[size=1][b]Indifference[/b] The man ran down the street, bare feet thudding loudly on the bitumen. Cars and trucks honked their horns as the man sprinted down the median line, the imbeciles in their metal coffins leaning hard on their buzzers, wanting a prize. The man saw the monsters, but couldn?t tell you, because a truck hit him. [/size]

[size=1]One of the better done poems I've seen in a while. Especially considering the innuendo. What kind of job do you have, where you get to write stuff like this? "You're a beginner but you do it with ease Even though you spend a lot of time on your back and knees" Nobody can deny that that line has serious ass-kickage. Plus, you skillfully combined so many aspects of skateboarding with other things, like the steel polishing industry, and wood-working. :p[/size]

[size=1]Haha, maybe I should. I think that there are ways you could work around it though... in terms of passwords etc, though you need to trust peple not to go crazy, as tracking something like that is hard. I guess I'm wrong. My bad :p[/size]

[size=1]What bands do you consider grunge? It is a fairly broad term I'd imagine, and could be cross-genre compatible with heavy-metal.[/size]

[size=1]*points Dagger to [url=www.myotaku.com/myHero]myHero[/url]* ^_^; Thats already practisable.[/size]

[size=1][b]Fox[/b]: Where the hell am I?[/size]

[size=1][b]Enough[/b] There are wars, subtle wars, wars which people know nothing about. Whether it be the life or death struggle of ants, the macho showdowns of bull elephants, or the verbal sparring of human competitors, mini-wars are all around us. The question is, are these wars what you want to commit yourself too? Cease hostilities. ------ :p[/size]

[size=1]As James said, these kind of things have happened a lot before. I would join, as I used to be a... banner maker of some renown... but I probably won't, seeing as I rarely visit Art forum now. But, anyway it's a good, and viable idea as previous attempts have shown :)[/size]

[size=1]There have been maybe ten of those threads in the last... few months. Not enough marketale opportunity for a sub-forum. And, to make a point, those ten relationship advice threads were [b]10 too many[/b]. Besides, it's not like teenagers should be giving love advice. Not in much of a position.[/size]

[size=1]Haha. As you said, C3PO does look pretty funky, but by no means did you do a shocking job of it. It's quite good in fact. As with the second one, I found the first one to be my favourite, just because of the style of humour in it. It's good, but you have yet to top the first one ;)[/size]

[size=1]I use Firefox, Dagger, and sometimes when I click a link it won't do anything, and a small alert box will come up saying "The connection timed out when attempting to reach otakuboards.com" or whatever.[/size]

[size=1]Everyone knows that Siren is Sith, right? Anyway, I liked both of those, but I thought the message in the first one was better, as well as the...'plot' if you will. It made me laugh, whereas the second one made me smile. The first comic's humour was more subtle, and had more finesse than the second one. But they're both good. I demand a regular series.[/size]

[size=1]This may or may not be related, but often I recieve a 'Connection Timed Out' notice when travelling around OB/mO. Is this server lag as well?[/size]

[size=1]In Primary School and my first year of High School, I studied Japanese, and I'm sorry to say this, but I hated doing it. It was only in the last year of it that I even started to get decent marks in it. I just didn't enjoy studying Japanese...it held no interest for me. If I wanted to learn anything, I'd like to learn German...if only because I like how the words sound.[/size]

[size=1]If the workload was too much, and the mods weren't getting their duties done, would they have the system structured this way? A nugget of pure gold to think about... Anyway, Sub-forums tend to have less traffic overall, plus there are a fair few cross-over mods. I think the system is good as it is. I see no deluges of spam piling up in neglected corners. And I'm sure that if the Mods felt overburdened, they'd have a quiet word to James.[/size]

[size=1]I'm gonna spoiler this, [spoiler]but weren't the scientists being sent back and forth in time?[/spoiler] Leastways, thats what I thought you told me. I love the idea, and would gladly sign up for this. My only complaint about the background? 'Forehead region' sounds a little... simple for technicians to be using. Out of all that writing, it was the one bit I felt uncomfortable with. A rephrasal maybe?[/size]

[size=1][I]Not a sound there was to break the silence of the night. Well, not a sound out of place, that is. The distant drone of the the airways still cut through into the derelict suburb of Malberry, the old Industrial region of Frankton. Tonight it was the meeting place of two highly-placed drug-lords. A tip-off by a grasser [informant] had led them to this place, on this night. At 3AM. The two drug-lords meeting here were responsible for the death of several high-level human and reploid community members. Which is why the forces of the NCEP [Novus Concordia Elite Police] and the UNPG [United Nations Para-Group] had been merged for this operation.[/I] At precisely 3:07AM, the forces swung in through the glass windows of the derelict warehouse. With his gun sight pressed against his eye, Josh landed lightly on the ground, his scope panning around the wide room. As shouted reports came back; " Storeroom clear!", "Office clear", "kitchens clear", it became apparent that something had gone very wrong. And then, Josh saw them. Out of small vents situated all around the perimeter of the building appeared small drones. As the invasion group backed slowly into a circle, they heard the first sound. [I]Whiiirrr chk.[/I] And barely a fraction of a millisecond later, the very air itself [i]hummed[/i] with hot lead. Josh dropped straight to the ground, as all around him reploids were blown apart by the incoming fire. Assailed on all sides, there was only one option for escape. With a mighty yell, the Red Baron rocketed his way into the rafters, courtesy of advanced hyrdaulic technology. "I think you all have an appointment with a little friend of mine" grunted Josh, as he whipped out his gun. Pressing the targeting lens to his eye, he squeezed the trigger and let loose with a devastating burst of Liguid Nitrogen filled bullets. As they connected with the drones, they burst. The blue ooze smoked gently for a fraction of a second, before it contracted, and twisted and destroyed whatever it touched. This unforseen problem was of no concern to the drones, as they lifted their gattling guns to the roof, prepared to pummel the upper tracts of the warehouse with a withering burst of fire. But it was too late. He'd already moved. Josh literally flew through the rafters, lightly stepping from beam to beam, propelling himself across gaps untraversible by any human. As the fire of the drones caught up to him, he leapt forward, stretching for the nearest vertical beam with his hand. And then, [i]with his body parallel to the ground[/i], he executed a neat U-turn around the beam, and flew through the air, back the way he had come. He landed directly on top of one drone, using the butt of his gun to punch a hole through its central CPU as he did so. As he sprang off, he was surprised by further fire from the centre of the warehouse. Those reploids who had survived the initial drone attack were up and firing, working together as a group. They swept around the centre of the room, a swirling circle of gunfire, spewing out lethal fire deadly waves. Drones were torn to bits, but there were many losses too on the Reploids side. Josh dived out of the central warehouse, and into one of the side rooms, flimsy constructs that were merely partitions, made of fibro and aluminium. As he prepared to re-enter the fray, he realised that using the butt of his gun to destroy that drone had not been such a good idea... te alloyed metal had been bent, only slightly, but it reached all the way to the firing mechanism, affecting the firing pin. Damn. He discarded the gun, and reached for a handy beam of wood nearby. [i]Whiirr chk[/i] "Please, no" Josh thought. But his thoughts were confirmed by the crunch of treads on glass outside of the room. Ferociously, suddenly, the walls of the room began to splinter, as the drone on the outside drew his gun in a line along the wall. Josh puleld his blow-torch out of the pocket on his vest, and layed low on the ground on his back. Timing his attack, he pushed himself head first through the wall, and slid [i]between the treads of the drone[/i] and out the other side. A simple flick of a switch produced a long tonuge of blue flame, bordering on white as it reached 1000 degrees. With a hiss, the flame cut through the back of the drones head. Yet with the last of its fading power, the drone spun its torso around indepedently, slamming into Josh chest, and knocking him onto his back. As the drones firing chambers began to load, he was faintly surprised to see the drone's torso explode. But only faintly surprised. As the reploid who'd killed the drone appeared, he tiredly announced that all the drones were dead. But now it remained to see why their informant had lied to them...or if there was another explanation... [i]Upon their return to UNPG HQ, the Invasion Team was greeted with the news, that at precisely 3:07AM their informant had murdered the Vice President of Billetin Minerals, and then jumped to his death off of the Gnisis Tower. The next morning, a Confidential Email was sent to the Red Baron. It ordered him to present himself to his boss at 11AM. Josh let himself into the office, and closed the door behind him. General Mitchell Grant, the [human] head of UNPG leaned forward at his desk and clasped his hands. "Son, I have been informed of a job proposition for you...but you'll need to travel..."[/i] ------------------------- OOC: I hope this was OK. I haven't Rped for a good few months, if not longer.[/size]

[size=1]Remember that little thing around 2001...you know, aah, what was it. Pokemon? Well, I was [strike]ludicrously obsessed[/strike]...[strike]mildly rabid[/strike]...kind of interested in it, and I stumbled over this place whilst browsing. I drifted away within weeks due to lack of a home PC, and then one boring afternoon in May 2003, I remembered it and came back. And I still haven't left.[/size]

[size=1]On the positive side, with Firefox, it doesn't navigate away from the page. More incentive, hey Azure ;)[/size]

[size=1]You made 47 posts. About 3 years ago. The odds are, nobody remembers you, lol. Anyway, nowadays, these kind of threads are... if not banned, then bordering upon it. Outright Introduction threads are banned. So, just jump back in ^_^;[/size]

[size=1]Maybe he began to have doubts about how he felt going out with another guy...maybe something happened [ie teasing, bullying] that made him dump you. Maybe he got too worried about the possibility of being bullied, or maybe his parents didn't like it. Maybe he decided you were too much, maybe he decided you were too fast. Maybe he likes someone else, maybe he's not ready for commitment, maybe he want a Platonic relationship, maybe he wants a physical one. Lots of maybes, and no answers. My advice is to try and move on. Further pushing at the issue will only drive both of you further apart, maybe making an irreparable gap.[/size]

[size=1][spoiler]Shoot the *****[/spoiler]. >_> No, really, I'm for real. Haha. Anyway, I think that if she seriously likes Bakura more than you, then you must be a pretty 2D person... Err, anyway, this sounds pretty lame to me. I think you should find someone else, if she is actually in love with an [b]anime character[/b].[/size]

[size=1][B]What[/B]: v7 [B]Why[/B]: A shock to the system, thats for sure, but the relief I got from getting back to OB was worth it. I am now at home with v7, though I [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=44247]>would like to see more skins

[size=1]I honestly could not narrow it down to one person. There are so many things you could look at, from humour, to quality, to post count, to thread ideas, to general cool-ness. I think we should just wait until the Otaku Awards [or whatever they're called now] rock around.[/size]

[size=1]I believe in Intelligent design...or rather, a more appropriate term would be that I think Intelligent Design is the best theory I've seen put forth. I don't believe in God. I see flaws in Evolutionary Theory. I think that Evolution is definitely something with a lot of merit, but on it's own has trouble standing. It needs some kind of guiding force...be it a God, or aliens, I don't know, lol. Everyone is free to have their own opinion, as long as they can accept the [b]fact[/b] that there is a reasonable likelihood that they're wrong.[/size]
