[quote name='Cat' date='12 July 2010 - 10:15 PM' timestamp='1278987301' post='697211'] If your going to visit Arizona again I would suggest going to Flagstaff. Its nicer up there with more out doors activities. Phoenix is very congested right now. If you decide on Phoenix, you might want to make the trip in the winter and be a snow bird. The temperature is a bit cold in the mornings but warms up to be in the 70 and 80 during the day. Don't come to Tucson though cause you'll find nothing to do. At least with either Phoenix or Flagstaff there are lots of activities. [/quote] Yea, so I've heard. I think I'd really enjoy it there in the winter since I prefer snow compared to beaches. I'd like to attempt to snowboard at least once in my life. I'd like to visit Colorado in the winter as well...

The VB forum had some type of pop-up notification letting you know if you had some type of message/comment. Lately I've been getting comments and wouldn't even know it unless I check my email or would click on my own name (and with the way this computer is at the moment I can barely check anything... having to wait to at least 2-5 pm to check it at my school). And for a brief moment I could've sworn there were some type of pop-up here, unless I'm mistaking? But if we don't have one, thought about considering it? If we do, can you tell me how to turn that option on? I can't seem to find it in mysettings.

Wonderweiss is a huge step up from Aaroniero, who was so foolish that he let Rukia of all people beat him after he already had her beat. [/quote] I guess what I'm saying is because of the disappointment, and because Wonderweiss was [spoiler]made specifically for countering Yama-ji[/spoiler] he really don't need to be an espada. IMO, just being able to take out Ukitake ([spoiler]as well as doing Kensei in off screen[/spoiler]) the way he did puts him in a higher class than espada's 4 through 10. Might be higher than 2 and 3 as well.

Oh my. I never posted here. Obviously I'm from the U.S. Born and raised and still living in Detroit Michigan. Ghetto written all around me.. "coughs" Nah, people say Detroit's a nice place to stay, and honestly, I just don't believe that. (But I do believe if you can live here you can live just about anywhere) While Michigan is on the rebound for jobs and whatnot, we just don't have anything here to do, at least not as far as I can tell. We have a bunch of casino's which is not my scene, and we're known as Motown/Motor City (we're rebounding on that as well). We have the Pistons (who I can't stand for getting rid of Chauncey), Tigers (seem to be doing fairly decent) and Red Wings (I don't follow hockey at all). But that's about it. I've been to Sandusky Ohio to go to Cedar Point quite a few times. I forgot what part of Ohio Kings Island is in, but I've been there as well. I've also been to Chicago, Ill to go to Six Flags, and then Avondale Arizona was the latest place I've been recently 2 years ago. Lived there for a month. I was gonna go there for school but there was a big mishap and ended up going there for nothing, but I suppose that was a much needed getaway. As for out of the country, I've been to Canada and that was for Niagra Falls and Wonderland (I really need to go back there) That's probably as far out of the country I'll ever go. Other places I'd liked to visit would probably be California, New York (Probably not New York City), Philidelphia and probably another part of Arizona, perhaps either Phoenix or Flagstaff.

I'm one of those that started playing Zelda when OoT came out, and I admit that I was iffy about WW when I first saw it. Not because of the cell-shaded graphics (I love cell-shaded graphics. Dragon Quest 8, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, DBZ: Budokai), but because of the quirky look. I'm a shady guy that will judge a game based on looks in a heartbeat... Eventually I did try it out though, and while I don't think the game was bad, I did lose interest before even reaching the 3rd dungeon because of the OoT gameplay formula. There's only so much repetitive gameplay I can take. (which is interesting because I'm not tired of DMC lol)

[quote name='Gavin' date='10 July 2010 - 08:22 PM' timestamp='1278807769' post='697077'] [font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Given that DBZ was the first anime I followed seriously I've been waiting to see how the (re)dub would be handled. Quite happy to see so many of the old cast return although I'm curious to see how the new Gohan will work out (if any of them needed changing it was Cell Saga Gohan). I am very disappointed however we're not going to have Bruce Faulkoner's music this time around, as personally I thought his work far exceeded the originals. [/size][/font] [/quote] I'm not really sold on Gohan's voice actor. Sounds like the same person that's voicing Luffy in One Piece and I don't care for her work in that. The Ginuy Force... outside of Ginyu himself I didn't really care for them. I liked Jeice's old rock and roll type voice over this one. Yeah, the music in Kai is definately lacking compared to Mr. Bruce's work. Nothing really seem epic anymore.

[quote name='Humaru' date='11 July 2010 - 05:27 PM' timestamp='1278883676' post='697120'] Gavin...You're right about Wonderweiss...he is a pretty powerful little kid. Its always the weirdos that have the most power. Aizen should have made him an espada....he is way better than espada numbers 7,8, and 9. I mean, he gave Luppi an espada promotion...how hard could it be to become one. Obviously being weak is okay. [/quote] Outside of Ulquiorra's, Grimmjow's and maybe Nnoitra's performance would you really want to see Wonderweiss ranked as an espada? [spoiler]Considering everyone else's lackluster performance[/spoiler].

[quote name='eleanor' date='10 July 2010 - 12:34 PM' timestamp='1278779688' post='697044'] not as hypnotic as this [img]http://i26.tinypic.com/2rhsmyw.jpg[/img] [/quote] That's just creepy. I'd probably have nightmares about that if I were younger...

[b]Hajime no Ippo[/b] Despite my utter disappointment in New Challenger, there's no denying that the first season was a masterpiece. Although, I've only been watching it for the fights at the moment. I will watch it for the workouts and characterization as well. This series can be inspiration especially when it comes to working out.

[quote name='Molleta' date='09 July 2010 - 12:11 PM' timestamp='1278691916' post='696981'] [color="#2E8B57"]I'm not a fan of watching people get dunked on. It's not that exciting for me. I prefer basketball as a game of strategy. Offense testing defense, defense pressing offense. Basketball is a game of motion and speed and occassional power.[/color][/quote] Touchè (stupid code thingies)

[quote name='CaNz' date='09 July 2010 - 06:11 AM' timestamp='1278670290' post='696975'] basket ball just happened to be one that the i tried because a movie clouded my better judgment. [/quote] And this is why I'm laughing at you. Don't sweat it though. Sports aren't for everyone. While I've tried out for both football and basketball, I never stuck with them because I hated being penalized for other peoples mishaps. I used to be really good in basketball, but not playing for about 8 years and then trying to come back to it you realize how much you can suck lol. Football on the otherhand, if you can run you know how to play football.. That's my philosphy on it. (If you ever played tag you know how to play football.. No excuse for that one) [quote name='Korey']Although I really don't think that three superstars a team doth makes. It works for the Celtics because they have a good chemistry and seasoned veterans that are capable of facilitating each other. KG's having a bad game? Ok, we still have Rondo, Pierce, Ray Allen and Rasheed Wallace. Who do you have when LeBron is having a bad game? :3 [/quote] Exactly, although, now Miami is looking for vets that wanna fill in the void, so it could work out. I still like the idea of LeBron going to Chicago though because I don't know who they can get as a Center, and I'm not sure who Mario Chalmers is so another PG would be needed, and I don't know who they could get for that either.

[quote name='CaNz' date='09 July 2010 - 05:54 AM' timestamp='1278669274' post='696973'] (i tried out for basketball because of it, then realized i sucked a lot) [/quote] Ah now I see.

[quote name='CaNz' date='09 July 2010 - 05:00 AM' timestamp='1278666025' post='696969'] the best kind of basket ball my friend.... the best [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Jam"]kind[/url] [/quote] I'm aware of the movie, but I can't call that basketball. Entertainment for nostalgic purposes maybe, but basketball.... I beg to differ. I want to see people get dunked on. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlrbJ6oG7OM[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmLSOo7anxY[/media] The sports announcer/caster guys just makes it sound so much better when people get dunked on too. And then the anticipating moments of the final seconds of a tied game in the last quarter. That's basketball, to me anyway. I will admit that basketball hasn't been up to snuff lately though.

I don't know, I didn't really care for any of the fights in Soul Society when actually watching it (outside of a couple). Reading it was far more exciting. I'm a huge animation/artwork buff and I felt the SS fights were lacking in both intensity as well as that fast pace movement I enjoy to see. I was so disappointed when I first saw Byakuya run towards Ichigo... (Yoruichi vs Soifon was definately the most disappointing considering they kept slowing crap down) Ulquiorra vs Ichigo round 2 had everything I was looking for and it kept the nice character models so it earned extra points. As for Segunda Etapa.... Let me first start by saying I enjoy seeing one-sided beatings from cool characters.. (I also like to see toe-to-toe fights as well) The deus ex from Ichigo was indeed a disappointment. I believe everybody agrees with that. [spoiler]That was also the start of the initial disappointment for the remaining espada[/spoiler]. But the fight itself (the actual sword/lance fighting) was entertaining. The talk of despair, (I really don't know how you take in your info) I take that as part of Ulquiorra's character development because if you noticed he didn't exactly get a flashback so you have to take whatever you can get. Wanting Ichigo to act human and give in to fear and surrender and whatnot. But that's just my take on it. Edit: For the latest episode, it was pretty good up until [spoiler]the Vaizards showed up[/spoiler]. Seriously, did they really need to show recaps? I know it's been a long time since they were shown, but what was the point of that? Everyone know who they are because I'm certain everyone was thinking the same thing, [spoiler]"when are these people going to show up?"[/spoiler] This stalling is bothersome.

Space Jam was basketball? O_o

[quote name='Cat' date='08 July 2010 - 09:53 PM' timestamp='1278640409' post='696941'] For the basketball people, LeBron finally decided where hes going, according to yahoo news. Read full article [url="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100709/ap_on_sp_bk_ne/bkn_lebron_s_decision_14"]here[/url], don't want to spoil it for you. [/quote] [quote name='Botar' date='08 July 2010 - 09:57 PM' timestamp='1278640646' post='696942'] Miami, really? *shotgun to the mouth* [/quote] I hear Cleveland went ballistic last night. Burning James jersey, and the owner pretty much just went off. I do feel sorry for Cleveland. I don't think he should've went on tv to do that. That's like "POW" to anything on your body that's sensitive. I just hope it don't lead to anything crazy. (death threats, threats against family) Like I said though, I don't care what he do, although I do think I probably would've preferred to see him go to Chicago over Miami in a way.. Considering how many great teams there are in the west (last couple of seasons, if I'm not mistaken, almost the whole western conference had records that could've exceeded the entire eastern conference outside of maybe the top 3) I would like to see more competitive teams on the east. "shrugs" oh well, ought to be an interesting season coming up.

[quote name='Botar' date='08 July 2010 - 02:33 PM' timestamp='1278614017' post='696898'] Yeah, if I'm up to date, which I'm probably not, he's still a free agent. And isn't he going to say which team he's on tonight? Edit: Oh, and yeah, I'm a pissed off Ohio fan. [/quote] Yep, suppose to be announced tonight. As a LeBron fan, I don't really care what he do I just hope the guy can get a championship in the process. Hopefully he won't let his ego get in the way of anything though. Its when people start thinking too highly of themselves that gets to me. But I suppose I can feel your pain though since Ohio really don't have much of anything... If it makes you feel any better us Detroiters suck just as badly lol.

[quote name='CaNz' date='08 July 2010 - 01:46 PM' timestamp='1278611175' post='696890'] well.. he did ask nicely! commmooonn! you know you want another mod pal! [/quote] Negative. I'm not asking. (Magus don't ask to offer his service.. I'm just easy to be peer pressured) It's more like, if they need/want my help they'll ask for it. (even though it's coming out entirely different lol, my wording sucks) Edit: I know there aren't many people that follow the NBA, but I'm curious about how all this LeBron jazz is going to play out. I know Ohio fans are gonna be pissed off forever at James.. If I were in his shoes I'd leave too, but this 1 hour special is ridiculous.

[quote name='Korey' date='08 July 2010 - 09:02 AM' timestamp='1278594138' post='696879'] [size="2"][font="Garamond"]It'd be nice to have ya back though, my man [/font][/size] [/quote] If James and Des wants me to [strike]massacre[/strike] look over the good members again, I'm up for it. Until then though, I'll be hurled up in a corner doing homework and stuff. [quote name='CaNz' date='08 July 2010 - 10:35 AM' timestamp='1278599702' post='696882'] sheeesh.. get a room you mods!([i]and ex mods and site managers!)[/i] =P [/quote] Haha, that brings back some fond/weird memories that went on in the staff area. Multiquote... is... good..

I think the closest thing I've been to that I'd consider a convention is the Auto Show. (And I don't go there any more... Our scene is too fight/shooting happy) I'd like to maybe attend E3 one day, but I have to live in Cali for that. Conventions in general though, I wouldn't know what to bring... All I'd really bring would be identification and money and maybe a phone just incase of an emergency.

[quote name='CaNz' date='08 July 2010 - 07:32 AM' timestamp='1278588779' post='696871'] well... maybe your not a mod now because of your ideas like that one... [spoiler]([u][font="Garamond"][size="1"][i]its a conspiracy![/i][/size][/font][/u])[/spoiler] [/quote] Heh. What's wrong with being a little devious at times? "coughs" But if you must know I stepped down because at the time I was relocating for school (complete waste of time and money) and didn't know when, or if I'd be able to get back online, or get to a computer for that matter. As for now, I don't think they need my help.

So I finished my "no alert" run for [b]Metal Gear Solid 3[/b]. Finally able to obtain stealth camo... Well, I had it on subsistence and that was going the route of shooting the 64 frogs... Now that I've done "no alerts" though, I have to admit that it is definately easier and less tedious than trying to pinpoint them frogs. I also ended up getting the hang of CQC, especially against Volgin and The Boss... If I play on normal I'm pretty much expecting a hard challenge considering I'm not good in this game lol, but I still enjoy it. All that's left to do now is catch that weird snake thingy. [quote name='Miss Anonymous']I also started Okami, but I haven't left Kamiki village yet, so I still have a lot to go. But it's quite fun; the controls are very easy to use and quite fun at that. I'm looking forward to playing more... eventually. 8D;;[/quote] It's definately a great game, but hopefully you don't run into the issue I ran into. Dragginess.
