  1. I think it's your avatar that made the whole thing serious. Hell, I'm reading your sighs while glancin' at Kennedy and I'm not very lighthearted all of a sudden.
  2. So cool black robots blow balls? And are you fucking kidding me? Blowing balls won't have any helium. The balls won't fucking bounce.
  3. How does one not include this? And this?

    English vs English

    To Dean and other fine Britons, you may not realize this, but the general English/Welsh accent around the time of the American Revolution was more... well... American. Basically, you know how the American accent stresses the 'r' sounds? How 'centuh' becomes 'centerr'? Well, your great-great-grandparents (if your family has been Anglo-Saxon from at least then) probably sounded more like the Yanks instead of sounding like the Standard BBC English accent. Non-rhotic accents (the one which doesn't curl the tongue as much and thus leaves out the hard 'r') did indeed exist at the time, but they were only spoken by the upper class, notable around Cambridge. In the 1800s, due to education reforms in the Victorian era, the non-rhotic accent became standardised and here you are sounding like that! Much of the spelling and written language is exactly the same as the late 1700s, it's just that instead of the American accent jumping off from the main English 'accent tree', the one spoken by British commoners would be a mix between rhotic and non-rhotic accents. Want an example? Listen to the Boston, Brooklyn and Charleston accents. That would have been what the everyday Londoner would have sounded like circa 1775. Spelling and word differences are largely American though, mostly taken from Dutch, Norwegian Gaelic (Irish) and Native American languages. Don't know why you guys drive on the left. When we invented the automobile. Made to drive on the right.
  5. Beelzebub, Claymore, Kekkaishi apart from the big three. Bleach was fine taking a break from the Fagtastic Sir Aizen, as it reminded me a lot of the early Bleach chapters (the best in the series in my opinion), but it seriously needs to pick up pace now. Naruto is interesting, because I thinking Kishimoto is rushing through the arc. Haven't you guys noticed that in some of the recent chapters the drawings are closer to... sketches? It's happened before, during the Invasion of Pain arc, and wasn't done on purpose as the volume versions were cleaned up. I just hope the quality of the series doesn't decline with his rush. I haven't read One Piece since the Skypeia (or sumting like that) arc. That was a long time ago.
  6. My first post here is a fail! Back to the norm.

  7. Haaayy guyys. So basically I posted on the old forums and I realized it was moved. Silly me. Edit: And yes, I deserve my own thread because I didn't see there was a thread made for this very purpose. Silly me. Now how do I delete this shit. So to save face, let's re-purpose this thread to something useful! Or not.
