Live action Akira with Stephen Spielberg as director makes me want to shoot myself. I hear rumors of a live action Evangelion movie by Spielberg. I hope it's all a joke. I hope.

I'm sure every school district has MLK day off just in case SOMEBODY sues about racism. I never remember getting the day off when I lived in Florida. Also added some history and statistics to my previous post based on that one idiots post.

Robert E. Lee Day
I really think some of the holidays my district gets off are stupid as hell. MLK day is really not that big a celebration that we need the day off, is it? I guess it's because my school district is becoming predominantly black, but I still don't see the point. Kind of like how my district celebrates Cazmeer Pulaski day. It makes no sense at all, he had nothing to do with Illinois. I guess it is the fact that he was Polish, and Chicago is really Polish, but even then I live two and a half hours away from Chicago. Whatever, I think there are too many holidays in the way of getting days off in summer, when I can go out and do stuff instead of be trapped with my laptop in front of a fireplace. Too add to this, you've apparently never been to the South, because last time I was in Savannah and Atlanta, I was surrounded by African American peoples. New Orleans was the same way. I think the only state that I was not surrounded by African Americans as much was Florida. That's stupid racism, since the South is predominantly black. And I don't think the south has been as racist as you make it sound since the mid 1800's. The only reason people hang confederate flags in the south is because it was a major part of southern culture. Also, since you seem illiterate in history, slavery was the straw that broke the horses back. The North was federal, and the South wanted the states to make up their own minds on stuff. That was the main reason the war was fought, slavery was used, in my opinion, as a history teachers easy way to teach fourth grade U.S history. Slavery was just the point that pushed the war, which is probably why the other reasons for the war are usually overlooked.

The Official PS3 Thread
I was threatened by a guy on Uncharted who was pissed because he was cussing someone out while hiding in a corner and doing nothing and I snapped his neck. PSN is so full of idiots, I can't believe it. Infamous was pretty good, the ending was totally awesome. Uncharted was awesome. Beat Saints Row 2 and it's my favorite open world game ever. Trying to play Red Faction: Guerilla, but it is really boring. Waiting patiently for GOW3 and Dantes Inferno.

Holiday Events
They certainly have! By making us actually work toward the coveted holiday item it takes all the fun out of everything. Take for instance the Halloween event. How could they make me help out those spiders, when instead I could have simply spent two seconds talking to death, earned my spider-web cape and left? Who cares about the fact that they are trying to give an enjoyable holiday mission to everyone, such as bored F2Pers who have nothing better to do? Thirty minutes! My god, how dare they steal thirty minutes of my life by making me do an optional side quest! They can't really do anything too exciting. The quest must be accessible to a person of every level. They cannot put in high level monsters and such exciting things because of that. That annoys me to! Why would Jagex let people play their game? Or maybe everyone should stand in single file and one by one complete the quest? Sorry that you have a crappy internet connection and I'm sorry people play the game. Who the hell cares how the bloody hell long you've played? I played five years, and because of that I get a ...special cookie? The mini-quest is there for fun, if you don't like it, skip it. Who cares how long you've played? No one! It makes no impact upon anyone if you've played a year or ten.

The Official PS3 Thread
Got my PS3 last Wednesday or Tuesday. Can't remember. I got Uncharted 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4 as my first two games. The PS3, in my time with it, has been more fun than my 360 (Which died on me, it randomly freezes up because of hard drive problems. It seems every person I know who owns a 360 has had problems with theirs glitching or the red ring of death). The menu screen isn't as vibrant and exciting as the 360's, but it has a lot less crap to sift through. I tried Home first, just because I heard it was fun. I totally hated it. I created a white guy with a purple afro in a wife beater and gangsta style pants and decided to walk around. There were people trying to hook up over it, it just seemed like some kind of giant internet orgy. It was terrible. I quit soon afterwards. So I played MGS4 first. It's pretty good, feels a lot more balanced than the previous ones, but all the same I haven't been too enthralled with the story, it kind of slogs along and doesn't seem to get anywhere. I haven't even fought a weird boss in the first four hours, so I am pretty pissed. I haven't tried Metal Gear Online because my last time playing an online Metal Gear game (The PSP Metal Gear: Portable Ops) I had no fun at all. I rented Batman: Arkham Asylum. It was decent enough, but I didn't think it worthy of all the praise it got. It was short and I felt rather bored half the time, it wasn't that much fun. The mini-bosses were all the same, which made me feel a bit ripped off. Most of the stealth sections were forced (Don't get caught or innocent bystander dies). The part in the sewer when you were running from Croc went on for freaking ever, I felt it would never end. The final boss was a huge let down as well, Joker was as easier than the bloody minibosses! The only part I truly enjoyed were the psychological parts with Scarecrow. Those were brilliant. Uncharted 2 is great. The campaign does have it's truly cinematic moments, but once you hit the halfway mark they are spread out fairly far apart. The level where you run across the train felt much, much harder then any of the other levels, I guess the bad guys were amped up a bit, because getting over the difficulty curve was a bit of a challenge to me. Nonetheless, all the unlockables are great and the multiplayer is bloody fantastic. I enjoy it more than Halo 3 personally, and I spent hours upon hours on Halo 3. Just wanted to say though, that the PSN seems just as good as Live. Live does offer more crap, but who the hell cares about the Netflix and that stuff? I paid for Live to play on online, as does every other user. PSN is just as good. I did notice so many idiots on the PSN though. Most people I played with who used a mic were using it to be an idiot. At least Live had a couple decent players. But then again, Live was one of those places where you are either an immature eight year old or so hardcore you eat nails for breakfast. I personally am enjoying the PS3. People can note I did bash it for quite a while for its hefty price, it's lack of first party titles, and it's overall failing to meet the Xbox and Wii in sales. But, I think most of my arguments are wronged when we look at the fact that the PS3's first party titles are generally much better reviewed and are much bulkier games than those of the Xbox360. Anybody up for some Uncharted multiplayer, my PSN is (RAT)Newge4

Song of the Decade
Mr. Brightside is decent, but not the best song of the decade... And Sex on Fire should not even be there. FIrst time I heard that song on the radio I thought "Cool, the Foo Fighters have a new song". Sounds exactly like them and isn't even as good as any foo fighters songs. The list has very little variety at all and I can't believe how much Green Day made it on there. I'm particularly pissed that Sex on Fire is three and Foo Fighers doesn't show up til' 62, and they chose Best of You over Pretender...Pretender is one of the best songs of the decade for me, personally.

Tip.it, Australia needs your help!!
Anyone wanting to get R18+ Video Game rating system into Australia, whether over the age of 18 or under 18 fill out these documents and send them, as it is the only way the government is going to get a definitive answer about what the public really want in regards to the R18+ Rating. http://www.ag.gov.au/gamesclassification Direct link to the .doc submission This is the only way you can help make a difference for us Australians in regards to video games. Please, download the .doc and send it off to [email protected] as an attachment once you have filled out all the answers. You'd be helping 21 million Australians get a message across to our government!!! Thanks!!! Probably would work out better in the video game forum. But otherwise, I as an American have kind of questioned why the Australian government is so strict about this. Is it because of kids getting a hold of it, or is it because they just don't like all the violence in video games?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I've never used 4Chan in my life, never will either. This is a real story, and if you want to believe it's fake, go ahead, but just know that this is really happening and I can bring back video Thursday night of what is happening when I hang out with Dylan and Eric and Breon. And yes, I scour the internet daily to find random stuff to copy and paste to the RS fan site I frequent :roll: Already considered it. If what goes on continues I might consider Dr. Phil because at least that way I would get on TV and be able to laugh as Eric is humiliated.

The Warring States
2. Gare slept for an hour and a half before he heard a creak from the wooden floorboard he had pulled up before he retired. He could hear a muttered curse from whoever was at the door, and smiled to himself. It couldn't be one of the Holy Knights or Elven assassins, that was too unprofessional of them. It had to be one of the towns people, maybe it was a friend of the drunks. The door was unlocked, Gare thought it would be pointless for the mayor's son to pay for a broken door if someone were to break in. The door opened, light from the hanging lanterns on the ceiling of the hall splayed a shadow, a large one at that. The man who walked through the door was tall, muscular, and his fists were clenched. He didn't look like a happy person. He got to the edge of the bed. Gare pretended to sleep, waiting to hear a whoosh of air or any other sound that could announce the coming attack. The sound he heard was a hissing, like a snake. He instantly recognized the brief hiss as that which comes from unsheathing a knife. Gare rolled out of the bed and grabbed his sword from the corner of the room, drawing his weapon from the leather scabbard and twirling it threateningly. Stranger, you better let me kill you painlessly. You don't want to mess with me or my brothers. Gare noticed a strange tattoo, almost imperceptible in the dim light. It was like a curled up dragon, protecting it's babies. What clan are you from? Asked Gare. You must be part of the rogue guild of these mountains. Were you hired by the king? The neutral grounds are losing their neutrality, aren't they? The rogue smirked. As far as I care, we are a branch of the rogue guild hired to either kill you and take your body to Drowsdon, or try to keep you stuck in this town until the Holy Knight's show up. So the Holy Knight's are coming. Gare muttered. DIE! The rogue ran at Gare, knife prepared to plunge into his head. Gare sidestepped and brought his sword around. Icecrusher bounced off of the rogue's skin. Iron skin? Gare asked politely. Very rare magical ability. That's why I'm the head of the neutral ground division of my clan! Gare rolled to the side as the rogue tried to stab him again. Gare had no way to take this guy out, and he knew it. Dammit. Gare muttered as he ran into the hallway and saw two other rogue's standing at opposite ends of the hall. The big man walked out of Gare's bedroom and laughed. There is no way to stop us. Elven snipers are posted and watching this building, the building is full of rogues wanting to kill you. You're screwed Gare Vledshif. Not quite. Gare wore no shirt, but did wear his black leather pants. He knew he had very little defenses, but thankfully, he always thought ahead. Gare stomped on the large wooden floorboard that he had pried out as a defense. The wood snapped into pieces. Gare then scrambled to find his gun underneath the broken floorboard. He found the pistol's familiar grip, aimed at the man with the iron skin, and shot. The bullet pierced his chest and went out through his back. The man died instantly, the shot going straight through his heart. Iron skin can stop a sword, but it is too weak to stop a bullet. Learned that from my old master. Gun's trump iron skin. He laughed. Magic school was long and boring, but paid off. He looked at the two rogue's, mouths agape in shock. You two ready to die, or will you leave and tell the snipers to get out of here or I'll kill them too. The two rogues shook their heads and drew scimitars. They came at Gare. Idiots. Gare put his gun in the back of his pants, he wouldn't need it. He grabbed some of the splintered wood from the ground and threw it into one of the men's eyes. The man screamed in agony as Gare parried a strike from rogue number two. Rogue number two tried to kick Gare in the groin, but instantly regretted it. Gare slid his sword downward from the parry and sliced the man's leg off. Rogue two screamed and dropped his sword as his foot thumped to the ground and blood quickly drizzled out of his stump. Rogue number one still couldn't see. Gare quickly decapitated him and left the bedrooms. People from the other rooms had been staring at him with shock, awe, disgust, and over everything, fright. Gare did not care though. He made his way down to the bar and found fifteen men all waiting for him, swords drawn. Gare raised his hand in surrender. He then slowly inched towards large barrel of beer behind the bar. Quit moving and let us chop you up! Said on of the rogues. Gare stood three feet from the barrel. Good enough. He struck the barrel with his sword, creating a large crack in it. Beer spilled onto the floor, spreading quickly. The men all came at Gare. Gare parried some blows and waited another fifteen seconds for the beer to spread more. He then pointed with one hand parried with the other and screamed Congelo! The beer automatically froze, freezing the feet of everyone in the large pool of the liquid into place. They tried to move but could not escape. Twelve of the fifteen rogues stood stuck in the ice. FUE- One of the rogue's, one adept at fire magic Gare thought, was decapitated before he could finish the spell to conjure flames. The three mobile rogues were easily dispatched with the swift movements of IceCrusher. The other rogues were then quickly killed, leaving body parts and blood scattered all over the floor. Gare left the bar quickly. He knew the elven snipers would get a bead on him in a hairsbreadth of a second. He ran as fast as he could to his horse and then heard shots ring off of her. Gare quickly unzipped his mare's black skin from the side. Her metal skeleton was in great shape. He checked all the main life support systems, found they were fine, and then made sure the brain canister of the creature was in perfect shape. It was. A real horses brain had to be used to produce such a realistic creature. After checking, he found the weapons rack he had built in her. One rack carried a machine gun, a new invention from the gun industry, and a high powered sniper rifle with a state-of-the-art scope. He heard more shots resound of of the bullet proof metal of the left side of his horse. The right side was opened up more for access to her innards. These kind of horses were specially designed for Knights of the Cross. The brains of these horses were the brains that came from the original five Knight's horses. These machines were so expensive, the kingdom had to raise taxes almost fifty percent for three months just to pay the money back for the things. More shots clanged against the horses bulletproof side. Gare zipped her skin back up after collecting his sniper rifle, then quietly muttered, Down. The horse dropped to the ground and acted as a barrier between man and snipers. Gare used his horses back to steady his shots as he aimed into the mountains. Three elven snipers were clustered together next to a rocky outcropping. Easy pickins'. Must be the new guys, usually elves are well dispersed and hide behind something, like I'm doing, thought Gare. Gare picked one off simply. The blood that flew through the air as the sniper's head jerked back from the impact of the bullet was beautiful. Just how Gare liked his kills. Clean and pretty. The other two quickly rolled behind the outcropping. Gare stopped shooting and heard galloping from behind him. The CLOP's were not those of a regular horse, they were those of... A Knight of the Holy Cross graces me with his presence. Gare turned, still crouched behind his horse. A knight in black armor jumped off his horse as it continued galloping, and rolled into a crouch ten feet from Gare. The knight of Maryk, knight of darkness, knight of light. His armor shimmers white when good deed be done, but black it turns if evil's on the run. Gare laughed. Davere, great to see you again old buddy. How are the other knights doing? They behind you, or are they bigger cowards then I remember and are hiding in their rooms in the king's castle? The dark knight laughed in an evil tone of voice. This man wasn't human at all. They know I will kill you without remorse. A good deed is to be done. When I kill you my armor will return to white, like it was when we battled the Krail, the cat-people. Remember that? How can I forget the time you killed their politician who came with scrolls declaring that they wanted peace and would hand over all their land to us as long as we left their villages alone? A minor miscalculation. Gare snicked. Who the hell miscalculates a sword thrust two feet from the face of a diplomat? The dark knight drew a six foot sword from a sheath across his horses flank. His horse was black as well, except it had an exoskeleton that made it look almost like a demon/dragon hybrid. It's eyes glowed red. Prepare to die former knight of Sarot, knight of winter, knight of ice. A knight from hell, death won't suffice. He has forever been buried in his power of ice. The dark knight laughed and shifted his hold on his weapon. You are the dead man walking, soon to be just the dead man. The two snipers behind Gare started shooting again. Not good. He muttered. --------------------------------- Added a prologue that will explain the magic power thing a bit more to the first post. Please, someone comment and tell me if it's any good!
