[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Squashed Snail [/i] [B]I've played number 1, but lost interest. :D Does Shenmue 2 continue on from the story of the first game in the series? Just curious.... :twitch: [/B][/QUOTE] yes.....yes it does I LOVED shenmue 2, much better than the first one, and I was over the moon to find out that they kept the original japanese dialogue and had english subtitles, can't wait for shenmue 3, hopefully by the time it is released the xbox would have dropped in price.....again

it's an ok movie, it's too short really, rock ain't too bad at acting.... rumour has it that the rock will be starring as duke nukem in the duke nukem movie.... rock with blond hair? I don't think so....

1) How many people have heard any J-Music? I.....for one 2) If yes, how much of it WASN'T from an anime? not much, I admit, I mostly hear from anime 3) If you haven't heard J-Music, would you be interested in hearing some? I'm interested in hearing some anyway :p 4) If yes, what genre would you like to hear? whatever, dude, just show me something good 5) Do guys in drag and lots of makeup (who may or may not look Gothic) disgust you, facinate you, or you don't care what they wear as long as their music sounds good? I really couldn't care less, heck, I've been to transvestite restaurants 6) Straight girls, gay/bi guys, and straight guys comfortable with their sexuality: Does this look sexy? anyone who is comfortable with their sexuality is sexy, and gackt is almost as hot as I am 7) Straight guys, gay/bi women, and women comfortable in their sexuality: Does this look sexy? yuppers 8) If you listened to J-Music, what groups/singers did you enjoy the most? heck if I know 9) Does Japanese culture/music intrest you in the least? of course it does 10) If no, why not? boo!

though I am late, I guess it's better to say it now then to never say it.... happy christmas adam and james! whats that? wrong occasion? ok then, happy hannuka adam and james!

They headed northward once again, trying to make their way as best they could through the deep snow. It was difficult at first, but after about half a mile they passed the area where the avalanche had affected, and the snow subsided to only a foot or two. Reno kept his eyes open for any hint that they were being watched, but saw nothing. He especially kept his eyes on the slope of the mountain to their left. Perhaps when they saw they had failed, whoever had caused the avalanche would try again, but he saw nothing out of place up there either. The ground started to slope upward, and the mountain started to level out on their left, until finally it was a mere hill that posed no avalanche danger at all. Reno breathed a sigh of relief. But it was a bit premature. As the reached the top of the slope they saw half a dozen people standing on the trail ahead of them. "Looks like we're being met by the welcoming committee," Rude observed. Reno slipped his nightstick out again and walked forward. The strangers stood in a line across the trail, looking as if they had been waiting for them, which was no doubt true. The were all dressed the same, in black outfits with a red insignia on the shirt. As he got closer he saw the insignia was of a red fist. He stopped about ten feet in front of them. One of the men in the middle of the group spoke. "Apparently we didn't make it clear enough that we don't want any visitors here," he said. "I was hoping our little hint would convince you to turn around." Reno shrugged. "We are kind of thick headed that way," he replied. "Who are you?" Elena demanded. The man glanced over at her. "That's not important," he answered. "It must have been difficult to get through that avalanche. I admire your determination. Too bad it was all for nothing." "I wouldn't say that," Reno replied. "After all, we got to meet all you pleasent people." "Very funny," the man said, "But I'm afraid your journey ends here." "You expect us to turn around now?" Elena said. "After all we went through to get here? That's not very hospitable of you." The man gave her a look of contempt. "We don't expect you to turn back," he stated. "We expect you to die." Elena and Rude stepped up on either side of Reno. "Sorry," Reno said. "But I'm afraid we're going to have to disappoint you again." Their opponents charged forward. Reno aimed his nightstick at the one who had spoken and let loose with a blast of electicity. The man cried out and fell to the ground, stunned. The others hesitated for just a moment, and then came forward again. Reno had no time for another blast before they were upon him. He jabbed with his nightstick, forcing one attacker back. The other one kicked swiftly at his leg, landing a glancing blow and knocking him off balance for a moment. His own leg shot out even while off balance and managed to knock the other one back. As a Turk he had been trained in all forms of combat, as had Rude and Elena. Though competent at hand to hand he was no expert, working as often with weapons or materia as with bare hands, not specializing in any particular area. There was no materia available at the moment, and his nightstick was not all that useful at close quarters. They were outnumbered by a group of people he soon realized were much more skilled than they in weaponless combat, and soon found themselves on the defensive. Still, for a while they held their own in spite of the odds. Perhaps their enemy underestimated them, or perhaps the realization that they were fighting for their lives inspired them. Whatever the case they battled to a standstill for quite a while. But eventually the tide inevitably began to turn in their opponents favor. With their superior numbers their enemy was constantly trying to slip someone behind them, and their constant manuevering to avoid this eventually found them with their backs to a pile of jumbled boulders which, though preventing them from becoming surrounded, also left them no place to retreat. To his right an opponent suddenly got under Rude's guard and struck him solidly on the left cheek. Rude stumbled back and fell. A second man sprung forward to deliver another blow. Reno turned swiftly and let loose with another blast from his nightstick. The man went down as if hit by a truck. Reno felt a solid blow to his side and he went down as well, the nightstick flying from his hand. To his left he saw Elena, backed up against a large rock, desperately trying to ward off two attackers. The man who had spoken to them suddenly stood looking down at him. "You have fought well," he said. "It may be of comfort to know that I take no pleasure in killing you." "It's no thrill for us either," Elena piped in just before a blow to the forehead sent her to the ground as well. Their opponents moved in to finish them, but suddenly they paused, looking around. A sound filled the air. Reno had not noticed it in the heat of battle, but now it was too loud for even that to mask it. It was the unmistakable roar of a jet engine. The sound grew until it was nearly earsplitting. Then the Slipstream flew over them, so low that the nearby trees bent in the wind as it went by. Reno thought he could almost feel the heat from the exhaust of those great engines as it roared by. Their opponents just stood looking at it. Obviously this was something they had not anticipated. The Slipstream roared up into the air and swung around. Then it dropped down again and headed straight for them. Their enemies hesitated, still looking at the jet. Then the one who had spoken turned to look at Reno. "This isn't the end of it," he said. In an instant he was off and running, the others following close behind. There was a narrow trail that led into a mass of rocks off to their left, and they sprinted down it as the Slipstream bore down on them. Reno lay unmoving, looking up at the aircraft and watching the smoke trails as the Slipstream let loose with a barrage of rockets. The last of their opponents had just disappeared into the rocks when the entire area erupted in a ball of flame. Reno shaded his eyes for a moment at the blast, and felt a shower of pebbles from the pulverized rock wash over him. He hastily covered his head. When he looked up again there was a sizable crater where the missles had hit. He couldn't see how anyone could have survived such a blast. Slowly he stood up. He walked over to Elena and helped her up as Rude came up next to them. The Slipstream made another turn and came around again, this time much more slowly. Rude and Elena waved. The black jet waggled it's wings as it went by, then streaked off to the north. They stood there in silence for a few minutes. "Everyone okay?" Reno asked finally. Rude nodded. "Yes," Elena said. Reno walked over and inspected the area around the crater. He came back to them in a few minutes. "I don't know if any of them survived, but there's no one around now," he said. "There is a narrow path beyond the rocks. If any of them escaped, that must be the way they went. We're obviously close to something they don't want us to find, but even if all those we saw were killed, we don't know how many others there may be. I think the best thing to do now is to head for Holzoff's cabin and tell the others. I think for this job we're going to need all the help we can get." Rude and Elena said nothing but followed him as he slowly led them down the right hand trail. No one suggested exploring any further. They had all had more than enough excitement for one day. sigh, MORE of chapter 5 tomorrow....

Seph's gonna find that out that hard way come online Tekken. Hehe, here's hoping he didn't read this whole post. [/B][/QUOTE] hah! you....defeat me in tekken? I think not, my crazy white friend, for you see it is I that won the tekken 3 computer exchange birmingham competition back in early 2000 where I won my butt a dreamcast, I am unbeatable, now I await the next tournament, I heard rumours that it will be tekken tag or soul calibur this time, I say boo to that! when tekken online finally comes around, I'll be getting ready to beat some online butt!

I believe there were only 26 episodes of cardcaptors, like many other anime in japan, so that it fully fits into a season, there are a few movies too I think....

let the girl become a super saiyajin, does it really matter? :p

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by ShadowGohan [/i] [B][SIZE=1]Yah, that last funnie, was... funny :D Oh god, I saw something that you would like sooo much Safer. In the latest issue of Forbidden Planet, there is a sculpture of Tifa, it's really really nice ;) but it's £54.99 I dunno how big it is though...[/SIZE] [/B][/QUOTE] I think I already have the sculpture, well, I have about 4 tifa sculptures, all different sizes, I have sculptures of other ff7 characters as well, cloud, aeris, and sephiroth, but as you probably guessed, I like my tifa and sephiroth sculpture's the best, heh heh....

the spirits within would not have been that good anyway even if it would have been based on an existing ff game, can you seriously see an ff game crammed into a 2 hour film? didn't think so....

depends who the member is, they might have been joking....

this summer.....my baby daughter will be born, June Murad will see the light of day, it will be a good summer :)

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SuperSayian [/i] [B]Just go to a local Sun Coast or whatever it's called and look around there. And I do believe that the DBZ Store ships to the UK, but I'm not sure... [/B][/QUOTE] there is no sun coast in the UK, and no store in the UK sells dbz tapes, he will just have to order it online.... try ebay, they seem to have everything....

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cloud [/i] [B] [COLOR=indigo]Hope that cleared some things up ;) [/COLOR] [/B][/QUOTE] that's funny, I don't remember underlining "forbidden planet" in my post, lol :p [SIZE=1][color=indigo]Don't forget about the Italics! -Cloud[/color][/SIZE] I've began to think about doing another one of those ff funnies, but at the moment I cannot, not for a while anyway, you'll understand if you read my "banner request" thread in the art forum....

yeah, well thats what you get when you play a rushed game like ff9....

to be quite honest, I didn't really like the game, the whole story of "fog" has been done to death already, and I didn't really like the graphics either, the battle system was the only good part of the game....

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Solid Snake [/i] [B][color=teal]When comparing two fighting beauties like Tekken 4 and Virtua Fighter 4, I tend to lean towards Virtua Fighter 4 as most likely being the victor. I cannot fully say that it is better, because only those and Japan and named Sephiroth can say that they have played both on the Playstation 2. However, by testing the Tekken 4 arcade and owning Virtua Fighter 4 myself, I can tell that Virtua Fighter 4 is more challenging than Tekken 4, which some may translate to be better. Ok, so for Virtua Fighter 4 we see the controls as so-so. But with the controls so-so, we also notice how you cannot merely press bottons to win a match. You must use strategy to learn the moves and remember how to execute them quickly in battle. The latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly portrays my point perfectly:[/color] [color=teal]I have to admit, I was toppled my first time against the AI because I didn't releize that you must learn the moves clearly and perfectly before going out there and putting your talent against the best. With Tekken 4, however, I got along just fine by pressing bottons sometimes, and trying specific moves other times, both of which got me quite far. The one thing that will most likely change the fate of Tekken 4 and show the true winner of this battle, is the kind of mini-games and modes it will allow. I will be buying it, either way, but I am hoping a great improvement from Tekken 3, or it won't be worth the money. I mean to say, if Tekken 4 comes up with a mode that challanges that of Virtua Fight 4's Kumite mode, it could vastly improve it's popularity.[/color] :blah: [/B][/QUOTE] hmm, I guess I should make an update on my opinions of the two games about now.... simply put, BOTH games are awesome, these two are must have titles, I love tekken 4 for its in your face fighting style, and I love VF4 for how complicated its fighting is, both these games are much different fighting games in their own rights.... I've been playing VF4 a lot more than I use to, only disappointment is the lack of characters, having said that, tekken 4 also lacks characters, 19 characters, unless you count the "alternate" characters, like pressing X on christie will get you eddie, then we have a few more characters.... force mode is cool in T4, but kumite in VF4 just rules, heh, it's pretty damn addictive.... endings, T4 owns VF4 when it comes to endings, some of them are just so damn hilarious, *cough* Law *cough* ahem, anyway, thats all I have to say for now....oh, I still prefer tekken 4 by the way....

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by SSJ Gotenks ok [/i] [B]Theres gonna be a SOE movie?????:therock: [/B][/QUOTE] yeah, I believe I made a thread about it some time ago....

lets just hope the game is nothing like DB final bout....

great work james, now I can load up that avatar I wanted which was 4 pixels too big, lol....
