There's a new convention coming to Charlotte, NC in January, known as IchibanCon. It's a brand new convention, so it'll probably be a bit small at first. First confirmed guest is Vic Mignogna of Fullmetal Alchemist and Full Metal Panic! fame.

Grah! Darn you, Sieer for having a whole 20 more movies than me! D: I'll catch up to you yet!

Okay, Deviants!

I've [finally] seen the new Transformers movie, and I must say that I don't see any validation for the reasons behind your whining.

Personally, I saw nothing wrong with this movie, and is a complimentary addition to the Michael Bay Transformers trilogy(?).

You said that the first movie didn't have enough action, that it didn't have enough ROBOTS that the story was slow. Now you say that the story is slow when there are no robots, that there's "too much action" (lolwut?), that Michael Bay's a racist. You people are TOO DAMN PICKY. If you want a movie with everything you want, MAKE IT YOUR OWN DAMNED SELF.

As for the Twins, Skidz and Mudflap, the reason why they are portrayed the way they are has been explained in the first movie: What they learned about Earth culture, they got from the INTERNET. Yes, the almighty interwebz. TAKE THAT, WHINY BEESHES! *huff* *puff*

And, why why WHY...would you believe this story is SLOW? Even when there aren't Transformers on-screen, there's STILL plently to be captivated about. You're all just too damned picky, and need to be more open-minded.

"Television viewers knew him as the OxiClean guy: the bearded, boisterous pitchman on commercials airing hundreds of times a week nationwide. "Hi. Billy Mays here," he would begin, before showing off his latest cleaning product or gadget.

Family, friends and colleagues mourned Mays, 50, who was found unresponsive in his Tampa home Sunday, and awaited an autopsy to determine the cause of his sudden death. The coroner's office expected to have the autopsy done by Monday afternoon.

Police said Mays told his wife he didn't feel well when he went to bed Saturday night. Earlier in the day, he said he was hit on the head when his airliner had a rough landing at Tampa Bay's airport.

But the airline said no passengers reported any serious injuries, and Mays himself cheerfully recounted the landing for a local TV station. His wife, Deborah, found him unresponsive Sunday morning.

Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said linking Mays' death to the landing would "purely be speculation." She said Mays' family members didn't report any health issues with the pitchman, but said he was due to have hip replacement surgery in coming weeks."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is but an excerpt of the article found here: [link]

This is a heartbreaking loss for many a fan, for he was one of the greatest, most talented, most enthusiastic pitchmen out there. To tell you the truth, he was my idol.

It is with great regret that I pay my respects to the Mays family, and I wish you peace in this turbulant time.

Okay, so around March, Ashley and I decided to get an Xbox 360. With it, we purchased Halo 3 and Soul Calibur 4. Both of which are great games, personally, I believe SC4 is better, just because I like fighting games.

My standing on Halo 3:
Story is too short, and the cliffhanger is too absurd. I feel the release of the game was rushed, due to the overwhelming number of reaction glitches I've found in multiplayer. AND THERE IS NO FUNCTION TO REPORT SOMEONE FOR FUCKING TEABAGGING! It's a disgusting, distasteful thing, and shows just how immature one can be with the power of anonymity.

Anyway, I decided to buy us both the Legendary and Mythic map packs, both of which are alright.

We decided today to try to find the skulls hidden in the Mythic maps. The ones on Orbital and Assembly were a cinch to obtain. Sandbox: MOST TERRIFYING EXCPERIENCE EVER!

The skull was located outside of the map's boundaries, and if you've played Halo before, you know that the "Guardians" keep you from getting too far. In Forge, I built this LONG ASS tunnel to shield us from the Guardians' "laz0rz", and the whole time, they're pelting down on the thing, raining fucking fireballs of DOOM. Took about an hour and a half to even get to the skull. Two seconds to pick it up. I was lucky I was even going in the right direction.

Anyway, great experience, skulls are a YES. And I plan on having nightmares tonight about Guardians raining perpetual fire down on my ass for going outside the boundaries of life.

Kookookajoo and a good day to YOU;
Lee a.k.a. Otty
