[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mitch [/i] [B][color=black][size=1][font=rockwell] So you're saying that the ten commandments were written to show us we're "far from perfect"? So tell me this, isn't that just contradictory? It still condemns you. And people are prejudiced against one another for what the bible says. Heck, just for someone who doesn't believe in God, they get a lot of negativity about it. I know it's like that the other way around, too. But seriously, everyone knows they're far from perfect, unless they're some stuck-up little moron. I don't think what you said actually really means anything. If that's the point of the entire bible, the entire commandments, other than god, then what's the point of it? I don't know. Religion is just so pointless to me, especially of late. Sorry if I offended you or anything, but this stuff has to be said.[/color][/size][/font] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]The point of the Ten Commandments is not just to show us that we're not perfect, though that is one of their purposes. They also just plain tell us what isn't right, so that we can at least try to what [i]is[/i] right. And the point of the Bible, the main point, isn't to tell us what's right and wrong, isn't to just tell us there is a god. . . . It's about what that God did for us. That is, he saved us from everything wrong we've ever done. The Ten Commandments show us that we've all gone wrong, they show us that rather plainly. The reason for that is so that we'll admit that yes, we've gone wrong. If you admit that and believe in Jesus, and that he died for all of us, then he'll save you. That, my friend, is the point of the Bible. Not to condemn people, but to save them. If you just read bits and pieces of it (like just reading about the Ten Commandments and nothing else), yes, it may sound as though it's just condemning people, but if you read more (the New Testament, mainly), you can see more of what it's actually about. And no, I'm not preaching to anyone, I'm just explaining. That being, I'm not going to argue with anyone about this. If you don't care, fine, I just don't like it when people discount the Bible when they don't even really know what it's about. Right, now that that's over, back to the main subject at hand. . . . Personally, I think pornography is wrong. And not just because the Bible says lusting after someone is wrong, either, my conscience also tells me it's wrong. And as for the thing about the difference between porn and art, well, I think the difference comes from the person painting the picture, taking the photo, whatever. If the person intends the thing to be art, then it's art. If the person is just doing it to make money, or if they actually intend for it be looked at in a lustful way, then it's porn. That's not the end of it, though. There's also another side to it; the side of the viewer. Say someone is looking at Michelangelo's David statue, as mentioned earlier in this thread, and they get aroused. The problem there is with the viewer, not the creator. Just because someone gets aroused by something doesn't make it porn. Same goes for the other way: Just because someone looks at a picture of a naked woman and thinks of it as art doesn't make it art. As I said before, I think it lies with the motives of the creator.[/color]

[color=indigo]Personally, I'm not one to go and tell about every little thing. For most things, I just keep quite, unless it's something big. If someone asks me a direct question about who did something or what happened or whatnot, I'll tell them, though. I mean, I'm not going to lie.[/color]

[color=indigo]Hey, not bad. Very detailed. . . . Except that you missed one thing: The Materia slots in his sword aren't there. That, and the head could use a little work, but besides that it's really good. Lots of detail, I especially like how you did the sword.[/color]

James has gone evil. *readies the sawed off shotgun and hand granades* :demon: Heheh, sorry I'm a bit late, but happy birthday. One more year and you can go get roaring drunk. *cough*[size=1]legally[/size]*cough* . . . Or maybe you already can, actually. Not sure on what the legal drinking age is over in Australia. :cross:[/color]

[color=indigo]Wow, that's beautiful, especially for just a quick sketch. I really like the look of the hair (it does kind of look like Lulu's, now that I think about it). I think the hand, like others have said, is the only thing wrong with it, and you don't even really notice that very much. I love it. ^_^[/color]

[color=indigo]Yeah, it's Flash. With a good map you'd be able to get through the caves, though it'd still be a pain.[/color]

[color=teal]"Ah, dang. . . . This isn't good. Heal! Haste! Float!"[/color] Nothing. [color=teal]"Life, dangit!"[/color] It appeared that all of his spells were blocked. [color=indigo]"Time to go at it the old fashioned way, then,"[/color] Cloud said and approached the Zombie Dragon. [color=teal]"I don't use Materia, though, shouldn't the handicap not work on me?"[/color] [color=darkblue]"I think there's just a field that blocks all magic,"[/color] Auron said as he slashed at one of the Dragon Zombie's long arms. [color=teal]"Right then,"[/color] Cecil said, and charged straight at the monster, parrying claw slashes as he went. At the same time, Cloud rushed the Dragon Zombie from the left and Auron from the right. All three were kept busy as the dragon slashed and stabbed with its eight long arms. Cloud and Auron couldn't get close to the thing's body, while Cecil, going down the center, was getting a little too close. He dodged, parried, and slashed with his sword, fending off the dragon's four front claws. He saw an opening, and stabbed his sword straight up at its head. Before the blade could reach it's target, though, the four claws came together and locked around the blade. With a quick twist of his wrist, Cecil locked the claws together around the blade, leaving the fearsome monster unable to move its four front arms separately. [color=teal]"Quick, now's your chance!"[/color] Cecil yelled above the dragon's screams of anguish. [color=teal]"I'm holding its four front--woah!"[/color] The Dragon Zombie reared up, lifting its arms high and taking Cecil with them, still holding onto the hilt of his sword. The dragon shook Cecil, trying to dislodge the sword, and he could barely hang on. [color=teal]"Hur--ry--up--be--fore--I--get--thr--own--ac--cros--the--ro--om!"[/color] Taking advantage of the distraction, Cloud hacked off the dragon's two back-right arms. It let out a horrible, gut-wrenching scream and started trashing about, heedless of anything around it. Both Cloud and Auron were thrown to the outer edge of the room, hitting the wall with a resounding "thud!" Auron groaned as he sat up, and said, [color=darkblue]"I don't think that's what he had in mind."[/color] Finally, after much thrashing about, the Dragon Zombie dislodged the sword from its claws. Miraculously, Cecil had managed to hang on. He now found himself hitting the ceiling and falling straight back down toward the dragon's large mouth, having been thrown straight up with his sword. [color=teal]"Oh CRAP!"[/color] Cecil yelled, and blindly swung his sword as he fell towards the large, fleshless maw of the giant Dragon Zombie. He hit the ground with a loud, high pitched "THTING!" as his crystal armor reverberated from the impact, the sound echoing around the room for a moment. Raising his head, he looked up along the ground just as the head of the Dragon Zombie landed not an inch from him, mouth gaping, eyes staring straight at him. He started to let out a yell, but then the rest of the dragon's dry bones fell over on top of him, pushing the breath from him. [color=indigo]"That's probably a lot less funny than it looks,"[/color] said Cloud as he got up. [color=indigo]"But I don't care,"[/color] he laughed, as Cecil just glared up at him from his prone position. [color=teal]"Just get this hideous thing out of my face,"[/color] Cecil growled, waiting for someone to clear away the pile of bones that prevented him from rising. [color=darkblue]"At least he got the thing,"[/color] Auron said as he kicked aside the carcass of the dead--again--dragon. [color=teal]"Thanks,"[/color] said Cecil as he rose and retrieved his sword from the pool, where it lay glistening in the water. [color=teal]"So, what's next?"[/color] he asked, and looked towards the gate.

[color=indigo]Actually, there's one more HM that you're never actually required to use. Some parts would be a real pain without it, but it's possible.[/color]

[color=indigo][b]Answer:[/b] [see attachment] [b]Question:[/b] In FFIV, what is the only Crystal room with a door in the front and the back of the room?[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by dark_serena [/i] [B]Well, thanx for MOST of the advice anyways, Spider...However, if you try and pull of anymore 'Worship Me and Forever Thou Shalt Be Blessed' b.s. I'll find out where you live and cripple you (am I even allowed to make warnings?) :angel:[/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]To me, unless you were joking (hard to tell from the way it was phrased), that sounded more like a threat. . . . And no, threats are not okay. I consider that worse than flaming. If Crimson Spider says something like that, though, chances are he's joking. I kind of do that for Zelda stuff (all that with the great Zelda Lore Master), but I don't expect people to take it that seriously. You shouldn't take this seriously either. It's a joke; either take it as one, or ignore it all together.[/color]

[color=indigo]Heehee, I have that episode on one of my tapes. ^_^ [b]Answer:[/b] Porta Vista [b]Question:[/b] In R/B/Y, are you required to get all five HMs in order to beat the game? If not, which one(s) don't you need?[/color]

[color=indigo]*tries very hard to keep thoughts of QA taking a shower out of my head* Naughty thoughts, bad, bad, bad! :worried: Ahem, yes, um, well. . . . I've seen most of the first season, and I don't remember Misty's last name ever being mentioned. Maybe it tells what it is in one of the later seasons, though? And by the way, happy birthday. :)[/color]

OOC: Well, I need something to do while the others are busy with the challenge, so I'm going to have some fun in the Battle Square. ^_^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cecil looked around; it seemed everyone else had gone to their assigned tasks, leaving him alone in the main lobby. [color=teal][i]The fifth wheel,[/i][/color] he thought to himself. [color=teal][i]Well, the others can handle the challenge, then. . . . I hope, anyway.[/i][/color] He decided to head over to the Battle Square, to see how Auron and Cloud were doing, and jumped into the chute. Upon arriving, he walked up to the counter and looked at the small TV screen showing Cloud and Auron in the battle arena. Both were frogs. [color=teal]"Looks to be an interesting fight,"[/color] he said to the girl at the counter. "Yeah, they're both just so strong!" she said. Her eyes were glued to the screen, watching as the two warriors transformed back to their human forms. [color=teal]"Hm, yeah,"[/color] Cecil replied. [color=teal]"You wouldn't happen to have another arena I could use, would you?"[/color] For the first time since he arrived, the girl looked up at Cecil. "Wow, you look just as strong as they do!" Cecil chuckled softly, and grinned at the girl. [color=teal]"Well, I'm not one to brag..."[/color] he trailed off. "I'm sure you won't have much trouble," the girl said as she typed a few keys on her keyboard and a second door opened up. [color=teal]"Thanks,"[/color] Cecil said, and walked through the doors into the slightly smaller arena. The doors shut behind him, and the lights flickered to life. The square room consisted of a circular platform set in the middle, with stairs leading down to it from the door, and a shallow pool of water going from the edge of the platform to the walls. "Whenever you're ready," the girl said through the speaker. [color=teal]"Bring it on,"[/color] Cecil said and unsheathed his sword, taking a few experimental swings. "Here we go," said the girl, and a gate across from the entrance opened up. Cecil peered into the darkness beyond, waiting for the monsters to emerge and the battle to begin.

[color=indigo]Ooo, very cool! I really like the sketchy look, though I think it'd be a little better with the ears pointed up a bit more. (Though I suppose it's a bit late to do anything about that). For the text, you might try making it green instead of blue, but that's just me. Also maybe try having it in all caps, to make it a little more visible in the verticle arrangement.[/color]

[color=indigo][b]Answer:[/b] The Ultima Weapon is blue-purple in the middle with white on the edges. The colors will fade as Cloud loses HP, until the blade is almost transparent. [b]Question:[/b] What is the name of the song that plays during the fight with Bizarro-Sephiroth? (I love having the FFVII soundtrack, heheh).[/color]

[color=indigo]Lets watch the flaming, shall we? I don't want to have to send out any ban warnings over a help thread. That would just be silly. :rolleyes: Zanarkand Abes, Crimson Spider was refering to questions that had been asked before he posted that, not to every question that was going to be posted in this thread. And from what I've seen, I'm pretty sure he did give all the info in the other thread. All he was doing was refering you to the other thread, in case you hadn't seen it yet, so that he wouldn't have to type out the same thing over again. And from what I've read, it seems like Crimson Spider has been pretty helpful. I understood most of what he was talking about, and I haven't even played R/S. And anyway, in the end, he is just trying to help. Oh and dark_serena, just to let you know, a post consisting entirely of smilies is spam (a quote doesn't count as other text, since you didn't write it). It's pretty much like a one word post, only even less informative.[/color]

[color=indigo]Nope, sorry. There isn't any boss music or anything for when you beat a boss in the original. Just a sound effect for when you get a piece of the Triforce.[/color]

[color=indigo]Yeah, back when James was accepting avatar submissions during the switch to 60x60, I made around 100 Zelda avatars. Then when we switched to 80x80, I resized some and made some more, and sent them in again. Apparently, not many other people sent in avatars that time, so we ended up with a high ratio of Zelda avatars. So, my point being...it's everyone else's fault, not mine! :toothy: Maybe you should bug Charles about putting up more avatars. James is pretty busy, so I doubt he'd have time. Oh, and Mitch; that's my banana, not Weh's. I originally found it. He just usually gets credit for it since I let him use it and he ended up using it as his avatar.[/color]

Cecil stared off in the direction that Freya went. [color=teal]"Well, there goes my chances for [i]that,[/i]"[/color] he said as he watched Freya disappear through one of the chutes leading to the Speed Square. [color=teal]"Hey, Sephiroth, I take it you aren't too thrilled to be the one doing the Event Square activity, right?"[/color] [color=purple]"What are you getting at?"[/color] Sephiroth asked. [color=teal]"I wouldn't mind taking your place,"[/color] replied Cecil. [color=teal]"You know, the 'knight in shining armor,' heh."[/color]

[color=indigo]Yeah, thought so... [b]Question:[/b] What song from the original Legend of Zelda was re-used in A Link to the Past/Four Swords? (Besides the overworld theme on LTP and the title screen theme on FS, that is).[/color]

[color=indigo][b]Question:[/b] In FFVI, where do you find the Moogle Charm and what does it do?[/color] [b]Edit:[/b] [color=seagreen]Well, everyone I've talked to has said that they first appeared in FFVI, and that's the first game that I myself know that they're in...[/color]

[color=indigo]He meant Ocarina of Time, I think. If you look back at the Deku Scrub Bros. question, he said "OOC" instead of "OOT." He's probably talking about the three Spiritual Stones in OOT. For the answer, though, I'd think that the three songs that you get on the Harp of Ages, in Oracle of Ages, look more like the pearls in TWW. They have the same markings as on the pearls, anyway. So, yeah, which did you mean?[/color]

[color=indigo][b]Answer:[/b] A Ribbon protects a character from all negative status effects, and I believe you can find two in the game. At least, that's all I've ever found; not sure.[/color]

[color=indigo]Heh, I think that's been asked before, but... [b]Answer:[/b] It's Bowser. [b]Question:[/b] In The Wind Waker, what is the only dungeon boss that you defeat but not destroy? (Not looking for the specific name, just which boss).[/color]
