Rachmaninoff

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"] That and being a huge DBZ geek even now, it's cool to get to see more of Toriyama's character designs, even if doubtlessly with this rerelease, Rach will continue to associate me with Magus, heh. [/SIZE][/QUOTE]Well it was that obsession with DBZ you have that made me think of you. Besides, Magus is a cool character so it's not that bad to be associated with him. lol Anyway, if they keep releasing more games like this, I'll end up having to break down and actually get a DS. So I guess I should start saving for one so I'll have enough when it comes time for them to release it.

Bunny suits still pwn. =P I present [I]the original.[/I] [CENTER][IMG]http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/5338/haruhibunnysmol8.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER]

If you've watched Full Metal Panic... then you really need to watch[B] Full Metal Panic Fumoffu[/B]. It's one hundred percent totally insane and wacky. A couple of the episodes will just have you in stitches. Also, though it's more psychological than anything, [B]Gankutsuou - The Count of Monte Cristo[/B] is an excellent anime. The visuals take a little getting use to, but it's well worth it.

I pulled out my dual cd set of [B]Bach's The Well-tempered Clavier, Book II[/B]. No link this time. It's only got quite a bit of music on the two disks. Two and a half hours worth. I'm on disk one at the moment, when I finish that I'll pop in the second disk most likely. Oh and Allamorph... >_> Beth is right... Kill the music system at your job. [I][SIZE="1"]*shudder*[/SIZE][/I]

I would choose intelligence because if you aren't smart, you wouldn't be able to really appreciate beauty anyway. And by beauty I'm talking about more than just the shallow surface appearance that is often associated with being beautiful. Seriously though, not being able to see the beauty in so many ways and things would be like I had suddenly gone blind. I'd rather pass on that.

[quote name='Nerdsy'][color=deeppink]Oh, I forgot to mention... for frozen pizzas, nothing can beat Digourno's crust. Oh man, that stuff is heaven.[/color][/QUOTE]I'd agree with that, if you're going to have frozen, Digourno's is good.

[quote name='SunfallE'][COLOR="RoyalBlue"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"] My only disappointment was that it was too short, so it felt like they just tied up a few loose ends without really addressing the main two characters Jinto and Lafiel as well as I would have liked. [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]Same here, I finished this up and though it was nice to see, it just didn't really cover the deal between those two as well as I would have liked to see. It was interesting how the ending credits had [spoiler]notes on what each group was doing[/spoiler] but I would have liked to see that fleshed out instead of being done like that. Still as you said, it was still enjoyable, just too short for my tastes. I do like that they resolved the issue with Jinto and his [spoiler]home world[/spoiler] It was sad but I liked how they handled it.

I can see that Linnett is going to be rather interesting. Anyway, Allamorph is better at this than I am but these two spots are just a tiny bit awkward.[quote name='Raiha;816263][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]"How dare you attack your own flesh and blood. You stupid little bitch. Demanding an apology from your betters?!"[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]I imagine the first sentence is just because it needs a question mark or some form of emphasis. The second one feels like it either needs emphasis or to be tied to the last sentence instead of being separate.[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"][i]He kicked her and was immediately granted the satisfaction of a small yelp, the sound of Linnett's distress. She didn't scream again. The Voice had almost completely paralyzed her. But then it stopped, as Kai caught his father's eye and made a small motion with his left hand. Dynn turned away from his cringing daughter and reached down for his whip. Picking it up, he loosely coiled it, speaking with his normal voice. First to his daughter, and then to his sons.[/i][/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote]This is fine other than the very last sentence. I believe it's a fragment and though it's not a big deal, reading it just feels awkward. Anyway, I like the emotional overtones of Linnett seeking approval or perhaps respect.

I enjoy the rush from roller coaster rides and long hikes. But at the same time if I don't get to do anything that results in that adrenaline rush I'm fine with that too. I've thought about trying skydiving, but the more I think about it the more I'd rather not. Oh and though it wasn't a huge rush, going hot air ballooning several years ago was very thrilling. I wouldn't mind doing that again.

I?m not going to say that life will never be horrible, but at the same time I?m not going to say that it will be either. It will really depend on a lot of things so it could go either way. It?s a good idea to at least think about it to some degree since it will be important to develop good habits that will help you succeed at school and later on when you start working too. It is hard to see friends move on. Sometimes you?re able to keep in touch, other times you?re not able to. However, just as drifting apart is hard, the fun of making new friends tends to make it easier to adjust. Anyway, in general the real world is to some degree, what you make of it. Yes there are going to be things you can?t control, but at the same time your own hard work and determination can make all the difference. If you think it will be bad, it will be. But if you think it won?t be bad, it still might, but you?ll find yourself looking for ways to make things better. Make sense?

Lately harpsichord music has been what I find the most relaxing to listen to. So I am currently on this piece here: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiU8xQGr1yU"][U]Bach - Concerto for 3 Harpsichords in D minor[/U][/URL] I really like a number of these pieces by Bach that are either for two or three harpsichord's.

[quote name='Raiha'][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"] Give her enough space and a proper amount of what she deems as 'respect' and you will most likely go about your night without any unplanned injuries.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]I imagine if you don't give her what she considers respect, you won't live to see the next morning. XP Anyway... The others have already said it in different words, but it was a nice read and an interesting scene to see unfold. I'm curious to see where you go with it.

And here I was thinking it was cool to see that this thread had been posted in again. XP Well Gavin getting [strike]beaten[/strike] nailed was. He's had free reign as an Antediluvian for far too long on the boards. =P Anyway, I'd try to deny this but it sounds like people already think that Beth and I are guilty. XP So instead I'll just go and bang my head on my desk some more. [quote name='Aceburner'][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]And it's become quite obvious that the Love Shack joke is here to stay. I don't remember signing any documents saying you could quote me, though.[/FONT][/QUOTE]Aceburner, you joined the fanclub, by doing so, you gave Des full rights to quote and humiliate you whenever he feels like it. So, you're out of luck pal.

That looks sweet. Diablo is one of the only games like this that I even like so I've been hoping that they'd eventually make another one. I don't know why the site is listing a barbarian as a new class though. that option was available with the expansion pack for the last game. The witch doctor looks interesting though. I wonder what the other three will be since it says there will only be five classes. I'll be disappointed if there isn't some form of sorceress/sorcerer. Anyway, the graphics look great too. I just got through looking at the high res screen shots. Pity there is no estimate as to when the game will be released. XP

The submission limit was recently upped to three a day: [URL="http://www.theotaku.com/worlds/official/view/21638/submission_limit_jumps_to_three/"][U]Article[/U][/URL] So if it's not working for you, I'd leave a comment and let the staff know about it.

A life and death tournament makes any card game look like a pastime for kids. [CENTER][IMG]http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/4162/tournament2fl1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] That's the Dark Tournament for those of you not familiar with Yu Yu Hakusho.

[quote name='Vicky'][SIZE=1]Don't be lying sods now. [/SIZE][/QUOTE]In that case... I can't really post anything since I don't get high or drink. >_> I do have previous roomies who have gotten themselves into all sorts of trouble though. The one I remember most vividly is one who thought it would be a good idea to [spoiler]pee off the balcony and try to hit people below.[/spoiler] I did not feel sorry for him when he got arrested for that.

These girls are trying to figure out why you would even consider Kagome cool when she's so old news and overdone. Epic fail on your part. =P [CENTER][IMG]http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/272/notcoolfq2.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER]

I'm kind of iffy on this, I'm not thrilled that they picked Brendan Fraser or that many of the clips in the trailer look like they are trying to be funny. I am going to see it since I enjoyed the other one made back in 1959, but I'll be disappointed if they turned it into more of a comedy this time around. Anyway, perhaps I should pick up the book and read it, after I see the show of course, reading before seeing it is a sure way to have yourself going...I can't believe they left that or this out. XP

[quote name='Gavin;816012][SIZE="1"]Please also rest assured that I am not promoting gang activity in the United States through the use of certain coloured bandanas, as to be honest I find gangs by their nature to be quite juvenile. I prefer to support various military and political insurrections, as well as certain wars as the aftermath of these conflicts allows me to enter the newly established civilian markets and make a killing (pardon the pun)...I mean...Oh damn it...Members, please kindly wait inside your homes for my various goons to arrive and make you disappear for knowing too much...[/SIZE][/QUOTE]And we have confirmation that Gavin is indeed the mastermind behind the whole silly thing, the gangs are merely a front to hide his true activities. =P [quote name='Neptune;816028][COLOR="Navy"]I seriously thought this topic was going to be about gangs that have claimed their territory [B]in[/B] Wal-Mart. I was going to say ... I don't think I've ever heard nor seen that before, that would have been news to me.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] I changed your font and size for my quote, that choice of yours is a royal pain in the butt to read. >_> Anyway, that was my first thought when I saw the thread and it had me going... what? But it turned out to be something else which as I said before isn't something that would make a difference as far as gang activity goes.[QUOTE=CrimsonKnight'][COLOR="DarkOrange"']to be serious, though. i honestly think reducing the seling of red or blue bandanas would reduce the gang activity.[/COLOR][/quote]As Allamorph said, why? What reasoning or thought process brings you to this conclusion? Why do you think it would actually make a difference?

[quote name='Sabrina'][FONT="Tahoma"]Anyway, I guess we just need to decide how to go from here.^^ *wonders who should be next and so forth*[/FONT][/QUOTE]Just do like the rest of us do, wing it. I often have no clue how things are going to turn out until I start writing. I may have a general idea, but it's interesting how that often ends up being something else once I actually start working on the post. It's easy enough to make minor edits if necessary later on, so don't feel that you have to always talk with us first before posting.

[QUOTE][FONT=Arial]I feel I should point out, even though I'm sure most people got this, that the array deployed by the [I]Chevalier[/I] self-destructed completely, so no traces of it have been left behind. I think it would be slightly out of character for a division as dedicated to precision as Sauvage's to leave little pieces of themselves laying about for anyone to find. Well, okay, [I]more[/I] than slightly. :p[/FONT][/QUOTE]That's what I assumed, since it's not that hard to set things up to self-destruct. So based on what you are saying, they went for the overkill [[SIZE="1"]using more explosives than normally needed[/SIZE]] to ensure that no debris was left behind. =P The more you post and comment, the more the group sounds like your kind of operation. No detail is too small to be overlooked. Though for a group like that to be successful, that kind of dedication would be necessary. Anyway as Aaryanna already said, the bit with the door was very cool. The way you wrote it made it easy to visualize too.

Leave it to Allamorph to correct someone over what instrument they are using. *laughs* I probably would have done the same though. Anyway, music played for the purpose it was intended instead of as a tasteless weapon wins. Plus, it's a cello, automatic win. =P [CENTER][IMG]http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/8746/celloplayerpr3.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER]

I think the smell depends on the tea. Most of what I've had hasn't had an unpleasant aroma. Some have been a little sweet smelling. Most have just been pretty mild really. I'm not a big fan of tea, but I do like to have raspberry tea every now and then.
