After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

World of Warcraft good or bad for you

As for PvPing oh yes you do need the dpad to run around and pretend your avoiding the projectile that automatically targeting you and following you. Sure there are classes that requires some other movement but come on watching pvp on 2 melee classes doing jumps in order to confuse the opponent when jumping does nothing more than just that confuse the other guy while damage still ticking off your char.

I believe you are also aware that when someone is behind you:
-You can't hit him.
-You can't cast at him.
-You can't parry/dodge/block.

So i believe there is actually some use in trying to confuse the enemy and go on the freaking back!

I dont like wow for some reason I mean at first it was ok cool but there something about their fighting and interaction system that kinda gets boring for me. I cant even stand the traditional I stand here and push skill 1,2,3,4,5,6 move on rinse and repeat.

You are aware of the Player-versus-Player action that is going on in that game,right?
Not really a 1,2,3 rinse and repeat there to be honest..."

World of Warcraft good or bad for you

4 months 7 hours ago

"Something basic about any game is that you never get to the point where the game "plays" you and not you playing the game if you know what i mean.

As an ex-WoW player i can say WoW was quite addictive and took quite some effort to quit it for good. I got to a point where i had to raid instead of going for a drink or coffee so one day i asked myself a question: "Do i want to do this? Do i want to play WoW while my friends are calling me for beers and stuff?

Now that is the point where you partially quit and become a casual player, still making it to some raids and stuff but you are still not satisfied, and this time it is worser, you are then also not satisfied with the game because you dont spend enough time for it. That is the point where you either quit for good and live aa healthy life with friends and all or get back in it and go hardcore until something new happens in real life and makes you wonder again...

Good or bad? Anything can be good if you don't get too much into it. Gaming is good and it is most likely needed by most of us but all must be taken into moderation..."

I think that ignoring other peoples opinions is wrong, everyone should have the right to have a opinion of there own so that we can discuss them and find out that everyone is different.

I partially agree to that. I do believe that ignoring others opinions is wrong the actual reason I see is that by talking with other people you gain expiriences that else you would have to live for yourself. So, one possitive thing from sharing expiriences is learning from your friends' mistakes and not do the same ;)



Drusila
I have been a person which liked to care for people even though I didn't really knew them, opening doors and helping people with stuff even though I didn't know them was fun I thought. But lately humans have become so ungrateful when I open a door for a old woman which has a hard time walking she walks through the door ignoring me totally and after that people just continues to run through the door so that I can't let go of it because I don't want to hurt anyone. Suddenly I have gotten the job of holding the door for everyone and no one thank me instead if I try to let go of the door they look angrily at me.

I know exactly what you mean.

I used to be the exact same type of guy, being polite and stuff. But lately all i see around me is greed and ungreatfullness from others around me. So i stopped carring about most of them and kept going with my life. I do help old men and women when i see them though because i know they apriciate that and they show it with a smile and a big "thanks son" which makes me happy and boosts my self esteem.
Feeling a better person is a great thing, dont be afraid to open the door for the ones you know will apriciate it..."

Welcome to reality and it's something you can accept or ignore.

Don't forget that critisism is also a part of reality and you face it at least once a day in your everyday life. Exchanging opinions on matters and problems is not wrong, on the other hand it actually helps the individual improve and be more aware of some situations, even if the conversation leads nowhere that is also an expirience talking with a guy of diferent interests.
Reality is hard to describe to be honest because everybody thinks of reality as something partially different than another does.



Loftydreamer
Now for my two cents on the matter. The community is a bit melodramatic with their love of anime. Most people still have very active lives, but the anonymity of the internet facilitates the ease of communication. As such in the generation we are living, communicating in person is becoming less and less necessary.

I am well aware of the corrupted world where modern people, myself included, are born and raised. Now it is a real matter of the way one is raised on how much he will be affected by the propaganda of the modern world, making them adapt materialism and all the fake needs the media are trying to impose to the modern individual. If the parents are aware enough to raise a well aware child then it is more likely that the child itself will, in the futute, turn all those addictions and fake needs down leading to him being a better and more aware person.

Why do i say all that? If everyone was raised in a healthy environment the whole internet would be different just because people would have actual reasons to talk with others, ask things, share expiriences, help others. Not causing drama in forums, not trolling, nor going all offensive using all explicit words they know to make somebody feel bad so they feel superior.



Loftydreamer
You didn't fully read his comment. He finds anime important enough, that he would prefer someone who could share in his love of anime or at the very least condone his hobby. He, like most everyone, wishes for a partner that enjoys or respects the aspects that define him and do not wish to change them. I believe anyone can get behind that.

I did actually take the time to read the whole comment at the very first time. What i didn't understand was why would anime be an obstacle to a date with a friendly, nice girl? Doesn't have to be his girlfriend or something. Self-development says that each time you aproach a girl and talk to her, you become one time better at it. So, aproaching girls just to chit-chat and actually train yourself on being more and more self confident when doing it is worth wasting some time of your anime.

Now, if we are talking about a girlfriend... Me and my girlfriend have somewhat diferent interests and tastes but this is exactly the magic in the whole "couple" situation, you see what she likes, she sees what you like, you do what she likes to do, she does what you like to do. Asking for a girl who likes anime,as an anime-lover is selfish and to me it doesn't really seem you want a girlfriend or that you are ready to sacrifice some of your anime for your girlfriend. That is what a relationship is all about, sacrifices and finally getting along together with a common solution...



Drusila
WHY can't there be bad, negative, not positive things about anime, manga and Japan? Maybe this new trend of liking this kind of things has gone to far. It isn't about just liking a cartoon anymore now it is something holy which you can't bad mouth because then you will be hanged.

Team supporter beats an opposing supporter to death for mouthing at him about his team.

Do you know why this happens? Human nature. Lets say you are my friend, and someone walks up to me and starts telling me some negative things about you, a natural reaction would be me mocking him or swearing at him for the things he says.
Did you see what happened in that situation? I didn't care if the stuff the other guy told me were true or not, maybe i didn't even think about it, i just reacted because the target of hate was something i know and like... We fight about MMOs, we fight about teams, drinks, parking slots, queues..."

I said that I don't need society. I didn't say I don't have any friends and I didn't say that I act in such a way as to drive everyone away from me. Though there are times when I'm tired...

Now you speak clear. The way you first posted it, it seemed to me like you are a guy stuck on a chair watching anime and playing video games all day long with no other interests(that is what you wrote, go check it out).
But now that you clear it out your situation seems to be pretty much every kid's from 15 to 18. Focus on the one thing that makes you happy for the moment and spend less time on the others.

So i think i owe you an apology for being offensive as you owe me one for not being clear enough. Discussion is about closed by my part."

"I am clearly not trying to change anybody's beliefs.

My point here is to show how destructive a lifestyle like that be to the individual himself. I have been leading a destructive lifestyle for the past 3 years playing World of Warcraft. The consequenses of doing so have lead to my friends walking away one by one, lossing interest to me after asking numerous times for me to go out with the which i didn't cause i "HAD TO RAID". All this made me realise that if i kept going like that i would end up having no friends and that i would be left with a game that would propably shut down some day and then i would be ALONE.

What did i do? I asked for help. I discussed it with my parents, my girlfriend and some of my best friends who were still there. At that time i had also joined IPower, which i have to say has helped alot as a community giving very nice suggestions and opinions about the matter. Then one day i just stoped playing WoW and uninstalled it so i never get into the temptation of buying a pre-paid card again.

Now SWhisssper, i don't know if you have some kind of complex or problem that led you to that lifestyle but it seemed really wierd at first. If it just a personal choise of lifestyle i will have to accept it for sure. But if it derives from something else you can always talk about it on the internet and there are great communities to talk about such stuff. Due to the anonimmity no one will ever know who that person is who had that problem...

acidtreat101, why would the girl you are dating have to be an anime lover as well? You could make a scedule and give her some hours of your day, she doesnt have to be with you the whole day or something. Don't be afraid to open yourself up to women, most of them are really understandable with such things."

it is a fact that what I do all day every day is play games, watch anime and read a book or some manga, along with vital actions, as toilet, eating and sleeping, and that's it.

This didn't make me feel that bad, first thing that crossed my mind was "Ok, he may be having a hard time, everybody neeeds their time now and then, relax, get out of their system and such". but then i read this.


SWhisssper
Undesired by society? Certainly. But I don't desire it myself, so I don't care.

My question is: Do you REALLY mean this?
You got no friends? Nothing?
Cutting yourself from the society and rejecting everyone who is trying to get close to you is refered to as depression. Do you really believe that this will lead anywhere in your life? What are your plans for the future?"

at 17 i don't think people are really tht mature to understand a lot of things
even if they feel like they know the universe inside out.
i know i did.
I know better now.

A few years can really make a lot of difference

I can tell you what period in one's life makes a big diference and shapes his personallity in a great deal. Univesity.

You go to a new place, meet new people, get to study something partially or completely new. You are getting pushed by several points:
-Pass as many classes as possible.
-Get to know as many people as possible.
-Try to get those people to like you more and more.
All this presure, if all you care about in the world is anime, i give it two months until you are back to your hometown getting shouted out by parents and everyone for not being responsible.

As i said in previous threads, life is based on communication and communities themselves. The bigger the community you build, the more you communicate. The more you communicate, the more you build up your social skills. At the end you will realise how easy and nice it is to meet new people, get to know their stories, even learn things from them.

Interacting with the community is a great thing. Don't miss it for 4 more hours of anime."

Well, is it wrong for 17+ to watch anime?

I never said it is wrong to watch anime at any age. Rejecting everything else in your life for anime is REALLY wrong though.

If your high purpose of life is to watch anime and read manga while people DO like you and DO ask you out you actually have problems really. Hardcore gamers turn anti-social as well but they go out every now and then.

I was an anime addict in the past but it didn't last longer than 2 months. I just deleted all my anime and kept on living my life. I clearly don't say that they shouldn't watch anime on their free time, but making it a life plan is plain madness..."

What are those people thinking? I have checked their ages and they are all 17+. So what would the problem be that someone turns to anime so badly that he ignores everyone and everything exept anime?.."

Ignorance is bliss.

I myself used to be a hardcore gamer. A hardcore gamer is person pretty anti-social, arogant and ignorant.

I was lucky enough to have someone who showed me the way out of that mess. I know how hard it is to leave that "perfect" world you live in but there are things out there but need to expirience.

My girlfriend was the one who pulled the question after 2 months of patience and understanding. "Me or the games?". THEN i realised that all that was a fake world of limited satisfaction and i went like "WTF am i doing?".

I had a girlfriend and i didnt go out with her, isn't that stupid? I don't mean that you can't have good times in games and anime but the fake feeling of superiority will fade when you are finally forced to go out ot the society.

Thanks to my girlfriend i am now as social as possible, having no complexes and scrubles about myself or waling up to a stranger and talking to them.

What i think you need is a good friend, one of the opossite gender would be the best, they have their ways of making you realise how special you really are. Then you will realise that you don't need all that fake stuff to fill up your ego and feel superior.
Self-Development gets you far. You can change the whole world but first you need to change yourself."

I dont care about anything or anyone except anime

Now this is sad. How is it even possible to have anime not only as your prior hobby but as your only hobby in your life?...

Goship! Do that! You are a person and a person's nature is to goship about things that happen in their community. Ignoring your "friends" makes them care less and less about telling you the goship and one day you will realise they wont be refering to you anymore. Then will be the day when you will realise that you are alone. Being alone sucks and it is never someone else's fault, it is yours and only yours. You get to pick your friends and enemies in this life, if you place everyone in the latter group you will end up having a miserable life.


yoselin12
ignoring is the best method to avoid things you dont care about :O

Ignoring people in the way you mean it is just and easy way to fake your willingness to fight about your interests. Go there and voice your opinion or you will end up in that cyrcle of goship and it is not really great to get talked about..."

Mac or PC

4 months 1 week ago

"In my opinion it is all a matter of common belief and compatibility that makes you use the one or the other. It all starts from how and why you made your first aproach to a Mac or a PC. It is most likely that you will stick to the one you met first because it will subconciously stick into your mind that it is easier to operate and such.

So wether you use a PC or Mac is all based on the community you grew up in and what is supposed to be the default device there.

Ofc i dont ignore the fact that some poeple wether want to differ or just like the other solution better for some reasons. So, you also got those people who just dont stick to what the community widely believes."

Why were you attracted to AP?

4 months 1 week ago

"When you first enter a community like Animepaper the main reason is ending up in there by googling wallpapers for your desktop. At least this was the reason I got myself in here. Then you start looking for more and more wallpapers, get to know good people, skilled wallers.

Then comes the addiction to the community. Now this is the hardest part and for me it is the most addicting, whenever i say i quit i always come back in the end. It is the people that keep you here. The relationship you have built and you dont want to let go to waste.

Other people on the other hand are here to administrate and take care of the site, make sure everything works just fine.

Now the conclusion is that depending on one's character everyone has a diferent reason for being in the site, wether that is attention, fame, will to contribute, friends, whatever fits one's personallity."
