[color=royalblue]Yep, I think it's all been covered. OtakuBoards launched as its own entity in April of last year. Though as has been said, it's been around for quite a while in some form. :)[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Defcon5 [/i] [B] I think what he was trying to get at was the only reason kids buy it, is because of all the violance. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=royalblue]He was trying to say that the game was merely violence and had little substance underneath. :) In any case, what you said doesn't surprise me. That is why the [i]majority[/i] of Xbox owners are under 18 -- it's actually kids who tend to go for the more "adult" games. I guess adults are mature enough to generally see that good games can be good games without violence.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by kuja [/i] [B][SIZE=1][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]GTA3 SUCKS... take out the gore, hookers, the main violence, and see how many games it sells then... maybe 1/2 of what it was selling[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=royalblue]GTAIII is a very cleverly designed game. The sheer ability to realistically model a completely three dimensional city has never really been achieved -- even Shenmue didn't achieve it on the same scale. The fact that GTAIII is able to deliver such a realistic world...a world where the various behaviors are so lifelike (and the gameplay is often quite varied) demonstrates that the developers really know what they're doing. I didn't have any problems with GTAIII.[/color]

[size=1]Okay, phew...I hope I get this right lol. I don't know much about Mega Man (I only ever played the first NES game), so I'll try to get it right lol.[/size] [b]Name:[/b] Proteus [b]Age:[/b] 24 Hours (powered up 24 hours prior to the beginning of the story) [b]Height:[/b] 5'11" [b]Weapons:[/b] [list] [*]1x Multi-Adjustable Electron Buster - Capable of being adjusted to multiple settings (range, spread, power etc) [*]1x Adaptive Shield - Capable of changing shape and texture [*]1x Particle Accelerator Gun - High-powered handgun used primarily against machine/synthetic enemies [/list] [b]History:[/b] During his early years, Dr. Light began working on a secret project entitled "Project Lightspeed". The primary directive of the project was to engineer a robot with specialized metallic surfaces, which were able to change their physical properties at will. The process was a difficult one, because such technology required a special titanium alloy, which could only be created in a laboritory setting. Furthermore, Dr. Light realized that utilizing one single CPU would not be enough -- each adaptive part of the body would require its own processing capabilities. This led to various mockup models which had all sorts of malfunctions; some robots would begin firing at nothing, some would be attracted to strong light and fly directly into any light source and some were unable to control their adaptive limbs. Dr. Light knew that his goals were too complex, so instead he decided to focus on a model which had adaptive weaponry and armor, rather than a 100% adapative body. The model in question was labeled "P-120x". P-120x was unique in the sense that it was capable of smoothly controlling its own Electron Buster Cannon with ease -- the robot was able to manipulate the various properties of the cannon, allowing it to control rate of fire, power of fire and spread of attack. Dr. Light also added this feature to the model's feet, giving it various supplemental abilities, such as the ability to walk on air (hover) as well as the ability to walk on metal walls and ceilings (magnet). Moreover, the P-120x was capable of repairing itself and others as well as upgrading by way of limb-additions. For example, Dr. Light intended on constructing various kinds of feet and hand weaponry which could easilly be attached to the robot. Dr. Light also produced a pair of specialized contact lenses, which contained microscopic titanium fibres. The fibres would rearrange themselves based upon electronic impulses provided by the machine's cornea. The idea was that the eyes themselves would not need to be modified -- but rather, the contact lenses could easily adapt to any situation (night vision, infra-red etc) and could be replaced if severely damaged. As time went by, Dr. Light realized that his pet project would have to wait. He took P-120x and lay him in a storage capsule in one of his warehouses. He then wrote a letter and stuck it on the front of the capsule: [i]"To whoever finds this capsule, I am unsure how the world will be when I am gone. The future holds many unanswered questions. I am concerned that Dr. Wily isn't finished and I know that he will not stop until he has achieved complete dominance. If you stumble upon this capsule and you are sympathetic to my cause, I urge you to activate this model. He will help you in your quest. If you decide to activate him, you will find his serial code on the side of this capsule. Simply enter the code into the keypad under his chest plate. Godspeed, Dr. Light"[/i] Sure enough, a severe bomb blast destroyed most of the warehouse in a firefight. A figure emerged near the capsule and leant over it, reading the note. It was Flash. He was shocked and surprised to see the capsule laying there in the dust -- it had never been opened. He read the inscription on the capsule, which read [b]"P-120x 'Proteus Unit' "[/b]. And that is how Proteus' life began. [b]Persona:[/b] Proteus has just been awakened. For the last 24 hours, he was hooked to a docking bay where he charged up. He is a blank slate with very little understanding of the world around him. And soon, Flash (or someone else) will need to activate him when his power levels are completely charged.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Warlock [/i] [B] Yes James, if you're involved, it's [i]never[/i] too late to join. Though I'd prefer it if you went this RPG's sign-up thread... And because I'm so nice, here's the link:[URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9704]http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9704[/URL] There you go all gracious leader... [/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]Alrighty, no problem. Anyway, on with the RPG...I won't interrupt anymore. (I suspect that Dark_Apocalypse will be kicked out sometime soon lol).[/size]

[color=royalblue]This movie is going to [i]suck[/i]. It's a spinoff of what was already a very questionable movie lol. Ugh.[/color]

[color=royalblue]Yes! The answer to the question nobody asked is finally online! lol Those of you who visit theOtaku.com regularly will no doubt see Adam's lovely announcement...(and don't be surprised if you don't see Adam for a while, his little comments made me quite violent...and as a result, he's unable to update). Ahem... Teknoman isn't a very well known anime, but I hope that at least our new site may encourage some of you to go and find it...it's very worthwhile. :) Furthermore, I'm going to be investing more time on theOtaku.com in future. And I'm considering running a second section...as I said in another thread, I'd like to know what people really want to see on the site. In any case, I hope everyone enjoys theOtaku.com: Teknoman. :)[/color]

[size=1]Hm, is it too late to join? Perhaps my character can be new, given that I'll have to learn as I go along...lol[/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Amphion [/i] [B]Well you too are right to a point but I do beleive, and its my opinion, that knowing someone is the person you want to be with the minute you see them is possible. My dad for one said even though he dated other people he still knew that he wanted her to be his wife. My mom did not date much but she said she always knew deep down that she would marry him. Now this could be a communistic lie bu i dont think people would just make something like that up to tell their son. I have also heard stories from othe rpeople that were similar to that. Once again, you cant base everything on that but its good enough, I think, to prove that it is possible. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=royalblue]Well, I don't think that it's a lie...it's a nice romantic story. In truth, they wouldn't have been in love right away; that's just not what love is. That is lust. Relationships will always start with lust and what people have in common. The true beauty of a relationship is its ability to evolve and grow into love over time. :)[/color]

[i]Early that morning, Satoru and Denki got out of bed and dressed in their Shinra Guard uniforms. Satoru checked his watch; it was 6:10am when the pair exited the Inn. They began walking along the the street infront of the Inn, which led directly to City Square in the middle of Junon. There were various posters hanging against lamp posts and on buildings. Each poster had a photograph of a Shinra soldier doing something foolish; one poster showed three soldiers drinking beer and laughing, while another poster displayed a single Shinra soldier juggling. The advertising was for the annual Junon Festival, a festival which included a parade of Shinra soldiers through City Square, as well as various other activities and shows.[/i] Satoru: Ah yes, this will be the perfect way to get to Midgar. Denki: Wha? Satoru: We'll just join the march later this evening...it starts at about 7pm Junon time. We'll particpate in the march...and when all the soldiers spread out, we will climb aboard one of the local Soldier Transport Vehicles. Denki: Oh. Won't they know that we don't belong there? Satoru: We'll just say we were fixing something... Denki: Ok. Satoru: Okay...well, we have a lot of time to kill. We had best stay out of the main streets just incase...

[color=royalblue]Hmm, interesting. I don't believe in "love at first sight" for two reasons. First, it's impossible to [i]love[/i] someone when you first see them. Sure, it might be [i]lust[/i]...but it's not love. Love is something which takes time to mature. The second point is related to the first, in the sense that as you learn more about a person...you fall more in love with them. When you first meet someone, you know how they look...and not much else. So you can only lust after them -- you can't actually be "in love" with them. And that is why I think that if you've been going out with someone for a year or two, you can really tell whether or not you want to marry them. If, after a year or two, you are more in love than you were during the first couple of months...then you know you're really in love. But if it starts feeling more tired and drawn out as time goes on...then you know you're not really in love with the person. It's pretty straight forward...and I think a lot of people get married really quickly, which means that they haven't taken the time to really discover whether they're truly in love or not. :) Ugh, I hope that made sense...I'm really tired. lol[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by MaggotDude [/i] [B]Yeah, me too!I was originally gonna get one, but I switched to the Xbox, and now they're announcing all these awesome GameCube games! :( I totally need a GameCube [/B][/QUOTE] [color=royalblue]Yeah, it was quiet for a moment...but the momentum is really starting to increase now. I mean, not only do we get the announcement of F-Zero AC/GC recently...but Yu Suzuki confirmed that the new Virtua Fighter for GameCube is NOT the kid version...but is actually a [i]Virtua Fighter RPG[/i] which will be exclusive to GameCube. Sounds good to me. :tasty: [/color]

And now, those elements are famous. :)[/color]

[color=royalblue]Erm, you don't need translations...I mean, there are translations in the game itself. :) You just have to find the papers which tell you what the symbols mean. Anyway, I didn't really like Onimusha...it was so damn boring. It was like Resident Evil but less scary lol.[/color]
