Hes an Australian Sheperd/cattle dog, and we believe there is something else in him as well. Crazy little guy. He scares my cat, but he is far more afraid. Its quite funny!

AP: Mah kitteh. She is the boss!

What breed?  I had a Blue Heeler way back when and it was an excellent dog.  Very energetic though.

The thing with anime is that there's so god damn much of it, it's pretty much impossible to find something you don't like.

Those of you who like Black Lagoon should check out Baccano. I haven't seen all of it, but it's very promising. The premise? Mafia war in New York, with some truly memorable and just plain cool characters.

(Do mind that I love Black Lagoon and would not place it, like and recommended in the same sentence unless I really mean it.)

And the nudity in Elfen Lied isn't artistic, it's fan dis-service (And yes, I love that show, too.)

And one final one for you action freaks: Darker Than Black, also an excellent one.

Makes note to check out Baccano and Darker than Black.  I loves the action!

Fist let me preface this with the fact that I WAS a Marvel fan of long standing.

Marvel has been cruising down this road for a while now, I'm really not surprised they've sold themselves to a bigger company.

There was a period where Marvel WAS the best company in comics hands down, but that period has long been over.  The mid to late 90's glut of obvious poor management of their properties and money wasted (remember all the lame triple gatefold covers with holografix foil and embedded holograms for nothing milestones like issue 20 of some new series that was on the verge of tanking anyway?) led to their bankcrupcy and they haven't been the same company since.  They bled talent to DC and independant labels and then went about consistently destroying every franchise I had previously enjoyed (Let's make the Punisher a Ghost Rider clone!).  I don't care about the merger because I don't read their products anymore but as has been said, I can't see Disney tampering too much with someone that currently is making money.

I haven't watched any movies lately but I have been watching the original Futurama TV series pretty much non stop lately.

Anything Steve Purcell has worked on.  (Old school LucasArts adventure games by the boatload and the current Sam and Max games) I love his wacky style, it translates so well into games it's a damn shame he no longer works for Lucasarts.  I haven't downloaded the Monkey Island remake from XBox live because 1. I already own the definitive collectable version on floppy with the dial a pirate wheel and 2.  The crappy imitation of the original Purcell cover art pisses me off every time I see it.

Nice.  Can't wait to see the finished product.  I'll probalby steal heavily from be greatly inspired by this as I pursue my own very similar project (at my usual snails pace.  When you're older than time itself you tend to procastinate more than mortals can understand.)

Way back when in one of my alternate forms I belonged to a decent online writing group.  If the members are good you can definitely learn much about the craft in such an evironment, I encourage those bitten by the writing bug to give it a whirl. 

Nice link Grammer.

Dodom, it would be a shame to lose a regular member of the forum such as yourself but I fully respect whatever course of action you decide to take.  And the new comic leaves me waiting to Zoe kick some ass, good work 

DO WANT. NOW. Please...  :

Epic... must have...

I wasn't being argumentative, I was stating fact.  I find it interesting how you stepped away from your declaring open season on Christianity due to "public domain" then accuse me of being a hypocrite.  Read my post, I never said I was offended by Raptor Jesus, in fact in my history here you'd see I'm decidedly religious nuetral.

I'm not going to argue semantics, bashing religion on this forum is not acceptable.  Your comment about not tailoring your language raised the "fuck anyone who doesn't agree with me, I'll bash Christians if I want to" flag.  But I agree, if we've reached an understanding we'll end this conversation here.

To be honest, Christianity and the figures therein are much too widespread to be protected by a no-joke taboo anymore. It's basically public domain. And anyways, Jesus and the like are historical figures, and as such are not exclusive property of any religion. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm not going to tailor my speech to cater to the sensibilities of anyone should I deem it unreasonable to do so.

Try using that logic with a Muslim the next time you draw a funny picture of Mohammad.  The reason it's "ok" to bash Christians is because they won't commit acts of terrorism against you.

I can just merge the two if you guys want, let me know.

Yes, yes we do...

Hehe, the grants where you get a flat sum whether or not you spend the whole thing are the best.  My pell grant refund bought groceries most of one semester.
