So, right now I'm posting on here with my new Dell laptop, through a wireless connection (if it works out, I could actually be on AIM!! ... does this mean the end of the world?).
That, and I got what my parents promised, a 360. Then, I pulled in a heck of a lot more cash than I expected, relatives sent way more than they usually would for birthday's or Christmas or whatnot. That, and I also bought a decent computer from one of my friends for $125. So yeah, this rocked. Minus the crappy batteries I got with my 360. The controller won't even work. I'll get more stuff tommorow though probably. But yeah, tommorow's the real ceremony for me. Then we're having a Project Graduation party at some Ice Skating place with arcades, and a bunch of cool things. Seems like all of my friends are going, and its an all nighter, so I'll probably be there for the night. Just for going we get $30 to Wal-Mart. .... now, I just need a wireless optical mouse or something. My laptop has both the touch pad, and the little mouse thing in the middle of the keyboard, but they're both weird to use. Maybe I'll get used to it though. |

The biggest thing: Knowing someone within a job.
That's how I got mine, even though the guy who recommended me was someone I hardly knew. But, it takes a lot of time, trust me. It took me over a year to officialy get a job, and I had gone through tons of interviews, applications, calls, and whatnot before I got my real job ... which was like: Friend: "Hey this is the guy I told you about." Asst. Manager: "Okay, cool. So, what do you know about cars?" Me: "Uh ... nothing." Asst. Manager: "Awesome, the meeting is next Monday at ..." Me: "Cool." No joke. |

Sorry I've gotten behind with this thread, I plan to post some Manowar, and Judas Priest soon.

Anyways, a friend of mine and I were checking out insane guitarists like Malmsteen a few days ago, and discovered some interesting people and even a few bands. Racer X - This band just seems insane. Godly speed / shred Metal, up there with Marty Friedman's / Jason Beckers Cacophony. I plan to get one of their albums to fully see what they're like, from the demo's and stuff though they seem insanely awesome. Michael Angelo Batio - Guitarists. Him playing with a DOUBLE guitar. I don't think words can describe this. Impellitteri - "The band's style is often compared to Racer X, while Chris' is compared to Yngwie Malmsteen." = Win. So deep down inside the 80's / 90's I have found true furious metal, beyond the huge chunk of big hair.

I'll do the same as Zabuza:

Items in list: 225 Favored platform: Super NES Favored publisher: Nintendo Favored developer: Square Estimated value of collection: $8,325 IGN Editors' average score: 8.7 Xeogred's average score: 8.5 The List. (which is in my sig) I have a dozen or so games to add (lots of DS, and a few SNES that I recently bought), I just wish that section of IGN wasn't so slow that it gets annoying.

I read the first line of your spoiler.

... yikes. But yeah, from what I've read from reviews, people with either love this movie, or absolutely hate it. Honestly I loved X2 to death, and will go as far to say that I even liked it more than Spiderman 1 and 2, but I've always been skeptical about X3. Even with the newer "good" news about it, and the promising trailers ... I just have this gut feeling that I could really like this movie, or be extremely disappointed. I'll probably see it tonight I hope. Guess I'll just have to find out.

Yeah, he seems awesome.

Gilbert, Malmsteen, Becker, (maybe even a little of Marty Friedman), Batio, Impellitteri, and a few others here and there seem like gods. They're too good. Jason Becker is still probably my favorite guitarists however. Regardless of his disease, and that he cannot play anymore (he can't move), he still composes music with his eyes using computers, and whatnot. And because of that, he's such a huge inspiration, I just love him. A good documentery over him.

I can't really describe my thoughts about this movie. It wasn't bad, and I thought it was good, but at the same time I almost completely disagree with the direction it went entirely.
|
Spoiler:
- I'm no Cyclops fan, but his character seemed tossed away so quickly like trash. It did get a point across, that Jean couldn't always control The Phoenix within her. But it just really didn't seem that emotional, or shocking or anything. I think his part in the movie should have been longer, for that scene to be more dramatic and make more of an emotional impact. - Xavior's death was inevitable, I'm sure most of us so it coming. But I have to agree with others, how Magneto reacted to this. It just ... was not him at all. Magneto has always wanted something good, he just had a different plan to acheive those goals. I also hated how he -instantly- left Mystique when she lost her powers. That part really seemed dumb. - Hey, Collosus ... who is he!? Where I'm going with this, is that characters were just thrown into this movie. It was cool, but I would have liked to have seen more development with them, instead of just "Bam, I'm here". - Magneto's outcome. Honestly, I thought that part was horrible. I would have liked to see him die instead of him losing his powers. That's what he lived for, it surprises me he wouldn't commit suicide or do something drastic because of that. But my friends are saying he was cured by the end of the movie, moving the chess pieces. I guess I missed that part. - Sadly, there was nothing shocking or no plot twists of any kind in this movie besides the deaths, and the odd ending. Basically, you could see the entire movies direction and story in the trailers, right? - Rogue giving up her powers. Alright, I guess it wasn't really bad since she wants to in the comic series also (from what I hear), but it just didn't seem right. - The mutant kid who "healed" mutants around him. Can anyone explain why they took him to the Academy??? ... - This movie really didn't seem to connect too much to X1 and X2, it could really probably be seen as a stand alone movie. All in all, I think the plot or whatever was just way too rushed. Characters were tossed around, thrown away, etc. Still I think it was a good movie, I'm just not sure if it was a truly satisfying end to a promising Trilogy. Then my friends showed me this. X-Men 4? What the ...? (Last edited by X on 05-30-06 01:29 PM)

I just hated this movie.

My little two cents.

Originally posted by §huyin Yeah I kind of thought it was funny he said that also. Its rare to see warm-hearted hentai out there. I don't think I'll watch whatever this thing is though, because I enjoy my big kid movies.

"Hmmm, I haven't really thought about that in a long time. I guess I could say I'm very proud about this place. A few years ago when I started these boards, I never would have thought we'd hit over 40,000 posts, multiple times, rank up 400+ members, meet new friends, and whatnot. I guess overall, I'm just very proud about Xeogaming, and everyone here who has helped me make such a incredible community."

Yeah, I just really didn't care for any of the mutants that were teamed up with Magneto in this one. Especially Callisto. Even Pyro was annoying in this one (I liked him in X2 though).
|
And, is it just me ... but I could have sworn I saw facts that Gambit was going to be in this, for at least 5 minutes or something, or just to make a camoe appearance? Guess I could be dreaming. I just hope the Wolverine movie is good. Even though they could change the title for X2, to something about Wolverine (since it was entirely focused on him). I'd like to see Omega Red, or Silver Samuari. But yeah, a lot of you guys have me lost with all the characters, connections, and powers. I've never read the comics, and its been at least 12 or so years since the show was aired. But, a bunch of friends of mine have recently gotten into comic, and I'd love to get into them myself. What would you guys recommend for X-Men? Two of my friends say Uncanny is probably the best series (I'd probably go with the Essentials). But yeah, I would have to agree with Rogue about the visual effects in this movie. Especially when Phoenix would control things around her, it was really incredible. I'd like to see it again honestly. Just like you guys, I enjoyed it, but for the most part I wish it were quite different.

Well, if I got into Uncanny, I'd probably buy the big Essentials and start from the very beginning. That's a ton of reading, but I'm interested. The Essentials are just collections of the Uncanny comic, right?
|
I've had the Age of Apocalypse for awhile now, but I just don't like how some of the comics don't seem connected at all. And the art changes are huge. House of M, Iron Man, and The Avengers are other comics I'm considering checking out. I'm pretty sure I've heard Runaways from other friends also, so I'll probably keep an eye out for that one. Yeah. I've just never really been into comics, and now that I want to, I'm like lost. It just seems like there's so much out there. Oh, and The New X-Men = Disgusting. But I hear Ultimate X-Men is pretty good.

Quite a broad question. Care to explain perhaps? |
