[size=1]The Moulin Rouge call was good, but you cannot put down [i]Your Song[/i] without adding [i]Come What May[/i] as well. So... Lets see to adding to the thread. :3 [list][*][b]Moulin Rouge[/b] - [i]Come What May[/i] [*][b]Chris de Burgh[/b] - [color=red][i]Lady in Red[/i][/color] (cannot miss out on this one) [*][b]The Pogues[/b] - [i]Love You 'til The End[/i] [*][b]Wir Sind Helden[/b] - [i]Ausser Dir[/i] [*][b]Queen[/b] - [i]You Take My Breath Away[/i] [*][b]Muse[/b] - [i]Unintended[/i] [*][b]Aerosmith[/b] - [i]I Don't Want to Miss a Thing[/i] [*][b]Finley Quaye & William Orbit[/b] - [i]Dice[/i] [*][b]Air[/b] - [i]All I Need[/i] [*][b]Bløf[/b] - [i]Omarm[/i] [*][b]Robbie Williams[/b] - [i]Angels[/i] / [i]She's the One[/i] [*][b]West Side Story[/b] - [i]Maria[/i] [*][b]Lion King II[/b] - [i]Love Will Find A Way[/i] [*][b]Morcheeba[/b] (featuring Manda) - [i]Au Déla[/i] A bit less candlelight-ish music: [*][b]Kraak & Smaak[/b] - [i]Squeeze Me[/i] [*][b]Tomte[/b] - [i]Ich Sang Die Ganze Zeit Von Dir[/i] [*][b]Daft Punk[/b] - [i]Something About Us[/i] [*][b]Mia.[/b] - [i]Tanz Der Moleküle[/i] [/list] I think that's plenty for now. I make a hobby of putting together mixtapes, in a kind of obsessed High Fidelity-ish way, so yer, some love mixtapes werent out of the question. Right now working on a "Street Light Soundtrack" mixtape, filled with songs that are good for when its evening and you are going from one place to another - preferably with your head leaning against the glass of a car or train.[/size]

[size=1]Great stuff, Jigglyness! ^^ And that concludes the Graphic Worm two-thousand and eight! (2008) At least the ammount of thread pages already increased [i]again[/i] since last year. And the Worm is also bigger than last time! Almost ¼ bigger! Whoo! In any case... On to the next Graphic Worm! Thank you all for participating in this one - its been great! Graphic Worm 2009 will be up shortly, at most the last Friday of the Christmas break. Though I will try to get it online as early in the New Year as I can! Until then this year's Graphic Worm will remain stickied well on top of the board. :3 Thanks again, and see you next year! [b]Edit:[/b] Post 200. o:][/size]

[size=1]Naturally, we should try our hand at it! If you would do the honour, we need someone to claim the kick off. :] And... Will we start with the [b]claim +2[/b] system or with the list? Any cheers?[/size]

[size=1]Sounds like a brilliant idear. :][/size]

[size=1]OMGWTF I have been completely busy and could not find the time to get this stuff done. Popping up the new threads.[/size]

[size=1]The monkey is one of my oldest plushies, going by the name Slingeraap (Swing Monkey). It lost it's tail, ears, eye and parts of plush due time.[/size]

[size=1]So, actually this is a video I made like two and a half years ago, but I feel like finally posting it up to compensate with my lack of posting art of the last years. It was actually a project for school to make a one minute movie... That was the whole assignment. [i]Make a one minute movie[/i]. So, I enthusiastically started brainstorming and everything. The idea we ended up using, however did not come from brainstorming but from a mere conversation with me brother. The result: Produit d'Humanité ([i]Product of Mankind[/i]), or with its original title: Produits Humaine ([i]Human Products[/i]). The latter being less correct French, but that was greatly on purpose to suit the video. However, I changed it back to more correct French (if its still incorrect, then its by accident and please let me know, haha) to leave it more open. The music (by Eels) breaks at some point, because I cut away a short clip at that point. Do not let it bother you too much, s'il vous plait. Anyway, see in it what you wish, but most of all... Enjoy. :] [center][youtube=Produit d'Humanité]WI1QHU6WsKk[/youtube][/center][/size]

[size=1]If someone else feels like making something now. Jomz 24 hours are well over, so you can just make something if you feel like it. Unless Jomz makes something before everyone else now, you are free to go at it.[/size]

[size=1]I think that our Gavynn is fine enough a judge of character to be able to see whether she could handle it. Besides, if someone cannot handle such a letter, how would they be able to handle the Dragon Warrior? [/size]

[quote name='Sangome'][SIZE="1"]Hey, [i]someone[/i] had to inject some cynicism. [/SIZE][/QUOTE][size=1]What's the disclaimer for? We're all pouring our fragile hearts out, why aren't you?[/size]

[size=1]Aw, Gav! :^D That is so sweet! And well, it might suck for the boyfriend, but if she would choose you, it should not really matter because she did not like him enough anyway. Tada! Besides, its only handy that she has a boyfriend, because if she does not choose for you, you can blame it on that she does not want to ruin anything or that she feels sorry for the boyfriend! Whoo! As for love letters. Ehm, well not really. Neither way really. I once sent a mix[strike]tape[/strike]disc... I think pretty much one and a half year ago. Oh, I did sent an SMS once with [i]‘‘if I were just a bit less sober, I would be able to pull the courage together to say "I love you" right now :x’’[/i] or something alike, but it did not really work. ;_; Now we are dazzlingly in love with each other and will have our 1½ years anniversary soonish. :3[/size]

[size=1]Especially for this purpose we have a seperate forum called [b]Art By Request[/b]! :) I will move this thread there now![/size]

[size=1]I still do not get why anyone would want to get drunk on purpose, but at the same time hate the taste of alcohol. But anyway. Girls can mix and drink fruity drinks. If you are 14 years old and you are at a party and everyone wants to try alcohol without actually tasting it / bearing too much of the smell back home. Men cannot mix with silly things. Fruity drinks are completely out of the question. If anything, take Malibu with some pineapple, but [i]that's it[/i]. Men drink whisky and beer if anything at all. Unless you are below 5'2". Besides, men don't drink whisky until they're drunk. If you do not like the taste of beer or whisky, which is not very uncommon; drink Ice Tea. No alcohol, just Ice Tea. It is awesome and if you care about it much; you even give the impression that it is liquor if the bottle/pack is not too obviously on the table or something. On a different note: If you are going to drink Tequila, just drink it. All the silly pish posh makes no sense. If you do not like the taste, do not drink it. Easy as that. Heck, you should try absynth if you think tequila tastes bad... Not because it tastes [i]better[/i], mind you. And well. Getting drunk is silly in any case, but if you insist on doing it, do it the hard way like the cool kids. However, just do not get drunk.[/size]

[size=1]The coolest live version of one of my favourite songs ever. The ending to it is great. [youtube="Outsiders - Franz Ferdinand"]jbsOPl0WMFg[/youtube][/size]

[size=1]I think it's because of the JPEG colour compression. You may want to save files as .PNGs to avoid any of such "fuzziness" (because, frankly, it is there).[/size]

[size=1]I find a podcast solely about OtakuBoards a bit too much... OtakuBoards. Apart from that I think doing something like that will not end up in much more than really a very small amount of Podcasts... Well, I would just not be interested enough to listen to such a podcast. Probably because you will pretty much get the effect that the majority of the Anthology OBfics have: ‘‘I am not in it = I do not care about it’’. You are kind of excluding the more regular down-to-earth-‘‘I-have-a-life-outside-OB’’ members by doing something completely about the existing community of OtakuBoards. Truth be told, I would find an interview with a staff member funny if it would have saucy questions, but for the rest I really would not care enough to listen to a full 45 minutes unless the hosts are really, [i]really[/i] good.[/size]
