Should we remove the headline and featured sections?

So, we need to get something checked out and thus I created this.
One of the reason I choose Arthemia Premium as a theme for this site is because of the headline and featured sections.

A Challange? I accept

Submitted by manga on February 3, 2009 – 9:31 pm9 Comments

I love challanges sometimes

Apparently RiceBunny challanged me to write about myself. 8 Facts about myself or 8 (bad) habits as well as challange 8 more people.

I can say even now that I won´t challange more people, if my readers want to take up on this challange be my guest, but I won´t write any links here with written challanges. Sorry for that but since I don´t know how my friends would react to this type of challange I do not send it on. And for most of em, just read the “About” page and you´ll know their dark dark secrets :p

As usual there will be just random babbling in these kind of posts, but it might be some stuff that you haven´t already read or already know about me. Who knows?

1

I´ve got no condition. I play soccer 3 times a week and should be able to run for those 90mins but alas I can run a short while at max and then I need some small recharge time. The more I train the better my condition gets though.

2

I´m satisfied with my body. I´m a bit fat and have some small issues about it, but on the long run I´m really satisfied with my body. Sure I could lose some pounds and get some more muscles since it would help me in my soccer games. But yeah, pretty much satisfied with it.

3

Everything revolves around our dogs. I live at home and at the center of my life is our two dogs. I would gladely stay at home to keep them from being lonely than go on a trip or a soccer game. Luckily I don´t have to stay home from soccer games that much, but I´ve taken some time of from school to be home and keep our dogs company while studying.

4

I´m very interested in great designs. Thus making me spend a lot of time downloading images of 2d girls in various positions/clothing and what not. Lingerie/panties can be drawn in so many ways it´s a shock to see some of the designs. Even swimwear comes in this category so if I upload and show a image it´s probably because of that I found the image to fit the topic of the post or have some great design, somewhere.

5

I dislike anime where the breasts are to big and to much in focus. Kanokon is a good example of a great design, cute girls, nice layout on hair, lingerie and everything. But what does the show treat us to? Different ways of getting a guy to fall in love with you. Everything from spanking to “licking cake” is done which took everything away from the show for me. Even though I found Chizuru to be really cute.

6

One of my bad habits is that when I have money I tend to spend it even though I should save them. Like a iPod Touch even though I have no need for one as I have a mobile phone that does everything a Touch can do, but it´s nice to have one and it´s cool and all.

Or wanting to get yet another computer, but this time a Mac to try out the OS. Or getting a new TV with the only reason being that I want some HDMI ports and a FullHD TV.

7

When playing Street Fighter 2 or the new HD Remix version of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, I´m a bit like Ryu. The Fight is Everything. If I lose then that´s that, I need to find a way to beat this style or character. If I lose against someone who is just a bad fighter and just thinks about ranking then I feel hatred. That is not how SF2 is supposed to be played.

8

I have a thing for speedruns. I enjoy watching them, espacially games that I myself have finished to see what I can do to improve my play. Which is quite usefull for me. I don´t enjoy watching tool assisted speedruns though as it doesn´t feel like the game. These are something I can watch to be amazed at how players can dedicate so long, and still cheat so easily.

Or it is a game that I have an interest in that doesn´t have a “real” speedrun of it. Or just to waste time.

Finished

There. Don´t know how much of this was new to my readers, but at least I´ve written it down. Half of the challange completed. The other half is wasted on me, don´t want to do it and to lazy to decide what people I want to send it to. But that is a fact that everyone already knew about: I´m lazy as hell when it comes down to stuff that isn´t about our dogs, soccer or playing games.

    When I play arcades, I always choose a girl character so my opponent will think so that I’m weak then I’ll bang him with all my combos ^^. In SF’s case, it’s Cammy. If it’s Tekken, it’s Xiaoyu. I don’t but it’s been my habit all along. If I got defeated, I’ll just pretend that I really am a beginner. wahahaha.

    Also, I hate all ecchis in general. haha. I can withstand swim suits though.

  • manga says:

    Cammy is pretty strong and she has some deadly ways of hurting people.

    female characters are often more quicker than the males, thus needing a certain level of skill to be used wisely. And with the slow powerful hitters like Zangief you need to know even more what you´re doing…

    So that is no reason to be weak. Weak is a player only using Ryu and spamming fireballs untill he wins. THAT is being weak.

    Xiaoyu in Tekken is pretty usefull if you know how to controll her. When I used to play Tekken 3 and Xiaoyu all you had to do was some buttonmash and wow, how the hell did she just do that killer combo?

    Boring… now I don´t play 3d fighters.

    ecchi is good, unless it goes towards stupidity, then it´s bad :p

  • foomafoo says:

    Even SF is moving to 3D nowadays but I guess you can still call it 2D-ish since side step doesn’t exist.

    I don’t feel hatred though when I lose fights since I always have lotsa combination to do next fight to see who’s the better player nyahahaha. As a player I also specialize in visual data. I’m the type of arcade gamer that would want to depend on counters then do raining combos once I see an opening. I don’t do looking for patterns though. Instead, I’m doing confusing attacks that has multiple possible attack (like Xiaoyu’s phoenix) do lower the opponent’s guard.

    I was also set to buy Mac last year but ended up buying a DSLR instead. If I get some free time I might take this challenge as well ^^

  • manga says:

    foomafoo: It´s 2.5D :p And I dont like the way Capcom have moved things. SF should be 2D, not anything else.

    Yeah, lots of combinations. Not simply using Hadoukens all the time and when the opponent jumps over a hadouken and forward you s/he gets greated by a Shoryuken.

    It is irritating to say the least.

    shinji: While I have no idea what DSLR means I imagine it got a lot cheaper than getting a Mac :)

    You´re free to take the challange. I wrote this for fun and if my reader wants to take this challange then be my guest.

  • shinji says:

    It’s a digital single-lens reflex camera, sorry about that. A nikon d60 to be exact and yes it’s a bit cheaper than a Mac. I’ll just have to save again for the Macbook this year. This exercise looks fun so I might write something like this next week since I feel kinda lazy right now ^^

    No worries. No need to apologize for it. Write down things the way you want, if I don´t understand then I´ll ask about it.

    I found a article in one of the commercial blades that I got in the mail where you could get a macbook(the worst of them) for a pretty nice price. About 497.26 US if the currency converter that I´m using is right.

    The thing was that you had to create a account in one of our telephone companies and pay they for 2 years. For a mobile broadband that is popular these days.

    If it had been the company that I use for my mobile phone I wouldn´t have thought about it twice. I would have let my mom have my laptop that I´m using now and then I would have gotten it.
