"Facepalm" I forgot about Ninja Warrior and Unbeatable Banzukai (sp?) Gibbs is definately a BMF. :) I'm a fan of the whole cast, but I show more favortism towards Gibbs and Ziva. Tony is great although, there are times where I find myself hoping that McGee would get back at him just to see his reaction. I enjoy seeing Ziva getting the best of Tony though. Abby is just Abby. Can't help but like her. I've heard of Strikeforce, but unfortunately it doesn't come on my tv, or I haven't found the channel it comes on. I used to watch Pride, but I haven't seen that on tv anymore so I assume that's done for. While I am a fan of the Lightweights since they're always explosive, but I'm more of a fan of the Light Heavyweights. That's where all the folks I actually know of fight, haha. I also like the Middleweights.. I think. Whichever GSP is in.

[quote name='chibi-master']That depends on if you're a supporter of Team Edward or Team Jacob... I myself am a supporter of Team Burntheseries.[/QUOTE] Neither. They are who? Then again, nvm. Reading Rach's post tells me I don't even want to know. Affliction, you're a rockstar. NCIS and MMA (Only thing I have to watch is UFC and WEC) are great stuff. I'm also a fan of Burn Notice and Law and Order: SVU. I don't really watch G4 anymore unless it's for G-phoria or E3. Sometimes I watch X-play if I'm able to catch it or really bored... (but they don't talk about anything that interest me anymore.) Edit: Searched the name Bella Swan... No wonder I don't know who she is. I've never seen Twilight. (Not really interested in that either.)

So whose Bella Swan?

So I'm home pretty early today... I usually get out of class around 10-10:30pm. The power was out when I arrived at school today, and everyone was wondering what happened since there was not a single storm to pass by. The wind was pretty gusty, so that could've done something... So now I have to make up not only Monday, but Wednesday too. So much for my 2 week break. >_>

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]I'm especially potent around four- and five-year-old girls, who have no problems discarding their inhibitions to capitalise on leg rides and shoulder rides and all sorts of silliness. And to those of you whose minds went elsewhere, shame shame. I can't wait to have a daughter. :p[/FONT][/QUOTE] Good thing you cleared that up.

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]Decided to give the [B]Hunter x Hunter[/B] anime a look because a friend recommended it to me, although I'm not sure if he meant the OVAs or the original anime.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] How is that? I've only seen the first 3 episodes and they were pretty slow. I've been meaning to get back into it some day but never got around to doing it. (Never bothered to look at it yet since I'm on a One Piece spree right now.) I hear that the OVA's are continuations so maybe your friend meant all?

"Slaps forehead" How could I forget about MGS3 when I have a few songs on my mp3 player. (Mainly Ocelot's theme.) I like majority of the music in the MGS series though. (I also have Fortune's theme on my mp3 player.) I also forgot that I liked the music in Shenmue. (Can't remember the music in Shenmue 2 though.)

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]Switching to the anime for the moment, anyone else slightly surprised by the human looks of the shinigami's zanpakutou ? Lord knows we actually might have a slightly decent filler arc coming up. [/SIZE][/QUOTE] I haven't watched the anime since Hisagi vs Fraccion. And I just kind of gave up on watching it on adult swim altogether. Outside of that one episode, I haven't really found the anime entertaining. Anyway.. Human looks? More Zangetsu's running around? [quote name='Lawliet']Anyway, I don't really see why they are causing so much fuss about this. Yeah at first having your own powers turn on you would be surprising and a bit overwhelming but captains dodn't become captains just because they can use shikai and bankai. They should still be talented enough to battle their swords into submission, in my opinion.[/quote] Huh? I'm a bit lost here. Current chapter or anime?

So I've tried playing [b]Halo 3[/b] for the first time 3 days ago. That game feels funny, especially considering the last shooting game that I've played was Gears of War 2. I know dual guns are old and all, but wow, shooting with the L button feels entirely too weird. (God knows how long it's been since I've played Halo 2.) Anyway, my brother-in-law also bought [i]Halo Wars[/i] and I have no intention on playing that game at all. [size=1]I can't find Tales of Vesperia (RAGE!!!). I'd like to finish playing that game since I have a break coming up.[/size]

Watching ======= [b]Darker Than Black[/b] - FUNimation finally put something on demand that I want to see that doesn't cost to watch. However, I just recently finished watching the first 5 episodes, and while everything is pretty interesting, I'm pretty much lost at what's going on. What happened to the lady in the first two episodes? [spoiler]Is that suppose to be her in episode 5, working with the cop lady?[/spoiler] What happened to the school girl? [spoiler]Is her mother also working with the cop lady? Look like I saw the short haired lady in the school girl's flashback.[/spoiler] [b]One Piece[/b] - I don't know whose behind the animation, but they've done quite the job in keeping me entertained considering that the character models are pretty crappy. I'm currently on ep. 342. I haven't looked at any of the fillers outside of when Ace was traveling with the Strawhats. And even then, I could only take so much. I'd really prefer to watch this dubbed (I heard a lot of great things about FUNi's dub), but oh well, I'm not really watching this for story, but more like to get a laugh in and watch some of the fights that I've read in black and white.

Pfft. School is all year round for me. Stupid quarter system. My last day for this quarter is next Friday though, and then I get a week or 2 off. >_>

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial][B]Edit:[/B] Also, where the frick are Rinoa and Rachel during all of this? I hope he didn't forget....[/FONT][/QUOTE] As well as Ayane (Ayame?) and Rikku. [spoiler]Maybe Tifa was collected for a cloning process... Something like Kasumi? (If she was cloned, that is.)[/spoiler] Haloid was awesome, too. Do you know of anymore crossover videos? I'm aware of Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter and One Piece vs Naruto, and then of course Dead Fantasy and Haloid, but that's all I know about (that's good anyway.)

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]For those of you who haven't heard yet, Dead Fantasy [URL="http://www.gametrailers.com/video/dead-fantasy-monty-oum/52613"][COLOR="Blue"]3[/COLOR][/URL], [URL="http://www.gametrailers.com/video/dead-fantasy-monty-oum/52837"][COLOR="Blue"]4[/COLOR][/URL], and [URL="http://www.gametrailers.com/video/dead-fantasy-monty-oum/53444"][COLOR="Blue"]5[/COLOR][/URL] have been released. MontyOum has upped his skill since last time. [SPOILER]Which means he's confident enough to use male figures now.[/SPOILER] This is getting awesome. For anyone just getting into this, or if you just want to start tracking him, you can find his submitted works [URL="http://www.gametrailers.com/game/monty-oum/4712"][COLOR="Blue"]here[/COLOR][/URL]. I recommend Icarus, myself.[/FONT][/QUOTE] I didn't think anybody else watch that. I gotta say, though, it's finally nice to see those without the annoying fans and their camera's jumping up and down. Not to mention a giant head walking past the camera. It's also nice to not hear all the "oh's and ah's". (Ryu vs Cloud in the future? :o)

This is basically aimed at shonen since it's all I've seen as of late. I hate it when airheads/idiots are the main characters. The only character(s) that I can really put up with whose like that is Goku, who I barely can put up with anymore, and Luffy, who took a long time for me to get into. (He's a favorite now, but still) It's like after Rurouni Kenshin ran it's course, smart main characters became non-existant. One could say I should appreciate FMA, but trust me when I say I hate Ed and Al for other reasons lol.

FINALLY. Common sense coming from someone I can't even stand. Sai (and now Shikamaru) said what I've been going on about for so long that the village relies too much on Naruto. (idiot. I'll get to you in a minute.) It's gotten to the point to where it seems like nobody else in the village can even put up a decent fight outside of Kakashi. Now Naruto... On second though, I'm not going to even bother. At this point, I'm pretty much done with this series. I don't even care how the rest of this turns out.

I believe everyone is in the same boat as you, Lawliet. Too many fights with no progression, and people just want this stuff to move on already. The only way I want this to stall is if Aizen shows his bankai. As I've said before, I don't care who lives or dies, just move it along already. - I really can't stand Soifon now. She's pissed at the vaizards because they have connections to Urahara.... OMG, hiefahoe get over it. That's about it actually. Nothing really stood out in this chapter. If anything I feel that the chapter was a bit too preachy for me. Barragan keeps yapping about what his ability can do and I'm like "we know this already". It'd be different if there was yapping about an actual plot though.

[quote name='Ace'][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Finally managed to see [B]Dragonball: Evolution[/B], which did indeed manage to out-stupid [B]Batman and Robin[/B] and [B]Surviving Christmas[/B], if you'll believe that. In a good way, though. I came in expecting it to be bad and was delighted when it surpassed my expectations in that regard.[/FONT][/QUOTE] I know people has to see things for themselves, but sometimes you should take heed to what some people say is going to be a bad movie lol. I plan not to watch that movie whatsoever. Were you really that curious to check the movie out, Ace, or did someone dare you to watch it? It's been a while since I've last watched any movies... All the movies released this year so far I've had little to no interest in watching, and I'm not really curious to branch out and watch some low budget type movies either. (if there's no martial arts in it that is.) I'm just going to jump ship and say that I can't stand Will Farrell movies either.

^ WHAT?! On second thought, nevermind. My mind hasn't been in the gutter in a while and I plan to keep it that way. Yeah, I think I laid down wrong seeing how the pain is gone. (With an ocassional little ow from a stretch..) [quote name='UncleYaris'][COLOR=Red]What should I play next: Jade Empire or Final Fantasy 8?[/COLOR][/QUOTE] FF8. But then again, I'm a bit bias when it comes to FF8.

Meh, messed my chest up... While lying down I placed a folded pillow under my back to help me relax a bit. Turned my head to the left and next thing you know, I'm having chest pains.. Like I pulled or strained a muscle. Probably need a chiropractor. (sp?)

[quote name='Rachmaninoff']I just love waking up early on a Saturday when I don't need to. It's even more fun when I'm too awake to fall back asleep. Oh joy. [SIZE="1"][/sarcasm][/SIZE][/QUOTE] We're in the same boat then. I really hate it when I go to sleep only to wake up 4 hours later... (12m - 4am.. That sucks.)

I see what you mean when it comes to these build up chapters. (One Piece knows how to do a real build up chapter.) There really hasn't been a great build up chapter for me since Ulquiorra's release. And even then, I don't know if I'd really call that chapter a build up either. I also agree with you about the characters, especially the villains. There's a total of only 13 villains compared to a half million good guys. And out of those 13 villains, only 3 (4 possibly) of them has shown their worth. (Aizen, who hasn't done anything but you know he's superman, Ulquiorra and Grimmjow. Maybe Nnoitra.) Ulquiorra fought Ichigo like he was one of the top 3 espada, and the top 3 are fighting like crap. (Even though it looks like a feeling out process.) They're not showing why they're considered the top 3. Kubo messed Halibel up with that mirror/clone crap from Toushiro. Barragan's ability is as cheap as they come, yet he's not doing anything with it. Stark's fight was cut off before we can see what he can really do. I'm not really looking for deaths on the hero side, but I do wish for once Kubo make these 3 espada live up to expectations. As for the chapter itself, meh, I think it was meant to kill the tension since Kubo tossed in that little bickering moment between Hitsugaya and Hyori. Speaking of Hitsugaya, I want Kubo to actually have him go ahead and fight Aizen. What makes the idiot think there's going to be any type of difference from round 1? Go ahead Kubo. I double dare you.

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]Honestly chibi it's down to yourself one way or another, you look fine with either[/SIZE][/quote] Agreed, however, Chibi, it's kind of creepy that you actually resemble Yachiru... =O I've never really seen people actually look like cartoon characters. I don't remember his name at all, but he's an actor (or a singer... Don't recall) and folks at this other forum did a side-by-side comparison of him and Light Yagami (Death Note). He's the only person I've actually seen that resembles a cartoon character. And I just find this type of stuff pretty fascinating for some oddball of a reason.

"Please forgive Sasuke".... Seriously? You know it's sad when one is starting to miss hearing "I'm going to be the greatest Hokage". -I will not allow anyone to talk bad about Sasuke. -Sasuke doesn't belong to you. -I cannot betray Sasuke. (I really hate Naruto now.) -Please forgive Sasuke. (Just die already) That's just some snippets of the garbage that's been pissing me off ever since the beginning of this leap. It's going to be Naruto's naive-ness that kills whatever interest I have left of the series. The only saving grace this is giving me now is Danzou and Madara. But seriously, this is definately like putting up with Sora (Kingdom Hearts) and Fayt (Star Ocean 3) all over again. (I hate those games because of those characters, and Naruto is definately heading towards that direction.) And then there's Sasuke himself. You know when I first got into this series I had no issues with Sasuke whatsoever. Fanboys truly made me start hating his character (OMG... They're getting on my nerves) and Kishi pretty much enhanced that hatred due to the fact that I cannot stand seeing certain characters get so much screen/panel time when there's a large cast of characters. And now with all this "I'm gonna kill this and that". Just stop talking and just do it. (I'd give you more respect this way.) Your record for actually pulling through on killing whoever is 0-? The two main characters are the ones I want dead the most.[/rant] Now I feel better. :) Anyway, I'm siding with the Raikage here. There is no peace in the ninja world. I want to see a ninja war.... "coughs" (does that make me evil?) I still want to know what Zetsu can do. (In terms of fighting.)

Another reason I'm not willing to discredit the VC vaizards is because, like you said. The time they've been out of SS, we don't know how much they've been training or if they were slacking like Yoruichi. [quote name='Lawliet']Hmm. I was also kinda thinking that if Shinji can still be cut by another captain then 100 years may not be enough time to do any drastic increases to your shinigami powers.[/quote] Vaizards don't have hard skin :D.

I don't know. Power rankings are still garbage here... However, I would not discredit Lisa, Hyori or Hacchi because they were VC's way before Toushiro was there, and we have no idea what seat Soifon was while they were in SS. (VC is definately out of the question though.) And then we just don't know how much of a boost shinigami's get from going hollow... (We do know it varies) There are too many holes here. (Thanks Kubo >_>) I do know how you came to that though, Lawliet. Basing all of these fights off of Ichigo and Ulquiorra? :) Someone at another forum said that the vaizards could've been overhyped, and while I don't want to jump the gun just yet, I can definately see this. But then again, I suppose that the top 3 espada and vaizards could've been overhyped at this point. Nobody's really living up to their status. (But this can change next week.)
