  1. I've played several FPSs in my time. COD, BF, Titanfall and several others.


     


    Out of all those, Battlefield 3 will always be the one I consider the best for several reasons. Were it not for the bugs and setbacks, Battlefield 4 would take the cake, but the change in controls + the things I've mentioned have kept me away. Had Battlefield 3 been built with the Frostbite 3 engine, it would've set records, I think. Well I wouldn't know but....


  2. Okay now you've got me excited

     

    Can you give me a specific date, few days to me is like 4 or 5 days

    It's set to premiere on April 5.

    I have 4 anime to rundown. First off: Witch Craft Works

    What a surprising anime this was. The reversed roles of prince and damsel-in-distress was something I didn't expect but I warmed up to it. I loved all the characters. Each one had their charm. Tanpopo's voice killed me everytime. The opening and ending were great. I liked it. My only complaint is that Chronoire and Kazane's fight was too short. It could've been nice, although it did caught me off guard when I finally realized what she meant when her favorite meals were powerful witches. I'd definitely watch another season of this series. 9/10

    Kill la Kill

    Oh my me. Rarely does an anime have me at the edge of my seat. Sure, there are episodes within anime that do the same but for an entire season to do so? That's rare for me. This anime did that. To take something as simple as clothing and twist it to make a story out of it. Crazy stuff. What else can I say. If you watch it, you'll definitely love it. Truly one for the history books and it definitely serves as a spiritual successor to Gurren Lagann. 10/10

    No-Rin

    The funny comedic one. That's all I'm saying. If you watch it you'll laugh your butt off. I just wish there could've been more expansion to the romance. Maybe some jealousy and all those risque moments you see in other anime. Also, Becky-sensei was a bit......too much. 8/10

    Mahou Sensou

    Oh wow. To be honest, I have no clue what to say about this anime. I knew that the anime deviated greatly from the light novels but this much was toooo much. First off, animation: wat.

    When you see the opening with Eterna spinning around in an awkward way, you know something's going to go south. Song choice was meh. Animation wasn't bad but there were scenes that made me cringe. The last minute quality on the final episode was......ugh. The same was done with No-Rin but that was nothing compared to here.

    Voice acting: i got nothing to say here. All the VAs did a marvelous job. Gekkou's voice annoyed me, but that's when I realized that he has the same voice actor as Accelerator.

    Plot: plot? What is that? Is that a topping you put on toast? Or a horse's--

    The story.....there is no story. It starts off with one thing then goes to another and another without bringing closure to anything. I stood by the anime for the characters, to see what happened between them all. There were so many things left unanswered before the final episode killed it all. Get this(and this is a spoiler): TIME TRAVEL, TIME F*CKING TRAVEL. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! The whole final battle between the G.T and W.B, not to mention the whole concept of MAGIC, MAGIC WARS and all that crap was laughable. It....just...I just.....what?!?

    There are so many plot holes in the story but my rant ends here....

    Madhouse is a power in the animation/vfx industry, in this case its animation. Its works have placed it among the the top tier of studios, a list spearheaded by ILM. Every studio has its goods and bads. Here we have an example of one of those bads. I was expecting a bit more from this series, considering it was Madhouse. I mean, they're the guys who brought us Summer Wars. That film was rocking awesome!! Sadly, that didn't come to pass. 1/10

  3. Just read chapter 666 (weird. Mark of the beast, XP). I gotta say I know they were on a time sensitive moment with Naruto and Sasuke dying but do they really have to bring them back so quickly. We always have to wait like twenty chapter to see if people like Kakashi or Hinata made it out alright but no Naruto gets to come back after only six chapters. I know he's the main character but I would have liked an epic battle to get Minato's Kurama to Naruto rather than just some quick trick with Kamui to save Naruto. So many ninjas could have banded together and an awesome fight but no. Naruto's back. Well at least we'll finally get to see the eight gates, right?!

     

     

    Gai should just use 8 gates already. It's not like kishi will keep him dead for long. And Sasuke will be getting an upgrade soon..

     

     

    I kind of don't want Gai to die though. Imagine Rock without Gai there. Would be a downer. Also it's not like they can be brought back to life now. Obito already used (whatever the jutsu is called) to bring Madara back to life and I thought it could only be done once or something like that. Also Obito will most likely die when Zetsu leaves his body.

     

    Your questions have been answered:

    I want to say: THERE GOES ANOTHER ONE, but I don't think it'll go that way, at least not yet.

    Gai's transformation looks sick though!

    I found this week's chapter to be much more exciting than I originally thought. I hate the cliffhanger though, who the heck is that?


     


    I also noticed how the cloak manifests differently for each Juubi's jinchuriki. Maybe it's because for Madara, the Juubi was complete whereas for Obito it only contained fragments of Kurama and Gyuki.


     


    I'll be quiet now and let you guys read it if you haven't.


  5. I've tried out COD: Ghosts and I find it to be allright. It's more....limited than Battlefield and there's a greater emphasis on teamwork, which is something you see less in Battlefield. I attribute this to Battlefield's immersive ness. By this I mean there's just so much more you can do in Battlefield multiplayer in contrast to COD. Tanks, choppers, jets, all that good stuff. One can get carried away. And while I'm partial to the Battlefield series because of this, I think COD is just as good, although I'm only playing Battlefield 3 right now. I bought Battlefield 4 + Premium for $100. With the broken mess it is right now, I'm starting to regret that purchase.


     


    By carried away, I mean that a person on a jet, chopper, tank, etc. can get so immersed in killing infantry that they forget about the objectives. While this works in favor of the team infantry, it doesn't work all the time. Being on a jet killing people on the ground is meaningless when all the flags are captured and we are losing tickets fast. In smaller, more confined places like Metro, if people focus on one place only, like the sidestairs without defending the other places, the enemy passes through easily and takes the last objective. The same goes when said enemy is too focused on one place and the others are empty but no one goes through them because they are so focused on supressing the enemy. There's just not enough coordination in some of these rounds. I said some, not all, because I've played some rounds where the teamwork was absurdly great.


  6. Holy jeez you guys have some serious backlogs. Hardcore gaming FTW!!!


     


     


     


    As for me, Battlefield 4 and DIRT 3. I haven't touched BF4 in quite some time. The bugs have kept me away. I'm sticking to Battlefield 3 for the moment. As for DIRT 3, I lost interest, but it'll come back soon enough.


  7. Madara is looking beastly the last few chapters but he really needs to start killing off people and now.

    Your wish just got granted.

    http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/662

    I won't post the previous chapters because I assume most of you have read them already.

    So......... now what?

    How will this end? And why the hell did Trollmoto end with such a suspenseful cliffhanger?

    I don't know...lol. But I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

  8. Oof. There are some good ones coming this year that I want to see:


     


    Let's see here:


     


    Pompeii


    300: Rise of an Empire


    Need for Speed


    Captain America: The Winter Soldier


    Rio 2 (only because I promised my imouto that I would take her)


    The Amazing Spider-Man 2


    GodZilla


    Transformers: Age of Extinction


    The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1


    The Hobbit: There and Back Again


     


    Hopefully I'll be able to see all of them. If not, I'll just get the Blu-rays and watch them on my living room.


  9. So within the last half year I got myself a nice decent computer from HP with a suitable graphics card to boot.


     


     


    I've been playing BF3 and NFS: Most Wanted on my laptop.... almost miraculously.


     


    Now with my new pc I've been playing:

    Need for Speed: Most Wanted


    Need for Speed: Rivals

  10. I posted this up on my DeviantArt Journal a while back but I've never mentioned it here.


     


    Last summer, around July, I went through depression. It was the first time I ever felt something of that caliber. I woke up everyday regretting everything and feeling hopeless. Everynight I would "escape" to my anime and it would all feel better only for it to come back once more the next morning.


     


     The depression arose as a result of the passing of my grandmother back in April 2013... on April Fool's Day. As I stated on my Journal, I thought it was all one massive joke, that someone was cruel enough to lie to us about something so serious, so critical. I broke down when I heard the news that she passed away, my mother was devastated (because it was her mother that died) and she lost it. I was scared, horribly scared, seeing my mother in that state. I had to pull myself together though, because later that day, around 11:00 a.m. I had to take one of my Art History midterms. So I swallowed it all in and I held back everything. It was a decision I would later come to regret. And so, July came and while I was at my work, my mind just wandered off. I began to regret my past decisions, thinking about all the lost opportunities in life and how in several months, I was going to turn 20. I was going to say good-bye forever to my high-school days (even though I had already graduated), to my teen years. And then I remembered the death of my grandmother and somehow began to think about the future death of my parents and family. I broke down and I headed to the restroom, and I cried silently. That was the beginning of my depression and it lasted for several weeks, up until the start of September. It was horrific, absolutely horrific. Having to wake up to such a dreadful feeling is the worst. But even then I never contemplated suicide. It never came to my mind. I was too sad to think of anything else.


     


    But having gone through that experience makes me feel more connected to those who do contemplate suicide. Depression sucks, hardcore. It kills your train of thought. You just want to end your suffering. It's insane. But I didn't give up. I got back. My passion for the arts pushed me forward. I'm happy just knowing that my grandmother passed away peacefully. And I'm also happy that I'm fulfilling her wish of me receiving a higher education beyond that of high school, as I am the first of my family to do so.


     


    So to wrap this up: Don't give up, never give up. Life may be hard but there's so much you can do, so much you can contribute to. Your friends and family need you. Killing yourself will only push your suffering on to them, it won't change a thing. Fight for your right to live.


  11. I second Sonic '06. At the time I got it for my Xbox 360.


     


    It wasn't a disaster. No, that thing was a catastrophe. I cannot believe the amount of bugs that were present in that game. I was actually looking forward to it but holy damn, it was a massive nuclear letdown AND a meltdown at that. Some of the bugs I encountered were downright ridiculous if not stupid. It was horrifically unplayable. And another thing:

    DA HELL WAS THIS!?!


     


    Are You Serious SEGA?!

    I'm glad SEGA has redeemed itself with Colors, Generations and Lost World(to an extent) but man, '06 had serious potential but SEGA blew it, hardcore.

  12. My eyes are brown. They actually turn to gold when exposed to bright light*

    *sarcasm

    In all seriousness, my eyes are a dark brown, almost jet black. Truth be told, I carry the genes for green eyes. I got them from my mother's side of the family.

  13. Ah this thread has gotten old....but I SHALL REVIVE IT!! i think.


     


    Any who, the point of this thread(back in 2012) was to take signatures that I had made during my early Photoshop years and see how they could be improved upon or changed. Some of them were noticeable changes while others were subtle. I have no idea why I lost interest but that interest is back, and I'll slowly showcase new versions of old versions....if that makes any sense. I'll do my best this time not to let it get super old. Maybe once every month or twice...we'll see.


     


    The signature I will demonstrate today is an oldie but goodie. Created in 2010-2011(i think), Fury is a Shana signature. It is one of those rare examples when I hit the critical points in a signature on the first try. To this day, I consider it one of my best novice level signatures that I ever made.


     


    Looking it over this year, I decided that there were key places where the signature could be changed. This is a new take on the signature so granted it'll look different than the other one. The overall composition is the same, as I didn't want to change that, but I added a new clipping mask( I may go over this one again, since in some places it looks obtrusive but not by much). I darkened up the edges a bit. Color is enhanced and made more prominent. I sharpened the signature using the H.P.F/L.L method. Speaking of lighting, I actually added a source of lighting (her Nietono no Shana). It may seem a bit overpowering but it is a flaming sword afterall. Finally, I got rid of the SZ logo(cause it's a bit bland to me now) and added some thin black bars on the top and bottom. Overall, it's not a major difference in the setup, but rather in the ambience, the tonal atmosphere. As always, If you would like to give feedback, then by all means you may do so, and I thank you for it as well. Enjoy!


     


    *I will no longer post up small versions of the signatures as these are not signatures that I will be using as my personal signatures. In other words, I will upload the original sizes of these signatures, because it serves to show more detail that way, and most of them were pretty large to begin with anyway.

  14. firedogx10: I can see what your trying to achieve here. Very nice; great flow, although your lighting could use some work though. ;)


     


     


    ∂яεαмεя: I'd like to put this under the category of simple but powerful. The bokeh/circles are a nice touch.Your text style works but the placement could be improved upon. This is just my honest opinion though. Don't feel obliged to change it all :)


     


    playlamegetfame: I like the overall composition. The lighting works really well. In fact, it works too well. As Minkseru mentioned, the


     focus/brightness is a bit much. Other than that it's great!


     


    Oh lol! I just noticed it's several days past the deadline! haha!!!


  15.  

    When the only reason I'm still reading watching this manga. Is to see, only what happens to the God Tree.

    well the flower stopped blooming.. So unless madara becomes mock sage i can't see it happening.

     

    Sitting back waiting patiently for madara's back up plan.... but for now it's just lame ass naruto uzumaki giving the usual friendship speech and talk no jutsu crap that everyone saw coming...

     

     

    To be honest, I'm starting to feel the same way. I was a least expecting Madara's plan to come to fruition but it looks like that's not happening.

     

    Here are the last two chapters if you guys are interested. It's pretty much confirming what everybody was expecting up to this point. But hey, at least Shukaku's back.......even though he doesn't do much.

    http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/655

     

     

    Also, there's no new chapter this week. Until next week, which is fine for me....I'm not expecting much myself, maybe except the conclusion (or continuation?) of Madara's and Hashirama's fight.

  16. Oh lol, this thread has gotten dusty. Let me clean it up a bit.

    Here are the links to the Naruto chapters since 645
