Magus

Doing a little bit of marathoning here and there with the first season, and I gotta say that this is some good stuff. Just got done watching episode 10. At first I was going to say that it was a bit hard to take Tieria (sp? Kind of name is that for a guy?) seriously with the whole pink/purple shirt and glasses look. It's also a bit hard to choose a favorite among the meisters at the moment. They all bring something to the table. Although, I suppose the [spoiler]split personality[/spoiler] guy (I can't spell his name) stands out the most. The only character I don't really like at the moment is that Saji person, but that's coming off of seeing the first two episodes of the 2nd season on SyFy. He comes off as a whiny character, and if there's any character type that I can't stand (even moreso than the "damsel in distress") it's whiny males.

[quote name='James'][font=franklin gothic medium]I am pretty upset about this news. While MJ was definitely unusual, I don't think he was unusual in a sinister way. He was definitely a musical genius and a big part of our culture. He was also a big part of my childhood (and my parents' childhood too!) Definitely a tragic end to what was a pretty tragic life.[/font][/QUOTE] This. I grew up listening to his music and watching his videos. Mimicking the dance steps to Thriller and Beat it. (It's easy :)) Even though he had some problems, I still listen to his music till this very day. RIP Mike :(

Er.. This season seems quite bland for me. Majority of the anime that's coming out this season looks like it's aimed toward those who're into those "slice of life" type shows, and I don't particularly care for that type. I don't really watch anime online anymore either.. (Due to the spot I usually go to is messed up and I hate going to youtube to watch anime split into parts.) And even then, I was still playing catch up with a lot of series I've yet to see. (Soul Eater basically..) If there was one show that looks like it can be interesting, it's Cannan. But other than that... Nothing for me. On the upside though, Gundam 00 season 2 starts this coming Monday (I think)

I need to get my hands on some money so I can get some DS games... (Castlevania mainly) Anyway, I'm playing [b]Zelda: Ocarina of Time[/b]. It's been a long time since I've played this game (I'm actually surprised that the old and busted N64 still works... Goldeneye007 here I come.), and I pretty much left off at a bad spot. The dreaded spot I hate the most in this game... The friggin water temple. Good thing I didn't start anything because I'd be lost on what to do. Went fishing and caught a 19 pound fish... I think the largest I caught was 20.. [spoiler]I don't know if Link is short as an adult but to see a fish that's the same size as him....[/spoiler] I don't know if I'd ever go fishing there lol. I think I found 33 of those spider things. I can't remember everything that I've already accomplished. I've never found everything, or rather collected everything. Sometimes I'd try to collect all the heart pieces but some of those require playing those games that I'm no good in and I tend to avoid them altogether. I wonder where was the last place I left off on Majora's Mask.... I know I've never beaten that game at all.

[quote name='HopscotchEyelid']Actually in an earlier post, in this thread, someone did say that.[/QUOTE] If you're talking about Silpheed's post, you really shouldn't take that seriously. Give or take, a lot of people here just joke about almost every random thing.

[size=1]Man, school sucks, especially when the class is overpopulated, 1 instructor who can't get to everyone, grown folks acting like they're still in high school. Can't get this program on my computer that the class is using because of email problems.. >_> Anyway, while LA's not my favorite team, it was easy to know that they were going to take it this year. It's going to be interesting to see how things are going to play out next season.[/size] ________________ Start the day off with some hotdogs.. Looked at that one dance clip that Vicky posted. (2nd clip don't work.) Looked at a little bit more dancing groups and whatnot. (Kaba Modern, Jabbawockeez, etc..) And I'm going to end my youtube run of the day with Dead Fantasy and Haloid. [YOUTUBE]K9sYixr2miY&feature=related[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]ryH1TB4gEUY[/YOUTUBE] Those are my favorite clips, outside of Straw hats vs Team 7, but they took those down :(. Anyway, do anyone know of more crossover fighting clips? (Besides street fighter vs mortal kombat?)

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]Knowing that I am already a terrible human being for owning Wal-Mart and several other corporations, I'm trying to decide just how evil it makes me for finding [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UenDYX26uN0&fmt=18][I]this Youtube clip[/I][/url] possibly the funniest thing I have seen this year.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] All I see right now is the end of a chocobo race on FFVII or rather, that's the first thing I saw when the music started. Funny find even though I hate that show.

[quote name='Rurouni922']When did they say it was exclusive to the 360?[/QUOTE] It's not. I intended on updating that once again but never got around to doing so. It's also for the ps3 and pc as well.

True enough. But this is Kubo (as well as shonen), and we have to beat around the bush before revealing our "secret weapons" (as Shunsui puts it). But I'd be completely satisfied if Kubo goes straight to their bankai's. 2 bankai's vs released Stark... (Do it Kubo)

[b]Return of the Dragon/The Way of the Dragon[/b] [b]Fist of Fury/Chinese Connection[/b] All that's missing is Enter the Dragon, Game of Death, and Big Boss. Anyway, acting wise, those movies are horrible. :) That's alright though. Those movies aren't meant to be watched for acting. They're action powerhouses. And I think any martial arts fan would enjoy them. Even though Bruce Lee's not hitting his opponents it's still nice to see it. His speed is something else. [spoiler]The fight against Chuck Norris[/spoiler] is a prime example of it. I couldn't count the amount of times he tore into [spoiler]Chucks[/spoiler] chest and finished it with a kick to the face. (Beautiful stuff :) I'm just mean... :D) It's too bad fights aren't as good as this nowdays.. The last great fight I saw was in The Protector. (No flashy graphics. No explosions. And most importantly, no wires. Just a straight up hand-to-hand fight.)

It's very rare to ever see me study at all. (I fail all exams if I study for some reason.) And when I do study I tend to just listen to my mp3 player. It has a variety of music on there. Nowdays I really can't listen to music while studying though because a lot of times I get too, into the music.. "coughs"

Stark is like all of us. (or most) He wants to see their bankai's... Err.. Do we even know what their shikai's can do? One would think Shunsui is a wind user while Ukitake is the lightning user....

Danzou ain't that bad giving orders to eliminate Sasuke. Now if he gave orders to eliminate Naruto, this guy would be my new favorite character. :D So this chapter was pretty a flashback chapter.... >_>

Definately an interesting fusion. People are saying that Lilli is his zanpakuto. (which sounds just about right) I'm also thinking that Barragan and Halibel are still alive. I don't believe in one-shotters against characters who're stronger than Ulquiorra. The thing that caught my eye is this [spoiler]スタークがソイフォンの戦闘をみて卍解は皆あんな強いのかをきき、さらに非番谷と享楽だとどっ ちが強いかを 問う。 Stark saw Soi Fong's battle and asked, "Everyone's bankai sure is sort of powerful, aren't they?". He also asked, "I also wonder which one of you and Hitsugaya is stronger..." 享楽は、彼は天才だからあと百年もしたら追い抜かれちゃうと思う、と。 Kyouraku "Because he's a genius, If he had lived a century more, I think he would surpass me."[/spoiler] I'm not going to start speculating yet, but in the back of my head, I'm thinking this really sucks.

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]I'd genuinely love to know what circumstances lead to this idea behind [url=http://www.pown.it/1333?r=1389529][b]this[/b][/url] being formed.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] People were bored... I can't believe I just watched that entire thing... >_>

Full spoiler [quote=sgs2008 @ mangahelpers][spoiler]ソイフォンの卍解はなんかロケットランチャーでした。 Soi Fong's Bankai was somewhat like a rocket launcher. 爆発の衝撃でビルに吹き飛ぶ大前田、ソイフォンも銀条反が破れ、吹っ飛ぶが大前田が受け止める 。 Omaeda was blown off the building by the explosion's crash. Soi Fong's silver cloth was torn, Omaeda got caught in the explosion. 大前田「隊長やりましたよ・・・！！」ソイフォン「・・・放せ・・・気色悪い・・・」 Omaeda "Captain, you did it....!", Soi Fong "... Get away from me, it's disgusting.." 361,Hate Loneliness, But it loves me スタークがソイフォンの戦闘をみて卍解は皆あんな強いのかをきき、さらに非番谷と享楽だとどっ ちが強いかを 問う。 Stark saw Soi Fong's battle and asked, "Everyone's bankai sure is sort of powerful, aren't they?". He also asked, "I also wonder which one of you and Hitsugaya is stronger..." 享楽は、彼は天才だからあと百年もしたら追い抜かれちゃうと思う、と。 Kyouraku "Because he's a genius, If he had lived a century more, I think he would surpass me." スターク、じゃあ今はアンタのほうが強いってことだといい、卍解が観てみたくなりやる気になっ たらしい。 Stark "Well, if that's the case, I'd be right if I said that right now, you're stronger than he is. Seeing your bankai has been on my mind for some time now." 享楽は羽織を浮竹にあずける。 Kyouraku left his haori with Ukitake. スターク、リリネットを呼ぶと享楽がどうしてその子を？と問う。 Stark called Lilinette, Kyouraku asked, "Why that kid?" すると説明開始。 From there starts the explanation. 俺たちは二人で一人、虚から進化する時に他の破面が肉体と刀に分けた虚の力を俺たちは二つの体 に分けた。 By being two, we are one. The time we evolved from being Hollow, we separated into body and blade. Our Hollow power is separated into two bodies. 俺たちが一つに帰るとき、俺たちの力も解放される。と説明し、リリネットの頭をなでて一つにな ると同時に帰 刃。 When we return back to being one, our power is released. [He] pats Lilinette's head, And simultaneously, they do the Resurrecion. 「蹴散らせ　群狼（ロス・ボロス）」 "Kick about, Wolf Pack (Los Lobos)" 享楽も始解する。 Kyouraku also starts to understand. 帰刃したスタークの姿で次週。 Stark's Resureccion will be next week. 二丁の少し銃身の長い銃を持ってる。左目にはスコープというかスカウターみたいなのつけてる。 Carrying two weapons, a small gun barrel and a long gun barrel, the left eye seems to have a scope, and the right eye has something which looks like a scouter.[/spoiler][/quote] I'm not going to say anything, yet. Good thing that pic is awesome though. Don't get me wrong, the chapter itself sounds good.

[IMG]http://i39.tinypic.com/308xye9.jpg[/IMG] Kubo might've out did himself here. I don't even care about the spoilers this week. That form is awesome.

[quote name='Sangome'][SIZE="1"]I had a tornado warning and the power went off for a couple of hours. :D[/SIZE][/QUOTE] You're quite the fearless one.

Stormy... Err... Had a tornado watch earlier. Bah, that's a good way to freak me out... >_>

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"] Impossible. Their combined levels of dickishness could not be contained in a single body without it exploding from all the hate directed at them from just about the entire world. Of course it's probably true anyway seeing as it's been one of the longest running identity theories for Madara.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] The only reason why I'm thinking this is because Madara can do space/time jutsu (whatever it is.) and no telling how fast he can change clothes and wrap his eye. And I just don't trust either one.

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]On a side note, the Cloud-nin's reaction to seeing Konoha after the preceding panels was just hilarious.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] I didn't know what you were talking about at first, but yeah that was pretty funny. As for everything else, err... Naruto got a Gaara treatment he's been wanting... Err... Madara=Danzou. Yeah, I didn't really care for this chapter.

I agree, Lawliet. It's only natural for the captains bankai resemble, or have some characteristics of their shikai. And seeing how Soifon's don't have any type of resemblance (maybe the blast will kill in one shot?) what so ever, this opens up quite a few doors as to figuring out what kind of bankai the other captains (as well as Aizen and Gin) has. I really wish Omaeda would just die already. I don't find him funny at all, and he's real annoying. Ukitake's a pedo... (As well as Yoruchi. Seducing a younger Byakuya.. "coughs") Man these people really know how to make me dislike them. If he's going to kill the girl, just kill her already. All this sandbagging is garbage, and did he not forget that this is war. If he dies he deserves it. This makes me wish Kubo would go back to Ichigo and folk (when I'm tired of seeing them.) One more thing. Is Ukitake even sick anymore? I don't know what TB does, but seeing how when he has panel time he don't cough or anything. He looks as if he is as healthy as can be. Playing around with little girls and whatnot.

[youtube]OYXBigPJI_c[/youtube] I don't really spend too much time on Youtube, but every time I do go there, I'm looking at clips like that or something from Whose Line is it Anyway, or Comics Unleashed. Just thought I'd post that since I'm bored (but having a great day.)

[quote name='James'][font=franklin gothic medium]You will notice the difference when you have the chance to give it a try. :catgirl: Basically, the Wii Remote contains an accelerometer that detects your movement and while it works reasonably well, it doesn't really come close to giving you full 1:1 movement. Some games really demonstrate this clearly, especially where there can be some lag or not enough sensitivity. MotionPlus basically adds an additional sensor which allows the Wii Remote to track your movements far more accurately. A lot of MotionPlus games contain a basic calibration tool as well, so that each time you are doing a different motion, you get as close to 1:1 feedback as possible. I mean if you look at something like WiiSports Tennis, the motion is fairly good, but it's not close to 1:1 really. Sometimes you'll swing when you don't want to, or you'll half-swing when you want to full-swing, etc. Often it just means that a swing is a swing and there's no degree of force detected. MotionPlus is basically a lot more like playing a real game of tennis, because it can pick up all of the smaller motions and movements - including things like force and speed. My thinking is that quite a few games just won't be possible without MotionPlus (including the new Zelda). So hopefully we'll see it supported heavily and hopefully quite a few games will come with it packed in.[/font][/QUOTE] We'll be getting a Wii one of these days, so who knows. :) So in other words, if I were to throw the controller, the game should detect this and have the person throw whatever object they're holding as well? Interesting.. :catgirl: There was some talk about a new Zelda for the Wii, and it's centered around adult Link. (I still need to play Twilight Princess.... Maybe next time I get my hands on $30 I'll buy it for the Gamecube.) God of War 3 looked interesting, but I'm not really all that stoked about the game because I've never cared about greek mythology. Graphically speaking, it looks amazing though. Speaking of God of War, Kratos is in the new Soul Calibur game for the PSP. It also looks decent, but like the other Soul Caliburs, I'm not interested, nor would I shell out money to purchase a PSP for a Soul Calibur game. Today should be a little more interesting since there's a lot more focus on the games I'm looking forward to. (And hopefully there will be no more of this Steve Wiebe guy and this Donkey Kong game. Do people really care about that?)

Daimyo? The hell? It's good that they're incorporating actual aspects of ninja's (I suppose) now, but there's never been mention of a daimyo until this spoiler. The damiyo should just become hokage himself if he has/she has final say. Anyway, I agree with you. Nagato should've left everyone dead if this was going to happen. But then again, these idiotic villagers (those who're left alive) should protest about Danzou not doing a thing while the village was in turmoil. This is definately setting up the whole confrontation with Sasuke's revenge crap, but it does make me wonder if everyone else is going to support Danzou or will there be a 3-way battle.
