[quote name='James' timestamp='1297039422' post='704738'] [font=palatino linotype]The part where I had the most trouble was, I think, the Horizon mission (where you first fight the Collectors and that big hovering bug thingy). That was kind of painful. My squad mates kept dying and in the end I just went it alone until they got resurrected by default. [/font] [/quote] Same spot for me except it was me that kept dying instead of my squad. Stupid Husks or whatever they are kept running up on me while I was trying to take out the bigger things. This was also the stage where I really found out that you pretty much have to use your abilities as well since I went through majority of the earlier parts of the game without the need of any abilities.

I just wanna scream at the top of my lungs "F-U PITSBURGH" but seeing how I'm not watching the game and probably will end up going to bed before finding out the outcome, I have no right to say it.

I also think the combat in ME2 is better but I prefer the combat in ME1. This might be because I'm still not used to the aggressiveness in ME2 and prefer to just dominate enemies. (Seriously, I've never had such a hard time playing a shooter on its easiest difficulty) Admittedly, though, I might have to up the difficulty since Garrus is stealing my kills in ME1. The guy is too much of a beast with the assault rifle.

Haven't had this kind of thread pop up in a while. A straight-forward question. Whether it's the story or gameplay, heck it can even be for looking at the pretty graphics, what is it that you're looking for in your games? I'll come back with mine in a bit.

[quote name='Pioneer' timestamp='1296940257' post='704716'] hey im all for veggies! plus the fact that im riding (sometimes sprinting) my bicycle to the train station is good enough considering i can be lazy. but the trains thats where the problems start, people with bad manners just coughing away without covering their mouth (or even trying). i can remember myself thinking "yup im gonna get sick because of bad manners some day." that very day has arrived! *pom pom POOOOOM* *dramatic reverb* ps: So as long as youre not taking the train to the taco bell you should be just fine :P [/quote] Aww.. That sucks. I know it's not nice, to make matters worse they're sick, but I'd punch them in the throat if they were to cough on me. If I were to get sick I'd come back with a vengeance and sneeze on just about everyone.

[quote name='Pioneer' timestamp='1296939080' post='704713'] bah, sick again... i've always thought that after being sick youre immune system would get a temp xp boost.. there goes my theory however... maybe after being sick 2 times in a row my immune system wil get even better-er-er for a while [/quote] Eat more veggies and do more cardio workouts. I hear they suppose to boost your immune system (along with metabolism and stuff). I should be working out right now especially since I'm considering eating some taco bell tonight.

I'ma go the corny route this time around. [b]What is it?[/b] Otakuboards [b]Why is it nifty?[/b] Name another anime board that have members that're easy to get along with and you don't have to worry about some fanboy/girl biting your head off. You show me a board that's better and I'll show you someone that's full of ####. Folks here are easy to talk to whether they're old or new, up in age or one of them young thundercats and everyone has their own little quirky-ness about them and people are actually funny. (It really started to show in the Podcast though)

Aww, White, you rock but you messed up at the same time. This thread is really begging for me to be random right now. But first we'll get the instant classics out the way. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=375ENQbru8s[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bojx9BDpJks[/media] TMNT was what started it all for me so, yes they need to be mentioned, though I have to admit that listening to it now, while it still has some charm to it, it's kind of corny lol. And now we point out some of my favorites that I act random with. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0KOfTV1dbc[/media] Hmm... Maybe I should put Zeo (GOOOO ZEEEEOOOO) up here as well since that was just as epic. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnsHpPNltBw[/media] Don't you dare judge me. I hate the show but the song was catchy. And yes the little girl is Fergie (Fergallicous).... I feel like I'm echoing myself.

Agreed. Honestly, outside of Naruto's stupidity, I've really enjoyed this arc. The pacing of fights are going by pretty quickly. Almost too quickly. I almost caught myself saying that the fight between Kankuro's squad and Sasori/Deidara was disappointing because it ended fast, but truthfully, when fighting in a war, chapters shouldn't be lasting 5-7 chapters. Comparing this to Basilisk which pretty much was a war from beginning to end and pretty much all of the fights lasted only 1-2 chapters and it was still great. Psyren's (despite it's rushed ending) fights went at a fast pace and it turned out to be really good. It's just too bad that Japan would rather take stuff with people who're idiots over people that actually think. As for this weeks chapter. I've already expressed my opinion about Kumogakure, but Darui deserves to be talked about now, especially with that Black Lightning technique. I've always thought he was an interesting character since his clash with Taka. He seems like a black version of Kakashi in terms of personality, and to be honest, I think I'm liking him more than Kakashi (Of course nobody surpasses Itachi but Kakashi was 3rd favorite). I'm really anxious to see more of what this guy can do. I'm not confident in Kankuro's ability to take on Chiyo but then again there is a "what-if" factor coming into play here. With Kankuro having Sasori's puppet body, do he still retain everything that puppet was capable of doing? (Summoning 100 more puppets for instance) I'm looking forward to seeing Gaara and his father seeing each other.

x_x I will never watch another Evangelion product again. Anyway [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5I2IvKTx-Q[/media]

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR6iYWJxHqs[/media] I don't listen to the radio so I'm just now finding out about this guy.

You know, it's pretty hard to contain ones laughter while other people are laughing while Korey is reading. moletta's mic sounded a bit muffled. "They have sensors in their thing" Lol What?! Uncensored version. Nice.

[quote name='Gavin' timestamp='1296724266' post='704659'][font="Tahoma"][size="2"]One of Bleach's biggest problems has always been it has a huge amount of secondary characters who lack development, and now that the Aizen storyline is finished it would've been the perfect opportunity to take all those characters and flesh them out a bit more leading to the Royal Guard arc. I mean obviously, if Aizen can get perilously close to actually creating the King's Key, only to be stopped by a very short margin and a power-up of godlike levels for Ichigo, then someone upstairs should notice. Have Hikifune return bearing a message from the Soul King saying that for its failure Soul Society and the current Shinigami are to be cleansed (because they like the death penalty and it would make an interesting twist) thereby forcing Ichigo to try to regain his powers to save everyone. No need to introduce the Fullbringers and their BS, Chad can have been sent to Hueco Mundo, given the nature of his powers its to his own benefit to develop and be just returning as the plot kicks off.[/size][/font] [/quote] The killing part is I usually don't have a problem with the development of Bleach's secondary characters. As long as they were awesome it didn't matter to me (my issue was how they went out). Now that we're into this arc I find myself caring about that stuff more and more as of late. Hell, I didn't care for plot until this giant hole. I just knew we were going to get those answers or see how everything fell into place when Aizen was defeated. Kubo usually reveals the plot when it comes to Aizen (oh how the plot just fell into place when he betrayed SS and it was great). Anyway, now I'm just repeating what I've already ranted about.

([size=1]I'm getting flak for not liking this so I'm about to go on a rant. You've been warned. Might even see some language I haven't used in a long time[/size]). I agree with everything Gavin said, but while he wants to know that, I want to know how Aizen knew about Ichigo from the beginning. I want to know how Isshin fits into all that and why no one else knew about Isshin except Aizen, which might be coming soon or later but, honestly, my patience has pretty much ran out. How the hell did Aizen get Ulquiorra to join him? Basically everything I want to know revolves around Aizen and yet there's this big ass void stretching from the end of the last arc to the bullshit I've been seeing in this arc. The only thing I've found interesting with this arc is the conversation between the new guy and Ichigo. This dollhouse, Mr. Piggy and the rest of these new characters pisses me off as well. Originally I thought the guy with the hat was interesting or going to be, but that interest diminished as soon as he opened his mouth. Riruka is definately another Hiyori which is quite annoying (I didn't like Hiyori either) because all I've seen from her is a bunch of yelling and blushing. How people can excuse this and continuously come up with excuse after excuse for Kubo with bullshit is beyond me. How patient must one continue to be to get these answers? 6 months? Outside of fanboys, who the hell is going to do that? Hell, I don't even know if I can edge out 3 let alone 2. [strike][size=1]I have no issues with people liking this arc whatsoever. Continue doing so, but stop assuming that if I don't like this arc it's because I miss the action.[/size][/strike] Had to get that off my chest. With that being said, no I didn't like this chapter either. (I'm probably banned already from this other place)

That might be it. I know I only watch these type of shows only for the auditions.

Why the hell am I watching American Idol? I hate this show and yet I keep turning my head to watch it.

[quote name='CaNz' timestamp='1296684296' post='704639'] Me too! [/quote] If I ever see a guy doing that up close I'm kicking him in the throat.

Typing one handed feels funny. Messed up my wrist this morning (I forgot) and went to go shovel more snow.

I went back to playing the 1st [b]Mass Effect[/b]. Actually, I have 2 playthroughs going on. I'm replaying as my first Shep to make him a renegade, and then my other Shep is being played is a soldier. 1 thing I already see different is the consort. [spoiler]I had no idea you could sleep with her. Going the renegade route, admittedly I was curious to see if I could do the same with Emily[/spoiler] "coughs".
