[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]Ready and glad to be close to finishing. As much fun as college has been, I'm kind of sick of it. I'm ready to move on. =P Though this fall semester, in addition to getting married and having a part time job... is really gonna eat up my time. o_O[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]I've hit the 100 hour mark with [B]Dragon Quest VIII[/B]. Not to beat it, but on account of all the after game bonus stuff you can do. It's always fun when game has bonus dungeons and other stuff to play with once you've beaten it. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]I'm currently playing [B]Dragon Quest VIII[/B]. I stopped since I got busy with life. So I picked it up during my break between semesters. I had forgotten just how awesome this game is. I've now beaten it and I'm doing all of the fun after game bonus stuff. So I can beat it again and unlock a second ending. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]I'm going to shut this down since you really need more of description and story than mangled quotes. Aside from those, which I'm not counting btw, you have next to nothing as a premises for this rp you wish to launch. I suggest you take a look here: [URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=58238"][U]Auditions Guidelines[/U][/URL] for some guidance. If you have questions, feel free to drop me or our Theater moderator Darren a pm. [B]Thread Closed[/B][/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='sbsp13668] [FONT="Arial"']If a member doesn?t have any Worlds, but has a guestbook in their portfolio, then the majority of their signings will probably be "HAY I LIEK UR AVI AND ARTZ. BE MY FRIEND PLZ".[/FONT][/quote]That?s how people chose to comment or sign. No matter where you put it, you have no control over what someone is going to say unless you restrict it in the first place. But if you?re going to do that, you may as well simply delete comments you don?t like since you wouldn?t approve them anyway. So again, people can easily solve it by deleting comments they don?t want on their guestbook. Like SunfallE, I see this as a non-issue since it?s so easily solved. And coincidentally, the comment tracking system at theOtaku, which tells you where you got a comment and on what, makes tracking down and removing unwanted comments easy to do.[quote name='sbsp13668][FONT="Arial"'] If I have to look for an older post on a user?s site, I find it just as difficult sifting through pages of posts on Worlds as it is on sites. However, I do enjoy the tag-making abilities on Worlds, but since most users don?t use them, it?s still tedious searching the pages.[/FONT][/quote]Actually, searching older posts in worlds is simpler. You have the option to filter what was posted based on what type of post it is (life, guide, essay, fiction, etc) and you can change the view to a list, which gives you the titles for the most recent forty posts. MyOtaku didn?t have this function at all. So any in depth browsing for an earlier post, was time consuming since it had a max of displaying somewhere between five to seven posts per page. Anyway, like SunfallE said, even if it's not possible for myOtaku, she does keep all suggestions in mind so they can be considered for theOtaku and Worlds. So taking the time to hash it out here, is useful in that respect. I'm sure it had to be a tough decision for Adam to decide to seperate the sites up like that, but if it's not physically possible to expand myOtaku as desired, that kind of leaves you with no choice. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]I'm not going to bother to cover most of what was said since I'd only be repeating what SunfallE and the others have already answered. However, in regards to this:[quote name='sbsp13668][FONT="Arial"]Since most of the users that I know dislike getting guestbook signings such as "OMG IWUV UR ART!", having the guestbook located where a member blogs slightly discourages those types of signings. I know that some users on MyOtaku used to sign guestbooks like that, but having the guestbook located right in a member?s portfolio doesn?t discourage such signings at all.[/FONT'] [/quote]Short of changing to a system were you have to approve all of the comments that go on your guestbook or make it where it's only open to friends, as in people you have subbed to... no matter [I]where[/I] you place it, you [I]will[/I] get signatures like that. Without fail. The easiest solution is to either ignore it or delete any comments that truly annoy you.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"][QUOTE=HopefulOTaKu]I wasnt sure if this goes in the anime section or the game section, but i settled on game. sorry if that's wrong ;;^_^ In several anime i have seen, there is a guy playing an anime dating sims game, and i wondered if there are such games for girls. I looked it up, and finding ones for male players is really easy, but there weren't any for female players. I'm not really looking for hentai stuff, but i have always wanted to try one of these, though not one where your objective is to win the girl. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]There is a rather nice one that is geared more towards girls and isn't a hentai, named [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelique_%28Japanese_series%29"][U]Angelique[/U][/URL]. However it has only been released in Japan. Which is a shame since it's a fun series of games for this type of deal. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='chibi-master']Okay, another question, who thinks it's creepy when Allamorph signs in as invisible and posts out of nowhere... Seriously, Allamorph, you keep doing that and it makes my skin crawl...:animedepr[/quote]First of all... [I]*posts from the shadows just to creep you out*[/I] Secondly... No one is invisible to me. :smirk:[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Korey][FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]Proof that Indi lurks a tad bit too hard.[/COLOR][/SIZE'][/FONT][/quote]Ironically, I was actually offline, other than to briefly log into chat at theO, for nearly three days since I had company visiting. =P So I haven't even lurked on OB for most of the past week. lol My company left to go back home earlier today though. It's going to seem kind of quiet without Nathan's little sisters running around. Heh.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[center][color=#4b0082][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Wake Up[/b][/font][/size][/color][/center] [color=#4b0082][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Adrian wished he knew how long Gavrie would be gone. He wasnâ??t going to say it, but he didnâ??t want to be stuck with Karl hanging around. Not that he didnâ??t like him but his condescending manner was enough to make him want to punch holes in the nearest wall. The entire time he had worked with him, on the other side, not once had he ever been pleasant or polite. [b][i]-Adrianâ?¦- [/i][/b] [b][i]-Donâ??t Astera.-[/i][/b] He stopped her, knowing full well what she was going to say. It wasnâ??t necessary. He had screwed up and there was no point in trying to sugar coat it. He sighed. [b][i]â??As much as I hate his lectures, heâ??s usually right.-[/i][/b] He started to head for the walls to his apartment and then changed directions when Karl indicated they should go to the roof instead. He didnâ??t bother to ask why; he just settled down and took a seat when Karl did. Adrian surveyed the city and waited. â??[b]You can stop pouting already,[/b]â? Karl ignored the sharp glance from Adrian. â??[b]I didnâ??t bring you here to lecture you.[/b]â? He hesitated slightly, â??[b]just because youâ??re about as graceful as a double-decker bus, doesnâ??t mean I need to point it out.[/b]â? â??[b]And yet you just did so anyway. Just what the hell is that supposed to mean?[/b]â? Adrian snapped before he could think the better of it. â??[b]Adrian![/b]â? Astera interjected. He ignored her outburst. "[b]Well?[/b]" He demanded when Karl didn't answer immediately. Karl finally turned and looked at him. â??[b]I thought it was obvious. You lack real experience, something that training canâ??t fix. You donâ??t need me to tell you that.[/b]â? He smirked a bit before turning serious. â??[b]What I do want is for you to tell me what you [i]really[/i] think of that whole affair.[/b]â? Adrian looked away, thinking about it for a moment before he finally replied. â??[b]When we went with Nathan to stop some vampires from dealing with other reapers, it was clear that they intended to kill them.[/b]â? He took a deep breath and let it out, â??[b]some of them couldnâ??t even stand after what had been done to them.[/b]â? He looked back at Karl, â??[b]This time they had plenty of openings to do some serious harm or even take us out and yet they did nothing. Every action they took was designed to keep us pinned down and wear us out, nothing more. Even when one slipped through our defense and rushed Phaidra, and Astera and I channeled so we could stop him, the blow aimed at her wasn't lethal.[/b]â? Adrian folded his arms across his chest not bothering to explain that he hadnâ??t realized that the blow aimed at Phaidra wasnâ??t lethal until [i]after[/i] he had used Asteraâ??s ability. It had all happened so fast that he had acted on instinct, believing that their intent was to kill. â??[b]It doesnâ??t take a genius to realize that they set us up. Weâ??ve been harassing their lines of communication and interfering with their activities. The others were doing that before I even returned to Earth. If I was Shou, and some unknown group kept managing to interfere with my operations, Iâ??d want to find out more.[/b]â? â??[b]So you think they were trying to capture your group?[/b]â? â??[b]I do.[/b]â? Adrian said firmly. â??[b]They could have taken us out long before you and the others arrived. Why else would they bother to send reinforcements? They didnâ??t need them. If their goal was to simply wipe us out, they could have done so.[/b]â? â??[b]What if youâ??re wrong?[/b]â? Adrian snorted, â??[b]It doesnâ??t matter, even if they were going to eventually kill us like they did with the othersâ?¦[/b]â? he trailed off. â??[b]We still need to be more cautious.[/b]â? He finally finished. Now it was Karl who snorted. â??[b]Youâ??re dealing with Shou, [i]idiot[/i]. Just being cautious wonâ??t be enough. He didnâ??t manage to stay hidden all this time by being stupid.[/b]â? â??[b]We donâ??t know that![/b]â? Adrian protested. â??[b]You heard Sarvel, they were wiped out. Itâ??s probably just some imposter using the name.[/b]â? â??[b]Oh?[/b]â? Karlâ??s eyebrow shot up. â??[b]You saw the body personally did you?[/b]â? He grinned at Adrianâ??s irritated look. â??[b]Why do you always have to be a jackass?[/b]â? Adrian demanded crossly. â??[b]You know I wasnâ??t around back then. That was nearly two thousand years before my time.[/b]â? He glared at Karl, ignoring Asteraâ??s attempts to get him to calm down. â??[b]Iâ??d be happy to be a little nicer, if only youâ??d try to be smarter.[/b]â? Karl mocked. He raised his hand, cutting off Adrian's retort. â??[b]Let me see if Iâ??m getting this right.[/b]â? He tapped his fingers on the part of the building he was sitting on. â??[b]You werenâ??t around for the war, you didnâ??t even recognize the name when told, and yet you blindly trusted someone telling you that they were wiped out?[/b]â? Karl leaned forward, his expression grim. â??[b]That kind of sloppy thinking will get you killed.[/b]â? â??[b]And just what kind [i]wonâ??t[/i] get me killed?[/b]â? Adrian replied sarcastically. â??[b]Always assume the worst. Assume that it really is Shou and prepare accordingly. If youâ??re wrong, it doesnâ??t hurt anything. But if youâ??re stupid enough to think otherwise, youâ??ll land in something way over your head and either end up dead or wish you were dead.[/b]â? â??[b]And I assume you of all people would know.[/b]â? Adrian snapped at him again. Karl sighed slightly, resigned. â??[b]I would actually. If you had bothered to take the time to learn about vampires and the war, youâ??d know why.[/b]â? He turned away and looked back at the city. â??[b]Anyway, go and get some rest or pout, which ever suits your mood. Just donâ??t go wandering around the city without telling me.[/b]â? Adrian stiffened, refusing to rise to the bait as he struggled to keep his anger in check. â??[b]You think it really is Shou.[/b]â? He stated flatly. â??[b]I do.[/b]â? â??[b]Why?[/b]â? â??[b]Weâ??ll discuss it once Gavrie returns.[/b]â? Karl ended the discussion. Adrian resisted the urge to destroy something. It was clear to him that Karl was done talking for now. With an inward groan he resigned himself to watching the city with Karl until Gavrie returned.[/font][/size][/color]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Allamorph][FONT=Arial']And here I was just letting him think he was being sly.[/FONT][/quote]He totally gave himself away by noticing Beth's funny mouse car picture. =P I just commented in this thread instead of the picture one.

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"][QUOTE=Affliction][FONT="Tahoma"]That is nearly half of the cost of what I had to pay for certain classes.

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]Hey there Chivahle, I'll be closing this since linking to illegally hosted copies of anime series is something we don't allow here at OtakuBoards. If you have any questions, just drop me a pm and I'll address them. ~Indi [B] Thread Closed[/B][/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]Yes Gavin, you really do need to stop lurking online 24/7. You have your goons at Wally World for that kind of deal. =P Anyway, I always turn my computer off if I'm going to be sleeping or gone. No point in leaving it on. Sometimes I leave and don't turn it off since I'm expecting to be back within fifteen minutes and end up gone for hours, but that doesn't happen very often.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]Well I'd kind of need a cell phone for that, but when I finally break down and get one, I don't plan on using it while driving. Nathan would never let me hear the end of it if I did. lol[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]Never seen Digimon, I totally swiped that from basement cat like Darren pointed out. And yes, you are definitely quite strange Korey, tis part of your charm. =P [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]Oh you know it Raiha, people don't pick their drinks based on taste or silly things like that. They only choose it based on someone else using it. Gotta love that kind of pointless assumption that people can't think for themselves. Seriously though, they really do need to just let this paticular story die already. No we don't need a point by point review of what happened. Let them have a brief chat and share a drink, [I]without[/I] the rest of the nation reviewing it. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]The joys of not being able to make a comment without this kind of reaction... Which is... [I]Welcome to having your every word and action examined to the point of stupidity![/I] In plainer words, yes following procedure is important and the police did so.

[FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"][quote name='Nathan][FONT="Arial"']And here I'm thinking I've seen something that talked about some kids, somewhere in the age range of about ten to fourteen, who sniffed lighter fluid to the point of exhilaration and intoxication. I can't recall if it was an article, or in a medical textbook. I don't think they actually drank it though.[/FONT][/quote]That's because you were looking over my shoulder when I looked up some of the older articles on general Psychology. =P I was looking at: Inhalation Psychosis and Related States. Mainly because reading this article here, had me thinking I had read something similar before. Anyway, considering what the kid was drinking, he's lucky he didn't end up dead. Though the resulting brain damage isn't much better. It's a shame really. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR="Indigo"][FONT="Arial"]Don't care for the taste. It's like drinking flavored water. Poorly flavored water at that. :p[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Indigo"][FONT="Arial"]I pretty much agree with the sentiment that banning bottled water from government meetings/buildings is fine. The other, I would find rather stupid. The few times I travel, I end up getting bottled water since other choices with carbonation, make me sick, literally. So no bottled water for trips, would a pain in the butt. [/FONT][/COLOR]
