  1. 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: Battlefield 3 Battlefield 4 Need for Speed: Most Wanted Need for Speed: Rivals Hitman: Absolution Dirt 3 Burnout Paradise
  2. 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.
  3. Looks pretty sweet! While I'm partial to white and blue, that color scheme looks pretty good itself. It's all aesthetically pleasing.
  4. Ah, having dreams about anime are a real treat. Except....when that dream portrays you as a girl cosplaying as a dark haired Ika Musume. I sh*t you not!! I'm so confused right now.

      Lol that is one weird dream Seraph but that's when I'd just go "anime overload, that's all it was" lol

  5. 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.
  6. So I decided to jump into the Seitokai Yakuindomo bandwagon....I was not dissapointed.

      Is that the manga or anime??

    2. JohnFlower

      JohnFlower

      I decided not to read the manga... I'm not a fan of 4-koma. I might try the anime one day.

    3. Moodkiller

      Moodkiller

      Ahh ok I see :) at the moment as well the anime is not dubbed, hopefully it will be.. looks awesome!! :P

  7. Don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet but it looks like the Fairy Tail anime is set to return in April 2014.

    1. DeathTheKid

      DeathTheKid

      Is there a reliable source?

    2. Air King

      Air King

      Yes it's confirmed by the Director of the anime

  8. Quantum III: Distortion Quantum IV: Obscurity
  9. I'm surprised how under wraps the Sailor Moon anime is. Not one bit of information has been released, at least to my understanding. Also, I hear they green lighted the animating of The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan.

    1. AxelVIII

      AxelVIII

      What's "The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan"?

  10. Date A Live second season confirmed for April 2014. Sweetness ahoy!!

      I'm SOO excited for the 2014 anime. Yeye! :x

      maybe they will make it a 24 episodes this time around.

    3. J-Lord

      J-Lord

      That is indeed very cool.

  11. Hopefully I'm not the only one that's stoked for the new Godzilla film!!

    1. SuperSlamm

      SuperSlamm

      I'm pretty excited about it too. The trailer makes it look promising.

    2. DeathTheKid

      DeathTheKid

      Saw the trailer just the other day. Looks like it'll be awesome. Or at least better than the 90s one.

  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. So this winter I'll be rewatching all of Shakugan no Shana because it's BADASS, the story is BADASS, the freaking music is BADASS, the dubs are somewhat adequate, and finally because it's FREAKING BADASS!!

    1. Moodkiller

      Moodkiller

      LOL currently watching this at the moment, for the first time, and would have to agree with everything you have said :D

    2. DeathTheKid

      DeathTheKid

      I think I stopped watching towards the end of the 2nd season. Need to finish the rest at some point. I guess I stopped because it bored me at times.

  14. I just realized how bat___t insane Japanese horror movies are....*nightmares inbound

      i had issues getting to sleep after watching the first few episodes of Shiki early in the morning

  15. I will forever be indebted to the man who created Super Sonico. May the gods of moe and watermelons bless you forever.

      Aren't you excited for the anime for Sonico? http://youtu.be/BY784DfSgRM

  16. 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. Original 2013 Version
  17. And the battle drags on..... http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/657 I would also like to point this out: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2013/11/26/naruto-preparing-to-enter-its-final-phase
  18. The Sora no Otoshimono manga has gone completely ape__t. The latest raw (ch 75) came out and......holy....damn. You have to see it to believe it.

      Hardly. The illustrations tell me everything I need. I assume you have read the raw for chapter 75. It's pretty.....crazy, in my honest opinion.

    3. JohnFlower

      JohnFlower

      I refuse to 'read' raws. Pictures can only tell half the story, imo.

    4. -Zero-

      -Zero-

      Hmm. Interesting. Well, since I don't want to spoil anything, I'll just let you know that the manga gets pretty dark in 75...as if it wasn't enough already.

  19. 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!!!
  20. I just finished a 17 page essay...........NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

      How many times did you repeat what you wrote?

      man i remember those days...

  21. 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/654 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.
  22. That was all sorts of funky, in a good way. The melody reminds me of Hardcore EDM, although I don't listen to that genre very often or this one. Speaking of EDM, i'm in 'THAT' kind of mood right now so have some Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike >http://youtu.be/3NEMjItMG5I
  23. I don't know what it is, but Kill la Kill is doing something right....something that the other animes of this season aren't doing. A series like this comes once or twice a year....or maybe not XD

    1. Alice

      Alice

      Maybe I should try it. I've only been watching one anime this season...haven't brought myself into the others.

    2. -Zero-

      -Zero-

      You should give it a shot. It's really awesome!!

  24. I have come to realize that I'm being slowly dragged into the MLP:FIM fandom......is this good or bad?

    1. lemmingllama

      lemmingllama

      Well, assuming you like ponies and don't plan on dedicating your life to it, then probably a good thing

    2. CardGames

      CardGames

      Good thing!! Because you're just in time for Season 4!! :D

  25. The raw for the latest Sora no Otoshimono chapter blew my mind. HOLY.......I'm still in shock!!

      What's there to get into? The anime focuses on the ecchi side of things.

    3. -Zero-

      -Zero-

      To be honest, I was expecting the third season to get into the tragic side of this manga, but that's not happening anytime soon. I could be wrong though; the movie might end up surprising us....or maybe not.

      I have "Problems" that prevent me from watching this Anime at this present time.
