The Avengers
I am totally thinking about the green arrow right now. I don't know much about comic books (shocking, I know) so I don't know if green arrow has a super power, but from watching Smallville, it doesn't appear that he does. so these guys would be very similar.

The Avengers
so their special abilities are tactical and reconnaissance?

Kenji's Random thoughts
I feel like you are completely missing the point. the point is 'firefox sync'. you don't need the old hard drive. .. i've said this about 3 times already....

Anime you are currently watching and/or Downloading
Utawarerumono, I watched that one, I recall it was very good, some really good strategy and intriguing backstory. can't recall any of the details though as it was quite a while back. I guess while enjoyable, it was ultimately forgettable.

Xenoblade Chronicles
I want to elaborate, since it is impossible to make a game that is totally new. to describe the battle system, I have noticed there is a lot of influence from the world of warcraft battle system. although there is positional strategy involved in this. advantages for strikes from behind and from the side. it's more like WoW sped up and with more of a challenge. there is no 'pocket dimension' the battles take place in the real world. you can run away from most fights just fine. as long as the area isn't crawling with baddies of course. oh yes, there is materia in this game. in name and in spirit, although not together. the slots are filled with gems that attribute stat boosts etc. and the name materia is used for something else. but it doesn't feel like a wallpaper job, that is what I think you were referring to.

Dealing with Subordinates
I understand the position you are in. I also had a difficult situation recently. I think the decision just needs to be made. once the decision is made, it's like a freight train. decision flows into action and there is nothing that can stop it. how you phrase it does not matter. after all, you are professional enough that by this stage, whatever you say will be correct.

Xenoblade Chronicles
yeah you got it. I personally feel that there are some very interesting influences from final fantasy 7 in this game. like I can say that one of the areas is called Eryth Sea. but apart from the references, this is very much it's own game. what I mean by this is that it is the strongest RPG type game with a strong story that can keep a RPG lover busy for a very long time. back when ff7 came out, there was no game like it. in this generation, there is no game like Xenoblade. at least none that I know of.

Xenoblade Chronicles
Question, is this game any good? Answer, you really need to play it. it's a tough one really when it comes to any games, there will always be haters so we can never guarantee a games success, but when I compare this game to final fantasy 13, I have to say that square-enix need to take a lot of notes. this is how you make a game. this is how you tell story, this is how you do awesome cut scenes. and this is how you create an immerse world that draws people in. you may have seen screenshots of the game and you might think they are mere publicity artwork. I will give you a screenshot here and rest assured, this is an IN GAME environment. yes the view is a lot wider than it normally would be, just to give you a nice vista, but this is a true in game environment. it does look that good! (please also use the music on hte official website to enhance your viewing pleasure - http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/sx4j/index.html) this game puts to shame all those games like zelda, final fantasy etc. the size, complexity and uniqueness of the environment is quite stunning. it can take a long time to explore all the areas and it is so rich, you have missions to complete and lots of items to collect that do have a very real bearing on later events. the story is slow to build. you start off with very little understanding of the world and the people that inhabit it, but as time goes on, all sorts of things are brought in to play that have you questioning and also making educated guesses as to what will happen. This game is not available in the USA yet, but it has been available in europe for quite some time. I would like to recommend all europeans to get this, and you americans to pre--order it! This is one game that is worth buying a Wii for outright. there is no RPG/action adventure game on this generation of consoles that comes close to this IMO. it is the final fantasy 7 of it's generation.

The Avengers
I feel like that girl and the guy with the bow shouldn't be there. Do you understand what I mean? Then seem like hangers-on. I don't read comics so I only have the films as reference, so this makes sense as a reason why I see it that way, but is it like this in the comics? do you think those other two should have also been given their own movie? It's a very nice artwork

Dealing with Subordinates
I don't fully know your situation, but I like to work very closely with a person if they are not performing to my expectation. I will take them close to me by my side and I will ask them to judge the situation from my perspective. If I am asking them to judge the situation, I am giving them responsibility for recognising the failures or the issues. then I ask them what they believe the best course of action is. when they view it from the other side, they will usually understand better. and an agreement will be forthcoming.

The Avengers
yeah i love ironman and thor so I was looking forward to seeing this anyway. we have had suggestions for this movie all the way back in ironman 1.

Riv's random self
good news on that, glad he is doing ok. I used to knit with needles when i was a young teen. it's pretty interesting how it works and you can make some great things!
-
The Avengers
i guess, when taken in context, it can be more suitable. if the film maker really doesn't want people to focus on the quinjet then grey is the best colour for it? that would make a lot of sense. just taken out of context and compared to the images google gave me, that is when it looks dull.
-
Cool Videos
interesting fusion. he did quite a good job at that, maybe went on a bit too long, but nice and entertaining!
-
The Avengers
that's not about colours though is it it's about detail. because the watchmen and x-men first class looked amazing and they didn't appear to be shy of colour. in fact captain america or ironman were also not shy of colour. or the green lantern. but sometimes they just seems to think that colour is no good for whatever reason. the original x-men movies were a prime example of that. and that airship for the avengers is a good example, I just feel that it looks really dull and boring.,

Tribute to Asian Women
she definitely has a certain something

History of Super Sentai
Odin, when you read this, a quite rough script should be okay because it will allow me to speak more naturally rather than sticking to exactly what is written. I mean, I don't wish to disrespect anybody's writing, but some things will just sound odd coming out of my mouth and in my accent.
-
History of Super Sentai
my part is easy, I wouldn't have a problem with it. but i think the other guys are busy with things perhaps.

Tribute to Asian Women
yeah that is true and is why I didn't post any pictures of her myself. I was just using an example. I did a search for latina women and women with spanish descent. as you can imagine it brought up a lot of interesting images. my intention was to find more women who were similar to Judy Reyes. Loni was prominent among the searches and has the attributes that I find appealing. just like Judy Reyes. ( i won't post pictures of Judy Reyes of course, because she is of Dominican heritage, not asian)
-
Tribute to Asian Women
ah yes, she is very attractive! I don't know if you have heard of adult model named Loni. She is very attractive.

Naruto
yeah technique would be so much better, but in terms of page space, japanese has quite the advantage. shadow clone technique would surely be the best choice IMO but well translation is largely about personal choice and intuition. it's also about how the target audience is likely to receive it. for naruto in the west i think it is largely 8-16 as an estimate.
-
if you like naruto...
yeah , it has really had me in stitches a number of times. it is real bizarre humour at times. be wary though, it has a lot of episodes. the first season has 200 episodes and there is now a second season. I didn't obtain that yet though so i dunno how many. I think it's still ongoing.

Naruto
sorry to tell you this but that is actually a quite literal translation of kage bunshin no jutsu. I suppose clone might be easier to slide off the tongue but i do think doppelgänger may be more accurate. (since clone is biological and doppelganger is supernatural)
