[size=1]I'm sorry (_)ltryneo, but I felt that your sign-up still needed some extra work, and your sign-up says a lot about the quality of your rpg writing. You didn't make it, but I thank you for spending the time to write a sign-up. -Shy[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Manic [/i] [B]And in case anyone was wondering, I used to be Endymion. And how did you know I was black, aside from the fact that my only past avatars where John Stewart/Green Lantern and Caesar from [i]The Boondocks[/i]? Ok, answered my own question. :cross: [/B][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1]I still think of you as Endymion, weird. I didn't even realize that you were black until I saw your picture. The avatars should have tipped me off, oops. Anyway, we have a fair number of homosexuals on the boards. We are a minority. -Shy :toothy:[/size]

[size=1]J17 and Endymion are both African American, as is Na'dou and probably some others. We have a good amount of minorities here, but since this is an internet site our membership is purely elective. I mean, we aren't going to scour the internet for minorities to join our forums or something. Heh. Considering that anime is geared towards the Japanese audience, I consider it to be multicultural that so many white people watch the stuff. -Shy[/size]

[b]Doctor:[/b] "Well, Andy, I am sure if we plug that in and squeeze your belly it should pop right out." HAHA! GET IT!?!? ... Anyway, Andy reminds me of a teletubbie since the x-ray is not connected to anything. Good work, Shy. :)[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Heh. The drawing might be good for the caption contest. I'll have to put the pic in if I ever participate, heh. And you're right, it [i]does[/i] remind me of Teletubbies, now that I think about it. I'm glad that both of you like it. -Shy[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lady Macaiodh [/i] [B][COLOR=darkblue][size=1]But, yeah, now I have to think of names and start buying stuff. Anyone who wants to send presents to this adorable baby, feel free! lol Happy day. :)[/size][/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]That's the cutest shadow I have ever seen, heh. Congratulations! I have always been partial to the name "Josh" myself. Joshua Morgan sounds like a great name to me... Charles: That is [i]very[/i] disturbing. o,O'' -Shy[/size]

[size=1]The title is pretty self-explanitory, geesh. Andy is the one on the left, and Omar is the one on thr right. This was for my art class, and I have no idea why I drew it.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lady Macaiodh [/i] [B][color=darkblue]Shy, you have way too much time on your hands. :)[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]It was for the newspaper. We did a backpage on ice cream, and I also did a quiz"What kind of Ice Cream are you?" but I doubt that anyone wants to read that... *ducks into a corner* -Shy[/size]

Several of us had been sitting around a large pellet-shaped table, trying to develop a counter-assault to the latets string of attacks by the Next-Gens. On all fronts our forces were slowly being erradicated. Emerald Hill had falen vistim to an airship atack the night before, and there was a general feeling of uneasiness in the room. The Mushroom Kingdom was a world away from the battles at Liberty City and Corneria, but their effect's could still be felt. At least for now, we had nothing to fear. "Momma Mia!' Mario shouted as he slammed his fist on the table, knocking over my bowl of pellets, "How are we a-gonna stop this mess?" "I don't know about the rest of you," I commented, "But we seem to be having trouble organizing our troops. We have lost digital communication due to MegaMan's defeat on the battle network. Sonic lost contact with his troops and mysterious disappeared for half of the battle. Because of this carelessness Traverse Town is under siege." Amy the hedgehog glared at me from across the table. She knew that I didn't like her boyfriend, and that I blamed him for the recent defeat at Emerald Hill. Lord knows that I wouldn't let anything like that happen to Pac-Town. Maybe I'm just being suspicious, but you can never trust a lady who always keeps a hammer within arm's reach. "That is completely false, Pac," Amy argued, "Sonic was trapped in an extradimensional space during that time, and couldn't do anything to help those people." I rolled my eyes, "It wasn't an extradimensional space, it was a bonus stage." Light laughter echoed through the room, thigns were finally starting to perk up a bit. Roll entered the room, and whispered something in Mario's ear. He smiled, and whisphered back something in her ear. During this time I noticed that Diddy King hadn't touched his banana dinner throughout the entire evening, I wondered if something was bothering him. Suddenly, a tall, pink-haired woman in an orange mini-skirt entered. Behind her trailed a small camera crew, and surprisingly enough, a group of background dancers, something about this person seemed very familiar. Mario adjusted his hat, stood up and greeted the woman. "Hello Ulala, I'm glad that you could join us." "Hey there groovy cat, I'm thrilled that you allowed an interview for Space Channel 5. I'm even more grateful of the unrestricted access that you have granted us aboard the Great Fox so far. The whole thing is outta sight!" Ulala winked at Mario, causing him to blush. She turned around, faced the camera and began to conduct an interview with the plumber. "So Mr. Mario, as secretary of defense for The Classics, could you please explain how this entire war began?" "Certainly. A year ago a huge battle between the greatets gaming villains and heroes began. Many people know this as the "Project Gamer" conflict, named after my a-evil brother's secret plan to take over the gaming world. Weeks passed, and eventually these villains were defeated once again. But after the battles there was a huge conflict about hos these villains should be punished. The classic characters wanted to trap them within a poorly designed prison cell like they traditionally do, but the newer and more violent characters wanted vengance. The two sides began to fight over how they should be dealt with, until one day the villains mysteriously vanished. Nobody knows exactly what happened to them, but the Mushroom Kingdom has it's suspicions..." Ulala smiled, and winked at the camera for no apparent reason. "Hey, that's awesome. We'll be right back ater this important word from our sponsors."[/color]

[size=1]I'd like to add another suggestion (since this is somewhat related.) I would like to ask that the swear filter be removed in Poetry/Mitch/Fan-Fiiction. Even though I haven't posted anything innappropriate, I think it hurts a member's writing is several words are ***ed out. I don't think that thing would get out of hand, but I could be wrong... -Shy[/size]

[size=1]Southern California is known for two things: [b]1.[/b] Hollywood and movie stars [b]2. [/b] Driving fast. Sadly, I have fallen victim to another stereotype. After getting my new car I discovered the joy of reaching high speeds, and a good deal of my driving time is spent on the freeways. This is intentional, because when there isn't much traffic the freeways is the perfect place to drive. Also, EVERYONE drives over the speed limit here. Even when I am going 80 mph I get passed up by nearly every car on the road. There is something exciting about driving fast, and I can't really explain it. Now I fully understand why some people obsess with cars. Anyway, how do you drive on the freeway? How do *average* people drive, and what is the fastest you have ever gone on a public road? -Shy Note: This thread does not promote reckless driving, it merely glamorizes it.[/size]

[size=1]Well [i]I[/i] think that you sis a very good job on this. I like how the dog's ear goes over the Dog Fancy text, it looks really professional. My only complaint is that the green background makes most of the text is difficult to read. I would try some other color, a simple white would probably work. Did you take the picture yourself? -Shy Edit: I forgot to mention that I don't like your avatar. That picture of Faye frightens me.[/size]

[b][size=1]My blog address:[/b] [url]http://www.angrystudent.blogspot.com[/url] [b]Blog name:[/b] Angry Student [b]Thoughts behind it/reasons for creating it:[/b] Sara kept bugging me to start one, so eventually I did. I have had it since November, and during that time it has changed quite a bit. I think I'mm on the third laytout now, and the type of posting that I do has also changed. I used to post recaps of my day, and then I posted long and depressing rants about life, but it started to draw a lot of attention from the OB community. Not that there is anything wrong with people reading my blog, but I don't like the idea of a complete stranger contacting me because of something I said on my blog. I don't know how much longer I am going to keep this, though. I have been toying around with the idea of starting a new one, and I probably will do that during the summer. -Shy[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by DeathBug [/i] [B] Well, this was all about style over substance, IMO. Anyone who's read the Essential Spider-Man volumes that collect the original stories from the sixties already knows how the events are going to turn out. Anyone reading the Spidey comic today would see the ending coming. However, that's not the point of the book. The point is the writing style and the art. I personally didn't like it, but a lot of people did. I should note that I usually eschew mini-series, so the fact that I bought it speaks volumes, at least in my case. [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Well, this mini-series isn't about a surprise ending or anything like that. It is just a nostalgic look back on the older Spider-Man books, before the stories got ruined with symbiotes(sp?), clones, and misleading character deaths. The artwork is wonderful, even better than the actual stuff they did during that period. Even though she died years before I was even born, Gwen Stacey is one of the truly great characters. She is much more interesting than Mary Jane, or even Felicia Harding. It's nice to see another comic book fan on the boards. :whoops: -Shy[/size]

[size=1]I think that adding a little comments box to the fan articles section a great idea. I'll talk to Adam about it the next time I see him. -Shy[/size] :whoops:

[size=1]Why does our existance matter? If we aren't "real", then we can have no physical impact on whatever the "real" world is. If i found out that I was a computer program I would not look at things differently. Unless I could suddenly walk on water like Jesus and Neo then I doubt that my "life" would change in any way. -Shy[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by JJRiddler [/i] [B]I haven't read it but it sunds intresting. Where can i get it? By that I mean are they any major chain stores that carry it? [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]It just depends on the area you live in. Thet might carry it at a Barnes and Noble, but the best thint would be to search online for your nearest comic book shop. [url=http://csls.diamondcomics.com]Click here for a tool that can help you find a comic book shop in your area.[/url] Also, I think that a hardcover collection of the six books is available. That might be easier to track down than each individual issue. Amazon.com probably has it listed somewhere. -Shy[/size]

It takes place between the 1960's Spider-Man stories, before the death of Gwen Stacey. This is the time when nearly every major villain was introduced, and when Peter Parker had to choose between Mary Jane and Gwen Stacey. I read the first three issues during the last summer, but only now has the final volume been released. There are six parts in total, each dealing with a different theme or situation. The main focus is on Peter Parker, and the Spider-Man action is only secondary. All in all I highly recoomend it to anyone, even people who don't regularly read comic books. Has anyone else here even heard of this? -Shy[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Hittokiri Zero [/i] [B]Well then if it's a plain style, than I am correct in calling it plain. A image that's just one line of text and a stock image is just too plain for my tastes, now if there was one line of text maybe a quote (or a elaborated typography type thing) plus a stock image I can live with that. Anyway, the avatar is nice, but i'll still go by saying the sig is too plain. [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]I agree, mostly. I don't like my sig as much as my avatar, and I don't think that they go well together. I can't seem to find a good picture, though. The one you posted was nice, but I am primarily looking for black and white manga images to work with. -Shy[/size]

[size=1]Well, this is Kamui from the X manga and anime. I haven't been watching a lot of X lately, but for some reason I felt like doing a banner and avatar of him. One of these days I might have to switch back to color, grayscale is a little too trendy these days. -Shy[/size]

[size=1]A Song of the Day thread isn't a bad idea, but there are some huge flaws in how it was made. #1: You need to write a detailed and intelligent post about the song of the day. Just posting the name of a song is spam. #2: Other members should comment on the daily song, and it sould generate discussion. #3: Only one song should be posted a day. This is spam.
