Are you a proud anime fan?

10 months 3 weeks ago

"Otaku and proud of it.
I have many anime posters on my wall, and if I had the room, I'd have figurines and such too on display (not to mention I lack the funds to buy such things.)
My desktop wallpapers are always from here.

My harddrives are full of anime too, almost a whole Terabyte of the stuff. I'd say my addiction is pretty bad.
Luckily my addiction has a home here at my college campus, we have an Anime club called Minna no Anime. Its nice for a weekend chill day."

life is a game ?

10 months 3 weeks ago

"I don't know. Life is a pretty damn hard game, then, if you ask me. I wouldn't call life a game, reality is full of consequences that are strict, painful, and plain unfun sometimes. Sure life sometimes has its fun moments too, but I call a game a game because in life there are no do-overs, you have to accept your consequences. Games are temporary and loose, life is permanent and strict."

Have you ever been hit on by someone of the same sex?

"Yes, I have and by god it was the most awkward experience I'd ever have. Now, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with gay men as long as they don't interfere with my own personal well being, but when one crosses the line on the mere assumption of me looking gay just because I'm not all idealistic macho alpha male type, it just gives me chills. I just don't like thinking that some guy wants me in that kind of manner.... ugh. But yeah, as long as gays don't cross in my path, I don't cross in theirs, and activists on all sides make everyone look bad. Lose-lose? Yeah, I'd say so."

Looks or personality?

1 year 8 months ago

"I can't possibly choose one or the other. If a chick looks great and has a terrible personality then there's no way I could ever end up romantically involved with her. Vice versa, if she was emotionally sound and pleasant to be with, but her looks hit you like a bag of hammers in a bad way, then there's no way either. However, I would say the nicer person would be slightly more appealing than the awful person, to me. Personality ranks a little higher in my books over looks for importance, but you still have to look the part or there's no way you're ever getting in my pants, heart, or what be you."

Do you ever dream of being in an anime?

1 year 11 months ago

"I have been turning over this question in my mind for some time,

Do you ever place yourself in an anime in your dreams?

Last night I had a pair of dreams, seemingly linked together. I dreamed I was Zero, and the storyline of Code Geass was taking place in my own hometown of San Jose. The dream started out in a secret love affair between myself and C.C. that we both sternly denied to our fellow comrades. From that affair, everything turned for the worse. We went to the roof of the building that we had made our fortress and looked out upon the city. Half of it was on fire, and spreading quickly. People were running out in the streets, only to have high rise buildings fall down upon helpless victims on the roads. My mind raced through all the different possibilities of what was going on. We all manned up in our knightmare frames and went out searching for answers. A bolt of lightning struck an airplane which then flew into some buildings and started more fires. I could only wonder, why were the forces of Britannia not here to help its conquered subjects. As my rage grew increasingly fierce, the Lancelot appeared. Then I woke up. I wish I could have seen that dream through, it would have been fun.

So, have any of you had dreams where you're placed in the situation of an anime?"

Which side would you choose/ fight for?

1 year 11 months ago

"Suzaku is definately too naive. That being said, I do not support the actions and the abuse of Lelouch. He let himself get out of hand, just like Suzaku's rage is out of hand now. Lelouch admits that hes taken advantage of the Japanese for his own selfish goals and that is just plain unexcusable. I think I'd be very much like Kallen is right now, torn between two sides, Lawful Good and Chaotic Neutral. I would attribute myself to the Chaotic Good alignment. Naturally, Zero's style appeals more to me at first, and at least he feels some remorse for what he has done, but he still is on the brink of becoming pure Chaotic Evil, he has made his intentions clear that he wants bloodshed and turmoil all for his own revenge. I think the only things that are keeping him in check are C.C. and Nanally."

Season 2!

1 year 11 months ago

"I was so shocked by the ending with the double episode. I can't wait for the second season to start. I want to know what happens to Suzaku and Lelouch and Karen. Oh, and I want more C.C. most definately. I wonder where they're going to go with this huge plot twist. The Black Knights, fallen, Britannia in disarray with a bloodied image across the world. A hand full of people know what Zero really is now. I wonder if Lelouch is doomed to become another Mao or if he will somehow be able to regain control of his Geass? Ahaha, I speculate too much, just wait and see I guess.

Oh and I don't know if its just me, but the storyline through Stages 21-25 seem to make me really despise Lelouch and side with Suzaku more. Karen seemed to be the same way, but really unsure of what to do about it."

"I heard adult swim was to be showing Code Geass, but I'm guessing that is going to suck pretty bad. Cartoon Network has gone down hill since the "glory days" of Toonami in the 90s. Outlaw Star was by far my favorite Anime then, along with Bebop and Kenshin. Hell even Sailor Moon was nice to watch right after a tough day at school. All the junk they show now, with the exception of Teen Titans, annoys the crap out of me. RIP Cartoon Network."

TSUBASA~Reservoir Chronicles--for SERIOUS discussion

1 year 11 months ago

"I still think its interesting that Sakura called R!Syaoran "Syaoran" without the -kun (i'm inferring this because she said that at the end of 175, and then her line in 176 to C!Syao), but she still refers to C!Syaoran as Syaoran-kun. Just the suffix can have serious implications, who knows, have to wait for 177."

"Something makes me think that Sakura's opinion of C!Syaoran has changed because of

SPOILER (click to view)

How she called R!Syaoran by just Syaoran without the -kun on the end. She's also protecting him. C!Syaoran is still referred to with the -kun ending. Its making me wonder whats going to happen, with Yukito and Touya's statements about C!Syaoran at the start of the manga.

I Never really did like C!Syaoran, since he was so one dimensional. He had 2 modes, get feather, and protect sakura. Without the half of R!Syaoran's heart, he doesn't even protect Sakura anymore. That makes me think that C!Syaoran never did love Sakura, even though R!Syaoran says that the love isn't his feelings either, his heart protected Sakura, which was his goal, to keep her alive so FWR could not achieve his goal, remember he only needs the body and not the soul. This makes me think that there is more the R!Syaoran+Sakura's relationship than what meets the eye. She has to see something in him that is worth protecting now that the C!Syaoran she knew is gone, and she knows he wasn't real because his heart wasn't his. Somewhere deep down in Sakura, she still doesn't want to see others get hurt, even though she's learned to be a little selfish, maybe she does want to stop C!Syaoran's rampage for the sake of other worlds, shes already proven that her feathers are not priority number 1.

Things to wonder about. The foreshadowing scene of the Glass Tube at the very beginning... which Syaoran will end up in there? What is going to happen with C!Syaoran, will his will-power overthrow his body's memory?"

Besides TPIR, 90s Nickelodeon programing was awesome too, Nick Arcade, Double Dare, and truly inspired Nicktoons were great. Then the Rugrats went to crap and their classic shows all but disappeared with Marc Summers' departure. Nickelodeon isn't even worth watching anymore. Spongebob is plain annoying."

Raised to be an Aston Villa supporter, and you've not faced football violence until you've been at a Villa vs Birmingham City match. There was a huge fight a while back in my home town between the fans of these two teams, and I'm not from Birmingham! Thats just how mental the fans can be...but its not like we're alone, all teams have a rival team, the violence that breaks out beween the fans varies.

This kind of reminds me of an NHL playoff game two years ago where my San Jose Sharks and the opposing Edmonton Oilers fans had an anthem boo-off at their respective stadiums (Edmonton booing the Star Spangled Banner at Rexall Place, and us booing O Canada at HP Pavilion in SJ). The whole fiasco started because the video operatives showed our star forward up on the big screen during the Anthem and the fans booed it. Thanks to them the news outright embarrassed our team and our fans, and violence spilled over into the concourses during intermissions. I heard of several fights happening at both arenas during those playoffs. Well, now I hate Edmonton, and I consider them a rival :)

Getting back to soccer, hey Tottenham got that coach from Sevilla, Juande Ramos. Now maybe they'll actually start winning and showing some spirit unlike how they played under Martin Jol. I don't want my favorite team getting relegated in the 18th spot, no sir. :("

"I also use encryption schemes in my everyday website design and databasing work that I do. It's really important to me that I can encrypt anything I want, and to be quite honest, the Government (in my case, the USA) has no right to take that away from me without due cause. Read the 4th Amendment and you'd understand why alot of people are angry with the USA PATRIOT Act. Same principle applies to restricting encryption, which is a facet of privacy and is an inalienable right because of that."
