[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Welcome, [B]newbie[/B]! =P And no, this can't go here. Sorry! Please read these set of rules, and you'll know why! Please, if you have any questions feel free to PM myself or another staff member. [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=52331][U]Otaku Lounge Rules[/U][/URL]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Papa Smurf[/B] - I once dyed my hair blue in the fifth or sixth grade, and it just sorta spawned out of no where, but did not stick for very long. Thank God. [B]Stupid Stanly - [/B] A friend from Virginia always called me Stanly... Don't ask why. It shall forever remain a mystery. [B]Disco Stu[/B] - I'm refereed to as "Disco Stu" by my friends ALL the time; I certainly don't mind, of course. That nickname somehow came up after my friends fell witness to my mad DDR skills :cool: [B]Stuart Van'Gogh [/B] - This is my artist name, duh. I use it to sign all of my bizzare and ridiculusly silly creations. A friend of mine actually came up with the name, after he painted it on a painting of two stick figures. It's really quite the picture! The art teacher at school loves to call me by it. I'm sure there are many more I just can't think of at the moment, so I'll edit in more at a later date. Stay tunned![/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Yeah, actually there is a Wi-fi friend codes thread. It's located [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=50458][U]here[/U][/URL]. =P. Also, there's an Animal Crossing: Wild World thread that you can use to discuss the game further [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=44601][U]here[/U][/URL], if you'd like. Be sure to submit your friend codes to the Wif-fi friend codes thread![/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][quote name='James][font=franklin gothic medium']My signature is actually the logo for the Sydney Opera House. Having just been down to the Mardi Gras - and having loved it - I thought I'd use that as a theme for my avatar and signature. I really like the Opera House logo, it's very simple and very distinctive.[/font][/quote] Oh, I see it now that you've said what it is. I sat here for three minutes earlier watching it, and pondering to myself: "What bizzare orginal animation has James created thsi time?" Another mystery solved! I believe my signature is fairly self-explanatory; It's a segment of AIM conversation I had with Retribution recently, and I found it to be signature material. My signature until now has been pretty empty. The "Married to Kitty" is there to show... Well, that I have an OB marriage with Kitty? Haha-- Those are silly. And of course, the Graphics Club link, because it pwns like that. Represent.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=52171][U]This[/U][/URL] thread tells you all you need to know, and covers all the aspects. Hope it helps.[/FONT]

[COLOR=Sienna][FONT=Trebuchet MS]This thread has little room for discussion; A majority of the replies have been one or two lines, and don't really provided much more than "My favorite color is ____. The end". I won't close the thread, but If posts which aren't really cuttin' it continue to pop up, The thread will be locked. So, let's try to expand a bit more on your responses, please. If you find that you are unable to tell anything more than "My favorite color is ____." Then please aviod posting, so that threads do not begin to pile up with short, and sometimes spammy posts. Thanks to all the people who did expand on their posts! You rock.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Well, to put an end to any and future uncertainty, and to add to the discussion: [B]Halo movie[/B] "It is official, there is a story doing the rounds that Hollywood is preparing a movie about the world of Halo. If a rumor hierarchy did exist, this particular one would be on its way to college to start a 3-year course to become a rumor but considering the current buzz around anything Halo, we just had to report on it. The story does go into some detail however and if any of the names associated with the movie are correct then the chemistry sounds perfect for the job. Which Halo fan would say no to having Ridley Scott, (Blade Runner, Alien), direct, Ed Harris appear as Captain Keyes and Samuel L. Jackson as Captain Johnson. It appears that Bungie has been in talks with Warner Brothers regarding a movie but has insisted that it will only consider handing over the movie rights if the original Alien director and writer are involved, something which may throttle the project since Ridley Scott is not very easy to get. According to insider information, appearing on ain't-it-cool-news, Scott has, apparently, been offered the script, storyboards etc. before and passed on doing a Halo movie but that was all before Halo 2 started breaking all sorts of sales records. The idea of Ridley Scott directing a Halo movie seems the perfect match of high-tech effects with a traditional tense directing style and the thought of large epic-scale battles from the game appearing on the big screen under Scott's direction is definitely pleasing. It will be however, extremely disappointing if the entire project fails to take off due to one person's refusal. There is no doubt that Ridley Scott is the perfect man for the job but there has to be some other director who can handle the project; possibly a European movie directed by Mike Leigh so that we can discover the social aspects of Master Chief's career and the personal journey he has to take in order to reconcile his differences with his ageing and sick father. Since everything is at the speculation stage for the time being, we will leave you with one thought of a Halo movie directed by Ridley Scott in which tense Black Hawk Down battles are followed by claustrophobic psychological tension in the style of Alien and where breathtaking photography is accompanied by epic orchestrated vibrant music as Hans Zimmer usually creates. Not bad is it? Who would you like to see directing and starring in a Halo movie?" - [URL=http://www.megagames.com/news/html/movies/halomovieintalks.shtml][B][U]Megagames[/U][/B][/URL].com

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Wow, this thread is way out dated. Please do not post in threads that haven't been active for a long period of time, or in this case, 5 years. If you'd like to create a new thread regarding Simspons trivia, I'd suggest you do it in the Music, Movies & Television forum. If you have any questions, feel free to ask myself or another staff member.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]What line could better kill a thread than: Do you believe dinosaurs ever existed?[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Yo, MurdocLuva! Seeing as this is anime/cartoon related, I'm gonna redirect it to the ze anime lounge; Our specfic forum for discussion such topics. I also would suggest to possibly expand on your [i]crushes[/i]. If you have any questions, feel free to ask myself or another staff member.[/FONT] [SIZE=1][B]P.S.[/B] I hope there isn't already thread on this >.>[/SIZE]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Ah score! I'm next. And I get work with along with Drix's picture, Mwuahaha. The time of my entry may vary depending on wether I can snatch a mouse from a school computer tomorrow or not. Currently, I'm without a computer mouse because mine recently died *morns*, and a laptop touchpad isn't exactly Photoshop friendly. Or in my case, PaintShop Pro friendly ;D And if for some reason my thieving skills can't get myself a new mouse, you'll have to wait till I can buy one at the end of the week. Toodles.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][quote name='Retribution][size=1']Erm... Kitty, it's going to be nigh-impossible for the next person to make things not look choppy without cutting off your half-finished circles. I'd recommend erasing those that overlap to the next panel. Aside from that, though, it's looking pretty awesome![/size][/quote] Don't talk crazy, Retribution. *sigh*. A skilled graphic artist could make it work, so bleh. Isn't that the point? I like a good challenge! But I can understand your point.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Sorry, demon slayer 5, but there are two things about this thread that obligate me to close it: 1. This is the incorrect forum for discussing anything video game related; Use the Play It forum for that. And 2. There is already a thread about Kingdom Hearts 2. To keep from repeative threads, it's asked you don't create more than one of the same video game thread. Instead, you can furthur your discussion there. The link can be found in the Thread Directory. If you'd like to talk KH2, please do it [URL=demon slayer 5][U]here[/U][/URL]. If you have any questions, feel free to ask myself or another staff member.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]What is it exactly you find complicated?[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Ello, anime girl67, and OMEGASNAKE. I don't find much purpose to this thread-- You never stated a topic you'd like to discuss, and without that, no one has anything to talk about. You should think of a topic that will spark peoples interests and allow members to engage in some form of an intelligent discussion. So with that said, I guess your friend will have to use the PMing system in order to introduce themselfs to other people afterall. If you find anything too confusing, I recommend checking out the rules page, which you'll find on the left navigation menu. If you have any further questions or concerns, please use the Suggestions & Feedback forum, and browsing through the FAQ, which can be found under the rules. I also would suggest browsing through the forums, to get an idea of what we expect in posting quality, and discussion ideas, here on the boards. If you have any questions, feel free to PM or message a member of the staff. And also be sure to review our forum rules, If you haven't done so already. [b]Thread Closed[/b][/font]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]After a quick Google.com search I've come to learn the Risembool Rangers is a fan club for a man by the name fo Vic Mignogna, who I've come to believe is an voice actor for several anime, movies and video games? Right. Well, I don't quite know what exactly to do about this thread. You're opening post, the_sixth_child, is a bit difficult to follow, but seeing as your intentions are to discuss this character, I don't see reason to close it unless it spawns spam. So, please remember to stay on topic. For more information about Risembool Rangers, check out [url]www.risemboolrangers.com[/url]. As strange as that may be O.o[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Way to go, Shy, Now I feel obligated to expand, no thanks to you. Just because I'm a moderator doesn't mean I have to be active with our community events :p. You hurt my delicate feelings *cries* [B]The OFFICAL OtakuBoards Graphic Tournament: [/B] Yeah, that's right, folks, the first offical graphics tournament. Nifty, no? It was very much a success too, and it really brought some life to the seeminglessly dead Art Studio. I believe the idea was brought up by Retribution? It was lootking a bit bleak from the start, but Dagger held the entire thing togher and the show continued! Making Dagger nifty in the process too. [B]Retribution:[/B] Alex amazes me, and I look up to the pride he takes in his art and his passion for graphic design. He gave true life to the Art Studio, and made brought along many great ideas. Such as: The Banner/Avatar Orphanage, The GFX Club, Graphics Class, The small but enjoyable Last-Man-Standing competion, and uhh... Well, his wonderful personal art thread. (Were there some I missed?) He also went out of his way to give as much possible critque to all of our member's designs, and yet harsh at times, he was only trying to help the member to improve their skills and abilities. I often find it difficult to actually comment on his pieces because they're just that bizare, and too artisy for me to comperhend. Good heavens, what a guy. [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Charles :[/b] Nifty - [I]Definition provided by The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.[/I] I don't believe I've actually had a coversation with Charles, but I think he's pretty damn nifty-- One of the funniest members that's come to my attention the three years I've been here, certainly. I really enjoy this guy. The niftyness of Charles cannot be placed into words of the English language, and unfortunately, that's the only language I know. OmfG did u no he was once an admin 2?! No, I bet you didn't. N00bies >.> There are a lot of things about OtakuBoards I find nifty, but I'm too lazy to mention them.[/FONT]

[I][FONT=Trebuchet MS]"A world government is a speculative idea about the formation of a single government that would govern the entire world. While, hypothetically, such government might take one of many forms, such as a single communist global state, dictatorship, empire, monarchy, or theocracy, the only form currently enjoying substantial global support is a democratic federation of the existing nation-states. The main arguments in favour of establishing a world government are that it would eliminate the need for violent and destructive means in resolving large-scale conflicts and would improve the effectiveness of handling global issues. Detractors claim that such a government is either undesireable or, more often, not attainable in the foreseeable future and is, therefore, not worth pursuing."[/I] [B]- Wikipedia.org[/B] This is an issue we are discussing in my current history class. I've heard the opinions of my classmates, but I'd like to hear more from the members here-- I believe there is the potential for a lot more output here, and I'd like to hear it all. So, now that you know what the world government idea is, I'd like to get a discussion going on wether or not this is an idea you'd one day purpose, or are you respectfuly againest it? In what aspects do you believe it would be benifical to the world, and what the negative impacts it would have. Would it be ran by a "world president"? If so, then would every person on earth be able to vote, or would each country cast one vote that is decided by that countries' representitive? There a lot of questions I'd like to ask from you, but I think you get the idea of what I'm looking for. I currently have little to nothing to say on the topic, but I will become involved once I can hopefully get a few responses.[/FONT]
