Does anyone else other than me think it's a bit strange that Osama Bin Laden's body was dumped in the ocean? Not trying to be a bearer of bad news or anything, it all just seems rather secretive. When most renowned terrorists or enemy leaders were killed in the past pictures were taken and shown to the public, Hitler, Saddam, you name it, but there's nothing about Osama, just his listed death and a brief description of what happened during his final moments. Let's be honest here, there's a big election coming up and Obama's time in office has been... less than efficient, he hasn't done much at all. This kind of event is perfect as a solidification for him staying in office and will boast a huge gain in support for his second running, I like the guy and think he's tried to do as much as he plausibly can for this country, but most of his long term plans have been laid off or denied outright. This will certainly be convenient for him.

If that's not really the case, then good job I say. It may be one man but it's liable to create a ripple effect from the core to the farthest outreaches of terrorist branches, sometimes killing one man will save thousands. It's a brutal reality and you may look for another way but in this specific situation there was no alternative, while there may be a counterattack directed at us in retaliation we've made our message clear to them, and unfortunately for them the majority of the world is satisfied with justice being done and stands by our side against them.

Aside from all of that, many people from the Islamic faith are suggesting that the burial was unjust, and was not in line with the rules and practices of Islamic tradition. I have one thing to say to you all: eat a dick please. Do you think the thousands of people he had a hand in murdering were given a proper and traditional American burial? Yeah, I thought so. Religion honestly shouldn't even play a part here, when it comes down to it, the man was a murderer and was universally viewed as an epitome of evil. Before we die and transcend to whatever paradise or heaven we believe we're going to, we live here on Earth as humans. Our actions here dictate where we go when we die and if we will find peace, and on Earth, Osama was someone that did many wrongs that were unforgivable and in turn spread hatred and anger towards his people, in which most of them in no way contributed to his wrongdoings and ended up suffering anyways. He didn't give a shit about anyone but himself, he even used his own men as a shield to try and survive, I bet all of them were Islams too. So please eat a dick for telling us we didn't give him a proper burial and we must apologize for doing so, he'd kill you himself if he needed to do it in order to survive, and he wouldn't flinch for a second doing it. Think about that before you judge us, try judging the person responsible for causing these transgressions in the first place.

Random Story

2010-09-19T11:28:00.000-07:00

So, I was watching my favorite stream on JTV by Michael_1985. He's this German guy who plays a lot of platforming/action games that tend to be pretty hard and screams lots of funny things when he dies. Not really raging but silly things - it's fun.

He was playing Metroid: Other M and while I had no real interest in the game, it did renew my desire to play Ninja Gaiden Black. After all, Team Ninja developed both games. So, I spent two or so hours redownloading it because I purchased it from XBL before and deleted it to free up space but kept my saves.

Lo and behold, I discover the save files become "damaged" if you put the HDD onto another Xbox machine. Apparently, it ties save files to the physical address of the Xbox and mine was sent in from RROD. Pretty much meant I lost all my progress... and I had completed Mission Mode and was on my Master Ninja playthrough (I think?).

Raging, I went to Amazon to get NG Sigma for the PS3 and ended up also getting Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, and Resident Evil (GC Remake). All for like $70. FOUR "like-new" used games for $70. Good stuff. It was all very compulsive and spontaneous but I think I'll have fun with each. Except Killzone 2. That was probably a mistake but I'll play it and have fun for a short time.

Oh well

weird

ROFL

2010-09-14T17:07:00.001-07:00

Today was probably the most retarded day I've ever had in a long time, firstly I hardly got any sleep and my cat ended up puking on my blanket (FUN), so I had to throw it in the wash while being half awake from 4 hours of sleep.

Secondly today is maintenance day so I end up deciding to read Fairy Tail until WoW servers come up and I can do my weekly/daily quests. Fairy Tail is a lot like One Piece in the respect that it's nonstop action with little or no breaks between arcs, reading manga like this in bulk ALWAYS gives me a giant headache.

After finishing up to chapter 150 or so, it's finally 11 P.M and I can get on WoW only to find that the weekly is Marrowgar and I really don't want to do ICC nor raid anymore in WotLK, so I feel like I wasted a huge chunk of my day waiting on nothing, later on the dryer my blanket is in starts growling like a starving lion in the Sahara and I have to turn it off, STUPID!

Then lastly I get into a big fight with a friend of mine trying to tell me what I should do about a certain situation that they have no hold on, let's just say there was a lot of judgmental things said about how I act mixed in with plenty of obscenities from their side. Me being someone that avoids arguments just decided to actually fight back for once so I just ended up correcting what was being said to me in a bold... non-sugarcoated way.

So yeah I'm still pissed off about all of that, I really wish people didn't act like know-it-alls and make baseless assumptions about things they don't know of. For the first time ever I got called a weirdo too, and not in a nice 'you're weird and different from most people and you like/read anime and manga' way, screaming and yelling about something you only know what I've told the person about(thus being vague summaries, and far from the whole story)... hmm, that in itself is weird so I guess I'm not the only one here.

What about you guys?

Panda's FFXII Review

2010-08-25T10:08:00.000-07:00

Why am I doing this? I played FFXII like a year ago and am now playing through XIII. I guess I just thought of this one night when trying to fall asleep and wanted to jot down my notes somewhere. Hey yo! There's a blog here that needs more posts! Okay!

Final Fantasy XII was first introduced to me in various magazine previews, and I didn't really care for how the new battle system sounded. I unofficially tried it the first time when a demo came with a game my friend bought and again was not wow'd. For a good while, it was going to be the first FF game that I would completely pass up as I had very little interest in it. Thanks to some motivation from Evan and other sources, I decided to try it out.

The Good

Here are the top 3 things I like about FFXII

3) (Specific) Characters

I'm talking about Balthier and Fran primarily. Balthier just being stylish and Fran being cool but getting the shaft in character development were the only real pieces of the main party I liked. But there were others that I really enjoyed. Cid as a villain was pretty interesting. Various support characters like Vossler and Reddas were awesome. Gabranth was a pretty neat dude, uhh Larsa? was okay too. If I could swap my party for some of these characters, the game woulda been much cooler. Switch out wanna-be air pirate Vaan for real-pirate Reddas, Basch for Gabranth (duh), Penelo for Vossler (no connection), and maybe keep Ashe because she has actual hold in the story. Except swap out her model for that chick who is a part of Reddas's little crew thing. Make her look more like a slut lolz.

2) The World

FFXII takes place in the colorful world of Ivalice which is also fleshed out in the FF Tactics games. This is one of the reason I decided to make this list. I just randomly realized that the locales you visit throughout the game are pretty diverse and interesting. A lot of areas have a veil of mystery and the overall setting is just really awesome to me. There are fairly constrained areas with narrow, twisting turning pathways along with wide open areas full of exploration. There are a few really lame dungeons (*cough* end game, Pharos, Giruvegan) but the rest of the world really shines. It is this and Good Thing 1 that make me consider replaying the game (almost).

1) The Sidequests

Hunts! Espers! Awwwwww good stuff. Granted, some of the sidequests are really boring and dumb (fishing not being fun in a game? cmon). But the feeling of hunting down a mark and defeating it while your characters are massively underpowered is a fantastic feeling. Many require some specific strategies inorder to fell and others have special triggers to even get them to spawn. Maybe because I used a guide but it felt like the hunts weren't much of a chore and more of an extra fun task. Some specific hunts (Gilgamesh) were some of the coolest fights in any FF game. Esper fights were also pretty grand. Most of the Espers have cool designs in appearance and battle. Whether its protecting yourself from a multitude of status ailments or making your levels a specific number to resist overpowered spells, the Esper fights had something neat to bring to the field. Throw in non-mark rare spawns and optional equipment and the (side)quest becomes a done deal. These enjoyment I got from these sidequests harks back to the sides from FFVIII and helped distract me from the main game.

The Bad

That's the good; here's the not-so-good, bad, and flat out shitty.

3) The Battle System

At times, the battle system was really enjoyable for me. I think it was in the first few hours when I didn't have a bunch of gambit slots to make things auto and micro'd more. I could have continued to play like this but it would become more of a chore and a bigger handicap later on. Thus, I embraced the gambit system and the rest of the game became fairly auto-pilot. Yeah.... not that fun. The summoning system was also poorly executed and I only ever summoned the Ifrit-equivalent-dude that one time to unlock a big gate or whatever. Such a poor performance because the summons all seemed kinda neat but there was really no incentive to use them. Maybe I'll explore them a bit more next time. Quickenings/Limits were kinda cool and I definitely exploited them and save states to maximize my damage on hunts I really wasn't supposed to be fighting.

Another iffy point for me in the battle/overall system was the necessity to have characters do everything. I really like to have characters allocated to specific roles ala FFIX but that just doesn't work well for most of XII. Characters need heals, nonsensical weapon/armor proficiencies, and whatnot to get by. This brings me to the grid levelup system which was pretty damn free. At least in FFX and XIII there is incentive/restrictions in place to motivate you to stay with the specific roles for a good portion of the game. In XII, there just doesn't seem to be a lot of diversity. You can choose to make classes but it's too easy not to. Anyways, that's my gripe with it. Like I said, the system worked at times so this point is more of a neutral to neutral-bad aspect of the game, at least for me.

2) Sound

Okay I understand: There was SOO much audio, that they had to compress it all and the voice quality turned out really, really bad. I get it. Doesn't change the fact that they still did it, and it's still bad. I mean, whenever someone talks, it sounds like they are muffled, or there's a lot of background noise. The voice-acting is pretty good; it's just the quality is so bad that I don't want to listen. Also, the other FF's are known, at least to me, for having really memorable tracks and music. I don't remember anything from FFXII in terms of soundtracks. Either that means I have terribad memory, or nothing was that memorable anyway. This doesn't really have to do with the sound, but since this is the first time they used voices and pronounced some things, a lot of the names sound really dumb with how they pronounce them (huge emphasis on HA in Bahamut).

1) Cast and Plot

We have a tie for number 1! Besides the good characters, the rest of the cast was ughhhhhh.... I'm talking about you Vaan and Penelo. What kind of shit is Vaan for a main character? He has 0 relevance in the plot, is a dumb kid trying to be cool, and dresses like a douche. I mean Tidus was pushing it too, but Vaan's outfit goes over the edge for me. People argue that he has takes part in the plot, because his act of infiltrating the castle to pilfer stuff brought Balthier and Ashe to meet and thus catalyzes the rest of the plot. Uhhh yeah that's true but that doesn't make him anymore of a plot device - not an integral element of the plot. There's a huge difference. Even though he makes the effort in some scenes (and fails imo), I can easily say that Vaan is the weakest protagonist I have ever seen. His friend Penelo has even less reason to be there. She literally does NOTHING. Yeah, great Penelo. Go die. She's what? The commoner who brings in different perspective into the story. Not really, what does she ever say that's useful? Maybe I'm just blind but I consider her pretty goddamn useless.

Ashe and Basch are okay at times but still lean towards the negative for me. Ashe acts like a bitch and times - and not just the stuckup, naive princess bitch, like a real bitchy bitch who's out to get it for the rest. I dunno. Basch starts out strong but loses interest reaaaaal fast. And for me, his outfit just doesn't work; it doesn't seem to fit him but whatever. Eventually, he just seems to become a stone giant following the party. And we're not talking stone giant Shale in DA:O.

Then there's the plot. I remember very little of it - it just didn't seem coherent and interesting enough for me to grab my attention and feel like I had an actual stake in the story. I don't recall many specifics and that's a pretty big point for me. To me, story is a huge element for me in RPGs. Playing the entire game and not really caring about the plot is a huge detriment. I think it really failed for me when I was playing through on auto and randomly realized that I was watching a cutscene where Ashe is speaking with spirits/gods/aliens in some conversation. At that point, I was just like: wtf? The ending was also pretty weak in my opinion but lots of games have really poor endings, so it's not a huge deal. Not everything can end like FFIX : (

Anyways, that's my rant. Overall, FFXII is a bad game that I love to hate on but REALLY had a lot of fun with it. The bad ruins the game for me but I'd still play it for the good things. As it stands right now, FFXIII is a much much better game, but I've had more fun with XII. In the end, to me, XII ranks along/slightly below IV in my FF preferences which I know Evan would kill me for.

Frustrations

2010-08-06T19:14:00.000-07:00

Man, why must the game I enjoy the most right now also be the game that frustrates the hell out of me?!?! I'm talkin' about that SSF4 yo.

Playing online is the easiest (though worst) way to play with others. But I always seem to do super shitty and lose to people I shouldn't. Granted, I still lose to people obviously better than me, and that doesn't bother me. It's when I lose to stupid ass scrubs that spam unsafe crap that's made magically safe by the wonders of XBL lag. Yet, it's my gosh darn fault that I can't adapt to these players and play really safe. Good lord.

My game relies too much on flow. I play Cammy and rush people down. That's not to say I don't know how to play defensively, but I have a really hard time forcing myself off an opponent if I'm feeling it - which is a good way to eat a fat shoryuken to the face.

I wish I was good v__v

Yayayayay

2010-07-19T17:48:00.000-07:00

Today is a very good day as it is the 21st birthday of our resident panda also known as Jonathan Yih-san. Be sure to wrap any gift you send to him in bamboo and please, disregard the signs saying not to feed the panda, he is very hungry and would be obliged to eat anything you give him.

Happy birthday Jon!

Ya know...

2010-07-10T00:44:00.000-07:00

I just noticed something... WHERE THE FUCK IS THE GOAT-SMOTER? He's like a God-damned stealth ninja on this blog, I never see him make any posts but I always feel like I'm being watched. It messes with my head James! I know you're out there!

We need more pals on here, who wants in on some blog posts?

Ga Ga Ruh-Uh-Uh

2010-05-21T01:38:00.000-07:00

Sorry Jon, I had to show the world!

Light blue is Panda, dark blue is me.

Man I really wanted to get to playing SSF4 today.

Haven't played games at all past two days.

I think?

I don't remember :P

At least not seriously.

I did get a Super Mario World hack to work though.

It's awesome and hard.

you need video games

I'll get some tomorrow.

so many people wonder why most asians stay drug-free

video games

anime and manga

= drugs

ahahhahahaha

PROVEN FACT LOOK IT UP

I'll just take your word for it : P

I've seen it firsthand

there's something in those egg rolls

that change you

make you act different

rofl

if I eat the same egg rolls my reaction doesn't change

I still say "these are some damn good egg rolls"

but nothing changes

haha

God, I wish it was like... 9:18.

Turn the clock back an hour.

haha

just be like me

if compared to your hours, it's like 2 PM for me atm

still got 8 hours!

hahaha

Except I have to get up at 8 am.

ABSOLUTE time (Pacific at least).

stupid time zones and their static hours

haha

minutes and seconds

I kinda wish we were somewhere on the earth that had like a day of darkness.

That'd be kinda cool.

there's some place by Sweden if I remember

Think that happens in the far north or someting.

yeah

2 hour days

it's also why they have a high suicide rate around there rofl

I bet it's depressing

LET'S GO SEE JON, ohhh I just got here and the day's almost over...

just daylight lawl!

I better go before it becomes pitch black and below freezing temperature

Not like you go to sleep all the dark hours.

haha

my hours are perfect for Japan

should move there

Hahaa it'd suck if you finally did and then jet-lag messed you up on the way there.

No more good hours!

yeah get there and be like

DAMN US WOULD BE PERFECT HOURS NOW

U.S to prevent confusion

gots it haha

although not knowing Japanese might get me in trouble

Probably!

maybe I'd wander into some Yakuza territory courtyard

and they'd recruit me

and I'd think they just wanted to take me to the bar

Failure in communication = bad news!

then they pull out guns, hand me one and start shooting people

ho boy

Biiiiiig trouble.

I'd be like "UH UH"

"BYE"

then as I'm running all I hear is "KIRU KIRU KIRU" and my supposed friends are chasing me with knives

ran out of bullets

so they catch me, take me to big boss dude

he has a translator handy

I'm like THANK GOD

only thing he says: You have shamed the Yakuza by running, the only way to repent is harakiri

"FUCK THAT"

looooooooooool

Maybe you should just save yourself the trouble and not go to Japan til you know Japanese.

I could...

but then suddenly as I'm about to slash my guts out

a bunch of raging angry ass pandas come busting in

like 8 of the fuckers

hahaahha

like 8 of the fkrs rofl

followed by a lone black ninja

I'm like

PANDAJON?!

"Silence!"

Pretty sure Japan doesn't have indigenous pandas unfortunately.

that's why the Yakuza get mauled

mass confusion

lawl

no matchup experience.

well they used to war with China

but they lost a lot

I think China lost more.

mainly because panda warbears

almost impenetrable defenses

excellent offense

high agility and leaping talent

sharp teeth too

haha

BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT

all they're thinking is: how can you cage and manage 8 angry ass pandas in a domestic enviroment?

mid-thought

GET YOU FACE MAULED

YOUR'

so as we escape and sneak aboard a cargo ship back to the U.S

you say: Maybe you should just save yourself the trouble and not go to Japan til you know Japanese.

"Yeah."

LOLLLL

Then you're probably like: TOoo late bitch!

haha

I'd be too shocked

then the credits roll and there's a camera stay-still as the ship moves away

then you see at the back in the water 8 swimming pandas and go "wtf?"

hahahaha

This would make a nice short film or one shot.

"Couldn't fit on the ship."

it conveys a good message too!

learn your languages before travel!

Don't go to Japan?

haha

don't talk to strangers!

don't let people hand you guns!

and don't commit suicide!

and heaven forbid don't piss of a Panda

off'

Super Street Fighter 4!!!

2010-04-27T20:08:00.000-07:00

So, the past couple days have been like this...

6 days......
5 days.....
4 days....
3 days...
2 days..
1 day

0!!!! Just gotta get to my mailbox!

Email from parents: Were you expecting a package from UPS? It looks like a game.

.... >_<

TBA Days!

So I accidentally had my copy of SSF4 sent home instead of my apartment. Sad

Jajajaja

2010-04-16T10:49:00.000-07:00

So I was bored today and decided to look at all these Blogger updates that I've apparently missed, there was nothing too fancy or interesting. I did, however, stumble upon in the settings that I can grant Administrator privileges which brings me to the point of this post: Panda-san is now an Administrator and can do whatever he wants including removing me from my position, but let's not give him any ideas =).

Laters!

Classical Music

2010-04-07T20:42:00.000-07:00

Not sure why I'm asking here but whatever.

Know of any good classical music? I'm really into music heavy on piano and violin stuff. I just hit one of those music moods while listening to Yoshimori Makoto's Ringo no E no Ue no Rakugaki from the Baccano! OST. This kinda stuff really puts me at peace, and I want more!

Anyways, I also was looking into some works by Nujabes, the dude responsible for a lot of the music for Samurai Champloo of which one of my favorite works is Nujabes's Aruarian Dance. Then I find out that he got in an accident and died at the end of February just this year! WTF? Saddenedddddddd.... : (

JUST AS PLANNED

2010-03-19T11:37:00.000-07:00

In response to Bleach 396,

Aizen, you're soooooooooo gggaaaaaaayyyyyy. He's turning the sludge in this manga to an absolute garbage pit. First, SS was all his plot. Next, Hueco Mundo went all according to plan. Now, the entire manga has been his plan. FAN_FCKN_TASTIC Aizen.

What's the last good part of Bleach? I don't even remember now... The invasion of Hueco Mundo was a rehash of the Soul Society arc, but I still enjoyed the idea. Their were a lot of really slow, lame fights in it, but it had plenty of cool "oooohhhh!" drama moments. And then we get this winter war. Not much of a war really... Wars involve people on both side DYING. Casualties on the good guy side? Maybe 2. Oh wait, where's Inoue? She'll inevitably heal everyone back to normal!

Such a disappointment.

I just want more One Piece/Veritas/Wolf Guy/Sankarea/Fullmetal Alchemist

Highschool of the Dead had a new chapter for the first time in like a year... interesting..

Shout out

2010-03-05T17:48:00.000-08:00

HEY! I don't really have much to say here, One Piece is really good? Jon got a more expensive computer than the one he was thinking of getting (OH MY GAWD!?).

In reality this post is for one of our...well the only long time blog pal we have! Sir Eric has turned 26 today, so be sure to wish him a happy Birthday and hope he gets cookies, pie, cake, and all those good yummies.

Happy Birthday Eric =p

Laptop

2010-02-25T21:10:00.000-08:00

Hokay, so here's the deal:

Last Wednesday, I left to go to my 5-6pm class and realize I forgot my note-taking pen. I had hardly walked a block and returned to get it. Turns out, I must have not remembered to lock the door on the way out the second time. I come back from my class, figured out the door was unlocked, and my laptop was stolen. : (

I didn't even use that pen that period...

So, I need to get a new one hopefully this Saturday. I just now realized that here would be a good place for advice. What do you think of this? LINK

Fullmetal Alchemist

2010-02-09T21:58:00.001-08:00

So... Fullmetal Alchemist is at its endgame (hopefully). You should definitely catch up or read from the beginning once it is finished! It beats the garbage rut Bleach and Naruto seem to be in.

Panda waits on: more FMA and OP! Naruto and Bleach to get better....! Super Street Fighter 4! yaaaaaaaay

STREET FIGHTA

2009-05-29T20:18:00.001-07:00

God I love Street Fighter 4. I suck but whatever.

Best Championship Mode tonight

First Battle: Gouken. Not too bad. Nothing I could not handle.

Second Battle: Guile. Ohhh sh!t. Guile is like one of the Anti-Cammy's. Kicks my ass around during the first round but I manage to barely win. Second round he dominates me. Pull of a Victory last round. Advance to Finals!

Final Battle: Ken. Yay... another Ken. I had a full Championship mode with Kens earlier. Ahh well, he's got 400 more gp than me, he'll probably kick my ass...

... -.- yeah okay. Destroy him first round; only suffered chip damage I think. He wins second round because I was being reckless. Last round... he goes AFK? I get him down to 2/3 health before I realize. huhh.....

/Shrug. I'm actually okay with beating an AFK player for the final victory.

PERFECT

And somehow he advances to G2-E.

Grats to him I suppose. I'm still stuck in noobzor G3-A.

GET OUT THERE AND FIGHT ON THE STREETS. GO JAM WITH THESE DUDES.

Jon's Story Characters

2008-01-14T09:23:00.000-08:00

Story Name? Dunno but yeah. If only I could make an RPG... or a manga..

Jagger - Swordmaster
Legionnaire of Ethereal Element.

Jagger is the main hero of the story. He's very much a balanced person in terms of behavior and personality. Neither a cold, distant badass the likes of Cloud/Squall nor a totally completely self-sacrificial martyr for everyone like Vash the Stampede, Jagger finds a nice median to define himself. Still, he cares most about his friends and values them above his own life, doing anything and everything to make sure they persevere in life with happiness. Almost to a fault, Jagger treats everyone exactly the same and constantly gets into trouble with those of higher rank or status.

He wields a characteristic two handed blade with a panda head design for a hilt which he claims gives him awesome powers. Along with his older brother Jeigan, Jagger travels around the world working as a member of Ethereal Element, simultaneously searching for the demon that burnt down their hometown and murdered their parents. His only clue is to pursue the man he saw at the center of the fiery inferno; a man simply known as Midnight.

Princess Cecelia - Fighter
Matriarch of Ethereal Element

When designing her character, I had the qualities of Tifa or Farah with the look of Irlina in mind. Constantly caring for the wellbeing of everyone and constantly bothered by the cruelties of the world, Cecelia is an ideal person to run the country of Marquis. Like many other princesses, she hates her sheltered life within the castle and thus leaves at a young age to live in one of the poorer villages in her kingdom as a peasant to learn the values of life and also the plights of her citizens. Her obligation to help out her country is only matched by her idealistic and caring nature to ultimately motivate her to join Jagger and the rest of Ethereal Element.

Cecelia fights like any other martial artist. Smooth, nimble movements allow her to flow through the battlefield and unleash a flurry of attacks. Versus a large number of opponents, her skills dwindle a tad, but one on one, she's almost unparalleled in skill.

Jatari - Ninja
Assassin of Ethereal Element

Jatari is one my favorite characters; an enigmatic silent ninja but by no means a cutthroat. In fact, he actually shows his true nature and hidden kindness rarely to certain things like orphans or baby animals. All in all, despite his appearance, he's a good person. I guess he's kind of like a wolf; solitary and observatory but ruthless to those that threaten his interests. His past is shrouded in mystery, but rumor has it that he once worked as a ruthless assassin, killing absolutely everyone of an opposing force. He agrees to travel with Jagger and becomes a member of Ethereal Element in order to track down the warrior who gave him the scars on his face.

His custom built weapon involves a ninja-to with a reinforced hollow handle that contains a "fold-able" kusari-gama. Jatari sticks to the shadow like any good ninja and strikes with the deadliness of a wolf and the precision of a snake. That, combined with his inconceivable speed, has earned him the nickname of ShadowFang.

Forvius - Adept Mage
Strategist of Ethereal Element.

Forvius is an arrogant, extremely sarcastic mage who looks down on those he finds unintelligent. He really only respects those with power and tends to speak his mind whenever he wishes. This nature combined with his very logical and realistic thinking often cause him to be the antagonist of arguments amongst more idealistic or optimistic companions. He probably became this way due to his rather unpleasant upbringing as a mixed child between a Huma and an Ulfi (Human and Elf). Most of his time is spent pouring over tomes of magical quality in search of the secrets of the world and hopefully the strongest magic.

Although he's known as "The Essence of Fire" due to his incredible proficiency in pyrotechnics, he also comprehends the use of Ice and Earth elemental magics. Mages in the world are actually fairly rare and to see such a master of the elements at such a young age is even rarer. Some attribute Forvius's strength to the tomes he carries around. Or perhaps its the glyph in his pocket. It could even be the mysterious tattoos he has all over his body. No one really knows.

Rina - Holy Priestess
Healer of Ethereal Element

During her childhood, Rina's family was exiled from the main houses of the elves and were forced to wander around struggling and fighting against poverty. In sometime, Rina found herself left on the stairs of a church in which the church's Father Riser took her in and raised her in typical pious manner. Like the selfless priestess she is, Rina concentrates on aiding the weak and poor whenever possible. In fact, she embarks on a pilgrimage to spread her church's holy spirit and help out those in need. She then joins Ethereal Element after encountering Jagger and co during her travels in hope that their resources will be able to aide her cause. Strange enough, she's terrified of the undead and quickly loses her composure around them despite the fact that her abilities compliment destroying them.

Rina is the main healer of the group; her uprising in the holy arts have given her miraculous healing abilities. She also has the ability to cast powerful but limited spells consisting of holy attributed attacks that decimate undead and demonic foes. Her natural elven affinity with magic combined with her staff as a catalyst for her powers ends making her an incredibly reliable healer, support, and holy damage.

Sven - Reaper
Executioner of Ethereal Element

Sven's very existence is shrouded in mysticism. He randomly decides to follow the party, and before anyone knows it, fights with them during battles ala Suikoden III's Landis. Little of his past his known. However, Sven has proclaimed himself to often fulfill the role of Demon Hunter, slaying every demon he comes across for training. Long ago, a child girl treated his wounds after she found him close to death in a forest nearby her village. While he was recuperating, her kindness helped ease his pain from battles. Unfortunately, this happy experience was cut short as a demon known carrying the title of "the darkest" demon murdered the little girl and ravaged the rest of the town while the wounded Sven could do nothing. The sound of the girl's screams plague him every night, causing Sven to literally become sleepless. Thus, Sven seeks out this demon in order to enact revenge and ease the cold grip on his heart. His motivation to join the group seems to stem from the idea that a strong group can lead him to stronger and stronger demons.

In battle, Sven wields an overwhelmingly large scythe to cleave through hordes of lesser beings. Many of his attacks are infused with shadow and dark energies, ripping out souls of slain foes adding strength to each swing. It is said that even the Moon sheds its light upon Sven to further improve his battle capabilities and unlock dormant powers.

Aria - Druid
Umm not much to say about her yet. Summoner/Seer/Druid/Protector of Forests blah blah.
She's blind too.

Villains
Hael - Necromancer
Hael is one of the first main villains threatening the well-being of the world. Through his cunning behind-the-scenes work, Hael is able to instigate a war between the major kingdoms with the primary goal of creating corpses to use for his necromancy. The dead on the battlefields rise as undead constructs, skeletons, zombies, and the like when Hael's plague spreads through the soil. Of course, he intends to take his undead army to slay more and increase his numbers. Ultimately, Hael wishes to use the souls of 1,000,000 undead to revive the spirit of his little brother Kael and give him the world as a gift in forgiveness for letting him die years prior. Convoluted much?

Strangely, and despite Hael's knowledge of course, Jagger and his party have encountered a boy resembling Kael briefly in their travels.

Midnight
Cassis

Maybe I'll do the others. Dunno who I'm gonna draw next. Fun fun fun.

Manga list

2007-10-24T15:12:00.000-07:00

Here's some good things to know! (since people will need it to understand how my differentiated-perplexed mind works!)

1. If a manga has (NEW!) next to it, it means I've added it recently, the sign will be taken down after it's been up there for five-or-so days, there will also be a edit tag at the bottom that says "The list has been updated!" which means I have added one of these (NEW!) series to the list within the past five days.

2. I use 4 main websites to download my manga, links are: Clicky 1 - Clicky 2 - Clicky 3 - Clicky 4.

3. I'll add my own summaries and reviews whenever I have the enthusiasm to actually write that much....(but for now they will have a review from a good site linked, just click the name for it!)

4. If I put a * next to the name, this means it's a manwha, (korean manga) manwhas are read left-to-right like American comics instead of the regular Japanese style right-to-left.

5. If you do not wish to download the manga, Onemanga offers online viewing of your more popular-mainstream manga, such as Bleach and Naruto.

A heads up on Trigun, it may seem like it ends at the last volume, but if you've watched the anime you'd know this isn't the case, the reason for this is because the mangaka switched publishers while writing, so the original name Trigun was kept by the original publisher, it continues on with the name Trigun Maximum.

So as you may have noticed, we have a post that wasn't made by me, well that's for one reason! We now have two new members to welcome to our blog, James and Jon so hooray for them joining and making this place more lively.

I updated the manga list and made it obvious what the new mangas are so you'll notice them.

I'm also posting to advertise that you read the Suzumiya Haruhi novel series, it's fascinating and sometimes makes you question reality and your surroundings, of course I think about these things without the help of a book or movie so I find it very appealing, however, if you have an unstable mind and value your sanity, then be careful when reading this novel.

More information regarding the novel can be found HERE.

Wow funny how I check this everyday yet never make a new post.

I quit WoW again, I won't be back until the expansion or maybe ever if Warhammer turns out to be good, so, what have I been doing for this month? Reading manga, lots of it, along with playing console games and occasionally some PC games, so I figured I'd make the current list of manga I've finished/caught up to that would be a good read for someone that enjoys reading manga.

(keep note that I'm reading a big list of manga and I'm only at the "C" section of it so I can only name a couple that have letters beyond that.

Ah! My goddess

Those are all good in my opinion and you would most likely enjoy them if you like reading mangas like Bleach or Naruto.

New post possibly in a week.

-The list has been updated!

Where have you been?

2007-07-25T00:27:00.000-07:00

Zomg, a new post after like two months of nothing.

What has been going on? Nothing out of the ordinary, I go to sleep fairly late, wake up, exercise, and then enjoy my free time which involves either reading, playing WoW, going out etc. Lately i've really been reading manga though, I've picked a big list of manga from a site that I plan on eventually reading it all, when I'm done reading it I will make a big review on what not to read and what to read, hopefully it turns out well and I'll have more than 3 mangas to keep me occupied on a weekly basis. However I recommend full metal alchemist if you haven't read it before because it has a really good story and lots of good action, plus even the non-action moments are really interesting, but it's a monthly manga so it's annoying to wait for it to be released. Another manga is Air Gear which in it's own has an interesting story that if I explained you would think it was terrible, but in reality it's a good manga and has tons of comic relief in it so you don't get stressed out from reading about people riding around on super-technologically advanced roller-blades call Air Trek (A.T for short). It's good though, I've been reading it for a while and it's tough to understand at first but you'll get it eventually, the drawing is superb so that's a plus too.

As for WoW, it's tough to play on three different servers (Malorne, Darkspear, Undermine) but I get by, sooner or later I'll hit 70 on my lock and hunter and then I can have some BG fun. (Btw heard ZL had some guild drama? =( sucks) It's hard to not play casually though but I manage to do it. I don't really wanna raid even though I have a friend that wants me to tank for his guild which would really suck, I just want to have fun in pvp since I wasn't able to when I was 60. I may join though just because I can still play for a little bit at a time and some good rings, trinks, etc. would be nice to have. We'll see how that works out.

I'll get back to updating this much more often with manga suggestions and such, I also deleted the old post because I felt it was a bit rude. Anyways, laters.

Hrm

2007-04-03T06:25:00.000-07:00

Well i'm back on a normal schedule which is good since i've needed to get back on it for a while now. I really wanted to have a morning leveling up time for any alts I wanted to play but it's a extra long maintenance today it seems, 3-11 am wth? Well after an annoying assignment I blew off some steam in pvp which apparently according to a couple people I was good I guess? I suppose I take care of my healers but meh because of that we didn't cap much lol, but I guess we were having to much fun killing everything to bother capping, 3 man Iceblood defense against 20 ally is always fun lawl, took em about 30 minutes to wise up and run past us to cap FW, I actually fell off outland too which was a fun waste of 10 minutes of rez sickness.....

Guess i'm just gonna do some homework and play some game till maintenance is over, I also wanna duel Feldeil lawl, since i'm a fricking uber warrior i'd own you =p.

**EDIT** Cbox has been added!!!!!!

Brand New

2007-04-01T18:20:00.000-07:00

Well as I promised a new post, here it is! Let's see here, this past month has been weird if I say so myself, I have returned to World of Warcraft however i'm not as active as I used to be way back when, instead i'm much more casual as I place school over Pixels....lol. What else, i've seen my friends much more lately which is really relaxing, they seem to be pretty occupied with their schoolwork too which is good actually.

WoW has been decent since i'm playing my warrior now which is much more fun than a warlock, at 70 I already hit like a truck and i'm on a terrible pvp server so I get to enjoy destroying everything in my path, really it's sad I play on all these servers and compared to deathwing they are pathetic in terms of pvp, it's almost laughable how bad some of these alliance are.

Let's see what else is there to say, oh yeah for about 4-5 months now i've had a friend living in my house for every single day and it's been stressing, imagine not being able to get dressed in your own room because your friend is in there and will wake up if you get up, he also followed me around alot, if I woke up he woke up, if I went to the kitchen to get food, he'd go regardless of just eating like 4 different items from my fridge, yeah I think he ate about 3 times as much food as I did over the months, but I ate less than everyone so that's expected. Regardless of that he was my friend but it's hard to get along with someone invading your privacy for that long so we argued alot, on the flip side we had some fun times together so i'm not really mad or anything at him. Why am I telling you this? Well because yesterday he finally was able to leave and live somewhere else with his family, it's really a big relief for me and everyone else that lives here that we don't have to take care of one more person.

As for the blog, I went with an orange template that I made overnight with help of a template maker, even with that alot of the stuff had to be done manually and it was pretty stressing but I got it done, well the basic layout at least, i'm thinking about maybe switching the color to a mixed orange on the side panel boxes, it'll be pretty easy to do that. The Cbox as I said in the earlier post will be added sometime soon but it'll take some trial and error as I need to measure it properly for where i'm gonna put it. The music player will also return with newer music when I have enough time to work on it, anyways back to school work.

~I'm gonna keep the old post for no reason, anyways if you have any music requests for the player I can
hook you up with those.

sec

2007-04-01T04:43:00.000-07:00

Just got finished making this template, expect a new post when I wake up along with this one deleted.

I'll work on getting the Cbox up soon too, also expect the music player to return sometime around this month, I don't have near as much free time as I did before since i'm really busy with schoolwork but i'll have some free time sooner or later and i'll fix it up then.

.........And no this isn't an April fools joke =p.

Nande?

2007-02-01T13:56:00.001-08:00

Figured i'd tell anyone who cares that I fixed a broken link.

Also I have officially mastered the art of eating food with chopsticks, now I need to learn Japanese.....

As for my life in World of Warcraft....it's done, i've decided I don't want to waste my life playing that game anymore when I could be out having fun with my friends or as I said, learning Japanese and working more on school work. Hopefully one day i'll be able to go to Japan and maybe live there if I like it enough, which I most likely will. As far as to what i'm doing now instead of playing WoW? Watching anime and reading manga while doing homework and practicing other things, but most of these are done on my computer soo......you can talk to me on AIM most of the time.

Until the next post. -Troy

2006-10-24T02:58:00.000-07:00

Uh so today is my birthday, i'm 18....uhhhhh fuck yes?

We all know

2006-10-15T20:21:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a while hasn't it people? Just here to say hi and let you know I am still alive, lol. You all know that though don't you? Well I finally updated a picture of myself due to people that wouldn't shut up about it *cough Beau. I haven't been up to much lately except hanging out and going places with my friends or by myself. I have a few things coming up to pay attention to such as getting my license and birthday which is October 24th, I will be getting a PS3 as a late B-day/Early Christmas present and that's because it costs $600 =p. After that who knows what i'll do, anything I put my mind to I guess. I will also post here more often since i've been slacking off a bit by only posting every 4 weeks or so haha. Peace.

whaaaa....

2006-09-16T04:02:00.001-07:00

School sucks......end of story.

Update

2006-08-30T08:24:00.000-07:00

Hrm, I haven't made a post in a while so here we go on an update on daily life! Things have been going good I guess, although i'm still bored of summer right now. I sit here and read manga then go somewhere so it's really repetative and sometimes annoying. Oh I got to talk to someone I haven't seen in like 2 years lol, I guess we still need to catch up on things, anyways i'll make a post about something random and out of place tommorrow, until then sayonara!

2006-08-23T04:53:00.000-07:00

Nice

2006-08-17T16:46:00.000-07:00

Thank god I got my headphones sent in the mail now! These are worth the wait I must say since they cost about $90, yeah that's $60 more than my keyboard @_@. Apparently the guy in charge of the UPS orders was out on vacation and left someone unreliable to take care of my order but all is good now, he will send them VIA mail tommorrow and they will be here before the weekend is out, so I am happy as can be right now!

Oh snap

2006-08-16T02:22:00.000-07:00

What's this? New blogger! Interesting, sounds awesome! Where do I begin, well I was a little pissed off earlier that my headphones have not come but I sent those fuckers a Email to tell them to hurry up or GTFO, so I better get a reply or i'll be pissed off, other than that everything has been going good if not great! Well as for my camping trip, it was boring when I had to sit and do nothing for about 4 hours each day even if I had my Xbox with me, which didn't appeal to me much at all really, the beach would have been very nice if the wind had not been going around 30mph and making my hair blow in my face, that sucked. Because of that boredom I came home 2 days early instead of staying, my mom invited all her friends and I had none of my friends there so I just got a ride and left. Bleach 93 was awesome for a filler episode, way more action in it than the last few episodes, Bleach 92 was just well.....shit, there was absolutely no fighting really, just alot of conversations to bring out the plot which was pointless because they already unveiled the plot in the 93rd episode. I'll make a new post about something later on when I feel the need to vent and/or share something cool for you guys.

back

2006-08-14T14:00:00.000-07:00

Back from my camping trip, that's about it.

Billy Talent - Where is the line

Urban Hipster, the new gangster… frontin’ by the club
A new wave mannequin packin’ haircuts, instead of packin’ guns
Magazines from overseas, won’t teach you how to feel
They trade in their hearts for indie rock charts to tell them what is real

When did they assume… putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to… ostracize
Out of the woodwork… art aficionados
Answer one question…

Where is the line? Where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
Where is the line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!
Where is the line? Where is the line?
To be yourself is not a crime
Where is the Line? Where is the line?
‘Cause some of us aren’t blind!

She sells street cred with no smile, at the local record store
She’s acting the role and dressing the part, pretending to be bored
The truth about conformity, is it bites without a sting
Trends come and go, but when your alone it doesn’t mean a thing

When did they assume… putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to… ostracize
Out of the woodwork… art aficionados
Answer one question…

Where is the line? Where is the line?

Man this sucks, Andy might not be able to come with us when we go camping so it would only be like 2-3 people then, that sucks. I beat Jade Empire again, this is like the 5th time now, I plan on beating Deus Ex again too sometime this week so that will be another game down. Hopefully we can plan a LAN or something this month before school starts up again since everyone knows school sucks, or I hope they do...I'm glad I switched to online classes now, they're way easier and are only 2 hours instead of like 10 hours like regular school, plus I can do it at home and it's also self paced so it makes everything easier for me alltogether. I plan on hanging out with some other friends soon since I got my main friends out of the way pretty much, I haven't seen Tim or David yet though so i'll need to plan that sooner or later, man i'm glad I quit WoW when I did, that game really sucks now since they've released all these new patches like Zone battlegrounds in EPL and Silithus, I mean what's the point, the EPL buff doesn't even work in Nax from what I hear and Silithis is mainly a place where people grind money and rep so it's pointless, put one in Hillsbrad or something, that will make things more interesting, me and Feldeil talked about this whole idea and how it sounded, but man they could make it so Southshore and Tarren Mill are like small castles surrounded by stone walls, and the point is you have to siege the opponent's base or capture the flag in their base, that would make things fun and enjoyable other than playing tower capture, I played the 2nd conker's and it had the same thing, it sucked. Anyways maybe they might fix their mistakes but knowing blizz, if they get money from it, they'll keep doing it.

blah blah blah

2006-08-08T19:51:00.000-07:00

Mmmm well it seems my keyboard and mouse have finally arrived and they rock ass, they have a ton of buttons for shortcuts and etc. like a button to set up my email and home page, messenger and a forward and back shortcut button for web pages, favorites, and even a button for calculater. The best feature by far though would have to be at the top which is the music player commands, I can open Itunes and change songs, volume, and even mute it by just pushing a button instead of having to Alt+Tab out of a game to change my songs which becomes a pain in the ass sometimes, so it was a good deal. I can't wait until my headphones and my Deus Ex game arrive, that will solidify everything I would have to say, mmm and it seems I go camping from Friday till Monday so that should be fun, we're staying in a yurt, if you don't know what that is then google it. Man this keyboard rocks haha, it's so quiet and the mouse is a laser mouse so it's way smoother than my old POS ball mouse. Anyways i'm outie I need to beat Jade Empire tonight.

And since Beau the dumbass mexican thinks I need to show what these look like, i'll show you a picture.Merry christmas.

mhmm

2006-08-06T21:02:00.000-07:00

Haha Jon's house was fun today, I got to see Evan and Jon which I haven't seen either of in a while, we just hung out and played super smash bros. and since I suck I made my dnd characters for next time we hang out for dnd, anyways yeah, I get to go camping for the weekend on Friday at Beverly Beach, so until my next post, peace!

OH!

2006-08-05T21:37:00.000-07:00

Tommorrow, me, Jon, Evan, James, DnD, it's on.

Sup

2006-08-04T23:54:00.000-07:00

Nothing new to say really, just another normal boring day here in Salem, Oregon, apparently i'm supposed to go pwn some dude in Estacada, Oregon so i'll work on that sooner or later but yeah, my uber mouse and headphones shipment says it will arrive in 4-6 days right now so i'm hoping i'll get those fairly soon.

2006-07-29T21:14:00.000-07:00

I'm bored as always, i'm glad I have friends to entertain me on AIM all day or give me something to do to cope with boredom. Hmm like it says in my Myspace blog if you want a song list send it to me and i'll upload it (Max: 25 songs).

Anyways i'll be going to sleep sometime around 12 midnight. Oh BTW to people that think they're all badass I have one warning:

Coca-Cola

2006-07-28T11:12:00.000-07:00

Good drink for waking up

Also good for falling asleep

lol

2006-07-27T13:34:00.000-07:00

Yeah fun stuff Myspace is turning to shit lately, pretty gay and a big reason on why I made this Blog but out of boredom I shall once again give you a guide on something cool yet random, this time it will be that badass music player at the top of my screen and how to make your own.

1. Setup : First you need to know where you can get such a player from, there is indeed a website made specifically for this which can be found here, As it says on the page you need to download the files needed for the player (they're right in the first line) then once you have those installed and opened with Winzip make an alternate folder with a recognizable name for your player such as "player" for example and extract the files to that folder, after you have done so take the XML and click it, it will automatically open up in IE (Internet Explorer), now to edit your songs, go to VIEW and go to "View Source", it will open up a notepad where you can edit you song name/artist files, fill in the correct file names and track artist in their respected section aka:

When it says Song Path="" it's telling you to enter the direct URL to the Mp3 file, -Song Path="Song URL goes here"
When it says Title="" it's telling you to enter whatever you want the text to show up as on your flash player -Title="Artist name - Song name"

Note: Do not, I repeat DO NOT insert the URL from your direct computer folder to link the songs, as you know that it is from your computer's files and nobody else can access them!, You will need a website that host files such as Fileden which is what I use, After you fill out the desired amount of songs you want your player to contain (You can have an infinite amount) then go to the FILE and save the notepad, then Refresh your IE and it will be updated but don't exit yet! again go to FILE and Save As the file but not the notepad this time, save the IE itself ex: Playlist1, once you have done that and uploaded your songs to a file holder YOU THEN MUST UPLOAD THE PLAYLIST ITSELF TO A FILE HOLDER WEBSITE AND THE SWF FILE TOO! Once you have done that you then take the code on the page and fill the places they ask!

<Embed src=Insert Direct Link To the .SWF file her " menu="false"quality="high" width="300" height="320" name="index" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="playList=Insert Direct Link to The .XML file here&ShowPlaylist=1&ShowEQ=1&firstTrack=1&initVol=50" wmode="transparent" border="0" />

It's Simple once you get the basics down, enjoy your new Flash player.

They'll think i'm insane

2006-07-27T04:55:00.000-07:00

Mmmmmmmm yeah sorry about yesterday I was worn out there after staying up all night so I got late at telling Feldeil how to make a template that's all l337 and stuff but I did just now get it to him so hopefully his noobness will have a badass blog soon, =D.

In other news I did indeed stay up all night the other night and had to stay up since my mom wouldn't leave me alone about my sleep schedule, and I need to fix my Art of Trance mp3 file, I think it's shortened for some reason, I also need to add more music to that player since I did indeed plan on adding about 40 more songs to it, so i'm gonna go work on that right now.

It should be updated in about 5 hours, Until then, peace.

Edit: Totally Updated, 69 songs...lol yeah, But it took me 5 hours to upload all the gay files so it was worth it, now I have a huge ass playlist I can listen to!

And if you have a specific song request tell me and i'll upload it for you! =)

Some gay Zodiac shiz

2006-07-26T11:44:00.000-07:00

Once again I got bored and decided to make another post woooo! I know, it's fascinating eh?!

This one I decided would be about my Zodiac signs so you can get a quick outlook on my personality and because I sit here all day and do nothing so.....yeah that's how it goes fools

My Zodiac Year: Dragon

1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000

People born in the Year of the Dragon are healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. They are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac. They neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but they tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them. They are compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters.

To be honest yeah, that is me 100% no doubt, and now my Zodiac Month sign!

My Astrological sign: Scorpio

Having the Sun in Scorpio, your task is to learn to be at ease with feeling what goes on beneath the surface of life. Scorpio follows Libra in the zodiac. Whereas Libra has an ideal about how relationships ought to be, Scorpio is more interested in the emotional reality, a reality which can be the end of any ideal! The move from Libra to Scorpio symbolises the move from ideal of how things ought to be to the experience of how things are. This applies to love relationships, certainly, but also to everyday life. A mature Scorpio has a built-in detector which can tell when the truth is not being lived, both by oneself and by other people. This can make life very uncomfortable, as you know when those around you are not being completely honest. The chances are they are not being deliberately false, it's just that they cannot see the truth beneath the surface of things as clearly as you can. Therefore a Scorpio has to learn acceptance and understanding, as well as trying to sense how far to go in challenging the falsehood, how much the other person is able to accept about himself or herself. Compatibility with others may not come easily.

Scorpio is co-ruled by the planet Pluto, which symbolises all that goes on beneath the level of consciousness. Pluto challenges innocence, and forces us to learn from experience. Those who have Scorpio or Pluto strongly placed in their charts come to know what it means to die to be reborn to a new level of awareness. Other parts of the chart may show what stands in the way of this. For instance, an abundance of planets in Aries and/or Taurus would indicate a preference for living life fully at the level of everyday consciousness and without the complications of having to delve for unconscious motives and desires. It might be possible to do this for a while, but it would be at the expense of the ultimate fulfilment which comes from living according to one's destiny. Venus in Sagittarius would indicate a tendency to form relationships which offer an escape from what might be perceived as the swamp of Scorpio, and perhaps a strong desire to travel and experience foreign cultures. There is nothing wrong with an escape hatch being available, but a more fruitful use of Venus in Sagittarius might be to find situations, maybe relationships, which offer the opportunity to find meaning out of your rich experience of life.

The above is just a brief sketch of the sort of qualities Scorpio should be aiming for. If you are experiencing difficulties on the way, the rest of your birth chart will indicate where these difficulties are, and a consultation would very likely provide clues as to how to deal with them. All aspects of our nature, as represented by the planets in signs and houses of our charts, need to be honoured and respected if the Sun is to effectively pursue its aims.

In short that means- Good Traits:
Determined and Forceful,Emotional and Intuitive
Powerful and Passionate,Exciting and Magenetic

Bad Traits:
Jealous and Resentful
Compulsive and Obsessive
Secretive and Obstinate

Yeah that's also totally me so I guess those chinese fools know their stuff.
I want that necklace too

Music

2006-07-26T05:22:00.000-07:00

Yeah pretty cool so far, added some music to my page and threw in 3 songs to add some variety incase you hate one of them.

I will try to get a music player put on this page when I upload all of the good songs I have in my computer's database, so far only 3 so I need to get on that soon, Hopefully sometime this week i'll have a full section full of about 30 different songs that are changable to how you want. Until then, peace.

Update: I have added a music player to the profile that shouldn't be hard to miss, enjoy!

Robin

2006-07-26T05:15:00.000-07:00

So yeah it's 3:00 in the morning and i'm sitting here doing nothing at all except, watching Bleach!!!!

Mmmmhhmmm, but anyways to get on the post subject aka. Robin - The badass Japanese Punk Rock band, yeah i've known about them for about a year now but I decided i'd share a little bit of info about them with you, Robin a band that was formed around January, 2001 and they got the name from their front man, who's nickname was indeed "Robin" and the band has been together ever since then. They do have a Myspace that features some of their songs and that can be viewed Here.

In other news I really need a new keyboard and mouse, my keyboard is cool and all but my spacebar just sucks, it makes this very loud noise everytime I press it and it gets on my nerves, My mouse it just as annoying since it's a corded mouse, and I would rather have a Cordless mouse over anything, so I took the liberty of looking up a decent mouse and keyboard and I found a good set for it which can be viewed Here.

Also to add Since I don't want my monitor to get all fucked up I decided that i'm also going to order a Screen Protector for it, and yes I do have a badass 17'' Monitor if you're wondering, although I would rather have a 30'' lol, but 1.3 grand is way too much even if it's 30 inches so that doesn't work for me.

Anime = Crack

2006-07-26T05:04:00.000-07:00

You broke asses need to watch bleach, where do you get bleach you say? Well shit since you can't type i'll do the work for you, lazy ass.....

IF YOU'RE A LAZY BASTARD AND DON'T WANNA BOTHER DOWNLOADING THE DIRECT EPISODES THEN GO TO YOUTUBE AND TYPE IN "BLEACH EPISODE #" AND HIT THAT GO BUTTON THING AT THE TOP, LAZY FUCKER.

However if you're cool like me you'll first go to Bleach Portal and register, and yes it is free to register and you get free episodes, however to watch these badass hi quality free episodes you'll need a certain player to do so, normally i'm not one to spam links about crap but this is actually a good player and makes WMP look like a piece of shit. I'm talking about Realplayer which is a good and easy to use player and is way better than WMP (Windows Media Player), so after you have all that downloaded and you have registered at Bleach Portal then you can get to downloading the episodes, which can be found in the Direct Episodes Section of Bleach portal.

Note: Each download has a time limit of 5 minutes before you can download the next episode but that gives you plenty of time to download the current episode and start watching your badass hi quality Bleach episodes, also to add these are Japanese, there are no american Bleach episodes out yet, however they do include english subtitles so don't worry about not knowing what anybody is saying.

Here is a picture you can stare mindlessly at while waiting to download another episode of bleach if you're bored and have nothing to do and/or you have no life, Enjoy!

Crackalacka, Snap and soda pop

2006-07-25T21:44:00.000-07:00

Yeah i'm really bored right now so i'm going to do a Videogame review right here, I don't know why and I don't care why I am either, sounds good. Let's go:

Deus Ex: Invisible War:

First of all this is a great game, you won't find much better than this, second of all, I know what i'm talking about since I own like 1000 games, and have played and beaten this specific one about 21 times, yes 21 times.

Story: You are Alex Denton a student in a special program known as "tarsus" academy in Chicago, Il. At the beginning of the story it is known that a terroist has stolen a nano detonator,(Sorta like a small tube that you click and everything within a large radius is frozen and destroyed) and you are forced to evacuate with your best friend Billy (A girl) to Seattle, Washington and are placed under surveillance there, you wake up to your small apartment and have a small conversation with Dr. Nassif, Head scientist at Tarsus academy that also was evacuated in the terroist attack, you question her on what happened but she doesn't give you much info on what happened at Chicago, she just tells you to go see Billy and get the Elevator Keycode for the training facility and meet the other trainees, (Leo Jankowski, and Klara Sparks) However when leaving your appartment, you notice a guard jogging towards you which triggers a small explosion from a nearby vent and the guard is instantly killed, so when you engage in a conversation with Billy she lets you know that she is suspicious to what Tarsus is really doing and intends to find out the truth, After she gives you the keycode you proceed to the elevator, and talk to a guard about how you saw a guard die in front of your eyes however he denies it and asks you to stay out of SSC's way, and that everything will be under control shortly, so you enter the elevator to the training room and talk to Dr. Nassif about why you were forced to evacuate Chicago's Tarsus academy, and a staff member shows up on a hololog and mentions about how one of the guards turned up dead, (the one you saw die) so she asks you to not worry and tells you to go and meet the trainees, of which you do so, the trainees consist of: Leo Jankowski, an advanced trainee that aced all of the tests on and off the battlefield, Klara Sparks is a simple trainee that is looking for a easy security job for a large company (WTO, SSC), after this conversation an event triggers where an alarm goes off, and you are contacted by Dr. Nassif where she tells you to go to your locker and get your equipment to defend yourself, (it is not a drill) once you recieve your equipment, you then find out that the "Order" a world church that disagrees with the Tarsus facilitys existing has invaded and is killing on sight, you have to fight one of these Order members right when you leave the equipment room, and proceed to Dr. Nassif's office where you notice Billy has broken into and locked the door, she tells you to go to your apartment and she will reveal everything to you there, so once again the Order has invaded the apartment suite and you are forced to "eliminate" them, (SSC doesn't help at all, they just get in the way here) as you enter your apartment you are contacted by Billy who reveals the truth, You are a subject for Tarsus's real identity, (Not giving any spoilers) and what happens after is for you to find out =D.

The Good:
This game has alot of customization in it for your character, you use Biomods to give yourself unique abilities such as Hacking, invisibilty to humans, robots and even the ability to control bots . Other than that there are quite a few side quests, and alot of nice additional parts to make the game's replay value not get old on the second time through, there are also 4 different endings, 3 basic and 1 hidden. You also get to choose what you like to talk about.

The Bad: The game can be very short if you don't bother with the side quests, and this makes it only about a 10 hour long game, also there are some annoying factors such as having to deal with sound defects that happen sometimes but not too often, also the voices mouthing could use a little work.

Other than that it's a great game.
Overall I give this game a: 9.8/10 - Amazing

Music, I love music

2006-07-25T05:52:00.000-07:00

Mood: Happy

Man I am so relieved right now, I was bored so I decided to make another Blog just based on surveys, so after I get done making it and post my first survey I go to my home menu and take a good look at both of my blogs, I then realize having a survey blog is pointless when I can just post on here and take up more space, so I didn't see the point. So I proceed to deleting my blog and well.....turns out, I deleted the wrong blog (yeah i'm retarded) and was stuck with a gay ass survey blog, so I was pretty PO'ed at the time, but thank the lord for template designers, they saved my life here, I was able to remake my blog in about an hour and I even improved it and made it look better, so I am so fucking happy right now, so happy in fact that I am going to bless you with one of those surveys that was on my other blog ^_^.

I figured out of boredom I would show my computer addons and crap, I currently have a custom desktop layout that is indeed awesome, but how did I get it is a good question? Yes it is, it's more simple than it would seem.

Here is a step by step way to make a custom desktop for your computer:

1. You'll need a program to install these desktops: a great website for any kind of desktop is Stardock Media.

-To be more precise you'll want to download and install Windows Blinds on your computer.

2. Once you have Windows Blinds installed procede to finding a good site to download some skins. here are some:
-My favorite site by far for Windows Skins is Windows Customize
- Another good site is Lotsofskins and if you want to find even more skins Here is a great site for finding any kind of skins, even WMP ones.

3.Installing: This is most likely the easiest part of the process depending on what kind of skin you have
-lots of skins come in different formats, some are already put into a file that just need the click of a mouse to create, others are a little bit harder such as file types, these take a bit more effort, some come in WBA files which are easier to access than you think, just find the WBA file and double click it, simple as that it installs itself and bam you have your skin. Others however take much more effort and you shouldn't really bother with unless you know a decent amount of info about your computer, these files don't have a WBA and have to be manually installed in their right folders, you can do this by accessing your computer files but it will take much more time and the downside is it will be permanent unless you install a different skin.

That is all I can really tell you about custom Windows skins on personal experience.

Well it seems like I updated the look on my blog and such, I like it so don't tell me it's gay or something cause I might have to beat you up, anways it took me forever to make this setup (the most annoying part was making the custom header at the top, took years) which means about 3 hours, what a waste of time yeah? It seems as if Myspace has been having it's ups and downs lately so I got bored and decided to make a blogger to post daily boredom stuff in, sheesh get your act together Tom you suck, you're not even the creator of myspace you're just some retard that acts like he knows something about HTML, as if one fucking person can create a whole database of over 1 million users and keep everything updated uh huh......Maybe the retards can think that but sorry you're just an act like Jerry from Subway. Maybe one day you can actually update your profile and make it look, I dunno...new? but sorry This doesn't cut it at all, you can make an entire website full of people and can't take 2 minutes out of your day to make a cooler looking profile? right....Regardless Gayspace hasn't been working and it's gotten on my nerves, they lie about their advertising, "it's only Tom" lol that wouldn't make any sense, that's like saying this Blogger website was made and is run by one person, it just doesn't happen man. In other news i'm sick right now so I don't know why i'm even posting this blog. Summer sucks right now, it's way too hot to go outside and enjoy myself in the sun and there's absolutely nothing to do especially after I quit World of Warcraft and started playing Oblivion, i'm thinking about picking up Everquest since it was the first MMO I played and I was way too young for my first time trying it so I was very confused on the key bindings and such, but now I could prolly play while knowing what i'm doing and after seeing Andy play it, the size of the game is insane, the amount of customization you can have is also pretty amazing, it's a flat out great game if I say, so yeah i'm gonna go get it right now and start playing.

First Post, Here we go

So I just got into this new blog thing and it seems pretty interesting, Finally I can post random crap daily about weird things I find on the internet, fun fun. So yeah it's summer and it's like 100 degrees every fricking day in Salem so it sucks pretty bad right now. I sit here all day and do nothing to so it's pretty badass. I just sit here and watch anime and get bored and make posts like this. anyways i'm gonna go make a Xanga now out of boredom. Sounds good, peace.
