[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Aw.. When I clicked this thread I misread it for [B]What Bowser Do You Use[/B]. I'm disappointed. ;___; Anyway, I use Internet Explorer. Why? Firefox sucks. I tried it once and hated it. I'm probably just so used to the look and feel of IE that a change from IE to Firefox is to durastic for me. I realize there is a way to make Firefox look like IE, but I did that and it just wasn't the same. I don't think it's fair for you to say that 80% of Internet Explorer users are ignorant. That's an insult. I know that Firefox is better, I just [b][size=4]don't give a damn[/size][/b].[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]It was? Oh, I didn't see that, DW. :p Forest, click [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/misc.php?do=bbcode#spoiler]here[/url] to learn how to use spoiler tags (the 'black highlight'). Did anyone else notice that Elizabeth was about [spoiler][FONT=Tahoma]five times funnier in this movie than she was in the first?[/FONT][/spoiler] The whole [spoiler][FONT=Tahoma]Ghost Virgin Bride of the Boat thing was hillarious[/FONT][/spoiler].[/FONT] [/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Oh my... okay you guys need to learn how to use spoiler tags. If there is something that you are posting that is a spoiler in the game then surround the sentence with a spoiler tag! Click [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/misc.php?do=bbcode#spoiler]here[/url] to find out [i]how[/i] to use them. :) Back to the topic on hand. This game [url=http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/1828/rawkhawkcopy3fy.jpg]rawks[/url]. I'm about 21 hours in now (just going through all the worlds [spoiler][FONT=Tahoma]for the second time[/FONT][/spoiler]) and it's still just as fun as it was when I started. My favourite world is (as you can see) Timeless River ([spoiler][FONT=Tahoma]The level where they go back in time to 1928[/FONT][/spoiler]). I'm sorry, but [spoiler][FONT=Tahoma]black and white[/FONT][/spoiler] Sora is pure awesome.[/FONT][/COLOR] [b]EDIT:[/b] P.S. Level 38 and haven't died yet!

[FONT=Tahoma]Yup, you're in aswell Dare (as I told you earlier). Anyway, to save space and such, I'm just going to start [i]PMing[/i] anyone who signs-up to make things easier. However, Sign-Ups are still open.[/FONT]

[font=tahoma][color=#555555]Heh, thanks guys. I wasn't really sure how to go about the little points on Haku's hair so I just left it. I'll just ask Retri or Kitty sometime. Anyway, recently I have been obsessed with the game Kingdom Hearts II. If you've played it before, you'll know what my next piece is, otherwise you won't really understand it. Timeless River is one of the worlds you visit in Kingdom Hearts II. It's based off the old Mickey Mouse cartoons (specifically 1928's Steamboat Willie) and therefore is a black and white world with old-style characters. So, yeah. I made a wallpaper of it because it's my favourite world in the game. :whoops: [center][url=http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/782/timelessriver29cf.jpg][img]http://img471.imageshack.us/img471/6008/timelessriver3oq.jpg[/img][/url][/center] And there you have it! Comments please. Don't bother commenting on the empty space, though. I like my desktop backgrounds fairly simple so they don't distract me from my icons. :p [center]---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center] Since nobody posted about the wallpaper, I'll just add my new artwork. This is an image for my portfolio. [center][img]http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/4237/copy2gj2.jpg[/img][/center] Whaddya think? :)[/font][/color]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Yeah, I guess so. Anyway I saw the movie for the second time recently and discovered a few things. Things you may want to read. [spoiler][FONT=Tahoma]First of all, DaSilva's theory on Tia's locket matching the lock on the chest? Approved. In fact, in the scene where Davy Jones is playing the organ, the camera cuts to a locket sitting on the top of it. Yes, it's identical to Tia's locket. Second thing, since I was seeing the movie with my friend this time (who has seen it before aswell) we decided to stay until the movie was over completely to see if there was anything after the credits[/FONT].[/spoiler] There is. I'm not going to tell you what it is. [spoiler][FONT=Tahoma]And it's not important. But it is quite funny (even though it's rather short)[/FONT].[/spoiler][/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]I've got a theory on how [spoiler][FONT=Tahoma]Barbossa is still alive[/FONT][/spoiler]. Here me out... [spoiler][FONT=Tahoma]At the end of PotC 1, Monkey Jack stole a piece of aztec gold from the chest, right? And that made him Undead. Now what if Monkey Jack also took a gold piece and gave it to Barbossa while he was still dying? This would make Barbossa undead again and cause the bullet wound to not do anything. The only problem with this theory is (DW came up with this when I told him) that if Monkey Jack [i]did[/i] give Barbossa a coin, why would Monkey Jack then go with Captain Sparrow's crew and not stay with Barbossa? Even so, I still think the theory is probable[/FONT].[/spoiler] What do you think?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[size=3][center]Chapter 4[/size] [/center] [font=trebuchet ms]Meanwhile, on the other side of the world... "Fetch me a sandwhich!" growled The Big Bad Boss. He was a large humanoid wolf that stood on two feet. His fur was brown and the only clothing he wore was a red pair of overalls and a blue top hat (a fashion fiasco). "Ye- yessir." gulped one of his minions. Boss clutched his hands around the glass goblet beside him and sipped some milk from it. Licking his lips, he waited impatiently for the FSF (Food Special Forces, for some reason The Big Bad Boss found pleasure in naming normal things all cool-like) to return with his sandwhich. What the FSF leader came back with was not a sandwhich at all. It was, in fact, a sand witch. The Boss slapped the plate down on the floor, shattering it into pieces (and shattering the FSF leader's heart ;__;). "That's a freaking Sand Witch you idiot! Seriously, you guys put the 'Special' in Special Forces." The Boss tapped his chin. "What's the news on the troopers I sent out to kill Little White Walking Hood?" Another minion of The Boss', a porkish yellow bear with a red shirt spoke up. "Oh bother. I do believe they died trying to get to him." "...sonuva." The Boss' teeth glistened as he suddenly grinned at his chubby friend. "Hmm.. if I give you some artillery, would you go kill him for me, Winnie the Boo?" Winnie the Boo stood up and saluted his leader. "Of course!" "Very well then. Guards! Take Boo Bear to the artillery room and let him take whichever weapons he chooses..." [color=#555555][CENTER]-----------------------------Back to the heroes!-----------------------------[/CENTER][/COLOR] "NO!" What? "I don't want to go back to the heroes." Who the Gavynn are you? "The other narrator." What other narrator? "Ermm... your mother!" Wait, you're no narrator... That means as soon as you speak, I can put any actions afterwards! "Huh?" said the hairy beast, picking his nose. He flicked his booger across the room and ran away, never to return. Now, back to our heroes. [color=#555555][CENTER]-----------------------------Back to the heroes!-----------------------------[/CENTER][/COLOR] Gavin had drawn a map out in the dirt with a stick. He had entrances labeled, a compass in the corner and even a sun with sunglasses at the very top. He was drawing a battleplan for the other four heroes. For the Lost Noobs would be getting to them at any moment. "All right, so basically the only thing we'll need to beat them is that crystal I mentioned earlier." explained Gavin. "The one with powers beyond imagination that the evil darklord Big Bad Boss is trying to get his hands on to take over the world as we know it?" asked White. "That's the one." "Coo." DW gave White an odd look. "Did... did you just coo?" White looked a DW with an eyebrow raised. "What? No no, that's ghetto talk, ya hear? Like, how people from the concrete jungle were raised, brudda. They got the angry skills, cawt." "Cawt? That doesn't even wor--" before DW could finish his sentence, a flaming spear pierced the ground inbetween them. "Crap! They're flaming us. We better get a move on for that crystal." "Oh the crystal is right here." said Gavin. Retri Hood dipped his head down towards the breaded man and poked him in the belly. "Why didn'--" "Hoo hoo!" yelped Gavin, interupting Retri. Retri poked Gavin again, getting the same "Hoo hoo!" response. "You're not the freaking pilsbury dough boy. Cut the lame act. Now where is the crystal?" Gavin pointed at the picnic basket, indicating where it was. White opened the lid and a strange white light shone out. He put his hand in the brown case and pulled out a bright white crystal, glowing an immense white light. "I wonder why I didn't notice that before." Suddenly, the group was confronted by a man dressed in black. He had weird markings all over his face and was surrounded by the Lost Noobs. Definitely the leader. "Gavin! How do we use the crystal?!" yelped Jokopokonocchio. Gavin looked at him as if her were an idiot. "How the hell am I supposed to know?" he said letting the others down. White, still in a small state of panic, shrugged and chucked the crystal at the Lost Noobs leader, knocking him out cold. The Lost Noobs, seeing their leader fall, quickly screamed in horror and ran away.[/FONT]

[center][img]http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/6031/warioware0rl.jpg[/img][/center] [font=tahoma][color=#555555]So I was sifting through Play It, looking through some of threads when I was shocked to realize there wasn't a Wario Ware: Smooth Moves thread yet! Therefore, I made one. This is (as it has been announced officially by Nintendo) one of the Wii launch titles. And I'm happy for that. Wario Ware (in my opinion) has always been a series that you just kind of rent, play for a week or so, and then bring it back to the game store. Though if someone baught it (which I will be with Smooth Moves) I wouldn't be surprised. The game's freaking addicting, lol. It has great, creative, levels and with the new Wiimote, those levels will be even more creative and fun than before. So, will anyone else be getting this game? And is anyone else excited about it?[/font][/color] [center][img]http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7434/smoothmoves3ti.jpg[/img][size=1] A group of girls playing Smooth Moves.

Am I the only one that's going to try this game when it comes out? Come [i]on[/i]. The game looks decent enough to post about. The multiplayer would be quite interesting (especially if they forced you to use one Wiimote, hah).[/color][/FONT]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]I could not live without... Girls. v__v Seriously, I am a [I]ladies man[/I]. Sadly, I don't have a girlfriend right now. But I will soon. My friend is having a pool party tommorow, and I'm going to a house party on Friday. Plus I'm going to the mall Tuesday and on Wednesday I'm going to Paramount Canada's Wonderland (a big theme park). Without girls, there would be no point in living. Literally. O___o[/FONT][/COLOR]

[b]OOC:[/b] [color=#555555]Oooh, yay! This RPG was fun while it lasted when Leh did it. I'm sure it will be equally fun this time around. I won't be signing up as the same character I did in Leh's version, though. :whoops:[/COLOR] [COLOR=5555555][FONT=Tahoma][B]Real Name:[/B] Aaron Lindus [B]Age:[/B] 21 [B]Delta Name:[/B] Talent [B]Delta Age:[/B] 26 [B]Team Name:[/B] Sigma Fi Omega [B]Class:[/B] Thief [B]Player Rank:[/B] 2 [B]Weapon:[/B] He dual wields a [url=http://www.mwart.com/images/p/Medieval_Daggers_Knights_Swordbreaker_2206_114.jpg]Swordbreaker[/url] in his right hand and a [url=http://imagescommerce.bcentral.com/merchantfiles/5077181/Sinbad%20Scimitar.jpg]Scimitar[/url] in his left. He also carries packs of [url=http://hotarunohikari.uw.hu/GJ/wishlist/kunai.jpg]Kunai[/url] to help him escape lost battles, and to aid him when climbing trees. [B]Personality:[/B] Talent's personality matches that of his name. He's very cocky, especially when in battle against other players, and brags about his skills non stop. He impresses the ladies with his acrobatic skills (see abilities) and always has something to say about something. Although he is a thief, he is still very loyal to his team. He almost never strays from Sigma Fi Omega unless he's scouting ahead (since he's the fastest). Since he's as much as a flirt as Dri is, they constantly have flirting sprees with eachother (although they would never actually do anything with one another). Joohn is more of a best friend than anything else and they have a strong relationship. Elliot is seen as Talent's intelligent friend, sometimes seen as the leader, sometimes seen as a threat. [B]Abilities/Magic:[/B] [i]Acrobatics[/i] - Talent prides him self in his acrobatic abilities. His skill with jumping, dodging and agility is increased by three times that of the normal thief.

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Hurray for Chapter 3! First, a quote. [quote]Jokopoko has just dumped his robotic fuel all over the ground in fear.[/quote] [i]Hah![/i] That was a brilliant line, bud. Anyways, I really liked this chapter. Although there were not as many funny parts, it was just about ten times cooler. Ban Bullets was a nice touch, and who was the Fat Wizard? I have a question, though. How come the Ban Bullets effected the Wizard and not The Boss? The Boss had a mod-gun, but he wasn't a mod. And if it was the mod-gun that protected him, wouldn't the Wizard's protect [i]him[/i]? Meh, it was great regardless. [/FONT] [/COLOR]

[quote name='Illusion][SIZE=1']Quick question, may we look for the coins as pairs or do we have to do it individually? ^^;[/SIZE][/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]You may have as many people looking with you, but only one coin per person. :)[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma][QUOTE=Tical]A Gavin of laxitives? Interesting, Most Interesting. Y'know... I'm sorry to say that I pretty much don't like your story. Namely because it's not that funny, and it's not that origional. Plus your chapters are too short... they take like 1 minute to read and are un-memorable. I'll keep reading though, in case it gets better.[/QUOTE] Just because it's a story doesn't mean the chapters have to be long. Oh well. I won't be writing many more chapters. Nobody seems to really enjoy them, and if nobody likes them then what's the point of continuing? So, I expect there will be about 5 chapters in total. Oh and Tical, I'd like it if you didn't act like a hypocrit when posting about my story. :) [quote name='Tical']Just the word 'Jokopokonocchio' made me laugh. It's fun to say... I keep saying it over and over again.[/quote] I thought you said it was unmemorable? :nono:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]I've been asked these two questions a lot lately, so I'm just going to give out a little reminder... [quote name='Shy][SIZE=1']Remember that only the first correct answer counts, so if someone answers the riddle correctly before you do, you need to try and answer a different one before its too late.[/SIZE][/quote] If someone has already posted the same answer you have in mind, don't bother posting it. You won't get the point. Only the first person to post the correct answer gets the point. [quote name='Shy][SIZE=1']Although I may post as many as ten riddles each week, members are only allowed to provide the answers to one of them.[/SIZE][/quote] This means you can only post one answer [i]per round[/i]. Not one answer per post, not one answer per day. Once you have posted your guess, you cannot post another guess. You can go back and edit your first guess, just as long as you have what you want to submit by the deadline. And yes, the next ten riddles will be much harder. :whoops:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Whoo! I just started reading the Naruto Manga a week ago and I am in love with it. I'm currently just starting Volume 7 (cahpter 55). Although I am [i]way[/i] behind you guys, I'm still provoked to post about it. I have one question, where does the "Rock" in "Rock Lee" come from? I realize that Lee is his first name but does that mean Rock is his surname? Be ready for questions, because I'm sure there will be a lot of things I don't understand as I read through the Manga.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[center][size=3]Chapter 3[/size] Invasion![/center] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]"Hey guys?" asked DW, taking a bite into his sandwhich. The group had stopped for a quick picnic since Jokopokonocchio was hungry. "Yes, DW?" replied White, reaching for the mustard. "I just realized that if there was a witch that lived on the beach, and you killed her and ate her... you could say that you ate a Sand-Witch but nobody would ever know that you ate an actual person." Everyone stopped eating. Retri Hood and White stared blankly at DW and Joko blinked inquisitively at his sandwhich. "I should shoot you for that. I really should." said Retri. "Just something to think about." DW remarked, finishing his sandwhich. Suddenly, the ground started rumbling. Young boys cheering could be heard in the distance. Jokopokonocchio started packing up his stuff as quickly as possible. The others looked at him with an odd look. Jokopokonocchio glanced at them. "Pack up. It's the Lost Noobs." The three companions looked at eachother and started to laugh but stopped when they realized Jokopokonocchio's nose had grown an inch. He was telling the truth. "I've heard of them," said White, gulping. "They're a specific group of noobs led by Kuja Pan whose grammar and spelling never gets better. They often go around flaming unsuspecting villages." Retri Hood shrugged it off. "I could kill them with my arrows." White shook his head. "That won't do you any good. They're protected by Spam Dust. Any attacks against them are reflected. We'll need to find an old, intimidating member. Someone who has been around a while and can scare them away with knowledge." DW grinned and stood up. "I can do that." "DW you're facing a tree. We're over here." said Retri. Joko whispered to White. "[i]Are you sure he represents Prince Charming. I swear he's one of the three blind mice.[/i]" White chuckled and shrugged. He dipped his hand into the food basket and felt around. He took out a gingerbread man. It had a note attached but he just tossed it away, eating it. He bit off the leg and stopped. "Retri... could you please read that note?" Retri nodded and took the note. [center]"Dearest White, In this food basket I have included a Gingerbread Man. He was made with special magic dust and laxitives. He is wise beyond all reason and can help guide you to Granny's. If anyone ever tries to eat him, they'll just start pooping. Hope he helps. Love, Mom."[/center] White's eyes widened and he dashed to the bushes. The Gingerbread Man on the ground spoke up. "Gavin the Gingerbread Man is the name. I hear you need help warding off some Lost Noobs? I can help with that."[/FONT]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Hell yes! This story is freaking awesome, Boss. I love just about every part of it. It's funny without being a comedy, and I like that. It leaves room for serious action. As I'm reading it, I can literaly play it in my head with ease. And the whole Onix thing on the rooftop was great aswell. [quote][SIZE=1]The two enter the thread with their guns drawn and loaded.[/SIZE][/quote] I love that line. It makes it seem like it's the ghetto of OtakuBoards, each house being a thread and each floor being a page or something. Anyways, I would really enjoy reading more. Like Jamie said, I'm impressed.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]In celebration of my getting Photoshop CS2 back, and becoming addicted to the Naruto Manga (currently halfway through volume 6), I made a new graphic! It features Haku from Naruto.

[font=tahoma][color=#555555]After watching Quell Danjer and Andrea fight for a while, Mask turned his head towards Mr. Dark. Dark's mouth cracked with a faint smile as he slipped his hands into his pockets. Mask clutched his shoulders and ripped his cloak off. This was going to be a tough fight. Whipping out Noker, he readied himself for the fight, knowing that Dark was a worthy opponent. Wasting no time at all, Mask jumped onto the side of the wall and ran along it towards Dark. He lashed out Noker in its electrical function and jumped down to strike at Dark. But Dark was too fast for such a simple move to work. He brought out the Tenga Blade in no time flat and blocked the blow with the blade. Mask jumped backwards and stared at Dark. "Not much of a talker, are ye?" said Mr. Dark. Mask didn't budge. He ran along the same wall and jumped at Dark again, this time he pitched a Skull Bomb at the base of Dark's feet and a gasious fog appeared, giving Mask the time he needed to get behind Dark. He lashed Noker at Dark's back, giving him a quick shock and walked backwards again, returning to the stance the two has started with. "Interesting technique. But nothing gets me twice. Actually, nothing usually gets me once!" yelled Dark, who has brought the Tenga Blade to a charging position. He bolted towards Mask who stood still. When he was ready to strike, Mask jumped over and around Dark and swung Noker at him only to be blocked by the Tenga Blade. The weapons clashed for quite a while, Mask's agility turning out to be a worthy adversary of Mr. Dark's strength. [i]Opening.[/i] thought Mask. He planted his left hand on his belt and chucked a skull bomb at Dark's stomach. It hit, but the explosion did not do much damage. However, it gave Mask enough time and crawl up the wall and get to a safe distance. This did him no good, though. Dark quickly realized what happened and took out a throwing knife, whipping it across the room towards Mask. The blade of the knife impaled his mask, sticking to it like glue. Mask pulled the Knife out of his mask and dropped it on the floor. Dark couldn't see it, but he was grinning.[/font][/color]

Wrenches, screwdrivers, etc.[/COLOR] [B]Personality:[/B] [color=#555555]Tallus is a carefree, yet hardworking apprentice. He studies almost all the time, as at times, his tutor can be very strict. However if he isn't working, he tends to let everything go and just relax, smiling the day away. If confronted by other people, he tends to be fairly serious (to impress them). But once he gets to know them, he lets loose.[/COLOR] [B]Abilities/Items:[/B] [color=#555555]Although Tallus has no magical abilities, he has a few useful items that were homemade by himself. [b]Door Opener Plus.[/b] Tallus mose sacred invention, it's a lock pick that does the work for you. You stick the device into any lock, and it moves around until it finds the correct combonation. When it does so, a green light flashes and you can turn it like a key. [b]Trigger Bomb.[/b] Using the energy of the Bomb Flowers, mixed with the Goron's incredible nack for technological inventions, Tallus, with his master, created a Bomb Flower, that could be triggered manually. They called it a Trigger Bomb, as you set the bomb off with a trigger.[/COLOR] [B]Weaponry:[/B] [url=http://www.saxonsquire.com/Irish_Festival_04_001.jpg]A War Hammer[/url] [B]Background:[/B] [color=#555555]When Tallus was a child, he dreamed of travelling to far off lands like the green-clad hero. He was never quite agile enough to fight monsters, so he stuck to what he was best at. Calculations. He didn't know it at the time, but Tallus had been studying a very primitive form of engineering. It was when Tallus was 15 that his master mechanic entered his life. The Goron was visiting Hyrule on a trip to show a certain Hylian Mechanic new things the Gorons discovered. Tallus had been sneakily following him when he was caught. Asking his name, Tallus gave it to him and feared for his life. But the Goron was gentle. He patted Tallus on the head and gave him a wrench. With that, he left. But only to come back one year later. Tallus was 16 and he had already made his first invention. Although it didn't work, it was still decent. He showed it to the Goron and, impressed, the Goron took Tallus under his wing with his parents permission to be his apprentice. Ever since, Tallus has been the Goron Mechanics Apprentice.[/COLOR][/font] [size=1]"No! No no no! You're doing it all wrong!" Tallus' stepped back from the toy he had been trying to fix and let his master show him how to fix it. Two days from now, his master would be putting Tallus to the test. A test that would show his true engineering skills. Right now, they were training. "How can you expect to pass if you can't even fix a toy motor boat correctly?!" Tallus shrugged. "I have my own way of doing it!" "Your own way won't cut it when the big guy tests you. Once you get out on your own you can do things your own way. For now you have to do it by the book," Tallus' master stepped back from the toy. "Now try again." Picking up a screwdriver, Tallus walked towards the table and unscrewed the sail. He placed it next to the boat and looked at his teacher who nodded. Continuing along, he flipped the boat upside down and took out four screws that were holding a panel in place. He took off the panel and put down the screwdriver, exchanging it for a pair of tweezers. He slipped the tweezers inside the whole the hole the panel was covering and felt around for a particular wire. [i]Gotcha![/i] he thought, finding the correct wire. He could tell it was the correct one because it was much thinner than the others. "Just as I thought," he said. "The main circuitry wire has come undone. All it needs is to be placed back on the notch." His teacher nodded and Tallus did exactly what he had said needed to be done. Screwing the panel back in place, and re-attaching the sail, he placed the toy boat in a small tub filled with water. Not only did it float, but it also adjusted itself upright when it was knocked over in the water (which is what all the circuitry did). Tallus' teacher patted him on the back and smiled. "You'll pass with flying colours, m'boy."[/size]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]I'm know I have had a lot of funny moments with my friends when it comes to games, but I don't really think any of you guys would find said moments even the slightest bit comical. Simply because you'd have to be there. :P However I do have moments where I have been with friends and we just laughed because the game itself was funny. One particular moment that is running through my mind right now is while three of my friends and I were playing Conker: Live and Reloaded (an extremely hillarious game on its own). For those of you who have not played Conker: L&R and plan on doing so, I'll spoiler tag the next bit (although it's not much of a surprise).[/COLOR][/FONT] [spoiler][font=tahoma]There is one level where you enter a cavern (on Poo Mountain) and a voice echoes throughout the cove. It says he wants some sweet corn. So you go around the room and pickup sweet corn, throwing it into the large yellow pool in the middle. After you pitch in three of these, some music starts. Out from the dirty water comes a large, bubbling, brown piece of turd with arms. No joke. He sings opera too! "I~ am the great and mighty poo." he says. It's freaking hillarious. To beat him, you have to dodge poo that he throws at you and when he starts singing, you chuck toilet paper into his mouth.[/font][/spoiler] [color=#555555][font=tahoma]The whole level was just laugh out loud funny, especially with three other friends watching. Great fun.[/FONT][/COLOR]
