[size=1][i]Ring, ring ring![/i] Do you hear that bell? We're in for another round This time with some Frank Sinatra sound. [i]Cause now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I smell your fear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.[/i] I have gasoline for blood; I'm explosively mean You're about to experience an anger that's never been seen I'm enraged, veins bulging, skin turning sickly green Muscles exploding, sinew snapping, hands ready to do some slapping Prepare to face the Incredible Hulk of rapping You don't want to see me when I'm angry You won't like me when I'm angry [i]This just in[/i], here's my forecast; this battle will be your last I've been chased, robbed, harassed, pushed, kicked, But I've never been licked My ribs have been broken I've never been smoked, but keep on smokin' Cause I did it my way I did it how? I did it my way. [i]I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and ev'ry highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way.[/i] That's right, there's the highway Hit the road dude, cause here, we do things [i]my[/i] way Dawgs like me are always on top of the people scene What's that yo? [i][b]Am I making you angry?[/b][/i] This situation is getting hairy? But you aren't the Hulk, your skin's only green cause of envy You cork your game like a Sammy Sosa baseball bat You didn't think I knew about that. So, Chicago Cub, take your Kenny Rogers While I dodge you like a Dodger How am I gonna do it? Put the pieces together and see if they fit. [i]Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, even this brawl, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way".[/i] You heard it right, I did it my way. My way. This bitter, unforgiving reality Over this mountain, and through this valley Sneaking to get the truth. The priests used to watch over the people Now they're watching the people Tapping that a*s like I'm toppling your steeple Now is the only thing that's real Including this present loss that you feel vengeance, retribution, anger and deceit, all rolled up One big, nasty, violent, terrifying ball, that's wussup That's my game. Now aren't you glad you came? So you hold 'em, you fold 'em, you walk away--just the same [i]For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way![/i][/size]

I love this Ajeh! It's hot. It's probably the best play-off of a song that anyone's ever posted on OtakuBoards--even putting "Postin'" to shame. Be proud. You have received on this day, the many blessings of the original gangsta. Meaning, your third child will be blessed with many talents, talents which you can exploit and use to make yourself very wealthy. And, you will have many honeys and phat rides. Feel me playa?

Charles is posting in Anime Lounge. Yeah, baby! I picked this up yesterday, and I'm satisfied. But, there was no soundtrack with mine. >_

I agree with Tony, here. Swearing can be used to make writing more impactful and true-to-life, if used properly. Whenever I include swearing in my writing, especially in my short stories, I provide a warning label of some sort. So, it's not like people are diving in head first without any clue of the content they're about to read. If discretion labels were required, there wouldn't be much of a problem. Basically, if cussing was restricted to certain areas for creative purposes, I don't think it would take anything away from the tasteful atmosphere of the boards. It's not like people would be able to swear at one another in Otaku Lounge, for instance. Plus, I can't imagine people swearing in [i]every[/i] RPG just for the sake of swearing. If anything, the added flexibility with language would help strengthen the atmosphere in certain RPGs and it would be easier to created mature, realistic stories for those of us who aren't really interested in the fantasy-driven games that dominate Adventure Arena right now. I can understand where Hataki is coming from too, because swearing is a large part of the rap culture. There's nothing wrong with swearing in these lyrics because they're not directed maliciously towards anyone--it's just a form of art that expresses the pain and frustration of the human spirit.

Congrats, Lady M. on the bouncing bebbie boy--well, even though he hasn't been born yet. So, I guess he's not really bouncing, probably just kicking--but, erm, well, yeah. I wish ya luck on the recovery. Being the lazy, cheap bastard that I am, I don't think you should hold your breath awaiting gifts from me. But, here's a picture of a cradle: [img]http://www.spies.com/~laurel/b4birth/cradle.jpg[/img] I also threw together the crudest, most disturbing banner ever for everyone to look at--since I haven't made a crude, disturbing banner in a while! :excited:

Well, I placed the coding into your signature and the image seems to work properly. Hopefully, you can see it as well. Remember that uploading erroneous attachments is also a big no-no. In this case you were just asking for help and trying to figure out the problem--but it takes on a whole different essence when you just post with the words "hehe." And--you don't have to double post to find help or draw attention to your thread. So, regardless of your intentions, remember to use the edit button in the future.

I liked both games because of their catchy tunes and quirkiness, but I prefer Parappa the Rapper over Um Jammer Lammy. I'll never forget some of the tracks, like Chop Chop Onion's dojo stage. [i]Kick, punch, it's all in the mind.[/i] And, who could forget rapping in order to advance in line outside of a restroom? Genius. I found the cinematic that resulted from failure especially cool. What I loved most was, how ordinary situations became so special. The game's simplicity and fun factor really meshed and helped the product become something special. Lammy was sort of a cheap offshoot. I didn't like how she was placed into stereotypical female situations, like taking care of babies and such. I still liked the game overall, but it wasn't the classic that its predecessor was. Being able to unlock Parappa was a definite plus though.

We're in the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The place is [i]filled[/i], baby. That's right. [i]Jam packed![/i] Count'em. Eighteen-thousand strong--all eyes on a podium at the head of the arena floor. It's a flash bulb frenzy. Johnny Cage's back is turned to the cameras--his arms folded. He's a two-dimensional sprite, digitized to perfection; he drips with all the realism the early nineties could possibly render--the same realism that made Mortal Kombat a box office smash. A single spotlight separates his form from a surrounding pitch-black void. It's been a four-day affair, the first highlighted by anti-classic gaming demonstrations and the burning of effigies of old school heroes like Pac Man and Mario. The second day was devoted to Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade signing autographs and participating in different fan exhibits. The third was punctuated by an inflammatory speech by Simon Belmont on the subject of the ?Old Days,? prompting Minneapolis police to bring the riot gear out when the incensed fans tried to reestablish the N64 versions of Casltenvania as worthy titles of the series in the Metrodome, disrupting a Twins/Mariners game. This, the final day, is a State of the Union Address of sorts by the icon, Mr. Cage (Johnny to his friends). The crowd cheers when it knows to and stays subdued most of the time. He stands in his best gray vest and gray tie suit, hair slicked back. Behind Cage and the podium is a huge blowup of the Mortal Kombat logo, an ominous black dragon in a perpetual circular prison. The podium itself is a massive black lectern, with several microphones, peaking around Cage?s upper chest. It has the logo on the front of it as well. The initial applause has faded from Cage's entrance, and everyone sits down to listen to this very important speech. As per Convention protocol, all attendees are in their best dress clothes, each wearing a "Classic Games are the past; We want tits and @s$" button on the right breast of their shirts. Cage raises his hand for silence, and begins to speak. "Welcome, welcome, everyone," he says. He says "Yes, indeed, welcome to the final day of the National Anti Classic Gaming Convention! It?s really turned out well I think, with thousands coming to Minneapolis this Labor Day weekend, and eighteen thousand here in the arena today. This, the final address of the Convention, is an appraisal of the current state of our struggle to move [i]forward[/i] in arcades and living rooms across America." Cage raises his hands for silence, until the flashing cameras cease their blinking and the fans' hysteria calms to anxious banter. "It is a good news, bad news situation" he says. He says, "First, the good news. Since our struggle began to establish graphics and gore over actual gameplay mechanics, we have gained a massive fan base to support our campaign and our troops. This was evident this weekend obviously. BMX XXX sells second only behind that of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City." The well-informed crowed applauds and cheers, obviously content with their M-Rated games. "But on to larger matters. The bad news. It seems to me that since our successful raid on the Emerald Hill Zone, we have drifted apart a large bit. We've lost Sweet Tooth, and Leisure Suit Larry is off in Mexico somewhere filming cutscenes for a studio that will remain--[i]nameless[/i]. The crowd begins to chant "Acclaim," but Cage continues nevertheless. He says "We've been inescapable, and no classic beatnik could shake our grasp on gaming. Unfortunately, the "Next Gen" movement has lost steam and become misdirected. I have taken it upon myself to be the "Next Gen" diplomat, the Ombudsman for n00b matters, but it hasn't been needed, since the "Next Gens" appear more concerned with individual pursuits than the goal of 'Yesterday Men' conquest." "Our faction," he says "still numbers strong, with Tommy Vercetti, The DOOM Marine, Duke Nukem, Kain, that big bad scary bald dude from [i]Bio Freaks[/i], Dante and myself leading the charge. Less than the nine we had on our arrival, but still twice as large than any other gaming army in the world worth mentioning. We need to utilize these numbers to quash any resistance to us, gradually eroding the morale and power of the past greats until there is no foundation for it to stand on anymore." Cage spins around on his right heel, resembling a flat sheet of paper. He begins to walk forward, slowly transforming into a three dimensional model--much to the delight of his fans. His sleek, sexy, movie star shades catch the flashes of their cameras and the glint of the spotlight with expert ease. His return from Hollywood could mean only one thing, it could only be directed towards one purpose. A revolution is at hand. A war is at hand! "How do we accomplish this," he says "Even a member of the Sonic Team could figure this out. [i]Mortal Kombat![/i] We capture all the classic outposts, either through peaceful or aggressive means. If I--I mean [i]we[/i], we, can weather [i]Street Fighter[/i], then we can stand up to anything! Yeah!"

[size=1]:Laughs: Heaven's Cloud is an addict That's right, he's hooked, yo So, I'm going to dedicate this rap--to him, this special flow And all of the addicts like him. Bring the lights down to a dim Time to kick this sh*t classic Diana Ross style When I'm done, it's gonna be all dawg [i]piiiiiiiiiiiile![/i] At first I was afraid, oh [i]I was petrified[/i] Kept thinkin' I could never rap with you not on my side I just let your insults slide Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong I stared at the forums for what seemed very long And I grew strong And I so I busted out this hip hop song: Now that this radical is back from his sabbatical Listen up to this cat call All you addicts pop some rocks Fork over those hidden rolls of Benjamin's from your socks It's time to rock some chaos on this block Tick it off like the second hand on a clock I'm the key to your forbidden lock The door's open. Heaven's Cloud--Let's you and I, go on a tour of my neighborhood A setting more hardcore than your hometown of Everwood We'll pass the chronic junkies and heroine monkeys Skip over missing sidewalks and dusty streets to metallic rap beats Where pulling a day intact is one of many feats And it's a fact that growing old is the rarest of treats So enjoy your padded swivel chair, telemarketing without a care Never facing a mugger, never knowing a scare Knowing your next breath, won't be your last taste of air Your biggest problem is getting steak well-done or medium rare But------ [i]I've got all my life to give and I will survive[/i] [i][b]I WILL SURVIVE![/b][/i] Go on now, go walk on out the door Just turn around now 'Coz you're not welcome anymore In the land of hip hop you were a stranger to the core Did you think I'd crumble?

Yeah, the thing that people have to remember is that there is a difference between mature [i]themes[/i] and mature [i]games[/i]. It's hard to say anything that hasn't been said, but I'll post anyway. Plot-wise, mature games explore relationships, religion, politics, discrimination and death--an overall awareness of the world. Titles like [i]Xenogears, Grandia 2, Final Fantasy X,[/i] and aforementioned titles like [i]Ico, MGS,[/i] and [i]Eternal Darkness[/i] all explore mature themes--but they don't exploit them for marketing purposes. When someone dies in a game like the ones mentioned above, it means something. If two people have a relationship, it's not about breasts flopping all over the place or unlocking sexual innuendo. The story is told on a level that allows you to appreciate the complexities of the relationship. Even in [i]Ico[/i], there's just something to appreciate about two innocent children holding hands, while trying to escape certain death. Games like [i]Conker's Bad Fur Day[/i] may have swear words and tongue-in-cheek humor, but at the end of the day, it's really juvenile. It doesn't take an adult to cuss or tell toilet jokes. Adults are aware. That's really what separates children from adults. Today's children are already experienced in sex, drinking, smoking, and violent behavior. It takes an adult to understand the complexities of life, and to make certain connections. As games become a more visual sort of entertainment, it becomes easier to compare them with films. Take a look at [i]American Pie.[/i] It's [b]laden[/b] with sexual themes and vulgarities, but it's obviously not mature--and it's not pretending to be. If anything, it plays off of teenage fantasies and stereotypes. Now, compare it to something like [i]Monster's Ball[/i]. That film features explicit sex scenes--but its plot is deep and believable. It takes a certain understanding to appreciate it. I'm sure that you could also make clear comparisons by exploring cheesy crime films and comparing them with [i]The Godfather.[/i] So, I guess my point is that a mature game is one that asks the gamer to interpret a plot that doesn't rely on cheap gags or exploitation of adult themes and draw their own conclusions from it. Or a mature game is one that challenges the player with clever and challenging puzzles. In the end, I guess it's up to the individual to make the distinction of what they believe is mature or not. I personally think that something like [i]South Park[/i] is mature in many ways because it contains many underlying political and religious messages, and it satires them in clever ways. And I think that those are things that are aimed at adults, things that children won't really understand. You know, even if they do understand the juvenile jokes and swearing on the surface. Oh, and to reply in part to what Semjaza said, the illusion that Nintendo makes "toys" is still apparent just by looking at the GameCube itself. Mine is a purple box with a handle on it. Hopefully, the next console will retain the simplicity of the GameCube, while rocking a better design. As it stands, the GC really does look like a toy.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Juuthena [/i] [B][color=ff00cc] [size=1]Ms. Cockburn: [/color] [/size] [/B][/QUOTE] Hehe, you said Cockburn. Hehe I haven't really had a professor that I absolutely didn't like yet. Some have been a bit dry, but only the ones that deal with about two hundred people. What do you expect, you know? If I ever do get an instructor that I don't like, I won't sweat it. I'll only have to put up with them for one semester. Most of them are young and laid back, so I can't ask for much more. I've had public school teachers that I couldn't stand, though. The first one that gave me a problem was my second grade teacher. Her name was Mrs. Robboy. She picked on me [i]a lot[/i]. I remember when someone stole my book, she yelled at me and told me to keep my desk neater--without even chastising the person who stole it, even when they finally handed it back in front of her. lol Because she picked on me, others in the class did, as well. She even encouraged it sometimes. One time I was absent and because I missed an assignment, she punished everyone else by stalling recess until I had completed it properly (without even knowing the material). After a while, my mom would have to literally chase me around and force me into the car to get me to go to that class. I would hold on to whatever I could get my hands on to avoid going, like I would cling to trees and stuff. Eventually, I just stopped going, so I had to repeat the class. Repeating was probably the best thing for me, so I don't regret it. I made some valuable friends, and my new teacher was nice. I did get Robboy back at a skating party by paying someone to trip her though. The only other teacher I didn't like was named Mr. Eisenhardt. His voice cracked a lot, he wore a pocket protector, and he was very unfriendly. To be sure, he wasn't mean--he was just very serious and boring. But, he didn't give me any problems. So, my odds are pretty good. I've only had two dreadful teachers. The good ones and the lessons they've taught me really outweigh the brief bad experiences. -Eps

[center][img]http://subzero64.hypermart.net/images/facing/cage.jpeg[/img][/center] [b]Character:[/b] [i]Johnny Cage[/i] [b]Reason for Choosing this Character:[/b] [i]Johnny Cage has a really flamboyant personality. I could use that to my advantage and exploit both his charisma and arrogance to make a certifiably annoying bad boy. Just think about it. Johnny Cage, a part of the original Mortal Kombat roster, is largely responsible for establishing violence in gaming. He has punched his opponents' heads off, kicked a hole through their chests, and ripped his fair share of torsos off. He's one bad man and a very underrated one at that. Johnny has long fought for Earth's special forces, so his betrayal of the righteous would be shocking, indeed. Also, he's one of the many game characters to abandon their classic sprite heritage to adopt the more realistic 3D polygon graphics.[/i] [center][img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=404044[/img][/center] [b]My Knowledge of this Character:[/b] [i]I've played every Mortal Kombat game featuring this character that there is to play.

I mean, Mortal Kombat is the franchise where you can literally know the characters from the inside-out.[/i]

Interesting article, Shy. I didn't know that there are ice cream historians. :drunk: Anyway, I don't eat ice cream much. I prefer custard. If I do eat ice cream, I usually mix it up in the bowl so that it's soft. As far as ice cream trucks go--I don't even bother. I'd look ridiculous chasing after those things. I'm much too old for that kind of stuff. Plus, it's very expensive compared to the local custard shop. eps--I'm cool for doing this. XD

I personally don't think that this will be the old school Sonic title that everyone is waiting for, but it's definitely a step up from the Sonic Adventure ports. The teamwork aspect sounds really intriguing. The possibilities it should open up could actually make it the first Sonic game worth playing in quite a while. But, although the partner system doesn't seem to be a worthless gimmick (like the one in Knuckles Chaotix) it does leave me wondering if puzzles might get in the way of the blistering sensation of speed I like in the series. -Eps

Hehe, I'm glad to see that you three enjoyed it. I can't really take credit for finding the pictures though. It was already a joke.

This is basically a spin (~_^) on something Red showed me earlier today. I've been entering the [i]Cat Matrix[/i] for some time now, so it might be time for a change.

I don't freestyle off the Internet. I write lyrics, but I can't actually spit rhymes very well. It's tough. I do have a rap battle going with Heaven's Cloud in the sparring forum though. The link is in my signature if you're interested in reading it. Right now, it's only between the two of us--so no one else may participate yet. I can respect people who freestyle though. Those who do it well impress me greatly. However, I'm not really interested in freestyles that are saturated with nothing but swearing. It defeats creativity, if that makes sense.

A lot of guys wax their body hair to show muscle definition. I don't believe there's anything feminine about it. Anyway, I've been [i]told[/i] by someone who works at a beauty parlor that I'm going there for her brand of treatment (which has caused me to prolong my next haircut). But, when I do go, maybe I'll get an eyebrow waxing or something. Who knows. It won't put me in some sort of masculine crisis though and I won't question my sexuality. You know, I'm not insecure about myself like that or anything. I don't need to be a male stereotype (i.e., a hairy blob that drinks beer and eats chips in front of the tube all day whilst farting). I mean, how many guys are like that really? The number is probably comparable to the number of homosexual guys who prance around hairless wearing makeup. lol

I'm not as articulate offline because I'm able to collect my thoughts better when typing. But, I'm not living vicariously through the Internet or anything. I don't have a dolled up life that I hide behind and I don't try to be something I'm not. TVE (who God bless his soul, tries his best to be like his hero, yours truly) seems to think that I act a bit differently, but he can't put his chubby little finger on it. So, who knows? Maybe I'm more open online? Probably. :shrugs: But, you know, it's not easy being this charismatic--and it's not something that I can easily conceal. So, why be ashamed of it? I let it shine on through, baby! All the peeps whom I talk to regularly know what I mean. Even the uptight ones who have [i]no[/i] sense of humor and talk of nothing but Wallstreet and stocks, like Tony and Lady Asphyxia. Perhaps who I am is hidden by peoples' false impressions or whatever, but I can't please everyone. So, like it or not, everyone here gets 100 percent Charlie all the time. [i]If that [b]iiiis[/b] my real name.[/i] :shifty: That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
