I wasn't too fond of the characters either. With the exception of a few characters (Cid, for instance), many of the models came across as stiff and mannequin-like. Also, their hair never seemed to brush in their faces; it was pretty idle. [I]And[/I] the characters didn't shed tears or show physical damage very well. I'm nitpicking a bit, I know. Overall, the visuals were fantastic. At times I almost forgot that it was computer generated. It's just that some little details reminded me that I wasn't watching real people. The actual film was [i]pretty good[/i]. I certainly can't complain about the voice actors or the production. But, I kind of feel that the movie baited and mislead its audience a bit. Instead of catering to sci-fi fanatics, it should have been targeted towards fans of the video game series. Meaning, it should have been a fantasy/adventure film. There was little in the actual story that suggested that I was watching "Final Fantasy." Perhaps if they had integrated more elements from the game, such as chocobos and magic, I would be more content. Also, instead of trying to replicate real people, I'm sure that a more fantastical approach (like the aforementioned Shrek) could have been even more impressive. The portrayal of emotion is more important to me than accurately modeled, albeit, robotic people. As a sci-fi movie, it did what it had to. The plot was a little convoluted and dry for my tastes though. The big kiss scene [I]really[/i] annoyed the hell out of me. [spoiler]It didn't make much sense to me why two people would find a moment to rekindle their passion [b]directly[/b] after their friends were massacred. Instead, they should have saved the kiss for when he sacrificed himself for her in the crater. As it stands, the moment seemed too "Hollywood" for my liking.[/spoiler]

It's been a while since I've talked to you--the guy with the Swedish fish, lol. I haven't seen your name on my list in ages! It's always refreshing to see that people are so comfortable in being themselves around here though. Your sexuality doesn't make me look at you any differntly as a person at all. It was pleasing to hear that you were upfront with your parents, as well. I know that being open isn't always easy. But, parents love their children no matter what. They might be shocked, or in denial right now, but they'll come around. There's nothing wrong with being yourself. I'm sure that they want you to be happy. I'm very proud of you.

[center][color=blue][I]I only wanted a bite to eat--just a nibble. What's the harm in that? After all, I am a wolf and my belly was growling louder than I was! I was running on empty. Deku sticks just weren't cutting it anymore. I had an insatiable urge to eat something more filling. It's a "dog eat dog" world out here, ya' know?[/I][/color][/center] Sam stumbled backwards, the slick ground stubbornly rejected her feet. Her large, emerald eyes reflected the wolfish prize fighter lurching towards her with purpose. She could smell its pungent breath, feel the thick heat bearing down upon her like a heavy mask. It was a moment like no other. Sam felt as if she was trapped behind the glass walls of a childhood dream. Two glowing pearls had her number. Musky gray trees grinned down upon her. Her worst fear,materialized, was treading her way. But she wouldn't wake up, wouldn't find comfort in a safe world, far removed from danger and haphazard circumstance. She missed her village in the worst way--even the large boulders that rolled about for no reason. At least they didn't have teeth--gleaming daggers. [center][i][color=blue]That's when I met Sam. It wasn't exactly under the friendliest of circumstances to be sure. I'll admit it--I was a [I]little[/I] grumpy. Only the night before, a torrent of rain swept over my home, reducing it to nothing more than a hole in the side of a mountain. Well, it was a hole in the side of the mountain to begin with, I'll grant you that, but the wife had just redecorated, licked the walls clean of moss and centipedes. She was sick of asking me to kill them for her, said I could be such a baby sometimes.[/i][/color][/center] [size=1][color=red][I][b]Sam,[/size][/color][/I][/b]" June shrieked like a caged bird. The small fairy darted back and forth frantically, helpless and horrified. She tried pulling at the wild dog's ears, but it shook itself free with ease. Frustrated, but unnerved, she kicked at its eyes only to be snapped at by its slobbering jaws. June rested her hands on her hips momentarily and blew a strand of stray hair out of her eyes. Sam still wasn't moving; she was a statue grafted in frozen terror. June knew that a storm of memories and reoccuring nightmares whirled within the girls' head. Death loomed ever-so closely. A marriage of tangled gray fur and violent hunger stalked with unwavering persistance. But, the girl's gaurdian would not be deferred. Letting out a small battle cry, June flashed through the air like a streak of lightning and seized the wretched hound's tail. [center][color=blue][i]I couldn't believe how well things were going! I was a little worried at first. Who wouldn't be? The sword on her back was huge and sharp! And, well, :cough: you know that things weren't exactly going sunny for me as of late. But, kids like dogs. I could tell by the look on her face, that deep down inside, she wanted to pet me. Well, maybe not. Anyway, that's when some pesky bug started buzzing about. It was a mean little sucker. Who would have thought that something so small would make a difference?[/center][/color][/i]

When I hear the word "geek," I automatically think of clumsy adolescents going through puberty, with their voices cracking and changing. I picture thick, black-rimmed glasses and mouth retainers. Suspenders, pocket protectors and a really bad sense of fashion style also come to mind. Should geeks have a scary obsession with comic books and Dungeons & Dragons? Most definitely. It's only natural that these traits classify a geek because the geek stereotype is so vividly painted out for us in the media and in school. Personally, I would consider someone to be a geek if they pretend to be something they are not in order to fit into a crowd. Usually their actions are so obviously artificial and silly that I can't help but to laugh. Especially when the facade involves slang, lol. SuperMuffin's post pretty much explains how children may sometimes call others geeks just because they're different or don't fit into a particular group. It's just immaturity at that level. Hmph, I guess that I would consider older people who put down others constantly, geeks [i]themselves[/I]. I mean, they're making others feel bad in an effort to mask their own insecurity. You know? Anyway, yeah, "geek" can also be a playful term for when someone says something silly. It's pretty broad nowadays. To each his own I guess. :shrugs:

Carmela's eyes flashed with hatred and humiliation, she ground her heels into the dirt. Her limbs twitched with fury and her cheeks were flushed a rosy pink and vermilion. But, her mouth twisted into a smile, emitting deceptive warmth. She assured Jaudiar that she and Axle were "old friends" and that they were merely "catching up." Her large lips pursed into a mock pout, she batted her long eyelashes tauntingly at chaos incarnate, completely oblivious of the danger standing before her. Axle coaxed Jaudiar into the sleek vehicle, assuring her that there were more important matters to attend to, such as world domination and fulfilling several vendettas. Plus, Axle wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes--he needed to calm his own nerves. Her hands disappeared into his large fists as he held her close and lowered her excitement. She finally seized her emotions by the reins and allowed Axle to whisk her away. As their car whooshed off into the night, Carmela remembered one distinctive morsel of information. Her chest heaved up and down in excitement. Her fingers could literally [I]feel[/I] the life draining out of Jaudiar's body, under her firm grasp. "This won't be good for the kid," Axle had whispered in her ear. They didn't know she had heard it, they thought their whispers had fallen dead in the wind. Tossing her hair behind her head, she peered over into the darkness. Her eyes met that of her John's and a small mob of street punks and junkies. Little did Axle and Jaudiar know, that Carmela was more than what she seemed. [I]She had written the letter[/I] and now it was time to collect her ransom. Bearing a wide grin, like a ravenous dog, Ms. Jones' began to taste Axle's pain; she knew how to hurt a man. Flinging herself into the night, she prepared to strip away what he held most dearly.

I've never condoned this sort of topic. This is the Sony forum, so you're probably going to recieve biased responses. The replies thus far are from good sources, but I suggest you do some hands on research. Read the "Console Wars" thread and research the online plans, software, etc. relating to each console to determine which suits your tastes. But, judging from your avatar, I don't think you're going to benefit from trading consoles. lol [center][img]http://cwb.250free.com/Others/thatsfinal.jpg[/img][/center]

The main thing I want to see is the inclusion of Sonic the Hedgehog and a few of his friends. I've waited for an all-out war between Sonic and Mario for long enough. I've seen flash movies and advertisements that suggest one is better than the other, but I want to know once and for all whether the plumber can keep up with Sonic's powerful blast processing. Aside from the inclusion of Sega namesakes, I would like to see the one player adventures expanded. Of course, I know that the meat of the game is supposed to lie in multiplayer, but playing through a 2-D Mario and Zelda level almost bring a nostalgic tear to my eye. :sniffles: The gameplay could be balanced to favor skill over luck as well. I don't think that the game should rely [I]too[/I] heavily on skill, but slightly deeper game play wouldn't hurt.

I can't really comment about other boards; I don't visit them. I have made this place my home as far as online forums are concerned. I don't really feel like starting over where everything is foreign to me. Plus, I don't want to spread myself out too thin. I'd rather spend generous time at one place and be able to take my time and enjoy myself, rather than make rounds around the internet. Occasionally I browse GameFaqs, but I would never dream of becoming an active member. There's too much idiocy there, like flaming and the worst post quality I've seen this side of Kuja. I've really grown a lot here, built up some nice memories and met some genuinely cool people. The poetry and gaming forums are a little slow, but the quality kind of makes up for it. Plus, I like the atmosphere. I mean, this is a cool place to relax, where prejudice is tossed aside and everyone's accepted. I'm not saying that there aren't other forums where people are treated respectfully, but this is it for me, lol. I doubt I can go anywhere else and join a fight club or be another man's husband. O.o;; You can take the otaku out of the white boy but you can't take the white boy out of the otaku.

[size=1]A dark mask lowers over his eyes There are no tears to dry, no tears left to cry Wished he knew his father's face, not just his name Wished his mother loved him just the same Mom had been turning tricks since she was sixteen years old Five to seven a night, twenty-five dollars a throw Stabbed, raped, stomped, kidnapped, beaten up, leading a life so cold Never learned to ride a bike or jump rope, had a son she could never hold. Gangs were his family, the street was home They didn't live, they struggled, hanging from a splitting rope Drug posses carve up the streets, outgunning police with Uzis and Glocks Now silence hangs over him, it's almost too much to cope Silence only punctuated by boat whistles and hissing junkies running his pockets for dope. Two-thirds of his world have collapsed or burned Going to Sunday Mass to look for cookies and blinding stray dogs are the only lessons he's learned. Row houses, gutted factories, and boarded shops are what he had known Aimlessly wandering on a graveyard for other peoples' problems was a life he'd earned. The night's bitter hands brushed over his face Along with painful memories so thick, he couldn't brush them away He has seen four friends die in drug wars Now his own epitaph would be added to graffiti murals adorning walls of vacant lots and abandoned stores. It could happen to anybody and now it was his time No more coping in a desolate nest of cruelty and crime He lie amongst cigarette butts, glass shards and ash He was no longer scared, no longer in pain His body stopped trembling he lie perfectly still, brutally slain Happiness was something he had known so little of He had already spent fifteen years in hell so he stared, eyes fixed on the twinkling heavens above Whispering again and again "God, please take me home and give me your love."[/size]

Heh, Ed Boon was correct when he attributed the media's heavy focus on Mortal Kombat not on just the violence presented in the game, but on the popularity of the game as well. I've seen the fuss about GTA III and Vice City, but I don't believe it's much worse than a rated R movie. If anyone's ever seen "Dead Presidents," or countless other movies, they'd know that its gunfights are much more graphic than the ones in Grand Theft Auto. And, there can be violence against women, but it's not exploited. It's treated the same way as violence against males.

The only themes I can place on a DragonBallZ character at the moment are "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" for my mentor Mr. Buu and "Voodoo Child" for Mr. Satan. I know that the lyrics in "Voodoo Child" include something like "Chop down a mountain with the edge of my hand." What else could more perfectly fit the man who can single handedly chop nineteen tiles [I]at once[/I]? Plus, it's my hero, Hollywood Hogan's theme, and Mr. Satan, as some of you know, reminds me of the Hulkster. "YEAH!" :delivers peace sign.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by REVENGE2 [/i] [B]What is the origonal name for God? When romanised, it's Yahweh, but technicly, it should be spelled YHWH, as Hebrew has no vowles. [/B][/QUOTE] It's interesting that you bring up Yarway. I've always thought that Yarway seemed like an entirely different character than the Christian God that apppears in the New Testament. In the old testament he seemed anthropomorphic, walking through the Garden of Eden, enjoying the cool breeze--entirely different that the God that appears in Job. Oddly enough, he wasn't omniscient either; he didn't know where Adam and Eve were hiding and didn't know that they had tasted the forbidden fruit until after he noticed that they had covered themselves up. Of course, like other classics sex began civilization and separation from nature. I found it interesting too, how the Yarway version of God feared man actually obtaining the power of the Gods through tasting the fruit of immortality. I'm not arguing with anything you said this time, just building off it with my own interpretations and beliefs. :cool:

I would like to see a three or four part series that encompasses the entire DragonBall universe, similarly to how the Lord of The Rings was played out. The first movie could begin with DragonBall and graduate onto DragonBallZ and finally touch upon the finer points of DragonBall GT or at the very least, incorporate some aspects from it. Of course, each movie would be three hours long or so. That is the only way I could imagine the transition to big screen working out effectively.

I've always argued in favor of school uniforms. Typically people protest by saying that uniforms deprive individuals of their unique identity. With a smile, I say "Step in front of any classroom and it's obvious that people long to belong." Your experiences illustrate this perfectly. Most people are conformists. They want to feel comfortable--they don't want to stand out. Rarely can I look at anyone and get a reasonable indication of who they are based on clothing. Sure, I can get a general idea, but most people dress similarly to one another. Even goth styles aren't really unique anymore; so many people have adopted them. The best way to be your own person is by acting like yourself. It's that simple. Relying heavily on fashion to do that job just won't cut it. Just think about it. When you get out of school and into the real world, you'll likely be placed into an environment where are required to wear a uniform. People will idenitfy with you because of who you are. Teachers and employers will respect you because of how hard you work and how responsible you are. I believe that it's great that you and your friends wear what makes you feel comfortable. The sophmore should do the same. The hell with people who don't accept you based on dress. They're superficial, ignorant and not worth impressing anyway. In the end, you'll earn the most valuable friends by being true to yourself and to others.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by REVENGE2 [/i] [B]-Actually, do you even know what the anarchy theory entails? It basicly says that without a governemnet then people will be fine on their own. Sure, every once in a while you get a real psychopath. And, when it first comes around, there's going to be a long period of the darker sides of anarchy. But eventually, things settle down and work themselves out. [/b][/quote] Yo, check it. A theory is simply that, abstract reasoning. You can't assume that everyone has the same common sense and form a theory out of it. When I think of anarchy, I think of political disorder and confusion or a lack of authority or cohesive principles. And really, if there's no order, who is to say who is and isn't a psychopath? Every society doesn't condemn murder or rape. You've probably been raised in a civil society that [I]does[/I] indeed frown upon such actions, so you feel that it's common sense to avoid such things. [Quote][b]-This is very much like Legalism. That means, you're assuming that people are naturally bad and evil and prone to do bad and evil things, and only strict guidelines and a system of punishments will keep them in line. First started in China, it did. Anyway, assume all you want, but I refuse to believe that people are either good or evil, lawful or chaotic, or even neutral at heart. We just [i]are[/i][/b][/quote] Assume all I want? You're doing most of the assuming, my friend. lol. You're placing enough confidence in a large society with no written laws to think that they'll retain civil values. Look at the gangs and criminals presently roaming the streets. Now, take away all means of punishment. Of course, they'll steal and violate other peoples' safety. [i]But[/I], with no law enforcement, who will stop them? Citizens will have to respond directly to violators to protect what is theirs. The end result will be a perpetual state of terrorism and violence where there's little safety. A civilized society needs rules and there's no proof to prove otherwise. [quote][b]-That is a good point. Like I said, occasionaly psychopaths will come up. But, you said 'what I'm doing is perfectly legal'. The correct answer to that would be no, it's not legal, because there is no law for it to be legal or illegal by.[/b][/quote] [I]Right[/I]. You know what I mean. It is acceptable. But who says that they're psychopaths? After all, murderers and thieves are just doing what they believe is the right thing to do. I really don't see why anyone would work twelve hours a day when they can simply organize a mob and ransack others. [b][quote]-Actually, that's not true. The Digiexperience had no rules, and the only reason why it keeps collapsing is because...You know, I don't actually know why, but it's not because of the lack of rules. Something to do with the fact that the server sucks ***. Also, there is another board, the Digimon Lab, which has been without administraitors or moderators for quite some time now - years. The only problem we have is that we've also been without more then ten members for a very long time, so weeks or even a month can pass without a new post. Regardless, there are no moderators or administraitors to enforece rules. However, we aren't at each other's throats. We're very mellow.[/b][/quote] You're comparing a fairly inactive board with less than a dozen members to a large community. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. That's like comparing a society with ten people to a society with three thousand and saying that the same rules apply to both and yield the same effects. I know that it's a bit silly, but I was trying to demonstrate that a large online community can't enjoy a quality existence without rules let alone a [b]real[/b] community. [b][quote]-What the hell are you smoking...? Give me some of it some time, because it REALLY works. Sorry to be so blunt, but WHY WON'T PEOPLE JUST OPEN THEIR EYES?![/b][/quote] Huh? I'll be blunt too. What are [b]you[/b] talking about? I've already stated in this thread that I'm not religious. I'm a big boy, no one forces me to read the bible, they never have. But, at the same time I respect those who are religious and I find it extremely rude to disrespect their beliefs by burning a religious text. Let people have their faith; it's an individual's personal choice whether they believe in the bible or not and you shouldn't attack it. And the bible [I]did[/I] establish a set of values that helped govern early society. I don't need to take drugs to recognize what's directly in front of my face. [b][quote]-Okay, first of all, if Christians had gone from the slave pits and being tossed at the lions to helping all those in need and never doing to others what was done to them, I could understand. However, once they got power, what did the Christians do? Set about destroying all 'pagan' religions. Rome was strong for three reasons - A powerful military, a strong economy, and tollerance. Once the Christians gained power, they lost the key factor - the tollerance. Following the loss of tollerance, the other two of course fell. You need three sides to have a triangle, after all.[/quote][/b] Okay, yeah, this has nothing to do with what we're talking about. What are [I]you[/I] smoking? [b][quote]A bunch of rambling about Monty Python and how evil Christians are and: Next time you open that book of yours, consider thinking less of what 'order' it may or may not bring, and instead think of the millions of lives sacraficed meaninglessly to get that order.

I'm just saying that the commandments laid forth a set of values that served as building blocks in creating the civil society we have today and that we need laws to keep that society in order. That was the last passage I'll address because I don't want to delve even further off topic. I don't think that government or presidential policy really have a place here. The point to this entire post is that if you ask me what I believe in, I won't answer with a religion. But I will tell you that I believe in some form of God and that law and order are vital in our lives not for the purpose of earning us admittance into paradise, but in preserving balance in the time we do have on earth.

I feel somewhat like an outcast. I was apparently one of the few people who simply hates the Tenchu series. The stealth aspect just wasn't very impressive (paling in comparison to MGS) and the graphics were plain ugly. They were pitch black and the texture tearing was awful. I understand that ninja lurk about at night, but the lack of background imagery was really a turnoff. Perhaps the story and game play can make up for it. The shots your provided in your post feature some nice shading and texturing on the character models but everything else looks reminiscent of a PSX game. The actual modeling is poor and the textures appear to be very blurry.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by REVENGE2 [/i] [B]I personaly think the best thing anyone could do with their time is to simply burn any book which tells you how you should live your life, and instead simply go with the flow and do what YOU think is right. Because in the end, what you think is right generaly goes along with what those books are telling you to do anyway. I don't think it's right to kill or steal. Thus, I do not kill or steal. That's just common sense. [/B][/QUOTE] By that same token, should we burn all legal documents and live under total anarchy? I'm sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. lol. Rules and guidelines are necessary in life. People need consequences and repercussions for their actions. If people are left under their own discretion and simply do as they please, we're faced with a "system" of chaos. You say that it's wrong to kill and steal because it's what you have been taught. If we didn't have order to tell you that it's wrong to do such things, then you wouldn't believe that they're wrong. The bible helped introduce compassion to the world. There wasn't a cohesive law enforcement system to stop people from commiting crimes, so they were told that they would go to hell. Moving on, what [I]I[/I] belive is a proper way of behaving could be completely subjective. What if I enjoy raping and plundering? Who is going to stop me if what I'm doing is perfectly legal simply because I feel it's right? I don't really disagree with what the bible did. It was written to establish laws and guidelines to help govern people and their everyday lives. At the time it was written, people didn't travel--they were afraid of nature. Bandits and "monsters" plagued the earth. So, it kind of gave them hope and the feeling that they were safe. It established order. Even today, a subjective system would be too broad. It would be like taking a huge step backwards in society. Without rules, this little online forum would fall apart. Could you imagine how reality would crash? The economy, safety, education--it would all be gone. Burning the bible or any other religious document isn't really necessary either. If you don't like it, there's no need to disrespect something that helped to shape society. Just don't read it. It doesn't apply to you unless you accept it.

The street crawled with shady-looking characters, hustlers and derelicts. The white in their eyes glowed in the darkness, glowed with the juices of insanity. They were withdrawn and removed. But, they were rats, not cats. They were low on the vermin food chain, measly drug pushers, petty crooks and panicky murderers--maggots that Axle and Jaudiar could readily grind under their heels at any given time. They would need to go [I]higher[/I], catch the big fish. Now wasn't the time to bait for minnows--they were after a shark, a silver bullet with razor blade teeth. Rajaah immediately came to mind. Obviously, Axle's plan to bait a shark with the aforementioned minnows didn't work. Then again, [I]was it Rajaah?[/I] He would have probably addressed the letter to Jaudiar. Axle was nothing to him. "Let's go," Jaudiar said flatly, "we're wasting our time here." "Right," Axle replied, "but where? I'm not exactly the most popular guy on the planet, but I am one of the most famous. Any two-bit ghost chaser or sorcerer could have my number." Jaudiar removed a piece of gum, rested it on her tongue delicately, and pulled it into her mouth. "Yes, but this one seems to be intimately familiar with you," she replied approaching the car, "or did you forget that?" Jaudiar's heels clicked against the slick pavement, echoing in the night. Axle motioned as if he was going to open the door for her, but she shrugged him off and melted through the steel and fiber glass as if it were liquid. "[I]Right[/I]," he said, his cheeks burning with a slight tinge of red. That's when Axle caught a different kind of predator's smoldering eyes. Carmela Jones, 27, was young but already infamous on the streets, a human drug. She never made promises, but had broken more marriages than the Vietnam War. Not noticing Jaudiar, she stalked Axle, switching wildly, moving in all the right places. Axle tried to brush by her, tried to escape her tender touch, but he quickly found her arms around his body, digging into the lithe, muscular form. "What are you afraid of," she asked grinding against him, "I've never met a rock star who's afraid of a pretty, young woman." Her voice was thick and sweet like honey. Carmelle kissed his nose, a strap slid off her shoulder, halfway down her arm. She smelled of cheap liquor and heavy perfume. Axle's tension increased.

Well, I certainly appreciate the work that has gone into this and I'm a little flattered by the invitation, so I may as well attempt to get in and try to make it work. [B]Name:[/B] Charles Loughlin [B]Your Character Name:[/B] Calonice Lysistrata (The Rosary Knight) [b]Email Address:[/b] [email][email protected][/email] [b]Location:[/b] I can be contacted most readily on my public AOL screen name: [b]elcrazywhiteboy[/b] or you could simply pm me. [center][U][B]Other Information[/u][/b][/center] [B]People, Places and Misc.:[/B] [B]The Rosary Knight:[/b] When swords sing and the corpses of men litter the lands, there is usually blood stained on the Rosary Knight's hands. Little is known of this ambiguous being. But, he has had great impact on not only the battlefield, but in inspiring literature and art as well. Soldiers, men, become excited boys stretching and exaggerating their experiences with the knight into grand mythos. Scops (poets) sing of his legendary campaigns and artists develop their own unique interpretations of what lies under his helm. This chivalrous warrior has risen from myth to social reality. It is said that each swing from the knight's sword is powerful enough to cut down five men. Following a battle, the mysterious fighter drops a rosary on his victims' chest, allowing them to make peace with God in their final moments, hence the nickname. Some believe that the Rosary Knight is a warrior sent forth from the heavens to extract revenge on man on behalf of an angry God. [b]Calonice Lysistrata:[/b] Calonice is the youngest daughter of five in the royal family. In her society, women are kept at the back of the house--sequestered. Their main function was to be a breeding machine. Calonice, being of royal blood, is exempt of such a menial life. Nonetheless, she will never take the throne. She ranks equally with servant boys, faced with the task of serving mead to soldiers. As a child, she secretly harbored a deep-seeded fascination with combat. For a time, she disguised herself as a boy and partook in training with other youth and excelled. Her abilities and natural talent pushed her ahead of her peers. This was a curse, however, because it lead to the discovery of her identity. I don't want to go on too much longer, because I want to make this as brief as possible, but she secretly continued her training with servants and low class warriors. Over time, she developed a love interest with one of these warriors. When he fell on the battle field, she snuck out of the castle, as she done many times in her youth and approached a blacksmith, her identity veiled, and paid a great deal of money for her armor. She is the Rosary Knight, spreading her justice where she pleases, holding alliances with no one.

War is constant. Kings struggle to pay their thanes and soldiers can become slaves at any time. [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=329423[/img]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sephiroth [/i] [B]So what is the news with Rhyno now? It has passed 24 hours so you would be able to tell by now whether Rhyno has been poisoned or not [/B][/QUOTE] I was talking to Cyko about this last night and he told me that Rhyno seems to be just fine.

I just purchased the "Controller S" and my feelings are a little mixed. It feels nice in my hands compared to the original controller, but the placement of the black and white buttons is a bit odd and the "start" and "back" button location is almost unmanagable for me. I'll probably continue to use the S controller though. It [I]just[/I] edges out the original design. To be sure, I'll have to get a little more time with it.
