[size=1]You're not suppose to take any reviews seriously. [strike]at least not too seriously[/strike][/size] I also watched Feedback (their little internet streaming thingy thing) and Abbey seemed rather passionate about the game [series]. I don't know if I'd say she hasn't played it. Anyway, it's the story in particular that seems to have Xplay upset with the game lol. Reading/watching the review definately has me questioning a lot of things about that [i]story[/i]. Then again I have no rights to say much of anything considering I haven't played a single game in the series.

Surprised there's no topic on this already.

For decades, Samus Aran has been known as one of the first female protagonists in video games and one of the most enigmatic. Having traded her haunted past for the solitary life of a bounty hunter, Samus finally tells her own tale in this revealing, personal story of her failings, her flaws and ultimately her motivation. Metroid: Other M is an unprecedented collaboration that blends the slick, action-packed production of the world-renowned Team Ninja development team with the game design talents of the creators of the original Metroid. Metroid: Other M is a dramatic new direction for a legendary franchise and a bold new blend between cinematics, storytelling and the best in interactive entertainment.[/quote] I've never played the Metroid games and am not quite sure if I want to play this one just yet. (don't even own the Wii, what am I talking about) Team Ninja being onboard certainly made things look fairly interesting, but when watching videos of it I gradually lost interest in it. IGN: 8.5/10 Gamespot: 8.5/10 1 Up: B- [b]Xplay: 2/5[/b] I find the review Xplay gave the game rather interesting. [url="http://g4tv.com/games/wii/61992/Metroid-Other-M/review/"]Morgan Webb goes off[/url] (in the video that is... Well not really, I just like to exaggerate a lot ). The written review was done by Abbie Heppe and she's been getting all sorts of backlash for it. (Fans can be both funny and annoying... Got a little bit of both) Anyway, like I said, I'm not certain If I'm gonna attempt to play this, but I am curious about other input.

[quote name='#326' date='02 September 2010 - 08:02 AM' timestamp='1283428959' post='700146'] Are we all in agreement that Kisame is hardcore? Dude just let himself get eaten alive and exploded into a bubble of blood... like a zit made of guts or something lol. I was hoping the intel would get back to Madara undetected tbh because now it's a case of 'we know you know'. Like, if the scroll Gai grabbed was a decoy. Or if Kisame actually failed, but then due to no intel Madara assumes the worst and has Kabuto edo-tensei him and get the drop on the alliance in that way. Naruto and co. can probably hide somewhere else, but perhaps it's too late to change strategic plans between the [s]5 and Iron[/s] 6 nations for the most part? [/quote] Yessir. Jiraya went out in a similar faction and it ultimately made me respect him. While I've always liked and respected Kisame, he losing a lot of steam for me, but his end pushed him back up there for good characters.... If that made any sense at all.

[quote name='NeedMoarRope' date='02 September 2010 - 03:44 AM' timestamp='1283413452' post='700139'] [font="Comic Sans MS"]Whoa, hold on guys. We're missing the headline news here. It looks almost as if a woman is about to do something interesting in [b]Naruto[/b].[/font] [/quote] Interesting? Howso? Personally, I don't think she's capable of doing anything to be able to touch Madara. However, I will admit that I liked her more than majority of the other females in this series (except Samui and Mizukage... "coughs")

I meant the other filler after this one. Just for more convincing 288. [spoiler]The Final Trump Card! Ichigo, Towards the Decisive Battle[/spoiler] 289. [spoiler]Byakuya vs. Kenpachi?! The Melee Commences[/spoiler] 290. [spoiler]For the Sake of Justice?! The Man Who Deserted the Shinigami[/spoiler] Oh man, I may skip 290. [spoiler]I don't care nor need to see mr. buggy[/spoiler]

The way Kisame went out made me respect him a lot more but other than that I didn't think much of the chapter.

Regardless of how haxxed Aizen's bankai is I wanna see it. Bankai's are the main reason I keep coming back to Bleach and if I don't get them I'd be furious that I sat through all of this for nothing. (Especially with talk saying something on the lines of Shunsui going bankai would've beaten Aizen.. I read it on some forum... Not sure which one though) [img]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/157/bleach2e.th.jpg[/img] [img]http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/3609/bleachk.th.jpg[/img] Guess the images were too big to show the first time... Edit: Still going with my re-reading of the earlier chapters. Currently on chapter 244. Man, Chad and Ishida are truly some of the most boring characters. One thing I've been cracking up at is how just about every character talk like they're some sort of bad### when they're facing off against someone weaker than them, but when they face someone whose stronger than them they have this tight face. (Chad, Ishida, Rukia and Toushiro are the main culprits here) Edit 2: Spoilers weren't kidding when they said Aizen was talking a lot. I think I'm enjoying this chapter more than I really should. On the surface it's the same typical stuff that we've been seeing, but seeing Ichigo do the exact same thing Aizen does to others makes this really enjoyable. I think my only concern is that in the end Aizen is going to turn into one of them villains that whines after getting thrashed and make me lose all my respect I had for him.

At least you have an AC. In other news, I love NCIS, but USA network is making it very hard to care for it with them marathoning the same episodes over and over. I'd really like to see some 2009/2010 episodes. NCIS: LA will do as well.

Well, it's actually much needed right now considering we know his (shikai) weakness. I'm anticipating his bankai any moment now. I'm actually getting a little giddy just for thinking about it now, heh. Don't BS me Kubo. If Ichigo beat Aizen without revealing his bankai I'm gonna be extremely pissed.

[quote]Full Translation 508 How a shinobi dies [spoiler]Kisame lets out a shout as he removes the restraining device and uses the Mizurou no Jutsu (water prison) Everyone is flustered Within the water prison, Kisame does a Kuchiyose but is beginning to lose consciousness. From here, it's a flashback to when Kisame first met Itachi Kisame: (It's just as you said, Itachi-san) From today onwards, I'm the one who's going to be teamed with you. Once a Kirigakure (hidden mist) Seven Ninja Swordsman Hoshigaki Kisame... Pleased to make your acquaintance. Itachi listens silently In spite of this, Kisame continues smoothly: The feeling of having killed your kinsmen isn't quite something you can put in words, now is it~ Itachi: You've done your homework, haven't you. I can tell you intend to understand me better, but how about yourself? Coming here after getting lost in the mist... You're just a thug who hasn't decided where he wants to go. Am I wrong? Kisame props Samehada on Itachi's shoulder Kisame: Let me tell you something nice. This applies to the shark species too~~~ Sharks eat each other while in their mothers' stomachs. They kill their comrades. Henceforth, you are my comrade within Akatsuki. Please be on your guard. To me... Itachi's eyes are in Mangekyou-mode: Right back at you... Kisame unsheaths Samehada: Let's get along with each other so we won't end up as each other's final opponent. Itachi: Be prepared with the knowledge that the one person who got along with me, died a worthy death Kisame: In that case, that means neither of us are worthy humans, doesn't it? Itachi: No, we are not fish. We are humans. We do not know what kind of human we are until we taste our last. We are made to realise what we are at the time of our death. Don't you think death is like that? Back to the present time. The shark that was Kuchiyose-d is on a rampage. Kisame: (Itachi-san, it seems that I really am... Not a worthless human, huh?) The Kuchiyose-d shark eats Kisame. Everyone is dumbfounded Aoba: He was very much weakened. That was the path he tread knowing he couldn't escape from us. Yamato: To think that this was the way the mysterious individual Hoshigaki Kisame died... Bee's friend: Is he really dead? Samehada seems lonely Bee pets Samehada Naruto: But, he did it because he didn't want to give any information on his comrades to us, his enemies. Think about Nagato. Even within Akatsuki, there are people who act with their comrades in mind (dattebayo!) Guy: (placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder) He was remarkable, although he was an enemy! A shinobi's way of life is determined by the way he dies! Hoshigaki Kisame, I will never forget you for as long as I live! A seal is performed to validate the scroll containing the information. The booby trap is set off. A bunch of sharks appear. One of them holds the scroll in his mouth and heads to sea. Rain is falling in Amegakure (hidden rain) Madara sits on a rock by the water: Rinnegan... It looks like you aren't going to obediently tell me where you hid Nagato. Konan: I knew you would come to me. I've been waiting... To kill you Madara: You won't go easy on me just because we were once comrades... Great.[/spoiler][/quote] Interesting... That's all I can really say at the moment.

I can't picture Gavin quarping. Nah, from what I remember he started most of his posts with "Interesting. Most Interesting."

Haha, Gavin's one to talk. Although I was still fairly new around the time he was doing the same thing.

So I just saw the episode.... Pretty decent, although, I'd rather not see anymore undershots of Yammy. They did ruin the ending with that stupid tune though. But I guess it's okay because there was no singing this time. (Thank God) As for that filler preview, yeah, I'm skipping that one. On the bright side though, it's only 1 episode and then its back to canon material and then filler again.... I don't know when the filler's suppose to start again though.

[quote name='Cat' date='31 August 2010 - 01:25 PM' timestamp='1283275514' post='700075'] Well, you'll have me as more competition to your job seeking. [/quote] [strike]Crap[/strike] I like competition. Now I need everyone else to dropout.. "mwahaha" (Need an evil smiley quickly)

Even though I posted it I completely forgot about the fillers lol. I may check it out once the fighting gets underway just to see if they can top the animation quality in the last filler. (Something is terribly wrong when filler tops canon material in the animation department) I also tried watching the fillers with that Shusuke person, or rather I tried watching him and Ichigo fight.. Couldn't make it through it. I'm going to skip out on those fillers on [AS] as well.

I just started watching [b]Twelve Kingdoms[/b] which had a nice 1st episode. I think I'd like to see this dubbed. The girl comes off as annoying with all the questions, but I have to remember the situation that she's in lol. I have to treat her a little differently than the way I treat the guys because with my expectations I just want people to kick ### and take names. Ask questions later... I have a messed up philosophy lol. But for an older looking series I have to admit that it looks really good. Animation is nice and crisp. Can't say I expected to see that much blood in this series though, considering how I'm in the mindset of Moribito (there's no blood in Moribito as far as I can remember). Still, it's off to a pretty strong start. I'm also watching [b]Darker Than Black[/b]. Flashy colors and smooth animation, but then again I expect nothing less from BONES. I'm watching this one at FUNi's site so I get to see it dubbed . The voices sound great. The last time I saw this I watched up to the 5th episode, I think and stopped following for some reason. But hopefully I'll be able to continue with it. (Same with Baccano) I got some other stuff in my sig, but I haven't started with the ones not mentioned yet. (outside of YYH)

[quote name='Cat' date='31 August 2010 - 01:35 AM' timestamp='1283232923' post='700060'] Nope Nope, not going to do it. I want to be the first one to finish school in my family. I just need to manage my time better. It be a whole lot easier when my textbooks finally come. Then I wont have to go to the library at 7:00am to do papers. [/quote] Ah, Ouch... No wonder you're stressing. [size=1]Still, you have my support for dropping out . [strike]I encourage everyone to dropout so it'll make it easier for me to land a job.[/strike][/size] I got about 3 hours of sleep.... Man, summer is really trying to stick around even though it's near the end of the season.

[quote name='Cat' date='30 August 2010 - 07:14 PM' timestamp='1283210061' post='700041'] I'm so stressed out and its only been three days of classes. [/quote] Just drop out. School is overrated these days anyway

I couldn't stand Plus and Random. Same I was fairly decent with, but those other 2 (with Same on as well) OMG!!! Talk about a bunch of BS. But for the most part I pretty much go for a no-level game and spend majority of my time playing TT. Getting ahold of some of the best magics on the first disk (pretty much right at the beginning) makes the game a heckuva lot easier, especially if you're just looking to dominate everyone. Card Mod is definately nifty and cheap at the same time lol. 10 Holy Wars equal cheap for any boss. Oh yeah, I did manage to get Squall's Lionheart on the first disk as well by play TT. Very time consuming. Playing TT makes things fairly easy and cheap, but it also is a lot more fun to me that way. When it comes to RPG's I never look for bosses to give me a challenge lol. Anyway, I completely forgot about Excite QTE (I think that's the name of it) in [b]Shenmue[/b]. The one where you punching everything. That's also an addicting game. I went pretty long before I started messing up. Mainly when you have to push 3 buttons at the same time. As far as Blitzball goes, I hated that game with a passion. I can never get used to it. Granted I've only played FFX once, I did play that part twice... ARGH!!! Never again will I play it. I guess another part of the reason why I don't like it is because it's like Soccer and I hate that too.

I miss Matsuri. Considering that Matsuri's been saved in the present I've always thought she'd popped up soon. Funny thing is the way you feel about Amamiya is the same way I feel about Rukia. (They are fairly the same in a sense. Minus the "romance")
