Solo Tremaine

[quote name='Aceburner']Adventure 02: Bah, too many puns at the beginning. Davis is pretty annoying and there are a few weird changes. On the plus side, it all pans out and the dub becomes amazing near the end, but it's still not enough to redeem the horrible ending to the season. Also, I like the dub's music for this season.[/quote][COLOR=#503F86]And to think that Gene Starwind's voice actor did a lot of the ADR direction for the dub :p I lost much respect for him after hearing some of those jokes. So anyway, I loved the dub music- much more than the original Japanese soundtrack which I bought and then got bored of rather quickly. Despite its awful construction, the US movie had amazing music (used for the most part of 02), and there's a tiny snippet of it available on Shuki Levy (the composer)'s website. It's tragic that the rest of it was never released. You'd never be able to rip it from the show.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]Does anyone have any more news about Trigun X, the new movie due to be out next year?[/COLOR]

[quote name='Allamorph'][FONT=Arial]After experimentation, it's not shorter by a whole lot. Just enough to matter.[/FONT][/quote][COLOR=#503F86]That's what I thought. I also had a feeling someone would have picked up on it earlier but it's a long thread and I wanted to join in on the conversation >.>; Apparently the sweet spot position has changed more to the centre of the blade than the tip, which is more or less what you said anyway. It doesn't feel to me like Samus's speed has changed. I just seem to remember her doing a lot more knockback with her smash attacks.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]Is it me or has Samus changed? She just seems lighter and a little less powerful than she used to be in Melee. Anyway, I'm loving this game so, so much. I'm finding it much harder to maintain my abilities that I had in Melee; because it's got a different feel I'm expecting myself to be doing better in a lot of fights than I am. It's not nearly as much fun playing against three computer players (and it's SO irritating that all three of them will constantly gang up on you, even in a free-for-all) as it is against three human opponents. For me, my best characters are Ike, Fox and Lucario, followed by Marth and Wolf. I can't quite get into Marth as well as I could, as he used to be one of my major three along with Roy and Fox. Mayhaps I just need more time to adjust, but his Shield Breaker now being a thrust has thrown me off. Is his sword slightly shorter as well, do you think?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]I liked these ones. Not sure if the second one hasn't already been posted, mind you. [YOUTUBE="Brokeback Mutant"]uHYiWoiuwSs[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE="Transformers Lord of the Rings Trailer Mashup"]UvJuZbUN0rE[/YOUTUBE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503f86]Found these a short while ago. They're not hilarious, but quite good for a laugh ^_^[/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86][youtube="The Wrath of Giga Bowser"]L1nGBIGKnuU[/youtube][/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86][youtube="The Last Tier War- Part 1"]iEm5F8R1U-c[/youtube][/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86][youtube="The Last Tier War- Part 2"]OLkSM70A_H4[/youtube][/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86]Unfortunately there aren't any more parts of Last Tier War, but it's a well-constructed machinima, if you can call it that. The voice acting ranges from pretty decent to a little dodgy.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86]I also like this picture:[/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86][URL="http://static.zooomr.com/images/3051616_6ce63fd5a0_o.jpg"][U]picture[/U][/URL][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503f86]A friend of mine showed me this one when I was visiting Bath a month or so ago:[/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86][youtube="Torn by Johan Lippowitz with Natalie Imbruglia"]4TM3GbxaNLI[/youtube][/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86]It's pretty cool ^_^[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]Same here. The software I got with my Motorola automatically backs up my texts (even ones I thought I deleted, which is odd o_o) whenever I connect it to my PC. I had to install it, though, and I don't think all phone manufacturers provide something like that.[/COLOR]

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE=1]Must have been a fun little thing to find in your magnum opus. ^_~[/SIZE][/quote][COLOR=#503F86]There was a horrible moment when I thought 'Oh God, someone's got it in for me and they don't want me on OB any more and this is a sign!', but then rationality set in and I started this thread instead :p[/COLOR]

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE=1]Oh and before I forget, completely agree with TC, it was nice to see [B]Kubo[/B] admit that yes, Itachi should have fought better than that. Makes me wonder what the cause of those prior injuries were now though.[/SIZE][/quote][COLOR=#503f86]Kubo? Don't you mean Zetsu? [/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86]Methinks you've been reading too much manga, Gav :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503f86]Aha, how fantastically cool ^_^ I was just puzzled, because I knew I hadn't put it there.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86]I did wonder for a while if I'd set in motion a dramatic chain of events that would lead to OtakuBoards' eventual downfall, but I'm glad that's not the case.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503f86]I was just looking through some old threads ([URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=33457"]Enter the Net[/URL] was the first) and I noticed a massive picture of a briefcase/bomb thing had been edited into it, like this:[/COLOR] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/SoloTremaine464/Briefcase.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=#503f86]And I was a little puzzled. I didn't click on it, in case someone had managed to plant a virus in it or something (I know that's improbable, but hey, I'm paranoid). So pictured above is the [URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=14463"]second one I've found[/URL]. Is it a hack, or a joke, or some random code thrown up by some bizarre coincidence?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]I'm assuming that this isn't going to be a straight fight with one side or the other losing. Given Tobi's actual identity, I'd be willing to bet we get some pretty greivous injuries... or he disappears before actually killing anyone. T'has happened before.[/COLOR]

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE=1]As for watching it, seriously Prem, subs > dubs, that's just a general rule of anime. How you can even sit through the first series dubbed is beyond me, those voices are just way too annoying.[/SIZE][/quote][COLOR=#503f86]Hey, don't knock it. If it weren't for animes being dubbed there'd be no international support for the industry.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#503f86]To be honest I think Viz did a great job of trying to match the voices- Orochimaru in particular is pretty impressive. It's only because I already know the Japanese voices so well that I'm used to how they sound that I watch it subbed, but even for an English dub it's not all that bad.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]I love Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series. And I love it even more because LittleKuriboh is British :p Although I think the parodies of actual episodes are much better than the standalone ones he's made himself, to be honest. Marik's Evil Council of Doom was fun but just lacked... something that the episodes already have. The parody of the first series movie (not Pyramid of Light) with the song subtitles at the beginning and the end were absolutely hilarious. Rarely have I laughed more at a YouTube video.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]One of my favourite YouTube videos is a part of a stand-up routine by Eddie Izzard, a British comedian, animated to Lego. There are quite a few, heh. Contains strong language. [youtube="Eddie Izzard- Death Star Canteen"]Sv5iEK-IEzw[/youtube] And one more.[/COLOR] [youtube="Eddie Izzard- Cake or Death"]rZVjKlBCvhg[/youtube]

[COLOR=#503F86]J'aime ce fil; je vais à Paris le 9 mai pour un concert de L'arc~en~Ciel et je dois pratiquer mon français. En plus, il me rend la sensation intelligente.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]Well, [i]technically[/i], 'pomme-frites' is only a colloquialism, short for 'pomme de terre frites', but yeah, you're right. It's used far more widely anyway. [quote name='Gavin][SIZE=1']J'etais edutier le français pendant un peu moins six ans.[/SIZE][/quote]Hah, moi aussi, bien que j'ai eu un peu plus six ans. J'ai observé les videos de Muzzy. Ils étaint trés utile pour moi.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]But at the same they already [i]know[/i] that something is up. For Ichigo to disappear without any explanation when they're aware of some degree of the situation is probably worse than them being spiritually dense and oblivious.[/COLOR]

[quote name='The13thMan'][FONT=Century Gothic][COLOR=darkorange]I'm an apple fry![/COLOR][/FONT][/quote] [COLOR=#503F86]You weren't only [i]an[/i] apple fry. You WERE apple fry, the very epitome of the substance. There was no 'an' (or 'un/une' to qualify it as such) about it :p[/COLOR]

[quote name='Korey'][FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Et toi, les franophones? Que est-ce que vous faisez dans le week-end?[/FONT][/quote][color=#503F86]J'ecris mon roman, parce que je veux devenir un romancier. Il prend beaucoup de mon temps. Et bien, il devrait, mais je le trouve dur au séjour motivé, et puis j'attend la formation de ma groupe de reconstitution, quel [i]aussi[/i] prend beaucoup de mon temps. Je pense que je suis vraiment ennuyeux.[/COLOR]

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE=1]God help Ichigo anyway, Tatsuki gave him enough of a beating without Shinigami powers, if she actually does develop some, I'm thinking 11th Squad might just have one more person who wants to fight Ichigo to the death every time she sees him.[/QUOTE][/SIZE][COLOR=#503f86]Doesn't matter how powerful you are or what realm of existence you originate from, you can always be clobbered by a girl.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]Having trawled the net for pictures of various anime characters with similar traits to me, I can safely say that I look like NO-ONE. I'm either too old, too young or not clean-shaven enough. Oh no, wait... here we go. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v379/Lori-chan/9gj255.jpg[/IMG] Perfect :p[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]Well, it's been established that she's masking her appearance to look younger, so I imagine we'll see her real face before she does die (probably [i]just[/i] before). Once Jiraiya's death becomes widely known I can see her going after Akatsuki, or waiting for Akatsuki to attack Konoha and then taking on Pein/Konan directly herself. She might take another one of his bodies before she goes, leaving Naruto to fight the other four. Sound realistic? Or, we could go with the 'Sasuke kills everything' idea, where throughout this next year's arc he fights and kills every major villain one by one, becoming more and more of a Mary-Sue and Deus ex Machina every time.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#503F86]I imagine the twins have more or less fulfilled their roles in the early story, to an extent- giving Ichigo someone to protect while his Shinigami powers developed, and to act as an Achilles' heel whenever he's back home. I don;t think Aizen would really be particularly bothered by them. If someone doesn't attack him, I can't see him doing anything to them unnecessarily. Maybe if Isshin was silly enough to try and take him on they might try and intervene, but even then... I can't see them being any threat or target to Mr. Plot Twist. Besides, they've got their own mini storyline with Don Kanonji. I don't think you could recover from that :p Tatsuki and Mizuiro I could see having larger roles in the future. That would be cool.[/COLOR]
