Potential girlfriend prospect ():
Wish me luck with her. Only potentially questionable fact is that her 18th birthday is coming up at the end of next June.
Sorry for the crap quality, you can blame the PSP cam.
Took it while ago.
Thanks.

I actually found DS9 the WORST of all the series'... I really disliked it.
13 Companies Stand In Our Way Of Getting 'Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'
I'm excited about Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. It seems like a blast to play. Sure, I could always import it and play it on the Hombrew Channel, but I'd much rather have a true blue localization. That said, Capcom has time and time again expressed difficulties in bringing the title outside of Japan, citing a series of sticky licensing problems with Tatsunoko properties. Yesterday, in an interview with Joystiq, Seth Killian once again brought to light the problems of a TvC localzaition:
A very sticky situation indeed. In the words of Joystiq, "if you've been holding your breath for this one, you might want to consider coming up for air."
Me and Yoshi got back from Star Trek.
personally, I liked it.
Yeah, I've been here decade ago.
Thanks for the welcome. I'm sure I will
Anywho, I drew a finalized headshot for PB's character from CJ008. Well, I drew the linework last night and coloured it in tonight.
I must imagine it'd get pretty hot in that hoodie real quick.
I wouldn't completely agree on the censorship claims. I mean, yes, they do do a lot of shielding for the kids. But as a parent myself, I rather not have a cartoon for my daughter to watch--with say, Spounge Bob with his dick hanging out or him being a pimp. It's about making sure kids don't turn into vulgar little jack-asses. Need further proof of that? Drive into any area like in NYC where there are black people with kids, and their kids are dressed like 50 cent, and headbobbing to their father's iPod of Candyshop.
Censorship -needs- to be around for children so they don't walk around yelling "Where'z mah bitches!" (Kinda wish I was kidding about that.) I can see what people mean with the Batman show, but come on people. They actually LOOSENED the censorship knob since our days. G.I Joe? They shot at eachother on both ends, but no one was actually -shot-. There was an episode where the US government retracked their weapons because they were WASTING money on the ammo.
The 1990's Spiderman cartoon? Did you guys ever notice how Spidey not -once- slugged anyone? Now look at Spectacular Spiderman. They made it so that he fights more in style with his comicbook counterpart by using the surroundings and poucing on people and beating them to a senseless pulp with hands and feet. He's beating the -crap- out of villians, not handing them teddy bears.
And before I moved recently, I attented a parenting class with my wife and one of the biggest subjects was actually how tv has gotten more violent these days. Also, I call bullshit on the Looney Toon's claim due to those cartoons not being made in our time, but in the generation BEFORE us. As in, our mother's and fathers. My aunt we constantly show me the cartoons that she grew up on and say that WE got the watered down stuff due to Bugs Bunny's mishaps taking place when -she- was a kid.
So, no. You guys can't act like the shows we grew up on were that much violent and kids today are getting sugar sweetness, because what they are getting is the end of our era of cartoons. And I love you guys, I really do--well, maybe not Tickle--but don't you guys think you're taking it a bit too...obessively? I mean, it seems that the past glories of games and shows are held back so much here that it's created this uber-conservative whirlpool that what is old is better. NES > Xbox 360. Sonic The Hedgechog cartoon > Avatar the last Airbender.
Don't you guys think you're living in the past too much? And because of that, falsifed thoughts of our cartoons being more violent or well placed are created out of nostalgia?
Also, as far as the 4kids thing goes with the music, I spoke to my friend Pete on that. He is a director of Music Licensing for Avenue Music Group to the point that anytime you see a movie or a show with "Why can't we be friends", ANY Jimmy Hendricks music and some NWO--he caused the deal and sealed it to be in that movie/show. Basically his feed back is that it's a way to not pay licensing fee's and royalties to company's and artists. And that given that it's overseas, wanting to use that music would mean they'd have to pay a large bill to artists and companies and overseas would only cost -more- doing that, it would be a hefty bill.
And the fact that not many american's are into Japanese pop-rock, they appeal of the music would be low and supply and demand would be pretty much not there.
Now, you can say that "Oh. It's all about money! They just don't want to spend money!" Well, apperently, music licensing costs a lot. As in a quarter to half a million dollars for a popular song. And songs in anime's tend to be popular in japan, which means they'd have to pay so much money that pleasing anyone of you guys is just not an issue or one that's important.
Not to sound insulting but... all of us can barely pay rent on the places we have -now- and you guys want to complain about an issue that--if 4 kids rectified--it would cost them millions just so you can hear the japanese intro to Yugioh?
Come on, guys...
