Drizzt Do'urden

Damo stared down at the table in front of him looking bumed out. "psst" he whispered in jinx's direction "watch this" he grinned as he slowly pulled all the toppings off the piece of pizza Nayomi was eating, cheese and all. He watched as she got ready to take a bite....Just before she took a bite of the now dry crust she shot damo a look of "Put it back before I put you out". Damo quickly replaced everything just as it had been. Beside him jinx had taken a break from her spark shower to laugh at him. [I]Damn she's good....how the hell did she know about that?[/I] Damo sat perplexed as he admired his leader. [I]With her in the lead, and the others with me I'm ready for anything[/I]...his spirits quickly lifted about the upcoming mission. The "Omen" seemed more like a bad dream than something with any validity. The moment was almost awesome if it weren't for jinx still chuckling beside him. "Now listen here I was willing to ignore the fact that I dropped lower on the hedious combination chart...but....grrrr" he cursed his inability to talk smack to her. His odd combination of hidden feelings for her and fear of reprisal made him stammer uncontrollably... Finally giving up he decided to wait silently for the others. No doubtedly enjoying their seemingly easy victories too much to notice the time.

He tried for as long as he could to hide fact that he realized his feet were afire. "Okay that's enough" he jumped off the couch...well he stood off the couch. "And my shoes are melted to the floor" He couldn't help laugh. "Guess I'll just go get another pair...my LAST pair" He ripped as hard as he could until he heard the shoes rip. Looking at the floor and seeing the soles still stuck there while the top half of the shoe came free they both bursted into laughter. Hurrying back to his room he laid the burnt shoes in the closet next to the other 4 pair she burned. One good pair left he slipped them on and stared at the pile [I]I'll get these fixed with the money this job should bring in[/I] As he sat on the bed he did his best to picture where she was sitting....and sent a mental hand into the room and grabed her Ipod right off her head. Sneaking back into the doorway he laughed as he kept the ipod out of her reach and whirled it around the room. Suddenly she turned and his shoe became hot again. "Okay okay here you go, just don't destroy my last pair of good shoes" He let he ipod drop into her waiting hands and hoped over the couch beside her. He figured he'd better let her "cool" off before the others arrived.

a $10 pizza would be $2. Plus (At least in the US) all your major pizza chains pay their drivers normal minimum wage $6.85 in Ohio. So really pizza delivery drivers don't need tipped. I usually do a $5 tip for anything over $20 and $2 for anything under $20. As far as waiters/waitress' go in my opionion it should be 20% at all times. With minimum wage increases. The tipped employees wage only went from like $2.25 to $2.75 If i'm correct. That again was only for Ohio though.

I guess I should've read this much before my last post, if after everyone reads it they could let me know if they think I over stepped my boundaries or not. By now we all know a little bit about eacho thers personallities and how they'd act in a conversation/small situation.

Damo couldn't help but laugh out loud. With the doom and gloom he didn't even notice her take her earphones out. "It's nothing really...I just realized something today.." "Oh knock it off" She punched him playfully in the arm. "Its not just about today, though if you and Nayomi hadn't been there; I'd have lots of boo boos for you to kiss" Both sharing a bit of a chuckle he continued. "You and the others are so confident in your abilities, so sure of yourselves, and all your powers have developed so much. While mine haven't, I know I'm still coming into myself but" "You need to stop it, it wasn't a walk in the park for us today, and the way you took Dennis down that was good too." "Yeah but look at Nayomi's half morph thingy, JB's a damn monkey boy with all the agility and strength anyone could ask for. Dukes cool as hell and a hardass to boot, you have more ways to use fire than the devil himself. My power seems weak by comparisson and I'm wondering if I'm slowing down the group." "Toughen up chief, I have a feeling you'll do just fine. And this mission will be just the thing you need to find yourself" Damo was embarassed for spilling so much to Jinx, he did really appreciate her for listening to him. Hell he had to admit he liked Jinx, which made him feel all the worse about the dream he had, having to see her in so much agony. He thought for a moment about telling her about the dream, but feeling already to much like a little kid he decided he needed to lighten the mood. He used his powers to tap her on the oppisite shoulder from where he was sitting. As she turned to see no one there he couldn't contain his laughter. "Think that's funny huh? You'll pay for that" Jinx growled. Her face was all smile as she put her ear pieces back in. Damo knew she'd get him back, but it would take her awhile to think of something good. Damo withdrew his own ipod and started unraveling the earphones when suddenly he noticed his feet were starting to burn....

Sim training...[I]I'm not saying anything against you Damo....[/I] He knew she wasn't, but he couldn't hide the feeling that he had let everyone down. If it weren't for Jinx and Nayomi he would be dead..[I]Dead and gone....[/I]. The thought made Damo shiver....[I]I have to be more sure of myself, I know I should've killed Dennis, but...it just didn't seem right[/I]. After returning to his room he thought of his comrades. [I]JB...Duke...Nayomi...Jinx...They're all so sure of themselves..so sure of their powers. Maybe I do need some sim training...[/I] He quickly packed the essentials. And grabbed the only weapons he had ever used. His two daggers that were designed for throwing but he had modified them ever so slightly to be used for close combat. [I]Guess its time to do some training[/I] Glancing out his door he noticed only Jinx's lights were out, so she must've been the only one ready to go. [I]Damn that was fast...I'd hate to bother her so I'll go do set up the training myself[/I] Arriving in the computer room Damo entered the relex sim training program level 6. As of right now the program had 15 difficulty levels...[I]Only level 6 this is ridiculous, the others have already made it to level 10+ but Nayomi did tell me not to wear myself out and I've only made it to level 8 myself[/I] Damo decided to stick with the program and in seconds after placing the VR helmet on he was plunged into the cyber world. Opening his eyes Damo was in a long corridor with rooms on either side...[I]This is weird...Different from before[/I]. As he crept down the corridor a door to his right flung open. Inside he saw Jinx she was tied to a chair while a man in red stood in front of her. Damo triend to enter the room but an invisible barrier kept him from entering. [B]"Damo! See what will happen the next time you let your friends down"[/B] The voice seemed to have come from all around him. As the voices final echo rang the man in red brought forth a sinister looking dagger and plunged it into Jinx's heart. With a soundless cry of agony she fell limp. Damo half in tears proceeded to the next room. This time it was Duke tied to a chair, the same voice rang again; and again the result was the same. The same thing happened two more times, both JB and Nayomi...both dead. The last room opened and this time it was Damo on the chiar...and instead of looking in the room he was looking out...[I]How the hell did I get here...let me go![/I] He cried, but no audible voice was heard it was all in his head. Damo noticed a strange symbol on the mans cloak but he did not know it....nor could he see the face of the stranger with the dagger. [B]"You will never be strong enough to help your friends..this is the only thing in your future weakling"[/B]. The voice boomed, but before Damo could reply the dagger was plunged into his heart...the pain...the stinging pain. "GET OFF!!!" Damo sat straight up in bed. A dream..nothing more than a dream. Damo grabbed his overnight bag and headed into the hallway. Just like his dream Jinx's light was the only light off. Heading towards the conference room he froze. [I]If I skip out on my training Nayomi will know and will be mad[/I]. Deciding not to let his dream scare him he went to the training room and ran the program. Level 6 just like his dream. This time however he was sent to the same sim program he had always done. After completing it with ease he made his way to the conference room and plopped down beside Jinx who was listening to her Ipod. Not in the mood for music he left his in his bag and put his head down. Now knowing if he should share his dream or just forget it. One thing was for sure, he wasn't going to let his team down...It wasn't going to happen.

Damo saw Dennis winch at the pain the dagger caused in his leg as it wizzed by...[I]Nows my chance[/I] Damo was still in an enraged state from the beating he took moments befoe. Using his anger as an amplifier he ripped up a huge chunk of nearby sand and formed it into an orb. Seeing what Damo was doing Dennis launched two more knives his way...[I]Perfect[/I]. Damo let both knives inbed themselves in him, one in the shoulder and one in the thigh. "ARRGH!" Damo screamed. As the sand fell to the ground Damo started to move it towards Dennis knowing his opponent thought the battle soon over. Damo fell to his knees and grabed the knives. Glancing up he saw Dennis smile that sadistic smile of his. [B]"Its over Dennis[/B] Damo rose to his feet ripping both daggers out screaming in agony. At the same time he enclosed Dennis in an orb of sand using his mental energy to turn the orb into a solid mass. Seeing how easy it would've been to use his mind and skewer Dennis with his own knives. Damo couldn't help but feel compassion for his enemy...Discarding the daggers he snaged a large piece of metal that had remained from the casing of dukes opponents bomb. The metal was about a foot long and just what he was looking for. "Let me out you piece of shit" Dennis was kicking at the ball, each blow weakening Damo's hold a bit. "You want out well here you go!" Damo yelled as he used his mind to hurl the metal in the exact spot he knew Dennis' head was. The orb allowed the object to pass as though it were air and a loud crack came from it coming in contact with Dennis' head. Damo dropped the orb and looked at his opponent crumpled on the floor still breathing just as he had hoped. "Lucky you were paired against me be bud, Nayomi wouldn't have had any mercy for you" He couldn't help grimmace a little seeing the mess Nayomi had made of Cliff. He glanced over at Jinx, badly burned and bruised but alive....Damo heard something from behind him, glancing back he saw Dennis jump to his feet knife in hand. Damo prepared to dodge but knew they were too close. [I]Oh god...I'm so stupid[/I] Damo could only watch as Dennis' hand rose to a throwing position. Just as he began his throwing motion Damo saw him thrown to the ground by a burst of flame...Jinx...[I]Oh thank god[/I] and before he could rise to his feet Nayomi was upon him. In one bite she ripped his throat out. Silencing that cocky mouth forever. Damo rushed to the girls.."Thank you so much" "Shut up Damo..."Nayomi Barked Damo knew what she was about to say....

Damo looked out at his friends who were all locked in deep combat, when suddenly he noticed something bright flash to his left. "Another flame demon?" Damo realized who it must be as he turned and saw JB's opponent. [I]Must be the ability borrowing girl[/I]. His attention was suddenly drawn away as Nayomi came flying and landed right in front of Dennis. "Sorry about that". [I]Always calm and collective[/I] Damo thought about Nayomi... Seeing her calm and collective even after the shot she must've took to get thrown all the way to Dennis gave Damo knew strength. Damo charged at Dennis again, already formulating a plan in his head. At the last moment before reaching Dennis, Damo grabbed himself with his powers and rocketed himself up and slammed his knee into Dennis' face full force. Watching Dennis hit the ground rolling Damo couldn't help but smile. That was until Dennis rolled to his feet and launched a dagger at Damo. "YIKES" Damo yelped as he tried dodging to the right. Not quite making it far enough the dagger made contact with the left side of Damo's cheek; Drawing a small line of blood. "Okay...Now I'm mad" Damo growled. Damo located the stone he threw earlier and summoned it to him. "Let's see how you like this" Damo broke the rock into 5 jagged sharp smaller stones. As the stones began to swirl around Dennis Damo noticed only twice did they make contact, and even then it was just a couple knicks in Denni's legs. [I]How in the hell did he have time to draw two more knives and how is he deflecting all of them?[/I] Knowing his mental energy would tire before Dennis' physical Damo began charging ahead ready to pulverize his opponent while he was occupied with his stone daggers. Once again just as Damo closed his opponent launched his knives. This time however Damo was ready and went into a baseball slide as the knives passed over him harmlessly...Well almost harmlessly. They attack broke his concentration and the stones fell to the ground allowing Dennis to leap onto Damo and begin pummling him with his fists. Shots to both the head and torso, everytime Damo went to block his attacker switched. "ENOUGH!" Damo cried as he unleashed a wave of mental energy throwing his opponent off him. Damo and Dennis both rose to their feet staring at each other....Until an explosion behind Dennis raised both their attention. The bomb girl duke was engaged with got a taste of her own medicine and went sprawling....Seeing the orb of blood slowly change into the rings they now were damo knew how to end this fight once and for all.

Damo couldn't help but hesitate to hop into the frey after seeing Nayomi's brutal rage and Jinx's [I]heated[/I] battle with opponent with fire conjuring. [I]This shits real.....what did I get myself into?[/I]. Before he had a chance to think anymore an explosion rocked the arena. "Jinx!" Damo saw both Jinx and the fire demon opponent become enveloped in flames.... "DAMO!" A voice rang over the explosion "It's time for us to play". Damo looked around, everyone else seemed to be a million miles away fighting their own battles. "Who are you?" damo answered the voice, suddenly he realized where it came from. A small young man not much older than Damo but at least a foot shorter and fifty pounds lighter than Damo's 6'0 180lb frame....[I]Hmm this is going to be easier than I thought[/I]...Damo wondered for a moment how he had knew his name. But had just attributed it to good information gathering on the part of the leading team. Summoning a nearby stone about the size of a bowling ball. Damo willed it behind his back, out of his opponents sight...Charging full force forward Damo waited until he was only 6 feet away from his opponent, dove right and rocketed the rock forward with all of his might. His opponent however rolled the same direction at the exact moment and came up swinging. A furry of punches came from the small man whose strength seemed almost amazing, but Damo knew it was more of the surprise than the strength of the blows. Regaining some balance Damo managed to block a punch and reared back and swung full force....missed again Damo was again rocked with a furry of tiny punches. This time ending in a roundhouse kick to his face Damo was sent airborne.....[I]Guess theirs no need to fight fair[/I] Damo thought to himself. He used his telekenisis to kick dirt up towards the small man....missed again. As he arrose the man was staring at Damo. "Weak just as I saw....Allow me to introduce myself. My names..." "Dennis!" Damo squeaked. Knowing what this meant for him, Dennis' forsight ability was legendary in the school. He could see into the future minutes ahead, and if he concentrated enough he could see longer. "That's right loser, and I've seen all possible outcomes of this fight, and none of them end with you leaving this room" Knowing that if Dennis saw it, it was almost certain the small man now looked 100ft tall. [I]I'm going to have to get creative if I have a chance[/I] Damo's thought was interupted by another explosion from the raging flame war that was happening close by. [I]What I wouldn't give to have a pissed of fire demon right now[/I]

Damo Jackson Age: 20 Ability: Telekenisis Damo sighed as the two girls left the room. [I]"Probably a good idea if I turn in as well.....I just hate that nobody's in higher spirits"[/I] Damo had always felt the need to be the center of attention (possibly due to him being one of the younger ones of the group and the last to be placed with the others.) and the fact that everyone seemed to be in a more somber mood upset him immensly. Damo said goodnight to the others and headed to bed himself....[I]Ahhh a little fun first[/I] Damo thought to himself, just before he shut his bedroom door he decided on a "prank". Concentrating he used his mental energy to pound on Naomi's door. Quickly shutting his door and flipping the lights off with his mental energy he heard the door to Naomi's door open and then shut a moment later. [I]She's going to kill me tommorow...hehe worth it though[/I] And with that, Damo drifted off to sleep dreaming of what was to come.

Name: Asaku Age: 29 Personality: Asaku is very layed back and does not excite easily. He is not very open with others and prefers to work alone. The deaths of many of his comrades has caused him to be almost completly non-sociable. Appearance: Very tall and muscular, though very slender. At 6'2 180 pounds he's both agile and powerful (I'll post an image tommorow) Weapon: Favoring his Slightly curved longsword "Tokar" and throwing knives. Asaku is also very skilled at hand to hand combat. Though when push comes to shove he always chooses the blade. Clan: North-eastern Main Spell: Twin Blade; Infusing the fire and ice magic he's so inately gifted at Asaku adds both to Tokar. Then lifting it high into the air breaks the blade apart creating one fire and one ice. The blades both have a secret ability. "Icing" can emit small icicles that act as small throwing knives, though not directlfy fatal can puncture armor and fatigue an opponent. "flamebrand" Shoots a small stream of fire that is not fatal but can knock an opponent off balance and/or cause severe burns and break in concentration. Another gift twin blade gives asaku is the ability to use the ice to slow his opponent or the fire to increase his own speed. Either one of these abilities ends the twin blade spells effects to his blade and takes a great toll on asaku once it wears off. Bio: Asaku was cast out of his home at birth due to a mother with post-pardom depression and a father who never wanted a son who would have to serve in the military. He was later found by a soldier and immediatelly adopted by the clan's military. Being discovered to have little to no magic ability he was thrown to the wolves as a foot solder. By the age of 6 he was able to beat most grown men who joined. At age 10 he was placed into his first batte with the 4 comrades he had made who were only 13 years old themselves. Though the battle was a total loss Asaku and his friends valiantally fought slaying 20 men each and surving. They all were selected to become leutenents when they reached age 16. Their next battle would be when they were 18 against a large ground of raiders. The battle went well, but all of Asaku's friends were slain. Realizing the truth, Asaku left the military in search of some meaning in the world. Choosing only to speak when the situation truly warranted it, Asaku allowed the soldiers to beat him. his only chance of survival layed in battling his commanding officer. Though Asaku bested him easily he decided it was time to reveal his work, being judged as a non-magical person fuel'd his desire to learn the arts. He revealed his twin blade attack and used the two blades to sever the head of the captain. Thus discharging him from the military, but placing price on his head to any who dared challenge him...it didn't happen very often. more recentally a messenger arrived from the palace with a scroll addressed to Asaku. After taking it from the messenger Asaku read it. It was a letter pleaning for Asaku's aid in repealling the attacks from the "main" clans. After agreeing, he was told of the "My best verses your best" challenge posed. Asaku agreed he would help repel the invaders but as far as the tournament went he would have to think long...and hard about it.

Sadly I'm going to have to discontinue this. It's come to my attention I'm going to be leaving for a deployment soon, though I don't have a date for sure. I'd hate to see my vision cut short by that. Thanks for everyone who view'd and everyone who showed interest. At least this will give me sometime to morph my vision into something a little more.....popular I guess.

War decends on the planet Furillia. The five races that have ruled the five continents have been at odds for a decade now over the stones of power that fell from the sky nearly a century ago. A small island in the center of the ocean is the setting for the final deliberation over the fate of the races and the stones..... Grand sorcerer: Let us gather and hear the call of Tai-bur. Let him decide who will be the choosen hero... This is just a small portion of the intro to Day of Destruction. The story is set in a land where five "master" races have to pick a hero each for a "joint" operation. Each race will have it's own god and intro story (written by whoever decides they'd like to be envolved in this). While war breaks out, our heros who are summoned by the "grand sorcerers" of their countries. The first half of the story will be the characters on their own until eventually the "plot will thicken". The Races: (Be creative, I don't describe the appearances because because I want you to feel free to "design" your own look, please include a picture of what your character might look like.) Sapians: Baisc human race. can use any type of low level magic and weild any weapon. Jack of all trades master of none. Their stone is the spirit stone (allowing them mastery of any spirit magic (sort've like ki) Magi: Magic weilding race. Not very good in hand to hand combat, can use and master type of magic. Their stone is the stone of water (allowing them to master water magic even at a young age) Slythes: Race of thieves. Very dexterious. They are excellent marksman and swordsman. They are able to master the healing arts, both magical and herbal Their stone is the stone of wind (allowing them to master wind magic (both healing and offensive)) Krun: Barbarians, very large people who rush into battle usually weilding giant hammers, giant axes, and other large weapons. They cannot use magic. (Their stone is the stone of earth, allowing them to use and master earth magics) Ashlands: Assassins by nature, very skilled in the use of all weapons, are known to dual wield. They are able to use a few offensive spells, and spells that confuse their opponents in battle Their stone is the stone of fire, allowing them to master fire spells. Each Element also has its own specialty: Okay the signups: 1: Character Name 2: Race 3: What boost you get from your elementX2: courage, love, bravery etc (don't be afraid to be creative or use something someone else has) 4: Characters job: Soldier, Warrior for hire, farmer, housewife...etc 5: Character Description (try and post a picture to go along with it, but if you can't post a picture be a little more detailed in your description) 6: Biography of you character (Be as detailed as possible) I'm going to be posting once a day. I know everyone can't post that often, but I would like to ask that only people who can post at least 5X a week ( Things come up I know that's why I say 5X incase something comes up It won't be as big a problem once the characters meet but for the first half of the story it could slow everyone else down There is also a sixth race. the orcanians or "orcs". They are an antagonist race and are located within every continent causing trouble and raiding villiages. Any other creature you want to add is fine, if you want dragons, goblins, etc that's fine just add them to the story. Just know they are not part of the "master" races and I would rather them not take to much part in the story [orange] also, if I get all 5 races filled, I do need a couple people to post as the "baddies" PM me if you're interested because there are some "special" circumstances behind them. My Character: Name: Lucien Race: Sapian Elemental boost: Love and Power Job: Pampared Prince Character Description: Kaim Argonar from Lost Odysee Biography: Never having to lift a finger for the first 17 years of his life. Kaim began to yearn for adventure. He began partitioning his fathers bodyguards for lessons on swordplay and marksmanship. He became very keen at both but it still wasn't enough to quell his lust for adventure. At age 18 his oldest brother was killed making him first in line for succession causing his father to end his lessons for fear he would be hurt and unable to lead. Though Kaim is 19 now, his hidden lust for adventure has reached it's peak and he is preparing to run away and leave the capital...

Who hasn't fantasized about being in there favorite anime? Anime is an escape for teens/adults much as children play "cops and robbers" or "power rangers". Fangirls/boys/men/women/people are just people who still hold on to there "inner child" I know I'm not young by the boards standards , 21 to be exact, but I still kick back once in awhile and let myself be absorbed into whatever anime I'm watching. Though I don't pretend I'm flying around like goku, or fighting demons as inuyasha. And there are some anime girls that I think are cute and it's fun to take away the fact that they're fiction and try to picture them as a real girl. I do feel that people who take it too far and really fantasize about a certain character or put themselves in "sexual" situations with this character either have not matured yet (which you really cannot fault them) or do need to seek help in one way shape or form. It can't be healthy to actually get turned on by a fictional character no matter how perfectally proportinate...perfactally drawn....okay gotta run and watch an episode of Full Metal Panic :)

It's not that FFXI was a step back as much as it shouldn't have been included in the FF series. Just like tactics and the crystal chronicles it should have been in it's own special category. I bought it but haven't played it b/c of the internet connection. I think the online game play with final fantasy's name was a good idea. But they should've thought it through a little more. They coulda made a lot more than they did off it.... FFXI creator: "Why make billions when you can make...millions"

I have to say I hate this idea. For years Final Fantasy has been the foremost RPG in circulation (except in Japan I hear Dragon Quest aka. Dragon Warrior is the big thing anybody know if there's any truth in this? I don't mean to assume, I was told it awhile ago) But Final Fantasy was essentially one thing. Hero, Object of affection who is something special for one reason or another, villian with plot to take over world which ends up to be trying to destroy the world. That's almost all final fantasy games to a T. Then came Final Fantasy XI, restricting faithful FF fans in which I can't get internet service where I live. Except dial up which is too slow to play on. So I can't play FFXI I own it, but just because I keep every final fantasy that comes out (In the U.S.A. thank goodness for anthologies) I just feel that FFXI was not a great leap for sony and the final fantasy series but a great step back. Also I realize I failed to mention the other FF titles like FF tactics, FFCrystal Chronicles, and any gameboy title because I dislike those as well but I could make this post 10X longer if I added those and this thread is for FFXI anyways

There are so many games out there it's difficult to choose. I've been trying to expand my horizons as far as the type of games I've been playing but Role Playing still is my fav. Too date FFX or Star Ocean. But with the new Elder Scrolls coming out in about three weeks I'm thinking that's going to quickly become my new favorite.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by [B] sbrebaby[/B] Hi does anyone know anything on swordsmanship for japanese and chinese styles.[/QUOTE] I don't know much about swordsmanship styles. Persoanlly I'm more into medieval Europe when it comes to blades/swordplay. But make sure if he was into the "way of the samurai", and you feel that it was a sort've last wish and feel obligated too, that whatever you do begin your studies with that it is truly japenese. And be prepared to learn more than just swrodplay, you have to learn a whole culture when it comes to samurai. The sword really can't teach you self control, it's everything around it. Also this is just a side note about this. Don't you sort've wish he'd suggested anger management classes instead of learning a very difficult(i'm guessing) style of swordplay.

[CENTER][B]You are hearby invited to the first anime character picnic[B][/CENTER] Where?[/B] North City, Earth [B]When?[/B] Friday, November 11th, 2005 [B]Who[/B] Any an all anime characters who recieve this invitation (No guests) The idea behind this is that a certain select group of anime characters has been given these invitations. The kicker will be the fact that the characters who did not recieve invitations are finding out and letting each other know. So basically the story will be about the characters who did not recieve invitations trying to wreck the picnic. And depending on how many posters we could have a great battle at the end, or possibly a sappy happy ending where theres an apology, a hug, and a few more people joining the party. (Also all characters are going to be essentially equal. Yes you can still use all their powers, but no ones going to have an advantage. I.E. SSJ4 Goku is just as strong as Pikachu, whose just as powerful as vash the stampede) Sign ups- Name: Anime: Just incase you pick a lesser known character Invitation: Just yes you recieve, or no you did not. My sign up. Name: Goku Anime: DBZ Invitation: It's my party so I hope so

I have an odd request for a banner. It's for this website as well as some personal usage. I need a banner of a sledge hammer crossed with a wooden baseball bat. With a Olympic gold medal drapped over it. If you could email it to me if anybody can help me out. [email]wide_reciever_84@hotmail.com[/email] I'd appreciate it.

I tried the internet dating thing back when I was a freshmen in high school. It works out to an extent. But if you're still in high school then you should just let it go and try and find yourself a girlfriend in your high school or a high school close to yours. Just because it's almost impossible to keep a relationship like that going. Once you've graduated and enter into college, or the workplace, you'll have more time/money/and means to see this girl. And as far as hurricane Rita, luckily the damages(to persons and property) were not as extensive as that of Katrina. So there is a good chance she's fine and will be on in a couple weeks. My advice, keep off the internet for awhile, or at least keep off your im's and gradually cool off of this girl.

Qman if you are even trying to tell me that you are a dolphins fan and are happy about Bledsoe??? That is the worst trade in Dolphins history... Newayz too the game, IDK if everybody saw the article on Maddeon 06 in GI but it seems they adopted/stole "the crib" from ESPN. But it's sort've becoming a mansion instead. I resereved and picked up NCAA on the day it came out and was extremly happy with it, so if Madden follows the same path as it normally does it should be great. ESPN2K5 was a really good game...it has its differences in madden, enough so that you can really own both games and play them both.

It's a toss up for me between Tales of Symphonia and Star Ocean. The battle system in star ocean went down him from Star Ocean: The silver story complete (great game and I suggest checking it out for the PSone) But as far as shear story it would have to go to Star Ocean, The ending of Tales of Symphonia was quite possibly the worst ending to an RPG i've ever played. Up until the end it had Star Ocean beat hands down..... My votes for Tales of Symphonia

At the age of 19 Kevin was the leader of the top gang in town. Until his mother, the only one whoever had faith in him, or even loved him, became ill. Seeing her begin to wither away before his very eyes Kevin learned of the Balathor and began searching for it. After learning of it's location and how to get their, Kevin got word his mother passed away. Heartbroken after failing his mother Kevin has dedicated his life to ensure that somebody is able to save someone they love. To redeem his failure 2 years before.

This is sort've off the wall, and probably really belongs someplace else. But since Siren probably figured that out pretty quick. What exactally would be accomplished by a bunch of "gaming clans?" that couldnt already be discussed in one of the other forums? I guess it could be b/c I haven't played (though after I get my new comp I plan on checking out Guild Wars). Just curious to whether or not someone could enlighten me in that aspect.
