The Spectacular Professor

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Eh, I've eaten an ant once. I still prefer good ol' cow. [/FONT] [quote name='Aaryanna'][COLOR="DarkGreen"][FONT="Book Antiqua"]Every time I see my silly dog eat a spider or something else crawling around outside... I just cringe. I suppose if I had no choice I would, but... yeah. No thanks. [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Actually, that's a common misconception. You see, spiders are actually classified as arachnids. Therefore, eating one is not the same as eating an insect. *shot, stabbed, mugged and beaten* *in that order* In other news, I could get used to this Comic Sans thing.[/FONT] EDIT: [quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]Hey, it worked for John the Baptist. :p[/FONT][/QUOTE] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"]And look where that got him. On a silver platter minus most of him.:p Okay, fine. That was for a completely different reason.[/FONT]

[quote name='Darren']Do you have a link to that quote? I'm not saying she didn't say it, but since it seems that I'm the only Clinton supporter, I would just like to see for myself.[/QUOTE] It's not a direct quote, more of a generalization. However, check DeathKnight's post.

Besides the fact that I haven't really been rooting for her since the start of this thing, Clinton's really starting to make herself look like some kind of abrasive racist crap-talking jerk of late. "Oh, well JFK was assassinated. If the same thing happens to Obama, who else could step in?" Seriously, Hillary?

[B]Anthology master, beaten at own game.[/B] This is fun.

About the font preferences: [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Red"]I am now announcing my change to Comic Sans in order to tick people off.[/COLOR][/FONT]

Or, in plain English: What style of food from what country is your favorite? As for me, Italian is number one. Give me good plate of shrimp fettuccine and some garlic bread any day. Good old fashioned spaghetti is also a great dish. Mostly any Italian dish I've ever tried I liked. I also like Mexican. A good taco or burrito is a wonderful thing. Just make sure the salsa is fresh. I can't stand that canned or jarred stuff. Sushi is good too, but too expensive to make a habit of eating. So, how about you?

[B]Holy crap, this is quite difficult.[/B] Eh, I'll try again later.

First thing's first: [center][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/unmei_shinpai/UPG02-1.png[/IMG][/center] [SIZE="1"]Special thanks to the ever awesome sakurasuka for the new logo.[/SIZE] [center][SIZE="3"][B]Part 2[/B][/SIZE] [B]July 21st, 2014 10:00 A.M. District Court Defendant’s Lobby No. 1[/B][/center] “How’s it look, Ace?” Prem sounded worried. “I think we’re okay. Even if we can’t get you off today, I can probably at least prolong the investigation.” “That’s a little comforting, at least. “ “Well, it all hinges on whether or not Chibi can get back in time with that thing I ordered.” Prem glanced at the door worriedly. “I don’t know about you, but she isn’t exactly here right now.” “She’ll be here,” said Ace. “I hope.” [center][B]July 21st, 2014 10:15 A.M. District Court Courtroom No. 1[/B][/center] “All rise! Court is now in session!” Ace looked at the Prosecutor’s desk. Gavin Zeitgiest. This guy was a legend! It was said he only ever lost a case when he felt like it. Ace hoped it was one of those days. “Ack! Sorry I’m late, Ace!” Chibi had just rushed in, panting heavily. “Here’s that thing you wanted.” “Oh, good. You got it,” said a relieved Ace. “Seriously, what do you want with this? This is no time to be catching up on your manga!” “Watch and learn, I have a plan!” The Judge gestured towards the Prosecutor’s desk. “Prosecutor Zeitgiest, your opening statement, please.” Gavin addressed the Jury. “Ladies and gentlemen of the Jury, we’re no strangers to love. You know the rules, and so do I. A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of. You wouldn’t get this from any other guy. I just want to tell you how I’m feeling. Gotta make you understand. Never gonna give-” “Alright, that’s quite enough,” stated the Judge, banging her gavel, “If you’re done having your bit of fun at everyone’s expense, you may call your first witness.” “Yes, Your Honor. The Prosecution calls forth Mr. Joseph Haku.” Joey approached the stand. “Name and occupation, witness,” stated Gavin. “Joseph Haku. As for my occupation-” “You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor!” “Umm… no. Actually, I’m a prince.” “And how did you come to be in that position?” inquired Ace. “I’ll tell you. Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside-down and I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there. I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air! In West Philadelphia, born and raised. On the playground was where I spent most of my days. Chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool and just-” “Yes, we get the joke, Mr. Haku,” sighed the Judge, “next musical outburst had better be extremely amusing or the perpetrator will be in contempt.” This was going to be a very long trial. [SIZE="1"]There. Not quite as long as I had anticipated, but I fulfilled my obligation and you no longer have permission to eat Prem. Hear that, Indi? Put the torch and pitchfork down![/SIZE]

[quote name='Panache']Well when I first started posting I really didn't post anything that was worth reading. It wasn't spell checked[B],[/B] the grammar was atrocious and it was all very useless information overall. My posts are still not worth reading but at least [B]their[/B] a bit more tidy![/QUOTE] I'm Ace. I will be your spelling, grammar and irony checker for the evening. Okay, I'm done. I'm sorry. Couldn't help it. EDIT: And there I go forgetting to capitalize an "I."

All I remember is a bunch of 4Kids bashing for my first few posts. Then I dropped some spoilers and nearly got myself banned. Luckily, all it really amounted to was some minor [strike]beating with a leek[/strike] modding by Indi and R2VQ, who was still a Mod at the time. I like to think I've gotten a little more mature since then, but we all know how I love my shenanigans.

I'll just drop my little opinion in a nutshell and be done with it. I don't see the point. I can't fathom how legalizing it would make the world a better place, I don't wanna have to walk through someone else's crap-smelling gas cloud on my way to a movie and I really don't understand why people would ever want to get into the stuff in the first place. Thus ends my opinion. Thus ends my involvement in this thread.

I've tried the cheese kind. I think I ended up dumping it down the drain. I don't like wasting food very often, but I can make exceptions (no offense to those who like it.)

w00t! Thanks! I'll put it up tomorrow with the next part of the story.

I enjoy ramen. I'm not obsessed, but it's pretty darn tasty. My favorite flavor is actually Shrimp. I tend to prepare my ramen by boiling the noodles, then draining the water. After that, I just directly season the noodles. It's like injectig sodium directly into your veins, though, so I tend to not eat ramen very often and when I do, I keep a nice, tall glass of milk handy. Or soda. That's good too.

[quote name='KimmehWolfwood'][SIZE="2"][FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Navy"]Then why did they tell him it was [B]Riva[/B]? With a [I][B]V[/B][/I]...[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/QUOTE] I was gonna go to work, But then I got high...

Alright, here I go. [B]Lunar Knights[/B]: This one's the hidden gem of the DS. It's got a decent story, plus you can just waste away hours dungeon crawling and hacking, slashing and shooting at zombies and vampires. Great time-waster. Made by the Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear guy. [B]Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon[/B]: If you've payed Harvest Moon, you know what this is. You run around, raise a farm, hit on girls, chat up the locals, and run around dungeons killing stuff. Wait, what? Yeah, you fight monsters. You can even capture them and raise them as livestock. [B]The Ace Attorney series[/B]: These are just way too addictive. You'd think playing a video game as a lawyer would totally suck, but that assessment couldn't be more wrong. [B]Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass[/B]: This one's a bit iffy. If you've played Zelda and you come in looking for an epic journey filled with wonder, excitement, difficulty and a breathtaking storyline, keep moving. If you just want something that's easy to pick up and darn fun to play, this is for you. [B]Animal Crossing DS[/B]: I honestly don't play this one very much anymore. It's just not as much fun without online play and my modem hates the game for some reason. If you want to relax and just wander around collecting stuff, though, this is a good game. [B]Mario Kart DS[/B]: You know the deal. It's Mario Kart. It's fun. Play it. [B]Final Fantasy III[/B]: If you're expecting a super epic awesome storyline, this isn't it. The original game was made back in the NES era, so it's pretty run-of-the-mill. However, the real worth of the game lies in the Job system, which is really fun to mess around with, and the overall difficulty, though I understand it's been slightly toned down from the original. It also boasts some impressive graphics and an amazing opening cutscene. Watch out when saving, though. Some moron messed with that more than it needed to be messed with. [B]Digimon World: Dusk/Dawn[/B]: This is more of a niche game, but if you like the breed and battle stuff like Pokèmon, you'll probably enjoy this. The real fun comes with the fact that you can reverse-evolve your monsters, making them potentially stronger than before. Their stats can rise even higher the next time they evolve. As for Pearl, The main part of the game is pretty forgettable and there are only one or two Pokèmon added to this gen that are worth remembering at all. The real fun comes from the online aspects of that one. [SIZE="1"]Man, Gallade is awesome, though...[/SIZE] [B]EDIT:[/B] [quote name='Sandy']I'm iffy about the Phoenix Wright games. They seem fun enough, but they also seem very short and limited. I've read that each game has about six cases to solve. In hours that must be something like twelve, am I correct? I'll rather spend my money on something that'll keep me entertained for weeks rather than a few days.[/QUOTE] The first and third have 5 cases to solve each. The second and fourth have 4. However, you're seriously underestimating the amount of time you spend on the cases. The first case of every game is basically a courtroom tutorial. They last on average probably about an hour to an hour and a half. All the other cases (except case 4 of game 3, which is pretty much just one courtroom segment as a prologue to case 5) have 2 phases: courtroom and investigation. On average, you go through both twice per case, though 3 cases in game 1 have you doing them 3 times each. each segment takes about an hour or longer, I'd say. So... Game 1: 1.5+4+6+6+6=23.5 hours Game 2: 1.5+4+4+4=13.5 hours Game 3: 1.5+4+4+1+4=14.5 hours Game 4: 1.5+4+4+5(MASON System, which is confusing enough to take up a lot of time)= 14.5 hours Of course, it really doesn't matter. Each game is worth every penny and more because of the amazing storylines, witty writing and hilarious pop culture references. Not to mention how satisfying is it to watch every maniac you corner sweating bullets on the witness stand.

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]I will now kill the person who told me "Riza" was incorrect.[/FONT][/QUOTE] I can think of one reason they may have told you that. I once read a translation where they called her "Elizabeth." I assumed that it had something to do with the Japanese L/R swap thing, though. Maybe it's supposed to be "Liza." I still call her Riza, though. Since that's how it's been officially translated and all. Anyway, thanks to a recent chapter, my new uncontested favorite character is Black Hayate, Hawkeye's dog. Roy Mustang coming in second.

Got me mah new FUNi One Piece DVD's. I love this show. It's even better now that I have a decent dub of it. No hammer guns, emotion in voices, blood retained, minor swearing. It's great! Too bad it ends halfway through the Kuro arc, though. Ah, well. I'll just wait for Second Voyage. Hope it doesn't take too long.

[quote name='haku877']Ace, understand not all americans know what Onigiri is, but i see your point[/QUOTE] So it's better to conceal the fact that other countries exist rather than expose children to different cultures at the risk of slight confusion?:p

[quote name='Cleptomatic']I'm new here to and new to a forum community but who can turn down ice cream even from a complete stranger?[/QUOTE] I forgot I made that offer. Well, I don't really have enough money to treat everyone to ice cream, but I made some peanut brittle, if that helps. [IMG]http://altopower.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/peanut_brittle_9273.jpg[/IMG] Sorry about the ice cream. Dig in.

[/COLOR][/QUOTE] That settles it. Indi is now a kitty. And Chibi, I'd personally rather be the floor.

[quote name='Indi'][COLOR="Indigo"]If that were to happen Aceburner, Gavin would probably go and start a new forum for OB members and then rule it with an iron fist. Or at least [I]attempt [/I]to.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] Nah, I'd beat him to it. This thread is now about cats (just practicing.)

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]If OB closed permanently tomorrow, would I miss people ? Even if it sounds silly or sentimental, yeah, I definitely would miss some of the people I've gotten to know here.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] This place will probably never die. Even if the network gets shut down, there's still the Clone and AIM to deal with.
