[font=Verdana][color=blue]Victor Pianist, linking to illegal content is not allowed here so don't expect any replies to your request for a URL (unless you're just looking for something like a MIDI).[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]I saw [i]Corpse Bride[/i] last weekend and I must say, I really liked it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see it at first but a couple of my friends were going and asked if I wanted to go too so I figured why not. I really thought they did a fantastic job with the animation. And the line [spoiler]"There's an eye in me soup"[/spoiler] (not sure if that's really a spoiler but there's no harm in adding the tags) had my friends and I laughing for quite a while. We actually said it to our waiter after the movie when we all went to dinner ^_^[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]I'm glad everything turned out for the best then. I didn't really clarify my question too well. When I asked if you already had "it," I was referring to Mario Kart. Hehe, I guess it would have helped if I said that though.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]So this "bundle" turned out to just be a blue DS and a copy of Nintendogs? Maybe it was just a store special or something because as you said, it isn't the "official" bundle (though that's not a big deal seeing as you didn't want Nintendogs anyway).[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]What is the error you're getting? Chances are, you just have JavaScript disabled, which the Jukebox needs to function. It uses JavaScript to open a new window and then further uses it to select and play the songs. If you don't have it enabled (or your browser does not support it), the Jukebox will not work.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]If this isn't the case, I'm sure actually seeing what the error is will help me further understand how to fix the problem. The only reason I suggest a JavaScript problem right away is because it works just fine for me.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Bombu][color=darkred']I paid £10 extra for Nintendogs in that bundle, and sold it for £20, and then put the extra money I had left into Super Mario 64 DS, which is now my main game.[/color][/quote][font=Verdana][color=blue]That's awesome that you actually made money off of it. I have a question though. Does the above quote mean you actually have it already? I can't get it until November 14th.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]And James, I know what you mean. I myself have never actually had any interest in playing Nintendogs but that's probably because of the games I do play. Non-gamers may like Nintendogs a bit more because they're not expecting as much out of it.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]As for Canvas Curse, I have it and it's actually a lot of fun. Getting used to controlling Kirby using only painted lines with the stylus does not take too long to get used to and actually provides some very interesting game play. It seems pretty easy at first but as you progress, it gets fairly challenging.[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]I personally think a red DS would be pretty cool. I've been waiting for Mario Kart DS for a long time now so getting it and a red DS for a cheaper price sounds like a good deal to me.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]In your case though, I'd just go and get the standard silver DS. If it's the color you really want, you won't regret paying a little extra in the end, especially if you would have ended up with a game you didn't want. I have the silver DS and it does look pretty nice.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]I have a question now though. Were you even interested in Mario Kart or Nintendogs or were you just mentioning the bundles?[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]Just to add to James' note of avoiding confusion, it would be helpful to title the thread in such a way that reflects that it is a battle of more recent bands. That way, it won't get looked at as a duplicate thread. This will also help people choose which thread they want to participate in if they're not sure.[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]While this is the Music, Movies & TV forum, this thread doesn't really have a topic. Posting about how you got sick during a movie does not constitute a movie based thread. You didn't even mention which movie it was you were going to see so I don't think that this thread would really generate any discussion.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]I would advise that you read the [url="http://www.otakuboards.com/rules.php?"]Rules[/url] and [url="http://www.otakuboards.com/faq.php?"]FAQ[/url], both of which are also located to the left, before you continue posting.

[font=Verdana][color=blue]I'm pretty sure the argument isn't on whether the game is good or not (though I will agree that the game is one of the best I've played to date). Considering Desbreko's last post though, I'm also pretty sure that there is no longer an argument, hehe.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Anyway, Des, I'm definitely going to have to agree with you on that one. Even if I had never played the game, your argument makes too much sense for there to be any other possible answer. Personally, I'm not sure how this even became a debate considering that you do see the sages after everything is over which would prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that they are still alive and not sealed away.[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]I really never had interest in any of the new Power Rangers shows. I remember watching the original every day with my friend. Recently, while I was away during the summer, someone had a bunch of the original episodes on his laptop which were fun to watch. They're so miserable looking now though.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Anyway, I guess what I really mean to say by that is that I haven't followed it at all. The commercials for all the new shows and toys just sort of annoyed me saying "let's see how many settings we can put the Power Rangers in without the fans rioting."[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]Welcome to OtakuBoards Zizima.

[quote name='James][font=franklin gothic medium']Also, just as a quick side-note...you also know that there are times when I will disagree with a Moderator's decision and I will reverse it or change it. It is wrong to suggest that a single Moderator's judgement about a thread is somehow representative of a final say on the entire issue as far as the network is concerned.[/quote][/font][font=Verdana][color=blue]I'd just like to point out that I was only offering my opinion on why the thread remained open. I did not mean to speak for the entire staff and I'm sorry if my post came off like I was. I agree with what both James and Dagger have said. They just explained it much better than I did. I apologize if I caused any confusion with what I said.[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]It hit me after I edited the initial post that we already had a My Chemical Romance thread here.

[quote name='Generic NPC #3']Am I the only one that finds it odd that this thread has remained open when it's extremely obvious that a good majority of the people who have watched this film (and will in the near future) have pirated it through Bittorrent or other means?[/quote][font=Verdana][color=blue]This thread remains open because there really isn't anyone directly supporting anything illegal. Also, there have been no links to illegal files provided so there really isn't any harm done. Finally, I'm sure almost everyone knows that they can download it online if they really want to [b](though the OtakuBoards staff in no way supports this)[/b]. In my opinion, there really is no reason to close this thread, especially since there is some pretty good discussion going on here.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff][/color][/font] [b][font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Edit:[/color][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]The bold part was added in for clarity purposes.[/color][/font]

[QUOTE=Dagger]Yeah, speeds are a lot better for me as well (at both theO and OB). It still takes a rather long time for my myO backroom to load, but maybe that's just me. :animeswea ~Dagger~[/QUOTE][font=Verdana][color=blue]I've always had a bit of delay with myO and theO, though nothing ever serious. It usually just takes a few seconds more than usual (which seems like a lot on broadband, when the rest of the pages are loading almost instantly). I think it probably has something to do with the length of time it takes the server to get the information it needs from the database. It's not too bad though and all three sites are now working at normal speed so I guess that new server is in now.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Now that I'm looking at it though, it still takes a little extra time to submit a post here every once in a while.[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]I am no longer experiencing any problems at all. It's been working just fine for me since this morning. How is everyone else doing speed-wise?[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]You have good suggestions but they would not have worked. You were limited to one signed item per person.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]I did go but it was a huge waste of six hours. See, the email said that the first 200 people are guaranteed signatures. What they did not say was that meant [i]only[/i] 200 people would even get to meet him.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]So, I waited in line from 8 AM until 2 PM. I was around number 275. It wasn't until the event was over that they told us only the first 200 people were allowed in. All I walked away with were two copies of each of the three free items - two DS skins and a copy of the picture he drew for the occasion. I guess it's cool that they're limited edition though.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Either way, I'm pretty disappointed that I didn't get to meet him. I did catch a glimpse through the window though as he was leaving. I sort of got a picture...[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]The worst part of it all was that I didn't even get into the store. After waiting in line for ever (and ending up about 75 people from the door), they told me I had to get on the back of the other line if I wanted to get into the store. And it was still an hour wait until they even opened the doors...[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Even after all of that though, I had a good time. I just really wish I could have gotten an autograph.[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]Last month, I was able to see the first episode. I wasn't entirely sure about it for the first couple of minutes but it really did become interesting to watch. Had it not been on someone else's laptop, I would have probably continued watching it. And as of yet, I've been too lazy/haven't had enough time to acquire it myself.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Panda']I do have a bit of information to add to the discussion.[/quote][font=Verdana][color=blue]If they're in the process of adding a new server, that's almost definitely what's causing the problem. Chances are, files need to be transferred to the new server to get everything up and running. This can be a very CPU-intensive task and would slow down the time it takes for the server to retrieve the page you're trying to load. Once the new server is in (assuming that's what they're doing), we should be back to normal.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Seeing as this is happening to so many people though, I'm going to say it's probably not due to cache problems or other programs using an internet connection (or any other individual computer related problems for that matter). I know I have tried loading all three of the sites on multiple computers, from multiple networks, and still had the same problem. Even when I was trying to type this post this morning (around 8:30 AM, I was in school), the site was running very slowly and the bell rang before I had a chance to finish, which is why I'm posting this now.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Anyway, I hope this is the cause and if it is, I also hope that this clears some things up.[/color][/font] [b][font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Edit:[/color][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Actually, it would appear the site (only OB as of yet) is back up to speed for me. I'm not sure if this is because the problem is fixed or just that I'm getting lucky. Is anyone still having any major connection problems (as in very long load times or even failure to connect at all)?[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]Sometimes, these things just happen. There are a lot of people using these boards and it can sometimes cause a little lag for some people. It's a little laggy on my end right now too. It should pass soon enough.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][strike]And Stuart or Panda, you'll probably move this (or possibly already have) but I figured I'd mention it while I was typing this. Flames Firebrand, this type of thread really belongs in Suggestions and Feedback, where I'm sure it will be moved soon. Just check there for any future replies to it.[/strike][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff][/color][/font] [b][font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Edit:[/color][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Hehe, I guess I called that one pretty well ^_^ Panda, you got to it literally a minute before I clicked post.[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]Well, seeing as I live about fifteen minutes from the city, I'll definitely try to get in for an autograph. I don't see it being easy though as I can guarantee there will be a lot of people there trying to do the same. and only the first 200 people are guaranteed one.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Either way, it should be fun to go to and apparently, the people in line get a limited edition skin for their DS anyway. Strange how these things work out though. I've always wanted to meet Shigeru Miyamoto and up until now, I never thought it would be possible.[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]You can still add a link if you want to. Just use the following code:[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][*url=whatever the URL to the site is]The text for the link[/url][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Just remember to remove the *[/color][/font]

[font=Verdana][color=blue]You can't use HTML in your OB signature (or most places on OB for that matter). You'll just have to stick with the normal vB code to format your posts (or just use the WYSIWYG editor when posting). What is it you want to add anyway? You already seem to have formatted text and an image in your signature now.[/color][/font]
