General 'whatever'.

Hey guys! I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I got a summer internship for a new American manga company that's just starting to work on their first story. They're called Rock Steady, and their story is also called Rock Steady. My job right now is to get the word out about the project and help build an audience for Rock Steady, and also help them find a manga artist that is willing to work for free (time will be compensated though). I have read part of the story thus far, and IMO I think it's got potential to be a good manga. I would like to get some feed back on this, too. The guys that started this would really appreciate knowing their proj…

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=107113 Ok then. So the people who made the clone wars have been working on this, an animated series set in between ep 3 and 4. The article has more details. Now my views.... (clears throat) What many may or may not know is, I'm extremely critical on all things star wars. I can't stand the prequels much less the clone wars by any reasoning. Yes. The cartoon series was good, even great at times, but it wasn't what the clone wars was suppose to of been. That said in totally excited by this announcement, tho i am also.... Leery... Since the star wars clone wars series is official this series will be basing stories from th…

saw this acouple of days ago, wasn't too bad, i liked it even from being an original fan from the 80's. although had doubts about the robot scene in it, reminded me too much of the chromed robot in thor. i'm sure they could of come up with something better. anyone else's thoughts on this and the movie? oh,yea, being a marvel movie, everyone knows to stay till the end of the credits? i found it very interesting and got me excited and thinking about the next movie.

I moved away from my home town a few years ago, and wow, what is happening there now. You see, Lethrbidge Alberta is in the bible belt of Canada. So I heard all the doom and gloom predictions of the end of the world, and how we will need a safe haven. Even with global warming, the coastal places will be flooded, so one would think something so inland, shielded by mountains, and thousands of miles of open plains would be enough to protect people. Hell, when I was growing up, the grass was always yellow because it never rained, it was eternal drought. Well... things change. Earlier this month, a huge rain swept through Alberta, bringing down the mountain ice and…

I feel it's a bit distracting to have these things sticking out of the left side of the screen, especially when I'm trying to read. How about you guys?

So, do you eat potato chips, or any of that unhealthy sort of foods? I myself enjoy the occasional potato chip, usually when I am enjoying a nice movie at home. Most of the time I eat the local variants which cost a lot less. Although I would prefer Lay's, they are a lot more expensive. And most of the time, I can finish one whole bag by myself. I've recently bought Lay's wavy roasted garlic and seasalt, and I really liked it. Too bad it's not available locally. I'll be sure to buy a lot more when I go back to the states. So what's your chips of choice? How much do you / can you consume in a single sitting?

So who else is hyped for Pacific Rim this weekend? http://youtu.be/Ef6vQBGqLW8 Despite the early negative guessing by statisticians, early reviews seem to be pretty positive. I can't wait until Friday!

With the way mobile technology advances and the way people switch phones like clothes, it got me thinking how many phones people have ever owned, and how long do they usually keep their phone before they change it. For me, I got my first phone way back in late 90's. I started using the Nokia 5110 for about a year or two. Since it was not my phone of choice, I switched to the Nokia 7110 when I received my first salary. Used it for around 5 years before it finally broke. My next phone is the Nokia 6260. Used it around 3 years or so before it died on me. Then I got the Nokia E66 which became my main phone until a few months ago. Used it for about 4 years. If you …

Just to avoid discussion about this series on the Game of Thrones thread I decided to make this one so we can talk all about the awesome series that is known as Supernatural, a show about 2 brothers that hunt supernatural entities based on Mythology and Folklore, 2 of my most favorite subjects so you can pretty much guess how much I love this series. Name your favorite characters, seasons and so on and while we are at it what are your expectations for the yet to be made final season 9 and 10?

Hi guys, I've done a lot of work on a fictional starfleet style ship. I've got a few blank spaces I need to fill in. Does anyone have some ideas about things that a starship would need? Like an astrometrics lab? Radiation contamination purgers? I want everything on my ship to have a purpose, and not just be a random room or machine Your thoughts? Thanks

probably just saw the best movie all year and wasn't even at the cinema! just watched this on dvd, apparentely was released last year but only just saw it on the shelve at my local store. i love these japanese movies as most really know how to tell a great story with great history and this movie has a really great dramatic story(ladies, get the kleenex ready!) not a whole lot of action in this but was glued to the screen the whole way through(and no, it wasn't because i had to read the english subtitles because i'm a gaijin) to keep it short its set in 17th century japan and is about a lordless samurai who seeks to use a noble's court yard to honourably commit seppicu…

Review So I went to see Man of Steel last night, and found it enjoyable. For those looking for something emotional, take in the beginning of the movie as much as you possibly can, because after Kal El comes to Earth, the emotional tone is pretty flat. My tears welled up in the beginning, but nothing other than an interest in the events after that. The beginning was kind of like Abrahms first Star trek in its emotional. For those that hat shaky cam, get used to it in this movie, unless it was something wrong with our theaters projector. The entire film seemed to be shot with an over the shoulder cam, which means the match mover guys in the vfx department must have…

Has anybody seen this? Is anybody reading this? I have the ebooks sitting in my playbook for a long time and it was just recently that I started reading it. What prompted me to read it? Watching the series of course. All I can say is, WOW!! This has got to be one of the finest high fantasy series that I've seen or read. The series is quite faithful to the novel with a few differences which is quite understandable. I'm sure you guys have an idea of what I am talking about. A Game of Thrones is the first novel from the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. I can't believe that I'm actually rooting for the Imp. I must say, Peter Dinklage does p…

I was just thinking about this and I would like to talk about it. Piracy is a very common thing these days. that is copyright piracy. of course the history of copyright piracy is rooted in organisations trying to monopolise free information. in the past, the power was with the church and the monks who copied the writings from one book to another. with the advent of the printing press, the power could be taken away and disseminated. so copyright law was created. not to protect the little guy, but to protect large organisations. Things are changing of course. Now with the internet, it is becoming easy and cost free to copy information. If I create a copy of any piec…

Hi everyone. For those of you who might know me, I have admitted to being a World War II history fanatic to a degree. Hence, when an interesting one's on, I often will watch it. I have two favorites that I've always taken time to watch, and one's called High Hitler, and the other is Hitler's Bodyguard. In High Hitler, the story of how Adolf Hitler was probably turned into a meth addict by his personal doctor Theo Morell is told, as well as some rather unconventional medical treatments that Hitler put himself through to cure various ailments, such as his frequent stomach upsets and, as Dr. Morell put it, "constipation and colossal flatulence", which is what start…

Allow me to introduce the Advocacy to the amazing Japanese Folk Metal band Onmyo-Za! These guys have been around for a little while now and have produced some very unique music. Their image and primary lyrical content draws upon Japanese mythology. They are relatively unknown. Even inside their own native Japan. Onmyo-Za has been known to produce a few theme songs every now and then for games and the Basilisk anime series. Onmyo-Za is particularly fond of the the novel The Kouga Ninja Scrolls by Futaro Yamada. Here is a video to give you guys a taste of what this amazing band can do! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyF7tCzuSwo

Ok, i stayed in indianapolis for a week. Let me first say that i am in no way a health buff. I don't eat a healthy diet and I'm not a wellness nut. I'm just a regular person who eats what i want when i want to. Now, based on the foods that i have consumed in a weeks time with different kinds of food, as well as the foods i ate the last time i was here, i found the food to be very unsettling. I mean majority of the food are oily. They have large servings of food, and down to the drinks, not really helpful with my digestion. God, it was really unhealthy even for my standards. And they serve you cold drinks all day long. Although the steaks are very nice and tasty, after…

How many of you know that there are people, families, children, trapped in a 7km wide piece of land, unable to go anywhere and being bombarded by weapons designed to maim and kill people indiscriminately? I went to a talk today. I like to think I know about things going on in the world... but there is much I do not know. I want to try and change the world a little today with information. These are not weapons designed to take out military targets. these are not weapons designed to take out infrastructure. these are weapons, designed specifically to kill people and maim those not in the direct vicinity. Men, women and children. There are children who go to…

Ok, this will be my first time starting a topic about a trip I'm going to, since usually I don't say a word where I'm going. Tomorrow, I'm going back to Indianapolis, US, for a business conference. I would like to ask about prepaid sim cards. Since our local network charge exorbitant amount for data roaming, I was thinking if I should just buy a prepaid sim while I'm in the US to save on data charges. I need my email and we'll be staying at a different hotal this time which I'm not sure if they have wifi access. I snooped around online and found the prepaid sim of T-mobile to be a viable option. But how much will this initially cost me? I saw that they charge $…

Anyone here a Daft Punk fan? Their new album is available to stream on iTunes starting from today! http://www.itunes.com/daftpunk I'm a huge Daft Punk fan so I may be a little (read: very) biased but I'm finding it incredible. I'm on my second listen right now. Some of the tracks are so out there and un-Daft Punk (or at least unexpected from what we've come to know). The Giorgio Moroder and Paul Williams collaborative tracks are just amazing - I love lengthy tracks! The Paul Williams track, "Touch", is appropriately enough, very touching. And the album version of Get Lucky is so much more interesting than the single version, including a longer guitar solo from Nile …

My (new-ish) husband and I did a European honeymoon in the last month and Dublin was the first stop we made. It was, of course, the perfect time to meet up with Sully for drinks, food and good times =)

I just love this guys reviews: He's so right, and yet so drunk

ok guys, i'm back. I think its best to let you guys know that i was actually in prison from feb 2011 till april 2013. i did some bad things, for which i took my punishment, and hopefully i can now make a better life for myself. luckily ryuki stood by me the whole way. i don't have my own net access just yet, but will attempt to get online whenever possible.

Well, the trailers have been out for a while, and now they've released a full clip. Warning, this is a spoiler (well duuuuuh)
