Quote by eonir@yothsothgoth: Your avatar
tells us everything
Eh? How does my fandom for Trinity Blood say everything about
me?
Please explain that one, I'd love to know exactly what you meant.
Well, it's just that the character on your avatar looks clearly... well...
non-conservative. I can't tell if it's an extremely girly man, or a manly girl
Which suggests that your opinion about 'beautiful' men is clear. And 'beautiful
man'(not just handsome, beautiful) is just an inch from gay

Quote by yothsothgothAh. He's
bishounen. That's what you meant. ^^ Yeah, that's a big thing for women here in
the US. He does look like that though, and I'm sure that's what they were going
for when he was drawn. The fact that they make the guy is so sexy he looks like
a girl... which is kinda weird, but still about as much of a fan base as yaoi
for women or yuri for men. Isn't that a huge cultural thing though in
Japan?
Japan is known for its traditional tolerance for such
things
I'd say it's one of these issues that makes them look similar to ancient
Greece.
Although I'm not a homosexual male, nor a heterosexual female, I have nothing
against bishounen. Of course, when they start to do things I find...
disgusting... I have no choice but to say 'veto'! Yuck. I read somewhere that
two really attractive heterosexual women tend to... attract themselves in a
positive way(without being bi), while two attractive men behave rather like two
bulls trying to kill each other in order to have the harem for themselves. Which
makes yuri more acceptable for the general public than yaoi that features two
bishounen.
Be it a good explanation or just an excuse, it doesn't matter
The fact is, that the old Japanese sexual tolerance is spreading throughout the
world making me feel uneasy when some scary doujins pop out from nowhere.
Nice composition! Very good idea! The vector is nice, although the background
needs some work. First of all, the sea looks like a polished table. It should be
more like a sea.
Oh, and the horizon should be less flat. The World is round(as you probably know
from TV).
Anyway, quite a good work ^^
thank you
well first, i dont watch such programs on tv, i prefer music
though there are things called books, u know?
and 2d, as u probably know from tv, our planet is too big to see its
"roundness"
earth's radius is almost 6,500,000 km and the radius of that wallpaper is like
15m
feel the difference?
lol thank you anyway
Are You telling me that books tell more truth than TV? Well, I read Terry
Pratchett's Discworld novels. Alas, the Discworld is flat, and it's located on 4
huge elephants standing on an even more enormous turtle. That's about it, when
it comes to truth in books :>
I just thought that every kid knows a few basic facts from animated tv shows.
Like the roundness of the Earth. Or that a factory has an obligatory
smoke-stack, or that cats eat mice, and dogs try to do the same with
cats...
Besides, the Earth's radius is not 6,500,000 km as You say, it would be far too
much. It's 6'500 km
The radius of your wall is surely a lot more than 15m, because there seems to be
a boat in the background. And the horizon.
H - height of the observer
D - observer's distance from the horizon, stated in sea miles
Assuming that the observer is about 1.6 metres high, the radius is about 4.9
km
Which is about 326 times more than 15 metres :>
Anyway, it's good to distort the sea, because it gives a better impression. The
human eye, surprisingly, is able to notice even ridiculously small things, so
it's crucial. More importantly, if the sea doesn't look like a sea, why the
horizon is supposed to look exactly like a proper horizon?
By the way:
Notice the sinusoidal gradient of light refraction. Combined with the linear
gradient of brightness, caused by the sun.
Anyway, May Your Mathematical Skills Be of Good Use In Your Life!
And May Your Towel Be Always Warm And Fluffy(Take Four For Four Weeks).

Quote by Dejiko-chanOtoz moja droga
'panno'... 'killed' tez by mogl byc, ale nie w tym znaczeniu co chcialam :P
Jeszcze nie jestem na tyle nierozgarnieta, zeby nie wiedziec, co mam na
mysli.
Nie rozumiem tej 'panny'
A ten 'kill' moze byc co najwyzej cytatem blednego zdania. Czemu? Bowiem 'who'
to zazwyczaj trzecia osoba liczby
pojedynczej, ktorej w czasie Simple Present(ktorego uzylas) dodaje sie koncowke
'-s'.
Oczywiscie, to moze byc liczba mnoga, o ile o ten efekt ci chodzilo :P
Jezyk angielski jest bardziej enigmatyczny niz polski, dlatego by znalezc blad,
musze znac zamierzony sens... W tym wypadku pytasz sie, kto zabija
'Ciebie'(czyli 'you') regularnie i wielokrotnie. Normalny czlowiek ma jedno
zycie(siebie nie testowalem), ale w grach komputerowych jest inaczej. Gdybys w
naglowku wrzucila jakas postac z gry celujaca do odwiedzajacego strone,
watpliwosci by nigdy nie bylo
Mocno sie zdziwilem kiedy dostalem wiadomosc po tylu tygodniach o_O
Nie musialas od razu uciekac sie do zlosliwosci

simple walls too. I don't really like busy ones all that much. I'm a beginner

you have some time, fill your anime list and join a group related to your

As a man, I recommend you the group called Yuri-Lovers
Quote by eonirWell... since Light can not
enter Heaven nor Hell... He'll be either a shinigami, or a zombie

I also think that Light will be a Shinigami. But a zombie? That would be funny!

Quote by eonirI had a theory of how the
series will end:
Light finally discovers L's real name, thanks to the help of Miss Kira2... he
writes his name... L dies. But, the Death Note shortens the life span of its
owner, so Light also Dies before becoming the second L
Unfortunately, a friend of mine read many spoilers and said that it will not be
that funny
There are 12 volumes of DN manga so far... wikipedia tells us that in the 13th
Volume L will tell his real name... but still, I can't force myself to read the
manga - that would spoil me the anime series :/
I've already read the 12 volumes before the anime started. There are some chapters I don't like (after someone's death). It's a bit
boring and tiring to read them and I don't like the end. I'm a Yaoi-Fan and my
favourite couple is Light X L! But
this couple is impossible.
Since I'm not a yaoi fan, or even a girl, the mere imagination of LxL is
disgusting for me ;-)
You know, when you read a manga, you could most likely like a character like
L... but I'm pretty sure that if you saw a person of his kind, it would not be a
pleasant meeting :>
The same goes to Light. He is cold-hearted, calculating, selfish, and deadly
bored In the real world, we may hate this kind of people, but it's hard
not to like someone who is the main character of a great series ;-)

This idea of puzzles fits the series
Thanks for sharin'!

I suggest you make an anime version when more episodes appear, giving you some
materials. You can also smoothly colour some puzzles to give it more life
Thanks for comment. =)
Hm, I like the idea, maybe I will use it later. Though I dunno how I should work
out manga panels with anime screenshots since I want to have Near and Mello in
it. But it gives me some interesting challenge. =)) Though sadly I have problems
with codecs and I can't take screenshots. More challenges, I guess
I had the same problem with codecs
1. Install CCCP
2. Using Media Player Classic, take screenshots("File>Save
Image")
3. Most likely you will see a frightening error message. Thanks to google, the
solution can be found simply by typing the message in the search bar. Go to View

Quote by eonirWhat
can I say: Simply impressing
You had a brilliant idea("do not fav this"). Many people fell for that
trick and favoured this. Well, I will not fall and do what's written (being
obedient in order to be diobedient?
i don't know very well... but if you said, didn't fave it... them fave it!, and
when you said fave it, they didn't fave it!... and if you didn't said nothing...
they only fave it!... well... i's like more the comments!
thanks for the comment!

this is a great userpage! ...oh, you are from poland! you know about one band
named moonlight?
Well, I happen to know about that group
Although I'm not a great fan of trip rock... but I like almost every kind of
good music - it does not matter if it's power metal, pop, classical...
everything depends on my mood xD.

do you know about another good band of poland? (any music...
^^)
There are of course some good bands and artists ^^, like Blue Cafe(they sing
many songs in English, since many of their fans are Irish and English Clubbers
xD), Marcin Rozynek, Michal Lorenc, Grzegorz Turnau, Marek Grechuta... Lately
I've been listening to Tu Es Petrus with its leader, Piotr Rubik
Setting aside polish bands, I discovered (when it was Xmas) Billy Idol
("God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen") and I even enforced my colleagues to
sing it during the School-Xmas-Eve
Quote by mentisIt's been a while since
I've heard from you, how have you been?
Hope the holidays went well for you, so I guess a belated Merry Christmas :P.
And an on time Happy New Year's as well .
Thank you for the wishes (I'm
writing this during a hurricane
)
While it's 6 o'clock in Poland, you will be counting seconds to the new year
Anyway, Happy New Year!
I looked up some satelite weather
maps for Poland and it does look like you've had some pretty intense weather.
But, I have to tell you that it wasn't a hurricane :P. I know it's been raining
like crazy over there though. I'll have to speak with my family in Wroclaw and
ask them how they're doing.

In the Beaufort scale, the highest wind-speed category is called
"hurricane" :> (110 kmph)Since Central Europe is quite far from the
Ocean, by "hurricane" I mean "not typhoon"
Anyway, the wind destroyed many power lines in the north part of the country,
but not mine. That's some luck for the New Year I suppose
Now it'll be a week of headaches
Wow, that's pretty crazy. Yeah, we heard from my family in
Wroclaw and they said the same thing. I can't believe such weather is coming to
Poland! Damn global warming and the republicans of this government . If the North Atlantic Current is going to fail (as it has been) then this
kind of weather may become the norm .
A few years ago I saw a program on Discovery about how to stop the effects of
anthropopression and global warming... One of the ideas was to build enormous
dams on the oceans 0_0. According to my comprehension Poland lies in the area of
calm weather... if such things are happening here, then let's pray for a belated
Armageddon
