Really not even sure what to call this one, but anyway.
Pretty much what you might expect from a thing like this, feel free to let everyone know a little about yourself and generally just talk about whatever, not real specifics, just have fun.

Just for the record, encase someone finds it hard scrolling through pages with pictures, or feel that the pictures are too big or something along those lines, that is because of the setting that I have shows the pictures as the exact size that they are when found online [I'd assume its probably the same if you take a picture from your computer and add on here, I only assume because I haven't tried it myself, but I do assume it is the same, that is assuming that it isn't bigger then the 1 MB size that is required] however if people have issues with it please let me know and I will fix the matter by changing it so that any picture has to fit a certain size before being able to make it onto the site.

On an earlier post I talked about the updated version of Kingdom Hearts, this is kinda in a similar regard only this time its about a complete remake or remastered version of an old Nes game, Ducktales. I always enjoyed playing this game, it was very addictive and I'm looking forward to playing the remastered version as well... whenever I get it.
The video for the remastered version as well as the Ducktales's series theme-song, one of the most addictive and enjoyable themesongs ever, just try not to sing-a-long, its nearly impossible. Ducktales Woo-oo!!!

Naruto, its a series that I've followed for quite a while, but also went through times where I missed a great deal, but I do feel I'm more aware of most things then I felt I missed much, I especially know a great deal going on with the Manga including recent events and my one question is.... when will it end?
Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed a great deal of it, but there have also been quite a few times where I just didn't care for anything going on. So many different swerves so often, some very good, others complete misses. For a long time there have been feelings of waiting to see certain events that were being played up, but eventually never happen which ticks me off or the events being dragged out before actually happening gets me so uninterested that I don't care when it does happen.
I'll likely try and keep up with the series until it ends [As generally I've always enjoyed the ending of things] but unless Naruto does certain things I hope would happen and unless some of there swerves actually come out as swerves not things I expected its going to end up being a mix of kinda sad that its ended but at the same time thankful that it finally ended.

Recently I've been playing an old classic RPG game, Breath of Fire which was ported to the GBA about 10 years ago, give or take, not certain of the exact time frame there, but it really gets me thinking how the entire Breath of Fire series is an extremely underrated series, only ending at 5 games in the series, and not really getting much attention, the occasional port to GBA for 1 and 2, I think 3 was ported to the PSP, 4 maybe the PC, not entirely sure there, and I know that 2 can be got on the Wii's Virtual Console while 4 can be acquired from Playstation store for the PS3 or PSP, although its the same quality that as it was for the PS1.
Still though, the series as a whole needs a lot more attention and a new game in the series, which unfortunately likely won't happen anytime soon as Capcom seems completely against the idea of continuing the series, or even letting others continue it as certain companies have shown interest in the series, but can't seem to be allowed to touch it, so at best the Breath of Fire series is in limbo at that's at best.
Breath of Fire will always be up there as one of those games high up on the list that desperately needs a new game in its series. Another game that fits that is the Chrono Trigger series, the first game was great, the second game was okay at best, there was some third middle game in the series, but it was only released in Japan, so I know very, very little about it.

So I had quite an eventful waking up yesterday. I was sound sleeping laying in my bed when I suddenly felt something cold touch my back, at first I thought it wasn't really a big deal and tried to go back to sleep, but since I have a sleeping disorder its really hard for me to go back to sleep once I wake up, so I was know completely awake laying in bed and I had come top find out what the cold touch was, it turns out a snake was sleeping in bed with my and was have way coiled up apparently sleeping cuddled up to me.
Now I'm not afraid of snakes, but I think its a pretty safe bet for anyone that if you just wake up and find that some really long and random snake is sleeping in your bed with you... your getting out of bed. Normally it takes me a while to get completely awake when I first wake up, but at that moment, I was completely wide awake.

I take the liberty of posting something since I just became a member here. TADA! Shortly about me: I'm Yangi, I love games, drawing, writing and movies; I studied film and worked for a games company until recently and my first book (no big deal really...) is going to be published in November this year (Hooray for that!) I looooove Pokemon and those new forms look absolutely awesome! Sadly I don't own a 3DS yet... *sob* But I found a Collectors Edition of the Anthology from Divinity, an RPG series that goes into the official 3rd round this October. There are Divinity, Divine Divinity, and the directors Cut of Divinity 2 and of cause some special feature things like maps, soundtracks, Beta-codes, etc. It's really cool! Anyways, for those of you, who might not know the game: Divinity II consists of three different story lines, Ego Draconis, the Dragon Knight Saga and .... the last one which I forgot. I only made it through Ego Draconis up until now, since this game is huge and I didn't have that much spare time. The 3rd one is called Divinity 3: Original Sin. I'm excited! ... A snake... in your bed Woah I would be SO terrified! At least at first. Somehow.... it's kind of cute... but still frightening. I wouldn't like it much... Yeah so that's my first activity in this forum! Woho! Have fun!

So I've finally posted my first new story in years and what is technically my only story since I deleted all of my other stories all over the web. It's called War of the Guardians and it's first chapter is titled Kandrakar's New Guardians.
I have to say though that I hate the process of posting new stories as every single time I figure the easiest way is to copy and paste from my document to where I am posting it, seems simple enough, right? However the issue is that no matter what, the sentences are always a little mashed together and because of that I have to go through the process of double-spacing everything, now that seems like its no really much of an issue, just a little bit of extra work, but it still annoys me that I have to do it every single time, yeah I guess that could be me just be a little laze, but still, it is a very annoying process to have to go over every single time I post a story and it can take quite a while depending on how long the chapter/story is. Now you are probably wondering why don't I just double-space everything as I am writing it so I can save myself the time and annoyance of doing it later, well while that is a smart idea at first, the issue comes in the fact that my writing program always seems to replace everything when its closed down, it always goes back and single-spaces everything after I write it, which is a bit of a problem making me have to double-space everything and copy and paste it without shutting the document down and I can't simply write it and then copy and paste it all without saving as I do like to give things a little time after I write them to go over them and give it at-least a day or so to see if anything new comes to mind.
So the thing I want to ask everyone is if they know of anything I can do that would make this whole process of posting my stories a little bit easier?

Since I'm already on the point of asking questions, I have another once.
Does anyone know how well the Dragon Naturally Speaking computer program works? Always been interested in getting it, but its not cheap, so really interested to know if its worth the money or not. You speak it types, seems like it might be worth it, but if its not as easy as it sounds [Most things like it never are] I don't want to pay somewhere from 75$ [The cheapest of the versions] to somewhere like 150$ or so for something that really doesn't work that well.

So I had a bit of an issue that rather ticked me off yesterday. If you look back on an earlier post [It's like the second post made here, the first was just done in the process of making the thread] I talk about Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix and how it was going to be coming out on the 10th. Well, I had actually pre-ordered the game a few days ago.
Now there is a few different reasons as to why someone may pre-order something. Sometimes so as to make sure they can have before that are completely sold out [More likely for some of the consoles or handhelds then for a game though] or you might do because of the bonuses that come with pre-ordering the game, which is why I did it.
One of the bonuses was a dynamic theme. Now, what I expect that to be is some background scene for your PS3 when you turn it on. Not completely sure, haven't even used the code to get it yet as to be completely honest, it was too much of a big deal to me, the point to it is a little okay, but not something that actually made me feel I had to go pre-order the game.
The second bonus was the big one and was the reasons I pre-ordered the game. Everywhere I looked, be it somewhere like Amazon or Gamestop everywhere said that there was an Artbook for the game showing art of the characters and such that had never been shown before, as well as a lot of things that had been. That was the reason I pre-ordered the game as I've always loved things like that. So I waited excited to get the game yesterday both because I was excited to get a change to be able to play the game and to get the artbook. Well, I got the game, but I didn't get the artbook!! I got the dynamic theme, but not the artbook! What the heck!!

Post by Cole on Sept 11, 2013 16:53:52 GMT -6
So just a few minutes ago I posted chapter 2 of my War of the Guardians story and that is actually a chapter that I have had half written for a few months. It's always been a rather difficult thing for to get to that point of writing. I can plan ideas for a long time and I can plan working on something for a long time, but I always end up pushing it off time after time, it takes me a long, long time to actually get to that point of writing something. Even more evident to that is Chapter 1 which nearly word for word how it is now is how it had been on my computer for months, there was an occasional little bit of extra things I needed to add, but generally the chapter is very similar to what it originally was.
I do have the a little bit of an idea for Chapter 3, but really hard to say when I will work on that. There is also a list of other stories that I have on my flashdrive considered for writing.
CHAOS and WITCH: A story that shouldn't be expected any time soon. Its about two teams of Guardians [Just two though so its not similar to War of Guardians] although rather they exist in the same universe or two different, but similar universes is its big thing and what all ideas to gather from both sides is the big reason why it won't be expected any time soon unless hit with a big thing of motivation and inspiration.
W.I.T.C.H Cartoon/TV Series Rewrite: This story is to be as expected, basically taking the cartoon series and rewriting it with my own twists and turns here and there. The big key here is to keep it in the cartoon universe so that it is recognizable, but still making the changes that I want to make. This is another story that shouldn't be expected any time soon. I really mostly just want to get other stories up and going and maybe finished before even taking a short at this story and really take quite a bit of time to gather unique and different ideas.
W.I.T.C.H Comic Rewrite: This story I can say is similar in regard to the Cartoon Rewrite and when it could be written, etc, etc. In fact this story may be the last of all of the stories I have listed that I work on. Like the cartoon, the comic rewrite will be something that I make sure to keep in the comic universe, but also be sure to make the changes that I want to make to really make it my own thing.
Moms and Guardians: This is actually a story that is a little higher up on my list of when it will be written. I've got a few good ideas written down for it, just a couple of practice chapters, this story is mostly about coming up with the best way to start it.
Journey of the Dreamers: This is my W.I.T.C.H next gen and to be completely honest, I'm really not even going to give an estimation on this one. Don't be surprised if it comes up some time early, but at the same time don't be surprised if you don't see anything for it in a long time. This is one story I have been working on for years and years, really one of the first two stories I was going to post when I first decided to start posting stories online. [W.I.T.C.H Comic Rewrite being the other, and was to be the first] the difference between this and the Comic Rewrite is that the Comic Rewrite was pushed to the back as I felt there was a lot more experience and direction and different characters and many other things that I felt I needed before I took a shot at it. This next gen I have been on and on all this times, constantly changing changes and altering other things, taking things out, putting things in, etc, etc and so on and so forth. This story is all about getting at the perfect comfort level and coming up with the absolute best beginning for it that I can come up with. Its a story that means more to me then nearly any other story I've ever written or even considered [Comic Rewrite is the only one I might put above this] so everything needs to be just right before I work on this story and post it.
CHAOS and WITCH Adventures: Originally this was just CHAOS Adventures and honestly it could go back to be that. This is a series that may not even be written, but is something in consideration and when I say series, I do mean series. Somewhere from 5-10 stories depending on if I keep W.I.T.C.H involved or not. This series is meant to be compared to what inspired it the; W.I.T.C.H Adventures Series that told a solely adventure for each of the girls. While the others did appear in each of them it mostly focused on just the one character. This series was meant to be similar to that, only it was mostly meant to just be a one-shot, a long one-shot but a one-shot nonetheless. Also probably what was the main factor to this was for it to be a way to help readers get to know and understand my 5 main characters; Cole, Seroth, Raphael, Hiro and Kaido a lot better. Focusing on them a great deal and not just their personalities, but how they interact with each other as well as how they interact not just with their pairing, but with all of the W.I.T.C.H girls.
WITCH Fantasy VII: A story that I really don't have on my list anymore. This story is a W.I.T.C.H/Final Fantasy VII fusion story in which the W.I.T.C.H girls are placed n the Final Fantasy VII universe as if they have always been there [Basically taking the place of the main Final Fantasy VII characters, although not taking their exact role, those characters wouldn't have appeared or existed in this story]Its a story that I worked on for a long time, getting numerous ideas for it over the years slowly until I started coming up with some really good ones that I actually felt fit. However in the end, I deleted the story from my list and for the most part dropped the whole idea of doing the story, I do still have the remains of the ideas I came up with for it though. The reason I add it to this list here is because of how slowly I'm starting to get the desire to work on it and write it. The best I can say for this story is don't be surprised if I never work on it and you never see, but don't completely rule out the idea of it.
That's for the most part the stories I have in consideration and their likelihood at this moment. There is an idea here and there in the back of my mind that may become something, but for now that's a wait and see type of thing to see if anything becomes of any of it.

The Super Smash Brothers series is my favorite fighting games. While they don't have much in the means of story [Nor do many other fighting games, save for something like the Soul Calibur series, easy the best story wise of any fighting game] gameplay wise, the Super Smash Brothers series is easily the best of any fighting game. While fun playing it solo, the series is at its most enjoyable when being play in a group, anywhere from 2-4 players and you'll be playing the games for hours upon hours.
Not to long ago, Super Smash Brothers 4 was reviled or Super Smash Brothers for Nintendo 3Ds/Wii U; I think is the current title they have for it. Either way the game is still quite a ways from being finished, although expected to be out sometime next year, I'd like to take a look at the characters revealed so far for the new game in the series.
Mario: It's rather hard to imagine much of any Nintendo game without Mario appearing in some way or another. One of the original fighters from the first game, Mario has never been a character I cared to play with too much. He is balanced in every aspect, just never been to big on Mario, never hated him, just don't like him as much as Nintendo tries to make people like him.
Donkey Kong: AKA, DK. DK is like Mario another character from the original game in the series and has appeared in each game created after. DK has always been all about power, his punch is one of the stronger moves in the series, even though its been watered down quite a bit over each game, its still generally a powerful move. DK is another character I don't play with often and that I'm not to big on, except when doing certain parts of the game where you have to fight the Polygon Fighters, DK has always been helpful to me there.
Pikachu: Pokémon's mascot is another original fighter in the series and once more another character I don't use to often. Pikachu has never really been one of my preferred Pokémon, even when it comes to Electric type alone, I've just never used him in much of any game he appears in. He is an okay option in Pokémon until its at the right time to get Raichu who I do like, while the SSB games, Pikachu is one of the quicker fighters. His Thundershock attack can travel quite a distance and his Thunder attack is an attack that should be concerned about anytime someone is near Pikachu, even in groups. Pikachu I might use more then Mario, DK and some others on this list, but not a great deal more.
Fox: Fox is also an original fighter in the series. Fox is a quick character who can build up damage rather quickly with his gun that while isn't strong and won't make the enemy flinch, it can be fired repeatedly and rather quickly. Fox is a character to use with caution though as despite being rather light and easy to knock away, some of his attacks leave you unmovable if you go off the stage, so you have to time his attacks and use them with caution otherwise you die. Fox is a character that I have slowly grown to like a little more each time, not enough to make him a preferred character, but one I will use on occasion. Plus his Deflector is nice to have when using him, but when fighting him on a high level it is the bane of your battles against that evil Fox!
Luigi: Luigi is another original fighter in the series, but unlike the other original characters on this list he was a starting character, but instead one of four secret characters. Luigi and Mario play in a similar but also different way. They are both rather balanced and have a fireball attack as well as a jump attack, but do them with different variations. Between the two, I actually prefer playing with Luigi as he is my favorite of the Mario Brothers.
Kirby: Kirby is another original fighter and my favorite one on the list so far. Kirby has always been one of the lightest fighters in the series, but his ability to puff up five times has been able to save him from death quite a few times. With the ability to absorb a specific move from each fighter, Kirby becomes rather diverse in group battles against different opponents. Kirby is my favorite character on this list so far and one of my preferred characters to play with. However, Kirby has been weakened bit by bit with each passing game, which has lowered my times of choosing to play with him.
Samus: Another original fighter in the series and the only female from the original game. While never my favorite fighter to play with, in the original game, Samus was my best character to play with. Samus is an ideal ranged fighter; from her little bomb attacks to be distance between her and her opponents, to her missile attack to her charged shot, which is one of the stronger attacks in the series. Samus is a little weaker in up close battles, but makes up for it with good air battle, a perfect timed kick can take out a lot of enemies. Samus' major problem is that with each new game she has gotten weaker and weaker making it hard to care to play with her anymore.
Link: Link is one of the original fighters and the last one on this list [Covering nearly all of the original fighters from the first game] Link has always been one of my favorite characters in the series. Being my favorite to play with in the original and my second favorite in the 2nd and 3rd game. Link is a hard character to knock off the stage and is skilled in both ranged and close combat from his bombs, arrows and boomerang for ranged and his sword for close combat. Link's weakness is how slow he is and that his attacks aren't really took strong, they aren't weak per say, but aren't really took strong. Unless your close to the edge of the stage, you will likely have to build up a lot of damage on your enemy to knock them away, although with Link's arsenal of moves that shouldn't be to difficult to do.
Bowser: Bowser was introduced in the second game in the series. Bowser as one might expect is a powerful fighter who is hard to knock away, but he is only good at close combat and he is rather slow. My favorite thing about Bowser is one of my favorite moves in the series, a move that only Bowser can do that I have dubbed "The Tank"] when Bowser begins running he lowers his body to the ground and looks like a spiked, turtle-dinosaur-thing tank. I'd play with Bowser just to use that move.
Peach: Peach like Bowser is another character from the second game in the series, although she was just recently revealed for the 4th game. Peach is a character I've never cared to play with much and is the least played with character on this list so far. Peach's best qualities is her ability to recover from being knocked off of the stage and her constant ability to attack form range by pulling turnips out of the group. Overall though, Peach is one of the weaker fighters in the series.
Pikmin and Olimar: Pikmin and Olimar is a character that was introduced in the third game in the series. This is another character I don't care to play with, hard to decided who I dislike to play with more, Olimar or Peach, probably Olimar. Olimar is an okay fighter at best when he has his Pikmin with him, but most of his attacks get rid of them, if not putting them at a distance from Olimar then killing them and when Olimar doesn't have his Pikmin; there is little to nothing that he can do. Its not hard for him to pull them out of the ground, but if an opponent can attack Olimar to prevent it, then Olimar is mostly defenseless, making him one of the weakest characters in the game in such situations and only an okay one when he has his Pikmin.
Pit: Like Pikmin and Olimar; Pit was introduced in the 3rd game in the series. Pit like Link is a rather diverse character being good in close combat or ranged. Pit is faster then Link, but lighter, he has a better recovering time then most if not all fighters as he can fly a short distance. His attacks are rather weak, but can build up damage rather quickly, its just a little difficult to actually finish off your opponent unless close to the edge. Pit is my third favorite character to play with in the series so far.
Villager: Villager is one of the new characters being introduced in the 4th game. Not much I can say about him because of that fact, but he is someone that I don't see me playing with much [I'll use him a little bit as I play with every character in the game to do everything that is needed with them] debuting in the Animal Crossing game, a game I have never cared to play, I can't see me caring about a character that comes from that game.
Wii Fit Trainer: Like Villager; Wii Fit Trainer is a newly introduced character. Also like Villager, this is a character I'm not going to use very much. If you've ever even seen a commercial for any of the Wii Fit games then she are aware of this woman, don't really care for the character at all.
Mega Man: Mega Man is a newly introduced character who is following in the footsteps of Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog by being a character from a different company, Mega Man belonging to Capcom. I've enjoyed the Mega Man games ever since I was a kid and his inclusion in the games gives both a feeling of excitement of something completely new for the SSB series, as well as nostalgia of being able to play with one of my favorite characters as a kid, just now in a different setting. I expect Mega Man to be one of if not my favorite character to play with in the new SSB game.

Post by Cole on Sept 13, 2013 15:11:23 GMT -6
I love having my own site! Everything just feels more, free. I don't feel there is any rush or issues to anything, I can go at everything in my own preferred pace. Even my stories, I really don't like to keep them left alone for long periods of time and any time they were posted somewhere else, I had the feeling of I have to get them updated often and quickly. There is still a feeling of not wanting to leave my stories along for long periods of time, but there is also still that feel of I can go at my own pace with it. I just like having this level of control and be able to do things my own way and just feeling free.
I'd also like to say that I'd recommend for everyone that they check out each section here on the site regularly, especially this section here. I post something here daily, often times numerous things and unless you check out everything often, you are rather likely to miss something.
Now with all of that being said, there is an actual point to this post, I just felt those earlier things needed to be said.
Now this is something of a challenge that I have for any Pokémon fan, its about a story idea I came up with months, maybe a year or so ago. It's something that interest me a little, but its not something I can ever see myself writing as I'm not that big of a Pokémon fan anymore, plus I've often come to find that I have trouble writing something that isn't W.I.T.C.H. I've tried writing for other things, things I really enjoy, such as things for Final Fantasy, which is a series I absolutely love, but I always end up not really caring for any of these other things I write as they don't involved W.I.T.C.H and because of that, I just end up deleting them, with all of that being said, it is still a story I think I would read.
What the story involves is an evil Ash. And I don't mean oh, Ash is suddenly evil, I mean something that is logical and drawn out for a while. When you think about it for a while; Ash has been a Pokémon Trainer for a while, he is well experienced in a lot of things involving Pokémon, yet no matter what it always feels like he never makes any progress. He works and trains hard, but he almost always loses, rookie Pokémon Trainers seem to have no issue beating him [Diamond and Pearl had the rookie trainer Paul defeat him rather easily] it always seems that he is making progress and getting better, but then when he goes and loses, it feels more like he isn't making any progress and everyone else is just a class way above him.
Taking all of that into consideration, also take into account the fact that Ash is always losing his Pokémon for various reasons, sometimes because of his own doing, sometimes because its better for the Pokémon to be left somewhere or be left go. Not to mention that Ash is constantly losing all of his friends, also for different various reasons, heck, even his own dad left him . Pikachu and Team Rocket members Jessie, James and Meowth are the only consistent things in his life.
Take all of that into consideration, the fact of always realizing that no matter what he never makes any progress, always watching people who mistreat their Pokémon or mistreat others always going further and showing more progress then he does, always loosing all of his friends, even his rival/best friend Gary who retired from Pokémon training losing all of his Pokémon; taking all of that into consideration and you can easily see how you can get someone who has the view of never being able to achieve his dream, the most important thing in the world to him being the greatest Pokémon Master ever as well as the view of eventually losing everyone he cares for and ending up alone. Ash would be someone who is alone and has no hope of ever achieving his dream. Taking all of that into account, I think I could see an evil Ash and not just simply an evil Ash, but an adult evil Ash.
Tired of how things always go, Ash finally decides he is going to make his own choices, make his life go the way he wants it to go. He forces Pikachu to evolve into Raichu, who goes and gets Charizard. he gets Squirtle and forces him to evolve all the way into Blastoise, he gets Bulbasaur and forces him to evolve all of the way into Venusaur and he gets a couple others, Snorlax maybe, or Lapras perhaps, one of his hundreds of Tauros maybe, not entirely sure who his main 6 would be. He goes and takes back all of his Pokémon each of which becomes evil just like him. He creates some evil organization ruling over it like some type of Empire forcing all of his old friends including Team Rocket's Jessie, James and Meowth [After all, they have always been with him since he began his Pokémon journey] in a sense making them evil as well, but a little less willing then his Pokémon who did so willing because he did. Ash friends being in that yeah were evil, but also a little against it, just kinda afraid of Ash as well as missing their old friend.
Maybe have Young Ash and co; travel to the future somehow where evil adult Ash is [They time travelled in the 4th movie, so no reason it can't be done again] let it be known that the future is way different from the present time, but kinda keep the evil Ash thing a mystery to the characters for a while. Maybe at the end have some epic battle of Present Ash and Future evil Ash that Present Ash wins and during the process Future Ash turns back regretting all that he had done, just being afraid of never being able to achieve his dream and being afraid of being alone, something like that, some type of atonement in a sense for Future Ash.
But yeah, that's pretty much it for the idea. I had a lot more in the way of details when I first came up with it, but since I never cared to write it myself, I never wrote those ideas down anywhere, so all of that is mostly just based on memory alone. Really wouldn't care about changes here and there, evil adult Ash is the main goal, maybe someone besides Present Ash could help him atone [If he atones at all that is] maybe it could be someone else, maybe Ash could have even had a kid at some point in his life who goes through the whole process of stopping Ash's evil empire and defeating him. All of those type of specifics would be up to the writer [Heck, might even be fine just getting the basic point in some picture] really just as long as there is the evil Ash, I think the whole idea still works.

Hullo! I see you uploaded the second chapter already! Congrats! I still have to read them. I could make it over the first paragraph but then I had to get back to work. However I like the idea and I think I didn't know that one before or it's too long gone, with the wolrds each having a team of guardians. That's a great idea and holds a lot of stuff for stories! It's weekend so hopefully I'll get to reading now. Where would you like me to comment on it if there is? Here or on the chapters directly?

The weirdest thing is how that idea actually came to me. I was actually toying with the idea of giving Tira a pet raven for the next gen and I was just lying in bed saying different names to see which sounded better out loud [Odd enough already, huh?] I got to Luna and kept repeating it, then suddenly turned into Lunar, then I said Luna, Lunar, its the moon, what if the Guardians went to the moon? What if there was Guardians on the moon? Hmm, Lunar Guardians. Boom, the idea hit me then and there.
The chapters directly would be the best option since it would actually be with the chapters and that's all I would really expect to be there, just the chapters and any comments on them. There is way to much that goes on here, I constantly keep this thread updated with different and random things.

HAHA! Okay that is a strange way to get there. I'm becoming a real Tira fan, I just recognize! I loved the idea of her having a raven! Sooo awesome! Tiraaa Tiraa! *parade*
About the commenting: I already thought so. Will do!
The creepy thing that just happened again: When a fire breaks out in our region the volunteer fire brigade steps in, that is close to my home. They have to call their fire men to get to the brigade quick but I tell you that siren sounds just like those old bomb-alamrs from the war... They creep me out every time!

I liked the idea of her having the raven, but I was also kinda against it at the same time. When I first created Tira I based a lot of her character from where I got her name, Tira from the Soul Calibur series. she had her hair color, nearly ended up with her eye color, had a vastly similar personality, and if she would have been given a raven, that would have just given them something else in common. Now that, I based Tira more after how she is in my dreams in both looks and personality so their is a far bigger difference between them now, but still a little bit of similarities in personalities.
At this point given her a pet raven wouldn't draw up way to many comparisons to them any more, so that is a plus, but I'm still a little uncertain to it as with her original character and what I had planned with the raven fit a lot better, but now it doesn't really fit to much anymore since Tira's personality is different. It's really hard to say which way I'll end up going with all of this, but all of this little details is why I haven't posted the next gen yet and likely won't until I'm a lot more certain on things.

I had never stated this earlier, but I feel that I should state it now. Despite this site mostly being made for my own personal use, mostly in the means of posting my stories, I want people to be able to come here and be relaxed, have fun and feel free and just enjoy their selves.
So with all of that being said if this is a specific thread that someone may like to have here or maybe something else specific like a certain Plugin they may like to see [Proboards has a lot of different plugins that can be added for their site, I've seen some minor ones I've consider getting like one that has the time on the home page] then please just let me know either here or PM. I won't guarantee that I will do/get what is requested, but I can guarantee that I will highly consider it and really think it over.

So last night I had this rather sad dream. Too much was going for me to remember much of anything or even understand much of anything, it was a rather confusing dream in how everything went, but still a sad one. Specific details would be to hard to give, plus I really can't remember much, but I do remember the basic point of the dream.
This was actually the first dream I've ever had that; CHAOS, WITCH and their kinds from my next gen actually appeared. Although outside of Cole, everyone else really only got small glimpses for the most part.
In this dream; CHAOS was normal humans and WITCH aged normally as well [Maybe just my own assumption, but I always figured Guardians had a long life-span] at some point something happened to Cole that caught him in some type of time cycle where he was constantly thrown to random points in time and it happened randomly, no way for Cole to control it, plus because of something to do with the whole time thing, Cole would never age. Sometimes he'd go to random the past even to times before he was born and just live there until the time powers kicked in again and sent him to a different time. He'd go to times when the other members of CHAOS and WITCH were kids, to their times as teens to their adulthood, which with their kids was the present time. Sometimes he'd go to the future where the kids were older, during the times that the Time power would send him to those future times, he wasn't around, so he missed out on his own children growing up. He had a conversation with all of the kids when I believe they were in their late-teens to early adulthood, he'd go further in time where the rest of CHAOS and WITCH had all passed, he'd go further in the future even past the point where all of the kids had passed on.
The last time I remember him going to was a time before any of the kids were pregnant. He talked to adult versions of the rest of CHAOS and WITCH and he tried to explain to them why it is that he keeps disappearing for years, that he was stuck in this time cycle as someone had somehow chosen him and made him the Time Warrior/Time Guardian [Something like that] whose goal was to protect the very fabric of time itself. Cole didn't know if there was a way to control the time power or how or why he was the one chosen or how exactly he was even informed that he was given the task, he just knew that someone had somehow informed him of his new task.
However something had actually happened to the fabric of time and Cole didn't know how or why it happened, he just knew that there was different things in different times where they shouldn't be able to exist period. Such as the fact that in the room that CHAOS and WITCH were in, their was a large drawing of all of their kids in their teens on the wall, which should have been impossible since none of them were even born yet, let alone had time to do the drawing as Cole recalled the time that they had made the drawing. The kids had all gathered together and drew a big portrait of each other together on the wall. Despite Cole's normally unwavering calmness to everything, the drawing on the wall of the kids and staring and Will and his closest friends made Cole break down into tears because he knew that no matter what he'd miss everything with his daughters, he'd miss everything with all of his loved ones as their was no way for him to stop the cycle of random time travel of control it.
So, yeah, all of that was something I found to be very sad. Its sad to see someone like Cole and his normally unwavering calmness eventually just break in a situation like that knowing he in a sense could still see his loved ones and random times, but really he was going to miss everything with them.

The Breath of Fire series debuted in the US in 1994 and I have been a huge fan of the series ever since. Breath of Fire isn't a series that gets the type of attention that certain other RPG series get or certain video game series in general, the series is highly underrated and has quite a cult following.
I've played and beaten all 5 of the games in the series. The last game in the series to date was Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter which was released in the US in 2003. It's been 10 years since a new Breath of Fire game has been made and come to the US [Its been an extra year for Japanese fans] It's a series that I have been hoping to get a new game from for years, and then I heard something today, that Capcom had recently announced Breath of Fire 6 [About a month or so ago] I was excited! Finally the Breath of Fire series is coming back in 2014!
But then I saw this!
Now the beginning of this video shows the earlier games in the series [Except 5/Dragon Quarter, which they seemed to have purposely ignored] so the early parts of the trailer is okay. The bits for Breath of Fire 6 is at the end with the red haired guy, now it's really not to bad I suppose, I could probably learn to live with that type of design [Even if it looks nothing like Ryu of old] the Breath of Fire series has always had a unique look with each game in the series, so I can probably let that slide a little.
What can't be forgiven though is that is only being created for touch-based Windows computers, IOS and Android smart phones and tablet devices, what the heck Capcom!? For those who don't know this, games for these type of things, never actually sell, not known things like this, different things created just for them can sell, but if you take something that is already established and put it on these devices, it never sells and Capcom knows this! Capcom has never really cared much for the RPG genre and really hasn't cared to work on the Breath of Fire series, to be this is nothing more then a cheap way to try and make a little bit of money on the name of Breath of Fire, but even more then that its taking a jab at fans of the Breath of Fire series. Capcom knows this by putting the game in the devices that it is to be on, this is just Capcom's way of saying there, we made a new one, to the fans who have been asking for it for over a decade. Now when the game doesn't sell, Capcom will just tell Breath of Fire fans that they gave them a new game in the series and it didn't sell, so they won't touch the series anymore.
I used to like Capcom a great deal, but over the past few years, Capcom has falling off a great deal to me and now after this, I just simply loath Capcom!

Currently in the workings of Chapter 3 for War of the Guardians, or technically I wrote it a few days ago, since then its really just been taking a long look at it as there is a certain issue with it that I feel I have to get just right or it could leave some issues.
So, whenever I get that issue dealt with, then I'll be posting chapter 3.

Been thinking of changing the look of the site lately. I feel it really needs a new look, maybe some picture or something, not sure which way to use though, or maybe change the colors a little, although that might be a bit difficult at first, could probably make things a little difficult to get through depending on things end up, especially since the first bit would just be practice and to my knowledge their is no default option, so I can't undo everything. Maybe do a bit of both, add some picture and change the colors of everything, not entirely sure.
Either way, I do feel the site needs a new look, but messing around with the colors would be experimental at first, so I'd have to ask everyone to just bare with me for a while until I'd get the hang of it.

First off let me say that I really, really hate being sick!! I've been sick for over a month, suffering from a flu for weeks, then I was nearly over it, just the remains of a cough I had from it, then boom...I end up getting a cold! It's like they are tag-team-partners, two-on-one, it sucks! The worst part is that since the weather is changing slowly here from hot to cold, I'll probably be forced to be sick during that whole time until it completely gets cold as the changing of weather always messes me up where I live. I'm going to approach things a little differently this time as the flu kept me in bed most of the day, which was the better option for me, I'm going to try and be up and active a little more with my cold. Can't do me any worse then what I have been, plus I rather hate being forced to stay in bed.
Second, I have a question for all of you Pokémon fans involving generation 6 of Pokémon, or to be more precise Pokémon X and Y. I've posted some pics of Mega Evolutions for the Pokémon that have them as well as certain new Pokémon and throughout some of the games in the series some Pokémon get new Evolutions, sometimes we see new Pokémon based off of animals never used before, sometimes we get unique Pokémon dual types, so my question or really I guess questions to all of you Pokémon fans is this; what Pokémon do you think should get a new evolution? What Pokémon do you think should get a Mega Evolution? [Mega Evolutions are Evolutions that are only supposed to last for one battle, then the Pokémon goes back to normal, but as a Mega Evolution the Pokémon's stats grow and at times its type can change as well, Mewtwo X for example is Psychic/Fighting.] What animal or creature of legend would you like to see turned into a Pokémon? What type combination would you like to see happening? What Pokémon's type would you like to see change? [I'm looking at you Gyarados, Water/Flying? Really? Really? Come on! That was dumb in generation 1! Change it!] What new Eevee type would you like to see? What do you expect from the new Fairy type? What Gym types would you like to see? And what types would you like to see the Elite Four have?
I'm really curious to know all of this and quite a bit more, so feel free to throw out something else that may interest you to see in Pokémon X and Y that I didn't mention.

I'm sorry to hear you've been sick all this time, or rather that you fell back to sickness -,-' I really like the new design! It gives the whole things some kind of a cozy feeling (I like rain). Makes me feel like: uuuh wind outside, rain drumming at my window, huddling up in a warm blanket with a nice hot cocoa in my hands and an old back-and-white crime movie to watch! Or: Sitting at my typewriter with candles flickering mystically in a sudden draw, while typing down an unsolved mystery in a town far far away with noone near to hear you scream! Okay maybe other people might find it rather disturbing, than cozy after my describtion but believe me, I really love that kind of atmosphere! *nod* Hm with Pokemon I guess I can't help much I havn't come to play any since they've gone away from Game Boy Advanced. What is the Fairy type?! Is that something cute?! I always liked Pikatchu and ... swamp...something... swampert! I really LOVED that one (and it's former evolutions)! I'm not sure if it's still in the new games but I would like seeing more of that kind. Oh and maybe Pikatchu could use an upgrade... I knwo many fans would kill me just for suggesting it but seruousely! His time is over!

Their is actually supposed to be clouds with the rain, but I have to stretch out the banner quite a bit for the entire banner to be seen. I like a lot of the atmosphere you described, kinda lost me a little with the old black-and-white crime movie and the unsolved mystery story, but the rest of it I like.
Fairy is the newest introduced type. I can't' remember everything with it, but I know that it is strong against Dragon as they wanted to weaken the Dragon type, not sure why though. Some Pokémon were also made the Fairy type, like Gardevoir, Clefairy and it's evolutions, Jigglypuff and its evolutions, I think Marill was made one too. Now sure if Swampert is in the new games, but there is probably some one to get it. Thing is, and it seems that people tend to forget this, Pikachu has an evolved form, Raichu. I like Raichu, never cared to much for Pikachu though, he was okay at first, but way overplayed and overrated solely because he was Ash's first Pokémon. When I was still a big fan of the series my friends and I always believed that if any other Pokémon had been Ash's first Pokémon, no matter who it was, even a Magikarp, it would be Pokémon's mascot and the strongest one in the TV series.

I thought so... Hum guess I need to check that out! *checked out* Okay there's not too much info on yet... Guess I need to wait a little longer or research more thoroughly... Well yeah I know about that one. I was always wandering, why that super strong perfect Pikatchu, Ash always carried around, never evolved to Raichu... Guess they really did want to keep it as a mascot. But actually it would have to evolve, since it became costantly stronger... That's why I'm saying: It needs an upgrade. Raichu is cool, I really like that. So how about another new form of Raichu since it never went any further for Pikatchu, while most pokemon got three evolitions after time.
