CaNz

it looks very tempting to get... the comercials look really good.

so i just had to dish out $103.22 for a warrenty on my laptop. i had to buy accedent coverage because when i was drinking with some of my friends, one of them spilled the remainder of one of there drinks on my computer. this was a very expensive party foul, and now im stuck with going on otakuboards from my friends computer. its probably gonna take about two weeks to get it back, but i figure this is the best way to fix it, since now can fix future problems for a year, and to fix the screen and keyboard it would have cost almost as much as the warrenty.

hmmmm... i dunno... everyone seems to die in one shot. though the weapons look really cool. i think its a fun system, but goldeneye was more about collecting the best stuff and killing the crap out of people till you were eventually brought down, by either you wearing him or her down, or the group eventually focusing fire on them. This looks like more of the same from CoD, which is still a ton of fun, but i wouldnt compare it to Goldeneye.... Halo Reach may come closer, but it wont have the same kind weakening system Goldeneye had either... shields at least come back after a while. really i think the best part of Goldeneye was the campaign though... but that might just be me.

Given we have more Death Cards than characters at this point everyone is going to lose their characters, so it's really down to what happens afterwords but before the round ends.[/size][/font] [/quote] I agree with you, really the only people who are negatively effected by posting early are the people with Life cards, unless there are some mytery cards out there that i dont know about, and if Shy Planed for this, he may not have given the people with Life cards Death Cards, and gave multiple death cards to people to make it seem like everyone got one. i dont think thats the case but i cant rule it out. and I dont think their is anything wrong with playing a game like this without strategy Hc. its usually the people who think that having the best strategy that have the least fun when they lose and get all whiny (i know cause i was like that at one point) games like this are fun because the outcome is going to be pretty random. you can play the game to the best of your ability but your role in the game is decided by what cards you get and the actions people take, which are almost always picking a random person to kill. Random games are really fun though, so it shouldnt matter who wins at the end. I think the game is fun because of the way it was played.

[font="Garamond"]The Bandit felt the end nearing, it had been a long struggle so far and he was sure their was little left for him to do. One thing he was sure of was that the killing wouldnâ??t stop now, and he was unsure if it ever would. Before the killing began there was one thing he wanted to do. The man-ghost David Mathis had an ability that could benefit the remaining guests. [/font][center][font="Garamond"]============================================================================[/font] [/center][font="Garamond"]He found Mathis looking through a wall at the remaining guests[b]. â??[color="#8b0000"]They are all prey you know. [/color]â??[/b] [b] â??You, you're not the one who did this to me are you?[/b]â? Mathis was not afraid of The Bandit, but every time one of the spirits showed up, someone died, â??[b]what do you want then.â?[/b] The Bandit shot him a smiled, [color="#8b0000"][b]â?I have given you all you need to help your fellow man. That Bird has plagued this game for too long, and in your current state you have the ability to defeat her. I will lead you to her, but on one condition. Your loyalty, rid yourself of the bond you share with Angle. Denounce that spirit and I will allow you to save the lives of the others.â? [/b][/color] [b]â??If I do, does this mean I am under your control? Whoâ??s twisted plan will I now be part of, yours?â?[/b][color="#8b0000"] [b] â??Donâ??t bother worrying about that, I will take care of the details, just do as I say and youâ??ll have a chance at saving them.â?[/b][/color] [/font][center][img]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e366/nifty_fifty/mansion%20cards/danielmathis.jpg[/img][font="Garamond"][img]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e366/nifty_fifty/mansion%20cards/switchcard.jpg[/img][/font][img]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e366/nifty_fifty/mansion%20cards/belle.jpg[/img] [i]SWITCH CARD: Switch the owners of ANY two characters still in play.[/i] [/center][font="Garamond"][b]â??Fine, I accept.â? [/b]The Bandit let loose an appalling laugh before grasping the back of Daniel Mathisâ?? neck and flying out the room. [/font][center][font="Garamond"]==========================================================================[/font] [/center][font="Garamond"] Belle was enjoying her most recent meal, the corpse of Jacqueline Masey [/font][font="Garamond"]when Mathis emerged from the ground behind her, holding the bloody knife he had previously stolen.

She then became very aware of the knife protruding from her throat. Rage filled her now glazing eyes, she reached out to slash the Man who silenced her, but her claws tore no flesh and her muscles broke no bones. The great beast fell to the ground, never to reach the skies again. However the former master of the Harpy pleased with the outcome, as the game would continue on. [/font][center] [font="Garamond"]==========================================================================[/font] [/center][font="Garamond"]The Bandit appeared before the host. [b][color="#8b0000"] â??Everything has to end sometime Gravedigger, when will you let the dead have peace?â? [/color] â??Leaving the dead alone has never crossed my mind. I am The Gravedigger after all.â?[/b] With his mind put n place, the Bandit faded off, he couldnâ??t help but think that this game would never truly end, but for now he was satisfied with what he had achieved.

when DBZ came to toonami i watched it, but i also watched Gundam Wing, and i could easily tell which one had better characters. i was a teen child at the time too, i just got bored quicker than most i guess... i remember thinking, why does everyone suck, and why wont they ever shut up and fight? thus i became a Gundam fan.

honestly i think its stratigicly better to wait, but i will post in the next twelve hours... i have some free time when i wake up... and if i still cant sleep i may even start now... who knows... but i i think if i kill someone, it will ruin their chances(unless they have a life card) they will post to kill the next person (who may post if he has a life card.) untill it gets down to the two people with life cards, (saying there is only two, which would end the game, but their could be more. which i believe is a good chance since their are more bonus cards to be accounted for) people with life cards cannot hope to win if they play their death cards first (unless they have two characters... but that is unlikely) so stalling is unavoidable, the round wont end until all deathcards are played, so if you have a life card and a death card, you will have your character alive, then kill the last person in the round. probably making you the winner. but if you have a life card and you play the death card, the round could possibly end before you play the life card (or more likely, the game wont end until you bring back the character for the last person to kill. because i am sure the number of people meant to die this round will be exactly the number necessary to end it. ) anyways my strategy time is over so i will post soon... but if anyone else wants to go before me feel free.

ouch.... well, i will probably catch up to you eventually.... i feel pretty far from sleepy right now.

[quote name='Phenom' date='06 September 2010 - 09:08 PM' timestamp='1283832530' post='700289'] I can go on for days about why I hate movie 8. The "[i]Believe in Goku[/i]" is part of the reason why I don't watchd DBZ in general anymore. [/quote] wait... so your saying having a giant list of characters that are almost completely useless doesn't make a good show? having everyone wait for Goku to save the day for the thousandth time gets old? impossible! anyways, i am watching Gundam 00 again... now if there was ever as show that equally distributes the main characters roles as well as this show, i have yet to see it. I suppose the main character is Setsuna F. Seiei (love that name) but all the Gundam pilots seem to have as big of a role in the story. and as for having control of the plot they seem to play a minor role in comparison to the legion of minor characters who all get tons of back-story. i dont know why but i always end up liking the guys who aren't gundam pilots. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOBngvcYKuM&feature=related[/media] this was hard to find in English dub (which has a way better line if you don't know Japanese culture) anyways i always get all teary eyed when an overconfident gundam pilot gets schooled by a someone who is a superior pilot in an inferior model... so i had to share.

[quote name='Phenom' date='07 September 2010 - 02:07 AM' timestamp='1283850456' post='700292'] So here I am up so early (or rather, I haven't been sleep yet) and I'm hungry. Trying to see if I want to eat some oatmeal or wash a bowl for some cereal. (both consumes time lol) [/quote] what timezone are you in Phenom? its 3 am here in the pacific... and i'm in the same boat.

I once ran away from home in a thunderstorm. worst night i have ever spent outside. i wound up sleeping in the hot tub at a local pool, i pulled one of the chairs in and laid there in my boxers while i tried to dry my clothes a little bit under a table. at least it was warm... but car alarms were going of and the sky was blinding... it was just terrible.

[quote name='CaNz' date='05 September 2010 - 10:00 PM' timestamp='1283749202' post='700266'] tonight i plan to do things... much will be achieved. [/quote] i did almost nothing last night.... sigh....

[font="Garamond"]Xillian desperately called for the group to fall back and rejoin the now advancing republic troops. The Sith on The Rancor was no ordinary force wielder. Xillian did not know what he was capable of, but he did feel a vast amount of power. Xillian also knew a Bull Rancor when he saw one, and this was a very big Bull Rancor. Once back in the main group of soldiers the first lieutenant briefed him. [b]â??Sniper battalion confirms all AT-KTâ??s down, two AT-APs down, the two remaining are functional but they managed to destroy the nitro tanks. They are asking if they should keep in position and shoot the Rancor.â? â??Have them fall in line here now. Even a overcharged sniper shot couldnâ??t do more than give that Bull Rancor a blister, and the Sith on top of it would deflect it right back at themâ?¦ I know I would.â?[/b] [b] â??Yes sir, also communications specialist Lyon needs to speak with you immediately, its Dax Olesa sir.â? [/b] Xillian scowled, the message was sure to be intercepted, but he knew if he didnâ??t get to it the General would send it to a private, possibly loosing valuable information to the enemy and the middle man. Xillian hurried to the back of the battalion. [b] â??Sir General Dax Olesa is on the line, he is talking about dropping down on the harbor a click west of the Beast in the beachfront.â? [/b] Xillian snatched the comlink, â??[b]Lyonâ?¦ forget what you heard,â?? [/b]Xillian ordered him out of the room. [b]"General I have reason to believe this message will be received by the enemy, I implore you to follow any coarse of action aside from the one you just made.â?[/b] [b] â??With all do respect master Jedi I am the General here, and if I say we land a click west of that oversized nerf we will be landing a click west.â? â??Sir I am no Jedi master, but I have been promoted to the rank of General in the eyes of the Republic, donâ??t hide your lack of tactical vision behind your rank.â?[/b] Xillian momentarily lost his calm green to a pale red, but it returned as quickly as it departed. [b] â??I have a battle to win Falleen, and an Olesa always takes the difficult path.â?[/b] Olesa severed the connection. Xillian stepped outside. [b]â??Lyon, I need to make another callâ?¦ get me Mord Wyyrlok Asapâ? [/b] ======================================================================= Mord retreated from the northern spaceport in order to bolster defense on the coast. the wookies would have to defend themselves inland. Xillian knew this could come back to haunt him, but if they didnâ??t win here, the planet would be lost. The planetary defense shield as well as several fuel refineries were located just inland of the coast, meaning if they fall, the planet would lose its protection, and the Republic would be forced to concede. Xillian made his way to the front lines, turbolasers and blasterfire lit the battlefield. Neon green and bright red lit the waters of the coast and smoke and coarse ash filled he air.. Xillian could feel the presence of the Sith on the Rancor. The battle was fueling him. His presence was so strong that the Jedi almost missed another dark ripple in The Force. A Twiâ??lek male in dark robes had charged him, lightsaber drawn. Xillian reached out to The Force and pulled the sprinting Sith. Taken by surprise the Sith stumbled forward, nearly stabbing himself with his lightsaber, however he managed to deactivate it while using his hands to push off of the sand, using The Force to guide him into the air above Xillian. The Sith reactivated his lightsaber for an overhead swing but was plucked from the air using the force by Xillian and hurled once more into the sand. The Sith somersaulted to regain his footing, then turned back to Xillian, â??[b]Enough Playing with The Force and draw your lightsaber! I am Verosa Himaal of the Sith I am the Knight entrusted with the Coastal invasion, and if it is a success I will obtain the rank of Darth! You will die today Jediâ? [/b] Xillian Drew his lightsaber,[b] â??Your chance of killing me today was forfeit when to told me to draw my sword.â?[/b] Xillian used The Force to pull his saber off his belt and into his left hand. He then sprinted towards his opponent with his light saber behind him in a form 7 stance, leaping sideways and to the right in order to avoid a thrust that intended to pierce his chest. While in mid jump Xillian switched tossed the lightsaaber to his right hand which was in the right position to open up his opponent. Answering the Twiâ??lek with a thrust of his own, Xillian punctured one wrist and continued through the elbow of the Sith. The curdling scream iof the Sith alerted four Sith troupers, who laid down a volley of blasterfire, which Xillian redirected, killing two of them, but allowing the rest of the Sith to escape. Xillian began to follow but slowed his pace as he received a message from a comlink Lyon gave him. [b]â??Xillian, this is Mord, we just landed in the back of the line, I am heading to your position now, but I have some bad news. Dax Olesa has landed as well to the west of the main enemy battalionsâ?¦ they are setting up the remaining heavy weapons right at that location. We need to get there now.â? [/b] Xillian buzzed an affirmative and headed strait to the heart of the battle.[/font]
