I think it can't possibly be at it's worst right now, you're the only person I've heard say anything about it being worse now than before. I can't possibly be worse than season one. But the season where they started grade 4 was my favourite.

... it hasn't actually gotten any worse than it already is.
It's always been this bad. Which really isn't all that bad... it's just strange.
I'll take time to read the rest of the posts later 'cause I gotta jet for a bit, but I completely disagree with that statement. Go look at the first episodes of South Park and tell me that they actually WRITING in them. Regardless of if you like the show or not, the actual show is world's apart from what it used to be. I remember being 11/12 and thinking the show was SO funny because kids swore in it, and I remember taping (TAPING! On VHS TAPES! ... I bet there's members here who don't even know what that means!) it because I'd watch them again. Now? If you put me in an escapeless room with only a TV playing the first episode of South Park I would kill myself and the TV by throwing my head through the glass and breaking the tubes (remember when TVs had tubes?). The old South Park was devoid of anything but dick and ass jokes. Some of the humour now may be considered crude, sure, but it's leaps and bounds more clever than it was then. And the episodes ASR was talking about, i.e. a couple years ago, actually made very valid and intelligent points all the time while still being comedic. I'm not the hugest SP fan or anything, frankly I haven't watched a new one since sometime last year, but to say it's still the same doesn't even border on farce. It's well past the property line. |

He looks like a lame version of The Dude.
And I wouldn't say it looks "absolutely fantastic" but if a real trailer comes out maybe I'll change my mind. Looks aight as is though.

I just watched the Terminator episode from friday. I really really liked it. Just 3 days until the season finale and I can't wait. :-OOO Posted on: 7 April 2009, 19:47:53
Oh yeah, I've been watching this new Batman cartoon. Batman: The Brave And The Bold, not The Batman which I haven't liked (from the little I've seen). I didn't really like the style much at first--it's more like Bruce Timm's illustrative style (which is reminiscent of Jack Kirby's stuff from in the day) than his animation style (Batman The Animated Series, Justice League cartoon, etc.)-- and there's some animation screw ups now and then but it grew on me. I like it 'cause it spotlights generally lesser known characters, if you don't read comics. Although it's weirdly got no actual timeframe. I mean... Speedy, Black Lightning and Metamorpho are still like teenagers or something, yet Jaime Reyes is the current (and my favourite) Blue Beetle. Green Arrow is a lot more like Wally West (The Flash) was in Justice League than he is like the Green Arrow, but I'm fine with that since I don't like Green Arrow at all anyway. Green Lanterns have been in it. Of the Earth GLs I've only seen Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner so far, and it makes sense they wouldn't put in John Stewart since he was all over Justice League (and thus, Justice League Unlimited) and thus already popular with the kiddies. Kyle Raynor was the only Green Lantern to appear in Batman The Animated Series, but that was like ONE time so I'm hoping he shows up in this new show sometime as he's my favourite GL. What's most impressive about the GLs in the show isn't anything they actually do. I just can recognize and even name 90+ percent of the Green Lanterns in the background of episodes with them, which means they're actual characters from the comics. You might say "Wow big #####ing deal Mike" and you could be right but I figure that since they're all established characters in the comic, it means that the designers made full rotations for each one of them in case the show would use one of them as a more important character later on. Usually for stock background characters you only really make like a 3/4 pose for the model sheet and leave it at that. ... Yes I do have to know this kinda ##### for both my animation career and my current job so shaddap and also ##### you I like the cartoons based on comics (sometimes). Anyway it's a cool show and that guy that played Oswald on the Drew Carrey Show, and who was in a season 5 episode of Reno 911! (as a parody of Dog The Bounty Hunter, named Tommy Hawk) and in that Balls Of Fury movie does the voice of Batman. I find that to be awesome. Oh and on a Reno 911! tip, I didn't really like the first episode of the new season much. ... Yeah. I really can't say that about any other episode of the show. |

I actually did read Iron Man for a while, but it was during one of it's sucky streaks and I was getting a decent Stark fix in other books anyway. He can live with his heart. His heart is fine. Your statement was wrong. Worst statement ever.
That's not the worst statement ever. You're not the authority on bad statements. I've said worst statements in my sleep. YOU DON'T KNOW.
The whole point of this is that electromagnet reactors often make better mantel ornaments than hearts, though if the heart was in a jar it would be far better. But it would depend on the fluid in the jar as well.
Fair 'nuff. |

From playing the demos (for 1 and 2) myself and from what I've heard it's only OK. What they're going for is pretty good and you can see what they're trying to do in the controls, but there's a whole big something that's missing.
And I'm not at all a fan of the camera even though you kind of get used to it.
Apparently walking anywhere (which you can only do in Skate 2) is actually pretty #####ty, and moving objects is stupid because all of a sudden you're superhuman and can just launch whole dumpsters around. Which is ridiculous considering the game focuses on being realistic.
Just get the demos first. And then if you still want to play it... Rent it.

*pushes up his taped glasses* Uhm actually Stark's heart is working, the arc reactor powers the electromagnet of the regulator which only serves to keep the shrapnel out of it so in a sense his heart is actually fine. *gross nerd sniffle* I actually kind of like that. But I'd never wear it.
And not JUST because it isn't green!
Yah right! Go get a Green Goblin shirt! |

I went as Iron Obaman, a Tony-Stark-wearing-the-mask and Obama costume all in one. I have never seen a good Iron Man shirt and I'm not so sure I ever will. Even when they do red shirt with the diamond-shaped heart regulator. This is the closest I'll get to seeing a good IM shirt, and I actually don't like this at all;  There's a version that is just the white parts that glow in the dark but that's even worse. |

I have a completely unbroken original original original grey DS, and I never got a DSLite though I wanted it's sleekness, but I'll probably get a DSi in ADDITION to my DS anyway. My mum has started regularly using the DS anyway. I'm gonna get the GTA game for DS when I'm done my finals (week and a half or so). It's amazing.
But how do you feel about Majora's Mask? Because I think it's awful. Sad that a bonus mode is more fun than the main game...

I only had the start and small plans for the main answers I thought would come up. I'm surprised no one said they'd ##### the farmer's wife (at least in time for me to reply). The only reason I did that was because I figured taking too long to reply would make the other person leave. The second last one was PRICELESS.
God, it was so hilarious.

I've also wanted to get that one Iron Man T-shirt with the chest armor piece. Silver Snail didn't have it to my dismay, but some old, run down comic store in a mall I'm really close to has it. I'll be picking that up soon.
We had/have it. It's ugly as all. I don't wear my GL shirts often. I mean, one I JUST bought and have worn once, and the other is trying to die and I'm not gonna let that happen since it's way better than any GL shirt I've ever seen and it's the only one of it's kind I've ever seen. I don't really have other comic shirts other than free stuff we get at the store for movies (which I only wear under things pretty much) so it's OK. I do have a black shirt with a white star in the middle (that I made), which I guess is kind of Captain America-like. But not really, it's not blue. Some images of Isaiah Bradley (the Black Captain America) show him wearing something close to black, but I think it's really just navy... ... but I digress... |

Stranger: I realize that penguins don't live in the arctic and hit the woman, who is undoubtedly conspiring against me with the farmer and the penguin, with the pipe.
You: You are now attached (frozen) to the length of pipe. The farmer married a goat. The farmer's wife is a goat. You have killed the goat and now have a dead goat and 37 mandarin oranges.
You: While it is true penguins live in antarctica, this one continues to slowly approach.
Stranger: I drink some warm warm goat's blood and go towards the penguin, but past it, following the tracks it left in the snow.
Stranger: It had to come from somewhere where they would have the means to keep a penguin alive in the arctic
You: Leaving the penguin alone was a good idea, as it is actually chupacabra using a mystic glamour obtained in 1232 by Amelia Airhart's band of time travelling pilots and passed onto to the chupacabra when it ate Amelia in the distant future of the year 2000. It doesn't show you it's true nature however, as you have ignored it. You follow it's tracks back to a small cave.

Stranger: I wake up as a 12 year old boy who was in a coma for 3 months due to a little league related injury. My parents are ecstatic. My mom hugs me and my dad asks if I want to go fishing tomorrow. I say yes.
You: You go fishing tomorrow. On the way a cloverfield monster attacks your boat. Your father fights it with a trident but is swallowed whole while killing it. The monster is dead with it's mouth open, there is a chance your father is alive. What do you do?
Stranger: I let him soak in its digestive juices. He deserves to suffer after making me sign up for little league when all I really wanted to do was join chess club. I row the boat to shore and pretend to be shocked that my father is dead. Really I am going to enjoy the money his life insurance provides my household. This is an economic crisis. Someone needs to get laid off, and it ain't me. I wanna go to med school.
You: You go to attempt your MSATs at the age of 13. You want to be Neil Patrick Harris. However, you have forgotten a number 2 pencil. What do you do?
Stranger: I ask the testing director if they have a spare pencil
You: The testing director offers you his pencil. It is a regulation number 2 pencil and perfectly useable except ew gross yuck barf it has all sorts of bite marks all over it and the testing directed looks like he might have the oral herpes virus. You feel alright in diagnosing this since you're already PRACTICALLY a doctor, right? Right. What do you do?
Stranger: I, unconcerned with anything other than being an MD, deal with it. I can always cure herpes later.
You: You use the pencil and don't get herpes anyway. Maybe a bit of hep C, but not herpes so whatever. I'm not gonna lie, no one has gotten past the penguin before, so I'll just let you decide if you pass the MSATs.
Stranger: I can achieve anything I want. And I want to pass the MSATs, so I do.
You: You pass the MSATs and are now the youngest doctor ON THE PLANET MARS.
You: Ooo weee ooo Twilight Zone.
Stranger: I eat astronaut ice cream and I am currently writing a manual on what to do if you are injured while climbing Olympus Mons.
Stranger: I also have AIDS from sleeping with too many three boobed hookers from total recall. But its Space AIDS, so it makes me stronger.
You: The astronaut ice cream is delicious, but not SO delicious that it should really be called "astronaut ice cream". It's really just OK ice cream and you expected more from Space Ben and Space Jerry. This is driving you mad, as evidenced in your manual which has become somewhat of a dispassionate journal. Your handwriting is degrading into chicken scratch and you are becoming more paranoid. That said, you could really go for another 3 boobed hooker (but who couldn't, am I right? Am I right?)

Holy crap.
That show sounds complex.
It's not. Well maybe it is now, since there's at least 2 different time frames happening, but before this season not so much. It's really a lot easier to pick up from nothing than the hardcore fans want to admit. I was able to start predicting stuff within watching 3 episodes near the end of season 3 without having watched anything before that. I mainly attribute this to the fact that while a lot of things SEEM to happen in every episode, nothing REALLY happens. That is; Anything that's truly important only happens once in a while or over the course of multiple episodes, even though a lot of things pretend to be important but end up not really holding weight. It takes more than a single episode for anything to develop (they favour the start and end of an episode with the :-O bits and kind of explain things in the middle) and takes barely any time to catch up on anything. The only thing you'll miss is characters reappearing (like earlier), since you can tell when something that already happened is being referenced anyway. It took me less time to get up to speed in than House. SPEAKING OF WHICH, House tonight. :-OOO |

I've only really heard good things about Kung-Fu Panda, but I haven't seen it. Everything I hear about animated movies generally comes from animators so our view is different from yours. Maybe Kung-Fu Panda is just well made. I'm gonna watch it eventually though because the game for it came with my XBox.
And yeah that is just like Dreamworks, even if they do make some good stuff now and then. I'm really tired of 3D animated talking animal movies though. REALLY tired.
