[quote name='Nerdsy][color=deeppink]Haha, wrong-o. While I do appreciate old cartoons (ignoring how vague that is), my avatar and title have nothing to do with them.

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Your username says you're happy with who you are, but your avatar speaks of hopeless love, of being able to fix a man so obviously broken. In a relationship, you won't be just looking for a man, you'll be looking for an [i]on going project[/i]. Meanwhile your sig is bland and uninteresting, like that nonexistant picture you drew for me [/angst].[/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]I'm sorry, that was definitely emo. You couldn't have been more emo if you were cutting yourself with razorblades while the shot was taken. It reeks of emo. It's emo-levels are through the roof. Hell, other emos would call it emo. And that's pretty ****ing emo.[/font][/color][/size]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial]There's a few ways to becoming an Internet Super at OtakuBoards, with many people touting the "Just make quality posts and you'll be noticed and makes friends" method - however, as we all know, that method is ********, and hasn't worked for anyone ever. The following three ways are the best way to becoming one of the OB elite, and should be followed if you really want people to know your name. [B]Method 1: Be a serious jerk.[/B] This method involves selling your sense of humour, having a one word screenname (names starting with 'R' with some vaguely authoritive conotations are a good bet) and posting in a small font. If you take this route, you're never allowed to join in on any humourous threads and you're gonna have to overreact to trolling in such a severe manner that you end up looking like an arsehole instead of the troll - it's cool though, cause people will expect that from you. You're on a grand crusade against the trolling menace, and if anyone gets caught in the crossfire, they know that this is war, and there will be casualties. RPing at a rate of a million RPs per minute will also help. You will have a great chance at becoming a mod this way. [I]Your mentors[/I]: Sandy, Retribution, Neuvoxraiha. [B]Method 2: Be a troll.[/B] Trolls are clearly the most underappreciated class of OB denizen, and usually gain a level of INFAMY over stardom, but it is a way to get yourself noticed. Short, dismissive replies that make no attempt at being serious, public mocking and defaming of other members and inflammatory avatars and signatures are a hallmark of this method, though they have to be counterbalanced by a large percentage of real posts that are ontopic and sincere, or you risk banning. Being friends with staff will keep you from banning, but only for a while - as the sad tales of Papa Smurf and the original lavalamp illustrate, trolling can get you banned if not done properly and with restraint. You have a soso chance of becoming a mod, but I wouldn't hold your breath. [I]Your mentors[/I]: Charles, Deathknight, wristcutter. [B]Method 3: Have half a brain.[/B] As has been shown time and time again, if you actually use your ****ing head once in a while, you'll have no problems making friends and influencing people. This is the least travelled route for reasons unknown, but you can be pretty sure if you try it you'll become internet famous in no time. There's no prerequisites, but having a screenname that is vaguely ominous sounding usually helps. Also, not resorting to trolling when bored as well - some of our best trolls once used this method, but later joined the dark side (largely cause this method can get shockingly boring if you've got nothing better to do). Chances of moddom are high, but not as high as being a serious jerk. [I]Your mentors[/I]: Aaryanna_Mom, Shy, indifference. These methods are all vastly different, but they have on thing in common - none of them use vaguely Japanese or anime-orientated screennames. Having a screenname at OTAKUBoards that references Japan in anyway is usually a death sentence, and only the truly 5|

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial]Heart Shaped Glasses (Space Cowboy remix) - Marilyn Manson: An awful, awful remix of an unotherwise bland song. Candidate - David Bowie: A great song off Diamond Dogs. Better Living Through Chemistry - Queens of the Stone Age: A trippy song off Rated R. One of the stronger songs on the album. Lovesong - Jack Off Jill: A boring cover of a song I'm not fond of. Bulletman - The Bollweevils: A fast paced song about relationships. Like most Bollweevils songs, haha. Worms Make Dirt - The Aquabats: Bizarre song about worms. Seriously. The Rooster - Outkast: One of my favourite rap songs of all time. It's funny, it's got a fun beat, and everyone should hear it. Poke and Destroy - Presidents of the USA: Weird ditty off Love Everybody. About as mediocre as the rest of the album really. Give Up For Australia - TISM: All TISM tracks sound like 80s throwbacks. This is about the Australian tendency to say '**** it' instead of persevering. Haha. Butter on the Rim - Apocalypse Hoboken: I like this song. Good choice, iTunes! Qué Onda Guero - Beck: Most of Guero is a fun ride, this is no exception. Good upbeat song with nonsensical lyrics... as usual. Top - Live: I don't listen to a lot of Live. This songs about par for the course for them though, which isn't a bad thing, considering Live is pretty solid and rocking. Rainfall - Winning Days: Don't like this song, nor most of the album it comes off. C'est la vie. Then - Jason Webley: A sad song about reflecting. Not recommended after a breakup. Greyhound - Frenzal Rhomb: Frenetic song about gambling! YAY![/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[font=arial][size=1][color=indigo]She smiled wryly at me and took her hand from my grasp. "I'm very sorry Mr... Dead, but I'll have to decline your offer." I grinned. "Too good to smoke with an enforcer?" She laughed. "I daresay my boyfriend would say so." I rolled my eyes and leaned back into the hard plastic hospital chair, languidly blowing smoke rings and watching them float to the ceiling. Inside my coat pocket I suddenly felt a vibrating, and quickly withdrew my phone. The caller ID said Lai. "Hello?" I heard her smile over the phone and smiled to myself. "Did you send the roses?" she asked, a wry tone in her voice. "I'll leave you be, Mr Dead," Miyuki said with a wink, before quickly slipping out and closing the door behind her. "Of course. Only the best for the mob bosses' daughters assistant." Whoops, wrong choice of words. "Is that all I am to you?" I laughed. "Of course not. But I daresay posies wasn't going to cut it." She laughed, and I heard her speak to someone else in the room. I caught. "You don't know anything" and "shut up" before she came back to the phone. "Just Luyii. What are you doing tonight, Mr Aolie?" I sighed. "Watching a half-dead assassin breath through life support." I paused to pick at a thumbnail. "It's truly my idea of a night out." "That's a shame," she said, disappointed. "What about tomorrow?" "You think you can get away from Laiyuu again so soo-" I was cut short by the sound of a harsh cough. "Oh shit, I have to go. I'll call you later." I quickly hung up and ran to the door, peaking my head out. "I need a nurse! Or Xing! Or a fucking handgun!" A few nurses turned towards me, but only Miyuki, coming in from her smoke, responded. "What's wrong?" "Ghost Fox is waking up."[/color][/size][/font]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial]Dear James, I know you've got a hardon for updating OB's styles lately till we (being me and you) finish up OB:Evolution (Note for the kids at home: This will take a while. Redesigning every page on the site usually does.), but please, please, please, [i]please[/i] change the forum icons for geisha back to something big and blocky. I'm on my monitor's native resolution, and my eyes just seem to gloss over those tiny things. They are, as the kids would say, shiteful. I mean, I don't mind if they're changed - really, any change is good - but bigger is better man. Bigger. Is. Better. Love, Dead PS: The category headings are too dark and are creating too much contrast. I assume you're working on this.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Lunox][color=dimgray'] I'm talking about Ewan McGregor. As in his physical appearance. :)[/color][/quote] [size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Yes, and I was directly mocking that. Like [i]duh[/i]. Seriously, if you like effeminate she-men that's fine by me, just don't go touting him as the pinnacle of male attractiveness when he falls short of achieving masculinity to begin with.[/font][/color][/size]

[QUOTE=Andrew][size=1]Actually Dead, we're both right (or wrong depending on your standing). Red hair is related to both Blonde and brown hair.

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][quote name='r2vq][color=#007520']Matt Groening left? His wiki page says nothing about it... Though it does say 4 of the episodes that he was credited with writing... 3 of which I wasn't a big fan of.[/color][/quote] He didn't leave, but I think it's pretty obvious that his influence was lessened considerably when he started focussing on Futurama near the end of the 90s. I think this is probably most evident when you compare the two shows - Futurama retained the Simpsons down to earth (so to speak) stories and jokes, while The Simpsons started caving to Family Guy pressure and became more of a sight gag orientated show, clumsily trying to execute it within their 'real family, real problems' framework. That's not to say Futurama didn't have wacky gags and unbelievable elements, of course, but it maintained that tone that people could relate to - throughout it all, Fry's just a 20th century dude dealing with an amazing, unbelievable 30th century world as best he can, and he and all the supporting characters are likable, and have real motivations. We can relate to them. The Simpsons characters have become more of a caricature of themselves, though with some of them pretty much spouting their old one liners and doing the same **** they always did, with no development - and when an episode does present development, it rarely sticks. Couple this with whacky adventures and humour that's creeping ever closer to Family Guy, and the show's almost unrecognizable when compared to it's first season counterpart. I'd like to believe this change of tone wouldn't have happened had Groening not turned his attention to Futurama, but just for the fact we got Futurama I'm willing to forgive the guy for it.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Ordinarily, I am only attracted to vagina-owners with dark hair, so brown or black. Blondes? They may have more fun, but if you want me to like you you better have a damn good personality. I mean, seriously - no demented bunny boiling fetishes or nothing. Redheads are usually freaks mentally, so I avoid them. Oh, and they're an aberration of brown, not blonde, so whoever said it's a subcategory of blonde is a total stooge. I have dark brown hair and it's all wavy like. chicks love it.[/font][/color][/size]
