[SIZE="1"]Terminator is one of my all time favorite series' second only to James Bond. I don't see how having an Arnold look alike is a good move for the series. The whole time the viewer will just be comparing his traits to Schwarzenegger's. It would have been smarter to just go with a completely different look entirely. Either way i'm excited to see this movie, I've been waiting long enough.[/SIZE]

Dogs. Simply for the reason of loyalty and energy. Dogs are always happy to see you walk through the door. They also have an endless desire to play and are always fun to have around.

I need some help. I'm a little low on money as of late, but I need to buy a gift, so the only way I can do it is with those coke reward codes. If any one out there has any please send them to [email]cokecodes@hotmail.com[/email] (I made it just for this) or send them over PM. I need to get 12,000 codes, so help would be appreciated. To keep this open for discussion. What do you think of coke and other companies having reward programs so you drink their product. I guess it works for me.

A few gaming sites I was on recently were buzzing with posts about a racist PSP ad. Here's a little quote from the Gamespot article I found about the situation. [quote]In a statement titled "Sony stoops to new low with racially charged ad," Yee said he was "deeply disappointed" in the publisher's decision to run the ad, which features a white woman holding a black woman by the jaw in a threatening manner. Sony has said the ad, one in a series that features the white woman promoting the system in a variety of ways, was designed to show the contrast between the colors of the new and old PSPs, and has "no other message or purpose." [/quote] Here's what all the fuss is about. [IMG]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/SilentSecurity/sony_screen001.jpg[/IMG] When I first saw it I thought it was kind of odd that they'd do something like this. Then I took a step back and looked around at all the other kind of ads you see today. Last night I was watching SNL and a Budweiser Select ad came on, it showed a guy pull a beer out of a cooler and then he was all of the sudden in the Caribbean with half nude women grinding on him.So.if I drink a Bud Select that's going to happen to me? Ha! I wish. This PSP ad makes a lot more sense than that beer commercial did when it comes to an advertising stand point, but the only reason that it's causing more of a splash than a commercial with provocative dancing women with beer is because every time people begin to compare two races in this manner the suits in DC get the shivers and start throwing out big words saying it's wrong to do this sort of advertising. Now, if the black woman was doing this to the white woman would there be as big of a fuss, maybe.but I doubt it. People have got to start looking beyond the color of people's skin and start looking at the meaning of this ad.it's just saying that the white PSP is the new thing. I'm not saying to forget the past and all the old prejudices and problems there, but if we keep doing this kind of fussing every time a multi-race ad like this pops up then we're always going to be stuck in the same rut.

Soldier: OK Snake, this Yoga maneuver is for our more advanced members and is a great stretch after a long mission Snake: Yep I feel the stretch in my thighs Soldier: Good. Now if you feel a snapping sensation in your ribs and neck don't be alarmed. Snake: Wait...what? Soldier: Oh....nothing.

Naw, I don't think so. You can find love at any age and with a person at any age. I fell for a girl a few years back who was three years older than me, I actually think we had a stronger bond between us because of the age difference. People can talk all they want about age and you should find someone within a few years of you, but in the end love conquers all, age included.

I bought this game a little while ago thinking it'd be a game that I'd play for a little while and then get bored. Actually it turned out nothing like that. This game has been the only thing I've been playing on my PS2 now for a month. Why? Because it's freakin sweet! I just finished the 'Hard' mode a few minutes ago and am going to go back right after this to start on an even harder difficulty. Does anyone else have this game at the top of there list, I was just wondering.

Hmm... Actually I bought an N64 at blockbuster the other day for $12. I remember being younger and always heading over to a friends house to play. I don't regret buying it at all. It was pretty cool to dive into my past in the form of an N64 cartridge.

Well, ever since Toonami lost Kenshin I think they've really gone downhill. About five years ago was their peak (I still believe that), after that point they settled for appealing to not many age groups but younger ones (seriously, Kenshin could provide things to different ages that Bobo Bo just can't). I remember watching those five minute episodes a few years back (can't remember anything that happened though) and was disappointed when they stopped. then I heard a few months ago that a new show was coming, of course I didn't remember anything about those 5 minute episodes so I had no clue it was a sequel to those until I watched it. After watching a few episodes I think this is a great show. And It's perfect because it's at the end of Toonami and Adult Swim starts right after, this means I don't have to watch IGPX at seven and then sit down to watch AS at 11. The way that you see what the characters are like off the track and how they wonderfully tie in people's pasts is really great. Also, going in, I thought this show would just be about racing and that's all, but they tied in team problems, family problems, love problems, all kinds of things I'd never expect to see. In the end, if you haven't checked out this show you really should it's definitely worth the time.

Some shows I can get used to after awhile. I originally thought Gundam SEED was mediocre at best. After watching it more I found myself staying up until 1:00AM to watch it. Bobo on the other hand is one of those shows that get worse as you continue watching, I don't think I'll ever enjoy watching this show.

My all-time favorite game would have to be either Castlevania, Pac-man, or Pong. Sure those games are all of the main shelves of your local EB Games store but each one is unique in it's own special way. I remember when I was a little kid playing my gameboy my mother told me how she'd went out and bought a Pong system. To this day I love playing Pong. I love playing newer games to but it doesn't mean the classics aren't great. Pac-Man was a really great game. Sure not too much variety but at the end you just can't stop playing. Castlevania is definitely one of my favorites. How could it not be? The voice-overs are better than some current games. The storyline was good and it was fun to play. This game should be a model to all future RPGs, sadly, not everyone follows in this game's footsteps. i do like some of the current games. I recently finished Battlefront II and loved it, but would I call it an 'all-time favorite', no.

I've watched a few episodes here and there. Nothing really exciting. When I come over to my parents house on Tuesday's my mother makes sure it's being recorded or she's plopped in front of the TV. I was surprised when I read this today [quote] (USA TODAY) Television these days is loaded with sex, sex, sex ? double the number of sex scenes aired seven years ago, says a study out Wednesday. And the number of shows that include "safer sex" messages has leveled off, it said. There were nearly 3,800 scenes with sexual content spotted in more than 1,100 shows researchers studied, up from about 1,900 such scenes in 1998, the first year of the Kaiser Family Foundation survey. The examples of sexual content cited in the study ranged from discussions of sex on the WB's Gilmore Girls and Jack & Bobby to depictions of oral sex on NBC's Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and sexual intercourse on Fox's The O.C.[/quote] Notice that Gilmore Girls is on that short list in the last paragraph. That did indeed surprise me. In the end though it doesn't change my opinion of the show, which is a 5/10. Of course I'm a guy so shows such as this one don't really get me pumped.

Finally! A fragment trailer. I've been waiting for a fragment trailer for some time now, and boy am I glad it's here. Here's the link: [url=http://www.dothackers.net/]dothackers[/url] There's a little title at the bottom that says .hack//fragment trailer released (posted October 17th). Click the pic and the download window will pop-up. Enjoy!

[SIZE=1]Thing is, I never enjoyed the last game. If they had put bots in the multiplayer then it might have been a decent game. I thought the story line was pretty dumb and some of the weapons were mediocre at best. On the other hand, my friends thought the game was awesome and constantly asked to borrow it. Maybe I'm just not a fan of a squirrel (or whatever he is) walking around shooting stuff (unless it's Conker, now there's a good game XD). Or maybe I'm just not a TPS fan, but I don't think that's true either. So I guess to sum it up, if Deadlock is anything like the last game, I'll rent it (if that).[/SIZE]

Oh boy. For awhile in my life I was extremely paranoid, I still sort of am. Of course now they let me out of my cage to post here and eat, just kidding. Actually I was paranoid and I thought this world was created for me. That I'm the only real living thing and everyone else is just data in this whole world. That as soon as my head turns the world evaporates into a series of 0s and 1s. Now of course, I'm thinking more clearly. Now I can't really decide. At least before I knew the answer, now I don't really know if I should trust the facts, or my religion. As of now, I'm going with religion.

[SIZE=1]I saw the original a few months ago over at a friends house. I liked it for the most part, how it boarder lined between suspense, action, a little horror. You're right, it probably didn't cost as much to make as most movies, but it's the creativity that counts. [spoiler]All the different traps, like the barb wire one for instance, were all amazingly planned. sure, trap a fat guy in a bunch of barbwire, doesn't sound too hard. I liked that he never technically killed anyone. Not even the detective that got his head blown off was killed by him, the detective's the one who triggered the trap.[/spoiler] After watching it all I thought about was what kind of sick mind comes up with this stuff, and I'm not talking about the movie character, I'm talking about the script writer. Seriously, if the guy who wrote this was made fun of as a kid, wet his bed until 23, and had a limp, he could be jigsaw. Whether r not this movie will live up to it's predecessor or not is still hard to think off. How many times can you trap people in a room waiting for them to kill themselves. We'll just have to watch this play out.[/SIZE]

Yeah, I get SJ sent to me monthly. There's no real point for me to get it sent now. Naruto's on TV. Sure it's going to get butchered by Toonami but I don't care that much. The only thing I read in it is Hikaru no go. Death note was awesome, I'll probably just buy them as they come out. Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh, Naruto, One Piece, and Shaman king are/were on TV. So what's the point for me to get SJ monthly anymore?

A new video was released on September 16th click [u][url=http://www.dothack.com/gu/]>here

[SIZE=1]I've been with AS since about a month after it started. I've seen the changes, and watched good shows become crappy and edited on Toonami (the y were already edited but toonami cut out even more). I'm amazed, and delighted, that Cowboy Bebop is still showing. I still watch it every Saturday (even though I already own all the DVDs and The movie). Inuyasha is one of the many shows I've followed since it started. But enough with AS's anime lineup what about the comedy. Even though all episodes of Family Guy aren't technically 'New' they're still great. I loved The Venture Brothers when it was new. My all-time AS original is Aqua Teen Hunger Force. That show is the best. Adult Swim is great, really great! It's created a whole new group of anime fanatics. Sure it also creates posers, but it's better to have 1 poser for every 10 true anime lovers compared to only a tenth of that many people who've found the path of anime (cheesy, yes). Before AS I couldn't talk to my friends about anime because the didn't understand it and weren't about to go buy a DVD. Now that AS has a whole anime chunk they now know why I think it's cool and why my room is filled with collectibles. Without the Sunday lineup I think I'd shoot myself knowing it'll be Monday the next day. Now I can go into school/work with a smile on my face. Robot Chicken is something I'd kill to watch, seriously. Without that show my life would be bleak and gray. That show opened up a new era of comedy for me, and others I'm sure. So in the end without my AS fix my life would suck. Long live Adult Swim![/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]My excitement in Lost kinda died out during the summer, but that Season Premiere sure got my excitement up again. [spoiler]I never understood that guy in the stadium, but I guess they don't want you to know yet do they? The door with the 'Quarantine' sign is what got me. The numbers on the door too, how did it all get there? Find one answer and ten new questions pop up.[/spoiler] This is a great show, probably one of the best I've seen in awhile.[/SIZE]

A link. Oh well it doesn't really matter now.

I'm a little slow :animeswea . I understand HTML coding (well enough that is) now how do I add it to my OB signature. It says that HTML is off. Is it off in my preferences (couldn't find it there) or is it off for the whole board?

Still I don't see where some people who've never gone to a catholic school think it's full of people saying all anime and video games should be burned. That might of been the norm in the 18th century or even when nuns taught, but not now. I asked the priest at my school today if there was anything wrong with anime and he said there is nothing wrong as long as it's clean. So what does that rule out, hentai and yaoi. Our priest came to one of our anime showings for our school club. I think that night we were watching Outlaw Star, and then if you wanted you could stay the night for the Adult Swim showing of Bebop (the movie). I actually saw him smile at some parts of outlaw star (wasn't the hot springs episode). So yes, some of those Opus Dei church conservatives might see anime as harmful and bad, but not all religious people.

[QUOTE=Maiya Asuka][color=#cc0000][size=2][font=Times New Roman]Pardon the assumption, but you're Catholic, aren't you? O_o I'm sorry, but Catholic principles kind of frighten me. My friend used to go to a catholic school and some guy came in to talk to them. He gave her a list of "evil" bands. Among the list were bands like AC/DC... :rolleyes: Her response to the list: [i]"Kurt Cobain is not 'evil'! He IS GOD!"[/i] :animeangr Anyway... anything that provides joy in life is "sin" to the Catholic church. Pride is a sin. Lust (masturbation, or just having a pyshical crush on someone, etc.) is a sin. Fiction is a sin. I don't mean to offend because I know that not all Catholics follow these ridiculous principles... but... it's just frustrating. And yes, I'm not surprised that a 'Christian' principle is "OMG that japanese animation is screwing with your head!" I think that's where so many kids these days get the idea that anime is stupid and that they [b]must[/b] make fun of otaku for expressing even remote interest in it. (My friends are sometimes even told, "OMG u need to liek stopp watchin them japnes cartoonz they messin wit yo head makin u turn lessbo...") I think I'm getting carried away with this... better quit while I'm ahead. :animesmil I'll just say, I have enough problems with the Christian faith without having to listen to "STOP THAT'S EVIL" or "THAT IS A SIN GET ON YOUR KNEES AND REPENT" for anything enjoyable that you do. :rolleyes: Oh, and please, no one get offended. I'm really not trying to offend anyone.[/size][/color][/font][/QUOTE] First off Where the #### does your friend go to school vatican city? I brought a Black Sabbath CD to school and my teacher played it in class. I go to a Catholic school now but before I went to a public. From what I've seen there are more anime lovers at the Catholic school then there was at my old one. Also you think masturbation should be considered un-sinful? If your such a whack job that you have to stare at playboy while you [spoiler]jack off[/spoiler], yeah I'd consider you a sinner. I'm not a 'Catholic fanatic' hell I don't even like the pope we have now but, i'll sum this up in one word, DUH! My point is I don't think it matters what religion you are or what kind of school you go to, there will always be teachers who hate anime, and teachers who support it.
