[quote name='ChibiHorsewoman][color=darkviolet']Ususally there are age restrictions on things like movies and video games which are meant to 'protect' children and give parents some guidelines of what they may or may not feel appropriate for their children to watch. But what if the age restriction was on a place where people go to eat?[color=black][/quote][/color][/color] [color=darkviolet][color=#000000][/color][/color] [color=darkviolet][color=#000000]I hardly think it's appropriate at all to be comparing or using the FCC or ESRB in a discussion about dining establishments establishing a few age restrictions. The key difference regards the fact that video games like Duke Nukem are electronic medium, very easily accessible to minors, meaning the parents must be informed and kept abreast of particular content issues, some of which are often risque or suggestive dialogue, and/or partial nudity, although this (nudity) is rare in the majority of consumer games.[/color][/color] While one could certainly draw a comparison between games/films and bars in these terms, as one cannot argue against the fact that bars are places to go to meet women or men, and certainly, foul language and some suggestive attire will be seen. [i]However[/i], while the content may be similar, the format is incredibly different. A 17-year-old simply cannot get into a nightclub as easily as he or she can buy the recent Mortal Kombat release, or Doom III when it is released on Xbox later this year. Electronic entertainment is a much more accessible medium of entertainment, and quite frankly, because it is so much more accessible to minors and those not of legal age, what bearing does it have at all on bars/nightclubs, which have things called [color=black]"bouncers," "ID checks," and generally, "security?"[/color] [color=black]Also, it's not as if the gaming/film industry has been exactly pro-active in their ratings restrictions, heh. Only in the past 10 years or so (give or take 3) have they really started monitoring themselves, and that's only after some outraged politicans/mothers. So...if this bar wants to restrict their range of patrons, without any pressure from "political activists," more power to them. You don't like it, don't eat there, lol.[/color] [color=black][/color] [color=black]I was watching TV yesterday, and they had a special on Married...With Children, and some outraged mother in Wisconsin deemed it necessary to go on a crusade against the show for vulgarity. I was watching this ridiculous, self-righteous "I'm doing it for the children" midwest mother go after Married...With Children, and thought to myself, "She has no idea how the world works, does she?"[/color] Anybody who complains or feels so terribly threatened by an age-restriction on a bar, I say the same thing about them. [color=black] [/color] [color=darkviolet][color=black][QUOTE][/color]I'm kind of agrivated about this, but nobody can actualy do anything to make the resturaunt owners change their policy becaus ethey had clearly stated it in yesturday's paper that they would now only serve 25 and older. [b]But still this is a typoe of age discrimination[/b].[color=black][/QUOTE] [/color] [color=#000000][/color] [url="http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/age.html"]http://www.eeoc.gov/facts/age.html[/url] [color=black][/color] [/color][color=#000000]Nope. It's not age discrimination at all. Age discrimination deals specifically with [i]Employment[/i], not entrance into a nightclub. If it was age discrimination, then we would have heard some major uproar and revolution long before this.[/color] This also reminds me of a recent case ruling I heard about on the radio. Apparently, a group of males sued a club/bar for sexual discrimination, simply because the females were given discounted drinks or something to that effect on Ladies' Night. The judge agree with the guys, deemed it sexual discrimination. People are getting way, way too carried away with the whole "[insert quality of appearance here] discrimination" and "being politically correct 24/7" thing. People who ***** and moan about this stuff get on my nerves, because what they're saying is so far from the truth that it's laughable.

The challenger, Alex, lays there silently, facedown, embedded in the sod and earth. His hair is matted wet with red, his yellow jumpsuit now stained crimson. He makes not a sound, and no sound is heard from the audience as they sit there, their mouths half agape, their hot dogs half-chewed for all to see. In the heavy canvas of silence, a baby cries, its screams slicing open the air and its tears running as if they poured from the fresh and open wounds that cover Alex's body. This is a day to remember, as a once great and promising youth has been cut down in twain by this giant, this Goliath known as Charles. Charles muses upon this, and it pleases him greatly. His cheek still throbs, but the pain is dulled by the tingle of power that now courses through his veins. Charles no longer tastes blood in his mouth, and no longer smells the grime and filth of Thunderdome. To him, the blood is his wine, and the grime smells like Victory. His lips part, and the arena shakes with his laughter. His laugh is that of a beast, of a Predator, unmatched in combat. It reaches into the pit of the human existence, stirring a primal fear that can only be the first sign of the end. Charles knows what pitiful creatures the humans are, and it is with this knowledge that he takes such a delicious pleasure in destroying yet another brave but misguided young man. Charles looks to the lifeless corpse, buried three-foot into the ground. "His essence is lost," Charles sneers, "He is no more; I have extinguished his flame." He turns to the audience. "Let this miserable insect set an example to all those who dare oppose the likes such as I," he says, "Let it be known, that should you mortals dare challenge me, in arena or otherwise, I shall smite ye. I shall cut ye in half, and bury you like I have done this day, to this...boy!" "Look!" a man shouts. The audience gasps. The man continues, "It is Alex! He still lives!" Charles whips around and rushes to the grave, but turns back to speak. "You fool! He does not move! Your eyes deceive you! You are a weak and pitiful worm and I shall show thee that this boy has not life in him!" He approaches the grave. Nothing stirs. Under his breath, he says, "Give respect to the departed. Bah. You are departed, but I give you no respect. You must learn your place, and if ye cannot learn, then you must be taught. I am the instructor; I am the guide; I...am your teacher--" Charles' gurgle is met with a scream from the audience as a bloodied hand snaps out of the earthen soil and latches hold onto Charles' neck, its fingers digging deeper into his flesh, crushing the bones and cartilage, guiding Charles into the Spirit World.

I just downloaded Mozilla 7.01, and IE now zips along. *scratches head* So peculiar. It works now, at least, I think it does. I'll see how it does later today, or perhaps tomorrow.

I've been experiencing significant MyOtaku Lag/Slowdown lately. Sometimes, my background image (a Starfield created by tiling a smaller image) only shows up, and the main page/images of MyOtaku are...not there, yet other times the main page/images of MyOtaku are there, but the background is a giant, gray field. I've deleted all of my cookies, and set the cookie refresh option to "Each time I visit the page," instead of "Automatically," and that seemed to help significantly, but I'm still noticing lag. I'm running on IE 6.0...something. Is it server-related or just my browser? Should I reformat my machine? lol Thanks, Bean EDIT: Screenshots.

This is a bit off-topic, I remember reading something about an MGS movie a few years ago. It was purely speculation, I'm sure, but the article said something that I feel needs to be considered regarding an MGS movie: "But, with such high production values and the cinematic presentation of Metal Gear Solid, a film version seems redundant." It was something to that effect, but the point stands. I mean, the original MGS [i]was[/i] a playable movie. There was enough gameplay to avoid the calamity of MGS2, obviously, but when it comes to cinema in games, MGS is up there as one of the greatest, and I feel an MGS movie would be [i]extremely[/i] redundant, given what MGS accomplished (the successful blending of silver screen cinema and console gaming).

It sounds more like Franklin's Maxims of Behaviors...the exact name of the work escapes me at the moment, but it was Ben Franklin's guide to living well. Nearly all of what this poem is saying echoes what Franklin encouraged some 150 years before, so it's interesting to see how particular Ideologies and philosophies develop over time. It's a nice poem, certainly, with a nice message, but why not just read Ben Franklin? Sidenote: Lore, luv the siggi!!!1!1!11 OMG, they sould liek totaaly hook-up!!11 :p

Unrelated, but why were you left with a bad taste in your mouth, or left in a bad mood after Bourne Supremacy, Syk? I saw a preview for Harold and Kumar a few months ago, and my reaction was..."WTF," and now that I've seen the longer preview, my reaction is still a variation on "WTF." I'm intrigued by the title itself; it's just so unconventional and...simple, in a sense. It doesn't pretent to be something it isn't, the title doesn't give off some "Greatest Movie Ever Made" vibe, and the logo for the movie itself is pretty catchy. :) After seeing the longer preview, I'm definitely interested in seeing this movie. The comedy looks utterly random, and based on Syk's review, it sounds like a really fun time. I just hope it's stronger than Dude, Where's My Car. I chuckled a few times during Dude, but other than that, I couldn't believe I was sitting there watching it, heh.

I recently saw The Bourne Supremacy in theatres, opening night. Melissa and I got there just as the commercials ended, so we had more than enough time to find our seats and get settled before the film started. Now, I've mentioned this in my Bourne Trilogy thread, but with something like the Bourne series, you absolutely must be there on time, in order to have any hope at all of being able to understand what's happening. Throughout the first 30 minutes, at least 6 people came in, and sat down. If this wasn't bad enough, an hour (yes, an [i]hour[/i]) into the film, a few more people straggle in. It gets far, far worse, lol. In the front of the theatre, a baby starts to whimper, and cell phones ring at rare intervals, but still ring. Now, I have a lot of respect for the Bourne films, and feel that the series is what the modern-day James Bond movies should have been, so it's incredibly annoying that these moviegoers couldn't just catch a later show, instead of coming in an entire hour late, or bringing a [i]9-month-old[/i] to an [i]action/adventure/spy thriller[/i], which has car chases, crashes, gunfights, martial arts, etc. When I saw Kill Bill Volume 1 last Fall, there was this couple who walked in approximately an hour into the film, sat right down next to me, on my left, and for the next 30 minutes, were talking, criticizing the film because they had no idea what was going on. My brother and my cousin are sitting to the right of me, able to hear these ignorant fools, and barely unable to suppress a snicker. After the 30 minutes, this couple leaves. If there is one thing I absolutely cannot stand, loathe to the fullest extent that one can loathe, it is ignorant moviegoers.

Fiddy, if it were only his Xbox, and [i]not[/i] an issue with the AV cables that are packaged with every Xbox sold, then I wouldn't have had the same problem, now would I? lol. If it's a problem exclusive to [i]his[/i] system, then I should not have had any problem at all. But the fact of the matter is, that I experienced the [i]same exact[/i] problem he did, and the solution I offered, the Switcher Box, solved the problem at a minimal cost. The Waves issue is not exclusive to his Xbox, lol, nor his copy of KOTOR. If the AV cables work fine on your system, fine. You don't see the waves. But Zeta here is getting waves, and I've gotten the waves in the past, so clearly, all cables do not work the same, even though they may be the exact same cable. Get what I'm saying? Different entertainment center configurations may give a better or worse picture, and that's what's happening here. [quote][font=Arial][size=1][color=#0000ff]because he does not see it on the tv or does he hear it[/color][/size][/font][/quote] And this piece of evidence does not outright confirm that his Xbox is the issue. In fact, it only further strengthens the analysis that his AV cables are the issue here.

?The Wheatfield? They embraced, their arms cradling each other, still yearning to feel what they once shared. Their times were precious, and nothing now seemed right. Nothing felt right anymore. The embrace was one of love, but there was also something strangely alien about it. They had changed. They both knew this, and they both knew it would not be the same were he to stay. Her head rested on his shoulder, a lone tear sliding down her cheek. It hung there for a moment, then fell, dropping down onto his roughen coat, dampening the leather. She remembered the nights they shared, dancing in the moonlight, the sweet night air filling their pores, a warm and gentle breeze whispering through the trees, nights they would never spend together again. She loved being held in his arms, feeling warm and secure. In his arms, she could do anything, and she could go anywhere. In his arms, there were no limitations. There was no sorrow. There was no remorse. In his arms, there was love and joy, unburdened by the outside world. In his arms, she could feel love. In his arms, she could feel. The embrace ended, and they stood at arm?s length, their hands still clasped together. ?So, this is goodbye,? she asked. ?Yes, it?s time for me to go.? ?I wish you didn?t have to.? ?I know,? he glanced up at the sky, ?It?s that time of year again.? ?Yes, it is.? ?Soon all the leaves will fall, the trees will become bare. The air will chill and the first snow will blanket the fields,? he turned back to her, ?I know you?ll keep everything in order while I?m gone.? He reached his hand up, and gently caressed her cheek. --- I had started this story a few weeks ago and never finished it. I'm posting it to get some feedback, I suppose, as to if I should finish it.

I recently returned home from an Acme/Georgetti's run, as I was out getting some nice dinner-type items for when I make Melissa dinner later tonight. While I'm sitting in my kitchen, eating a Krispy Kreme donut with Jimmies (those things pwn your mom, too), just channel-surfing after putting the lasagna in. I'm flipping back between Comedy Central and VH1, nothing terribly interesting, as it's a lazy Saturday afternoon, so I start surfing right down the listings. I stop on American Movie Classics, because I see a giant ape face staring into the windows of an elevated train. In a movement paying homage to Desbreko, perhaps, I go, "Bwhee!!!" My mom turns and looks at me. I indicate what movie is on right now, and she nods her head in the reassuring "Oh, I see" motion. Now, why would she do that after seeing what movie I was going "Bwhee" to, you might ask? The answer is simple. King Kong (1933) pwnz u and ur mom. I had originally seen it on a network broadcast when I was about six years old, and instantly fell in love with it. The wonder, the intrigue...the [i]magic[/i] of movie monster cinema at its finest. King Kong was a technical achievement--some call it the pinnacle of matting for its time, and I'm inclined to agree. But even in light of its technical merits, Kong was a movie that is just good filmmaking. I don't know of anyone who doesn't crack a smirk or laugh at the banter and wit of the lead characters. It's almost a snappy one-liner every line when we're watching Denham or Driscoll. Two of my favorites lines are Denham's "Now you know why I brought along those gas bombs," and Driscoll's reply to "Are you on deck," "YESSIR." The characters are fun and strong, the acting is exactly what it needs to be, and the action and stop-motion is something to behold. King Kong definitely pwnz u and ur mom, lol.

I've had the same issue with KOTOR, so it's not your Xbox, or your game, or your AV Cables--well, not your AV Cables exactly. For the longest time, I've had both my DVD player AV cables and game system AV cables going into my TV's plugs. I would constantly have to switch them in and out when I would want to play Cube, then switch again to play Xbox. I started getting the lines in KOTOR; they were most noticable in the Undercity on Taris. Back when I had the 'box in my basement, when I had a set-up that was less than optimal (going right into the TV/VCR), I had the waves. Here's what I did. I bought a switcher box, Pelican's Universal Game Selector. You can get it for cheap, 20 bucks or less. Try that before getting a new TV, lol. I plugged all my systems and DVD player into it, and it consolidated everything into one set of AV cables. I tried out KOTOR, no waves at all. Tried a few other games, no waves at all. I honestly think the problem is that the Xbox AV cables just aren't made for certain types of connections, and bringing your system in won't help a cable problem, but certainly don't invest in third-party cables, [i]especially[/i] Mad Catz. Stay away from the Catz. They make great non-electronic accessories (carrying cases, etc), but their controllers/memory cards/cables will destroy your system, lol. As for the Shutting down issue...my Xbox does that occasionally, as well. Every system has mechanical glitches like that. Cube freezes occasionally, my Xbox does, too. PS2 fails more often than either. Hope that helped.

I swear, this summer has been the best summer for movies in a very long time. I caught a 7:40 pm showing of The Bourne Supremacy at a local theatre, and the film is [i][b]amazing[/b][/i]. There are some shocking developments very, very early on, and of course thoughout the film, as well, but quite possibly the most important revelation in the film happens within the first 15 minutes, [i]so get there on time[/i]. I can't begin to tell you how annoyed I got after 13 different people walked in some 20 minutes after the movie started. I can understand walking in late to some romantic comedy or fluffy type of popcorn flick, but with something like the Bourne series, you need to be there from start to finish. I'm not going to go into any plot/characters/etc here, because even if I were to Spoiler tag it, I feel I'd be doing the film itself and everyone here a grave disservice, even if they would want to read what happens or are just interested in why I'm so blown-away right now. Everything you knew in B.I. pretty much gets turned on its head in Supremacy (and some got hit in the head, but I'm not going into that). As you may have expected from B.I., things were going to get complicated, but Supremacy takes that a step further with numerous factions at war with both Bourne himself and each other. There is so much going on in Supremacy that you come close to getting confused, but the film very skillfully walks that fine line between plot complications and plot convolutions. There are something like 3, 4, or 5 different plot-lines going on during the film, but unlike X2, Bourne Supremacy does it right, and makes sure that the individual plots are coherent, rather than feeling slapped in there simply to make a longer film. In fact, because they're doing so much in Supremacy, I started to doubt what they would do with Ultimatum, actually. From what I've read in the novel, Bourne Ultimatum (which is mind-blowingly fantastic), much of that has been included and addressed to completion in Supremacy. So, with all of this going on in Supremacy, that means they're going to be hitting empty for Ultimatum, right? Wrong. Provided you've read Bourne Ultimatum, or at least the first 40 pages, the last 5 lines of Supremacy will make you go absolutely wild. It's...a great launchpoint for the film Bourne Ultimatum. I'll finish this quick and hyper review with the following: [b]GO SEE THIS FILM.[/b]

In the holding areas before the match, the gladiator knew little more than the cold steel grating that imposed a higher will upon him. To the gladiator, when he was confined--caged, in this prison, there was nothing else to muse over, apart from concentrating both mind and body for the upcoming battle, and making ready for that moment when those gates rose and he would step out into the arena. For some, these few precious moments of queer silence and solitude further ignited their desire to kill, and while this was certainly a notable and proper sentiment for many combatants, Selonius did not share that feeling, instead using this time to clear his thoughts, to better prepare him for what may prove a most arduous experience. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, taking in the dry scent of the stone walls. His right hand wrapped lightly around his Trident, which stood next to him. In his left, his net hung gracefully, swaying in the light breeze that went through the tunnel. A silence hushed over the audience in the ampitheater, and with a loud, grinding screech, the gate raised. Selonius entered the arena and marveled at the glory of it. His eyes moved over the crowd, and his mouth nearly opened in amazement. [i]There are so many here![/i] he remarked. A shaded booth draped in luxury caught his eye. [i]That is the Emperor himself,[/i] and Selonius now realized that his Fate more rested in the hands of Nero than it did in his own. Selonius focused on a figure racing towards him from the other side of the arena, and he readied himself for battle, raising his Trident and net. Battle had begun.

Name: Selonius Age: 32 Weapon of Choice: Net, Trident Armor: None. Background and Personality: Selonius is only Roman by province, not by blood. He was born a Spaniard, and he is most at home on the sea. Though his ship, La Fina, may have the markings of a merchant's vessel, Selonius is not a merchant, more interested in plunder and liberating the wealth from the wealthy. He sails the Mediterranean, looking for adventure and excitement, but this life could not last forever, and he mistakenly attempted to board the Excelsior, a Roman warrior-class ship disguised as a trade vessel to dissuade pirates, off the coast of Corsica. Selonius was jailed, then ordered to participate in the Games to be punished for his crimes against the Empire. His personality reflects his behavior: free spirited and confident. When faced with a challenge, he will gladly oblige, but his almost soft outward demeanor should not be construed as weakness, as Selonius is not one for idle threats and will give no mercy should his Spanish blood start to boil. Appearance: 5'4". He has been called "The Lover," and the description is an apt one. Dark, sensual eyes that sparkle with a flame for life; shoulder-length black hair; and a voice like deep silk. His build, like his outlook, should not be underestimated. He may look thin, but he is stronger than most his size. --- You start, Alan. I'm exhausted, lol. Long day.

Am I the only one getting a The Sims/Animal Crossing vibe from what the Devs are looking to do with San Andreas? We're hearing about haircuts, fitness centers, a dynamic body that gets fatter with lack of exercise and donut consumption...has Will Wright had a hand in this game? And should we expect a real-time clock, to be kept in time with the PS2 internal clock, so--for added realism (and to borrow a page from Animal Crossing)--the world of San Andreas still goes on, even when you're not there, requiring you to "log-in" every hour to make sure there are no vile weeds growing around your house! "Weeds" as in plants. I'm sure there will be other types of weeds. ~_^ With what they're developing, why not just forego the entire singleplayer PS2 version and create a MMORPG? It makes the most sense, given the details of San Andreas.

[quote name='BlueYoshi']Beat you to it. :p [/quote] Damn you, lol. inti, what I meant in my post was that Dragon Warrior's use of the pre-rendered backgrounds (the screenshots), with lower resolution characters (his sprite), and how interactive objects/items flashed (the "toplessness"), it all reminded me of Resident Evil, hence RE, hence REnfringement (RE + infringement), a play on REmake, which is what the Resident Evil remake on Gamecube has been called. Jill Valentine is one of the main characters in Resident Evil.

Tony, if that's the actual ending, I'm going to be laughing my head off, lol. I'm literally laughing to the point of tears right now. I don't think that's a bad ending, necessarily, but it's certainly not a good one. I can't even quite explain it, but...it seems like it would totally contradict the entire Shyamalan film idea, lol. I mean, granted, some of the white people in his previous films were fairly dense, but this...oh man, I've got to see it now, even though I wasn't interested in it at all because of Signs, which I felt was utterly inferior, and considering that Unbreakable was pretty good but not mindblowing like Sixth Sense, I viewed Shyamalan as a One-Trick Pony.

[quote name='wrist cutter']It's also known as being a normal teenager.[/quote] But the question you have to ask yourself is, can a teenager be normal? Does a normal teenager even exist? I'd agree that "normal" can include angst and depression, but is that only normal? Will teenagers ever know happiness? Will Bob and Jacob ever get married? Will Jacob find out that Mary is having another man's child? Do I sound like a Soap Opera announcer?

Very ingenius, Mr. Dragon Warrior (Hey, look, [i][b]I[/b][/i] put a space in your name! Don't I get any bonus points or maybe a random cameo?). I especially liked your use of "pre-rendered" backgrounds with very minimal animated character interaction, and how interactive items "sparkled" so we know what's going to get affected. HMMM...I smell REnfringement! RE being Radical Entertainment (a British production studio from the early 1960s), of course...*cough*where's Jill Valentine!*cough*

[QUOTE=lava lamp]That made me laugh. I don't think he really needs your approval to "have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding as a decent rap artist" considering the fact that his LP not only sold 872,000 in it's first week, but went on to be the best selling album of the year with 6.5 million copies sold.[/QUOTE]Hey, lava lamp, this is your [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20288&stc=1[/img] I don't think anyone really cares what you think, your sarcasm utterly fails, and you just come off sounding like a major [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20289&stc=1[/img] And arrogant, annoying, and pretentious people annoy the hell out of me. I don't know what kind of thought processes are running through their head, but it pains me greatly to see someone try to be witty and not possess the skill to make the sarcasm work. I was watching VH1 earlier today, and they had a short segment on some baseball player who said some rather bleh things about NYC back in 1999. People didn't take too kindly to that, and one of the commentators on the show quoted an old saying, "It is better to keep one's mouth shut and leave others in doubt of one's stupidity, than to open one's mouth and confirm it to all." I think that quote is rather appropriate given some people today.

[quote name='Charles']There's nothing wrong with these opinions, but even still I can't help but to feel slightly amused when reading them, considering how you heralded XIII as the next "Goldeneye." :laugh:[/quote] I don't see how that fact would amuse you, considering that XIII's plot, singleplayer, and general overall design far outshined the majority of FPS released around that time. It's sad to see the game go virtually ignored when "big-name" titles like Halo dominate the market, because XIII is an infinitely better game, and is far more focused on providing a total package than Halo. You're just being a :flaming: wiseass. lol

Okay, I rented Halo again, just to see if I had the same opinion about it, and...it's still only average. I made sure to try the co-op mode with a friend of mine, and am I the only one who felt like I was playing Duke Nukem 64? Now, granted, the game design is infinitely better, and the presentation is infinitely more polished, but why was Player 2 simply playing as a clone of Player 1? Maybe I'm just being far, far, far too cynical here, but...the co-op in Halo is about as simplistic as Duke Nukem 64's, lol. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the co-op in Everything Or Nothing, which could have been its own game release entirely (it was [i]that[/i] good), or perhaps I'm spoiled by CounterAgent mode in Perfect Dark (PvP), but everytime I replay Halo, I keep thinking, "So?" I've got a copy of Halo 2 reserved, simply because I've seen what features they're adding in and such, seen the game in motion, etc, and was very impressed, but Halo 1 continues to turn out to be just another run-of-the-mill combat FPS, lol. Am I just being unfair? God knows, I [i]don't want to be unfair in my criticism of this game[/i]!!! Do the gamers make the game, not the game make the game?

I'm just going to copy and paste an IM I had with James the day after I had this dream, as re-telling the nightmare would be too involved, even with just editing the IM, heh. It was an utterly bizarre one, to say the least... madsatirist (12:55:55 PM): I just had the weirdest nightmare ever. JamesOtaku01 (12:57:26 PM): Oh? madsatirist (12:57:31 PM): Yeah... madsatirist (12:57:59 PM): There's this house...it's kind of like a split one...one house on the left, conjoined with a second house on the right. madsatirist (12:58:24 PM): The part on the right looks like a large cage-type structure, with columns. madsatirist (12:58:52 PM): The left section is a human house. madsatirist (12:59:01 PM): This middle-aged man lives there. madsatirist (12:59:13 PM): The right section--the cage, houses some feral beast. madsatirist (12:59:45 PM): Throughout the dream, the man was forced to either lure people to the house so the wolf-thing could kill them, JamesOtaku01 (12:59:53 PM): Alex, can you do me a favor and copy & paste this when I come back? I have to reconnect -- sorry :-( madsatirist (12:59:57 PM): or just someone knocking on his front door--sure. madsatirist (12:59:58 PM): No worries. madsatirist (1:00:00 PM): ^_^ JamesOtaku01 (1:00:00 PM): I'm having issues here. Be back in one sec :-) JamesOtaku01 signed off at 1:00:04 PM. JamesOtaku01 signed on at 1:00:30 PM. JamesOtaku01 (1:00:47 PM): ok JamesOtaku01 (1:00:53 PM): better :-) madsatirist (1:01:38 PM): :-) madsatirist (1:01:43 PM): ::goes to copy and paste:: madsatirist (1:01:53 PM): madsatirist (12:57:59 PM): There's this house...it's kind of like a split one...one house on the left, conjoined with a second house on the right. madsatirist (12:58:24 PM): The part on the right looks like a large cage-type structure, with columns. madsatirist (12:58:52 PM): The left section is a human house. madsatirist (12:59:01 PM): This middle-aged man lives there. madsatirist (12:59:13 PM): The right section--the cage, houses some feral beast. madsatirist (12:59:45 PM): Throughout the dream, the man was forced to either lure people to the house so the wolf-thing could kill them, madsatirist (1:03:11 PM): Sometimes, though, passersby would just knock on his door. madsatirist (1:04:09 PM): He walks to the door, about 5 or 6 feet away from it, presses a button on this handheld device, there's a creaking noise by the cage, and the wolf starts prowling out, towards the passersby. madsatirist (1:05:47 PM): This goes on for a bit... madsatirist (1:05:54 PM): then the next part is kindof hazy. madsatirist (1:06:05 PM): Something explodes in the town, madsatirist (1:06:18 PM): or there's a minor explosion in this house, madsatirist (1:06:52 PM): and a portion of the human's house is destroyed, leaving him very little protection should the wolf start hunting him. madsatirist (1:07:28 PM): At this point, the wolf has leverage, and makes it known...actually speaking. madsatirist (1:07:39 PM): I have some bizarre dreams...lol. JamesOtaku01 (1:07:47 PM): Wow JamesOtaku01 (1:07:51 PM): That's a very awesome dream. lol madsatirist (1:07:57 PM): Not over yet, lol. JamesOtaku01 (1:08:00 PM): Oh :-P madsatirist (1:08:37 PM): Now, because this guy's house is pretty much destroyed, nobody--no victims are approaching it anymore, and the wolf is becoming increasingly annoyed. madsatirist (1:09:11 PM): The human is trying everything he can think of, even sabotaging the road that runs in front of his house so that cars get wrecked. madsatirist (1:09:37 PM): One car belongs to this fairly beautiful woman...a metal spike rips apart her front axel. madsatirist (1:09:45 PM): I'm amazed my dream has that level of detail. madsatirist (1:10:01 PM): brb Faja needs grocery help JamesOtaku01 (1:10:55 PM): lol JamesOtaku01 (1:10:58 PM): Again, funky dream. :-P madsatirist (1:21:05 PM): back madsatirist (1:21:13 PM): Now, at this point, madsatirist (1:21:21 PM): the guy is getting increasingly...disturbed. madsatirist (1:21:36 PM): His appearance and demeanor are becoming that of a wild animal. madsatirist (1:21:58 PM): And we go into his POV when he runs up to the young woman. madsatirist (1:22:25 PM): The camera is shaky, jittery, in keeping with the guy's current mental and emotional state, I guess. madsatirist (1:22:53 PM): He screams a bunch of jibberish at the woman, what sounds like, "Oh, lady, you need help? Come to my house! I give you help!" madsatirist (1:23:13 PM): She, of course, is freaking out. madsatirist (1:23:38 PM): She gets out of her car on the driver's side, just as another car approaches on the road. madsatirist (1:24:03 PM): This other car pulls-up, the driver asking if the woman needs help. She hurredly gets in and gets away. madsatirist (1:24:14 PM): Needless to say, the wolf is none too pleased with this, madsatirist (1:24:34 PM): and begins chasing the guy. madsatirist (1:24:53 PM): They get to his partially destroyed front porch and confront each other, madsatirist (1:25:00 PM): the wolf now going bipedal. madsatirist (1:25:29 PM): They have a few swings at each other, the man grabbing a scythe-looking object. madsatirist (1:25:40 PM): He swings the scythe, slicing the wolf in half. madsatirist (1:26:00 PM): He's frantic at this point, madsatirist (1:26:22 PM): begins pouring gasoline and other flammable liquids around his house. madsatirist (1:26:34 PM): He's running into the woods as his house burns. madsatirist (1:26:37 PM): Explodes, etc. madsatirist (1:26:54 PM): He finds this town after a few miles, and goes up to knock on the front door. madsatirist (1:27:10 PM): A woman approaches, standing a few feet back from the screen door, madsatirist (1:27:20 PM): makes a pressing motion with her hand, and walks away. madsatirist (1:27:37 PM): A creaking noise is heard, and a feral creature begins approaching from the right side of this house. madsatirist (1:27:44 PM): The man runs to the next house and rings the doorbell. madsatirist (1:28:25 PM): Again, a figure approaches, this time an old man, presses a button and walks away. A creaking noise is heard, and again, another wolf approaches from the right side of that house. madsatirist (1:28:37 PM): The third house is no different, the fourth house is no different. madsatirist (1:29:05 PM): We pan up to get a full view of the community, madsatirist (1:29:11 PM): every house has the double section. madsatirist (1:29:14 PM): And then the dream ends. JamesOtaku01 (1:29:17 PM): Wow. madsatirist (1:29:29 PM): Yeah.

[QUOTE=Kazuko] [size=1] [b][Most Online Game Players][/b] I'm talking about those with high-speed internet. If you don't have high-speed internet, you are either really cheap, gay, or stupid. I mean, high-speed is avaliable EVERYWHERE and everyone on this planet is bloody rich. Or so they think. It pisses me off even more when they say high pingers need to just shut up because they can't get high-speed aswell.[/quote] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20281&stc=1[/img] [b][quote][Over-opinionated people][/b] Make extreme opinions on people with very little evidence to back it up.[/quote] [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20283&stc=1[/img] [b][quote][Usher and those other people that are just like him][/b] These guys sound exactly the same.
