So my boyfriend introduced me to this game called Star Wars: KotOR.  I am only on the third planet but I have been having massive amounts of fun with it.  It's a completely new Star Wars story with new characters (but they still mention characters from the movies).  It's an action RPG so you get to pick your starting class and allocate your skills and feats and what not.  I made a girl Scout / Jedi Guardian.  She is mostly light side but I gave her two red light sabers (they look really cool).  [spoiler]Once you get to Dantooine you can go into a crystal cave and get purple, yellow, green, blue or red crystals to put into your sabers.[/spoiler]

It's actually a relatively old game that was first released on the original Xbox/PC but I just now got around to playing it, haha.  If anyone is a Mass Effect fan, I DEFINITELY recommend you play this game.  And if you're not a Mass Effect fan, you should still try it to see if you like it! 

Here is a picture:

I watched the first two episodes of this at Anime Expo last week.  It looks really wicked and I can't wait to watch the rest of it.  It seems to be one of those few anime series that people prefer in English (I'm assuming because of the english/irish/american accents that you can't hear when it's in Japanese). 

Basically Hellsing is a vampire anime.  There's this vampire, Alucard, that is employed by the Hellsing agency to keep other lethal vampires at bay.  He has an assistant vampire that he created too and her name is Seras.  There's this other Irish guy (I don't remember his name, sorry XD) that works for the church and is trying to kill Alucard and his agency even though they are trying to do good.  It's really action packed and bloody

Anyone else watch Hellsing? From what I understand it's a pretty popular anime.

In another forum I used to frequent, there was a private members only area where members could create their threads and post blog entries.  I thought this was a really cool idea and even made my own   It really made it easier to get to know the people you're chatting with.  I have never seen this is another forum so I thought I might suggest it here.  I'm not sure if it would work with a larger community like this one (the other forum only had about 200 members).  I just thought it would be a cool idea to throw out there!!!

(also, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, I wasn't sure where else it would fit though)

Has anyone seen the 3DS yet?  I think it looks pretty sweet.  I watched the Nintendo Press Conference at E3 the other day and got so excited when they brought the 3DS out.  It has a superb lineup of games too, including but not limited to: Star Fox 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Mario Kart, and Nintendogs + cats. 

You can see screenshots of all the new upcoming games at the Nintendo Press Kit website. (Username: guest, Password: nintendo)

What do you guys think?

Hello everyone   I have decided to create a thread here for myself to show off my banners!  I only just recently started using Pokemon sprites in them so I only have a few, but the numbers will grow. 

I'm still contemplating taking requests, although I'm not sure yet.  I'll think about it.
I will take requests now, as long as you fill out this form properly!

Type of graphic(s): (avatar, signature, av/sig combo, misc. banner)
What you want your banner to say: (example could be your user name)
Do you want any sub-text?: (could be like your motto or something, ie. Vulpix lover or something)
What do you want your color scheme to be?: (give me a couple of colors to work with, ie. black, white, and red, or blue, green and purple, etc)
Do you want any specific Pokemon to make an appearance in your graphic?:
Do you want something non-Pokemon related in it?: (please give me some reference pictures)

Here is a blank in case you get confused:

1. You must fill out the form properly!
2. Please don't send me a PM asking for a graphic. If you want one, just post your request here!
3. To those of you that request graphics and then decide you want something completely different: please wait at least 4 weeks before requesting a new one. (This only counts towards replacement graphics [i.e. a blue sig instead of a red one] not if you have a sig and want an av to go with it. Also, tweaks and fixes don't count.)


I'll try to get everyone's done in a timely manner, do keep in mind though that I have other real-world priorities that I need to take care of.  I'll keep it at 10 requests at a time.

Slots open:
1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
5. 
6. 
7. 
8. 
9. 
10.

ALSO, I live in Pacific time (GMT -8) so I'll most likely be on during the times of 4PM-4AM (this is subject to change... a lot).


Here are the pokemon related banners I've done:
