pax et agape

[quote name='Shinmaru' timestamp='1294114439' post='703614'] I wonder if the Second Impact will come before the [b]Evangelion[/b] movies finish?! [/quote] The vote up button wasn't working for whatever reason so I'll just say it. This made me laugh.

When I heard about that my first thought was that at least they won't have to wait long to figure out if they're right or not. Really I've been hearing that the the end is near my whole life and anymore I don't pay it any mind. Looking back over history it seems to me that each new era comes up with an interpretation of end times prophecy that kind of matches the mood and events of that era. The popular one we have now (rapture, seven year tribulation, etc.) is mostly a product of thought from the last century or so. My general attitude towards the whole thing is that it could come today or it could come thousands of years from now. Nothing any of us can do is going to change the date so don't dwell on it. Instead, spend however much time we have left making the world we have now as good as it can be.

I'm not new here but I've been away for a long time so I thought I would re-introduce myself. So hello.

[quote name='Kenso'][COLOR=DarkGreen][SIZE=1] NOTE: I am inherently jealous of any guy that can grow his hair to a decent length. I cannot get my hair to straighten, and end up with a 'fro instead, which just isn't cool.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/quote] It's too thin to do it now but not so long ago I was able to grow my hair quite long. Proof: [IMG]http://restlessones.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/tylor2.jpg[/IMG] This was about 4-5 years ago. Oh, and it is naturally that curly (whether I like it or not).

I don't even play Pokemon but I couldn't resist using this: [URL="http://img.420chan.org/f/src/Pokemon_trainer_dress_up_.swf"]Pokemon Trainer Dress Up[/URL] [IMG]http://restlessones.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/trainer.jpg[/IMG] What would you look like?

I've been watching it on Crunchyroll and I love it. Best anime of the season, in my opinion.

My collection isn't the largest since I don't often have much expendable income but here is where is currently stands: [B]Bleach Vol. 1-14: [/B]Feel like I'm never going to catch up on this. I believe the releases are up to 30 now. [B]The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Vol. 1-4: [/B]The only series I've actually been picking up as it is released. [B]Volume one of School Rumble and Chrono Crusade: [/B] Bought the first volumes, liked them but decided not to continue getting them right now. I picked up Chrono Crusade because I thought it might be related to Chrono Trigger in some way. Turns out it wasn't. And after reading through all the other collections I'm felling suddenly insecure about my size.

Finally!

[quote name='Anakoni Stark'][FONT=Times New Roman]After playing the [strike]lackluster[/strike] somewhat interesting [B][I][U]Biohazard 5[/U][/I][/B]; I have to say that Wesker is once again my new favourite villain. Not because [spoiler]he's practically immortal til the end of the game[/spoiler] and he has that odd accent... It's due to the odd accent that he delivers the most hilarious lines about a plague I've ever heard. Wesker: I have [B][I]Uroboros[/I][/B]... And nothing can stop me! Stark: I'm sorry Wesker, but it sounds like you have an STD... I can't take you seriously anymore.[/FONT][/quote] Resident Evil has always been the master of unintentionally hilarious dialog, especially four.

[quote name='Magus'][SIZE=1][COLOR=darkblue]Oh boy... mythology. I'm one of those that tries to get into some of those games that has a lot of mythology in it, but at the same time my conscience tends to get in the way :p. Take Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne for instance. I would love to finish playing this game one day, but teamming up with a demon name Lucifer just don't sit well with. (I'm a church guy but I am open to a lot of those games) I found out that the game has a lot of indian mythology in it and gets me thinking about a lot, and it tend to get pretty scary at times :D. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/quote] Being a Christian guy myself I've run into a couple moments that have made me uneasy. I remember one moment playing SMT Persona 4. I randomly drew the card for the Persona Legion (a pretty ugly bulbous thing) and it had the awkward phrasing "You have welcomed Legion into your heart". I just kind of went, "ahhh!" and my friend joked that I needed to find a herd of pigs soon. Typically, though, that stuff doesn't bother me (hence why I started this thread) and I still count Persona 4 as my favorite game.

[quote name='chibi-master']A bunch of weird PS2 games that I do not care to share the names of. As such, I have programmed my memory to respond with "Pokemon Leaf Green". Oh, Jigglypuff! How I love thee![/quote] Nothing quite like self-induced false memory syndrome.

Hopefully this thread isn't totally dead but I recently discovered a new comfort anime. I recently have been watching [URL="http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Sketchbook"]Sketchbook: Full Colors over on Crunchyroll[/URL] and it has been extremely relaxing for me. [IMG]http://53rg10.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/sketchbook_sorahazukikateaso.jpg[/IMG] I love it.

[quote name='ChibiHorsewoman'][COLOR=#9933ff][FONT=monotype corsiva][SIZE=4]Okay I'm gonna just pwn you all.... yeah... [spoiler]Keh, I got nuthin'[/spoiler] [/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/quote] AND....anticlimactic.
