Panther needs a new obsession.... D:

Panther385

Just as the title states. I'M BORED. So. Frigging. Bored.

It'll be a month before the next Fullmetal chapter is released. The Naruto manga is confusing... I look for the episodes on YouTube, but they're all spoof crap that makes fun of the series. Death Note bores me now. (Sorry Shaon!) Chobits gets cheesy. I finish checking and posting on roleplay sites within fifteen minutes ( I type fast.) and the posts usually end up crap. I never finish my stories. My comic is taking a helluva bunch of work to do (Damn unique universes! AND WHY CAN'T I DRAW WEAPONS?!) so it ends up being annoying.

So... Anybody got know an anime/manga I can read/watch so I don't die here? My brain is slowly melting away.... Razz

This is about as close to spam as you can get without actually being useless.

Panther, do what I do. Get out there and live your life. Stop spending all your life in front of the computer! The internet might be cool, but you can still get a kick out of real life.

If you already do that, and are simply filling your spare time, might I suggest a nice First Person Shooter?

It wasn't meant to be spam. I was just hoping someone could give me advice on how to fill my time. Sorry...

Er, I've never really liked FPS that much. Too bloody. *says the girl who watches splatter horror anime*

In responce to Goron's comment: Hey, it's general chat for a reason. You've gotta have something to watch on a rainy day. Hell, I'd watch TV on a sunny day Razz

. Not everyone has a computer capable of playing First Person Shooters, and even then some parents don't allow it. At least this thread is a good place to see what everyone else watches.

Well... *Is stuck between admitting he watches cartoons or avoiding the inevitable teasing by his fellow council-members*

I've seen some good pseudo-anime come out of France. The dubbing isn't always very good (Skyland is HORRIBLE. Utterly, fantastically awesome, but HORRIBLE), but I've seen some good concepts as well. I saw one earlier today called Code Lyoko. Trademark horrible theme tune, and it lacks an ongoing plot (at least from what I can tell), but the concept seems pretty interesting.

One Piece has the world's suckiest theme song (which is incredibly hard in terms of Anime), but I've heard good things about it. Ghost in the Shell is supposed to be very philosophical, but I just like watching all they pretty lights Wink

. .Hack//sign is pretty good, as are presumably the rest of the .Hack series. Avatar's worth a try,I havn't watched enough of it to tell.

When in doubt, there's good 'ole American comedy. Futurama, Family Guy, et cetera. Made in America, drawn in Korea and god only knows where the scripts are from, they're generally worth a few laughs.

There are a few good online comics worth looking at. Concerned is a paraody of Half-life 2, and Megatokyo's good too. I used to read a small webcomic called Ransom, but I've lost interest in it. It might be NSFW, I havn't bothered to check Razz

. Mecha Soup is Awesome with a capital A. http://www.mechasoup.com/index.php?date=2005-12-23. See what I mean?

If all else fails, Google something mildly interesting and see what comes up. It's a good way to spend an hour or two if you've got nothing better to do.

EDIT: *Winces at TROT's collection.*

((The full title was Megaman NT Warrior, BTW. (Holy crap Megaman runs Windows. Well, that explains the blue Razz

).))

For full brain exploding enjoyment, I suggest Neon Genesis Evangelon, both the anime and the manga. It has giant robot fights, which is always the win, doesn't make much sense half the time, and what is explained will make your brain hurt. BAD. Smile

Code Lyoko is good, and Netdriod. Fear the monsoon of several shows/movies that I'm starting to remember! Twisted Evil

*Dumbs hundreds (or thousands) of different T.V. shows. Some are Danny Phantom, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Ben 10, Camp Lazlo, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Squirrel Boy, Xiaolin Showdown, Code Name: KND, Samurai Jack, Transformers Robots in Disguise, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, Fairy Odd parents, Evil Cone Carne, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Team Galaxy.... the list goes on and on.*

Now what's really scary is that I've seen all of the shows mentioned in this thread. Dun dun duuuuuun!

@Net: Code Lyoko was awesome until the second season, when some other sompany bought the rights and made it crappy. Too much wordy drama. (I mean, c'mon! Binary flood at the last second? Destroying the ice sector? Puh-leeze! )

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: 4Kids RUINED ONE PIECE. I can't even begin to name all teh crap they did. (Like why the hell did they turn all the guns green?!) The Japanese opening is better. Same with German, Italian, and every country except America. D:<

The VGCat's author's opinion on the conversion is funny, and sums it up well. With blood. Very Happy

Poor, poor Luffy...

Avatar is most certainly good. Watch it, or I'll eat your soul. *licks lips*

I've watched .hack// before... A really old one back in, like, 2004. Razz

@TROT: I want to marry you and have your babies. *drags Trot away into the unknown*

I'm not ready, noooooo! *Tries to pry Panther of and run away, however Panther over powered him,* Now I know how HE feels.

In response to Net's first sentence: I now give you the least enforced rule on Blackstar.

You've really got to stop being so defensive, I was just pointing it out.

There have been a few good films out recently, Saw 3 is sickly sweet, Borat is the best comedy film I've seen this year, and Tenacious D is shaping up to be this generation's Bill And Ted. Of course, if you are too young to go and see any of these films, I'm sure there is some sort of CG film doing the rounds at the moment. I like the cinema, maybe because I live so close to one I could probably leap out of my window and land on it.

If you play PC or PS2 games I'm sure I might be able to recommend some, just tell me what kind of games you like (except Creatures).

Addman, Saw 3 was pretty bad I thought. Not as good as the previous ones. Razz

I saw James Bond at the cinema a few days ago and it was really good. I found it to be a little long but my fellow cinema viewers didn't. It wasn't long in the sense that it got boring though, I just can't sit in one place for more than a couple of hours. Watching lord of the rings in one viewing is hard for me. Razz

Hopefully I shall be seeing Tenacious D at the weekend! I've seen many a trailer for it and I am happy to report a demon will make an appearance as well as a powerslide by the one and only JB.

Onto games. I haven't played that many recently, just going out is difficult for me nowadays with all the work piling on. It's a relief that everyone seems to have done just as much work as me though. Why not try the full command and conquer boxset. Bought that a few months back and there's a hell of a lot of playing time involved. Failing that you could play Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, or even Neverwinter Nights.

This site has some rather addictive games. I personly like the queens jewels and the princess tiara, but it's not up to me what you play.

Hope you find a new obbsesion, Panthar.
