I liked the movie for the battle bits in it, (Like what Shizashi did) I thought those were cool, but I got the connection with "Taking Land." (So I looked at my friend and said, "You took my land." He could not stop laughing. {16th Choctaw})

That happen with my teacher and me during black history class, basically i'm a walking contradiction (like that scottish-korean starburst commerical). Like ashkachan I'm charokee on my mother side and navaho indian on my father side. i'm also mix with black, hungrian, and portuguese

And as my self-improvement goes i'm going to job the American Corp. which, is like Green Peace except they go to the poorest regions within America

You sound just like my friend. XD He said exactly the same thing, well with a little twist, its was a re-make of Pocahontas and 8 feet tall smurfs.

The fights were pretty good, but in 3D I think it would've given me a headache. (I get headaches easily, bad sinuses and such.) But the plot was... just too overdone for my likeing. I dunno, maybe I like Pixar's films too much. xD

Though, recently I did watch The Last Airbender and felt like I needed to punch M. Night for ruining a good cartoon series.

As for my self improvement? Um... I have no idea what I'm typing about. xD; Maybe for improving on scanning? I only recently began scanning, but I'm already improving. It helps if you know your way around PhotoShop. xD

I never did bother to watch it in 3D, in matter of fact, all 3D films give me a headache the size of Mars.

The previews for Avatar looked good, but I'm a little skeptical about it.
Well that's gone and said, lets move everything to Self-improvement.
We Got Working out, American Corp and Improving scan skills. (I need to scan my things too, I have alot of good photos I need to share with the people of Moe.imouto.org)

My self-improvement dream would be to become a better Side-scroller Shooter Player.

I also would like to improve on my drawing skills.

Well i wish everyone good luck on improving themselves and their skills

ashkachan said:
Nope. I didn't like it at all. xD I thought that was pretty obvious by the advil in my sentence.

I wasn't that mad (I'm actually a 8th Charokee), but it is a blant rip-off of Pocahontas. The animated movie that is.

Look at it this way, if you get completely drunk or stoned out of your mind, you MIGHT just like Avatar.

the movie kinda reminds me of the atlantis animated movie too... military goes to new world to find resources... discovered that the resources they were looking for was the alien race's life source... and you know the rest... although i remember a friend of mine showed me a video about how avatar is the same as the "aliens" movie... it was quite funny... although i don't know the link to it... made me laugh about the humans living in the smurfy cats, and chest bursters living in humans...

self improvement huh

maybe try to go outside for more then just getting food...

are you still into playing star trek online?... it's not healthy to immerse yourself into online games though... although i didn't say it's bad, but try to keep a daily schedule of stuff to do... so that you won't end up using the day doing one thing...

you go to conventions right?... um... you do go out and meet other people right?...

well... going out of the house aside from getting food is a start... going out with friends is much better...

Debbie said:
Aha. Does artistic improvement counts?
The tutorials I found today are helping me, eh.
So, how about you guys?

(the outside world... is tough... dealing with people on live is much harder than online)

artistic improvements... i remember someone taught me about flipping the drawing upside-down and mirror-ing it would help you see the imbalances as wel as the image's cognitive capability...

well... dealing with hackers and cyber bullies are tougher for me...

i like playing contra "the hard corps" in my megadrive 2... well... you could could play the metal slug series... fun... funny... and challenging... of course the best thing i like about these games is that it's a two-player game without you having to fighter the second player...

ah... i remember a simple doujin game... where the players have to defend themselves from mobs of random enemies... was it muvluv?... i'm no familiar with this title though...

drawing... like debbie san... the most useful thing i can advice to you is the same one i said to debbie...

But I am a total noob on it.

Thank you for the tip Natsume Natsu!
SAI has an useful button to do that.
This site itself is the best way I have found of improving art.

you're welcome... IaMP?... what's that?...

You're not much of a Touhou fan right natsume?

IaMPImmaterial and Missing Power (known as Suimusou) is Touhou 7.5.
The first Touhou 2D Fighting Danmaku game.

Hahah.
I need to play and get better at the Touhou games, well, I guess I'm good at 12.3. I need to get better at Shoot The Bullet and Double Spoiler. That's something I can improve on. I can't get the general Strategy down but I summed it up as best as I could.could, Get a picture of the Spell Circle and get take pictures of bullets.

Self-improvement?

You mean, like, attaching a Gunslinger to yourself?

Why do some people like to celebrate Christmas when it's actually July?

That's just stupid. Why do they exactly think it's, 'child porn' when most of America's porn mags are worse? Raaugh.

oh... immaterial and missing power... no... i haven't played the game...

honestly... the touhou games i've played are... subterranean animism... undefined fantastic object... scarlet weather rhapsody... and unthinkable natural law...

although i wouldn't count IaMP as a danmaku game...

Debbie said:

well, playing the touhou fighting games is a test of patience as the difficulty level rises...

the easy mode is for entertainment...

normal mode is to familiarize yourself from the enemy's patter...

hard mode adds extensions to the enemy attacks (this is where you start being patient)...

lunatic mode is where you really have to be patient... grazing enemy attacks with just the right amount of bullets while dealing a very small damages on them... if you're lucky.. you can count on your spell cards when you found an opening... although this also requires a clever arrangements of spell cards and good use of the limited continues...

the new boss system in unthinkable natural law is somewhat harder since you have to guard-break them in order to deal substancial damage...

um... i didn't check the link... but if you're talking about this site... i don't think moe is about child pornography...

well... real child sexual abuse is very different from what i've seen here... so far...

although... there are a lot of explicit images here that i disagree... but i don't think it's in syc with how a real-life pedo thinks...

maybe that's what they meant by having christmas everyday... christmas usually is a sad season for me...

I know this isn't part of the subject but I didn't want to make a new forum, but 75% of all Touhou images after page 390 are not labeled and its driving me insane. (Busy editing tags.)

AZD-A9S said:

Um, different Region? Oh I see what the question is now. I thought It was a riddle. (Like it's Summer from some countries but it's Christmas time.)

I laughed so hard, but then became mad. This is a stupid idea and if you want to read more, you may. Caution: a long paragraph. I can't stand to look at pr0n mags that are made in the U.S. or even with real people. Anime and Hentai gives it that extra imagination to the reading and looking world of what is pr0n and Hentai. I'll admit, I have a few of these magazines. Though at the time I was looking though it and admiring the pictures then came upon the Hentai, plus my Dad was looking with me. Everything became a little awkward and my Dad said it was nothing to worry about. (I was reading something a while back and this reminded me of it, they were going to ban Loli magazines from some country and lots of people said it would increase molestation within the country. I'm not sure if they passed it or not.) I'm not sure what I'm getting at, maybe it's "Better Anime then a real child."

Yeap, you summed it up very well there,
and nahh, its just an image-board for Anime, the best image board around that I have seen, I've seen some pretty bad sites and I will never venture on the boards again because I have been scarred,
very true,
not any of my business but why are you sad during Christmas?

I'm not quite sure what I just read but:

ashkachan said:

If there are "loli" inside those magazines, I can see why they think that. Give it some thought.
If there are no "loli" in them, then it's weird.

I'm with the definitely-not-pedos on this one. There's no nudity involved, and almost certainly no risquAY posing, so at most it's basically the manga version of what you get by taking a stroll on the beach.

...Then again, that counts as softcore porn in the US, so...

I guess Japan and US would be opposites to each other?

ashkachan said:

The point is about CP, not how extreme some magazines can get. That understanding is needed comparing b/t the two.

Bla bla bla rantCome on, those are manga magazines. MANGA magazines, not child magazines. USA publishers probably have some kind of hidden interest onto canceling them, and they are now giving this terrible and non-sense excuse to justify their act.

Bla bla bla continuationThis is ridiculous. Most people who buy these magazines are harmless. Look at the otaku type. Do you really think an otaku who buys Dengeki Moeoh is a real pedo? Real pedos doesn't buy Dengeki Moeoh. Real pedos abuse innocent child, take pictures and films, spread over the net, and using the internet get more pedo material. It's totally different from a Dengeki Moeoh usual buyer.

TouhouIaMP is different, yes. I can only play using Patchouli. If I trade characters, I can't even do a jump and I'm hit. I suppose I play the "wrong" way with Patchouli. Patchy's combos on the internet are way more beautiful than my way of playing. I can only play while I'm distant from the oponent... Man, the story mode spellcards on Lunatic are really tough. What character do you use, AZD? And Natsu.

Self-rantI should be drawing instead of playing Touhou...

Oh, BTW, are you enjoying Para-sol?
I hope so. It looks pretty! Did anyone understand the storyline?

im... mastering all characters... the best one i can use is sakuya... patchouli has some melee attacks that can bully an opponent... don't get fooled by patchouli's range... most of her attacks are more effective in close combat... as you can see... patchouli has less stun-time between her ranged attacks... which means these are connectable combos in close range...

Um...I can't really say Debbie. I was just playing for the Story mode and completing all Character's Story. I done that and now currently on SWR. I already beat 12.3's Story Mode since there's only 3 Characters that has Story Mode.

I don't really have anybody around me to play against.

I can say I can use Patchouli & Suika on Normal mode (Others on Shameful Mode) and complete it without continuing. So I'm better with Patchouli & Suika. I do like Marisa...only because of that famous Beam attack.

HAHA~

Well Sayori is getting ready to release her newest art collection book. Hoping this time I'll be here when the scans appears to post a few on Danbooru. I just love me some Sayori artwork. Her brother is pretty cool as well.

Don't know if I should laugh or cry at that comment. I usually have bad luck when it comes to this kind of thing so I'm getting a bad feeling about it. Hopefully I'm lucky enough that when those scans come out, I could at least post the one's with Komachi, Kanako, and maybe that Aya&Momiji picture. By what I seen those samples they look rather promising. Actually I kinda wish I could buy the book itself and then I could cherish it for some time. Her stuff is unbelievable

BTW, did anyone know that her bigger brother is Ideleo and that he has a girlfriend who also goes on Pixiv?
