Welcome to Gaia! ::

@Morgey - I had not, though I'm noticing I forgot to finish my sentence in that last post, it was supposed to conclude with I, as in "I am, am I?" and be all...oh whatever, I failed ~_~.

I know right? I can't help it though, I'm so argumentative, hehehe.

Totally it is!

Well I'm rewatching my Invader Zim DVDs rather than doing things that might be more practical and school related...soooooooo I think you can guess my vote.

@Kits - Thank you...^_^

Well Twilight does have werewolves, except not really, because at the end you find out they aren't werewolves, though at least that makes sense because they are so obviously wrong. However you are just forced to expect sparklepire as canon, hahahaha. Anyhow I've always been into the whole vampire/immortality thing, so that's no hard stretch for me to understand. Pretty much Legacy of Kain sealed that for me. Also I tend to prefer my men hairless, save for on top of the head...so furry people just aren't going to do it for me at all. I love the idea of immortality, endless expanses of time in which to read anything and everything and learn language after language after language. However I do like daytime, so I'd kinda wanna lean more along something like Kain, whereas the sun weakens him but it doesn't kill him. So I could go for a picnic I should just avoid daytime battles ^_~. Also, as far as Twilight goes, they aren't vampires to me. Sparklepires are something separate entirely, not something necessarily dislikeable, but not my vamps at all razz

Well that's pretty much what I said, people who are into Nintendo now were into it back in the day, it doesn't as much attract a new audience. Except on the basis of interactive games. Anyhow most of the people I know who originally bought the console did it either because (a) it's only competition originally was Sega and (b) for Mario. I think Mario is a bigger cult game, again because it's more of a social game. You would be one of the few people I know who got it for Zelda originally.

I like the graph...^_^

But it's not about the plot or characters, maybe the characters a bit. The plot is ridiculous, it's not what makes them so fun. I dunno, Meyer's is nutty and not a classically "good" writer, but she's an "interesting" writer, hahaha. Anyhow yea, if you're not interested you aren't interested, tis fine.

tbh, at first i thought that season 3 was going to be rubbish because i was also very depressed about the new characters, but its acctually amazing. a lot better then i expected it to be, i like effy but i hate the way she treats cook and freddie :/
haha, same :L i fancy all of them except anwar and chris is very yum. how can you not like him :L michelle is a tart.. she needs to make up her mind between sid and tony..
but yeah anyway, watch season 3 soon cos season 4 just started xD

I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT WHAT TO SAY.

Oi. >=[

I knew that was what had happened, but saying any more than "oi" would've required some degree of literacy and cba.

I'll have some awesome things to say about that at some point. =D

Haha, she wasn't even that puzzled at why I'm making her have a conversation with someone she's never spoken to. =D

And by she I mean I, and by never spoken to, I mean has spoken to a fair bit.

@JK: Shapeshifters interest me, but what really fascinates me about werewolves more (or any kind of lycansthropes) is the need to transform. Like in my favorite book series, Kelley Armstrong writes werewolves somewhat more like the ones in Twilight, where they're human-like beings who transform completely into wolves. However, the curse can still be spread through bites, werewolves can still go out of control when transformed and kill people, they need to learn to control when and where they change, and they still have to transform I think around once every one or two weeks, or eventually their body will force them. They also have it effect their human lives as well, where they have insanely increased appetites, have a better sense of smell and hearing (though not as good as when they're actual wolves), and they're far stronger than normal humans. To me, all of those rules and urges and need to control, that's what makes werewolves interesting, not the fact that they become half human, half wolf. I mean, I'm actually kind of with you on that one; the harryness often isn't very attractive at all. XD
While I can definitely see one getting by through only making friends with immortals, it was just suck to have to limit yourself so much. What if the few other immortals you meet are assholes? Or you just don't have similar interests? What if there's a big fight and you don't talk to them for a couple centuries? There's just too much drama and change in our relationships that it would be confining to only make friends with other immortals, yet if you do make friends with mortals, you'll eventually lose them. So yeah, I'll definitely take being a mortal. XD Way less scary for me.
Oh, yes, WoW has an insane fanbase, totally forgot about them. XP I generally don't include them when comparing console games so much, because it's not so much based on the traditional plot and character concept, but more on gameplay with other real life people. They're just so different, they almost seem like different forms of entertainment. And as for Halo? It has a healthy fanbase, but that's already starting to die out now that other FPS are coming out. I kind of feel it was just a fad for a few years, and is now merely a popular game, not quite in league with games like Final Fantasy when it comes to cult following. Fair enough that you feel Zelda doesn't have so much originality anymore. However, because it already has the popularity to back it up in budget, I do feel it tends to have higher quality gameplay, etc. than most games who use the same type of formula. Oukami is the only exception I can think of, but then again, that was different enough in its own right to not be considered a Zelda knockoff. Oh, and don't worry hun, you're really not missing out much with Final Fantasy. The characters are almost always stale and repetitive; emo hero, Mary Sue lead female, pretty villain, tough but dorky secondary character, etc. There will occasionally be some awesome characters, but I've found most of the strength of that series is more in the story than anything. I'm sure many fans of FF would argue with me on that point though. Don't think FF has novels, but I agree that the Halo ones don't sound very interesting. ^^;; A first person shooter needs to be pretty amazing for me to like it. Only ones I've found I like so far are Left 4 Dead, Bioshock, and Dead Space.

Ah, see, I love that out-of-controlness that werewolves have. X3 It's just so much fun watching them angst over it and such. Like with Lupin, I wish there would've been more developed on him and his werewolf form. Maybe I'm more of a masochist then, wanting to be controlled over do the controlling. XD
Yeah, I think vampires kind of help with that undying dilemma, that they can still choose to die. I wouldn't want a lot of those choices though. XP Vampires are cool and hot in their own way, but not something I would ever want to be.
Though the gameplay is far more important to me than say... the premise of an anime series (as we discussed earlier, the characters are the main selling point for I believe both of us in that), I still think characterization is at least equally important, which is why I am able to get into some FPS if the characterization is good enough. Like with Left 4 Dead, characters are awesome and hilarious and fun, plus the gameplay is unique for a FPS, so it actually makes it fun to play, even though I still suck at it. XD I think games like that have the potential to last out into a cult following, but not so much repetitive ones like Halo; it just got overtaken by better games that perfected its formula too quickly. As for cut scenes, as long as they add to the characters and storyline and don't happen suuuper often (like in Xenosaga, oh god), I'm usually okay with them.
Haha, Donkey Kong is so not a huge game anymore. XD Ah, but if you don't want to play the Zelda games, but are interested in the characters, then maybe try reading the manga? You can find them all online (unless they got taken down since they've been licensed here recently), and they're pretty short; usually one volume per game, though sometimes two. They're a bit rushed and sometimes kind of confusing if you don't know the games, but it does a good job on characterizing everyone, and gives you what you need to know for the storyline. Plus the art is gorgeous for most of them.

And I tend to prefer angsting/shamed characters. <3 I mean, just look at Jounouchi! XD And I can definitely see the angry/vengeful in Kaiba, so it works for both of us! =D
Yay for the manga!
Lawl, you double posted! *proceeds to point and laugh obnoxiously*
