[Quote=Venom]Soul Calibur 2* Kingdom Hearts* *thinking about selling[/quote] [Color=black][b][size=1]Guilty Gear huh. I'm really skeptical about those games because the last one I played, (I think Isuka) I didn't like the controls to it at all. In order to face your opponent you had to press the R1 or L1 buttons or something that. And that turned the whole thing off for me because I never got use to it.[/color][/b][/size] [quote name='Charles']As for Shadow of the Colossus--I've heard that it's going Greatest Hits soon. EB's site even made an error where they showed it with the packaging. So, I'd wait and see what happens with that. That's what I'm doing anyway. Otherwise, you may as well just rent it first since all you really do is explore on horseback and go through puzzle-like boss sequences. Judging by where your interests seem to lie, I don't know if that'd be for you.[/quote] [Color=black][b][size=1]Lol. While I do prefer hack 'n' slash type games, I do get curious once in a while, and want to check out other types of games, but they have to stike an interest 1st. SotC has struck that interest, I just never could find it in stores or on the shelves because it was always sold / rented out. I've rented, and beaten Kingdom Hearts 2 already, and felt no need to buy the game. (Guess it would've helped if I mentioned the games I've rented and beaten already as well.) Seeing that I'm a little lazy and don't feel like updating, I'll just post the games I've rented and / or beaten the game before. Kingdom Hearts 2 - beat it and done with it Indigo Prophecy - didn't beat, just couldn't get into it God of War - didn't beat, game froze and I didn't really care much for it, but I'll try it out again Prince of Persia 1 - didn't beat yet, pass 30 day limit at Block Buster Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams - didn't beat, trying to get my hands on it Tekken 5 - didn't really care for it Ultimate Spider-man - beat it I think that's all. Is Splinter Cell any good?[/color][/size][/b]

[color=black][b][size=1]I'm actually curious about Yakuza even though I have no idea why I thought it was coming out for the Xbox or Gamecube. I'm also curious and anxious to get my hands on Okami. Speaking of which, aren't they coming out next week or something like that? (I was told the release date before, I can't remember it though) Don't bite my head off for this, but I kind of thought GOW was a tad overrated, but that was about a year ago. I haven't actuallly played it since then. Perhaps it's time I give it another chance. And there is a typo in my list. Instead of DMC 3, I have the special edtion. (Not much of a typo, just thought I'd clear that up.) I completely forgot about Shadow of the Colossus. And then I wanted to ask about the 3rd installment of Prince of Persia. Was that any good? (Right now I'm after the 1st one.) Not too many people talk about it. I appreciate the fact y'all are naming cheap games btw. ^_^, I'm as cheap as they come. Thanks again.[/color][/b][/size]

[color=black][size=1][b]Dub. Not that I have anything against subtitles, I just prefer to understand what I'm hearing. I don't like reading while I'm trying to watch what's going on in any program. (Granted that I've never seen a subtitled anime, and really don't plan to either.)[/b][/size][/color]

[color=black][b][size=1]By all means. That was just the only picture I liked that I could find.[/color][/size][/b]

Cancelled. If a mod would be so kind to close this.

[color=black][size=1][b]1st I'll start with my lineup of games. (Well it's short stacked) Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 Devil May Cry 1 & 3 SE Gungrave: Overdose Virtua Fighter 4 Onimusha 1*(I hate it) & 3 Gran Turismo 3* DoA Hardcore The Bouncer* Final Fantasy X* Soul Calibur 2* Kingdom Hearts* Hyper Street Figher 2 Anniversary X-Men Legends *thinking about selling Ok. here's my current situation. My brother just recently sold his Xbox, and most of the games I liked was on that console. (Ninja Gaiden, Shenmue 2) Some people may think that's a good thing, but "shrugs" Fact remains, I liked it. But for quite some time now I've been growing tired of gaming in general. (I won't bore you with that, maybe you'll have a discussion about it someday. Until then, I won't go into details) Anyway, I'm looking for some games to get for the PS2 ONLY. I gave my older consoles to my nephew. And I don't own any portables, and I haven't planned on buying any consoles until the end of the year. I'm into the hack n slash type games the most, but at this point, I'm looking for anything that'll grasp my attention. I'm not really into the GTA's, Final Fantasys, Tekkens, Resident Evils (sorry fanboys, I'm just different that way.) and I don't play strategy or MMORPG's, (Sorry if I'm sounding picky) so if you would be so kind could not suggest those. So yeah. Into hack n slashes take anything except GTA, FF, RE, Tekken, strategy and MMORPG's. Only Ps2 games. Thanks in advance.[/b][/color][/size]

Let's see. I'm mainly into the action games. They're good stress relievers. You know the hack n slashes such as Devil May Cry 3, Ninja Gaiden (Black), and Onimusha 3. (Trying to get DoD) But sadly, those are the only ones I've been playing. I haven't came across any good ones lately. I'm not that fond of God of War. Whenever I feel like purchasing any more games, I'll probably get Samurai or Dynasty Warriors. I do play fighting games. But I haven't played any in a long time. Besides, the only fighting game(s) I enjoy is(are) the Dead or Alive series. And then there's the FPS. I don't play them occasionally, but if I don't find the action games to be doing anything to calm me down, I can always depend on a good round of Halo. (The only FPS game I have at the moment.) I don't care much for RPG's (or MMORPG's) but I do play FFVII and FFVIII from time to time when I need to kill a lot of time. What genre(s) would Shenmue and MGS fall under?

Just take your time with it. I'm in no hurry to see it. :animesmil Edit: Oh wow... That was faster than expected. Thanks a mil.

So I finished reading chapter 238 a while ago. While I understand the head captain's reasons for [spoiler]denying the pursuit of Inoue[/spoiler] and whatnot. I just wanted to slap him one good time if I saw him say "Unacceptable" one more time. Who'd have thought we'd see [spoiler]Kenpachi and Byakuya[/spoiler] together? Even though it was a brief moment, it was good to see them again. Although I would've liked to see a little force of action. (That's just me wanting to see another fight.)

[QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=RoyalBlue] The other is thunder storms. Although I love how lightening looks and enjoy watching a storm, it still frightens me. It?s a combination of the start of fear with the thrill of how beautiful it is. When I was a kid I would run to my parents room as I was beyond terrified. As an adult, I don?t feel the urge to run, but a bit of the fear is still there. I suppose the fact that three times lightening has struck the ground within one hundred feet of where I was standing has nothing to due with that fear. ^_~[/COLOR][/QUOTE] I use to fear thunder storms, but I don't really care about it too much nowdays. I think what I will always fear is tornadoes. I haven't experienced one, and I don't plan to do so either. I've had a lot of what I consider as close encounters as a kid, but always managed to get away from them just before a funnel cloud is spotted or before they ever touch down. It was like mother nature had a hit out on me when I always go with my family to some kind of park to go fishing. (hate fishing btw)

From ANN [b]Yuri Lowenthal[/b] as Keigo Asano Now it seems like they're unveilling names one by one. I didn't go into the name this time (kind of lazy at the moment), but isn't Yuri the VA that's voicing Sasuke in Naruto?

I'm starting to think I suck when it comes to finding images of certain folks from big time games, animes or whatever. (images come out blurry, small or can't find any at all) Anyways, I'd like a banner and avatar of Sephiroth. Theme: Creepy "shrugs" Background: hmm. A tough one. I'll let you decide Font style: something with a scary feeling. Text: Perish Size: Default Picture: [URL=http://www.arkady.org.uk/sephiroth/ac_sephiroth_800.jpg]Sephiroth[/URL] (I really wanted another picture since this one is all over the place) As for the avy. My name. Same font you use for the banner. Size: Default Dont have a specific image for this one.

Other than what I've just read from Raiyuu's description, I haven't heard much about this program. And it sounds very interesting as well. I would think there would be a lot more conversation about it. I'm sitting here downloading the theme songs as we speak. (trying to kill time and whatnot) And if I were to compare it to any other ninja anime..... Well, I'll compare it to the samurai animes I've seen, this seems to have more of a samurai feeling than most samurai animes that I've seen thus far. But that's just by judging from the music. In any case, I would like to hear more feedback about this program seeing that it's coming to IFC pretty soon. (Like, how's the fighting and whatnot. Other than Romeo & Juliet, are there any other comparison's?) Just no word when. [quote name='Raiyuu']At the same time, the elderly Shogun has two potential heirs, and decides to lift the peace treaty Hattori Hanzo has enforced between the two ninja clans.[/quote] Hattori Hanzo...... That name seems so familiar. I just can't place my finger on it. [quote name='r2vq']Sexual stimulating, violent, and unforgiving[/quote] Oh? Unforgiving? What do you mean? Something in it is going to piss me off? :nervous:

[quote name='Sandy']You must be new to the series if you aren't familiar with Malboros. Seriously, no spoiler tags needed, Malboros have appeared in every FF-game ever since the sixth. ;P[/quote] I guess you can say I'm fairly new. Only played FF7 and 8 ^^. But I only used spoiler tags because I saw tags around the GF's, but ok. I won't use tags around the monsters... I guess. [quote]Malboros are the cheapness materialized, yes, and their appearance still horrifies me. Their Bad Breath causes every status ailment in the book, so the only defence against them is to junction resistance to all statuses.[/quote] Agreed. And it's really crappy too because I don't ever get the initiative. Someone at another forum told me to do something with Quistis, but I forgot....

[QUOTE=Aaryanna][COLOR=SeaGreen]You guys are fast! I?m still on disk two shortly after you [spoiler]save the Garden from being destroyed by missiles.[/spoiler] So far I?ve been making a point to check every boss so I have around [spoiler] nine GF?s. Including one I got by solving a puzzle at the King?s Tomb before you attempt to assassinate the sorceress at the end of disk one. [/spoiler] My most recent acquisition was [spoiler]Leviathan though I?ve yet to actually see what he does when summoned. [/spoiler]I assume it?s normal that some of the GF?s seem to [spoiler] dislike each other? I?ve noticed that since Squall has had Shiva the whole time that his compatibility with Ifrit has dropped to zero. Are there any other GF?s who don?t get along like that? [/spoiler] Anyway, I suppose the most irritating aspect is trying to find the materials to upgrade your weapons. I don?t really use them a lot but I?d like to eventually have everyone upgraded. I guess I need to look online for help on that issue. [/COLOR][/QUOTE] Uhh.... I never noticed anything about GF's not liking each other. (And I've made it all the way to disc 4 back when I 1st had it, but started over because I was missing items) But yeah, I wouldn't really say that GF's don't like each other. It could be, but I don't know. But my question to you is how many times have you used Shiva with Squall and vice versa with Ifrit? I could be wrong about this, but I think if you neglect to use a GF, you would lose compatiblity with that GF. (If you think about it that way, it makes sense.) And as far as the item finding and whatnot. I think it is best to go searching online to find out the items you need. But if you have [spoiler]Diablos[/spoiler] and have learned the [spoiler]Mug ability[/spoiler], it'll make searching just a little easier. The reason I say a little easier is because most of the times, the enemies wants to be selfish and not give the items up. As I said, I started over because I missed out on a couple of items and I was already fighting [spoiler]Ultimecia (cheating heffa).[/spoiler] So I'm currently on disc 1, and just reaching the part where I get on the train for the 1st time. Question to anyone that's playing FFVIII. What do you think about the card game? For me, it's ok, but when you get to random rules, it's really tedious. To Dagger. You want a challenge. Stay in Esthar and walk around till you fight a giant plant like monster. It's called Malbaro or Mallboro or something like that. If you beat that thing without the assistance of [spoiler]Odin[/spoiler] let me know how you did it because that monster is the cheapest of cheapness, and till this day I still haven't been able to beat nor steal [spoiler]6 malboro tentacles[/spoiler] from them. To anyone that knows how to beat them things. Any tips? lol

[QUOTE=Tical Blue]Hey, everyone has their thing. Some peoples' thing is anime chicks. Deal wit it. Usually, fanservice through fighting is out-of-place and annoying. In that sense, a LOT of anime is just purely fanservice. I.E. Inu-yasha.[/QUOTE] Heh, I know everyone has their thing, and I respect that. Lets not turn this into a sarcastic session just because I question it. (please don't start the giant ego stuff) I don't understand what you mean by saying Inuyasha is purily fanservice. Elaborate. Edit: Ok, I'll take it back. As far as me hearing fanservice being mentioned in fighting. I'm assuming this because I heard it being mentioned in FFVII:AC. I assumed it was for the fighting or it's visuals.....

I'm assuming, by "fanservice" you mean staring at a animated female's body and vice versa with the male's body? Or something along those lines? Because I read some things where people call fighting fanservice as well. If it's not the latter, then I see no point in it. While there is no harm in it (atleast I don't think there is) it does not interest me at all. Staring, drooling over an animated character..... Is there really any point to that? But before I really jump the gun, maybe you should be a little clear in what fanservice is. Because I'm not too keen on the anime talk, and as I said, I've heard people mention "fanservice" in terms of fighting.

[QUOTE=Lunox][color=dimgray] @ Bullet: I'm not really into the Bleach anime, but aren't they just doing fillers so the manga can get ahead? Perhaps they're just waiting... [/color][/QUOTE] I heard they were doing that too. And I'm not sure how far the manga is from the anime either. I'd like to think they did enough fillers [spoiler]because I want to see Ichigo with his hollow mask on in color.[/spoiler] And I'm just hoping they would get it animated. I guess I'm so suspicious of it because of how RK turned out. I'm not sure why they never did animate the revenge arc, but they did about 27-30 filler episodes, and it's like they just gave up on it. I hope you're right though. I hope they're just waiting.

[quote name='queenbakura']They're going to show Yu-gi-oh Capsule Monsters in the fall. And on Adult Swim, Bleach and Basilisk will be on this fall, too.[/quote] Correction. It's Bleach and Trinity Blood that're going to be aired on Adult Swim. Basilisk will be aired on IFC along with Gunslinger Girl. (I think that's the name) I have no idea when they're set to be aired, but I'm looking forward to Basilisk because I hear it's a ninja type anime. While we're on the subject of Basilisk and Gunslinger Girl. What are these animes about. I don't hear much talk about them. Are they any good?

I can't speak about Hitsugaya's bankai, and I'm not particularly fond of him that much. (Nothing against him, but it's a fan crowd thing. It's nothing to worry about ^^) While I have been enjoying the last few chapters of Bleach, I wasn't really fond of chapter 237. I know there is always a big slow down after big fights, and you have to spend time on character development, thinking about the current situation, wondering what's gonna happen next type of stuff. Now I may have to read it again because it's hard to function and comprehend while being tired. (only got 4 hrs of sleep.... this heat is crappy) But nothing was really explain other than what's going on with Orihime. [spoiler]Other than her power, I'm still not sure why Aizen wants her.[/spoiler] They make you want to know more about the man of mystery. (Urahara) But again, they don't say nothing. Like I said, I probably have to re-read this chapter to see if I actually caught anything. And to go a little bit off-topic. (It's on topic, but it's with the anime / manga... bah. w/e) With the whole filler thing that's going on in Bleach.... I guess you can say Naruto as well. I'm starting to think they're going down the same road as Rurouni Kenshin. You know, the best arc not being animated. (I think that's the word I'm looking for) While I still think the best arc at this moment is the SS arc, I'd still like to know that the arrancar arc (just a made up name for this arc) is going to be animated.

I'm opposite of Indifference, so to speak. I don't enjoy the comedy genre of both anime and manga, but if it's in the specific genre I like (action) I may get a kick out of it. But more than likely, I never do unless it's actually funny. While I don't care for the comedy genre, my favorite genre is action. Also as Indifference stated, it's better to see it in motion, but sometimes I can actually picture the movements while just looking at a drawing, or rather I like to picture the movements that's suppose to be happening. (That's not coming out right, but I hope you get what I'm trying to say.) Bleach, Rurouni Kenshin, and Tenjho Tenge (not because of it's nudity, in fact I think it can still be good without it.) are a couple of my favorites.

I started taking karate at the age of 6. I think it was just your basic karate. Nothing too fancy. Just your basic punches and kicks, and learning how to block. Like Ezekiel, I moved around alot. 1st one I moved from was torn down. 2nd one I been to the instructor stopped showing up. (I'm assuming he was fired or something) 3rd type of martial arts was Shoto-kan. (I believe that was the name) I had to leave that one because the owner (not the teacher) was pretty shady. (Actually very shady) But anyways, I reached yellow belt status. Overall status. I would think I was a little higher because we normally had other schools to come to ours, and we had sparring sessions with them. (I never did know what school they were though) But I was put against a red belt. I don't know if he was taking it easy on me. I don't know if he had a case of bad luck, or whether luck was just on my side. I know I matched him if not beat him. Right after the class was over, I was told that the guy I took on had just reached his black belt status. So I'm wondering, what rank am I really? (I think all the bouncing around paid off) But right now. I am currently not in any martial arts. I haven't been back in it since the Shoto-kan classes. (9 years ago) I've been wanting to get back into it though, but the problem is that there isn't many adult classes here in Michigan, atleast I haven't came across them yet. And I've been a little picky. (Just a little bit) Because the main styles I've been wanting to take up is Wushu, Tae Kwan Do, and Jeet Kune Do, but as I said, I haven't came across any of those here in Michigan, let alone, Detroit.

Actually, I like that one a lot. I do find it kind of crappy that there are hardly any pictures of this anime on the internet. In any case. If you don't mind, would you make a matching avy? I think the left pic on the banner would do quite nicely as an avy. Thanks for the banner, and thanks in advance for the avy. That is if you do decide to make it. If you don't, thanks anyway. P.S. I bet we found the same pictures of Straight Cougar.

It's been a while since I've requested for something. In any case, I've been on a Straight Cougar kit as of late. So I want a set with him in. Problem is I found 2 pictures, but there small, and I don't like them. So feel free to use whatever picture you have of him. Background: Tough call. Something flashy. Text: Radical Good Speed Font: Whatever you think looks good with it. I guess that's all. If you don't or cannot find any pictures of Straight Cougar, then we'll have to go with Kazuma. Background: Something explosive (Trying to match their personalities with the background, so to speak) Text: Shell Bullet Font: Well go with a favorite I like. Cloisterblack Picture: [URL=http://www.animewallpapers.com/wallpapers/scryed/full_3_800.asp]SHELL BULLET[/URL] (I prefer to have a picture of him with his alter {is that how they spelled it} but if you can't find it, this'll do.)

[quote name='BK']The VAs for the female characters don't seem too bad. I can pretty much imagine for the most part them being able to pull the characters off. I'm a bit perplexed about Ishida...but i suppose we'll wait and see. And I happen to like Bosch's work but for Ichigo i guess i'll have to see, like I said for Ishida. Sucks you don't have one for Renji listed, I'm curious to know whos going to VA for him.[/quote] Yeah, I also like Bosch's work. (Granted that I've only heard him in Trigun, and random characters, and getting use to him as Renton) Only reason I can't picture him voicing as Ichigo at the moment is because I can't see Johnny doing anything serious. It will be interesting to see if he can pull it off though. I never seen the sub, so I don't know if Ichi's voice is suppose to be high or low, but when I read the manga, I normally picture him with the guy that did Yusuke's (Yu Yu Hakusho) voice. As far as Renji, I'm also wondering who they're going to get. I have a few ideas, but I won't get my hopes up.
