Thanks to Daisuke's help, "How the James Stole Christmas" is now up. I hope you enjoy the classic as well as the newest edition. Thank you, Daisuke.

That was odd. An interesting start to your animating careersesness. I hope you do make more animations (with some length, of course ;)) and I get to watch someone else's films for once. That'd make me go "Yay!" And I noticed you used my trademark face ;) Nice.

Yeah, I didn't mean to send that money out. I was only humoring you :( Please send it back. Anyways, thank you for putting up with me Syk3. You seem to get the most beat-down in my stories/animations/et cetera. I will make sure you get a good part in my next work (probably "The Cafe At the Edge of the World"). We'll see.

Usually people who bug me too much about getting in end up with a bad part. Syk3 is just gifted enough to have been chosen for the worst parts anyways. And I promised Lrb a large role this time, so I gave him Syk3's father. We'll see next time for you.

This wasn't a Flash animation. If it was a Flash, it'd be just one animation, smaller, have sound and music, better graphics, and rock more. But I'm still figuring Flash out, so it could possibly be used for next year's Christmas special. I hope it will be.

[quote name='Quad][size=1'] DW, I think cutting off limbs and impaling people with arrows can get pretty nasty sometimes. Pippin is the shiz.[/size][/quote] True, but this series doesn't have amazing descriptions of guts falling out, privates being ripped to shreds, and all the nasty situations that would be in something like a "Dawn of the Dead" RPG. And yes, Pippin is the shiz all the way to the bank.

Shy, you died because you retiring from being a moderator just didn't sound as funny XD And since you did retire for realsies, it just worked. I'm still working towards getting "How the James Stole Christmas" up and I've begun planning for next year's Christmas special. The fun-ness of it all. The lyrics sounded right to me, but when I finally finished everything and posted it, I noticed they weren't. Slight error. Oh well. That took long enough to do and I don't care anymore XD And no pay for you, Shinmaru >:^O [b]TIME FOR NAKED![/b]

It's done, my good people. This year's Otaku Christmas Special is complete. It took me around six to eight hours to make if you include all the times my computer froze and I lost what I was working on, but I think it turned out just fine and I'm pleased with the results. [center][img]http://img130.exs.cx/img130/5610/Syk3reindeer.jpg[/img][/center] This animation seemed bigger than last year's (How The James Stole Christmas), so I decided to split it up into two animations, part one and part two. I'm glad I did because it helped keep the graphics from turning crappy like they did in "How the James..." last year. But anyways, here are the animations. I took the liberty of uploading "How the James Stole Christmas" as well, for old times sake. Be sure to watch it too if you're up for it. They're both pretty lengthy. I hope you enjoy. To give you the heads up, it might run a tad slower than it's supposed to if your internet browser is poopy. If it is slow, it's not the animation. Sorry. Merry Christmas and once again, I hope you enjoy!

If you want, you can try it with the Rudolph tune. How fun, fun, silly! [b]Syk3 the Corroded Reindeer, was really nasty indeed, His looks could give you pink eye, or make you wanna get high off weed. All of the other mods used to pop a cap in his ***, Now they just lightly beat him every time he goes to pass. It?s because of one crazy day when James danced on the scene... "Syk3, you were a disgusting thing, but now you?re not, so let?s all sing." Then everyone thought he was okay and gave out a low grumble, Syk3 the Corroded reindeer, better watch out for the Bumble![/b] And now I'll answer some questions that may be asked... [list] [*]Yes, Shinmaru was a naked elf. [*]Yes, I died. [*]Poor bumble... [*]Dr. Phil is a Texas psychiatrist with a talk show. He's not actually a superhero as I depicted him. [*]I dunno what happened to Syk3 after he was mauled. [*]Queen Asuka is hott as a reindeer :^D [*]The sky is blue. [*]meh >:O [/list] Anyways, I think that about covers things. ------------- DO COMMENT ;^D

Just a thought here... LOTR the books and the films (I have read parts of the books, mind you ;) ) may have violence in them, but it's not entirely adult-like. These are children books as well, so I'm wondering why you made this RPG "Mature" for violence. I think it'd suit it just fine for "PG-13" or perhaps even just "PG." Unless, since this is a retelling, you plan on making it violent as all get-out. XD And I didn't know we could play as Pippin. I would =/

Yes, I thought this chapter was more sexier than the others. This time you used more fact than fiction. Like the fact that I always enter OB chatrooms with a ":3" and I always say "I wanna go play." It's true, those chats often are boring enough that I want to leave ;_; No one pays attention to me there XD And using my actual myOtaku post was Godly sexy. Merf :3 But I don't cyber, so don't AIM IM me for it ;^D

Perhaps the fad will die out when The Corpse Bride comes out? XD I'm pretty sure Danny Elfman did the music for all Tim's films aside from a select few like Ed Wood, which was composed by Howard Shore. And yes, I was aware Danny did the singing voice of Jack. I'm wondering why he didn't just do the full voice rather than hire Chris Sarandon. Perhaps because he was too busy with making the music? Well, then maybe they should've hired an actor that can sing and do the voice XD But if you have TNBC Special Edition DvD, you'll see Danny Elfman writing all the songs and singing them on piano, so I guess that would contribute. What was also cool on the DvD was the way they made the characters and such. Little robots (I forgot the names of them, damn me) are inside the foam structure that's covered with clay and they just design on it. But facial expressions were a tad different. For characters like Jack, they had to make over 200 seperate heads for each facial expression with every mouth movement and such. For Sally, they just made a lot of face masks because creating that many of her heads with her hair would suck big time. I love watching behind the scenes stuff on these kind of movies. It's so damn interesting XD

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][size=5][b]I Traveled Through Time[/b][/size] [size=2][left]?So, what you?re saying is you traveled through time?? ?Indeed, I have.? ?Well, I don?t believe it.? ?I knew you wouldn?t.? ?And how would you know that?? I smirked and clutched my device tightly. ?Because that?s what you said the last ten times I?ve told you.?[/left][/size][/font]

The Batmobile does look a little... er... crushed, aye? But it has those massive wheels. Possibly it's not the Batmobile and is just one of his many vehicles. In Batman and Robin, he had loads of cars and other vehicles in his garage. Since this is about his origin, the car we believe is the batmobile may just be what he started with, then advanced to the batmobile.

Ah yes, I like how the Boogie Man is a gambler. That's cool. His fortress sort of has that Texas Gambler look or something XD I too believe it's a wonderful stop-motion animation. In fact, Tim Burton is working on yet another stop-motion film that's set to release in 2005 called [b]The Corpse Bride.[/b]

[center][img]http://batmanbegins.warnerbros.com/images/photobat.gif[/img][/center] Some good news, folks. I haven't heard much on it, but this new Batman film is coming out very soon. In [b]Batman Begins[/b] (I think the title could've been better), it's the origin of how Bruce Wayne became the legendary hero and why. Some of you may already know from the comic books or other resources, but for those of you who don't, this'll be a treat! And let me tell you now, he doesn't get bit on the hand by a bat. [img]http://batmanbegins.warnerbros.com/images/02.jpg[/img] From the looks of the sexy trailer at the site ([URL=http://batmanbegins.warnerbros.com/]CLICKAGE[/URL]), the movie has sort of a sword-fighting, medieval whoop-butt feel to it. Wee! Can't wait for more info.

[quote name='Doc']But there is one thing I don't get now, is that there are so many people at my school that wear TNBC sweatshirts, and beanies, and have never, ever seen the movie. I guess that they just like the design, but I can't believe they had never seen the movie[/quote] Like I said above, TNBC has become a fad around with teenagers. They're such cool designs and concepts that people find it shagtastic. For some reason, humans find the dark and gothic atmosphere intriguing ;^D

I, for one, was freaked by that scarecrow at the beginning when I was kid. Meh, it's not scary now. If you have any punk/gothic friends around, they usually enjoy TNBC. I've popped into the store [b]Hot Topic[/b] and there's endless amounts of merchandise from that movie. It's because Tim Burton's stuff is gothic, dark, and weird--which in our minds is cool! I think the designs are quite intriguing and I find Tim Burton's work fascinating. But the Boogieman is the best part ever just because of the way Tim depicted him. He's a creature made of bugs and stuff sewn up with fabric. And he can be seen in the moon. Now that's cool. The movie gets me because it shows an artistic view of the holidays, like how the forest has doors in them to each specific celebration. I'd say that one cliff-thing that unravels has got to be quite the odd, but strangely beautiful presentation. EDIT: I'm actually writing a story inspired by Tim Burton's work. Fun fun.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][size=5][b]And Then A Cat Approached Me[/b][/size] [size=2][left]?What?s this?? ?I?m a cat.? ?Can cats talk?? ?I?m not sure.? ?You seem to now.? ?Then it is so.? ?Cats can?t talk.? ?Ah, but I am talking now.? ?What?? ?Perhaps I can, but you block it out with the thought I can?t.? ?Perhaps.? ?Maybe.? ?Indeed.? ?Quite so.?[/left][/size][/font] That was an odd little... thing XD A man and a cat talkin'.

I agree that puppets and all that look amazing (many of the Star Wars aliens were puppets/animatronics), but you can also look at creatures like Gollum and see how the CG has advanced. To me, Gollum looks very real. The point is, you know he's fake and that clouds your mind with the thought that he's fake, so he can't look real. I've always had that problem with certain aliens or something in movies. You've never actually seen those aliens in the movies before in real life, so you're not entirely sure if they look like the real thing or not. I dunno if I'm making my point correctly XD

I set my own style, not particularly on mood or anything. It's just what I feel looks sexy enough for the day's sexy adventures. Often it's all white or close to lots of white and for this my friends call me "Gabriel," because I look angelic. Woooord. I've also been known to go a bit old fashion in my clothes, trying the poet style or perhaps even piratey? I dunno, I set my own trend and sometimes it's nothing to be imitated. Especially when my mom calls me "The Clash." I think you know the reasons for this...

I can't remember the actual name of it, but it's a form of cardboard that's pretty strong and doesn't bend all that easily. It takes a nice slice in it to get it to bend and stuff. As for the window bar, that'd be the faults of children. Ye see, after the houses are done, they're set on display. But stupid people have to touch. And where curious fingers go, so does my glue gun. I just recently touched this pub back up since the pub sign was torn off and the barrel unwound. The window bar was to the degree where hot glue couldn't fix it. Stupid kids. XD

Well, the deal with the barrel is that it was the last day for making the houses (and last day before Christmas break) and I had about five minutes or so, so I decided to make something. As a result, this barrel was made. I think in five minutes, it's okay-looking, but it's still a pile XD

I believe it'd be more like Jack Sparrow versus Barbosa; two immortals locked in an endless battle. We're so awesome that defeating each other would be some kind of rediculous joke. And my name has a space >:^O

Well, geez. The title of this thread isn't the "Flame Peter Jackson" thread XD Obviously people don't like his work. I, for one, loved the Frighteners, but just recently learned he made it. Anyways, the CG will be good on King Kong. I've seen some stuff on it and it looks real. If you've seen LOTR, a lot of the more realistic stuff were CG, like Gollum. All Andy Serkis does is wear that funky suit again, does his acting, and in the movie it'll look like King Kong. Motion Capture has got to be the best type of CG work ever (thus far).

[quote name='Queen Asuka][color=hotpink][size=1]Except I am really having a hard time imagining guys in bikinis...eh.[/color'][/size][/quote] I just don't [i]want[/i] to imagine guys in bikinis. It harms my sexy mind ;_; Anyways, better chapter than the last, I must say. Especially since you didn't say I use cologne (which I hate anyways, as I've told you). I'd defend my position, but I've used everyone else on OB in my stories in a good or bad way, so I won't bother. Just don't expect me to ever shower you with gifts again ;^D
