[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Alright! I was hoping the Wii would be released in time for my birthday. I guess the day of is as close as you can get. :whoops: Wii Sports being part of the package is kind of cool, I guess because I really didn't want to buy the game seperately (though, I expected it to come built into the Wii as a sort of Wiimote Tutorial). Virtual Console it a little bit more expensive than expected, but it's still fair. I'll still pay for the games.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Yup, so long as it's there before the deadline I'm cool with editing the piece. And if you're looking for fonts, I highly reccommend [url=www.dafont.com]DaFont[/url].[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DiMGrey][FONT=Tahoma]After much talking, Adas and I have decided to add [b]3[/b] more elements to the list. So, on top of Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Nature and Thunder, we've added Ice, Metal and Psychic. Go crazy. :bdance: And yeah, to repeat what I said earlier, you [i]can[/i] compete for spots.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Well, the nunchaku attachment does have motion sensing. But I still see your point. I really can't really imagine how the Nunchaku would be attached to the shield... and the fact the motion sensor on both the Nunchaku Attachment and the Wiimote would be covered doesn't help either (though I do recall the site saying something about the sword having it's own motion sensor, but it was translated from spanish to english using google so I'm not sure if that's exactly what they meant).[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='DeadSeraphim][size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]You could still rest it on your knees. lol Just the same as you can steer a car with your elbows on your knees.[/font][/color'][/size][/quote] [COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Not really. If you let go of a car steering wheel, it stays attached to the car. If you let go of this, it'll fall. Just try holding a plate like a wireless steering wheel. The position I instinctively went into was letting it limp a little with my arms bent down and the plate below waist level (this is while sitting). I don't know about you, but I found it incredibly ill-fitting. It feels much more comfortable holding it out front, and that, like I've said a couple times already, would get tiring. I'd much rather use a Wiimote sideways.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Still, stretching your arms out like that? It'll get heavy after a while. With just the Wiimote, it's small enough so that you can rest your elbows on your knees, but the wheel is too big for that. Too awkward.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]So... according to the PS3 thread there won't be a whole lot of PS3's at launch. Just another point for Nintendo. Also, I found [url=http://www.koopacabana.com/archives/8-Ubisoft-Bundles-Wii-Steering-Wheel.html]this[/url] at KoopaCabana.com. I'm not sure why Des didn't tell us right away (:animeangr) but I thought it was worth sharing. Like I said in my comment there, the idea is really cool, but somehow I just know that holding a wireless steering wheel in front of you will get tiring after a while. Thoughts? [b]P.S.[/b] I also found [url=http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/492/mkaetwcc2.jpg]this[/url] on Google. Not sure if it's fan-made or not but would that not be the coolest Wii-cessory ever?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Give me a break, it was 2003. I guess you'd have to have been a member back then to really understand. :p Anyway, I'll be closing the sign-ups in a couple days seeing as we technically have all the sign-ups we need. I'm only waiting to see if anyone cares to compete for a spot.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]All my window shopping is done at Nintendo.com. :glasses: But if I'm not actually looking to buy a game (which is like... never since there's always some sort of game or console I want) I'm looking around the pet store. Seeing those fluffy orange kittens in the window.. ;__; But I have a cat at home, no need for two. So, yeah, other than that I basically only visit the mall to buy music and clothes and I never window shop for those things (though it is nice to look at expensive plasma TV's...).[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma][B]Name:[/B] Cornelius "Coco" Posthumous [B]Age:[/B] 16 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Appearance:[/B] [url=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Cybernator/honky2.jpg]Coco[/url] stands at 5'10" with a weight of about 130lbs. He's very agile and fairly muscular for his size. When it comes to his light blonde hair and his bright blue eyes, you can just tell that he was born a leader. [B]Element:[/B] Light [B]Starting ability:[/B] By concentrating all of his elemental powers into the tip of his finger, Coco can turn his finger into a sort of powerful flashlight. [B]Reason:[/B] All Coco lives for is truth and justice. He believes strongly that all bad people can be forgiven at least once. Treat your neighbours like you would have them treat yourself are his words to live by. It's no surprise that Light chose him as it's representative. [strike]Everything looks great so far. My only problem is that [b]Acheron[/b], you need to to change your Starting Ability. Adas and I talked and we both think that walking on water is a bit much for your very first ability. You can get that later, though.[/strike] :whoops: You fixed it and I've approved it. Looks good.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Yes, Sakura is right. There are a few others. I just wasn't under the name White when I posted 'em (Sandy, you should know this from Knowing Me, Knowing You!). Here they are (ontop of what Sandy already posted). Alright, so before Elements: Online, Elements: Rewind and Elements: Order of the Fenix (which by the way I came up with before the book for Harry Potter came out) there was (in order from latest to oldest) [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=26880]Element X: Death's Revenge[/url], [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=23197]Element X[/url], and [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=19829]Elements: The Wonders[/url] (my very first one).[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma][quote name='Sandy']Not having played in any of your Elements RPGs before (I'm pretty sure there've been several of them in the past, though), I have to ask whether there's some crucial information I should know about them? Or do they link to this game at all?[/quote] The other Elements RPGs carried the same idea, but don't link to this one at all story-wise. So no worries there. [quote name='Sandmeister']What about our character powers? The recruitment thread instructed that they should start from as minuscule as possible. Will the characters carry any weapons with them, then? Will they later gain access to some super-duper-elemental-armors like Power Rangers or sorts? I know, it would be kind of cheesy, but who knows what you've planned for the game? ;D[/quote] The powers will get better as we go along, but like you said it's all planned. Not something you need to know for the sign-up. For now just don't mention anything about weapons or armor. ;)[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Random! Is that the top of a red maple leaf I see? If so, you are officially too cool for school. Psht, JayCee. I think that that's amazingly good looking for a wet, un-combed hair, no make-up, 4am and glasses picture. The guy that PMed you probably meant to PM someone else. :)[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='DeadSeraphim][size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Man, when I personally pictured White I envisioned someone much more attractive. Same with DW, back when he was relevant. Protip: [i]When you talk yourselves up, guys, we can't help but feel terribly let down when the truth comes out.[/i][/font][/color'][/size][/quote] [COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Yeah, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I think of myself as a much more teenage attractiveness than a grown-up attractiveness. And obviously I'm not super sexy, but when you compare me to some other people on Anime Forums (not necessarily anyone in this thread) I'm fairly decent. Anyway, here's a shot my friend took when I walked in the room to tell him I lost. [center][img]http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/7794/picture014boh8.jpg[/img][/center] I have to admit, Delta, I did not expect you to be hot. You really caught my eye, lol. And of course Ai.sAkUrA.chan, you're lovely looking. In case any of you guys are wondering, the games in the bottom left are RF Online, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2 and Heroes V.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma][CENTER]*now understands why the Picture Forum was trashed*[/CENTER] Anyways, I guess I could post a picture or two seeing as nobody will respect OB's layout (I was waiting for a full page without any stretchage of the layout to post). And hey, if I'm persuaded then I'll post new, never-before-seen pictures of myself.

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma][b]Zeke-ness:[/b] I'll try to limit my words so that Onix doesn't kill me. You're hot. [b]Acheron:[/b] You're black?! Dude! Did not see that comng. The picture of you and your step-father is cool, too. [b]Gavin:[/b] Yeah, your eyes are pretty blue. Much like mine. You should try combing your hair, though. [b]JayCee:[/b] You [i]know[/i] I think you're adorable. [b]Papa Smurf:[/b] Is that actually you? Did you actually go to all that effort? If so, bravo. [b]Ikillion:[/b] I guess Retri is no longer the Token Black Guy on the staff. =[ [b]DeadSeraphim:[/b] You're actually nothing what I had you pinned as. Nice duck in the background, haha. [b]Mr. Maul:[/b] People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Charles']It's Nintendo. Enough said.[/quote] [COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]You know looking at past Nintendo products, saying "It's Nintendo" could actually go either way, haha. Bombu; I'm not exactly sure how you're dad could have scratched the CDs with one of those players... is it possible he scratched them some other way and just didn't realize? Because I use those kind of slot-loading car players all the time and they've never scratched my CDs. One thing I don't like about the Wiimotes is the different coloured Remotes. The actual colours are fine, but instead of colouring certain parts of the Wiimote that colour (like leaving the directional pad and buttons white or something) they just coloured the whole Remote a particular colour. Lame.[/font] [b]EDIT:[/b] [indent][size=1][b]Quote: Wikipedia: Wii[/b] "A second flap cover is located on the front of the machine, which opens to reveal an SD card slot in the middle and a "SYNCRO" button, used to link the controllers to the console."[/size][/indent][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Just to avoid some confusion, [url=http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/wp-content/wallpapers/wii.jpg]this[/url] is the picture I saw with the eject button. But now that I think about it, I guess there would have to be an eject button (to get the CDs out of the blue thing, hah). I'll look around and see if I can find out what that little thing on the left is.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma][quote name='James][font=arial']I actually really like the way Wii sits at an angle when it's vertical. I think it's a very cool effect.[/font][/quote] I liked it at first, but not enough to be permanent. That's why it was a relief for me when I found out it was only the stand. [quote=Bombu]When the PS2 first came out, I decided to have mine set up vertically with the stand, as opposed to the horizontal set up. Little did I know at the time that the vertical set up caused some nasty scratching to my game discs, due to the positioning of the PS2. Even though there isn't much of a difference between the Wii's slanted set up and its horizontal set up, I'm still hoping that it doesn't cause the same thing to happen again.[/quote] When you say your CDs got scratched I'm going to assume you meant because they kind of fell out when you stuck them on the disc tray. If that's what you meant, this'll actually be impossible with the Wii since the way you put in a CD is you just slide it in a bit and it sucks the CD right up (like what you would find in a lot of cars). [quote name='Ikillion']But now that I actually see that it is in a stand I hope they don't do something stupid and make you buy the stand.[/quote] I seriously doubt they would do that, lol. [b]EDIT:[/b] Okay now that I'm looking closer I can see an Eject button. But the panel that looks like it would eject is kind of small so maybe that's just for GCN discs.[/FONT][/COLOR] :animestun
