    I can't remember, but cheers - I'll try that one. The one I was reading started off with a kid who charmed goats lol. Uhh, that's propably it When I first read Tales of the Earthsea I didn't really like them, I only got halfway through the first book. Few years passed and I tried them again. And they were aaaawesome
  5. Awesome, but I think Alanis Morisette video is even better
  6. I watched the vid, definetly chubby but not "mad fat" meaning she should've noticed something.
  7. What the hell. What kind of stupid, irresponsible human being doesn't notice she is pregnant for that long time. Ugh, I'm actually worried about kid.
  8. TA, that's worst drunk post you've ever made edit: Cleared my PM folder up and getting angsty. It's ****ing New Year Eve and I'm lurking in forums. New bottom? *sigh* Damn dumb**** ****! Anyway, happy New Year guise, forecast for 2008 predicts Bethesda's Fallout 3, wars and disasters. Hope you enjoy the ****ride
  9. before you guys start accusing me of believing everything this article said: I didn't read it yet Just some bits here and there
  10. Shiro Sagisu - Pleasure Principle Apart from name... ehh, never heard of it. That Sagisu is one damn bastard, he must've made thousands of songs during his career if merely NGE has this many... And he seems to be composer on every 3th anime I've heard of
  11. Imagine posting this on some liberal websites, newsgroups etc.
  12. Oh great, my search for one song lead me to download 9 gig worth of music - damn you NGE and GAINAX Let's see... 2nd Impression 10th Anniversary Addition Best Collection Death Death and Rebirth OST 1 Death and Rebirth Singles End of Evangelion End of Evangelion single (originals) End of Evangelion singles (10 years mix) Refrain (Songs Inspired by Evangelion) Refrain of Evangelion S2 works Symphonic CD1 Symphonic CD2 The Birthday of Rei Ayanami (!!!!!)

  13. Ahh... this shall be great source of lulz
  14. wow, no new posts in two days

    I guess there was fatal crash of teh internets in sweden

  15. Also, the tapeplayer is there! Yay! :D If anything this movie shows how great director Kazuya Tsurumaki has become. Actually that isn't true, he showed that with FLCL already, but point stands
  16. You can be sure of that It's actually quite alarming and sad that apart from Ergo Proxy this Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0 has been (heck, half of it) best thing that has come out recent years in anime (I've yet to see 5 Centimeters Per Second though) And a lot of it is picture to picture recreation of original series! Though not in magnitude I thought it would be. But yeah, it really was that great. Pacing, overall cinematography, new music etc. is just wonderful. And one can't not to be awed by animation quality. Not even 3D elements got too bad/dominating apart from one scene. All the original seyuus are back. Now, I know people praise e.g Cowboy Bebop and its cast (rightly so) but personally I've yet to meet performance which thriumphs Megumi Ogata as Shinji and Hayashibara as Rei. Rest of the cast is superb too (next I'd rank Misato and Gendo) and it really wouldn't be eva without them. To be exact what I've seen is recreation of Episodes 5 & 6 (directed by Hideaki Anno). Those were "the" episodes of first part of the series and are well example of Hideaki Anno's skill at more normal/usual storytelling and directing abilities (others would be of course eps 8-9 and his older works like Nadia and presumably Gunbuster which I haven't yet seen). However, I never was that much fan of whole Operation Yashima and Ramiel. Ramiel damn straight was one of the coolest looking angels and basically flying fortress, but it didn't feel that much of a threat. Sure, most powerful angel so far, but you just knew Shinji'll snipe him down eventually, tt was just sixth episode! This time he really, really boils Shinji in first encounter... and stuff later on I also knew that Anno wasn't too happy with how Yashima turned out in TV-series. Because of limitations of budget and all he had to reduce it's epicness quite a bit. In movie that epicness is bumped UP from that original vision Suffice to say that's now one of my favourite fight scenes ever. Last time anime envoked such feelings within me was when I watched end of Cowboy Bebop for the very first time. It's that great. Unless first half is terrible suckage I'll be giving this 5/5 and title of best-movie-of-the-year-I-have-seen-this-year-apart-from-Pan's-Labyrinth. And it's not just the fanboy within me I guess, this movie has been doing very well in Japan. First time I saw Lilith and Terminal Dogma was one of those kodak moments. If Terminal Dogma had been like in Rebuild back then I'd be like certain crazed arab from Lovecraft's fiction, sheesh :D
  17. But it's fantasy!
  18. Shiro Sagisu - Crime of Innocence
  19. In general I don't give much crap about rumours but this one does have certain credibility. Why? It's been rumored that EA's CEO is huge fan of Jade Empire
  20. Did Shivering Isles have one, hmh...
  21. Sand's obsession with laws, "justice" and righteous acts never ceaces to irk me. But here I think this would be quite neat solution - and lulzy. Especially if going with 25 year service like romans did Of course, it's depatable if military is really right place to put immigrants but really, making America one huge Vault City has certain humor in it
