Dragon Warrior

[b]Poem:[/b] They dance, they sing, they laugh along, whether it be a jig or a heart-warmed song. The sun did shine something magical of sorts, as the villagers drank their pints and quarts! [b]Word:[/b] Funny Yes, it is quite happy ;)

I always play as Fox McCloud. He's my character. I've been trying to master his moves for a while, try to become unbeatable. I get wasted by my friends who play constantly, nevertheless. But people who play as often as me or less, I get the upper hand ;^D He has fast moves too. He may not be the quickest character (I think Captain Falcon is), but he's definately one of the speediest. Falco shares his moves pretty much, but damn! Fox is da bomb!

David :^D I personally enjoy Track 17 of the Fellowship soundtrack. It's pretty much a combination of a sorts of music previously used in the film (though it's actually used when Frodo and Sam are leaving and Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli set off at the end). It's so beautiful, though. My least favorite part of the song is the boy choir singing at the end, but it's pretty cool how it moves right into track 18 with Enya singing. Yay ;^D

Hold it, people XD Only I say when we make a new poem. If you haven't noticed, three new poems have started in a matter of a few posts :P Calm yourselves XD But I'll obey Kane's wishes. Let's not start a new poem for a while, aye? [b]New Poem:[/b] Once upon a happy world, Where good and evil often swirled, There was a prosperous little town, Where hard-working folk could be found. [b]Word:[/b] Clap

[QUOTE=Vash IDK]I agree, the music is SO AWESOME. As for Boromir, I have to Agree with Dragon warrior. He wasn't an evil "person." He was corrupted, but redeemed in the end. While the ring took a hold of him, he recognized his mistake, and died with honor in the end. In the books, this was actually meant as a mirror reflection to his brother Faramir. They were completely different in the books. While Boromir became easily tempted by the ring's power, in the [i]books[/i] Faramir refused it without question stating "I would not take this thing if it laid by the roadside and I alone could save Gondor." (Or err, something like that ;) ) All I'm saying is that Boromir was freakin cool, and while he was tempted, he redeemed himself in the end.[/QUOTE] The music calms me. I can listen to it and feel like the world has no trouble and I'm somewhere else. It almost makes me break down and feel tranquility. Kind of odd O.o As for your thing about Faramir in the book, that's a bit odd since in the film, he (like his brother Boromir) was tempted by the ring and wanted Frodo to take it back to Gondor led by Faramir's troops (I think this was partially so he'd gain his father's respect). But as we all know, he eventually overcomes the ring and sends Frodo away since the ring must stay away from evil at all costs. Good ole Faramir. FUN NOTE: The dude that plays Faramir (can't recall his name) also plays the friar in Van Helsing. Bwee!

Wow, Sage, three RPGs ended is a lot more than most what members have had on the boards. Consider yourself lucky and a good roleplayer/RPG Creator to have that accomplished. I can only hope for that ^_^

[QUOTE=maladjusted][color=firebrick] I really disagree with anyone who still thinks Boromir is evil. He freaking took about four arrows and kept on fighting to protect Merry and Pippin. If that's evil..then you people are just plain whacked. I don't think people still fully understand the sheer power of this ring. There's all these people saying: Oh, that Frodo, he's such a wimp, he couldn't have done it without Sam... [/color][/QUOTE] You misunderstand me. I didn't mean that he was actually [i]evil[/i] like Sauron-type evil. I mean he's been corrupted by the ring and has a dark aura around him because he always wants the ring. But in TTT special scene where he's in Gondor, he hasn't been exposed to the ring and so he's a cheery, happy, friendly dude who's not corrupted. [spoiler]And it rarely shows signs of Sam being corrupted. The time he really shows it was when Frodo was captured by the orcs in the third movie and Sam comes to the tower to save him. It shows Sam not wanting to give it back. But Sam is too loyal to Frodo. He even overcame the ring for Frodo and for the fate of Middle-Earth. Frodo's strong, but so is Sam. Don't diss the Gamgee XD[/spoiler] NOTE: I'm currently listening to the LOTR: FOTR soundtrack XD I love this music.

People can use all sorts of sources from Google Images to Yahoo Images to just knowing sites of anime art. It depends on what type of character you have. If it's someone easily found, then site links are something people could supply to you. If it's not too common, then maybe you should try Google Images. I, myself, usually make my appearance pictures.

Yeah, I mentioned C.S. Lewis's and Tolkien's relationship earlier in this thread. They both shared a view on literature that books didn't seem to please them and they wanted to create books that'd match their liking. Bam! Middle-Earth and Narnia! As for what you said on the second DvD junk... [spoiler]I think the stuff with Faramir and Denethor should have stayed in the original film. For one thing, it showed the conflict even before the third movie and for another thing, it showed that Boromir wasn't all that bad neither. I always saw Boromir as a bad guy in the Fellowship because there wasn't one moment until the end that he showed any decency. Then in this Two Towers extended footage, he's this big leader and is great friends with his brother and is loved by everyone. I personally like that part. It gives a sense that the world of Middle-Earth isn't lost and the people there can be happy even with the trouble brewing elsewhere (move over, Terra, sexy nerdiness :D).[/spoiler]

Once again, Bean, you haven't seen the movie so obviously you won't fully understand what I meant by what I said :P We've already discussed this thoroughly in an AIM chat. I don't think I need to say anymore XD Watch the movie. Then we'll have some good chats ;)

There isn't a whole lot I can say that hasn't already been said for the reasons why RPGs don't finish, but what helps in getting an RPG to actually reach its end is James' chapter system. It allows the story to be fresh, not all roleplayers have to post constantly, and the characters also don't meet up in one place all at once (which makes for a super crap storyline). My upcoming RPG [u]Once Upon a Legend[/u] is split into 3 seperate RPGs (like how Kill Adam is 2 RPGs) and I plan on finishing all three. I'm using James' chapter system plus some new concepts that might help the RPG get to its end.

I see. Well, that explains a lot. Thanks XD And yes, the Elrond scene did take forever to read, they said. It was such a long part of the book that they had to shorten it. It took five days to shoot, which was one of the longest times they had to shoot a scene for. I imagine it was rough on everyone, especially the actors. They had to sit around and say their lines and act all the junk out over and over. Man, I can't wait to begin my acting career :) (NOTE: That wasn't sarcasm mind you).

I think we're all getting a little too into this here XD [spoiler]We're thinking too much about it. M. Night's whole idea may have been just to have them live in an olden days lifestyle with some modern conviences such as the medicine. Maybe he didn't even mean for it to be exactly the 1800's? The people in the village who aren't aware (I mean, the people who aren't Elders) don't even know about the world outside their village so therefore wouldn't know the history of our Earth as we would if we were living in 1890. Because they don't know any of Earth's history, the "1890" the people of the Village know might be totally different from the 1890 we know in the real world. Therefore, the idea of having this modern medicine in an 1890's environment isn't a bad thing. It may just be what the Elders wish to have the people believe is what the medicine is like in their world. I'm sorry if that's confusing.[/spoiler]

[QUOTE=`hEvN][COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Lol. The sound of that was just funny.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][B]Aww, Piro made DW cry... I won't forgive you for that. Noooo!!! Don't be discouraged by this sexy piece of work, well, erm, don't worry yours sexier still for me, heh. I want more of you... *ahem* I mean, you're work. ^_^x[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE] I was kidding, you crazy lady :P I'd never give up animating. But I won't be releasing an animation until it's worthy enough for even a PiroMunkie :3

I didn't ask you to choose XD I was just stating that I believe Rikku is the sexiest. And I thought that the first banner had a greyish background O.o

Here's another one! This one is of Rikku this time, the hottest FF character of all, if I do say so myself. Yuna from the last banner might have had the best outfit, but Rikku takes the cake. :3 [center][img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20523&stc=1[/img][/center]

Though I cannot view the whole animation because my computer is gay and doesn't load it all, I likie. It's good ^_^ What animation program did you use? You obviously didn't use the piece of crap animation shop 1 I use, which makes animations look like poop :< But yesh, you have beaten me. I put away my animating skillz foreverness ;_;

[spoiler]Though what the quote from that messageboard is true, the fact about what you said that the 1890's is worse off than modern day is not totally true. If you watched the movie, you'll note that the reason most of the people left was because of modern technology such as guns wherein there aren't any in our 1890 small village. Most of the reasons for moving were death by modern technology. That might help in the reasoning of why they made it 1890. And as you can see, the children don't know it's 1890, so therefore they wouldn't know that the medicine Ivy fetched from the guardhouse of the park was actually 2004 medicine and not 1890. To her, it just seems like it'd be the medicine they'd get at that time. Plus, she's blind so what's the difference?[/spoiler]

Noah's my favorite character. [spoiler]I'm not sure if he did the animal killing because what I always thought his giggling was was him liking the creatures. You must recall he always entered the woods unharmed (and for obvious reasons, the humans wouldn't kill their own) and he might have liked the creatures because they were friendly to him. That's why I thought every time he heard or knew of the creatures, he giggled. Like at the start of the film at the dinner table. He stood up and innocently laughed when the creatures moaned in the woods. But I dunno. But wait... then again... when the mother of Noah opened the door to the house and Noah was missing with the costume, she said that he ran off with the monster costume and the dead animals. I dunno if that relates to anything, but maybe that shows that the mother was the one who had the dead animals and planted them in various places? Also note that the father of Ivy spoke of her grandfather who was very rich. This also ties in with the plot, but you have had to notice the sign that revealed the name of the protected park they live in. The park was called "Walker" and therefore meant that the wealthy grandfather's money was used to buy the park so they could live without worry (and the planes). That's probably obvious to you folk anyways, though, right? XD[/spoiler] Oh, and Adrien Brody did an excellent job with Noah, even if it was the part he didn't want to play (he stated this in an Entertainment Weekly).

I'd first like to start off that this movie was just as good as I expected--if not better! I've been awaiting it for ages and was very pleased to have seen it this very day :) I also enjoyed how they made the environment. Though it's got that 19th century feel to it or whatever it was, it also had a medieval fantasy way that you'd expect out of LOTR of whatnot. The druid robes only helped make this image possible. Spoiler on something :P [spoiler]Dagger said there were things that weren't explained that needed to be. I'm not sure that's all entirely true with who killed the animals and stuff. It's not important and not necessary to know. They mentioned it was an elder, let's leave it at that, right? I have to disagree with Piro here about the Noah theory. Though the old Walker dude in the end said Noah helped make the whole creature thing possible, he was referring to when Noah died as a monster and made everyone believe the monsters did exist still. And the fact that they choose to say that Noah died by a monster killing him only supported this. But one thing that bugs me (and I might have missed it in the film, I'm not sure) is why the hell was red forbidden? Did the elders just think it was something to throw into the urban legend or what? It seemed out of place and I'm not too sure why it was there. I liked the idea, but I'm just curious about it.[/spoiler] Also! Here's a fun fact about the movie I noticed while watching: [spoiler]Remember the guard named Kevin that helps Ivy? Good. Now do you recall the guy reading the newspaper in the Guardhouse that Kevin talked to? Guess who played him :) It was M. Night himself! You can see his reflection on the medicine cabinet when Kevin slyly opens it to get the medicine out. It's fun to see, but I forgot to check the credits just in case. But I'm sure it was him. It sounded like him too. Yay![/spoiler] As for the plot... [spoiler]It's true. I dunno how anyone could guess that ending. I was completely oblivious until the two people opened that black box and started talking about their "accidents" back home. This wasn't scary, as many said it would be, but I'm not disappointed. I'm not easily scared by movies (everyone said Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a real fright, but I just thought the dude in it was a bit disturbed XD) so I wasn't expecting too much from it. The most I got out of it in the genre of fright was the things that make you jump and I suspected a few of those so I only jumped one during the film.[/spoiler] I don't care what any critics say, this movie was great. I can't believe it was getting bad reviews. Critics these days are all stuck-up buttmunches who are way too cranky from just sitting on their ***** and watching endless movies that they can't tell good from bad anymore. I tend not to listen to critics. They don't know anything anymore (or did they ever?) :<
