[quote name='Gavin' timestamp='1296568197' post='704585'] [font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Ugh, yet another new training arc. Riruka is a dumbass who's even less likeable than all of the other girls with a crush on Ichigo. I seriously worry how long this arc is going to take to either make sense or introduce anything even vaguely related to advancing a plot outside of "Ichigo gets new powahs". Spoilers tomorrow better thrill me or I'm considering dropping Bleach for a few months, even Kishi with all his Uchiha-wank at least know how to create some interest for a while.[/size][/font] [/quote] Hey, I'm doing that with One Piece and am very tempted to do that with this as well, especially seeing that Ichigo's training in a dollhouse.

[quote name='Yukazi' timestamp='1296534918' post='704578'] Indiana thanks you for your snow.. it's always your fault Michigan! D:< [/quote] Not this time. It's coming from the southwest of us so we're getting your snow.

Hot damn I'm slow. I'm thinking that was James as in the one who has the power to ban and laugh in your face with no remorse. I should've known something was up when everyone was talking about cosplay because I didn't think James watched anime outside of Evangelion.

[b]Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex[/b] deserves to be mentioned as well and I can't believe I didn't mention it before, especially with someone mentioning Moribito (same creator and stuff). The Major is a target for fanservice because she don't believe in wearing pants, however, there are only a few instances where fanservice seemed to be there for no reason at all, but it's hardly an issue in this series despite her dressing pretty skimpy. I'm one that hates fanservice and am easily turned off by it, and what little fanservice there is in Stand Alone Complex is can be overlooked since it's so small. Not to mention that the closer you get to the end of the season the more covered she is. 2nd GIG she's completely covered. The story will probably draw you in more than the action, if you can actually figure the story out (That's probably the fun part of it.. I'm not a person that really care for story either but if it draws me in then it's probably good lol). I'm still trying to figure the story out and it's been almost 6 years I think since I first saw it. You might see a couple of kiddies here and there but there are no kiddy stars in this (Thank God. I'm sick of anime that have kiddies and teens as the main character) and the characters in this series are smart.

Bringing this back again [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67iNkmENs9k&feature=related[/media] Going old school now. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVsigkUmvy8[/media] Stupid Blockbuster won't put this in their backlog of movies for nothing. I've been trying to get my hands on this for a long time now. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MNkrxTLIjw[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNlzU5MKcWY[/media] That's it for now.

So we have a winter storm watch that'll be in effect for probably Tuesday night into Wednesday. I take a look at what the storm prediction center site thingy says and wow, they're predicting anywhere between 5-9 (perhaps more) inches of snow Tuesday night alone with an additional 3-5 inches on Wednesday. I think it's been quite some time since Detroit's seen a foot of snow. Ahhhhh, I want to learn how to snowboard now.

Yep. I'm just going to assume you've seen everything lol.

Kekkaishi. Can't get into that series for nothing.

[quote name='Felix the Cat' timestamp='1296324572' post='704512'] Me, I'm just nice ol' grouchy cat :3 [/quote] Nice and grouchy.... I'm pretty certain the last grouchy person I came across I wanted to take a hammer to their head. (I was about 14 around that time so I don't think like that anymore. "coughs") The only reason I didn't was because I'm a goody-goody and she was fairly past 60 and she was a she.

[quote name='CaNz' timestamp='1296298450' post='704502']no weapon upgrades this time, the upgrading for weapons is done in the lab room. you can both buy and find them and you can then apply the upgrades when you have enough minerals. (you can never have enough platinum.... never) and as for ammo, as you probably saw with Jacob it is a personal ability. Also you can upgrade your armor slightly when you have the pieces in your captains quarters. [/quote] Those are more like what I was talking about but still not answered completely. (I know auto level lol) Applying the upgrades is the confusing part. I found some parts and then I talked to some of my squad for upgrades as well but I don't know when or how the upgrades are applied. I just beat the Horizon mission after dying about 5-6 times. Turns out I brought the wrong person along for the mission (Jack) and didn't start using my abilities until now. Not to mention that I only have 1 save file (Now I see the reason why people have multiple save files. Doesn't mean I'm gonna start doing that though). I was on the verge of starting over. Still thinking about it to be honest since I wanna know if I would've had an easier time bring someone else alone instead of Jack. I was also beginning to have the thought of trading the game in (it's time for another game anyway) since I'm having a lot more issues with this game than I had with the first one. Anyway, the ability to slow down time worked wonders on that giant bug-thingy.

"Who would be your Bond girl?" "Shinmaru" LOL!!! "Adam annoys me a lot more than you do" Ouch. "[Some year] Camry" "Why don't you go for a real car?" Boo, you are wild. "Whatever happened to the 85 Japan's?" Lol Nice podcast. Edit: Oh yeah. I was not expecting James to sound the way he do. Blame Boo and Korey. I wasn't expecting perfect english. XD

[size=1]A little more of an update. This game can get pretty overwhelming at times. I wish they'd left the destination on the compass was still there, but at the same time I am digging the compass map here as well. I just liked how it was used in the first one. I'm going to start my game over because I'm so used to playing as a vangaurd and right now my Shepard is a soldier, and wow, I'm playing on the easiest difficulty and while I haven't had a gameover these folks are putting up quite the challenge. I did manage to recruit both Mordin and Archangel [spoiler](I was not expecting to see Garrus so soon, but I'm glad I got to see him again though)[/spoiler].[/size] Another update. I got all the way up to Horizon and my goodness. I don't know if it's my squad or me just playing as a soldier so terribly but that stage ramped up the difficulty big time. I'm playing on casual and wow, these folks are certainly way more agressive than they were on ME1. I've died 3 times now and still having issues waiting for this tower to charge or something. I'm also having issues with trying to understand how the upgrades work. Is it automatic or something? I know I've seen a couple of upgrades for weapons and haven't seen a way to improve them.

[quote name='Shinmaru' timestamp='1296160462' post='704445']Also have to throw a shout out to [b]Monster[/b]. It's relatively lengthy for anime (74 episodes), and it's slowly paced, but the story and characters are fantastic. The dub is pretty good, too -- I don't think it's necessarily better acted than the Japanese, but it feels more natural to me because the show isn't set in Japan. [/quote] Can't believe I forgot about Black Lagoon. A warning though. If you're easily offended by anything don't watch because Black Lagoon pulls no punches. In any case, if you check out Monster and like it, you may want to check out [b]Death Note[/b] as well. I hear people that like Death Note usually like Monster. I'm of the weird species though since I can't get into Monster.

I still remember playing Tales of the Abyss that time I had it. [spoiler]Legretta practically made me her whipping boy. She scarred me for life. Toughest female I've ever faced in a game[/spoiler]. I'm playing [b]Mass Effect 2[/b]. Kinda getting used to it but I do hate the hacking mini-game on this one. Actually, both of those hacking mini-games are rather tedious especially when your tv is on the small side and you have to get up close to your screen to see everything. I did find a remedy to that but at the same time I still need a new tv.

That's just nasty. Both are horrible things to do. I think I'd drop dead before attempting to do either.

That's true and to be honest, I like that too (I'm weird) but at the same time I still understand what they say (Bone Thugs n Harmony). It'll take me a few months to actually hear it but I still catch on quicker than the slower rappers for some reason. I was watching Lopez Tonight last night. I don't watch talk shows often but he had Kevin Hart on their and I had nothing better to do so I checked it out, and, well here; [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgV1iLawjs0[/media] I was in tears.

Alright, so I recently beat Mass Effect 1 and am jumping right into 2 now and first impressions, while I haven't been blown away I have to say that I like Miranda and Jacob so far, especially Miranda. She's a ##### of course but I like tough women so yeah. Couple of negatives with the game so far though. I think I had the same issue in ME1 as well. My tv is not big. It's a 20" and the words are so small. They're even smaller than what I saw in ME1, and they're yellow which makes it even harder to see at times. I have to play upclose on my tv at times during conversations and it's a bit annoying. The other thing, while it's not a negative, but I don't think I'll like it too much is the level up. It's probably more like getting used to but I liked the lieveling in ME1 more. It seems like I have to save points to put into skills and I don't like that idea at all.

If you can come up with a better name please do so I can have someone change the title. I got the idea from an article I was reading on IGN. They were talking about why most superhero/movie based games never work. The writer went on about what he/she'd think could work in those type of games and then I went on to read some of the comments... (I really need to stop reading them since most of them just ##### a lot) One person mentioned they'd like to see an X-Men game that has a similar style of play to Mass Effect (I'd like to see that as well) What are some games you wish would be tried in a different genre/style? For instance; I'd like to see a Final Fantasy game play like a Metal Gear Solid game. I don't know how that would work but I'd like to see anyway lol. Let Kojima get his hands on that game I bet he'd work some magic.

Hmm... Check out Busta Rhymes Break Ya Neck since that's the song he's using. I want to say they're going the same speed. But yeah, I agree nevertheless

Ok, my dad looks at our local news every single day and I hate it but last night when he had it on they were talking about this guy [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzA1foR6gTw&feature=related[/media] Consider me impressed because I always like songs that got a fast flow And then I went onto see a little more of this guy's vids and came across this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GvTLfV8fls&feature=related[/media] Where the hell did this guy come from? He's good.

Yes you have.

You're not suppose to enjoy school. You're suppose to hate it and drop out.
