrolled the train yard, looking for hoppers. Though, most of the time yard workers were more understanding than bulls. ?No, but I?m a very lonely man.? He replied jokingly. The old man bent his knees to sit, and it seemed he did it in pain. ?So, where are you heading?? ?The west coast.? ?You?re in luck than.? He informed, ?You?re in Bluesberry, Nevada.? The two sat quietly as the old man stroked Clo?s ears. She purred loudly since she never meows. Austin always found it weird, and thought maybe he was to blame. The silence between them was awkward, and Austin wished he would say something or leave. But the old man didn?t, and just sat their, staring at the ground. ?What?s your name?? Austin asked, finally conjuring the courage to break the silence. ?Henry Richards.? The old man replied.

I don't think it doesn't matter if the threads have the same name. It was on the second page when I looked it up.

[b]Name: [/b] Austin Bennett [b]Gender: [/b] Male [b]Age: [/b] 15 [b]Appearance: [/b] [url=http://ayokano.250free.com/jeid.jpg]Here[/url]- He wears a pair of dark blue jeans and worn out, black leather boots. Austin also always wears a pair of black, leather gloves, and carries a black bookbag with his needed necessities. [b]Sphere:[/b] Gaia Sphere [b]Powers: [/b] Austin can control the ground around him, and he can make it crush, crumble, and quake. Though, this power only covers a small area as of now, and tends to wear out his body. His sphere also gives him strength that is beyond his years, and he uses his weapon with it. But this also wears out his body, and can only be used for a short time in, or out if needed, battle. [b]Country: [/b] United States [b]Personality: [/b] Austin is known for his slacker attitude, in which he never strives for anything. Even though, he usually is cool and calm, never raising his voice or getting frustrated. His easy going attitude is what also makes people tend to like him. Austin?s out look on the world tends to be on the opposite sides of others. He also tends to get in trouble, but usually talks his way out of it. Usually taking the opposite path then the ones he is with, Austin is hard to understand at first. Closed to others, he usually doesn?t speak to those he doesn?t know. Austin is known to open to others though. [b]Weapon: [/b] Mjolnir- A large sledgehammer made of grey rock; it is larger than a normal sledgehammer, with a wider and longer handle and larger head. It is also engraved with almost Celtic like ruins, much like the infamous hammer of the same name. [b]Bio/Snippet: [/b] Austin grew up with in a rich family in Georgia, the oldest of several sons and daughters. He was in a consent struggle with his parents, who wanted him to be the best. Austin had to strive in academics and athletics to make a good name for the family, and to be a role model to his siblings. But he was sick of it, sick of being just an object. So he soon regressed. He stopped getting perfect scores on test, and stop scoring goals in soccer. His parents soon confronted him, and kicked him out of the house. They said they?ll fund him for his own place, and anything he needs. But he didn?t want any of it. Austin wanted to be independent, and soon started to hang with people that Freight hopped, and he soon joined in. It just started as going to other counties, but Austin soon started to go to whole other states. He became in love with the lifestyle, and started to travel the country. Austin now is widely know in the area, and traveled alone unless he brought first-timers along. But, one wouldn?t say he travels alone truly, because he has his cat Clo with him. Now, he is trying to make it across to the west. Austin wants to meet more people, and try to leave Georgia for good. Now it?s just a boy, and his cat.

Next to writing, drawing is pretty much the only way I can get what I'm thinking down. But even writing it down has it limitations. But by drawing it, you can do anything that comes to mind. And I want to be able to do my own comics, maybe even a webcomic. But, I don't feel my ability is what it should be. I don't want to waste time and money putting scribbles on the web. So that's why I practice drawing.

The How to Draw Manga books are for people learning the basics of manga art. If you bought them for copying the style, you've wasted some money. Plus, I wouldn't try to copy someone else's style, mainly because won't do you any good for you artistically. Each artist has their own style, and you'll never be able to do an exact copy of it. Just try to invent your own, and if all you're doing is copying, just try to sit down and doodle a while. I would say copying has some practice value, but it won't help in the long run.

"YEAH! GO KAY!" AC cheered as he jumped from his seat. He wasn't paying much attention to the battle that aired on the screen, but his eyes were fixed on Kay and her Jolteon. She would make a great opponent to test his own electric Pokemon. That was the only reason he was cheering for her. "You're quite a loud mouth." Someone said behind him. The tone was in a kidding matter, but AC took it to heart. He looked back, and it was the Gym leader from Mahogany Town, Hyou. He was sitting with a wide smile. "Well, you better keep your's shut! Because if you haven't seen the chart, I might be going against you." AC shouted to him. He turned head away, and now he was too angry to watch the fight. "Well, only if you get pass Roxas." He said teasingly. AC turn to him with a clueless expression on his face. "Who?" He asked without a clue. He had heard the name before, but didn't recognize it. Come to think of it, he didn't really know anybody here, even if they came from well known gyms. AC bet they thought of him as a small fry, just because he belonged to a smaller, lesser known gym. But he'll show them. "The Fortree City gym leader." Hyou said, pointing to a trainer in the front row. The man was totally fixated on the screen, and AC knew he was watching and studying it. "I heard he trains alot." AC studied his opponent, just like Roxas was studying the ongoing battle. He didn't care who got in the way, be it Roxas, Hyou, Naminé, or any other trainer, AC was going to battle Kay. No title that came with this tournament mattered to him anymore, AC just wanted to battle Kay in it.

I don't know if I over looked this, or if I should just use some common sense, but can people not participating in the battle post? Maybe by talking to other trainiers and on-lookers or choosing to go somewhere else? Just asking.

I was wondering I could have a banner and avi of the band Mando Diao. I would prefer this [b][url=http://www.mando-diao.com/img/gallery/The%20new%20Mando.jpg]one[/url][/b] as the banner, with the words "Down in the Past" on the top left. As the avatar, I would like [b][url=http://www.mando-diao.com/img/gallery/DSC08106%5B1%5D.JPG]this[/url][/b] picture. Just a plain avatar would be fine, no text please. Thank you in advance. Also, if you can't really work with those pictures, [b][url=http://www.mando-diao.com/en/]their[/url][/b] site has alot more under "Gallery".

[b][u]Trainer Information[/b][/u] [b][color=darkorange]Name:[/b] Austin Charleson, but goes by AC. [b]Age:[/b] 18 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/sprites/frlgemtr/frlgemtr101.png[/img] [b]Personality:[/b] AC is known for his loud mouth and bothersome behavior. He is naturally curious, and commonly gets into things, and then takes them completly apart. Someone can get on his bad side easily, and he can hold a grudge easier, but he is no real threat. Most people like AC because of his outgoing attitude, in which he is constantly trying to out do others and himself. [b]History:[/b] AC grew up with his single mother and his three sisters. The youngest of them, his father lefted AC's mother shorty before his birth. None of them knew why he did, but he lefted a deep scar on the family. AC never had a father figure as a young child, and his sisters always blamed him for their father leaving. But AC's mother cared for him, and made sure his sisters didn't pick on him while she was around. AC had always been skilled with machines, and he enjoyed taking things apart and inspecting how they worked. But another thing he enjoyed was Pokemon. This was mainly because his sisters themselves were Pokemon trainiers, and took after their father's small gym when he lefted. He quickly became a trainier to outdo them himself. When the time came, AC defeated them, and they handed over the gym to him to pursue higher goals. He soon became renowned for his use of Electric-type Pokemon, and many advid fans of Electric Pokemon came to train under him. Though, AC didn't know his hidden ability well, since his true skill was as a mechanic. But his ability as a trainer soon matched his natural talent, and he soon had a name for himself in the Pokemon world, right next to his sisters'.[/color] [b][u]Gym Information[/b][/u] [b][color=darkorange]Gym Location:[/b] Mauville [b]Badge Name:[/b] Thunderhead Badge- A yellow arrowhead-shaped badge.

So, yesterday I went shopping with the extra money I got for Christmas. And, I decided to buy a game. So I go to game stop, and bought KOF: Maximum Impact and this one skating game called Yanya Caballista: City Skater. I must say, when my brother showed me the game I really liked the art style. It's from Koei, so I gave it a try and bought it. That didn't work out so well. First off, the game comes with a little deck board you click onto your PS2's controller's analog sticks. And, you turn the controller sideways. The problem was that I got it used, and it didn't come with the deck board. So, I played it with my controller sideways, click the L and R analog stick. I must say I probably would had laugh if I saw myself playing it. But, I must admit that I like the cel-shaded anime look. Plus, the story is kind of cute, because it puts you in a role of a skater who must excite cute litle alien evaders who seem to be into skate boarding. But the controls are awkward and too simple. So, have you ever made a bad game buy? Why did you buy the game?
