The Spectacular Professor

Speaking of old threads that are part of our rich and glorious history, why hasn't our dns server been changed to [spoiler].[I]ninja[/I][/spoiler] yet?

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]The molestation of Star Wars by Caramelldansen demands retribution...or at least something awesome involving lightsabers. ^_^ [YOUTUBE="Ryan vs. Dorkman"]8NE5elL30w4[/YOUTUBE][/SIZE][/QUOTE] And for the sake of completion: [YOUTUBE="Part 2"]-is63goeBgc[/YOUTUBE] By the way, I notice Dorkman's kind of cocky in that first one. he had his left hand behind his back most of the fight. Showoff.

Publicity: Now there's a headscratcher. First off, we take all we know about the subject and lay it out in the open: 1: Publicity is basically giving something attention. 2: Like anything, publicity can be good or bad (beneficial or damaging to your reputation.) 3: Too much of anything is bad, and the same goes for publicity. 4: Publicity can raise awarenes, or just get on your last nerve. 5: Both Britney Spears and Mahatma Ghandi have recieved huge amounts of publicity. From each point above one thing becomes very clear: Publicity is a mixed bag. There are times when it helps, such as raising awareness of an issue like high crime rates. Likewise, it can destroy indiscriminately. for example, Britney spears, who has thrust herself into the public eye in desperate bids for attention so many times that some speculate her life may be in danger. Therefore, I am somewhat neutral on the issue. while I think publicity has its uses, I am dead set against its abuse, such as people making spectacles of themselves for attention or papparazzi followng people every minute of every day and destroying their privacy in order to develop a 2 page tabloid story about how they gained 3 pounds.

[quote name='8bit'][FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"][b]EDIT:[/b] Alright, it should be the right size now. I also added a couple touch-ups. Let me know if you want anything changed or a matching avatar or something.. Enjoy! ^o^ [/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE] Excellent! Thanks!

[quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]The game must really hate me then. It's rare that I can get through a five minute match without tripping. :animesigh[/color][/QUOTE] I find that the easiest way to avoid tripping is to stay airborne whenever possible. Which is probably why I get destroyed so easily...

[quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]The coattails are still visible 'cause they just overlaid Miku on top of Neo. And Miku's skirt is too short to cover them. :p[/color][/QUOTE] I know. I thought it was funny is all. And yes, Allamorph. I play trombone. And it's pretty sweet being a Sophomore section leader, which I also am.:animesmil

[quote name='indifference'][COLOR="Indigo"]Hehe, you know you don't mean it. :p After all, Desbreko is the one who keeps showing me these fantastic videos, like this one:[/COLOR][/QUOTE] Curses, foiled again.. Like Allamorph said, though. The true awesome pretty much kicked in when the leek appeared. And I kinda like how Neo's coattails were still there despite his absence.

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT="Arial"][B]Otakulypse[/B] Officially, anyway. theOtaku.com has had three.[/FONT][/QUOTE] Thank you, oh wise and powerful awesome one. I will remember this term. Seriously, I had no idea there was a term already in place...

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"]Not at all seriously though, I can't wait to see what Des has planned...so long at least as he doesn't turn the entire boards into one giant Caramelldansen video. *Shudders*[/SIZE][/QUOTE] Gavin, I respect and admire you, but [I]shut up before you start an Otakulypse.[/I]:rolleyes:

[quote name='indifference'][COLOR="Indigo"][YOUTUBE="Star Wars"]g0dIpYw75jA[/YOUTUBE][/COLOR][/QUOTE] Indi, I'm never clicking anything you post ever again, you hooligan. Sabrina just won the internet for a good 30 minutes (I'm a trombone, you should see our sheet for Pomp & Circumstance, which we have to play for 3 years in a row during graduation.) And since I found it, Here's Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Movie in full. enjoy it while you can, because Youtube likes to randomly take down Anime-related stuff even if it doesn't infringe copyrights. [YOUTUBE="Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Movie"]u9-3mzm9MEw[/YOUTUBE]

Here's a whole storyboard for you. [URL="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/darlaka/snapshot20070209125710.jpg"]Part 1[/URL] [URL="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/darlaka/snapshot20070209192316.jpg"]Part 2[/URL] [URL="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/darlaka/snapshot20070209192328.jpg"]Part 3[/URL] [URL="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/darlaka/snapshot20070209192416.jpg"]Bonus content.[/URL]

[quote name='8bit'][FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Okay, I know you said to use Ace instead of Aceburner but I felt like the burner part was necessary to fill out the banner more. If you are going to use this banner and you want it changed to just Ace, I can do that.[/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE] Nah, it's fine. Looks awesome! Thanks! EDIT: Ack! It's too big! If it's not too much trouble, could you resize it?

You know, DB, of all your options, that was the last username I ever thought you'd resurface under. Recently, I've been listening to the Ace Attorney soundtracks and trace amounts of jPop along with whatever else I come across on the internet and some Rolling Stones. Gotta have the Stones.

Well, it's pretty impressive, at least. [URL="http://www.unfungames.com/mariopaint/"][COLOR="Blue"][u]Here's a link to the website.[/u][/color][/URL] It's masically a music maker based off the one found in the game Mario Paint, except much more advanced and less laggy. People can get pretty crazy with this thing. For example: [YOUTUBE="A-Ha: Take on Me"]vTMp8iepyb0[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE="Legend of Zelda Theme"]tYVoC_9UMpY[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE="Rick Astley: Never Gonna Give You Up"]5uZr3JWYdy8[/YOUTUBE] (By the way, you've just been Rick Rolled.) [YOUTUBE="Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers"]4FO9L9QVCpg[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE="Tay Zonday: Chocolate Rain"]1asx4jz0KgI[/YOUTUBE] And my personal favorite: [YOUTUBE="Portal Ending Theme: Still Alive"]0Lo6uXwi4M0[/YOUTUBE] So there it is. Discuss this program. Talk about your favorite songs remade on it, discuss whether or not you like it or even make your own music on it if you feel so inclined (actually you should totally do that. It'd be awesome.) I'm currently working on a rendition of the Steel Samurai theme from the Ace Attorney series. My Laptop is incapacitated, however (adapter cord frayed too much. getting a new one,) so I won't be working on it for another week or so. I've got most of the main theme down for now. If I am successful in completing this, I may do more. I'm not entirely sure what yet, though. Also, there is one downside to this program. Every time you close it, it leads you to the creator's webpage to advertise a (somewhat boring) MMO. No big deal, though. (Mods: I put this thread here because it is about a remake of part of a video game. If you want to shift it to the Ampitheater, feel free.)

Hey, this thread's still here. Guess I should just post this: [URL="http://www.yugiohtheabridgedseries.com/"]Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Website[/URL] It's down right now, but in the meantime, Marick and his Evil Council of Doom are up to their usual shenanigans. Now with 400% more evil teddy bear!

[quote name='Rachmaninoff']Thanks a lot Sabrina, for reviving this thread. Man, and here this thing had finally dropped off the front page... I'm beginning to think that this prank is going to haunt me forever. I can see that I should have included[I] banging my head on my desk[/I] as one of my activities for Valentines Day in the thread I started on it. XP[/QUOTE] If the pattern keeps up, I'd hate to be you next Tuesday, Rach. I'll be severely disappointed if Des's shenanigans don't kick in full throttle for April Fool's, though.

Okay, so here's the deal. I've been staring at my sig for a while and I'm beginning to think it's a piece of crap. I don't really like it that much anymore, and I want to replace it. Now, on to business. What I want is a signature for Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Specifically, I want this picture: [URL="http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2007/233/930506_20070822_screen019.jpg"]link.[/URL] All I really want are the first 3 characters on the right, but if you want to work in some of the others, it's fine. Other than that, see if you can mess around with the background a little and if you put my name on it, just use "Ace." Also, try to make it say something cool. The rest is up to you. Thanks in advance!

I just checked my stats, and I was there when this happened. How did I miss such an epic thread? I should at least read it, I guess.

[quote name='Aaryanna'][COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I've only hear the English version, which by the way I do not like. XP This sounds much better really, seems far more fitting for the show. And while we are here, another song I really like is this one:[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] I'm going to assume that you mean this English version: [YOUTUBE="One Piece 4Kids Rap"]2OrMqQP_oDk[/YOUTUBE] Which is basically a mess of bad lyrics, bad singers, an annoying beat and overall poor musical direction, because here's their current opening since they switched hands: [YOUTUBE="One Piece English Opening 2: "Toward the Light""]Dx49V3BuHjI[/YOUTUBE] Which fits the show to a T. It's upbeat, catchy, the lyrics capture the essence of the show nicely (it's almost a direct translation of the original song, after all) and it's sung by Vic Mignonga, One of their best voice actors as well as an awesome singer an all around great guy (from what I hear.) Of course, if you did mean that one, that's fine, it just shows that we have different musical tastes, since it's another of my favorite anime songs.:) EDIT: [quote name='chibi-master']WOW! You're right! That Pretear opening was great!:animesmil Now, as for the One Piece opening, I'm sorry, Aceburner, I guess it was just not my kind of song.:animeswea But I do admire your dedication to One Peice.(Heck, you even defended it in the worst anime thread.) So please don't start beating down on my head, okay. Well, here goes:[/QUOTE] No worries! I'm not going to start attacking someone for having different musical tastes than me. The only reason I defend it so vehemently in the Worst Anime thread is that most if not all of the people who named it in there have probably only seen the 4Kids dub of the show which is, in the nicest terms possible, an unfair representation of the original. I just think that people should know the whole story before jumping to conclusions.

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]Dunno if this counts, but I just saw a[nother] Digimon/Yu-Gi-Oh! ripoff airing on Toonami ([I]of ALL PLACES!![/I]) called [B]Bakugan Battle Brawlers[/B].[/FONT][/QUOTE] Yep, and guess what timeslot it's filling until CN realizes how much it sucks (Not that they will, considering the fact that we're talking about a channel that thought [B]Out of Jimmy's Head[/B] was a good idea, but feel free to guess anyway.) [B]One Piece[/B], of course, because heaven forbid [B]Naruto[/B] loses one of their 2 timeslots, especially in the middle of the biggest string of idiotic fillers ever. Ace is an unhappy panda.

[quote name='Aaryanna'][COLOR="goldenrod"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]How about you tell us why you like them? What makes them your favorites? ^_~ Simply listing them is kind of bland and doesn't really tell us much.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] I can help shed a little light on one of those songs. Here is the first entry: [YOUTUBE="One Piece Opening 6: "Brand New World" by D-51"]7Xr36cysodg[/YOUTUBE] Simply irresistable. Best opening any show has ever had, in my opinion. Upbeat, catchy and really gets you pumped for what's about to happen in the next 30 minutes. I always try to keep a copy of this song lying around somewhere in my hard drive. It's that good.

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"][CENTER][YOUTUBE="OB Terrorist Song"]Or3TrUDkBdE[/YOUTUBE][/CENTER] @ Aceburner, nice caption.[/SIZE][/QUOTE] Thank you. And I'm sure the counter-terrorist unit can't wait until you all die and discover that most of your 72 virgins are covered in acne and sit around playing World of Warcraft all day.:p I guess it's time to hook you people up with some Weegee.
