Dragon Warrior

Oh. You're Balog? I didn't know who you were, but now I do ^_^ Thanks, Vick. I can call you Vick, right? No? Okay, Vick.

Well, to keep myself in the mode of craziness for my newest film "Mr. T Adventures", I have to keep my creativity rolling. First off, I've gotta get the craziness and randomness part of my brain flowing so I made this. It's just too crazy for words :< Enjoy. [b]Name:[/b] Shinmaru Gets a Job [b]Creator:[/b] Dragon Warrior [b]Length:[/b] 1:47

Beautiful flick. First time I saw it in theatres, I was locked. I was captivated and couldn't resist keeping my eyes on the screen as if some machine kept me looking straight forward. Once I got out of the theatres, I said I wanted to see it again. No doubt. So I bought it the second day it came out :< I've watched it many times since. One of my favorite movies of all.

I am so in this XD Name: Merffles Who you're making fun of: Frodo Species: Midget Description: He's short and stuff and smells like cabbage and lives in a midget-hole in some town. But besides that fact, he likes his ale. He's teh sexah beast that every girl in middle earth wants to get with. He looks like Frodo, except, he doesn't :) Bio: He's lived in his midget-hole in that one town for a long time. His uncle dude disappeared and whatnot and left him some ring. Pretty much it :<

Let's just hope the first time you did it was from laughing as well, MrSonic ;) And thanks all. Ms. Kitty, NO >: o

He's not a cowboy >: o He's wearing a sombraro. It's mexican. But yeah, he's gonna have some wild adventures ;_; AND SYK3 IS THE BAD GUY!!! OMG, NOZ!!!

Yeah, and speaking of you, where have you been? :< And thanks. This is just random junk that pops in my head. I literally make it up as I type it.

Alright. I must've missed the PM. I get a dozen everyday @.@ And thank you. It's nothing special graphic-wise, but fun to read.

Sorry. Incorrect. Tossup time! [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=538069[/img] [b]Q:[/b] In Episode 11 of Season 2 ("Running Mates"), what does Meg want Lois to do for her if she is elected?

It's that time again for me to have a banner change so here's a new one where you'll have a moment with me :< It's animated text, but it's humorous. I dunno... nothin' special. Just... yeah...

Thanks all. And to keep you from ripping me to shreds for Mr. T's film, here's a movie poster :< [IMG]http://myimages.fourvalve.com/dragonwarrior/Mrtbanner.gif[/img] Animated =D

Yes, well, meh, Shinmaru. Wait no more :< [center][size=4][b]Insert from the Gordendok Bestiary[/b][/size][/center] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=538290[/img] [b]Species:[/b] Maramatta [b]Description:[/b] Maramattas are large rodents that find refuge in the forests of Gordendok. They burrow underground and only the soils next to jorkala boochtrees. Here, they are often hunted by hungry Komodos so it?s not always the best life for them. If they can get deep enough underground, they are safe. They?re not pitiful above ground, though. They have sharp teeth to fight, as well as razor claws to scratch their foes and predators. They?re the size of a small pony so usually that can count for something. Humans often do not bug these, for they find them as just rodents. Nothing else. They also tend to have a foul smell about them. It?s a defense system to keep away predators, but over the years, the Komodos have adapted and become immune to it. Some experts are saying the Maramatta should be extinct in another 100 years and the Komodos shall follow. [center][size=4][b]Chapter 3[/b][/size][/center] Matthias awoke with the worst of headaches. He slowly opened his eyes, even if he was wincing from the pain, and the first thing he noticed was the sun setting and dusk was upon him. Nightfall would soon follow. His vision was back to normal, he had no doubt. It was getting too dark to see much, but a small fire was going to his right side, it?s warmth bringing heat back to his bone-chilled body. He moved his long, silky hair away from his chapped lips and turned his worn eyes to a horse lying on the other side of the fire across from him. He was curious where it came from, then memories of a voice came back to him. [I]Wake up!,[/I] it had said. [I]Get up and get on my back. The lizard men are coming![/I] He wasn?t sure if he imagined the voice or not, but the horse sure seemed real. Sweat covered the animal?s body and made it?s brown fur coat glisten in the light of the fire. Then, it slowly lifted it?s head and peered at it?s accompanying person across the fire. Both of them stared a long time at one another. Matthias wasn?t about to believe the horse didn?t have an owner. And wild horses never did such acts of kindness and courageousness. No, this horse was different, he could see. It glinted in it?s eyes that it was. It?s strongly built muscles showed it could run quite quickly, and no doubt, was how they escaped the raging Komodos. This was the horse that saved him when he lost his own. ?So, you have woken up,? said the voice again. Matthias was staring at the horse when he heard it, but he didn?t believe where it came from. The horse?s mouth moved at the same time the voice came, but it was just too crazy to believe that a horse spoke. He shook his head and cleared his throat. ?Excuse me?? ?I said, so you have woken up,? the horse seemed to repeat itself. At first, Matthias believed the horse was nibbling some delicious grass as the owner of it spoke from nearby bushes, but that wasn?t the case anymore in his head. It?s mouth only moved when the voice arose. ?You were out cold for hours after we set camp here. We escaped the Komodos with ease.? Matthias? eye began to twitch as disbelief engulfed him and his atmosphere became quite delusional. This horse talking was madness, but it seemed so real. So Matthias finally got himself to ask the question that was on his mind ever since he heard the horse talk. ?Is this a dream?? ?Only if, ranger,? the horse said with a bit of a neigh in his speech. Matthias began to sweat even more, but as each and every moment passed, his disbelief of what he was seeing and hearing was fading away like the blue skies of daytime and certainty was entering like the night. He tried standing up, but felt a bit shaky. He was able to stand, but he wasn?t sure if walking was such a good idea yet. Then the horse stood up, it?s massive legs pushing against the ground and heaving it?s considerable body up. Matthias was mesmerized as the horse approached him. ?You, sir ranger, were going to die. Lucky I came across you.? ?Yeah,? was all Matthias managed to spat out. He was still awestruck by the great beast before him. It was larger than any horse he?d ever seen. Though, it?s colors were natural, it just appeared to be of another world. ?What do you have business doing in Komodo country? It?s a dangerous place, ya know.? The horse sounded friendly enough, but a dash of worry and sternness was mixed in with his voice. Matthias peered back up at the long snout of the animal that was almost close enough for him to touch, which he wanted to badly, to see if it was all real. ?My? wife? my wife?? ?Yes? Your wife?? The horse didn?t appear very patient, but Matthias didn?t notice. He stuttered, for he was still amazed at the animal. ?My wife?s tomb? was in? there?? ?Oh, I see,? the horse said, turning around to go back to his grassy spot across the fire. ?Not a very good place to keep it. It could be made into the Komodo habitat, for all we know. They?re smart ones.? Matthias? next question may of answered many of his others so he asked it. ?Who are you?? ?Who am I?? the horse repeated the question, lifting his head as if it was an absurd thing to ask another being. ?I am a horse, can you not see that?? ?Yes, but? I?ve just? never--? ?Never heard a horse talk before? Of course you haven?t. It?s not a real thing.? ?But you talk.? ?Yes. I talk like the sun rises, for sure, but I?m gifted.? ?How did you learn to talk? It seems--? ?Impossible, I know.? ?Stop interrupting me,? Matthias seemed to burst out. ?Shhh! Quiet, now. No need to get angry. I?m just a horse, after all.? ?A talking horse!? Matthias seemed to be back to his normal self, even if he were still a bit dazed from the rush of new events. ?Yes, well, like I said before, I?m gifted.? ?But you didn?t answer me from before. How did you learn how to talk?? ?Oh, I didn?t so much as learn how to talk than to already know.? ?What? I don?t understand.? ?Most don?t. But then again, you?re one of the few who know I can talk. Makes a difference, hm?? The horse began tearing at the grass that sprouted under his nose. For some reason, he was half enjoying it, half not. It was pictured in his face. ?Do you have a name?? ?Nope. I?m the horse with no name, sir ranger. I can?t recall my name or if I even ever had one.? ?Oh, that?s sad,? Matthias said, feeling a little guilty of yelling at the horse. Though, it was just a name, the fact that no one was ever around for it to be named just seemed terrible. ?I?m Matthias, the ranger.? ?Yes, by your clothing, I could note you were a ranger, Matthias. Your name, I could not.? Matthias began to walk around the fire toward the horse so he could stand before it. He seemed to be able to amble now. ?Earlier you said I would?ve died if you didn?t save me. So it was you who did save me then.? ?If that?s what I said, then I must?ve,? the horse said between mouthfuls of grass. ?Yes, but how was a regular horse able to escape hundreds of Komodos? There was no way-? ?Am I a regular horse?? ?No, I guess not,? Matthias said mournfully, withdrawing all further questions on the matter. ?I can talk, I am the fastest horse in the world, and I can build a campfire. I?m unique, I?d have to say.? ?You?re the fastest horse in the world? How do you know?? ?No horse can run as fast as me. Trust me on that one. If you saw how fast I go, you?d know. But you fell unconscious on the ride here so you never really felt the experience.? ?Yeah, that?s true,? Matthias said, pacing back to his spot across the fire. The horse continued to nibble the grass and there was a long, aching silence between the two. Matthias was still captivated by the horse and the horse didn?t seem to have a care in the world. [I]A horse with no name?,[/I] Matthias questioned his own mind. [I]Sounds very peculiar, and yet, so right. I wonder what this horse has to do with me? And what business does it have saving me?[/I] Matthias peered back over at the horse, who seemed to be just finishing his meal. The horse noticed this and met Matthias? eyes. ?Yeah?? ?Oh,? Matthias broke out of his trance. ?Nothing. Just thinking.? ?Oh, I see,? the horse said grumpily and went back to the end of his feast. He certainly had an eventful day, no doubt. He laid back and stared up at the tree tops. Where they were camping was right outside the forest edge so where he stared, only half was trees. He rolled his head slightly in the direction of the horse only to notice a lake for the first time. It seemed to just appear out of nowhere, like the clouds above teemed a big, silent raindrop into a hole in the earth, creating a lake. The moon, which was now showing clearly in the night sky, glistened across it?s waters giving it a haunting, yet peaceful look that calmed Matthias. He took a hand to his chin and rubbed it as he thought. It wasn?t before long that the serene sounds of the night drifted him off to slumber.

Ya know, it probably says it in the book, but I never read the books so I'm not too sure. They didn't send Gimli with the fellowship. Gimli signed onto the Fellowship at his own will. He joined them by his own decision. I'm guessing the dwarves don't want to have much to do with this. That or they live too far away? I'm not sure.

Well, for one thing, I've never read any Harry Potter books because I find them boring, sorry to say XD And in this animation, I just made up what James looks like. I'm not sure ifthat's him or not O.o

Correct, K.K.C. You made up for your lost question. 1 point. Lrb... [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=538069[/img] [b]Q:[/b] In Episode 11 of Season 2 ("Running Mates"), what does Meg want Lois to do for her if she is elected?

Well then, wait no more! I have the 2nd chapter and a special treat! But, no, K.K.C., I have no idea where that line is from O.o This is all original work of mine. [center][SIZE=4][b]Insert from the Bestiary of Gordendok[/b][/SIZE] [/center] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=538062[/img] [b]Species:[/b] Komodo [b]Description:[/b] A Komodo is an archer lizard of the woodland areas, mostly in the Northern part of Gordendok. They have very distinct ways of living and their style of bows and arrows prove that factor. Upon seeing one, you?d find they don?t travel alone, but instead, in very large groups. They are not the strongest creatures of Gordendok and what they lack in strength, they make up in agility and accuracy. Their archery skills are more superb than most beasts. Their bows and arrows are handcrafted and made from the jorkala boochtree, which is a common type of tree found in the deep parts of Gordendok forests. As for their niche, they camp in deeper parts of woods where the jorkala boochtrees grow. This gives them a chance to be able to make as much ammunition as possible and quickly. Humans are a satisfying treat, but are rare for the Komodos to eat. They usually feast upon the Maramattas, a large rodent the size of a very small pony. Maramattas are found burrowing in the ground near jorkala boochtrees, so once again the Komodos prosper. They?re not the friendliest of folk in Gordendok, but can be kind at times when helped. They never break a promise and always are true to their word. But double-cross them and there will be hell to pay. As such, the only way to get through the passages of their woods would be to do them a favor first. There?s no reason to kill off one Komodo when the next moment you?re going to be assailed by the two hundred traveling with it. [center][size=4][b]Chapter 2[/b][/size][/center] Matthias continued riding through the graveled trails of the Pineworth Forest, the deepness of it seeming endless. It was eerily quiet, the silence almost as deadly as what it protects. The only sound to his ear that came would be the hooves of his noble horse as it trotted along, crunching twigs and gravel with it?s mighty legs. Matthias kept his eyes ahead, awhile strange beasts formed around his path, unnoticed by the wandering ranger. His horse?s ears perked as the creatures in the brush moved quickly and astutely. It let out a simple sound as though it were warning Matthias. But unwise to it?s neigh, he continued on, complimenting the beauteous wilderness with his thoughts. Arrows, unobserved, were being readied and aimed for his head. Some were directed for the horse, for if it fell, he would as well and it?d be a simpler shot to kill him. Matthias was in grave danger and he didn?t notice. The monsters, with their reptilian looks and slimy skin, slid their clawed hands across their bow strings, licking their lips for the grand taste of human flesh. Terrible and misguided thoughts unraveled in their sick minds and impertinent thoughts only a foul creature of the depths of Gordendok could ponder. Once all the bows were set and the arrows were ready to fire, they moved in for the kill. Some slipped through the brush, some over rock, and some leaped from branch to branch, all the while, Matthias not aware of their exploits. They marched forth, getting ever closer, and were about to take fire when one of them tripped and fell. It tumbled down the earthy hill, soil and gravel kicked up into the air and dust blinding the sight of his companions nearby. Others of him just looked on in disgust and regret. It finally stopped when it landed right in front of Matthias? horse on the road. Matthias and the horse were startled and jumped back a few spaces. ?Komodos!? Matthias said under his breath, eyes widened with fear and revelation. He turned his head around and noted all the lineups of them. There were hundreds, each with a bow and arrow, ready to take fire on his body and curse it to the afterlife. Cold sweat ran down his face. He took a gloved hand to it and wiped it off furiously. Without another thought about it, he lashed the reins and shouted for the horse to go. They rode off at top speed through the winding forest, any arrow shot at them barely missing them and colliding with the ground or a tree. He looked back only a few times, but mostly kept his eyes up ahead. Most arrows came from there or the sides. He laid low on the horse?s back as if he believed it would blend him in like camouflage. The lizard men made their way through the trees, trying to keep up with the speed of Matthias? horse. Fortunately, Komodos were known for their speed and were experts of the woodland areas of Gordendok. Matthias had no chance of escape on horseback and he knew it. There is no way I?m staying to fight, he told himself in his head, dodging a speeding arrow aimed for the left side of his torso. I?d be a fool to fight them. This is a full-fledged army of warriors here and with their bow and arrow skills, I wouldn?t stand a ghost of a chance. He agreed with himself and instead made wild zigzag moves through and in between the trees to keep, not only the Komodos at bay, but to keep the arrows from actually scoring their target. Matthias seemed to be in the clearing when an arrow zipped past his face, it?s sharp arrowhead tip slicing a small cut on his cheek. He put a hand to his face and looked at it, distinguishing the blood that spilled onto it. There was no doubt about it. These Komodos were getting closer to hitting their objective. He ended up unsheathing his sword and raising it high into the air, letting out a horrible war cry that frightened even some of the larger and more stronger-built Komodos. Any Komodo that even dared to approach Matthias while he was on horseback took a nasty slash from his severe blade. Matthias even severed one Komodo to it?s bloody death, one that did return to Matthias? mind as a brutal act of unneeded violence. But then again, he must protect himself. If he didn?t kill that Komodo, it may of took aim and shot him in the back when he rode by. As such, he continued slaying the defenseless Komodos that defied to run out and fight at the roadside. It was all looking up for Matthias. Most of the Komodos grew weary or were too injured to chase him anymore. He might actually escape their rampage before he was taken down by arrows. This thought bore into his mind and stayed there until he turned to look forward only to meet a branch that hung low. He took it to the face, falling backward off his horse, who continued galloping away. Matthias landed roughly onto the hard ground, his sword scattering off to the bushes. He was open target and it wouldn?t be long before the Komodos rejoined him for another go. That?s when he heard a voice that seemed to be in his head, but yet very realistic. ?Wake up!? he heard the voice say a dozen times before he actually heard it outside of his head. ?Wake up, fool! Or be killed. I don?t care!? Matthias? eyes slowly opened, everything still bleary like the sight one has under water. He saw mixes of green and yellow, most likely the colors of the trees and sunlight. Then there was a big brown blur. It took on the shape of an animal, slowly morphing into what seemed to be a large dog. Then finally, a horse was seen. The image was still not clear, probably from some sort of concussion, but he was sure that his visitor was a horse. But where did the voice come from? Did he imagine it? Was it from a dream? Wherever it came from, it led him to wakefulness, which he greeted with a grunt and a minor stir. The horse gently kicked his leg and once again, he heard the voice. ?Get up and get on my back. The lizard men are coming!? Not making an attempt to flee the mysterious voice, he gradually crawled onto the back of the steed that seemed to appear out of nowhere. What did he have to lose if he followed this voice? His eyes were mostly closed as the horse began it?s run. His vision was still blurred so it didn?t make a difference if he opened his eyes or not. It was a rough ride and he felt as if he were traveling at the speed of light. He could feel the wind of passing trees and the bumps of the rocky roads. And slowly the voices of charging Komodos faded into his unconscious thought as did all other sounds of the reality he knew so well.

Nope. The toss up is still up for grabs. Wasabi and Lrb cannot answer.

Actually, I'm not sure where, but somewhere a theatre held a LOTR marathon where all three films were played back to back. That's over 10 hours of movies ;_; Even if it were LOTR, I couldn't stand it. And Spikey, we did mention the Silmarillion earlier in this thread. We just didn't talk about it much. And the reason the big book was split into 3 was because back when Tolkien published them, book-making was very expensive and the LOTR book was so massive, it took a lot of paper and just simply couldn't be done because of how they made books back then. :) AS for the titles, Tolkien liked the title for FOTR since it was about the Fellowship. He was very vague on TTT since he supposedly didn't mention what two towers the title interpreted. As for ROTK, he didn't like that title since it gave out what happened in the end. But the publishers insisted and so he ended up calling it that.

It's simple. They just didn't want him in it. And I don't think you need spoilers for that. He wasn't a big part of the book and therefore they thought, if something needed to be taken out, it'd be him. And they said they were crushed when the film-making was over. They were quite sad. All on those danged Extended DvDs XD I know I'm crushed whenever I finish an acting performance. It's truely sad, but fun when you're doing it.

I've seen a few of those flicks. One of my favorites was "Clerks" where the two stormtroopers worked in that DeathStop shop in one of the DeathStars and one of them got fired or something. It was hilarious, but it needed a sequel because it ended with a "To be Continued" :< I also liked the Star Wars Gangsta Rap which can be found at Shockwave.com. I know all the words to it and it is great XD Best dang things I've seen in ages. I've probably watched others, but it's been a while so I can't recall. EDIT: I just watched that Dark Side Switch Campaign. Freakin' funny XD "I had to get my arm cut off, which sucked!" Good stuff :)

Well then, if he sold off the film rights to LOTR, he must've to The Hobbit, and maybe some other books he has written. He did write a lot of literature back in his day, afterall. But then again, the son of Tolkien may be afraid they'd ruin Tolkien's great creation. Probably why he hated the idea of LOTR films.

Sorry :( Incorrect. TOSS UP! [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=537568[/img] [b]Q:[/b] In Episode 14 of Season 2 ("Let's Go To The Hop"), what did Tony the Tiger get as a gift?

I do not remember anything about a tig from the first Extended DvD set, but I do recall one time where Billy and Dominic were sittin' on their break and talkin' trash about Elijah and then Elijah walks over and sits down and they're all nice to him. Then Dominic gets up to get an apple and so Elijah and Billy talk trash about Dominic. Then Dominic comes back and Billy leaves and Elijah and Dominic talk about Billy. It was very humorous. And they didn't even plan to do it. It just sort of happened. That's what I do with my friends all the time.

Meh. Whichever... all I know is it took a damn long time and if my computer crashed before I saved it, I'd die XD As for these maniacs who believe it's all pure evil, I still think they're silly. It's a simple storyline. Sure, children could take it seriously, but most of the smaller ones wouldn't understand the wild concepts and politics involved within Star Wars. I know I didn't when I was a wee one. As such, if it effects anyone, it effects older teens like you and I, as well as adults. Adults may not take it as seriously, but they understand it more and for some reason, some adults take it too seriously and believe it rots the minds of their kids and turns then to the dark side, so to speak.

Well, of course. If they ever did bring out the film of [b]The Hobbit[/b], they'd have to cast Ian to do the part of Bilbo again. I mean, in real life he's an old man, but they managed to make him look young in the FOTR, so why not? Though, I believe I read Peter Jackson destinctly saying that they're not doing The Hobbit. But hey, if they did, they'd have to cast a whole group of new actors for the main roles, aside from Ian being Gandalf, the other Ian being Bilbo, and Andy Serkis as Gollum.
