  5. [quote name='Sabrina'][FONT="Tahoma"]I've heard the phrase oldie and n00b several times since I joined this place. When I found this... it just made me giggle so... I present...

  6. [SIZE="1"]Very nice job D'Ann, I was actually considering making the partner/murderer segment specific in the request but I wanted to see what you'd do with it. Having Petie do the job was a bit of an eyebrow raiser, heh I have to admit, I'd probably never have guessed he was going to be the one to do me in, as Rach said, it's just not a role you associate him with.[/SIZE]

Painkillers and dopamine injected into the base of the skull before this movie or you'll grind your teeth down to stubs.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] [CENTER][SIZE="1"][IMG]http://www.icanhasforce.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/star-wars-george-lucas-carbonite-apology-accepted.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Seemed appropriate.[/SIZE]
  8. [SIZE="1"]I'm genuinely struggling for words writing this having got back from the late showing in my local cinema. The Clone Wars is a film so bad, so unrepentantly obvious in it's plugging of an equally bad TV series to come that I am consoled only by the fact that one day George Lucas will die. I suppose I could sit here and try to find the words the describe what disgusts me about this film, but I doubt I could ever find the virulence to do my anger justice. Part of it likely comes from the fact watching Star Wars as a child with my father for the first time makes up some of my earliest and most precious memories, and now as a man myself I am forced to watch something that was once so magical to me be cast down into wretchedness for the sake of making it's exorbitantly wealthy creator even richer. It is pitiable that George Lucas has done this, that a man who's independence thirty years ago made his films so unique, so different and appealing. Perhaps it's that the world is a smaller place and the facets of different cultures which Lucas weaved together to form the mythos of Star Wars are more well-known, making them seem less significant, less unique overall. I doubt it, but then as I child, I knew nothing of the samurai or Japan, nor had I ever watched science fiction shows, where as the situation is different now. What's worse is that Star Wars is certainly still capable of entertaining. It's Expanded Universe which extends 5,000 years before Episode I to a hundred years after Episode VI is filled with vivid and wonderful adventures, fascinating and endearing characters, and most importantly dialogue which does not make one sigh with embarrassment. So why, WHY are forced to watch the tired journeys of the same now uninspiring individuals over and over again ? I hope, no, pray that Lucas will learn from the Clone Wars and realise that his vision of what "Star Wars" is has faded, or rather expanded to beyond himself as it's sole story-teller. I hope he realises the more he tries to shoe-horn his own limited ideas into the series the more he fails and damages it because he is out-of-touch and unwilling to accommodate the stories of other writes in his company's employ. This won't happen of course, the hundred episodes of The Clone Wars TV series will be watched by children who will have never had the chance to know what Star Wars was like before Lucas went mad, and they will be thrilled by Saturday-morning-cartoon quality characters in the series which created Darth Vader. They will be wowed by a series which priorities style over substance that was once overflowing with both. In the end, it is simply saddening. [/SIZE]
  9. [SIZE="1"]Yet again you've summed up the majority of my thoughts about the latest chapter Ace, and done so in a far funnier manner than I could have. In all seriousness though, my hope for Naruto as a series is waning by the week. From this week's chapter and the sacrifices of the members of Taka it appears that Sasuke has been moved by their actions to understand the meaning of teamwork, loyalty and friendship...which would be all well and good if his former comrades from Team 7 haven't been doing exactly the same thing and getting the collective shite beaten out of them for months doing the same and having no success. As for Naruto, regardless of how fast he learns how to control his Sennin-chakra I'm still not buying this as a truly viable power for him over actually bloody learning how to control the Kyuubi and this getting a hell of a lot more power. Yet again we're forced to wonder exactly what it was that Jiraiya taught him for those three years during the timeskip, because it's looking like sweet ****-all. In the spirit of the laughable nature of Naruto at the moment, I present this demotivator. [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26683&stc=1&d=1220132383[/IMG][/SIZE]
  10. [SIZE="1"]I seem to have fallen somewhat behind in reading this D'Ann, my sincerest apologies. Good to see some of the other characters are due to arrive back soon, which undoubtedly means the action isn't too far away now. The dialogue as usual flows naturally, and I did enjoy how you portrayed my as the seasoned parent with Kiwi. Here's hoping we enjoy the normality while we can.[/SIZE]
  11. [SIZE="1"]Two very enjoyable stories D'Ann, although I have to say, the first one was certainly one of the best stories you've ever written for Little Deaths. The tension and pacing was superb, as to quote Darren, very creepy to the point where showing the death was unnecessary for the reader. Great work. If you're up for it, I'd like to request my own death. The setting is a decayed near-future version of Solo's Enter the Net Otakuboards (O-City), characters are, aside from myself, whoeve you choose as part of the special narcotics branch of OCPD tracking the distrubution of a new electronic drug called "Buzz". The circumstances of the death are at your discretion also, but should occur just before a dinner between the two of us to celebrate my making lieutenant in the OCPD.[/SIZE]
  12. [quote name='DeLarge'][SIZE=1]I was up in Edinburgh recently, and found it to be completely to the contrary of everything I've heard about Scotland.

  18. [SIZE="1"]Well no surprises here from me, I'm from Ireland and I honestly wouldn't consider myself a half-decent tour-guide for my entire nation, so I'll just take the lazily efficient way out and give a link to the Wikipedia article [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ireland][b]here[/b][/url] for anyone who's interested. For anyone considering visiting Ireland at any point I would advise them to schedule the trip during the summer only for any chance of sunshine.[/SIZE]

  23. [SIZE="1"]Wow, I had very little hope that this movie would be any good before I read what it was about, and now that I have, I have absolutely no doubt it'll suck beyond any form of redemption.[/SIZE]

    Queen

    [quote name='Lunox'][font=trebuchet ms] Telling people that Queen is an awesome band is sort of like telling people that the sky is blue. Don't worry. ;) [/font][/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Agreed, Queen is one of those few bands awesome enough that you can love even though your mom is a fan too.[/SIZE]
