[font="Comic Sans MS"]I just finished this amazing anime series and wanted to see if there were any other fans of the show on these here boards. The first couple of episodes of the show are great, but then the next few seem like filler. [spoiler]By episode 11, the show completely changes everything you thought you had already figured out.[/spoiler] I don't want to go into too much detail yet in case other people need to watch the series, but it really is fantastic and worth at least one watch. The visuals are beautiful and the story is woven together really well. Here is a synopsis of the show, taken from Wikipedia, and spoiler-tagged because it gives away just a few plot details: "[spoiler]The story revolves around Maya, the daughter of the former Headmaster of Waldstein Academy, and a time traveling agent Fumiaki Uchida. In the year 2012, the world had been invaded by aliens and time travelers were sent back to the year 1999 in order to find and destroy the Nostradamus Key, which Nostradamus Prophecy foretold as what would bring about the apocalypse. The series then turns to the year 1999, where Maya returns to the Academy with the intention of destroying the Academy by superseding her late father's position as the principal. Her plan was interrupted when she meets Fumiaki and learns of the forthcoming destruction. Despite being distrusting towards Fumiaki, they form a pact to look for the Nostradamus Key. In order to find the Nostradamus Key, time agents were provided with specially created cell phones. When a user finds an object of interest, by thinking of destroying it and taking a photo, and if the resulting image is that of a peaceful world, then the subject is the Nostradamus Key. Conversely, if the subject is not the Nostradamus Key, then the photo displays destruction. By using the phone, Maya and Fumiaki investigates occult occurrences as they occur in the town.[/spoiler]" Seriously, watch this, then let's discuss.[/font]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]I haven't logged into OtakuBoards in a long, long time. Everything is so different, it's going to take some getting used to. Hi everyone! :3[/font]

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="2"]You guys might already know this, but you can watch every Brotherhood episode that's come out so far on Hulu. Usually they only have five episodes of a series up at a time, but for some reason they have all of FMA on there. Neat.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]I haven't really been listening to any one group in particular; I usually listen to whatever my mp3 player plays on shuffle. I do have some favorites though. [B]Green Light - John Legend feat. Andre 3000[/B] This song is just so undeniably cool. I really can't describe it. If you're into R & B, you definitely have to give this song a listen if you already haven't. It's most fun when played while racing on the Rainbow Road track in Mario Kart 64. [B]The Theft - Atreyu[/B] Atreyu is mostly known as being a hardcore metal band, well, at least they used to be. Their new album [I]Lead Sails Paper Anchor[/I] is a little more chill than the others have been, but it's not exactly my cup of tea. The Theft is on one of Atreyu's older CD's, and is actually a pretty mellow song in itself. It's one of my favorite songs by the band. I've been listening to a lot of [B]Sublime[/B] and [B]Dispatch[/B] lately as well. For anyone that hasn't heard Dispatch before, do yourself a favor and Youtube them or something. Particularly the song [B]General[/B] or anything off the album Elias. They're kind of like a modern version of the Grateful Dead ... but not exactly. It's hard to explain. You'll see what I mean.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]Man, I've been playing so many games since I've been home for the summer. College is a *****. Anyways, I can't get a summer job because I'll be gone for a month visiting families and such, so I've put most of my times into friends and games. I've been playing the crap out of [B]Resident Evil 5[/B]. I've already beaten it, but now I'm trying to go for that wonderful Pro Mode trophy. It pretty much sucks. I've also been playing[B] Metal Gear Solid 4[/B] again; I realized that I never actually beat the game. I'm ashamed. I'm still trying to beat[B] Persona 3: FES[/B]. It's not that I can't do it, it's just that the amount of time you have to put into that game is ridiculous. Luckily, it's one of the best RPG's I've played in a long time, so I don't really mind. [/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]I've been watching the show Lost lately. I watched the entire first season, and then skipped to season five to stay current. It's pretty swell. I just want to say how much I hate [I]required [/I] one credit college classes. They are a gigantic waste of time!! Anyone else feel this way? Oh, one more thing: Bruce Lee > Chuck Norris[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]It's been four years since a thread for this game was made, I figured it'd be alright to make a new one. This game releases tonight at midnight at most stores. I forgot that it was coming out tomorrow, so I went to try and pre-order the game today. The employee at GameCrazy gave me that kind of "are you stupid" look and told me that you can't pre-order a game that day of its release ... although, it's coming out tomorrow. Whatever. So is anyone else going to get the game tonight or in the near future? I know that I'm pretty pumped to play it, even though from the demo I know that it's basically going to be RE4 with better graphics. It wouldn't really bother me all that much if they didn't reuse the animations for the enemies; they could have at least created some new ones. On the other hand, who's not excited for the release? I can see why a lot of die-hard Resident Evil fans hate the new games, as they have been more leaning towards action/adventure rather than survival horror. I've been a Resident Evil fan since I was little, so RE4 was a big difference in the series for me. I don't hate RE4, I think that it's a great game, I just wish that they would make another RE more in the vain of REmake. What characters do you think will be in Mercenaries? Unfortunately, I've already accidentally stumbled upon them, but I won't ruin it for anyone. Which characters do you want to be in the DLC for Mercenaries, provided that they are even going to do that. I'm rooting for Barry! "It's really powerful, especially against ... living things." EDIT: Got the game, waiting for the installation to finish (PS3!!). I'll give my opinions tomorrow.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"][B]1.) Live a long life, but start losing your memory and your ability to do things on your own or live a short life but live it independently until your death?[/B] I'd rather live a shorter life in this case. A longer life that wasn't as fulfilling just wouldn't be worth it in my opinion. Even if you want to be around longer for your family, you're most likely going to just make things harder for them. [B]2.) Have your acts of public drunkenness captured and broadcast on Youtube or have your most intimate moments broadcast on Veoh?[/B] I'd rather have my drunkenness all over Youtube, although both options aren't all that appealing. As far as I know, people know about Youtube way more than Veoh, making it less likely that I would ever be caught. [B]3.) Find the most perfect guy/girl ever go on a few dates and find out that he/she is a cousin of yours or become the new Naked Cowboy of Bourbon Street?[/B] It would be really weird to have a hardcore crush on one of your cousins, but I mean, it's not unheard of. I guess I'd rather accidentally date one of my cousins a few times rather than be the Naked Cowboy. Yeah, I know, I can't believe my answer either. [B]4.) Would you rather meet one OBer of your choice and get the chance to meet them once a year for the rest of your life or meet a different OBer once a year every year for the rest of your life?[/B] I would rather meet the same OBer once a year for the rest of my life, provided that I actually enjoy their company, ha. I'm a sucker for friendships, and if I were to meet different OBers every year and never see them again, I'd be upset. Rather just not know what I'm missing. [B]5.) Would you rather eat 5 rotten cheese slices or lick a dirty toilet?[/B] 5 rotten cheese slices. Next question. [B]6.) Would you rather die quickly without having a chance to say goodbye to family and friends OR would you rather die a slow, painful death but having the chance to say goodbye to family and friends?[/B] I'd rather die a slow, painful death and get to say goodbye to my family members. That kind of closure is important for people about to lose someone important to them. Unfortunately, you usually don't get that chance. [B]7.) Would you rather make out with your brother/ sister or be tongue kissed in the mouth by your dog?[/B] Dog, hands down. It happens all the time already on accident, it wouldn't really be that gross. If anything, my dog would be cleaning my mouth. [U]New Questions[/U] [B]1. We're all mature here. Would you rather eat a cup of diarrhea or be put up to your neck in period blood for half an hour? Yeah, kind of gross, I know. [/B] [B]2. If you had to choose between being either deaf or blind, which would you choose?[/B][/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]There are so many different kinds of candy I enjoy ... it's hard to pick favorites. It's like asking someone to choose their favorite child. ... good thing I don't have any children. My favorite candy would probably have to be Ferrero Rocher, those little chocolate balls filled with nuts and more chocolatey goodness. [SIZE="1"](That's what she said.)[/SIZE] My second favorite candy of all-time is probably Nerds. Pretty much anything to do with Nerds, Nerds rope, Nerds boxes, Nerds coffee. Oh, wait, what? No such thing as Nerds coffee? Try it. The rush will be enormous.[/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"]My roommate and I have been going back and and forth with these silly questions, and the answers we come up with are usually entertaining enough for a good conversation. So, without further anticipation, here are some "Would you rather..?" questions. 1. Would you rather be a dragon or Superman? 2. Would you rather have no arms or no legs? 3. Would you rather never be able to listen to music again, or would you rather never have sex again? These are just a few of the questions we came up with. I'd love to answer right now, but I'd rather get some unbiased answers to start with. In my opinion, only one of the questions has a definitive answer, or, rather, only one answer seems the most logical. Obviously, a little explanation of your answer would be appreciated. Enjoy![/FONT]

[FONT="Garamond"][SIZE="2"]Lately I've been playing a lot of DS games because I realized that I've missed out on so many gems. Right now I'm spending my time between [B]Phoenix Wright[/B], [B]Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow[/B], and [B]Elite Beat Agents[/B]. On the console side of things, I'm still working on[B] Fallout 3[/B] and [B]GTA IV[/B]. Being in college and all, it's been hard to find time to play these great games. I have noticed that I play [B]Mario Kart 64[/B] way more than anything else now though. Shake and bake! When it comes out, I'm definitely going to be all about [B]Resident Evil 5[/B]. Even though I'm not entirely happy with the way the series is progressing, it's hard to deny that the RE games are still loads of fun. I can't wait to see whether or not the creators are finally going to incorporate Barry again. I guess we'll see. It's really powerful, especially against ... living things![/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial Narrow"][SIZE="2"][COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]Heh, I'm bored, let's get this ball rolling. [B]Suikoden 2[/B] - I missed out on this game when it first came out because I was too busy playing Final Fantasy 8, plus, I was like, 9. Luckily my dad found it in in some abandoned house while he was working and gave the game to me. This game has epic battles, a great storyline, an insane amount of characters to fight with, and much, much more. If any of you have missed this game I'd recommend trying to pick it up somewhere, it truly is one of the greats. [B]Metal Gear Solid 4[/B] - How does Hideo Kojima create epic game after game after game about one person's struggle to survive without keeping the story stale? Drugs. Well actually, I'm not really sure. While I wish the game had somewhat more gameplay in it than the cutscenes, the gameplay you do get is pretty much awesome, as are the cutscenes, some of the most gorgeous and well thought out scenes I've ever watched in a game. Solid Snake's story is wrapped up perfectly in one of the best games out for any system at this point and time, depending on your tastes. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial Narrow"][COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]I bottle all of my stress up. Healthy? Definitely not. I don't recommend it. And as for gamer rage, I have that too. I get mad playing certain games like Soul Calibur 3, they make me want to throw things. So that's why I have two broken PS2 controllers. Sucks. I try to brush everything off like it's no big deal. I don't get emotional often, and when I do it's well worth it. I don't waste my emotions on trivial things, well, besides breaking controllers I suppose. But that's not what this topic is about, is it? You want to know good ways to relieve stress. Well, I usually cook up some popcorn, kick it back in the recliner and pop in my favorite movie or television show. If I surround myself with things I like I usually calm down real easily. No big. Maybe it'd work for you.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT="Arial Narrow"][COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]I voted for Boo's signature because it's visually appealing to me and I really think that the character in the signature expresses the statement the signature is trying to convey. Or maybe it's because I've been really bored all day and the signature pretty much expresses how I've felt all day. Holla.[/COLOR] [/FONT]
