Boo

Gehehe, if anyone would start one I'd try and add a piece. :'D

Word. 

Heh-heh-heh, Adorably Awkward Allie... 

Yeah, you can't believe it when you're eighteen yourself, but that age gap is humongous when you're older. But, the study I'm doing now is mostly populated by housewives so all of a sudden I am the youngster again. 

Don't worry. It's all an illusion.   Becky, though, is kicking ass by going back to school, even though she's like way old and shit. Great choice. We're all behind you, old-timer! Also, the Mediterranean is pretty great, and with the crisis and all, all those fellows would welcome some cash. Also, it's in my part of the world, which is pretty cool on its own. 

Derp.   But okay, I'll work with you. I am currently OK. Got my toe in a few different projects, which is a complete waste of my energy, as I should be going at them one-by-one instead of this big mishmash. Need to finish my study finally. Got a few dozen songs on the shelf that I should finally get around to finishing. Am involved in a new children's books thing that's still looking for more illustrators and authors. On the other hand I was working with Shy on a comic, but our artist kind of eh... well, is basically non-existent right now. Got some other songs for a different music project I need to finish. Got some soundtrack music for a fictitious video game that I wanted to finish. I have not, unlike most of us in this thread, been in any way involved with an army force (though I considered the Foreign Legion just for fun) so I basically lack discipline and a purpose. On the other hand I play a mean bit of folk guitar and bass guitar, and have a girlfriend whom I love very much.    In a few days the new Franz Ferdinand album will come out, which I'm looking forward to. They used to always be my #1 band because of their epic positive energy on stage and in the studio. Have been neglecting them lately though, as most of my iPod playtime has been hogged by Silversun Pickups and Glen Hansard / The Frames / The Swell Season for the last few years. My roomie listens to a lot of metal and prog. rock, and he introduced me to a lot of shit which I don't care for, but also Karnivool, which is a pretty great band. Will see them live sometime this October.   Last year I went to see Paul Simon live for the somethingth time, but this time was extra special because it was his Graceland Anniversary Tour and also a few days after my dad's (a great fan) 50th - the entire (great!) show took around three hours or more. The day after he was in Amsterdam to present his documentary about the album, and afterwards when mr Simon came out back, I just quickly told him in passing (he had to run without being able to say hi's) that my father had just turned fifty, to which he 0turned around, walked over to my dad, gave him a hand, looked him straight in the eye, and said "Oh! Congratulations!" before taking his leave. It was a tiny something, but my dad completely blanked, and it was great to witness this moment of my dad meeting his musical hero after decades of playing his records. Afterwards, when Paul left, we spent over half an hour talking with the (Graceland) guitarist Ray Phiri, who was a really great person to meet, and he told us about South Africa and how the situation there has changed, and some of the youngsters refuse to believe how horrible apartheid was. He said something when we spoke about his time touring as part of a backing band for Paul Simon (he's a pretty big deal in South Africa himself), "The world is sick, and right there on that stage is the only cure," which he said with such intensity that it will probably stick with me forever.    Also, I mentioned Glen Hansard. If you ever see he's to perform near you, take that chance. Go there. I'm not saying this as a fanboy, but as a favour to anyone who has not had the pleasure of seeing him perform live. Kind of like Bruce, he puts a 200% in each performance; a chunk of pure raw energy every single time I go to one of his shows.   Also, I've started playing Counter-Strike again in the form of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and contrary to my skill-level in the original CS, I am now pretty OK at it after watching some WarOwl videos. Lately I've also started working out again, as my Herculean muscles have been getting overshadowed by fat, and I've been feeling unfit lately. And stuff.    Hit me up if you want to either play a videogame, write/record a song/album/discography/podcast, illustrate/write a (children's) novel/comic, have deep and epic discussions, or have something cool to do. I'm game, and I'm cool. 

Everything is so hard right now. I feel like I might burst. 

  I stole all that music off some naive well-meaning website, fools. They're still somewhere on my drive, so I could just send the whole bunch to you, but you can also just download them from their own website. They have neat names like "Grillos Bailar" and "Knee High Knockout", so they're certain to please.   Also, anything including Mr Taco is also my favourite quote. I like your style.

Cool. You're my new favourite member. Korey and myself put quite some hours in those podcasts, and though we loved doing it, I never genuinely expected to co-inspire others to make their own podcast so that's awesome. If you want, you can add pingpongsmiley, which is also the Skype account I used for podcasts back in the beautiful days. Sounds like an epic idea. Cool.

Dear reader,   I am typing this message while rebels lay siege on my client's castle in Amsterdam, the capital of Europe. My client, someone you seem to know mainly as Boo, has asked me to call for your help. He has a very large sum of money that needs to be kept safe while he finds a way to free himself of the clutches of the communists. You seem to be the only person he entrusts with this task. The number we are speaking of is just little over 610.000 EUR which roughly converts to 3.512.000.000 USD, as you may know. There are two reasons why he asked for your help in this:   1. According to DNA tests you are the closest living family member he has. 2. The money was earned by the big success of the OB Podcast, which featured many of you. ¹   I regret to inform you that due to Europe's current regulations, you would only able to give Boo back 1.000 EUR and you will have to keep the rest of the money and do with it as you see fit. Please send me your bank account number, credit card number, access codes, login codes for OtakuBoards, picture of you, picture of you naked, and a picture of your mother via private message on this website. I will transfer the money right away.   Thank you for helping my client out! Have a nice day.   Yours faithfully,   Boo's lawyer     Get it? It's a CON.  Ha.     ¹ Korey hasn't seen a single cent of it, so please do not mention it to him.

I'm really proud of my find.

Ew.

  ^ That. Guns don't need planning. If you're really angry you don't need to first go to your household Anarchist Cookbook to make a sugar-and-oats nuke, but instead you just reach out and grab the one tool.    However, I read THIS STORY, which is a bit fluffy and indirect, but the actual point is pretty OK. Mental health issues are mostly not taken seriously enough still. All across the globe, not only in the US. It's hard to find decent health care for someone with mental problems, health care that doesn't just land you in an asylum with your brains fried. 

  Thanks. High five.

I remember when Hurricane Sandy ran rampant through OtakuBoards.

You nailed this stuff. Great work. The only commentary I'd have is that poker girl has an alcoholic's amount of scotch in her glass, and I think more of an intriguing look would work best when sharing a deck of cards and a gallon of liquor. You already used dynamics in eyebrow height, but I think a bit more to the "your move" kind of gaze would look awesome. Aside than that, you basically rock.

I think because Asia is a strange continent with many strange people with [i]many[/i] strange habits, people who love Asian countries are generally also strange people. I'm cool though. Then again, I stopped being like "Japan total kawaii ~^_^~" when I was about 12, so that would explain a lot of things.

Tell us all about the junk in [i]your[/i] trunk, in very much detail. Better yet, make a picture of it. We want to see it very much. I am of the opinion that the junk in a person's trunk says a lot about who they are. So share it with us and we can give our thoughts on it! Seeing as I don't own a car or motorcycle or anything else with a proper trunk in it, I will instead speak of what you may find in and around my bicycle, and also what you may find in my trunk-like storages in my room. Feel free to interpret my person through this information. Bicycle: I always have a plastic shopping bag stuck underneath my saddle, which comes in handy on multiple occasions, such as: 1. When shopping, 2. When I know it will rain and I don't want a wet butt. Also, I have a nice big lock on my bicycle. In the Netherlands we have the rule that your lock should always be more expensive than your bicycle. Mine was about the same price, mainly because I bought my bicycle overpriced as I was too lazy to go get myself one of the results of disobeying the rule off some junkie. But now more importantly, the actual junk in trunk-like compartments: I have a lot of stuff that I haven't found a place for yet in the 2/3 year that I live in this room now. So I tucked them into a big trunk-like box. What I see from this angle is: 1. Two gas masks: One more modern Danish side-canister mask that looks quite neat. The other is a WWII mask with a canister below the breather.

Caps. I have several caps, but I never wear caps. One is a cap I got from my mum, it's from some Queen cover band thing she went to. Don't know why she gave it to me. Another is a cheap Burberry rip-off my mate took with him from some Greek party island, in case I ever need to chav around. [img]http://www.designerclothing247.com/burberry_cap.jpg[/img] 3. A container with a load of those orange-y yellow tiny plastic balls you use in those toy guns for adults. Lately they call the thing "airsoft" I believe. I don't even own one of those guns, so I have no idea how, where and why I got the ammo for one. [img]http://www.bbgunworld.com/store/usrimage/cr10000ammo.jpg[/img] 4. A hand drum, like the Flammie Drum. I can summon Flammie whenever. I just don't. [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb57524/mana/images/f/fe/FlammieDrum.png[/img][img]http://mmxz.zophar.net/rpg/mana2/flammie.gif[/img] 5. An Eiffel tower and Napoleon Bonaparte bust replica, some animal statues, and some other souvenir things. When I was young and still went on vacation with a parent or two, we'd get a little vacation pocket money I'd spend on souvenirs. For some reason I'd mostly buy tiny animal statues, but in Paris I guess I couldn't find any beast, other than Napoleon. [img]http://www.souvenirs-of-france.com/boutique_us/images_produits/metal-napoleon-art-silver_V.jpg[/img] 6. A WrapSack®. It's a bag that you're supposed to give on after you receive a present in it. Then you enter the code into some website and it keeps track of where in the world it's been. I thought it was such an awesome idea, that after someone gave it to me, I figured I'd have to ponder over its next destination for at least five years. Anybody want a WrapSack®? [img]http://www.bindependent.com/prodpics/gco111.jpg[/img] 7. A ton of old cigar boxes with or without (random) content. I don't smoke, but manly and awesome cigar boxes with their manly and awesome cigar tobacco cigar smell are just so manly and awesome. [img]http://www.bestcigarprices.com/shopcontent/images/Misc_Empty_Cigar_Boxes.jpg[/img] That was me. Now you. Maybe taking a picture of your entire trunk at once is more helpful.

[size=4]Meh. I just finished the film a minute ago and I must say I was being really positive whenever I could, but basically the film is just not so very good. They scrapped so many of the little details that actually made the novel captivating, and also didn't make use of details that play a larger role in the next films. They could've spent a lot less time giving the viewer all-seeing powers, and instead added some details. The novel was written from first person perspective, which fit a 100% with the feeling of loneliness, you against the world. Instead you get "Oh hi President Snow, please allow us to observe your private conversations", the immediate visual of casualties (but at the same time they didn't keep us up to date really well on who was left), and an immediate look into how the rebellion is starting in D11. That "I'm alone, this is me, the rest is a mystery" vibe was thrown out of the window, killing basically all suspense. They handled some things like the mockingjay pin fine, because the original character for that was not very strong anyway. However, some, for me, essential plot lines and details were dropped or changed, like Peeta's pop visiting her, the mutts, and especially the extremely rushed ending which to me just felt like "hey, yeah so we're out of time, let's call it a day." The ending is what makes the novel as it is, and it's what finally killed the film for me, after I allowed all the other stuff. They browse through time as if the script writer had to go to the loo and quickly wanted to end things. They didn't even take the effort to depict the hover crafts picking up corpses. The impact of the Games was minimal in the depiction of the characters. The cruelty, size, and gravity of the whole situation is not barely enough to allow for rebellions to be fired up around the Districts in this film. The aftermath is non-existent. Like Katie! already mentioned above, the film generally feels too rushed, with very little relationship development for some characters. Though I think they did relatively fine-ish (that's relatively, which in this case is [i]not[/i] a good thing) with Peeta (and I hated Gale in the novel anyway), Haymitch gets very little (drunk) time for us to get to know him and her friendship with Cinna comes falling out of the sky. Also, Cato's speech was too long compared to how little time they allowed for other stuff. On the other hand, I thought Lenny Kravitz was surprisingly OK in his role of Cinna, though I pictured a much skinnier and paler person. Rue was also cast well, Catniss was fine, D2-Girl also fit the bill. Yay. [/size] [size=4]I always hope with these kinds of films that they turn out better than you expect. But alas. Hope... A little hope is effective; a lot of hope is dangerous. If the soundtrack wasn't so great, I would've been most incredibly disappointed by the film.[/size]
