  1. Have those Star Wars novel been invalidated due to the release of episode 1-3? I remember reading somewhere that after the release of those three movies, a lot of the other star wars media have been treated as unofficial. Or were they only talking about stories that takes place before episode 4?
  2. I find the Silmarillion to be funny, because it contained all three volumes of the Lord of the Rings novel in just a few pages. Great read though. Also, Dune, best scifi book I've read, but somewhat disappointed that it wasn't finished by frank herbert himself. I haven't read the last 2 book written by his son as I find that he strayed too far from the concept of his father.
  3. Catcher in the rye, a fine book it is. I have a copy gracing my bookshelf. I've read a lot of books but by far, my favorite is Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Currently I'm reading Game of Thrones book 5, a Dance with Dragons. To anyone who's waiting on the HBO series, dare not cross me, or I will tell you who dies next. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
  4. I think the Gigantic would be a different matter, since it is a combination of the navigational sphere, Ark as well as Shou's imagination. I'm leaning towards that the control medal having a defined limit on how much it can be customized. I'm starting to think that with Shou having acquired the Navigational sphere and the cells of the Ark, the gigantic has somehow turned into the Deus Ex Machina. Unlike before, although we are fascinated by what the G-unit can do, it is still confined to certain limits.
  5. Do what? Watch it this early? Simple really, went to the local mall, bought the tickets and saw the movie. hehehe. Anyway, I might come off as biased since Captain America is my favorite marvel hero. But I really liked the movie, but not as much as the first one. As I mentioned, there were less emotional moments and more action. Even the shocking reveal (it's actually expected if you follow the comics) didn't have that heart felt punch. They did put in a lot of characters, and for a cap fan like me, it's like fan service. Watching the movie I go, "hey that was this guy, and he was that guy, oh, that guys going to be this guy". I think they planted a lot of potential future story lines in this movie.
  6. Galaxy Supernova by Girls Generation: If you don't like the music, the video is at least nice on the eyes.
  7. Hmm... am I the only one who's happy about this chapter? Perhaps it's the fact that there is little to translate that I'm ok with it? Still, the question remains as how Aptom can make use of the Guyvers power. Did he absorb a few cell, and with sho's consent, the armor didn't counter it? If that is so, does this mean Aptom would now have the Guyver's power? Or would aptom now be struggling over control over his body against the boost creature? Hmm.... so many questions.

    Naruhodo. Wow Ryuki, that's a lot of stuff to take in. I hadn't realize that aside from your social challenges, you also have those emotional stuff you have to deal with. I can't pretend to understand what you are going through right now, but I do know that you're going to deal with it head raised and still come out on top. Since your half way around the world, the only thing I can give you right now are words of encouragement. "Don't worry about those who talk behind your back, they're behind you for a reason."
  9. Everyone. Drop it. Just drop your pants and start getting jiggy with it. [God Mode] I think with my tenure, seniority, influence as well as total contribution (and I'm willing to bet 99% of the people here have no idea just how big a part I have in this board), I can throw my weight around here. I find no fault in disagreements on opinions, but I will not tolerate any attack on the integrity of any of the individual members. In my authoritarian eyes, both parties are at fault. One party being lacking sensitivity and the other party being overly sensitive. These two attributes does not mix well together. Both parties should re-evaluate their position before further posting. I hereby order the cease and desist of any discussion pertaining to the personal issues and move forward to the topic of the chapter itself. This is my final decree, or by the powers vested in me by a higher authority, I will shut this thread down as well as any material related to it. [/God Mode] Huh? Wait. Wut? Did I blank out again?
  10. I'm seeing a lot of love for the Maximoff siblings from Disney, but a lot of hate from the Fox's version. Though I don't remember the Scarlet witch ever joining the X-men. But she was part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
  11. Oh, did I mention that Kill la Kill has lots of jiggly boob action?
  12. A big climax must be awaiting us next chapter. I'm sure that Mr. Takaya is aware that many people would be disappointed in what he did in this chapter. Be as it may, the pictures alone would certainly be disappointing to most of the readers. That is, If they didn't understand the dialogue. However, let me do shed some light on this chapter that many of you may find interesting. A conversation between Aptom and Shou involves them borrowing each others power. Sho asks Aptom if he could borrow Hayami's power. Then Aptom responds that his physical power is not enough and asks to borrow the Guyver's power. Now, how do you supposed they can do that when all along we thought that Aptom was merely enveloping the Guyver? Let the discussion begin.
  13. X3 was god awful. Come on, phoenix force and all it took was adamantium thru the gut? Not to mention a lot of unnecessary death. That's probably the worst X-men movie I've seen.
  14. Just saw it tonight on opening day. Awesome and wicked. They combined several plotlines from the comics to make this movie and I'm impressed. Although it didn't quite have the emotional moments like it had in the first movie, this movie really did pack a whole lot of action. I won't say anything more since I willing to bet nobody's in this board has seen it yet. If you're watching this, there are 2 after credits scene, as typical of marvel. Rewarding you with additional scenes for sitting through the credits.
  15. Would it be strange for me to expect witty dialogue from Bolivar Trask?
  16. Three Chinese brothers named Bu, Chu and Fu migrated to USA. They decided to change their name : Bu became Buck Chu became Chuck. Fu decided to go back to China .
  17. While you're at it, why not pin the "tribute to asian women" thread? Nobody seems to post anything much there but it sure gets a lot of traffic.
  18. Yes! It's showing this Wednesday, March 26! Not sure if I should brave the rush hour traffic just to see it on the first day or stave off until the weekend and fight it out with the weekend viewers.
  19. I guess conquest is still pretty prevalent in modern times. But instead of forceful army rushing in to seize the land, top nations are now resorting to political means to seize and annex lands, using diplomatic and economic pressures as their main weapons. China is currently doing it and I guess Russia is as well.
  20. Clash of Clans! This is probably the closest MMO that I am currently playing.
  21. Safe? Don't put anything you don't want anybody to know about online. The way I see it, the people who are concerned about their privacy being breached, they are the ones doing it to their selves. People post everything in facebook, and then complain about their privacy? Now that's funny. You are right about firewalls. Heck, I don't even have an anti-virus in my PC. I have zero presence online. I don't have facebook or any of those social media apps. The only presence I have online, is the persona that I created specifically for internet usage. I am that paranoid, and it seems that my paranoia paid off with all these NSA spying issues.
  22. Have you seen it? It does bring that magical feeling Disney used to make me feel. The song is about Liberation, so I guess a lot of kids can relate to it. Heck, my daughter is practically singing this every chance she gets, and keeps bugging me to watch it on my phone whenever we're outside. After a certain time, it gets catchy, and I find myself singing to it as well.
  23. This seems to be pretty popular nowadays.
  24. Kill La Kill. Snubbed this series earlier because I didn't think they could duplicate what made Gurren Lagann so great. Guess I was wrong.
