Edit: Okay, finally saw gameplay footage of both Gears of War 3 and Metroid: The Other M (How the heck did I get this mixed up with Zelda is still beyond me...) Gears of War 3 looks pretty good even though it still looks the same as Gears of War 2. If I play FPS's it's mainly for the single player experience, so of course I'm a little disappointed to not see more story footage but, I guess I can't be too greedy lol. The Other M... I'm a little split. I like the look of the game, but I'm not so sure I like how the gameplay is being handled at the moment. (I keep forgetting that you can use the Gamecube controller and whatnot) But I'd probably blame the person who was playing the game. But still, point and shoot, I'd much rather see that in FPV because with it being like the way it is now and knowing Team Ninja's history with horrible camera angles would probably make me not want to try the game out. Oh yeah, Goldeneye remake. I'm also iffy on that.. Visually speaking, it looks terrible, but actual gameplay, I am a little interested. Too bad there's no Pierce Brosnan (sp?)

[quote name='Shy' date='17 June 2010 - 02:26 PM' timestamp='1276799205' post='695477'] [list][*]I say that we don't bother with an anime thread listing anymore. I think limiting all discussion on certain popular series to a single thread ultimately hinders the types of discussions one can have. For older series this makes sense, but I don't think the activity of the forum really justifies needing to keep everything to organized. Having moderated the anime forums in the past I can say it's not a huge strain.[/list] [/quote] This. I mean it wouldn't hurt to keep the thread listings since it helps me out quite a bit, but I don't think we should be limited to posting topics for a specific series in the anime/manga threads themselves... Wait a minute, I could've sworn that was lifted a while ago, was it not? I guess it's been hard to tell with the little activity we've been getting. (I could've been dreaming it lol) But for the most part I agree with this.

Got quite an interesting development. [spoiler]Guy in helmet healed Ageha....[/spoiler] But I'm stomped as to who it could be. I'm doubting it's Oboro considering the little time he'd have to get acquainted with everyone in the W.I.S.E., but then again.... Who knows how these creators thinks these days. But when I think about all the characters that's been introduced so far, he's the only one I see it being at the moment. Unless I'm looking over someone very important, but had a very small role at the beginning of the series...?

[quote name='Botar' date='18 June 2010 - 02:27 AM' timestamp='1276842422' post='695529'] [color="#008000"]Awwww... Skeet, Skeet, Skeet, GoW3 looked goreifully beautiful. [/color] [/quote] So I've heard. I haven't seen any trailers of it yet though, so yeah... I also heard that Ice-T's going to be voicing one of the newer characters. Ought to be interesting, especially since I thought the voice work in GoW2 was great. Considering Ice-T's work in Law & Order: SVU (Fin's a pimp XD), I'm looking forward to hearing him do voices.

This is why school is bad people. It gets you thinking and imagining things that's not true.... It's like a new weed or something Now that I'm done playing the blame game... Off to watch some vids of Gears of War 3.

I only know of Skyward Sword and the Ocarina of Time remake. What was the third one?[/font][/color] [/quote] The Other M. Team Ninja collaboration... Although it was announced last year.

[u]Reading[/u] [b]Hunter x Hunter[/b] (chapter 5) - Well, I haven't read anything yet, but chapter 5 will be my starting point... I do remember already reading the first few chapters, so I don't need to do what I'm doing with the other series (starting from the very 1st chapter). I'm starting this one over so I can get back in the grove of knowing the "Nen" techniques and whatnot because last time I jumped right back into chapter 75 and was lost. But for everything else (in my sig), I'm starting from the very first chapter just to see if I can piece everything together. A lot of people do a lot of marathoning and that's good for them, but I will never marathon (or whatever term people use for going through all of a manga in 1-5 sittings.) again since that is too much for me, and will ultimately burn me out. I think I'm gonna do 2 chapters of each before calling it a day.

As much as I think I'd be pleased to see more bankai's I think answers are needed much more. Honestly, we've gone too long with nothing being answered. I swear reading all that talk from Aizen looked like a bunch of jibberish, and I'm still not entirely sure if I understood much of what he said. All the talking he did is like something that's meant to be heard instead of read. Anyway, like I said, answers are needed, specifically Isshin and how he fits in to everything. We're still left wondering how is it that Aizen knew about Ichigo, yet no one else knew anything about him. I know we've been over this before, but it's still odd that the name Kurosaki doesn't ring a bell with anyone... I can understand Byakuya, Kenpachi, Toushiro and maybe Komamura not knowing about him, but everyone else... I'm not buying it. At first I didn't care that Kubo was making stuff up as he go, but this is getting beside itself now.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has really stolen this E3 for me. I've yet to play 1 or 2 (it has me wanting to buy and play both of them), but seeing this game and hearing what's being incorporated just has me giddy. I know I've been saying the first game I probably will end up getting when I get me a ps3 will be Metal Gear Solid 4, but after that, I have no idea. There are so many choices for the ps3 now. (Whether they're exclusive or multi-platform) I'm surprised that no one is talking about that new Zelda... Skyward Sword or something like that. Like I said, Zelda has been tiring me out. That's 3 Zelda games in one show.. Nintendo fans should be pleased for quite some time now with the games that're being milked now. Although, I will admit that I'm fairly curious about the Other M. But like I said, Assassin's Creed really stole this show for me, and just might be my game of the year this time around.... (Who am I kidding, I haven't played anything that came out within the last 2 years to consider anything to be Game of the Year)

I won't lie, I had my doubts that the Lakers were going to lose considering when I was leaving from my school, I saw that the score was something like 27 - 14 or somewhere around that. And when I got in I saw that they were down 7 going into the 3rd quarter... (or something like that lol) But I am glad the Lakers won. Like I said before, I can't get into the Celtics for some reason. They give off this macho/cocky/stuck up attitude that makes me not care for them. Next season will be interesting though. I wonder how this free agent stuff will play out considering that there are so much talent on there. I swear if Joe Dumars don't get in on that stuff I'm giving up on Detroit.

[quote]7 is actually quite lovely. I'm using it right now on my new custom-built desktop PC. I recommend it.[/quote] Yeah, I more than likely will be getting 7. Just gotta get the money for a computer now. All this talk about CCG's.. Man, takes me back.

At first I thought that this E3 wasn't going to be worth anything, and to be honest, I haven't felt like watching it either. (Had a free day yesterday, and could've watched it but I'm just not feeling it) And after seeing Microsoft's conference, and hearing about all this motion control stuff I was beginning to lose interest all together, but like all E3's, the games are the heart of it and there were quite a bunch of games that've caught my attention so far. But before I speak about those games, I gotta say that the 3DS is looking mighty impressive now. I was not interested at first, but consider me onboard with it now. (This does not mean anything. I'm still not much of a Nintendo fan by a longshot, just the DS ) A bunch of remakes for sure, but graphic updates are nice. Metal Gear Solid 3DS looks really good. But yeah, they should just leave all the talk about hardware, motion control, and movies or whatever out of these conferences and just do games because all that other stuff is just a boring. Anyway, with that said, here's what I've caught my eyes so far. Metal Gear Solid Rising (naturally lol) Marvel vs Capcom 3 Killzone 3 Call of Duty Black Ops Batman Brave and the Bold Infamous 2 Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 (only because of the graphics so far) Castlevania Lord of Shadows And then I've yet to see Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Gears of War 3. So I'll be looking at those video's soon, and will probably add them to the list as well. And then with that 3DS Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater (it is safe to call it that right?) Staf Fox 3DS Street Fighter IV 3DS Zelda OoT 3DS (although the Zelda series in general are beginning to wane on me, but I do like graphic updates... Well, it's not really an update, but looks more colorful from what I can remember)

[media]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-marvel-vs/101755[/media] EPIC. I mean, it looks just like Capcom vs Tatsunoko (that wasn't a bad game was it?). Dante and Deadpool look like they're going to be teammed up quite a bit, if only for the gun combo-finishes. But still an amazing looking good. Edit2 [media]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-marvel-vs/101739[/media] Deadpool did a Shoryuuken? O_o

[quote name='Allamorph' date='16 June 2010 - 02:50 PM' timestamp='1276714210' post='695409'][font="Calibri"]Gateway gogogo. And Vista should be fine now that most models come with enough standard RAM not to die horribly while trying to support the graphics. [/font] [/quote] Gateway's are usually on the pricy side right, or are there quite a few of them in the $200-$350 price range? And noooooo on Vista. I've been having so many issues with vista that I've never encountered before on XP or 2000.... (for one this automatic restarts and freezing on bootups) People in my school've ran into the same problems. I think I'll try out Windows 7 when I get my laptop/netbook or whatever.

I've been tempted to check out D-Grayman, especially since I've been told that it was similar to Fullmetal Alchemist, but if I do check it out, it'll probably end up being the manga version of it. But then again, we'll see.

After reading the chapter.... Yeah, definately don't want to see any training. If anything, I want to know why Isshin know how to use Getsuga Tensho, that's all. Keigo, Tatsuki, Chizuru... I'm beginning to think they didn't receive any training at all. (Well Chizuru is not counted in that anyway) But whatever, I know it won't happen, but if they get did in I'll be happy. Seeing them is really pointless. Comedic relief... I got that from when Isshin took a swing as Ichigo. Now that's funny stuff. I really have nothing positive about this chapter.

So I tried to play [b]Gungrave[/b]. For a while I was into it, although I was running into a lot of issues, but they really show up when you encounter the boss battles. Camera and control issues out the wazoo. I wanted to give this game the benefit of the doubt but when fighting [spoiler]Bear and Bunji[/spoiler] the game gets ridiculous. It's not so much as hard either. Like I said, it's more like trying to get the camera and controllers to work for you. [spoiler]Especially when Bunji decides to take cover and regain his health[/spoiler]. The controls, my God, you have to hold O to run. This is an action game, you shouldn't have to hold any button down to run. Terrible game. I want [i]Gungrave: Overdose[/i] back. I also started playing [b]Metal Gear Solid 2[/b] again on normal, but in all honesty, I'm not feeling this game anymore. The thought of having to going in the water to find [spoiler]Emma[/spoiler] is just so off putting. I dread that girl as well as that part. I'm going to be playing Dragon Quest 8, hopefully, but the main game I think I'm bout to start playing again is Devil May Cry 3.

[spoiler]- Inside the Dangai is Ichigo is seen meditating. He appear to be talking to Zangetsu. - Suddenly Isshin attacks him. Ichigo parries him off. - Ichigo is having problems talking to Zangetsu. - Isshin explains how time works inside the Dangai. - Inside the Dangai, space is multiplied and overlaps, that the streams of time flow around it. The density of time compared to outside is overwhelmingly high. If he had to use a number, it would be 2000-fold. If you were chased by the Koutotsu, time twists so that you end up straying far from the real time. - With Koutosu gone the Dangai is ideal for training. Less than a one hour in the real world = 2,000 hours in the Dangai. - Isshin show Ichigo a werid bracelet. With this bracelt he can stop the seizing current. - Ichigo goes back to meditating. Isshin tells him, his technique until now has been useless. Ichigo must walk the same path that thousands before him have already done. - Meanwhile back Karakura Town, Keigo is running wild trying to wake people up. He runs into Tatsuki. - Tatsuki and Keigo take a still sleeping Chizuru and Ogawa back to school. Along they way Tatsuki explain this somehow related to Ichigo. - Aizen and gin are inside the town. - Back at the Dangai, the meditation was a success. Isshin warns Ichigo that the Zangetsu he will face will be violent. End of chapter.[/spoiler] Meh, I'm really gonna be disappointed here. I don't care about Keigo, Tatsuki, Chizuru and Ogawa. I don't want to see training. It's bad timing anyway. I don't care about how little time is spent inside the dangai. The fact remains no matter how little time is spent inside that dangai it doesn't stop Aizen and Gin from advancing. Heck, Gin's bankai could wipe that town out if he wanted to, while they're spending their precious time inside the dangai. What I want to see is answers. Honestly, I'd much rather they stayed in FKT than see it progress like this. Talk about a series that's going in a direction to being dropped... It's this, and mighty fast might I add. Such a shame because I was just giving this series some praise a while ago.

Errr... I've only seen Metal Gear Solid Rising, Killzone 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops. A bit of Nintendo's showcase. I've already shared my piece about MGSR. Killzone 3 and Call of Duty looks nice though. Can't say that I've been feeling FPS's lately though. As for Nintendo, same as always, I'm just not a fan of the stuff. I hear they did steal the show though, for those who're more into the Nintendo.

I've been having the hardest time trying to get on this computer yesterday. Earlier this morning this thing went to a red screen.... O_O. Never knew a red screen existed until then. I'm gonna save up for a lap top. I do know I'm gonna stay away HP and Windows Vista.

That's just lovely... >_> Edit: Interesting chapter, but man, Naruto really gotta learn some other stuff. Shadow Clones and Rasengan. Learn some different wind techniques or something.

[quote name='Lawliet' date='15 June 2010 - 11:05 AM' timestamp='1276614323' post='695336'] But that means that we are liable to see Kabuto, who has always been my favorite character (well since the Forest of Pain or Death or whatever it was), which would make me happy, plus he has become an awesome sort of guy. I'm hoping that he betrays Madara and has his way with Sasuke if the opportunity presents itself before completing his deal with him. I feel like Sasuke, no matter how powerful, won't be able to fight all the dead members of Akatsuki and super Kabuto at once. [/quote] Don't know how much of an oomph that transplant made Sasuke... So I wouldn't exactly say that Sasuke can't take those undeads and Kabuto at once...

I didn't really read the chapter. I read the last page, and it looks like this set of flashbacks is coming to an end, yes? (Not trying to sound like a broken record or anything) At least that's how it seems but then again I can see Oda going into another set of flashbacks showing them when Ace and Luffy were a little older. (I'll probably read that batch if it were to happen)

I actually got a point off that last one...? Wow. 1. Gavin tried to organize his very own soccer team in honor of World Cup, but he had one problem: Gavin doesn't have any [b]experience[/b]! 2. Raiha tells me that one of the many translations for the word 'Otaku' is 'House.' If OtakuBoards were a house Raiha would spend all of her time in the [b]in her room[/b]. 3. Did you know that Japan 86 worked at McDonalds? Once she accidentally dropped [b]her lunch[/b] into the meat grinder, and they charged double for the hamburgers. 4. Adam's huge passion for movies inspired his 100ThingsILearned website, but I would never see a movie with him. The problem is that he won't stop [b]talking[/b] during the picture. 5. Superman said, "The strangest thing happened to me. Ever since I was exposed to Kryptonite my [b]chest[/b] glows in the dark!" (I swear... My initial thought was wayyyy out there.... )
