Posted on 10-23-05 10:09 AM, in Now time to state the obvious: I don't understand people! Link
Okay....

Shy, if I really did have to point to one particular thing about you that seems very, very off-putting, above all else, it'd be either your use of exclamation points in your style of writ that gives reason to believe you're way too excited about something, or your header and signature in your most common layout. In doing so I refer to your commentary about what you perceive to be your social status on the board in both sides of the post. We, to use your initial post as an example, don't need to be informed that you're "going back to your roots, but that's not you anymore". The reason? I don't know you well enough to take anything you say as a deep and meaningful part of your character, therefore the sight of such a statement on every one of your posts until you change it leads me to believe you are pressing an idea onto me that I simply can't understand.

Actions speak louder than words. I realize that in a message board setting that makes no sense at all, but in a way it can be applied. What I mean is that you don't have to say you're gonna do anything before you do it, just do it. You wanna start having better grammar, or being silent and waiting for an opportunity to say something important, just do it. Telling people that you're going to is the same as interjecting with something stupid at an inapporpriate time, because describing your actions is always less appropriate than executing them.

Similarly, don't try to be funny all the time, try to be intelligent, or understanding, and not set yourself up to be an instant personality. Don't show yourself to people, let people get to know you instead. A good example is the way you write your journal. It's understandable, concise, and you don't go out of your way to try to be funny when it's not necessary. That's more "you" than anything else. If you feel the need to be heard, bring that style here. It's a lot more personable than what you've been showing.

As for real life, if you're a loner than so be it. It's a lot more mentally healthy to be alone and not care about what people think about you than it is to be surrounded by people that you're afraid to look stupid or "wrong" in front of. I gotta go with Dracoon here, stick with the friends you have. And don't be afraid to look stupid. And don't wear tight pants. Unless, like, you think they're comfy.

I dunno, Reel Big Fish did a good job with Take On Me, in my opinion. I really like ska, and RBF's loud, rowdy-but-controlled style appeals to me, especially in songs like Take On Me, The Average Man, and Dateless Losers. I used to hate them, I've always been more of a Catch 22 boy, but surprisingly they're starting to either become better, or I think I understand the style more.

Posted on 10-23-05 11:12 AM, in Megaman vs Samus: A fair "vs" thread Link
I don't know.

And Clockworkz, you forgot the Crystal Flash.

Let's break it down. X would most definitely kick Samus' ass. Firstoff, he's got auto-repair systems up the wazoo, and since he's a reploid, his ability to integrate new data on a target is amped to the point where he can analyze every one of Samus' bag of tricks. The X-buster mkXXI (I think that's what Light called it) is one of the most advanced energy weapons in the world. Considering it's STILL, after eight and a half games, the most effective weapon for taking out a constantly upgrading series of Mavericks and ever-thicker shells of robot body armor, it's definitely gonna do something to ancient Chozo technology. Not to mention the whole "Zero's Beam Sabre can cut through just about anything" part. The fully charged X Buster just gets bigger and bigger each time it's upgraded, and with the dash boots, the protective armor, and the head sensors that X gets even in the first few X games, you can bet he's a powerhouse. Missiles? Whomever has the audacity to say that Samus wins simply because she has missiles needs to recheck their X logic, since he gets some kind of homing missile in nearly every X game. I'd say X wins, and if he doesn't, then Zero and Axl can still come along and finish the job for him.

But then, we're not talking about X here. We're talking about Megaman, who will just end up getting rocked with the hurricane fury of Samus Aran's mighty awesomeness, and go home crying.

Posted on 10-24-05 08:31 AM, in The Journey to Sandsalot (Part 4: Absolution) Link
Janus: "You could make me half lead, half man and your reason would still never lead to method... If you or your cronies even think about touching her again, I'll catch your bullets in my teeth and spit them back into your hearts."

Not wanting to risk any further conflict, Janus completely disregarded the law and dropped the officer roughly into the sand. He shouldered his bag and dashed off in the sun, quickly catching up to Yiusi and taking hold of her hand. Running like a hedgehog, he carried her in his arms to the inner city, where a growing crowd was (as is par for the course) gathering around the ruined temple. Janus couldn't believe his eyes...

It wasn't so much a temple as it was an entire cathedral. Again, another place he had heard about over the years. It was surprising that he hadn't remembered Pentalipse before... This was the location of one of the largest Oracle Temples in the country. It was able to be built because the city was so affluent. The rare plants that grew out in the city allowed incredible advances in medicinal technology to be made. On the other hand, with the coming of technological advance would naturally come spiritual advances... The Oracle Temple was made ever more constructive and lavish in celebration of the fusion of science and nature that had occured in Pentalipse when the moisture refinery had been constructed. People saw it as a miracle from the Aether, and believed ever harder in the power of the world and the Life Aspects. Unlike Sandsalot, groups of people were kneeling on the ground and weeping, praying to the Oracles and the Ethereal spirits that somehow, some sense of closure could be achieved from this disaster. Janus set her down near the rubble, and several of the monks who had gathered around the ruins stared at her, and their eyes turned dewy, as though their salvation had come.

They waited, expectantly...

Grey: "Huh. I'm not about to have my groove thrown off by any bad dudes in here..."

He throws his Slip'n'Slide into the air and shudders a bit as it showers him in gooey residue, then sinks into his skin. Evasion up? Eeeeeew.

"Yuck, this stuff smells kinda funny... But it tastes like butter."

He slip'n'slides his way over to Square 11...

Woo yeah Break Down! One of my favorite 9 footers, and the second one I actually passed. First was Can't Stop Fallin' In Love Speed Mix. Can you do that one, EE?

Hehe, with the rate you're going at I almost feel like I'm competing with you to get more 9s under my belt...

Posted on 10-24-05 07:14 PM, in Round 6! Kirbynite vs Sion! Link
Grey: "*blows the whistle* FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

Just before Sion could connect with his kick, Grey snapped his fingers, and both Kirby and Sion were stopped in mid-movement.

"Okay, okay, that's enough. The round's been over for four days now, and I don't know where the hell Sam is... I'll end this myself. Round's over. Final posts, people..."

He snapped his fingers again, and Sion unfroze, forced somehow back into a standing position. All the effort he had expended, however, was still saved within him. The two combatants had one post left. They'd better make it a good one, Grey thought...

*chick-click*

The sound of a gun cocking hit Janus' ears...

*chick-click*

Another gun... A chorus of them were picked up by Janus' well-tuned senses.

Satchel: "Hey, chief, you wanna do something about all of this? Maybe...."

Janus: "Relax, Satchel. I've got this one covered... I don't like the idea of what might be happening here, but I'm ready to take care of it. We can't let Yiusi know how much danger she's in right now."


As he finished his telepathic conversation, Janus' look changed from one of alert resignation to quiet confidence.

"Simple, Milady. Just show them the power, the Oracles are here to get them through this. Make sure, though, that you let them know that you're on your way out, and can't stay for fear of another temple being smashed. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to concentrate on something. Keep them busy!"

Janus closed his eyes... This was gonna be tough, but if he did it right, it'd get rid of all of this trouble and nobody would be hurt at all. He began to glow a dull blue color, almost unnoticeable to the naked eye, and undetectable except by someone with glasses of the magnitude of Agent Blue's... It wasn't ether.

It ain't... Not when Janus stops concentrating and focuses on an instant. Rather, the second the guns start firing, he stops time...

The bullets stopped. Janus watched them slow to a halt in the air, and could feel the waves of displaced atmosphere coming from them.

Rijju and SP-Criish stopped. Rijju's plasmatic skin came to look like a spiked ball of still energy as he too was frozen in time. SP-Criish simply took on the appearance of an archaic suit of armor...

The monks stopped. Some of them were in the middle of worshipping Yiusi, leaving them in rather amusing positions that Janus really shouldn't have laughed at, but he did.

The Yiusi Ball stopped. It looked like a baseball that had just been hit by a home-run slugger as it prepared to deflect an oncoming bullet. The bullet that would come next, however, would not be able to be deflected. It was a good thing that Janus had stopped time now, or Yiusi would have had a few ventilation holes to deal with.

Yiusi didn't stop. Janus could see her quivering in fear, and he imagined she'd probably be very disoriented, since her physical body was freed, but half of her spirit was still frozen in time (i.e. the Yiusi Ball).

His hand lay on her shoulder. He came a little closer to her, and put his arm around her, trying to get her to stop concentrating on something that she really didn't have much control over anymore. The silence was actually kind of eerie. Janus' voice echoed as he spoke...


Janus: "Hey, hey... You alright? Relax. We've got plenty of time..."
