    (And yeah, that's Pocket D btw--if you look closely, you can pick out DJ Zero in the crowd)

    Frank Cho and Dave Stevens are right up there as well, along with newer guys like Stanley Lau, Chester Ocampo, and Warren Louw. Obviously, it's quite difficult to draw beautiful women and a very specialized skill at that, so there just aren't a lot of artists operating at that top tier level.

    This is pretty subjective, eye-of-the-beholder stuff of course, but 2 million+ pageviews each on DeviantArt seem to confirm a certain level of popularity.
    I'd recommend Armando Huerta, who's pretty damn excellent as well

    I actually saw NCSoft time cards today while going to different GameStops with my friend, $30 for 60 days and could be used with any of their games...was contemplating buying one, but Aion doesn't have any free trials >.>

    mac wins again (to no ones surprise )

    My favorite one was still my Invul/Fire Tank vs. a Ice/Cold Corrupter in RV (around a year or so ago), I was lolbadging with a Heavy. I know I'm not the greatest PvPer in the world...but even I know when I'm pretty much screwed over, I had no ranged attacks, was slowed to snail's crawl and couldn't get to the guy. The Heavy I had finally didn't miss an attack and ended up killing the guy w/ that Scorpion Tail attack.

    Me: lol...
    Guy: *****...
    Me: What? Just using the tools of the zone.

    He comes back at me like two more times w/ a Villain Heavy, but still ends up dieing to the Heavy that was with me and calls me a ***** a few more times before leaving and saying something about he shouldn't of left WoW to come back to CoX. Though I'm pretty sure it would of had the same result if it were earlier in the day/evening when friends were on...instead of late at night when everyone is sleeping, heh.

    My Ninja/Therm MM is pleased though I'm probably still going to be taking super speed later down the line.

    what's wrong with RoD, Outlaw Star and Trigun?

    I can't speak for the RoD tv series, but I thought the OVA was great and Trigun/Outlaw Star are classic.

    Death Note started off good...then trailed off somewhere and I didn't care for it much after a certain point...it probably could of redeemed itself if the ending was different.

    Naruto has been good for a while as far as the manga is concerned.

    Not sure what to think about NGE anymore.

    depends...because 2 small purps against +4's isn't as effective unless I forgot something...then again, soft capped defense builds are fun for this kind of stuff

    and...wish I had the patience to level up a Warshade -_- my PB is stuck at 33 I think...

    I realized that building a computer (NOT PROGRAMMING! <----) is just adult Legos. Stuff only goes in one spot.

    Loads of cash? I have a rig worth 6 grand on Dell/Alien and built it over 2 years for about 1000 total.

    You know how I learned to build a comp?

    Tada!
    I barely trust myself to put in a graphics card >_> I almost ruined my last computer because I thought my memory sticks were corrupted after I pulled them out. After failing to sell them, I put them back in the motherboard. I swear up and down the damn street that I pushed both sticks all the way in...my damn fingers were sore from pushing down to make sure they were locked in. After so many forced restarts, I did one last check to make sure the memory sticks were pushed in...turns out one of them wasn't *deep sigh* and then I get the joyous message of a corrupted start up file.

    jealous of New Orleans...they have a easy schedule ahead of them as things stand now...with NE and Dallas being possibly the only obstacles.

    Does this make Ms. Liberty an Incarnate, even if watered down a bit?
    probably a watered down incarnate, she does have a couple lightning based attacks.

    Well, sure you can team with friends there, but why not just go and team up with people who are closer to your level?
