He's the first insei Hikaru meets, if you remember any of that. He goes by the name Zelda on Netgo. XD; I thought that was really funny. XD I'm pretty bad at remembering stuff too. >_>

He sounds a lot cooler in this character song! XD But he's recognizable in both. Whoa, these character song clips on youtube have a lot of comments.

The names for the captains in Bleach didn't sink in until after the Soul Society arc. :'D During the Soul Society arc where a whole bunch of characters were first introduced, I couldn't keep track of everyone. And now there are more new characters! Bleach certainly has a big cast.

Not embarrassing at all. XD I know very little about countries outside of North America. ^^; But yeah, CA is California. It's on the west coast. My city is fairly large. :3

Aw, I hope you're able to sleep well. Good luck with your exam!

I really want to make those decks, but I think Lys has been wanting to make some decks too. I guess I'll email her about it. <3

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

Aaw, I remember him now! I remember thinking that he seemed like a cool character 8D...Now that makes me even lamer for forgetting X'D I thought the name Zelda was funny too...even though I'm one of the few people who could never get into Zelda (even though I own "Majora's Mask" and "A Link to the Past"...I think).

Yeah, he's recognizable, I guess I was just confused when I heard it the first time, because his other character song I heard first sounds pretty different...it's more meant to sound funny...

Haha, yeah, there's a lot of people on youtube XD I'm pretty addicted myself. ^^'

I still haven't read much past the soul society arc in Bleach. The guys on the "trash" and "panther" cards were just introduced (I already forgot their names again!)...wait...I think the panther guy's named Grimmjow or something similiar XD and the trash guy had some really complicated name...

Haha, it's more embarrassing because I'm supposed to know more, what with having top grades in English and all...x'D My English lessons are actually pretty horrible, my teacher bores the hell out of all of us.

West coast...your time zone must be a lot earlier than mine then xD

Germany won the match and I didn't get to sleep until around 3 am. The honking stopped around 0:00 but I'm living above the police station and they had arrested some drunk people who were making a ruckus all night. I dragged myself out of bed at 6 am, went to school, got the exam and wondered why the hell I'd even bothered to show up. Buuut it doesn't matter that much, I'm just happy that I think I passed math today :)

Aww, that would be cool. I think nine out of the fourteen decks I'm collecting were made by you. Can you tell I like them? 8D

And now on to the important part of this comment...
Want to trade your thirteen 15 for ?

And can I also imitate stillarium and become trade buddies with you? 8D

[lucathia]

He is a cool character. I want to collect a deck of him, but the only TCG that has his deck is tcg_exchange, which I'm not part of. X3 I haven't finished any of the Zelda games. I got around halfway through Windwaker for the Gamecube, but I quit after I spent hours finishing a long puzzle and didn't get anything special for it. :'D

I got myself addicted to nicovideo.jp after youtube. XD It's a Japanese video streaming site, and the people there make very cool parodies. 8D I've seen a lot of people upload parodies to youtube that they find from nicovideo.jp.

Haha, you'll forever remember them as the panther guy and the trash guy. XDD The trash guy's name is Ulquiorra. I probably spelled it wrong. XD I only remember the names of those two Arrancar, but a whole bunch of others show up after the Soul Society arc. Everyone has complicated names. 0___0;

Ahaha, I was always top of my classes but that didn't mean I retained anything afterwards. Do you cover stuff other than just English in English class?

Probably! It's GMT -08:00, whatever that means. XD

Aw, you didn't get to sleep until 3? That's late considering how early you have to wake up.

Haha, that's cool. XD; I'm always afraid no one will collect them...some decks have been like that.

Sure thing! Photobucket (where I host my cards) isn't working for me at the moment so I can't even see my own cards, but other people seem to be seeing them fine??? Er, go ahead and save the card if you can see it in my post. :'D This makes me want to get my own webspace so I don't have to use free image hosting. Though, I guess it won't solve my problems since a lot of other people's cards are hosted on photobucket.

Sure thing to that too. XD I'll make a cute little banner for you too. XDD

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

I wonder if there are any Hikaru no Go fans at starcrossed...if there were then you could make some decks (one of Waya for example xD ).

I got halfway through Majora's Mask and then...I don't know, I got lazy or something. My brother finished it, but I never didm even though it had been my christmas present XD

I know nicovideo XD It's neat, but somehow I'm still more of a youtube-addict, probably because I've uploaded my own amvs there, too.

I so totally will remember them as trash guy and panther guy XD And then I'll probably wonder when no one understands who I'm talking about D8

Yeah we have to learn history, cultural and political stuff as well. Most of the focus is on the UK, but I think all of 10th grade was about America and differences between BE and AE and stuff. Nowadays we're allowed to choose what we want to speak as long as we're consistent, but we're taught to use British English (I still catch myself spelling "favourite" and "colour" sometimes XD ). Sometimes I think it's kind of unfair that I have to learn all this stuff about the Commonwealth etc. only because English is the "lingua franca" of our times and a compulsory subject. I don't think countries like France or Italy or even Japan are any less important, but I don't have to learn about them xD They kind of revamped the grading system for our English (/Spanish / French )exams this year, which makes the use of correct language a lot less important than it was before. I don't really get what they're trying to achieve. My friend's English is horrible, but she's still getting above average English grades this way...I'll stop rambling now...XD;...I'm only going to add that I would never have learned to speak English if it wasn't for my unhealty obesession with anime/manga/videogames and the internet XDD

I'm in GMT+1...so that's a 9 hours difference o.O so...it's 1:29 am here, so it's still only...naaah, it's too late to force me to do maths now XD
It's still early for you. 'Nuff said. D8

Yeah, school starts at 7:30 am, that's bad for me because I like to stay up late. Like, right now. But I don't have school tomorrow, so that's okay.

Haha, yeah, I'm kind of glad a lot of the "new people" ended up collecting the mako and hero decks I suggested...but that also makes it harder for me now D8 There's also people collecting the justice and change decks...but I was expecting that ^^

I'm seeing your cards just fine! I've saved the card now, too. No problems here at all.

Heheh, yay~ ^^
I guess I'll make some graphics for my trade buddies, too. I still wanted to make that pending card anyway~

[lucathia]

Maybe? At least Hikaru no Go is more popular than Mekakushi no Kuni. :3 I suggested some series to Lys before the TCG opened, and some of those series were really unpopular (like Overdrive). :'D

You got farther than me with that game! I only got through the first level for Majora's Mask. I thought that game had a cool concept though.

You make amvs? :D I've always wanted to make one...but preparing footage is hard.

Ah, in high school, we only had world history for a year, US history for a year, and then government. I think we spend entirely too much time on US history given how short of a history there is. Your school sounds a lot more comprehensive! Mm, foreign language is a requirement, but we only had two choices at our school since our school was pretty poor. I picked Spanish. I don't think anyone came out of high school fluent in whatever foreign language they chose to study. ^^ How long have you been studying English? :O

I think a lot of Starcrossed members are from Canada. They use British spelling too. I could tell with the judgement deck. XDD I almost pointed out that it's spelled wrong...until I looked it up and saw that it can be spelled with the "e" too. I always spelled it as judgment without the e. I've been wondering how it's spelled in the game.

You must be sleeping right now then. I'm about to eat dinner soon right now. XDD I keep pretty bad hours because I had all evening classes last semester (my classes started at 4 in the afternoon and ended at 10 PM), but now I'm trying to fix my sleeping schedule. It's not quite working. ^^;; Sometimes I don't go to sleep until 6 AM.

I've been saving those cards whenever I see them in the randomizer, so hopefully there's enough to go around. XD

Photobucket still isn't showing up for me (I'm deeeeeprived without my cards). It sucks since a lot of decks are being released at Anime LJ TCG, but I can't see how they look like. ;__;

Haha, I've been lazy with using my pending card lately. XD;

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd never heard of Mekakushi no Kuni before joining this TCG, but it does sound interesting. I've even found scanslations XD Maybe I'll read it over the summer. I like how this TCG stuff introduces one to all kind of interesting series xD

Yeah, I think Majora's Mask actually is a neat game, I guess it's just not my type of game.

I make amvs from time to time. It's hard to get footage if you want to make amvs without subs XD My first few still had subs in them D8...I loved making KH amvs mainly because the footage was so easy to get and the only occasional subs were Japanese anyway. The video editor I use is pretty sucky though :X...my computer can't handle anything better at the moment XD

Hm...in history lessons we usually focuse on European history, but of course a lot of other countries are tied in with that (African Colonies, America's fight for independece...etc.). Then of course, the Holocaust...again and again...and again...In 10th grade I had a German teacher who found something relating to the Holocaust in every single poem we discussed.

Yeah, I've heard that in America you only have to take two years of a foreign language and that's all XD I don't think you can how to speak a language in two years (at least, not in school). I've had to start English in 4th grade. Soo...I've been studying it for about 8 years now. Nowadays a lot of schools want to put English into their curriculum from 1st grade on though.

In 7th grade I could pick between Latin and French and chose Latin and then in 9th grade I was given the choice to either take Spanish or French OR make physics a main subject. I took Spanish. XD
After 11th grade I was allowed to drop two of my languages and I decided to drop Latin, because during 11th grade I took an additional exam that certified my knowledge of the language (ahahaha, I've already forgotten everything!). This certificate for Latin called "Latinum" is required for some courses in universtity (if you want to study law or theology or something like that).
So I've had English for 8 years, Latin for 5 years and I'm in my 4th year of Spanish XD

It is possible to graduate in Germany with only English, but only in secondary education.

Haha...I would have spelled it "judgement". I didn't know you could spell it without the "e".

I...should have been sleeping, true. I was still playing Trickster with stillarium though. XD; I only went to bed around 4 AM.

That must be strange to have classes in the evening o,o I mean, you probably wouldn't want to go to sleep at "normal hours" like 11 PM when you only got home after 10 PM.

During the hollidays it's not uncommon for me to stay up until 6 AM either XD; I don't have any good excuse for that, though.

Aww, I hope photobucket will start working for you again D8 I'm kind of glad I don't have to use photobucket, their URLs are so long and they've always put too much information into the html when I inserted the cards into my cardpost via copy/paste (I used photobucket when my computer didn't work, because I can only upload to the free host I'm using via FTP)


...this got long again xD;

[lucathia]

I watched Romeo x Juliet because of TCGs. XD; Mekakushi no Kuni is short (haha, compared to long shounen series!) and sweet. I've read it a couple of times. It doesn't focus on romance too much.

I'm not much of an adventure game person. :'D I haven't gotten very far with the Zelda DS game either, but it's been really fun so far. You can do lots of cool things with the stylus (such as marking on a map where you're supposed to go).

Video game footage must all be mostly sub-less. :3 It's harder to get anime without subs. I've downloaded RAWs of series I thought I might make amvs for, but I'm still missing episodes here and there.

What program do you use? :O I've tried using Adobe Premiere before, but I can't even get past the first step. I can't get my video files (they're .avi/.mp4 encoded with a bunch of miscellaneous codecs) to import into the program. The program just ends up crashing. 0___0;

Haha, yeah, at my high school, foreign language was only required for 2 years. I started learning Spanish in 9th grade and took it for 4 years, but 4 years isn't enough at all, especially not when we all started so late. Wow, you started learning English in 4th grade? Seriously, our foreign language requirement feels like it's all for show. (2 years...just what exactly are we attempting to learn in two years??)

Wow, Latin. :O That certainly wasn't an option for me back in high school! Seems like any high school graduate would be at least bilingual, if not multilingual over there. Here in America, if we're even bilingual, that's a big thing already. =/ Just because English is spoken almost everywhere doesn't mean we shouldn't be learning other languages. D:

Haha, maybe I'm the only one here who things it should be spelled judgment. XD

Ah, I was still up at 4 AM yesterday too, watching Soul Eater. XD; Trickster sounds fun~.

Yeah, I couldn't sleep early because of evening classes. I always have to finish my coursework before I go to sleep, so I ended up writing essays up until 8 AM until I finished. ^^; I won't be able to do that next semester though, since I'll have to do student teaching in the morning and attend classes in the evening. I didn't have morning student teaching last semester, so that let me sleep in. :'D

Photobucket still isn't working for me. =/ I can't see other people's cards either since most people are using Photobucket. I'm thinking of moving my cards to a free host, but I don't know of any good ones. The one I use for my TCG site is kind of weird with images. Some images work and some end up not working when I upload them. Photobucket URLs are indeed reaaaally long. I reached the character limit for my card post for Anime LJ TCG because of how long all the URLs are. :'D I don't want to split up my post though. That makes updating a hassle.

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

I've thought about watching Romeo x Juliet becuase of this TCG, too. (I never did though x'D )

Thanks for reminding me that I still need to get a DS...|D My wallet is looking very unhappy at the thought of all these neat games.

I tried getting all the RAWs for Death Note when the episodes first aired. There was this torrent site that had all the new episodes up for about three weeks after they'd aired. It worked up well until episode 17 or something and then I was on holliday and forgot and I couldn't get a couple episodes and then that totally discouraged me D8 The End.

Haha, I'm using crappy Windows Movie Maker. I wanted to use Adobe Premiere, but it doesn't even install on my computer and Sony Vegas (which is also really neat) crashes when I try to make anything longer than a minute or so xD; I've heard that most of these programs have problems with the DivX codec that's used on almost all anime episodes you get from the internet.

So true, 4 years is totally not enough for Spanish. I'm in my 4th year now and my Spanish is still horrible...I can never get the hang of the "subjuntivo" %D (the grammatical abomination from hell).

4th grade is considered late now...XD I forgot to mention too that I went to a school that had a special "bilingual branch" where biology and geography were taught entirely in English. I could only do that from 7th to 9th grade (since we moved after that and I had to change school), but it still boostened my vocabulary (which proved to be very helpful when I discovered something called "fanfiction" ) :D

Latin were actually pretty boring most of the time. Most of my classmates hated it. Most of the people I know who ever had to take Latin say that they hated it. XD

Yeah, it seems like people would be all bilingual over here, but a lot of us end up not using the language much at all and that makes them forget what they've learnedd and a few years after their graduation most people would be glad if they managed to hold a basic conversation in English.

Trickster is fun. You should totally join us sometime. :D

What's student teaching? Does that mean you teach someone or something? D8

I'm using a German free host and I haven't had any trouble with that one, so I haven't been looking around for other hosts :/

Heheh, yeah, I wouldn't want to update two posts either xD I know a lot of people here have all their logs in a different post even the most recent ones and even that would be too much of a hassle for me XD

[lucathia]

I thought it was one of the better shows of that season. :D Hehe, Juliet's a fighter, and there's a revolution against the Montagues going on. It's pretty different from the original Romeo and Juliet. :3

...at least the DS is a lot cheaper now than when it first came out? :'D I really want to get FFIV when it comes out. *___* I should probably finish FFIII first though. |D

I was downloading Death Note raws too! I only got up to the tennis episode. ): It's easy to get when the show's airing, but afterwards it's pretty impossible. D:

Ah, Windows Movie Maker. I tried using that too, but I can't get the resolution to come out nicely. It makes my videos very pixelated. =/ For my episodes, I've tried uncompressing stuff before, but that didn't work very well since it took up a LOT of space. I don't have that much hard drive space. -___-;;

...it's been years since I last used any Spanish. I don't even remember any of the conjugations anymore. 0____0;; Guh, that sure was a waste of four years. D: Are you going to continue with your Spanish? :3

Oh wow, a bilingual branch. I would have loved that! Ahaha, do you write fanfiction? I discovered fanfics around...9th grade. XDDD and I wrote terrible ones

Aw, Latin seems cool, but it is a dead language, so there's not much use...?

Is Trickster international? If it is, I'm considering joining. XD Maple Story is divided into different countries/continents, so I can't play with people across the glob. =/ It sucks, since I don't know anyone who's playing anymore.

Ah, student teaching means that I assist the teacher with their class. I'll be in an elementary classroom teaching little kids. :3

Photobucket is finally up again. *___* I have a back load of cards to upload now for Anime LJ TCG. :'D I'm going to try to get some other hosting. Photobucket used to have a 1000 image limit for their folders, so I had to make new folders after hitting that limit. It sucks when I have different url for my cards. D: Makes those filler and pending cards hard to use.

I only move my logs when it gets too long. XD

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

If it's not exactly the same as the original then I might just try watching it someday after all. I'll add it to the long list of animes I still have to watch XD

...I don't even remember how much it cost when it first came out. I think the release of the Light version raised the price a little again xD FFIV has always been a neat game, I wonder how the remake will turn out 8D

Yeah, it's like nobody wants RAW versions anymore after the subs are out X'D It's funny we're talking about that right now, because someone just uploaded all the RAW versions of Kyou Kara Maou Season 3 episodes at a kkm community and also asked if he should replace the RAWs of the earlier two seasons with higher quality versions xDD It's amazing that they're all still downloadable > 2 years after they aired.

Actually you can tell WMM what resolution you want the finished video to have :O Or do you mean the quality of the clips you import into it?

I'll graduate from school next summer and I need to improve my Spanish a LOT until then because I want to take one of my graduation exams in Spanish >.< (the other option would be biology XD ) I'll try to keep it up after school by reading books or something, a lot of my videogames can be set to Spanish as well and Spain also isn't that far away from here o.o

Yeah the bilingual branch was pretty cool, it was a lot more work then regular classes though D: In the beginning it was difficult to copy vocabulary from the board, listen to the teacher and try to actively participate in the lesson all at once. My teacher was pretty amazing though, if the school didn't have an English copy of an educational movie he'd turn the sound off and read an English translation to it himself D:

I'm thinking we're still taught Latin because it's pretty helpful in learning and understanding a lot of the other European languages as well as a lot of foreign words in our own language that originated from Latin. Studying Latin has definitely improved my understanding of grammatical stuff as well, so I wouldn't say it was a total waste of time. It's a great way to show off, too!

I write fanfictions occasionally. I wrote my first one about FFVII back when I was ~10 years old and didn't even know the term XD It was pretty horrible and mainly about one of the characters I despised getting killed LOL It was SO random xD

My first works were all pretty embarrassing when I think about it. I think I discovered that there was an awesome amount of fanfictions for the English fandoms when I was in 9th grade as well xD There's just more people who write English than people who write German. Animexx, the biggest German anime/manga community, has a total of 17 Kyou Kara Maou fictions online right now for example (and one of those was published by me %) )

I'm slowly starting to write my fictions in English now too, but I still need a lot more practise! XD I've got two short English ficlets up on fanfiction.net right now, but I couldn't get anyone to beta them, so I'm not very confident about them. (I go by slasheddream there too x) )

And I'm sure your fanfictions aren't horrible :O You can't write anything as horrible as my first ones!

Trickster is party international. There's a Korean and a Japanese version for players from those countries but everyone else plays on eTO (English Trickster Online).

Eh, you're teaching kids from elementary school? Sounds like fun XD

Hahaha, congrats! Let's hope that it won't crash again for a very long time.

And that L doll is so darn cute *_* His expression! XD

[lucathia]

I made a list of stuff I watched over at myanimelist.com. XD; I haven't watched as much stuff as I thought I have!

It was quite a lot. The PSP too! The remake of FFIV makes everything look so cute. I heard it was a hard game, and that the remake is going to retain the difficulty level. :3

Haha, that's the only way to get RAWs of shows that have aired for a while! Must wait for kind people to share them. XD; I completed my Ookiku Furikabutte RAW collection that way. I was missing a few episodes here and there.

Hm, when I use WMM, the resolution keeps getting worse every time I save the file. I had a short clip of La Corda d'Oro that I dubbed with someone. I just wanted to put the video together with the audio, but the resulting video file ended up looking terrible. ):

Oh whoa, that's neat that you can play your games in Spanish. :3 All this talk is reminding me of the JLPT. My Japanese is getting woooorse. I haven't been speaking it at all. ):

Wow, your teacher sounds amazing. He was translating on the spot??

Ah, true, Latin is useful for all that you mentioned. XD; I kind of wanted to take Latin in college, since it just feels like a cool language to know. XD

Ahaha, that IS random. XDDD My first one was a crossover between Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin. I never finished it, and I never showed anyone the fic either. XDD I had no idea where I was going with it.

Hm, yeah, seems like there are a lot more English fics than fics in other languages. I've come across a lot of cases where people write fics in English and say that English isn't their first language. (But their fics were really good!)

...I don't have a beta either. :'D I should get someone to beta my stories, but I don't have any writing buddies. =/ I found you on ffnet! XD I see that you have a Naruto and a Harry Potter fic in English. I have an account there too that's linked in my sidebar. Guh, I haven't updated in over a month. ^^;;

I've written some pretty embarrassing stories. XD; I haven't taken them down though.

Gah, another thing to get myself addicted to? XDD I'm so going to look into Trickster sometime.

Teaching little kids is fun, but they're so hard to manage. Haha, I must have been a hard kid to teach since I cried every time something didn't go right. Good thing I grew out of that by 4th grade. ^^;

It sucks when photobucket crashes, since so many people use it. Other free image hosts aren't good for hosting cards though, since they rename the files. =/

Hahaha, L's narrowing his eyes at you!! XD

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

The PSP sure did cost a lot, I don't think I'd ever have gotten one if it wasn't for my brother! XD

There were actually two versions of FFIV released in Japan. The first version they released seemed to be to complex / difficult to be played by a younger audience so they also released a "children's version" that had some items and abilities taken out. If I remember correctly then the children's version was the first one to be released in other countries and we only got the original version with the re-release for the GBA. ( I only know all this stuff because they had a great video special called "The Final Fantasy Retrospective" at gametrailers.com a while ago that covered all the games in the FF universe XD )

Livejournal communities rock for stuff like searching for RAWs 8D

That's a strange problem you have with WMM o.ô So the video is okay during the editing process and then the quality goes down when you save it?

The JLPT? You mean the one that's coming closer and closer? D8 I'm planning to spend a lot of my summer hollidays with studying for that...XD; The only Japanese person I could talk to right now is my friend's teacher, she's nice, but I don't see her that often. My friend and I often talk in Japanese to each other, that's probably not helping much, but it IS fun 8D

Oh, no he wasn't translating on the spot, he'd written a translation down before and then only had to read it out.

I've never written a crossover! XD I wrote about my friends and me going to the Digiworld though! XD;

There are a lot more English native speakers then German native speakers, too! So that probably contributes to that. XD I've also seen a lot of people with different native tongues write great English fictions, that's mainly why I thought I could try.

Stillarium's kind of my writing buddy, but she can't really help me with English fictions either. We can only point out obvious mistakes to each other.

Not updating in over a month isn't that bad. I'm worse...if it wasn't for some text RPGs I'm participating in then my writing skills would probably have totally vanished by now XD

I can mostly laugh about my embarrassing stories by now. I've puplished them all in a small forum community once to show some beginners there that it's really possible to imrove if you just keep writing |D

Let me know when you do join Trickster 8D I'll show you around! =D

I only cried once in elementary school. That was in first grade when I ran head first into the black board. Must have looked pretty funny to the other kids. My mom had to come pick me up XD;

Hm, do you have a program you could upload files via FTP with? Hosts that let you use that usually don't rename anything.

Maybe he's suspicious of me!! X'D

The Final Fantasy Retrospective? That sounds neat. Whoa, a children's version...I've never heard of anything like that for other games. Well, except for the games that got simplified for release outside of Japan. (...like Fire Emblem 10. ^^; ) The original FFIV must have been really hard!

I want to search for Eyeshield 21 RAWs since no one's subbing the series. I don't think anyone has them uploaded though. =/

I'm not sure what I was doing with the file in WMM. The dimensions of the file after I saved it was different than the original file I started with...so I think that probably lowered the quality? D: I want the file to be the same quality before and after...I must have done something wrong. D:

I was reading a lot of English translated manga, and then yesterday I put that all away and started reading untranslated manga again. I need to practice my Japanese in whatever way possible. :3 (Or else I'll get even lower than a 62% this year. -__-; )

Oh, I see! That makes things easier. I tried translating on the spot with anime for my cousins before (this was before there were fansubs). My on-the-spot translation from the Chinese subtitles to English wasn't so great. XDD

Crossovers are fun. XD I really love crossovers since you get different perspectives on the same characters. Crossovers with Harry Potter are especially entertaining. Everyone knows Harry Potter.

Aw, you're like a senpai in writing for the beginners. XD

I was going to join Trickster but there was some update at the time. Does it matter what server I create my character in? Are we allowed to choose the gender of our characters? :'D Dragon is perfect for my Rykatu persona. I have a few original characters whose names I borrow for online games. XD

Aw, that was because you hit your head! I cried because I ripped my drawing and couldn't fix it. XDD

Image hosts all seem to rename the images...like tinypic and imageshack. ): Do you mean web hosts? I tried uploading the cards to my webhost at byethost.com too, but sometimes the images don't show up...and sometimes they do. I wonder why. 0___0;

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

yeah, it was a nice special, pretty long though. You can take a look at it here if you want to: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/4831.html
I'm kind of curious what version the DS remake will be based on.

I don't know Eyeshield 21 xD; Yet another anime I don't know~

Usually you can select "save for playback on you own computer" or something (don't know exactly what it would say in English) and you can specify the resolution and dimensions you want the finished video to have D8

頑張ってね☆~

Translating stuff on spot must be hard! Sometimes I watch English shows together with a friend and I end up translating stuff for her and even that gets tiresome quickly (and I'm not trying to be super accurate or translate everything! ) XD

Yeah, I've read some HP crossovers. One with FMA and one with Naruto I think. They were pretty well written, too. In other cases I often don't know the other series involved and that's no fun then XD

Haha, I guess. But it would be weird to think that way, I've still got the "annoying little sister" image of myself xD;

Ah, yes it does matter. Stillarium and I are playing on the older server...it's called Jewelia I think...*goes to check*...yup, it's Jewelia. It doesn't matter if you create your character on Pearl or Ruby though (I suggest you go with whichever channel's 'green' at the moment |D )
As for gender...you can't really choose since the "animals" are assigned genders. For example, for power type the female version is the bunny and the male version is the buffalo.

Stillarium sometimes desgin our characters after anime characters or original characters that we created for our text RPGs xD

Aww...your poor drawing! XDD

Yeah I guess I mean webhosts then, I've never had problems with mine, but I guess it would be slow for you, with it being located in Germany and all, but I'm sure there must be some reliable ones in your region as well D8

[lucathia]

Whoa, it's long! XDD I just watched the first part. It was very neat to see what FFI looked like. FFIII's battle system is really similar to FFI with the classes and limited magic spells.

I like a lot of sports series, Eyeshield 21 being one of them. The main character Sena reminds me of Daisuke from DNAngel a bit (they have the same seiyuu too~).

I guess I should just play around with the program some more. ^^

お互い頑張りましょう~ :D

Translating on the spot is tiring. My throat gets dry from talking so much, and I miss stuff. People who do that as a job are really skilled!

I've read so many HP crossovers that I don't remember all of them. (Hehe, I do recommend a HP/YYH crossover called The Best Defense~) I've read crossovers where I don't know one of the series. I get a little lost, but it's still interesting. Makes me discover new series to follow. XD

...maybe I'll create a male account then, like what I did for Maple Story. I'll pretend to be a guy. XDD The personalities for the female characters don't quite fit.

Hehehe, I saw someone named Rock Lee in Maple Story before. XD It's funny seeing characters modeled after actual characters from other series.

I'll keep looking for a better host. D:

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

I played FFI on GBA, it's nice to see how the series started out.

So, do you do a lot of sports yourself, too, or do you only read about it? XD I remember them having the same seiyuu from that one seiyuu guess round~
I used to watch a lot of soccer series when I was a kid xD; I even still know all the opening songs by heart~ (I watched way too much tv as a kid! Good times...)

Yup, maybe you'll get it to work after all.

I think the people who translate in conferences are aweseome. I heard that it's pretty exhausting though, so they're switched out every 10 minutes or so.

You just really made me want to look into some crossovers again, it's been a while since I read one xD

My fist Trickster character was a dragon~ He's called "creepy" xD; Don't ask me why, I don't remember. Basically I took the name over from another mage-character I had in another game, but I don't remember how that character got that name either~ I think it had something to do with Star Ocean 3...Aaaanyway, I hope we'll be able to play together, should be fun~

Yay for Rock Lee! Stillarium and I had the Elric brothers in Ragnarok Online xD And we have a buffalo / racoon pair in Trickster called "zoromon" and "sanjimon" based on the OP characters (stillarium talked me into that, I don't even like One Piece! I don't remember how we came up with the "-mon" part either @.@ )

Good luck!

I finished watching all the FF Retrospective stuff. Thanks for the link! I really loved it. ♥ It was really informative and detailed, and the stuff Square comes out with just got more and more impressive. I didn't know they had more in line for Tactics. I even saw Tactics A2 in the ads today. :3

I'm not much of a sports person actually. XD; I was on the tennis team back in high school, but I barely got into the top 10. I haven't played tennis in a long time. Darn, I want to play. XD; Oo, soccer series? Which ones? I like watching sports anime because they slow everything down during the crucial points and explain a lot. Makes everything all the more suspenseful~

Yeah, it must be exhausting! I had a deaf person in one of my classes. He had two people translating for him between sign language and spoken English. They switched with each other halfway through the classes during every class.

Yay! I would recommend some to you, but I only know of mostly HP crossovers. XD;

Hehehe, creepy? What a name! I've only played for a little bit the day before yesterday. I couldn't decide where to put my bonus points, or where to go to learn my skills...? :'D I guess I should finish those beginning tutorials first. The person next to me kind of made my nervous though. His name was something like "ikillnewbsforfun." ;___; I hope we can play together too~

Did your characters actually look like the Elric brothers? XD Ahaha, Zoro and Sanji with buffalo and racoon parts. XDDD The mon...maybe from pokemon? Or digimon? XD;

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

Haha, that was fast! I'm really looking forward to Tactics A2, maybe we'll find out more about how the different games set in Ivalice are connected with that game xD

Tennis <3 I only played for a year in elementary school, but I thought it was fun~ I played soccer for a few years, too. I quit that though and now the only sports I'm doing is inlineskating (couldn't live without my skates <3 ).

I watched Captain Tsubasa and I think the other one was called "Ganbare, Kickers!" in English...it was AMAZING what they could do with a ball in those series XDD (at least in Kickers it was totally unrealistic at times, but I still loved it <3 )

I always find it funny in sports animes when someone shoots/whacks a ball or something and then they show you the WTF!faces of all the other characters watching before actually showing you the result of that amazing move XD

I don't mind HP crossovers XD

MyTrickster.net is a pretty neat site for Trickster. It has guides on character builds and quest guides and everything.

Haha, "ikillnewbsforfun" XDD That's a creepy name!

They looked somewhat like the Elric brothers with their hairstyles and colors, but of course we couldn't get the right clothes XD We planned to turn them into alchemists (job class), but the server shut down before we got that far T_T

Yeah, probably from digimon, but I don't remember why we thought it would be a good idea to cross OP with Digimion XDD

As for that card you're holding...*_*
Would that be okay?

Or anything else from my ever growing trade pile ? I don't know which of those decks you're looking for most xD

[lucathia]

Ahaha, I spent all day watching it. XD I was a little afraid of spoilers, but it wasn't too bad. It'll be cool if A2 explains more about Ivalice!

Oo, soccer. I love soccer series too. XD I've never really played soccer though. Have you watched Hungry Heart Wild Striker or Whistle? I'm currently reading a soccer series too, called the Knight in the Area (or Area no Kishi). The first volume was kind of shocking. :'D

Aw, you skate! XD I have no idea how to skate

I haven't seen those series, but they sound fun. Captain Tsubasa is like a classic.

Hehehe, that too with the special moves! They show screens of everyone, or people go "There it is! Super special move xxx!"

Well, I'd recommend The Best Defense, but I don't think you know YYH. X3; It's a HP x YYH crossover. Hm...how about Fullmetal Ninja? It's by someone on my flist. XD You can probably tell from the name that it's a FMA/Naruto crossover.

Yeah, I'm bookmarking that site and looking through it! I didn't know about skill cards before I played with you. XD; I would have been hacking away at those monsters with a sword.

It is! Creepier than creepy!

Elric brothers with the alchemist class...that would have been cool!

That card's fine! I'm not even sure of what my own priority is. ^^;

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

Yup...now I only need to get myself that NDS...X'D

No, I haven't watched those xD I only know those two series I mentioned because they aired on German TV...I discovered fansubs and scanslations way too late T_T (D.N.Angel was the first series I downloaded *-* It was also the first manga volume I bought now that I think of it XD )

Haha, yeah, everybody knows Captain Tsubasa xD

Have you watched "Attack No 1" ? That anime about this 12 year old girl who wants to become the best volleyball player in her school / Japan / the world? I adored that show as a child, but now I realize that it's actually pretty bad |D

When I was 4, my brother got himself skates, so, of course, I had to get some too! x3 My mom never allowed skateboards, though.

You're right, I don't know YYH *adds it to 'to-watch' list*, but FMA/Naruto sounds interesting. I'll read that next weekend, most of my exams will be over by then. Thanks.

I always think it's funny to watch mages whack at monsters with swords xD I once met one who was still doing that at level 30...

Speaking of Trickster...your icon is awesome! <3

(BTW, it's stillarium's birthday today! x3 )

[lucathia]

Those games are beckoning you to get that system. XD

I discovered fansubs around eight years ago. Bittorrent was just getting started around then! Before that, I had to rent my anime from Chinese video stores. They only had Dragonball Z and Yu Yu Hakusho. Ah, so that must mean DNAngel holds a special place for you. XD; I was just reading volume 12 of that today too.

I don't think I know Attack No 1. I've never heard of it before. But wow, a 12 year old wanting to become the best volleyball player? Ahaha, I was thinking that that's really young, but on second thought, Prince of Tennis characters are merely middle schoolers too.

Aw, you weren't allowed skateboards, but do you know how to skateboard too? :3

I hope you do well on your exams! <3

Whacking at monsters with a sword (as a mage) is really inefficient. XD I do so little damage! But dang, that person's still doing that at level 30? That person must take a lot of time to level up that way.

We're posing in this icon. XDDD It's the best vacation spot!

Ooo, I almost forgot. Actually, I did forget. -___-;; And now it must be over already! D: Oh well, I'll still hope over to stillarium's journal. XD

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

I will get that system! And if it's the last thing I do!

Eight years ago! Wow...I think I discovered them around three years ago...or four maybe...

Dragonball Z! Totally what got me into anime ! xD; They aired a very censored version of that in Germany, but I loved it anyway. I only found the Namek arc frustrating xD; "The planet will explode in 5 minutes!" turned out five minutes were longer than four episodes XDD

I tried skateboarding when I was at a friend's house, but I don't like skateboards all that much.

Thank you! <3

You've got to give that person credit for persistance! I don't think I would have been able to level a mage to level 30 without spells XDD

Haha, we're such posers!

Ah, it doesn't matter if it's late, she'll be happy either way ^^

AAaaand would you trade that hero 20 for maybe?

[lucathia]

DBZ was one of the first for me too. XD; I watched Dragonball Z dubbed in Chinese. XD; The voices were terrible. Haha, the episodes really dragged on too much. I remember seeing Goku run for episodes. Later on, Dragonball Z started showing on TV over here too, so I watched it dubbed in English. I like the English dub better. I don't remember if it was censored much. Was yours dubbed in German?

If I tried to get to level 30 without spells...I think I'd fall asleep whacking at the enemies. XDD

If only I knew how to pose as well in real life! My photos turn out terrible. I'm mostly done with my cosplay stuff, but what's the use when I can't pose? XDD

Viki~ ♥

[slashed-dream.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, I remember Goku running too! He also died a lot...xD Yup, DBZ was dubbed in German. Pretty much everything that runs on German TV is dubbed in German, too. There's only one channel I can think of right now that showed undubbed anime form time to time. Once they aired "Silent Möbius" with German subtitles, I think that was the first time I ever heard Japanese xD

I always look horrible on photos >_< I'm looking forward to seeing photos of your cosplay though :3 I'm really curious now XD

BTW, I now finally got myself a black NDS <3

[lucathia]

The anime that shows on TV are all dubbed here too. There's a channel that does show anime with subs, but I don't get that channel where I live. ): I wanted that channel a lot though because they were showing Hikaru no Go at one point. I've watched it already, but I kind of wanted to watch it on TV too. Did you watch Silent Möbius when it was airing? :3 I haven't watched that show. Hehe, how was your first time hearing Japanese? I didn't understand much Japanese before, but I remember that it still sounded a lot more natural than the dub!

I look terrible in photos too. ^^;; I hope my photos turned out okay. =P I'm going to resize and edit them today. I'll post them soon. XD

Awesome! Is it a DS lite? Have you bought any games yet? :DDD
