[SIZE="1"]It severely irritates me when people either try to look at the psoriasis on my forehead without making it obvious they're doing so and fail miserably, or those who outright ask "What's that on your face ?" without the slightest bit of courtesy or manners. [/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]I'm one of those people who can't stand any lights or noise on in a room while I sleep so unless I happen to be downloading a bunch of stuff that's going to take most of the night my PC goes off before I go to bed. Electricity is expensive you know.[/SIZE] [quote name='Indi'][FONT="Arial"][COLOR="Indigo"]Yes Gavin, you really do need to stop lurking online 24/7. You have your goons at Wally World for that kind of deal. =P [/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]I do not lurk. I watch, and I am always watching.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Korey'][FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]I think maybe we would should rename the [b]Convention Center[/b] to something like "Otaku Event Center". That way we know exactly what it's for. [/FONT][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]I think with Otaku Event Center we're also going to try quite a few convention threads, seeing as Otaku Events tend to be conventions. Personally I reckon we should just move back to the old name of [B]Community Events[/B], or maybe [B]Community Center[/B], something that distinguishes it as for being for OB only. Either way perhaps this thread should be split and moved to the staff forum for further discussion ? [/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]I'm going to get this game, it's an RPG from Bioware, 'nuff said.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]Also agreeing on the over-saturation of characters, bluntly we're going to end up with a bunch of half or quarter fights because there's just not enough panel space and development done on individual characters outside the very major ones to make stuff interesting. Of course I've complained before this arc of the story is taking entirely too long to get through to the point of almost implosion under it's own weight. Even with the glut of current heroes we've still got Isshin, Urahara, Ryuken, Yoruichi, Tatsuki, Mizuiro, Keigo (assuming something happened with the last three) , Unohana and two VCs to see stuff out of as well as Ichigo and the main cast's natural development as stuff goes on. Worse for me is that Kubo seems to have lost the ability to keep prior characterisations straight, where is this bastard attitude from Tousen coming out of ? Because it sure as hell wasn't even hinted at before, extremely loyal to Aizen and his vision yes, general asshat no. Regardless as it stands we need to see a story progress at something more than fight, rinse, repeat.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Nerdsy'][color=deeppink]I just want everyone to know that, while buying comic books this week, I was given a Black Power Ring. I have spent almost ever hour since walking around shouting "FLESH" to anybody within earshot, to their extreme confusion/annoyance.[/color][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"] *Nerdly High-Five*[/SIZE] [quote name='chibi-master']Great, wonderful dream last night that for some reason reminded me that Br stands for Bromine...[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]I'm now curious exactly what kind of dream would prompt such a recollection ?

[quote name='Ikillion'][COLOR=#35160f][SIZE="1"][FONT="Trebuchet MS"]So is this a clever ploy for a Futa thread? Awesome![/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [CENTER][IMG]http://www.digital-tv.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/borat-high-five.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE="1"] [I][B]High-five![/B][/I][/SIZE][/center] [quote name='Boo'][size=1]I think she should at least get some muffin points for the Queen reference. [size=5]: D[/size] fun topic![/size][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Indeed.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]Futon couches are not real couches, their armrests are hard and terrible for pillows, and I just hate them in general.[/FONT][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Hmm, bought a futon myself to replace my old bed to add a bit of space to the room and I've not had any problems with it in that regard, though I do prefer a wooden armrest to a fabric one.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]Usually I either just close threads about conventions or move them over to the Anime Lounge seeing as they're invariably about manga and anime. I was under the impression that threads dedicated specifically to advertise weren't allowed but if we're changing the rules in regard to advertising conventions specifically I'd be more inclined towards Korey's idea of a sub-forum and add a sticky later once we decide the parameters for the threads themselves. Thoughts ?[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]If only Deathknight was still around... :animesmil[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]I've never really been bothered one way or another regarding how I look wearing glasses or wearing contacts, apparently I look more erudite with my glasses and more sporty and out-going without them which makes sense considering the people who see me without them would be people I play sports with or people I see when I go out. Honestly chibi it's down to yourself one way or another, you look fine with either and maybe should try contacts for a while to see how you get on with them and if you feel there's any difference. [/SIZE] [quote name='Sangome'][SIZE="1"]I have one of the biggest glasses fetishes ever. You are far, far, FAR from the only one from thinking that, my friend. =D[/SIZE][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"];)[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]Well spoilers are out and apparently we're going through the opening volleys between both sides, nothing particularly interesting happening yet. [/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"][I]Has no idea who this person is, does not believe there was any racism involved and went through most of the thread wondering how Bill Gates could be racist to a white cop before someone kindly used a longer name than simply Gates.[/I][/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]I still demand the Raikage be restyled immediately to look like Mr. T, then and only then will Naruto truly have a hero worth following. "Please forgive Sauce!" "I pity the fool who demands forgiveness for an even greater fool who does not realise and value friendship."[/SIZE]

[quote name='Magus']Tousen got a shot in on Shinji. Quite unexpected.[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Indeed. That said it was one captain cutting another so perhaps it's not that surprising. Honestly I found it more surprising that Tousen claimed he always knew he'd end up fighting Komamura, always seemed more like he'd be trying to covert Koma to his side, unless of course his least blood spiel was just spiel. The 3 minute vizard rule seems to have come out of nowhere though. [/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]Hmm not that great a plot development really, switching one set of captains for another set though I get the feeling Barrigan vs Hachi could be rather interesting. As for Kensei fighting an Espada, I'd have said he should've teamed up with Hisagi and Komamura against Tousen and Wonderweiss, although that may still occur. Don't see why it needs to be 2 on 1 for Stark though, Ukitake and Shunsui had him under control pretty well, subbing in two Vizards who were former Captains seems a bit overkill.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Vicky'][size=1]Men often talk about the size of the poo they did the other night, so us women will talk with dignity about bleeding.[/size][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Don't know what kind of guys you know that talk about the quantity of their bowel movements often V, because as far as I'm aware I've never heard the subject brought up in conversation. Working eleven hours shifts suck, working eleven hour shifts while being sick with the flu and not being able to take a day off because I'd have to work weekends to make up for it sucks even worse. God damn you college debt...[/SIZE]

[size=1]Browsing OB on my iPhone right now, very awkward but also very fun.[/size] :animesmil

[quote name='Ace'][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Why am I bothering to catch up? All I learned was: LOL HEY GUYS LET'S KILL ALL THE KAGES EVEN THOUGH ONLY ONE OF THEM IS MY TARGET I'M SASUKE I SURE LOVE BEING AN OMNICIDAL DOUCHEBAG. NO YOU GUYS DON'T UNDERSTAND SASUKE IS A GOOD BOY MADARA DID IT ALL HE'S CONTROLLING HIM IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW. It's like reading a bad fanfiction. Except it's being professionally published week after week and the author is being paid to produce it. That's possibly the most infuriating thing I've ever had to acknowledge.[/FONT][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]No, just hell no. I don't care how many new lol-l33t-h4xx0r level jutsu Sauce comes up with there's no way he's getting anything other than a royal beatdown if he decides to challenge five Kage, the Samurai/Warriors of the Land of Iron (officially the best land name in the manga) and however else his doucheness offends to a murderous degree. Lord knows Naruto like a loyal-battered wife will swing into action in his defense instead of delivering a Kamina-level "Get a hold of yourself" punch to the jaw. Also I'm calling a Yoda on the Tsuchikage, and if Danzou tries to give him **** he can just drop rocks on him, we already know Uchiha and Sharingan users in general are weak against rocks. Oh and Ace if you want to see a professionally published fanfiction I recommend Christopher Paolini who is only published because his parents own the damn publishing company.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Stephanie'][size=1]No, I'm a Pisces! :D[/size][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]If that's an acceptable reason I'll use it as well. ^_^ Aside from the odd bit of music or an anime series I really like I wouldn't consider myself a thief, and even then downloading music and movies makes you a pirate which is a much better sounding than thief really, with eyepatches, wenches, booty and grog. Yarr. Specifically regarding hotels however I've never taken anything, simply because there was nothing there worth taking, like a few others I tend to bring a wash-bag with me withmy own shampoos and lotions because of the generally low quality of the products in the hotel.[/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"]Pretty much what it says on the title, I've decided to get my brother and Xbox 360 for his twentieth birthday (which happened to be last month but I was flat broke at the time) and I'm trying to come to a decision regarding whether I should get him the regular standard XBox 360 (Pro/Premium as it's also been labelled) or the more expensive and newer Elite. Resolution isn't an issue because my new HD TV has a VGA input which apparently allows the regular one to reach the same 1080p as the Elite's straight HDMI cable. What I suppose I really want to know is aside from overall hard-drive capacity is there any reason for me to get the Elite? Reviews seem to state that spec-wise they're identical, having the same noise and heat levels, and that even the difference between HDMI and regular composite isn't noticeable except in rare cases, the same being said for the sound. Any and all feedback would be welcome.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Korey'][FONT= Franklin Gothic Medium] Yeah, turns out mosquitoes only have a use when homicidal maniacs plan to commit genocide. [/FONT][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]You know too much. Two men in black suits will arrive in an unmarked car in the next ten minutes, do not attempt to flee, do not attempt to resist, both are futile. [/SIZE]

[quote name='Magus']455 DIE NARUTO! Hey, Danzou has the sharingan... But, but Itachi said there was only 3 uchiha folks... Danzuo = Obito? Orochimaru found Obito's body?[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"] Lord knows how he got it, there's probably some ungodly complicated plot behind it that Kishi is going to tease out over the next six months. I even have a feeling he could be Madara's little brother.[/SIZE]

[quote name='Lawliet']And... why is everyone shocked that the Superchunk-Cyclops spit out a bunch of Menos. Yes, it was kind of unexpected, but what are a bunch of Menos going to do against Captains and Vizard?[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]This was actually something I was a bit surprised by as well, given the way the guys have been dealing with Adjuchas class menos without too much difficulty a bunch of Gillian shouldn't be any problem, especially to captains. Hell Yama-jii himself should be able to toast them all with a single swipe. Also, I guarantee Ichigo's bull mask is going to replace his previous one. Hmm, now it's a toss-up between his and Hachi's for my favourite. :animesmil[/SIZE]
