Welcome to the forum Marina! As for the drawing, Cuuute! xD I love the shading tones you used to make it look very anime & manga oriented. Though I don't consider it a portrait so much as like a chibi portrait, I guess?

Did I say Arch Angel? ROFL I meant Enemy. >_< But HOLYGOODGODALMIGHTY that's quite a list o_o I never liked the music by artists like Steve Vai and the Satch but they're easily some of the best guitarists that ever lived. I've been wanting to try more of Cryptopsy and a few other bands on that list for some time now, but I haven't gotten around to it. I wouldn't regard Rob Zombie and Linkin Park as anything but MEtal, actually. They just fit more into the Nu-Metal genre. Actually most people nowadays consider anything with an electric guitar and quick riffs and loud drum beats as Metal. So it's Metal, just the more publicized and mainstream stuff that kind of overshadows the rest of the genre & sub-genres. I've also failed to mention that I left off a LOOOOOOOOT of artists on that quick list xD (I even forgot to put Children of Bodom up there and I stuck a lot of mixed stuff into just 'Metal' even though I'm aware that some of it's not that simple..except for maybe Tool, they're Alternative Metal).

Nope, I've never listened to Anorexia Nervosa. But yeah I can see why some people would absolutley hate Slayer or regard them as a more nu-metal nowadays thanks to God Hates Us All. But you've really got to listen to their really older stuff (Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, Reign In Blood, Haunting the Chapel, etc) in order to appreciate the once was awesomeness of Slayer. As for Death, yeah brotha! I can't even begin to describe how much I love their Human album, good lord. It's like the most pulsating, riveting, somewhat off-beat but highly melodic Death Metal album I've ever listened to. I simply love the drums, especially in Suicide Machine where the drummer busts out into random drum rolls like every 10 seconds o____________o rofl. I love practically every Death album even though Chuck kicked like all of the band members in each album to get new ones, they still somewhat follow the same syle of Death that I've always loved (the rapidly changing tempos and sounds, the somewhat off-beat drumming, the bouncy and harsh bass playing, the way the two guitarists always play the same riff then one or the other breaks off for a moment to play another riff or goes into a crazily sophisticated and high pitched guitar solo). I never liked Chuck's voice much, but eh..it's grown on me and the rest of the music's so good if they didn't even have a lead singer I don't think I'd care o_o

I'm not going to actually tell you who in my family is a schizo, instead I'll just tell you he's very, VERY closely related to myself and the rest of my mom's side. Anyway, his case is so severe that he's become depressed and kind of enclosed himself outside of family relations and affairs because he's afraid of disturbing us. He grew up in highschool as quite a ladies man, even though he was happily gay and all of the sudden went crazy and started seeing stuff that wasn't actually there, hearing voices and stuff. He never really told anyone that he was a schizophrenic, instead he told my mom and her sisters about the things that he was imagining. My mom remembers seeing him once locking himself in her garage, talking to someone who wasn't there. And another time when he padded up the inside of his van with carpet for some weird reason (it made him feel more safe, I guess?). It's really sad, though. He was such a great guy and my mother misses him greatly and I don't remember ever meeting the guy. He just cut himself from the family. Right now I don't think he's working isntead he's living off of money he's saved over the years and he lives a very lonely life. =(

I think it's pretty amusing actually. I don't see why anyone would want their rights taken away either. Though I disagree totally on flag burning ._.

Slayer are American. And imo they're the best damn Metal band, ever O_O (let's just excuse their Undisputed Attitude cover album and God Hates Us All more nu-metally album). I think Death are American too. In which case they kick total ***. Chuck was easily one of my most favorite guitarists, where he lacks in vocal abilities he makes up for 10 fold in his guitarwork. A few non American bands that kick *** are Dimmu Borgir (newer stuff, I don't care much for 'HARDCORE' Black Metal) and Children of Bodom. Bodom kick so much *** with their rapid fire riffing and crazily melodic guitar solos

I don't have a single type of genre that I like the most xD I've got quite a few instead; Classic Rock (Led Zeppelin, Rush, Judas Priest, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Creedence Clearwater Revival) Metal (Gwar, Meshuggah, Tool, NEW Dimmu Borgir, Primus, Buckethead) Thrash Metal (OLD Slayer, OLD Metallica, Kreator, Annihilator, OLD Anthrax, OLD Sepultura, Megadeth, Destruction, Overkill, Testament) Death Metal (Death [of course], Behemoth, Chimaera, Necrophagist, Lamb of God [also Burn the Priest], Cannibal Corpse, Arch Angel, Deicide) Power Metal (Manowar, Brainstorm) I also like Guilty Gear music and tons of Rock & Metal (oddest thing about my musical preferences is that I'm a faithful Christian even though I listen to some very Satanic stuff o_o).

Hey, how's it going? I just joined myself =D

I've been listening to a lot of Death lately and a Guilty Gear OST.

[quote name='Sir Auron']We have all had our tough spots in games that we thought we would never beat, but then the next thing you know, we beat it. So what was yours? For me is complete all 50 Missions in Guilty Gear xx. It was pretty tough. and beating Mike Tyson in Punch-Out!! And lastly finishing Alundra, those puzzles and jumping are frustratingly hair-trigger![/quote] Yeah man, Guilty Gear's tough as ----! I still haven't completed Guilty Gear X2#Reload for XBOX >_< I'm only on about...mission 30-40 but I've completed some rather difficult ones (such as the last mission, the fight with the super rigged Sol). There's been many difficult accomplishments I've made in games O_O On Counter-Strike Source I managed to whipe out a really good team as the only terrorist left on my team and as they began to diffuse the bomb, I charged 'em, killed 1-2 guys running up the steps to get me and the guy diffusing the bomb. The bomb went off while there was a few of them left but they were really angry xD On Halo: Combat Evolved for PC a long time ago (a year or two), I managed to dive off of a bridge (in that one snowy level) in a warthog as I heard my opponents driving by underneath it I listened closely and I launched myself off the side and ontop of them killing all of them instantly. We laughed for a few solid minutes XD I'd say completing the campaign on WarCraft 3: Reign of Chaos on hard was my most difficult task.

I've probably rewatched Cowboy Bebop like 8-9 times and I'm still loving every minute of it =D

I'd say 'hot nerd' but I'm not sure if you're asking me to pick like attirbutes from those categories, or just the label o_o I'm bad at this rofl.

Ugh, I wish I found myself time to play Guild Wars. Since I've bought it I've only played it twice and for less than an hour or two. =(

Greetings and salutations! To those who don't know me, I used to visit under the alias 'TornSoul' a few years ago. Jeeze this place has changed quite a bit o_o Anyways, if you're still unsure who I am I'll just re-introduce myself, my name's Zach and I'm not too much on Anime anymore instead I'm very artistic and I enjoy gaming quite a bit.
