[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lady Macaiodh [/i] [B]ahh.. that explains it. so i need not go into the details of what was wrong w/ it, even though they are hilarious (in retrospect). [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Well, I mean...every car company has good and bad cars. Ford has some amazing cars (Mustang, for example) and some really crappy ol' trucks...it just depends what you're talking about specifically. You were absolutely right about Audi though. I love Audi...their level of quality, design and everything else is unsurpassed...their cars are beautiful :) Ah, there we are...we agree on something. lol ;)[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]You know, Stormbringer...even though we've seen this topic a few times...I have so far been very impressed with the way people have handled it. I mean, we don't have to be talking about politics or something controversial like religion. But it's nice to see people putting forth their thoughts honestly and eloquently. I agree with what you said in your last post...in the sense that, when you're in love...you kind of wonder when you'll hit the bottom. But you never do, it keeps getting stronger and stronger. There is no end to it. I've been in a relationship for two years, with a person that I love very much. And I find now...I love them infinitely more than I did when we first met. You always think that you'll get bored over time...but when you find the right person, the opposite is true. The more you discover about them...the more time you spend with them...the more you grow to appreciate them. And so, the feeling grows over time. I think that's a true indicator as to whether you've found the right person. If you feel yourself getting more bored...then you know they're not necessarily right for you in the long run. But if you feel more in love each time you see them...then you know you've found the right one. :)[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lady Macaiodh [/i] [B]audi all the way. &, sorry james, but i will never buy another ford. i had one once when i was sixteen & it was the absolute worst car in the history of the universe, & i am not joking about that one bit. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Yeah, but I'm not talking about some American Ford bomb...I'm talking about a $60K sportscar designed and built by Ford Australia. There's a big difference. :)[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]Umm, I though the Xbox was $399USD. But it's a rip off anyway. That's why I'm not buying one 'till Christmas next year. For now, I'm sticking with GameCube. There are so many extra costs. You're paying extra for controllers, for memory cards (even though the console has a hard drive...talk about blood sucking the consumer) and you have to buy that remote control to play DVDs...which is a pretty pathetic idea. So all up, you could easily spend close to $499 if you were to buy the controllers, game, memory card and remote. I'd say, buy a GameCube now with a game and controller...and then buy an Xbox next Christmas, when the price has come down. Microsoft will be a bit more sober after it's had a good thrashing in the marketplace and thus, the price shall fall :)[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Squashed Snail [/i] [B] I know. I'm not too good on the history, but I know about the racing :D Just not to sound like an @******, but when Lownds was driving with Holden, he nearly won every race, and he has only won his only championship with Holden. Yeah, Lownds has had an impact on Ford, and it does kind of depend on the driver. But Lownds has only won 1 race with Ford, compared to his stunning 55 races won with Holden! The Ford is good on handling and smooth running, to me.But the only good Ford that I have enjoyed driving in, my dad driving of course, is the original Ford Falcon. When I grow up, I'm definately going to buy me one of those gold Tiger SS Commodore or a Holden Monaro. They are the best :) [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Yeah, but bear in mind that Lowdnes has had many more races with Holden than with Ford and thus, it makes sense for him to win more with Holden. I've always said that Ford should get some new drivers in...half of their drivers suck. Most people in Australia who are pro-Holden or pro-Ford have no idea why they are...you ask "Why do you like Holdens?" and they're always like.."Uhh, cuz they're cool". The current Falcon is the most advanced of any before, and it's significantly better than the VX commodore in my opinion. Having said that, the VX Commodore is awesome. A friend of mine has an orange SS and it's much more refined than the VT. So as you can see, I like both types of cars. I can appreciate the good and bad points of both.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink][b]Don't make fun of SpongeBob!!![/b] It's my little bro's favorite show...and I watch it with him...and I can immitate the laugh... Heh, I bet I'd drive you insane, James :babble:[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Gah...tonight's episode was the one where that Plankton guy was trying to encourage SpongeBob to be proactive...so that he could take over the beach. (A beach underwater? Um...yeah). And SpongeBob's constant stupidity was so annoying...that I had to leave lol. I couldn't watch it. In a strange way, SpongeBob reminds me of SSJGoten...I bet they talk the same...[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]Well, if my first name was Nuclear...then that would be my name in your sig...and you wouldn't know it. But now you know...it's just...odd...to me...still :drunk: But it's cool...cause it's my last name...yeah :excited:[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Buh, well I'm not sure where this conversation is going. So perhaps we should get back to pictures... :D [/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]rotflmao! That's the best one I've heard in a while :excited:[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Hehe...'tis true though. It's my greatest fear. Ever seen Spongebob Squarepants? My younger sibling watch that...and Spongebob's constant stupidity and idiotic voice make me want to squeeze the life out of his little throat... ...err...okay, deep breaths...:nervous: [/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]I agree. And Justin, why not post a piccy of yourself, eh? And again, James, everytime I read a post of yours I see your sig and the capitalized word "Winter". It distracts me because that's my last name...heh, it's just...odd :drunk:[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Hmm...I usually pick up on the Nuclear part. [/color][/size]:wigout:

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Squashed Snail [/i] [B] Ford.........ugh!..............They look like a toad, and they're made out plastic and held together with sticky tape! ....hehe..... Fords suck. Holdens could beat them any day! And just a bit of history here: Holdens won Australian Touring Car Championships: 24 times Fords won Australian Touring Car Championships: 4 times HAHAHA!!!!! [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Uh yeah...but man, you have no understanding of Holden/Ford at all. The cars on the racetrack (by rule) are virtually identical. So it has nothing to do with the cars, it has to do with the drivers. Why do you think Ford is winning so much, now that Craig Lowdnes is driving for them? This proves that it's the driver who makes the car, not the other way round. The AU Falcon's design is far more edgy and modern than the Commodore...which is starting to look like a fat tub of soap lol. Having said that, I'm a fence sitter. I love both Holden and Ford. But you gotta get your history right...Ford are essentially the more "Aussie" car...because the Commodore's underpinnings are shared with the Opel Omega platform (German Commodore equivalent). The AU is also technically superior in a number of areas, including handling, suspension system, braking system and safety technology. Although finally HSV is really going wild...the Maloo Concept shown at Sydney Motor Show 2001 was awesome. I hope they build it. And Navi, these cars are far from ordinary...think about it. In the worldwide context, they are more rare than Ferrari or Lamborghini (and much higher quality...the Italians have pretty cars, but they fall apart very quick). The HSV and Tickford motor cars are also becoming incredibly popular among the hardcore audience in Britain. People are falling over themselves to buy them. So you just gotta keep everything in perspective ;)[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sephiroth [/i] [B] heh, I was thinking the same thing, her mother must see beauty as ugliness, heh.... [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Perhaps her mother is jealous lol.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]Stormbringer's right...in the sense that a lot of people throw the word "love" around when they don't really know what it means. In any case...as good as your post was, Stormbringer...err...we've had this same topic at least twice before. So we might let it progress a little bit more, but I think I'd preferred it if you'd taken the next oldest "love topic" and posted on that, rather than creating a whole new one. Anyway...your post was certainly interesting reading.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]I don't know why anyone would think that Linkin Park is underground...they are sooo mainstream. Here in Australia, Linkin Park is virtually the same as Britney Spears lol...the same kinda people listen to both. But I guess this kind of music tends to go mainstream more quickly over here. I personally don't like Linkin Park at all, it usually tends to be the younger kids who are into 'em. Although I love Rammstein. Their mix of rock and techno is spot on...it works really well. My favourite song from them is Engel, but Tier and Buch Dicht are pretty good too...(lucky most people can't understand the lyrics of the latter, otherwise they'd be very shocked lol). I'm not a [b]huge[/b] rock fan, but I like some Marilyn Manson stuff as well. My favourite song from them is probably Disposable Teens...it has the right mix of great music and lyrics. [/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]Nah, you want some real cars... [URL=http://www.hsv.com.au]Holden Special Vehicles (HSV)[/URL] or...[URL=http://www.ford.com.au]Ford Tickford Experience (FTE)[/URL] [/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]Most sports games suck. I mean, just about every football/soccer/basketball game is the same...and they NEVER do it right. The whole system that they have for sports games is totally wrong...it would be a lot more fun if designed differently. Having said that, some sports games have been done well. I love Athlete Kings by Sega (Decathlete for Americans) which was on the Saturn... And I love the Tony Hawk games as well. SSX and 1080 Snowboarding were also great...but I don't really class those "extreme sports" titles as sports games...not like basketball, football etc.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]Okay...I've found the location of the plot analysis. The original site has moved...but I found it. They also have an analysis of the plot for Silent Hill 2 as well. Now umm...the plot guide is VERY very long. But I really urge you to read the entire thing...I did, and it's brilliant. It explains the game in great detail...and once you've read it, you really feel like you understand it.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Justin [/i] [B]Heh, the Smack Down? Heh heh, that is one of the funniest things anyone has ever said to me on the boards. No, no one took my name. I reregistered because I wanted to use my actual name.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cloud [/i] [B]*sigh* FFIII is for snes FFVI is for psx same game 6 is japenese number 3 is american number they re-did it and used japenese number Simple? [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Final Fantasy VI was for SNES. I think you're talking about FFVII...that was the very first PSX title. However, they have remade a couple (plus Chrono Trigger) in Final Fantasy Chronicles for PSX.[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by RicoTranzrig [/i] [B]Just a side question.... If you've played the first version, umm...did you ever get why Harry jumps back and forth through the different versions of Silent Hill? It's happening again... [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Umm...Rico, I read a HUGE plot analysis on Silent Hill. And it is incredibly complex lol It was professionally written...and when I read it, it made so much sense. I can explain it all for you...but er...not right now. lol. It's very long and drawn out. But when I have the time, I'll explain fully, as I know that many people (including myself) didn't really understand many parts of the game's plot.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]I had some free time tonight/this morning, so I thought I'd make an Otaku Media wallpaper. As you can see, it's nothing spectacular...but something that our most hardcore of fans might be interested in. It's design is based on Otaku Media's newest site (no, not OtakuPoetry), so it might interest some of you in that respect. Anyhoo...I shall now get back to work on Otaku Avatars -_-[/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by NorykoAngelcry [/i] [B]Hehe, sorry for digging up an old posts. . I was bored because from about 1am - 5am, there are like. . two people who visit the board. So I just cycle back through old posts and read them, and figured I would post a reply on this one, since I think Steve did a great job on this wallpaper =) My appologies for any confusion caused *bows* [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Ahh, he's modified the original wallpaper...umm...I forget where it came from. CloudChaser or something. Pretty cool though, I like the bubble effect on the screenshots. I should make some more wallpapers...haven't done anything like that in a while... Anyway, nice job. BTW, it's okay to bring up old topics...I prefer people posting on old topics than creating new ones which are identical.[/color][/size]

[color=crimson][size=1]Ugh, I also have the wrist thing. My worst fear is a drip or something like that...being put in my wrist...uggghhh...the very thought of it makes me sick. I hate anything to do with something penetrating my wrist. lol Other than that, I have "countrymusicophobia", "badtasteophobia" and "ignoramiaphobia". I think I have a slight fear of heights too...but that's probably because I nearly fell out of a carnival ride once when it was about 10 stories high in the air...lol. [/color][/size]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by coolkam007 [/i] [B]does anyone think i look like majin buu munching on a dabora cookie?.. ^_^ TN is a hotty.. (i hardly ever say that about men.. ;) so he must really be a hotty) [/B][/QUOTE] [color=crimson][size=1]Yeah...everyone has said that about TN and now I'm intrigued. I didn't have my contact lenses at that point, so perhaps I just couldn't see it well enough lol... *shrug* Unless he showed a different picture to you or something. I've only shown my picture once on these boards...but it's so crappy, I got it from my school's website lol. And I don't have a scanner or digital camera...so all I have is this stupic picture of me crawling out of a sumo costume...lol[/color][/size]
