For all you old school anime fans out there...



WOW!!!

These IMAGI folks are impressive!

(And on a related note, I have to say that after seeing the T28 trailer, I'm much more psyched about the character design for Gatchaman.� The earlier shots
didn't promise much, but if the T28 characters are an example of the new staff's work, I believe the Gatchaman project is now in good hands.)

Viva la Vida by Coldplay

I used to rule the world


Seas would rise when I gave the word


Now in the morning I sleep alone


Sweep the streets I used to own




I used to roll the dice


Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes


Listen as the crowd would sing


"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"




One minute I held the key


Next the walls were closed on me


And I discovered that my castles stand


Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand




I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing


Roman Cavalry choirs are singing


Be my mirror, my sword and shield


My missionaries in a foreign field




For some reason I can't explain


Once you go there was never


Never an honest word


And that was when I ruled the world




It was the wicked and wild wind


Blew down the doors to let me in


Shattered windows and the sound of drums


People couldn't believe what I'd become




Revolutionaries wait


For my head on a silver plate


Just a puppet on a lonely string


Oh who would ever want to be king?




I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing


Roman Cavalry choirs are singing


Be my mirror, my sword and shield


My missionaries in a foreign field




For some reason I can't explain


I know Saint Peter won't call my name


Never an honest word


But that was when I ruled the world




I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing


Roman Cavalry choirs are singing


Be my mirror, my sword and shield


My missionaries in a foreign field




For some reason I can't explain


I know Saint Peter won't call my name


Never an honest word


But that was when I ruled the world

For some reason I can see Doug's chaos field turning into an entrophic field. Anything he touches breaks down..very rapidly.

Wow. That's a lot of time spent on custom Mario levels.

With HE-AT approaching fifty I'm trying to settle on her final build. The biggest issue I have with her is end, so the build below is frankenslotted for
recovery with regen where I couldn't get decent recovery bonuses. I may have over done it, seeing as Mids reports her time from 0-100 end as - 7 sec. Oh
and at this point inf is no object.

This is Nogi as she sits on the Live servers:

Things that occured to me on the way to the university:

1) Wow, the snow's way heavier than it looked from my window... note to self, never try to judge weather conditions from eight storeys up. 
2) Jeez, I'd much rather be walking on the snow than the pavement. This is freaking slippery. I know bipedal locomotion is supposed to be 'controlled falling', but this is freakin' ridiculous.
3) I am wearing shoes. I should not be wearing shoes. I have my old Army boots in the closet, and if I could track through the jungle in those things, I could go through snow in them, and why the hell didn't I remember until now. Curse you, military training! You have forsaken me! Ranma Saotome, this is all your fault!
4) Oh, gee, y'know, the streets look pretty good snowed in, actually, it's very white and pretty. Pity it's a deathtrap.
5) Hm...that's interesting, there's no buses on the road. Plenty of cars, but no buses. And the electronic signs on the bus stops are displaying the website address for travel updates instead of bus times. And the phrase 'Countdown', for some cryptic reason. Which is odd because it doesn't look like New Year's to me. Maybe this is nuclear winter.
7) Wait, if the -buses aren't running-, maybe there's no school today
8) Man, that'd be hilarious. I'd feel like a complete ass.
9) ...yup. Bwahahahahahahahaha.
...
Look, I'm from a tropical country. We don't have snow where I come from.
Which is why I'm typing this now, in a computer lab. I really gotta start checking my e-mail BEFORE heading out, they sent out a 'no classes today due to zomgwtf weather' notice at 8.30 am. 
Admittedly, since I left for school at nine this isn't that huge a margin. =D And I'm not the only mildly disgruntled student in here.
