he wasnt in his glowing kyubi mode when he went sage. he was normal and went outside the training room to see what was going on an went sage while being chased. however, when he was talking to the real pain, his eyes did convert to the red eyes while in sage mode, i got so psyched when i read that. wait... durandel, are you caught up in the manga? or did i misinterpert your post...

any one else notice that naruto went into sage mode while moving when he was escaping the island? in the manga (obviously)

the guyver merging with waferdonos probably wouldnt have the same effect on him as it does on humans. after all, waferdonos isnt a human, he's basically a hairy island. i wonder if the guyver would even recognize him as a potential host at all. i agree with SE on this. the advents weren't freaked out that their experimental army can merge with a guyver and gain great destructive abilities. they were freaked out that they couldnt control someone with such power. here's a question, do you think the advents treated their army well, or treated them like slaves/puppets? alky showed them great respect. whether this is due to the advents making him respect them due to how he was processed or if he just simply looked up to them in honest. this is relevent cause if he really did look up to him, then the advents really had nothing to worry about. if they equip alky with a unit, then they just the strongest ally they ever would, but if he was being mentally forced to respect them, be in awe of them, whatever, then if he got a unit and was snapped out of their mental spell, he would be so pissed!!

i actually was pleased when they switched to nakama. for me, at least where i live, the terms friend and comrade are took for granted. for the word friend, most people here call anyone who is nice to them a friend. and as for comrade, no one ever uses it anymore, me and one other guy have used it in the past year, and we got mocked for it, cause its an... how did they put it, ah. an " out of date word". no one really gets the meanings for words anymore so the emotion and feeling behind them are so diluted now its practically useless. same goes with honor. i have a code of honor that i try to live by. ya know, morals ethics that sorta thing, but everyone here doesnt get it and thinks im simply stupid to, regulate how i act and live. thats why i was so thrilled when they started to use nakama. it brought to mind the full meaning, the raw emotion and feeling connected to that word. heh, i dont have anything other to describe what i think other than emotion and feeling. hehe. so ryuki, where ya at in one peice now?

here's the latest

i sorta hope they do that like in the amazing comics. keep having aunt may trying to hook up mj with peter but he keeps blowing her off. though if you want to be technical, his love interest was liz allen, the blond, not hte hispanic(spectacular cartoon), even tho he keeps saying betty was the first girl he ever loved. then he says that about gwen later. he has girl issues. about the picture posting, it was a semi joke about posting pic's to prove im not talkig out my ear on spidey facts. hehe. sorry again.

ooohh maybe i should of been more clear with that.. i'll clarify. i got the amazing spiderman comics and i can post images of peoples first appearances. like the examples i mentioned in my last post. i didnt actally mean new photos of this movie coming up, cause i have no idea where you people find those! lol. o i just realized something... that post a few pages back describing the movie. it really sounded official, and they kept referring to the comics as teh orginial comic books. does that mean that its going to be based on amazing spiderman instead of the ultimate, which is what everybody is saying its based off of?

i can post pictures if that'll help.

ok great. a spidey thread. im so there. just so ya know, spiderman first defeated sandman by vaccuming him with a vaccum. its in the 1963 or 64. the first appearance of sandman. and so ya know, the stickum powers was first explain in the 60's by him having actual suction cups on his fingers, and yes, they actually drew suction cups for fingers, it was awful. im really glad they redefined that ability. even if they redefined it like, 100 times now. im fine with the suit. even if he does have silver toes and heels. anybody remember seeing the goblin outfit for the first time for the first movie? how many people screamed {Powerrangers}?? and yet, it worked superbly. so even if it seems an eyesore now, im still psyched to see this movie. yeah, i a big spidey fan... i have all the amazing spiderman comics on dvd. off ebay. great deal. runs from the first issue up to the road to civil war. only down side is, it only has the amazing spiderman run!!! around the 80's they started dividing the storylines around the 4 or 5 existing spiderman comic lines. so for late 80's to early 2000's, i only have portions of stories.

o wow... im gone for... ok a while.. but still! bk! you done blew up the topic!! heh. ok so quick update. i have a chance for a job at a company called stion. basically they make solar panels. i went into the other day to take my crc test. its a series of three tests. each an hour long. and you can make either a bronze silver or gold. believe it or not. i made a gold! the first test was Applied or Acquiring informantion. basically you take written information, like orders, and memo's and you skim it for info and answer questions and make descisions off of that. you can score a 3 - 7 on it. i scored a 5. next was Learning information. you use graphs, charts, schedules, and stuff like that to find info. you can score a 3 - 6 on it. and i scored a 5. last was applied mathematics. or however you spell it. not my strong suit. seriously, i took each math class in school twice. but this test was everyday use of math and numbers. um... converting kilos to pounds, kilomter to miles and such like that. you can score a 3 - 7 and shockingly enough, i made a 5! i owe it all to rpgs honest. every time there was a tough question, i scratched my head and then it clicked. "hey!!! i did this last week playing starwars rpg!!! sweet" so being a nerd saved me. lol. so i scored a 5 5 5. a great omen, if you know what that number stands for(rider) and its also one of my favorite riders. if i beleived in omens. the lady administering the test said that she almost never sees anyone score as high as i did on acquiring information. or was it teh second one? oh well, she said that even some paralegals dont score that hi! dude, i felt so freaking special when she said that! they are going to finish testing the other applicants before bring in people for interviews. and they're starting from gold down. so im on the top list! i am a little freaked tho, i never had to do a interview before so its a little nerve wrecking for me. hey bk, congrats on the girls. hey bk, im sorry about the girls. hey bk, did you take a baseball bat with a nail in it to that prankster? or did you sick you ninja monkey lawyers on him???

heh, well, i never said i was perfect oberon. perhaps i bit off more than i can chew, perhaps im distracted with other projects that are more time sensitive. heck sometimes i open up that file take a look, and get discouraged. in which im not sure by, the story atleast to me is sound, so is the way the characters are interacting with each other. i know how to connect each main point of my outline together and its not hard to make it run smooth into the next plot idea. personally tho, im a procrastinator. as for the viewing other peoples stories... i feel bad for this but im a very picky reader. if the summary doesnt catch my eye, then chances are im not gonna read it.. this doesnt count friends stories of course. i skim thru the stories on ffnet whenever my connection is good, which is nearly never now. sad to say, i only have dial up. (which is also why im waiting to finish the story before posting the next chapter) there are tons of stories that are updated that i still havent read, namely a few chronotrigger novelizations. as for leaving reviews for them... even if i loved a story, i find i have a hard time expressing how or why i did, and i'd rather not simply leave a "love your story, hope to see more" to do that seems.. i dunno. cheap somehow. not commenting on others, i just dont feel like im honoring the author if i'd post a remark like that.

err... i never thought that their names where based off of disney! i always thought it was a major coincidence... but now that ya mentioned it, didn't buu come from that lamp thing that the M boys used to drain gohan at the tournament? its been a while since i watched dbz.

well, i guess im pretty guilty of the "stopping". i havent updated my fic at ffnet in ages, and although i make excuses like, i dont have the time, or i hit a block or whatever, im still guilty. i still work on it time to time, i find that if i wait a few weeks after i finish a chapter, there is something i spot i can change to make it better, whether its simple ideas, or even to make it better reading. i do know how im ending it, i even know whats going on in the middle, i just have a hard time putting pictures into words. (i make scenes up like a comic or movie in my head, thats how i write.) so my process is super slow... i also figured that if i kept any finished chapters to myself and start working on the next one with out updating, i'd be more in a hurry to finish up the story, rather than to post and feel tempted to take a break for all my hard worK! that was a joke.

i dont know if you noticed but bibidi is the son of babadi and bibidi made buu. so its bibidi babadi buu.. kinda of a small joke in that. for me, i loved the tournament portion of the buu saga. after that... it got, convaluted? well. boring.

awesome stuff riv! gotta say, i dont know if you watch naruto but your winged girl really reminds me a lot of sasuke.

dude! it always takes me over 4 hours. if you know a faster way, pleaaassseeeeee tell it to me!!! thats why it takes me so long to finish one. i keep going back and forth cause i get so bored and fed up with it. i knew that the way i do things people see it as overly complicated and time comsuming. but its easier for me to focus like that. if someone tries to.. "mold me" in their way of doing things, i get so lost after a few minutes. but once i do it my way, it takes nearly half the time the first attempt did.

uh sure dude. i dont mind. excuse me for asking a (in my mind) a stupid question. an efficient way? i just use photoshop.... of course you could be talking about method. (hence the stupid question part. i am curious, how or what would you call an adaption of a gif? or is this one of those wait and see things? anyways, i posted the individual frames, i didnt bother with all the layers, cause its just duplicates of these. and i didnt worry about the words cause i figured you'd just want to look at the art. i cant post the psd file cause its 1.80+ megabytes. but if you wish i can email you it, that way you can disect the actual process i use, and even offer helpful advice on improving my existing technique and also if im doing something, well... inefficiently. like timing for example. im stealing your word ryuki. (efficient!) heres the last pic.

thanks guys hehe, i was sorta half asleep when i made the last frame... i also made the in betweens last. so.. are you saying that the last form is, not lined up properly, or the last of the transformation shot doesnt match the final aptom porportionally? personally i think its the last. like i said, i wasnt fully awake and it was the first picture of aptom i done. i think when i went back to do the transforming parts, i had a better grasp of what i was doing and what i wanted. still, i thought i fixed it. ryuki, would you want me to send you the individual frame shots?

1 of 3. form 1.

this one is pretty big. i guess i started to work on it with a wallpaper in mind, but after i looked at it finished, im not convinced it would make a good wallpaper after all. plus the color looks a little bland. i think making the glow look more... radiant would do better. just to forwarn everyone who wants to open it up. its about 1000 pixel tall about 900+ across. i needed a small refreshing break from a gif project im workin so i started and finished this in an hour. which surprised me, im kinda slow when it comes to photoshop.

good luck with english... i absolutely abhored all the term papers we were forced to do... stupid english classes.

news update. today a friend gave me a tv. its huge, like 40 inch and weighs over 300 pounds. not exagerating here either. how you ask? well, the tv is an old square tube set. not a flat or wide screen. a true dinosaur relic. and the picture is surprisingly great. now, i have only one qualm... for some reason, the screen will brighten or darken depending on what is being viewed. its slightly frequent, even more so if there is any lettering on screen like sub titles or credits. changing of the source of light in the movie will also trigger a brighten or darken change. i compensated by making the screen brighter so whatever is causing this isnt as sensitive as before, although at times it'll still do it. but this is not a big problem, i often forget its there unless its in a slow part or i get bored. im more confused and intrigued by this than aggiated. now what aggiates me is my dvd/surround sound combo. its a walmart cheep setup. i knew better than to try to use it but i did it anyway. the extra inputs are horrible, the color and sound are both distorted. the actual surround sound volume is not loud at all. at max levels, a person can talk louder than it by barely speaking above the normal inside voice. and the final crushing blow... the dvd player will always, ALWAYS, stall out during a movie. if it'll even play it blasted disc at all. and its not just this indivdual player. this is the third player of the same make an model that i tried. same results. other than that, i had a great day!!!

its been raining pretty bad here as well, i just drove home in the rain. it was clear skies, then all of a sudden, a wall of solid water falls from the sky. then the clear sky, then teh wall of water... i hate rain. holy crap... i'd never though i'd hear about hobby lobby outside of my own state... much less it being mentioned on the internet. um.. thats of course considering that i always thought hobby lobby as a localized store. oh yeah, hey riv. i asked my mom about the yarn washing thing. she said that the indivdual yarn rolls will have the instructions on the label of each roll. i hope that helps.

lol! i love the facial features. wow, Riv... your pretty short! heh jk.
