[quote name='Soliel][color=green][font=Comic Sans MS]I would suggest "A Mid Summer's Night Dream" or some other play with several characters.[/font'][/color][/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Huh? Romeo and Juliet has tons of characters. O.o But yeah, I say go for Romeo and Juliet since the story seems to flow so naturally. It's also possibly one of the more popular Shakespeare plays and would attract more attention. Yeah, I'd [I]deffinately[/I] be Mercutio.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Dagger']Hm... do you remember what that was?[/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]I'm not sure, but the DVD doesn't have a whole lot of Special Features to begin with so it shouldn't be too hard to find. I remember it had a lot of footage of the Voice Actors doing what they're good at. And yeah, it wasn't necessarily [b]key[/b] information. I think it was more just information that they could've have left out completely if they wanted. I guess it may not have been "information" at all then. I'm tempted to go out and buy it now, actually. I really want to watch it again. >.>[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Yeah, I agree with Alex. Had you not mention the actual writing, I probably would've assumed it was some hyroglyphics or something. The rest of it looks great, except for [i]one[/i] thing. Which is the 6. I like the colour (yellow is fine) but is it just me or does the top section of the six look like it's falling off the page in some way or another? This could be because it is slanted on a bad angle, or because of the durastic change in shade, but I'm sure if the colour was made a little lighter and it was slanted left a tiny bit, it would be fixed. Great work though. I always love your typography.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Dagger']I was taken aback to discover that those lines were added for the dub script. They don't say anything audible in the Japanese version. [/quote] [FONT=Tahoma][color=#555555]Yeah, I figured as much. If you watch a certain part of the special features (which I reccommend, it was very interesting as I've never seen behind the scenes of dubbing before), you'll notice that they played around with the lines [I]a lot[/I] so they could fill in the mouthing of the character just perfectly. They also mentioned something about taking out some extra information and placing it back in later in the movie.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='Aaryanna][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue']I plan on watching it again to see if there were hints or clues that I missed regarding that the first time around. [/COLOR][/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]You think much like I do apparently. I had the exact same reaction when that whole scene happend, and as such, I rewatched it the next day and found one clue. [spoiler]I believe it's near the beginning of the movie, some random civilians are talking about a missing Prince from whatever city it was.[/spoiler] That's the only clue I found, although I did forget about my whole plan to find clues and just got sucked into the movie fairly quickly.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma][B]Name:[/B] Niles Steighger [B]Age:[/B] 24 [B]Appearance:[/B] [url=http://www.marvel.com/universe3zx/images/c/c0/Abyss.jpg]Abyss in 2004[/url] Basically, Niles is a man wrapped in egyptian mummy tape. He wears clothes, and his arms, hands and face are the only things aren't covered up by clothing. [B]Powers: [/B] When unravelling his "ribbons" (which is actually his skin), his body becomes a portal to hell, and he can use those ribbons to pull his foes into hell, or other useful things.

Although he always takes part in conversations, his tone of voice is very flat and bland. He tends to be the first person to enter battle, and the last one to leave. If there is anything he can't stand, it is villains. [B]Biography:[/B] [i]Will fill in later.[/i][/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Well, personally I like fluffy socks. You know which ones I'm talking about. The kind of socks that almost feel like sheep wool, except they're not. Normally I just wear those socks when I'm around the house, since my feet probably wouldn't fit in my shoes. They're also very good for sliding around the kitchen floor aswell. Which is always fun while making Kraft Dinner. Otherwise, I wear ankle socks. The thin kind that, well, go up to your ankles. For some reason I don't take to kindly to long socks that go far up my leg. They just don't appeal to me (on myself at least). And as for colour, I normally just wear bland white socks. Fairly boring, huh?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=#555555]Is this real? Are you serious? When you first showed me this, I thought it was some joke somebody made by taking clips of an old Samuel L. Jackson movie and adding snakes. So this movie is real? But the snakes are so fake at some points! It can't be real. The plot is too [i]out there[/i] to be real. ... Wow, it's real.

[FONT=Tahoma][color=#555555]Oh yes. Beautiful, Gav. This short story really gets you thinking. It could be taken as a completely original story, or could be taken as a satire. That's what gets you thinking, and I like that. Aside from that, it's written wonderfully. You didn't take much time to describe every tiny detail, but it was just enough to picture what was happening. Not too much, not too little. I really enjoyed it. Bravo.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[quote name='GoldScorpion78']Anyone who says they weren't confused at age 14 is either a liar or the world's most perfect person.[/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Okay, now that's just not true. Just because you're confused doesn't mean all other 14 year olds are. I knew I was straight at the age of 14, and I have known that since I can remember. Anyways, let me put this to you simply. If you can produce ova or bear young, than you are female. If you have organs that produce spermatozoa for fertilizing ova, than you are male. If you have sexual orientation to persons of either sex, you are bisexual and if you have undergone a sex change operation or identify completely with the opposite sex, you are a transexual. From what I've gathered, you are a Bisexual Transexual. One who identifies entirely with the opposite sex and has sexual orientation with both sexes. I hope that helped. ^_^[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Desbreko][color=#4B0082']No matter who wins, the drama afterwards is always the best part of these events.[/color][/quote] [FONT=Tahoma][color=#555555]Indeed. Ack, I've now thought of two more people I would have liked to nominated. It's a shame the Art Pad Picture Chain didn't get on aswell. :/[/COLOR][/FONT]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Oh boy. My nicknames will forever haunt me. [list] [*][B]PK[/B] When I first moved to Aurora in Grade 4, my three best friends (Connor, Steve and David) decided that since there was already a Steve in the group, they should give me a name. Since my Dad is a Pastor, they thought that PK (Pastor's Kid) was a suitable nickname. [*][B]Pikachu[/B] After a few days, we realized that I could no longer bear the name of PK since really, my older brother was PK and I was PK2. PK2 quickly caught on and when said fast came out as Pikachu. Pikachu lasted for about a week, which is when I became Ellerby. [*][B]Ferret[/B] In Grade 6, I told my friends how obsessively I wanted a ferret. Not only did they constantly make fun of me for this, but they also dubbed me Ferret, King of Ferrets. This lasted for about 3 days. [*][B]Ellerby[/B] My nickname that has been around for centuries (literally, my brother, dad and papa were all called Ellerby aswell). Ellerby is my last name (pronounced ELL-er-bee... or L-ER-B) and so is a very suitable nickname. It has a nice ring to it, and everyone I know (besides my family) calls me Ellerby. It later spawned Lrb (my previous OB Username), a quicker way of typing Ellerby. [/list] So, now you know. And I swear, if any of you call me Pikachu I [i]will[/i] get you.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Tahoma][color=#555555]Wonderful! I must say that the Nifty Fifty thread looks amazing this year. The graphics were a very nice touch and the winners certainly deserved the niftyness. So, congratulations to all the nifty people and threads out there. And good job Shy, Delta, and Retribution! I kind of miss the Otaku Awards, though. :([/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][color=#555555]Wow, haven't updated here for a long time. Thought since it was March Break, it would be a good time to create some artwork! So, I created my very own myOtaku deoderant bodyspray. XD It started as my very own bodyspray, but when I got lazy about coming up with a name, I went with mO. That's why the first one's colour scheme isn't very OB-ish.

[quote name='Sara][color=#b0000b][size=1]And I will say this about stepping down as moderator: I'll miss the Secret Staff Yaoi forum. :([/size'][/color][/quote] [FONT=Tahoma][color=#555555]Wait, what? That's supposed to be a secret? Anyways, I love OtakuBoards because after a long day of school, nothing refreshes me like a quick post in the Arena or making some art to show to the Art Studio. Really, OB is a safe haven from all the cool kids at school. It's the one place I can go where I don't have to worry about people judging me. Plus, the people I have met here are wonderful. Everyone is generally so kind and cool. And the cookies are yum yums.[/color][/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma][color=#555555]Oooh boy! I just saw this masterpiece yesterday and it was well worth the money. I found the whole idea was very unique and just simply breath taking. I liked how you couldn't really pinpoint the era of the movie, as it was a whole new era of it's own. This movie is certainly my favourite anime movie. The voice acting was superb (did anyone else keep thinking of Batman whenever they heard Howl?). As for Dagger's first question, [spoiler]I believe Howl realized Sophie was the women from his childhood when he found her sleeping and she was young again.[/spoiler] And you know what? I think I liked Howl best [spoiler]as a redhead[/spoiler].[/COLOR][/FONT]

[color=#333333]Hmm, interesting. I really don't see the point in having a search option. I mean, I have a few pages of PMs but rarely do I need to go back and find them. And when I do, it isn't a big task to go back and find it. It's not like you're searching through different boards, just a couple pages. And the CTRL+F key isn't a nuissance or anything, it works fine. I really don't think a PM Search function is necessary.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Delta][COLOR=#656446]Alright, something a bit more pleasant this time: [b]Be buried alive[/b] or [b]death by drowning[/b]?[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=#333333]Ooh, that's a tough choice. Well, I'm not very claustrophobic so being in the coffin wouldn't be too bad. I do have a fear of the ocean so that's more points for the ground. But I just don't like insects at all, and if I were buried alive without a box, there would be bugs. And I don't do well with bugs. I choose the drowning, I kind of think that would go by faster as well. Why is everyone's choices so horrid? Man, let's go with something nice for a change.
