  1. It was in my signature actually (Dagger did it automatically), but I wound up removing it because there was no room for my help request for a site I was working on. Now that I got the help, I guess I should just put it back in there for a short while.
  2. [QUOTE=liam mc]WOW that trailer is amazing, i have to thank for that. Now the suspense is killing me *lol* It's been said to be realeased May 6th in the UK, i can't wait that long :animecry:[/QUOTE] I don't know who told you that, but that's before E3 even takes place. That's not happening, it's set for more of a Christmas release.
  3. Nintendo made some massive announcements today (Revolution will be backwards compatible, wi-fi out of the box, DS is going online via wireless internet, Animal Crossing DS is internet ready, etc).... But they also showed a new Zelda trailer. Here's an image from Gamespot. I'll add more to this in a bit. [IMG]http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2005/068/reviews/920769_20050310_screen006.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2005/068/reviews/920769_20050310_screen005.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2005/068/reviews/920769_20050309_screen001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2005/068/reviews/920769_20050309_screen003.jpg[/IMG] Trailer: [url]http://www.nintendo.com/gameminiav?gameid=54610f14-1826-4d46-9981-8f72874aee2e&[/url] IGN also has a free, low res one on their site.
  4. It seem as though when websites get ads from certain agencies, this sort of thing is unavoidable. I doubt there's little that could be done about it, short of getting rid of any connection with these places... which I can't see being beneficial. There's ways around it, as you've found. I think if anyone is that annoyed by it they'd find that out as well.
  5. Blood: The Last Vampire. Mostly because it didn't live up to the hype. Yes, it was digitally animated, but that's not enough to carry a film... even if that film is only like 40 minutes long. I don't know what people loved so much about it. I wrote a review for it on theOtaku, but for some reason it's not up there anymore. It was on the original review site.
  6. [QUOTE=The Drizzle][COLOR=DarkGreen][FONT=Verdana]-Thrice: Elanor Rigby/Beatles I know, no one can touch the beatles. well i was never that big of a beatles fan anyway. the song isnt great or anything, but if you like the beatles but want a heavier version, then this is where to go[/FONT].[/COLOR][/QUOTE] godhead also does a really good version of this song. Eleanor Rigby seems pretty good from any decent band. It has that quality about it, I guess.
  7. [QUOTE=Zenju][size=1][color=SlateGray] [b]Tainted Love - Soft Cell/MFATGG/Marilyn Manson [/b]I liked Manson's version of this classic the best. The video clip is downright hilarious too. [/color][/size][/QUOTE] Tainted Love is actually originally recorded by Gloria Jones. No one seems to know this and quite frankly, I don't blame them. Soft Cell is the only reason anyone even knows it as it is lol. I forgot Sonic Youth's cover of Superstar as Shin said. Totally perfect in every way!
  8. [quote name='CaptainAnarchy']The cover was about a billion times better than the original...outstanding..[/quote] Bzz. This is wrong. :D Bowie actually does a different version of this as well, which is far slower paced and has this weird electronic ambient background music. Quite good. It is a good cover, though. I'll never argue that much. It always upset me that the radio version cut out the part where Cobain goes "That was a David Bowie song".
  9. I think Tatl made sense in the context of the game. She didn't want to be on the adventure in the first place, she's already been portrayed as mischieveous and so forth. Tatl didn't bother me as much because she existed as more of a extra voice since Link never says anything. Navi did as well, in a way, but I found her more grating and her style was patronizing, in a way. I can see why people would dislike either of them, though.
  10. [quote name='Omar Harris']Love Song- The Cure/311 (I know a lot of people don't like 311's version, but I think its pretty cool)[/quote] This reminds me, Jack Off Jill did an excellent cover of The Love Song as well. Metallica did a handful of Misfits covers on that one CD of theirs. In fact, that's really the reason the Misfits exploded as much as they did, as they didn't seem to be in the public's mind quite as much beforehand. Marilyn Manson also did an excellent cover of The Doors' Five to One, which is one of my favorite Doors songs to begin with (although much better live than studio).
  11. Navi was obnoxious as far as I was concerned. The shouts from her were entirely too constant, particularly if you don't want to focus on something long enough for her to say her spiel about it. It also effectively made me feel as though the game was holding my hand, which I don't really appreciate considering the game wasn't overly difficult.
  12. I don't know how anyone can play that game that long, but the timer would not advance beyond that. Nothing in particular would happen... but even if you put in 400 hours, it would still say 99:59:59.
  13. That much was already determined the second this thread was posted... But the idea of Square making anything for Xbox, let alone Final Fantasy, has absolutely nothing to do with what he or Mistwalker are doing.
  14. I would like to lose some weight. I'm not fat at all, I'm just definitely above where I'd like to be at at this point. Obviously not being where you'd like to be affects your attitude in that regard negatively for anyone. I don't dwell on it, really, but it's definitely something I'd feel a lot better about once it is taken care of. I don't really feel "bad" about myself in any other way really. I certainly could look far worse.
  15. I can't even remember. I don't know how anyone could lol. The earliest time I can remember going to the theater, it had a preview for that horror film Dolls. I hate dolls. Thunderdome is such a completely awful movie. :animesigh
  16. Louis Armstrong did What a Wonderful World. I doubt any would be as good as the original. As for ones I like: Darling Nikki - Apocalypse Hoboken/Prince (only one that even remotely catches the sexuality present in the original) Rock n' Roll ****** - Marilyn Manson/Patti Smith - Really great song that's more about being outcasted for superficial reasons than anything else I Put a Spell On You - Marilyn Manson/Screamin' Jay Hawkins - Great song either way, but Manson's version is pretty perfect as far as covers go. Cactus - David Bowie/Pixies - Great cover of a great, morbid song. Having Bowie cover a song of yours is a huge honor, I bet. Send Me an Angel - Zeromancer/Real Life Creep - Scarling/Radiohead - I think Jessicka singing this gives it a whole new take. I can't think of anything else offhand, but there are tons.
  17. [quote name='Meggido']What I said before about the merger I read from a gaming magazine which is usually quite reliable with it's information. [/quote] What exactly is this magazine because what you've posted there seems like nothing but hearsy and conjecture. Nothing like this has been officially stated or even decently rumored about that I have ever seen on any site/magazine of remote value. Rare was pretty much taken up willingly, from all accounts.
  18. I figured, Sage :D Anyway, I think the obvious thing to do is to make several member titles that are [i]all[/i] derrogatory in some way. Then no one wins and everyone loses, bringing us closer together.
  19. [quote name='Omar Harris']No new director attached to X-Men 3, though we do know that Joss Whedon, who writes the "Astonishing X-Men" comic book, possibly the only decent X-Book on the market right now, will NOT be involved as most fans would hope and rumor.[/quote] I seem to be in the minority, but thank god for that. I am getting tired of his run on Astonishing X-Men already. For each interesting character development there's a few other goofy things that are just totally out of place or down right lame.
  20. How is it hypocritical? It's wasn't bragging in any sense. I was making a point of how purposeless it is. I hardly used it in a way to be like "hey look at me and my super high number!" If someone like me that managed to actually post that much over my comparatively short time here doesn't give a crap about the title why should it matter to people with even less posts? It seemingly makes just as little difference to the two people above me as well. Hell, the top group in general I would say, from what I know of them. If they don't care, why should anyone. Quality being more important than quantity is a mantra everyone should adopt, regardless of how much they actually do bother to write here. If that's hypocritical then I guess I have the definition all wrong :animestun
  21. I don't understand this concept, though. I get that people feel punk is "dead" because the apparent main ideal behind it has fallen apart, although I don't feel it ever fully eroded (and even the ideal is arguable with stuff like the Ramones and their ancestors, as I've stated). I don't feel this idea is dead. The fact that the mainstream has developed a stranglehold on the genre is of no importance and, if anything, should really incite more groups and people to be even more rebellious. The fact of the matter is that the Ramones were always largely underground compared to other sounds of the time (and even the Sex Pistols, who were practically a movement) and that carries on to today. A large portion of the best rock that stays true the same counter culture movement is still largely an underground thing, through the idea that very, very little of it is on any sort of remotely large label. I don't think this makes it right out "dead", per se, but more hidden and covered. If one takes this route, then I don't understand why people don't get equally upset about rock music. Rock was just as counterculture as punk was, if not more so since there was even more to go against earlier in the century. Yet, despite only being in existance maybe 25 years prior to punk, I don't know of anyone that gets upset to the core of their being with some soft rock group that sings about love makes it somewhere. I don't see why this should be any more accepted, but it is. To me it just makes the whole concept somewhat ridiculous. If one is not willing to find what else is out there, then anything can be "dead" to someone. The recent punk "revival" isn't something I think was meant to revive the "dead", but was more of a need to get away from the sounds that were typical in the 80s and 90s that replaced punk as a major movement. Punk, obviously had to grow up in many senses and I do agree with the idea that other politics have overwritten the idea of pure anarchy, but anarchy never works to begin with. I think it's just gotten smarter lol. Punk died down, it never died. That's my opinion anyway. I guess this could be argued in perpituity, though.
  22. It's funny that people cry out so much about pop punk and then hail the Sex Pistols. I like the Sex Pistols (their main three albums anyway), but without Rotten they wouldn't have been nearly what they are. He came up with the whole "hey, let's piss everyone off!" idea to the point that it was more an image than anything else, the same thing people cite as something that pisses them off about current pop punk bands. Hell, Sid Vicious couldn't even play his damn instrument. I'd still say that considering their two and a half years of existance (well, other than that stupid "reunion") they sure did a hell of a lot of damage to England's collective psyche lol. The Sex Pistols are really where this whole "anarchy" idea came from, which ironically was not from The Ramones (despite them being the first punk group). Considering these things were hardly even ideals held by The Ramones in the first place, I'm not sure why it is considered a requirement. I LOVE The Ramones, but I'd be hardpressed to say they wrote much that wasn't basic and, for lack of a better word, idiotic. The Ramones were more about the simple four chord sound (very against rock trends at the time), which really gives even more credence to that whole sound versus ideal thing, I think.
  23. What achievement? You posted a lot. Congratulations. I don't know why people put so much stock into that, lol. I have the third most posts on this site and I don't give a crap, I don't see why anyone else should.
  24. [quote name='Manic Webb] Hell, one of my friends said I remind him of Carlton from [i]The Fresh Prince of Bel Air[/i'].[/quote] You're [B]much [/B]cooler than Carlton. People can quote me on [i]that[/i].
  25. I didn't take it completely seriously, don't worry :D My little brothers are insanely good at games, to the point that it surprises me. They were playing KotOR more heavily than I ever was (the main one is 9, 8 at the time) and finished it. That still gets me, especially in combination with some of the other stuff he completes.
